Download or read book Mobilizing Place Placing Mobility written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-08-15 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What role does ‘place’ have in a world marked by increased mobility on a global scale? What strategies are there for representing ‘place’ in the age of globalization? What is the relationship between ‘place’ and the varied mobilities of migrancy, tourism, travel and nomadism? These are some of the questions that run through the ten essays in this collection. The combined effect of these essays is to participate in the contemporary project of subjecting the links between place, mobility, identity, representation and practice to critical interdisciplinary scrutiny. Such notions are not the property of particular disciplines. In the era of globalization, transnationalism and readily acknowledged cultural hybridity these links are more important than ever. They are important because of the taken-for-grantedness of: the universal impact of globalization; the receding importance of place and the centrality of mobile identities. This taken-for-grantedness masks the ways place continues to be important and ways in which mobility is differentiated by race, gender, ethnicity, nationality and many other social markers. This book is a concerted attempt to stop taking for granted these themes of the age. Material discussed in the essays include the creation of cultural routes in Europe, the video’s of Fiona Tan, artistic and literary representations of the North African desert, the production of indigenous videos in Mexico, mobile forms of ethnography, the film Existenz, Jamaica Kincaid’s writing on gardens, the video representation of sex tourism and ways of imagining the global. Authors include: Tim Cresswell, Ginette Verstraete, Ernst van Alphen, Ursula Biemann, Laurel C. Smith, Nick Couldry, Isabel Hoving, Renée van de Vall, Inge E. Boer and Kevin Hetherington.

Download or read book Mind the Screen written by Jaap Kooijman and published by Amsterdam University Press. This book was released on 2008 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mind the Screen pays tribute to the work of the pioneering European film scholar Thomas Elsaesser, author of several volumes on media studies and cinema culture. Covering a full scope of issues arising from the author’s work—from melodrama and mediated memory to avant-garde practices, media archaeology, and the audiovisual archive—this collection elaborates and expands on Elsaesser’s original ideas along the topical lines of cinephilia, the historical imaginary, the contemporary European cinematic experience, YouTube, and images of terrorism and double occupancy, among other topics. Contributions from well-known artists and scholars such as Mieke Bal and Warren Buckland explore a range of media concepts and provide a mirror for the multi-faceted types of screens active in Elsaesser’s work, including the television set, video installation, the digital interface, the mobile phone display, and of course, the hallowed silver screen of our contemporary film culture.

Download or read book Negative Cosmopolitanism written by Eddy Kent and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2017-11-10 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From climate change, debt, and refugee crises to energy security, environmental disasters, and terrorism, the events that lead nightly newscasts and drive public policy demand a global perspective. In the twentieth century the world sought solutions through formal institutions of international governance such as the United Nations, the International Criminal Court, and the World Bank, but present-day responses to global realities are often more provisional, improvisational, and contingent. Tracing this uneven history in order to identify principal actors, contesting ideologies, and competing rhetoric, Negative Cosmopolitanism challenges the Kantian ideal of cosmopolitanism as the precondition for a perpetual global peace. Uniting literary scholars with researchers working on contemporary problems and those studying related issues of the past – including slavery, industrial capitalism, and corporate imperialism – essays in this volume scrutinize the entanglement of cosmopolitanism within expanding networks of trade and global capital from the eighteenth century to the present. By doing so, the contributors pinpoint the ways in which whole populations have been unwillingly caught up in a capitalist reality that has little in common with the earlier ideals of cosmopolitanism. A model for provoking new and necessary questions about neoliberalism, biopolitics, colonialism, citizenship, and xenophobia, Negative Cosmopolitanism establishes a fresh take on the representation of globalization and modern life in history and literature. Contributors Include Timothy Brennan (University of Minnesota), Juliane Collard (University of British Columbia), Mike Dillon (California State University, Fullerton), Sneja Gunew (University of British Columbia), Dina Gusejnova (University of Sheffield), Heather Latimer (University of British Columbia), Pamela McCallum (University of Calgary), Geordie Miller (Dalhousie University), Dennis Mischke (Universität Stuttgart), Peter Nyers (McMaster University), Liam O’Loughlin (Pacific Lutheran University), Crystal Parikh (New York University), Mark Simpson (University of Alberta), Melissa Stephens (Vancouver Island University), and Paul Ugor (Illinois State University).

Download or read book Art in Mind written by Ernst van Alphen and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2005-03-10 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Art has the power to affect our thinking, changing not only the way we view and interact with the world but also how we create it. Art can be considered as a commanding force with the capacity to shape our intellect and intervene in our lives. Art is a historical agent, or a cultural creator, that propels thought and experience forward. The author demonstrates that art serves a socially constructive function by actually experimenting with the parameters of thought, employing work from artists as Picasso, Watteau, Bacon, Dumas and Matthew Barney. Art confronts viewers with the 'pain points' of cultural experience, and thereby transforms the ways in which human existence is concieved.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Disassembling the Archive is a quasi-fictional correspondence with the artist Fiona Tan. It departs from interpretations of post-colonial identity issues in her work to trace the implications of the archival housing of photographs and moving images. By way of a detour through Siegfried Kracauer's writing on photography and Jacques Derrida's writing on the Freudian impression, we witness - right before our eyes - the disintegrative and destructive effect of photography on the archive."--BOOK JACKET.

This stylish exhibition catalogue marks Sherman Contemporary Art Foundation's (SCAF) presentation of Fiona Tan: Coming Home. Two Sydney venues each are hosting a separate body of work.

Download or read book Transdiscourse 2 written by Jill Scott and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2016-01-29 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Turbulence and Reconstruction ist eine Anthologie von künstlerischen und wissenschaftlichen Sichtweisen auf unsere Gesellschaft. Die Autoren gehen davon aus, dass Kunst und Wissenschaft produktive Denkräume bieten und uns dazu ermutigen, neue Konzepte und Kategorisierungen zu entwickeln, die Potenziale freisetzen und von denen wir in Zukunft profitieren können. Wesentlich dabei ist, dass die alten Grenzen zwischen den Disziplinen überwunden und die wechselseitige Wirkung von Technologie und Realität diskutiert werden kann. Turbulenz und Wiederaufbau sind Prozesse, die nicht nur Darstellung, Kategorien, urbane Lebensräume und Energieverbrauch betreffen, sondern auch unsere Beziehung zu Medien und Technologien – und damit zur digitalen Ideologie von Interaktion und Substitution.
