In this collection of essays, "¡Atención México! Positionen der Gegenwart”, Guillermo Gómez- Peña, Anne Huffschmid, Günther Maihold, Carlos Monsiváis, Juan Villoro, and others delve
into Mexico’s complex societal structure. The transitional space on Mexico’s northern border, where the wealthy North, the USA, meets the South, is predestined for journeys of societal and artistic discovery. The themes of modernity, the border, the city, and identity are the leitmotifs throughout this critical inventory of Mexico – supplemented with stretches of pictures celebrating the aesthetics of alienation. The conflicts in Mexico can be seen as representing the tensions of the globalization process: modernization and uniformization in the space of cultural transition, on the one hand, and factionalization and the intensification of ethnic identity, on the other.
