30 mins confidence:
autochthonous specificity of the times and the cosmos Language variant: US Explanation: I'm assuming you're looking for alternatives to the obvious choice, which would be "native particularity." I think the author is both setting up a contrast to a sort of generic globalization there are similarities between the work of artists in Mexico and those working in the American Southwest not due to recent global histories, but due to deep, shared, specific, and local histories. If you prefer something other than "native," I think autochthonous carries the same dual sense of generally deep local roots and specifically indigenous/"native" in the Native American sense. |

14 hrs confidence:
group consciousness born of the times and the cosmos Explanation: "group consciousness" is a consciousness which is simultaneously shared by all the members of the group - which they all draw from and contribute to simultaneously. That is why they often produce similar work at the same time, although they are far apart physically. |
