University of California Press, in its peer-reviewed journal Latin American and Latinx Visual Culture, publishes Adriana Miramontes Olivas's research "Los neoliberarchivos de Teresa Margolles: Contemporary Art at the Mexico - U.S. Border." Miramontes coined the term "neoliberarchivos" to define contemporary artistic responses that both document and denounce violence and the conditions that produce it and maintain it. A response to the neoliberal regime and the archive, the "neoliberal archives," or neoliberarchivos, participate in a counter-archival impulse to expose the "feminicidios," "masculinicidios," and "juvenicidios." In video art, sculpture, and performance, Margolles's artworks contest a "politica de negacion," or politics of denial, and function to question hegemonic economic and power structures that render life precarious and expendable.
