Abstract:

Performative Images draws upon the work of video artists and activists in France between the 1970s and the early 2020s and focuses on significant practices with technology. Video art and video activism are analysed together in the book to revaluate key concepts in media studies and foreground a performative approach to the theory of image technology. The book engages works in visual culture, performance studies, digital studies, critical race theory, and feminist methodologies to account for the changes brought about by video technology in social and psychic life.

Abstract:

From user-generated images of streets to professional architectural renderings, and from digital maps and drone footages to representations of invisible digital ecologies, this collection of essays analyses the emergent practices of visualizing the street. Today, advancements in digital technologies of the image have given rise to the production and dissemination of imagery of streets and urban realities in multiple forms. The ubiquitous presence of digital visualizations has in turn created new forms of urban practice and modes of spatial encounter. Everyone who carries a smartphone not only

Abstract:

How did objects move between places and people, and how did they reshape the Republic’s arts, cultures and sciences? ‘Objects’ were vitally significant for the early modern Dutch Republic, which is known as an early consumer society, a place famous for its exhaustive production of books, visual arts and scientific instruments. What happens when we push these objects and their materiality to the centre of our research? How do they invite us to develop new perspectives on the early modern Dutch Republic? And how do they contest the boundaries of the academic disciplines that have traditionally o

Abstract:

The emergence of the Safavid Empire in the early sixteenth century marked a significant change in the geopolitics of the Middle East. This momentous change coincided with the widening of Ottoman expansion eastward and the exploration by European powers, especially by Venice, of the possibilities of forming alliances against the Ottomans with the involvement of the Safavids. Thus, Ottoman threat and commercial interests contributed to the emergence and development of diplomatic, cultural, and trade relations between the Republic of Venice and the Safavid Empire, which lasted until the end of th

Abstract:

Visual Culture in Freud’s Vienna shows how photography and film in turn-of-the-century Vienna (the birthplace of psychoanalysis) not only reflected modernist ideas already in force, but helped to bring into being what might be referred to as a “psychoanalytic imagination.” Mary Bergstein demonstrates that visual images not only illustrated, but also engendered ways of seeing social, psychological, and scientific ideas during a formative time in the creation and development of psychoanalysis and the modern age. Indeed, she argues that visual culture initiated significant aspects of psychoanalyt

Abstract:

The distinction between understanding sight as a natural faculty - vision - and understanding it as an historical and social construct - visuality - has had significant impact in the visual arts. Not so in social theory where, notwithstanding the efforts of the classical theorists, the practical scientific necessity of privileging visuality over vision has been lost. The Visual in Social Theory argues that, because of its uncritical use of terms like modernity, postmodernity, globalisation and the Third Way, contemporary social theory has become a participant in rather than a critic of 'promot

In today’s fast-paced society, time often feels like it’s slipping away more quickly than ever before. The constant stream of information, rapid technological advancements, and visual overload from screens have all contributed to a heightened sense of urgency and acceleration in daily life. This modern experience raises questions about how the pace of society interacts with our subjective perception of time. Visual stimuli, particularly in environments saturated with motion, advertisements, and digital content, play a significant role in shaping how fast or slow we feel time is passing. As our

Yet to neglect themise en scèneof a Sondheim musical (at least in its original incarnation) is to deny the significant planning and thought that Sondheim devotes to the visual–kinetic realization of his work.

The 16th and 17th centuries in Europe witnessed a significant paradigm shift.

Interiors in both public and private spaces changed to reflect these cultural encounters and, with them, the furniture with which they were populated. Visually, furniture of this period displayed new designs, forms and materials. In its uses, it also mirrored developments in science

Abstract:

This chapter, reports on a prospectively matched controlled trial in which Inouye et al. examined the comparative effectiveness of a targeted multicomponent strategy for reducing the risk of delirium with that of usual standard care. The six targeted baseline risk factors in delirium-free patients admitted to a medical service in a teaching hospital were cognitive impairment, sleep deprivation, immobility, visual impairment, hearing impairment, and dehydration. Using standardized interventions for each of these when present, 42/426 (9.9%) of those in the intervention group had a first-incident

Abstract:

Many tasks could drive the evolution of bird sensory systems. Key candidates are flight, foraging, predator detection, and reproduction. Comparative analysis of visual fields and retinal structures shows functionally significant differences in the vision of even closely related species. These are best explained by foraging being the primary driver of vision in birds, and this is traded-off against the demands of predator detection. The key task is the control of bill position and timing its arrival at a target. This is achieved by the extraction of information from the optic flow-field which e

Abstract:

International law textbooks, casebooks and manuals are important to study as they help to reveal how international law is understood, found, and interpreted by the current generation of international lawyers in a particular state and how this conventional wisdom is passed on to the next generation. These books play a significant socializing role in shaping international lawyers’ knowledge of which issues are core, which sources are important, which debates are controversial, which norms are settled, and who and what the leading authorities are. This chapter compares the books that are used to

Abstract:

The first in-depth study of David Bowie’s music videos across a sustained period takes on interweaving storyworlds of an iconic career. Remarkable for their capacity to conjure elaborate imagery, Bowie’s videos provide fascinating exemplars of the artistry and remediation of music video. When their construction is examined across several years, they appear as time-travelling vessels, transporting kooky characters and strange story-world components across time and space. By charting Bowie’s creative and collaborative process across five distinct phases, David Bowie and the Art of Music Video sh

Abstract:

This chapter analyzes Sarah Bernhardt at Home to show how Sarah Bernhardt, by exploring the different spaces that together represent “the home,” reveals her home's expansive horizons. It asks what it is we are seeing when we watch Sarah Bernhardt at Home by tackling a number of questions, for example, why Bernhardt made a film that had little or nothing to do with her famous theatrical roles. The focus is on what we can see on the film today: the different places, activities, and people that constitute Bernhardt “at home.” The chapter first looks at Hecla Films, which produced Sarah Bernhardt

The most successful superheroes of modern cinema are Superman and Batman.

Abstract:

Between 1974 and 1989, significant changes were taking place in the lives of Singaporean women and in their local fashion industry. These shifts were not only reflected in but actively shaped by the magazine Her World. In Her World, Women and Fashion in Singapore, Nadya Wang uses dress as a lens through which to view fragments of the magazine over 15 years. Advocating for a new and decentred understanding of the evolution of the Singapore woman, Wang’s writing also traces the creation of a fashion industry that pivoted from seeking validation from global fashion cities to establishing itself a

Abstract:

Holes are paradoxes of visual culture and human behavior. Difficult to define, alive with consequence, holes affect behavior in significant ways. This chapter examines holes as slippery, elusive, material, always absent, and as parasites (to surfaces). Starting with the author’s excavation of 8,000-year-old pit-houses from the Neolithic site at Măgura (Romania), this chapter investigates the complexities of holes and surfaces as philosophic entities, and then examines the cutting work of the late twentieth-century artist Gordon Matta-Clark. The approach taken is to juxtapose otherwise disparat
