Catholic Irish Australia and the Labor Movement
Authors: Malcolm Elizabeth , Hall Dianne
Published: September 2018

The Australian and American labor movements attracted the support of many Irish Catholic immigrants. Yet in Australia, the relationship between the Catholic community and organized labor was never an easy one. State funding of church schools was a perennial problem: Catholic leaders demanded it, while the Australian Labor Party (ALP) equivocated over the issue. This chapter investigates two further issues that also seriously tested the relationship: one involving race, the other nationalism. In the 1890s, the labor movement supported a ban on “colored” immigration, yet the Catholic Church aspired to play a leading role in missions to China. In debates around immigration restriction, Cardinal Moran of Sydney therefore sought to avoid offending the Chinese by attacking instead British attempts to dictate Australia’s immigration policy. During World War I, the ALP, which supported Britain and the empire, found the rise of anti-British republicanism in Ireland a difficult issue to manage. As a result, although sympathetic to Irish grievances, labor newspapers were very selective in their reporting and sought to impose a class, rather than a nationalist, interpretation on events. In both these cases conflict was contained, and it was not until the 1950s that a major split involving Catholics and the ALP occurred, this time over the issue of communism.
Comparative Mutinies
Authors: Wise Nathan
Published: September 2018

In May-June, 1863, over one hundred men of the 2nd Maine Volunteer Infantry Regiment, veterans of over two years of hard fighting throughout the Eastern Theatre of the American Civil War, conducted a protest against their treatment by military authorities. Fifty-five years later, in September 1918, several battalions of volunteers from the Australian Imperial Force (AIF) conducted a similar series of protests on the Western Front, also as a form of resistance to their treatment by military authorities. These were very different fighting forces in two very different wars, but there are remarkable similarities in the causes of their respective actions, in the sentiment expressed by the soldiers, in the nonviolent nature of the action, and in the eventual resolution of the issues at the heart of the action. This chapter explores those key aspects of these protests through a close comparative analysis. It relies primarily on written accounts both from individuals involved in the strikes and from individuals involved in resolving the strikes, in order to understand common environmental factors and psychological concerns shared by men of the 2nd Maine Regiment in 1863 and the battalions of the Australian Imperial Force in 1918. Finally, the approach used in this paper focuses on the experiences of soldiers as workers within the military, and through this approach this paper seeks to draw out broader conclusions about the cultural links between civil society and military environments.
How to Build a Trade Union Oligarchy
Authors: Stephenson Scott
Published: September 2018

Trade unions are ostensibly democratic organizations, but they often fail to operate as democracies in practice. Most studies of Western trade union democracy have acknowledged that oligarchy is the norm among unions but have nonetheless examined exceptional democratic unions to understand how those unions defied the trend. My study inverts this approach and instead examines two known oligarchical unions, the Australian Workers Union (AWU) and the United Automobile Workers (UAW) in the United States. I argue that union oligarchy requires certain conditions to thrive. Both unions lacked democratic rules, close-knit occupational communities, local autonomy, rank-and-file decision making, internal opposition, equality between members and officials, and free communication, but these absences were expressed in different ways in each organization. Comparing a prominent US union with a prominent Australian union allows for assessment of the extent to which oligarchy was the result of national context. I argue that the experience of trade union oligarchy in the United States and Australia was more similar than different. National differences between the two countries were important, but they manifested primarily as different methods to achieve similar outcomes.
The Experience of Labor in the Age of Reform
Authors: Huf Benjamin
Published: September 2018

Over the past two decades, labor historians in America and Australia have deployed a range of new analytic tools to challenge older, essentialist interpretations of working-class politics in each country (rendering them anomalous compared to their European forebears) and better evaluate workers’ thoughts and actions on their “own terms.” This chapter continues this process of revision. It compares workers’ responses to major pieces of welfare reform in each country during the Depression era, not to assess them as agents of social change but for insight into their self-understanding as political subjects. Specifically, reactions to the contributory principle that underpinned both the Social Security Act in the United States and the National Insurance Act in Australia highlights the ways in which workers’ negotiation of institutional change might affirm or alter political self-understandings. American workers’ acceptance of the contributory principle accompanied the construction of a newfound “self-governance” and “consumer citizenship” among white, working men, whereas Australian workers’ hostility to the principle was couched in a pre-existing sense of “independence” and “self-reliance” undergirded by existing social and wage policies. A comparative approach thus stresses the historicity and contingency of working-class subjectivities even in two countries much alike for their “liberal hegemony” and helps open up the possibility of rethinking institutional forms and their relations with constituting new subjectivities in late-capitalist societies.
Anarchy at the Antipodes
Authors: Goyens Tom
Published: September 2018

This essay recasts the formative years of Australian anarchism from 1885 to World War I as a symbiotic relation between the local and transnational by exploring connections between its key figures (Andrade, Andrews, and Fleming) and the American movement. Despite their small size, Australian anarchists were “rooted cosmopolitans” sustaining their club through international periodical exchange, even though none of the key figures traveled to the United States. This way, Australian anarchism remained part of the radical conversation during the 1880s and 1890s, especially regarding Haymarket, May Day, and the Depression jobless. Individualist anarchists, who shunned mass revolutionary politics, dominated in 1880s Australia, whereas in the United States, revolutionary anarchism with federated groups cultivated by Germans remained the majority movement into the 1920s. Despite a small German contingent in Adelaide, after 1900 Australian anarchists had no movement, whereas US revolutionary anarchism simply extended through the lives of new immigrants from Eastern and Southern Europe.
Harry Bridges’s Australia, Australia’s Harry Bridges
Authors: Cherny Robert
Published: September 2018

Harry Bridges, longtime leader of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU, representing Pacific Coast workers), was born in Australia in 1901 and came to the United States in 1920. Bridges brought Australian concepts of labor and politics to the docks of San Francisco in the early 1930s and injected Australian examples into his discussions of US working conditions and politics thereafter. When faced in 1939-1955 with deportation for being a Communist, he always attributed his political outlook to his early experiences in Australia. Bridges was frequently demonized in the US press, and a similar process occurred in Australia as the press there drew upon the US press in presenting Bridges. Just as business groups and conservatives in the United States saw Bridges as a dangerous radical, so too did conservative Australian politicians let their fear of Bridges carry them into a Quixotic campaign to prevent him from sneaking into their country. However, the Australian dockworkers’ union, the Waterfront Workers’ Federation, looked to Bridges and the ILWU as inspiration and exemplar, and Bridges and the ILWU worked closely with their counterparts in Australia. With the thaw in the Cold War aecline in anticommunist rhetoric in both nations, Bridges could be celebrated in both places as a “labor statesman.”
Conclusion
Authors: Stromquist Shelton , Patmore Greg
Published: September 2018

Comparative history provides an opportunity for scholars to move beyond national boundaries and reflect on their own societies in new light. But such comparisons are not always straightforward. While both Australia and the United States have federal governments, the state played a more coercive role against organized labor and radicals in the United States than in Australia. Several factors softened the impact of the state on labor in Australia: a stronger trade union movement, the formation of labor parties, and a political consensus on regulating industrial relations at least until the 1980s. In the United States, unbridled hostility of large corporations toward organized labor governed state policy. Despite these differences, labor in both countries found political space to promote progressive policies and modify the harsh behavior of governments....
Eco-Friendly Pharmaceutical Analysis of Multicomponent Drugs Coformulated in Different Dosage Forms Using Multivariate Curve Resolution and Partial Least Squares: A Comparative Study
Authors: Mostafa Ahmed , Shaaban Heba , Almousa Mishal , Al Sheqawi Mishal , Almousa Muntdher
Published: September 2018

Background: Considering the environmental impact of analytical procedures necessitates replacing the polluting analytical methods with green alternatives. Objective: This study aims to develop and validate a multivariate curve resolution–alternating least-squares (MCR-ALS) method with correlation constraint for the simultaneous determination of theophylline, ambroxol, and guaifenesin as target analytes in the presence of methylparaben and propylparaben as interfering components. In addition, a partial least-squares regression (PLSR) method was also developed andoptimized. Method: The developed methods were validated according to International Conference on Harmonization guidelines and successfully applied for the quantification of the target analytes in different pharmaceutical dosage forms. Results: Figures of merit such as root mean square error of prediction, bias, standard error of prediction, and relative error of prediction for both models were calculated, and they showedsimilar and satisfactory results. Correlation coefficients ranged between 0.9988 and 0.9992, reflectinghigh predictive ability. The optimized methods werecompared with a reported HPLC method using one-wayanalysis of variance and showed no significant difference regarding accuracy and precision. Conclusions: The proposed chemometrics methods can be used as an eco-friendly alternative for chromatographic techniques for the quality control analysis of the studied mixture in different pharmaceutical dosage forms. Highlights: An MCR-ALS model was developed. The developed model was compared with a PLSR model. Both models were validated and successfully used for the determinationof a multicomponent pharmaceutical mixture. The developed method is eco-friendly, fast, reliable, and cost-effective.
Racial Thinking
Authors: Hartigan John
Published: September 2018

Chapter Three examines racial thinking from a number of angles, beginning with the nativist anxiety over transgenic threats to the razas de maíz that has pulsated through Mexican public discourse over the last decade; then shifting to agronomic efforts to survey the condition of the razas in the state of Guanajuato, specifically.
Species Thinking
Authors: Hartigan John
Published: September 2018

Chapter Five is about species thinking—the capacity for thought to move through life forms, not as specimens but as complex assemblages distended in time and space. This capacity arises from geneticists’ ability to formulate epistemological alignments between species. What can be known about any one species often depends upon calibrating what is known about and through others, typically model organisms.
Living Ethnographies
Authors: Hartigan John
Published: September 2018

Chapter Six offers tours of the three gardens’ living collections, as well as discussions with taxonomists about how they decide what plants to display and how they organize their field collecting projects. Their representational challenges are immense—in the field and in the garden—and these botanists are well-aware they contend with a public whose attention is notoriously limited and generally not oriented towards encountering vegetative life forms.
Species Don’t Exist
Authors: Hartigan John
Published: September 2018

Chapter Seven samples my various discussions with botanists about how the species concept holding up. Their answers are consistently surprising, provocative and insightful. Taxonomists, I learn, are radically constructivist in their approach—though their work involves highly detailed and exacting identification of species. They increasingly vie against geneticists who promote identifying species by molecular analysis.
Care and Its Publics
Authors: Hartigan John
Published: September 2018

Chapter Eight shifts gears to consider how publics are engaged by the gardens. This chapter shows how people varyingly interact with and respond to botanical knowledge as they encounter plants along branching garden paths. But it also examines important sites that are not open to the public—seedbanks, crucial sites for discussions of biodiversity but that also challenge our basic understandings of gardens.
Modernity

Considers the emergence and the meaning of “autonomy” in modern philosophy, by paying special attention to the Kantian turn and its aftermath.
Life
Authors: Tarizzo Davide
Published: September 2018

Examines the emergence and the metaphysical meaning of “autonomous life” in the fields of philosophy (Kant, Fichte, Schelling) and of biology (from Darwin to Dawkins), then explaining where, why and how this metaphysical concept is still at work in contemporary thought (Freud, Canguilhem, Dennett).
Value
Authors: Logan Cameron
Published: September 2018

explores the economic and planning rationale for an expanded historic preservation movement particularly as it emerged in Georgetown in the 1920s. This Georgetown model was adopted by a succession of neighborhoods in later decades but also became a source of instability for the preservation movement.
Taste
Authors: Logan Cameron
Published: September 2018

argues that architectural taste was central to the expansion of preservation in the later decades of the twentieth century. The chapter analyses shifts in taste and the impact of those shifts on the possibilities for successful neighborhood restoration and preservation.
Race and Resistance
Authors: Logan Cameron

“It’s Still Not Over”
Authors: Koepnick Lutz
Published: September 2018

Chapter 3: discussion of the long-take work of Tsai Ming-liang and BelaTarr, the first using relative static, the latter intricately moving camera setups; arguing against schoalrs who see their work as nostalgic, apocalyptic, and deeply cinephilic, the chapter explores the extent to which long takes her function as conduits of sensory self-experimentation and interpretative deferral, at once pulling the viewer into and pushing him out of the image; and how they reckon with viewers deeply accustomed to mutli-screen uses and mobile forms of spectatorship.
Funny Takes?
Authors: Koepnick Lutz
Published: September 2018

Chapter 5: reading one of Michael Haneke’s most infamous long takes so as to show that not all long takes square with the aesthetics of the wondrous as discussed in this book; Haneke’s late modernist strategies of shaming spectators is seen as the mere flipside of what the logic of 24-7 screen interactivity demands from us; asking us to be ever alert, Haneke’s project exemplifies what I call anti-wonder.
Conclusion
Authors: Koepnick Lutz
Published: September 2018

Conclusion: the focus is on durational work done with handheld screens (Janet Cardiff/Georges Bures Miller) and video games; the aim is not simply to probe the extent to which we can locate the durational as a stage for the wondrous in technological environments whose emphasis on mobility is normally seen as hostile to contemplative modes of perception, but in so doing to define an expanded concept of contemporary art cinema—a polymorphic concept of art cinema centrally concerned with exploring the temporality of movement, of bodies and matter in motion, across different media today.
But Do You Actually Do GIS?
Authors: Wilson Matthew W.
Published: September 2018

But Do You Actually Do GIS? is the introductory chapter, which sets the stage for the interventions--the five factures--of chapters 2 through 6. Importantly, this chapter suggests that the relatively increasing interests in the mapping sciences in a variety of disciplines is related to the crisis of public confidence in higher education around questions of utility and relevance.
Criticality
Authors: Wilson Matthew W.
Published: September 2018

Criticality traces the origin stories of critical mapping while attempting to forward a renewed agenda that sidesteps the baggage of the word ‘critical’. It proposes that the heart of this agenda is in our understanding of how maps disclose and stage information, how maps handle time and liveliness, and the responsibilities of maps and mapmaking.
Digitality
Authors: Wilson Matthew W.
Published: September 2018

Digitality traces the origin stories of digital mapping while attempting to understand the rather artificial ways in which ethics and creative thought is considered separate from technical experimentation. The chapter discusses the site of the Harvard Laboratory for Computer Graphics in the mid-1960s.
Attention
Authors: Wilson Matthew W.
Published: September 2018

Attention draws forward these historical accounts to the present moment of fixation on digital media. This chapter argues that ignoring the rapid pace of mediatization is disastrous for a community-engaged mapping impulse.
A Single Point Does Not Form a Line
Authors: Wilson Matthew W.
Published: September 2018

A Single Point Does Not Form a Line provides a kind of culminating manifesto for the slow map--arguing that instead of drawing lines and tracing drawn lines, that we make maps of traces. This short chapter provides a launch pad to begin to look anew at cartographies past and maps yet made to find their most resonate and responsible lines.
Introduction
Authors: Mack Jennifer
Published: September 2018

The Introduction explores modernism, equality, and standardization in the development of European suburbs. I question the predominant narratives of post-utopian decline or, alternatively, grassroots resilience and place the book within the framework of studies of suburbs and questions of European immigration and integration. Mack positions Sweden in the context of its international status as an ideal place for asylum seekers and immigrants.
Standards and Separatism
Authors: Mack Jennifer
Published: September 2018

Chapter 1 compares the spatial agendas of the Swedish welfare state and Syriacs. The “Million Program” (1965 to 1974) saw Sweden develop one million dwelling units through standardized forms meant to reduce social inequalities. In contrast, Syriacs’ experiences with discrimination in theMiddle East made them positive to enclaves and spatial differentiation.
Making Mesopotälje
Authors: Mack Jennifer
Published: September 2018

Chapter 3 examines “diaspora space”–usually used solely as metaphor–in connection with Syriac monumental architectural spaces for theSyriac Orthodox Church and the Assyriska and Syrianska soccer clubs, sacred and profanerespectively. These social institutions developed during the 1970s and 1980s but eventually required dedicated physical spaces.
“Södertälje Is a Theater”
Authors: Mack Jennifer
Published: September 2018

Chapter 4 focuses on both permanent spaces and temporary spatial practices associated with weddings and funerals. Urban spaces have become backdrops for a roleplaying game with an ever-attentive audience, as Syriacs metamorphose between audience members and stage actors and continually reinscribe social expectations about personal bodily and social propriety.
Conclusion
Authors: Mack Jennifer
Published: September 2018

The Conclusion zeroes in on “urban design from below” as the aggregate result of the Syriacs’ discrete projects. This phenomenon functions as a space between the “top-down” official designs and plans and the “bottom-up” forms of community activism without an effect on the form of physical space. So-called “users” have become designers.
When the Hills Are Gone
Authors: Pearson Thomas W.
Published: September 2018

When the Hills Are Gone tells the story of Wisconsin’s sand mining wars. Providing on-the-ground accounts from both the mining industry and the concerned citizens who fought back, Thomas W. Pearson blends social theory, ethnography, stirring journalism, and his own passionate point of view to offer an essential chapter of Wisconsin’s history and an important episode in the national environmental movement.
Introduction
Authors: Pearson Thomas W.
Published: September 2018

Provides an overview of frac sand mining, its rapid growth in western Wisconsin, and its role within the wider fracking commodity chain. Also paints a historical backdrop and situates the author as a concerned citizen and an anthropological researcher involved in grassroots efforts to stop a company called Vista Sand
Save Our Hills
Authors: Pearson Thomas W.
Published: September 2018

Recounts the origins and early success of grassroots activism that developed in response to one of the first proposed frac sand operations in the region. Identifies the factors that led to citizens defeating the proposed mine, many of who became involved in the struggle against Vista Sand several years later
Low-Hanging Fruit
Authors: Pearson Thomas W.
Published: September 2018

Traces the early years of the industry as it followed the path of least resistance to places more supportive of their interests. Concerned citizens fought back, but often unsuccessfully. Activism evolved from protest to monitoring and led to the founding of the Save the Hills Alliance
Dangers Unseen

Published: September 2018

Explores the relationship between the perception of new environmental hazards introduced by frac sand mining and competing visions of place and rural landscape. Varied and sometimes contradictory underlying meanings inform local activism
Where You Live
Authors: Pearson Thomas W.

Documents how people experience mining-related changes and conflicts, drawing on ethnographic interviews with residents living next to mines, processing plants, and hauling routes. People grappling with a sudden influx of mining activity suffer significant disruptions that erode their sense of place and belonging
Ecology without Culture
Authors: Marran Christine L.
Published: September 2018

In Ecology without Culture, Christine L. Marran introduces biotropes—material and semiotic figures that exist for human perception—to navigate how and why the material world has proven to be an effective medium for representing culture. A bold and timely reconsideration of ecocriticism, this book insists on decentering questions of culture to highlight the materiality of poetry, film, and prose fiction.
Obligate Storytelling
Authors: Marran Christine L.
Published: September 2018

This chapter identifies a mode of storytelling that foregrounds material relations among beings as fundamental to narrative and calls this form of expression “obligate storytelling.” Obligate storytelling produces a deep sense of relation among diverse subjects and addresses the conditions of existence for beings and matter in an aesthetic ontology that refuses humanist writing traditions, eschews authorial flourish, and rejects institutionally privileged language.
Res Nullius
Authors: Marran Christine L.
Published: September 2018

This chapter introduces the concept of a “domestic turn” in ecocritical poetry and fiction that consciously demands that biotropes refuse the rural and urban dialectic. Representation under what I call this “domestic turn” in ecocritical writing in the production of biotropes conveys a deep sense of vulnerability of humans, plants and animals to contamination that goes beyond the familiar rural/urban dialectic.
Literature without Us
Authors: Marran Christine L.
Published: September 2018

Chapter Five returns to the question of cultural identity and cultural humanism as a problem for ecocriticism and ecopolitics. In addressing the scale of the planetary, this chapter shows that ecopolitics at the planetary scale is both useful and problematic in critiquing cultural essentialism and cultural humanism. Taking up Timothy Clark’s concept of the “hypothetical scale,” I suggest different modes of reading ecocritical works, and show how ethnic nationalist and cultural humanist approaches to literature in area studies can interrupt ecopolitical thinking.

All Americans
Authors: Hamraie Aimi
Published: September 2018

Chapter 3 studies the rise of barrier-free design, or disability access, in the mid-twentieth century U.S., focusing on how this approach emerged through U.S. cultures of whiteness, gender normativity, and rehabilitation.
Conclusion
Authors: Hamraie Aimi
Published: September 2018

The contemporary maker movement seeks to democratize the means of technological production, but often promotes a very narrow view of who counts as a maker. My book traces maker practices in marginalized communities of disabled people from the mid-twentieth century to the present and shows that people without formal access to science and technology education were not only inventing important technologies but also building a social movement around these practices. Hamraie concludes that the contemporary disability rights movement is a result of these earlier maker movements.

C. Riley Snorton identifies multiple intersections between blackness and transness from the mid-nineteenth century to present-day anti-black and anti-trans legislation and violence.
Anatomically Speaking
Authors: Snorton C. Riley
Published: September 2018

Chapter 1 considers the founding of American gynecology and the archives of J. Marion Sims. Sims’s three and one-half years of experiments on female captives--Anarcha, Betsey, Lucy and several unnamed others--precipitates a view of sex as an effect of flesh and gender as a discourse indebted to racial slavery’s political and visual economy.
Reading the “Trans-” in Transatlantic Literature
Authors: Snorton C. Riley
Published: September 2018

Chapter 3 takes up the trans/gender implications of The Three Negro Classics, which is a compilation of Booker T. Washington’s Up from Slavery, W.E.B. Du Bois’ The Souls of Black Folk, and James Weldon Johnson’s Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man.
A Nightmarish Silhouette
Authors: Snorton C. Riley
Published: September 2018

Chapter 4 situates the ascendance of Christine Jorgensen, dubbed America’s first transsexual celebrity, alongside myriad projects of U.S. imperial conquest and various forms of violent racist suppression at home. Focusing on the media narratives of Lucy Hicks Anderson, Georgia Black, Carlett Brown, James McHarris/Annie Lee Grant, and Ava Betty Brown that emerged in the black press, this chapter offers other ways to narrate trans embodiment in the postwar, early Cold War period.
A House of Prayer for All People
Authors: Seitz David K.
Published: September 2018

David K. Seitz maps the affective dimensions of the politics of citizenship at one large LGBT church, focusing on debates on race and gender in religious leadership, activism around police–minority relations, outreach to LGBT Christians transnationally, and advocacy for asylum seekers. Through cultural geography, queer of color critique, psychoanalysis, and affect theory, he stages reparative encounters with citizenship and religion.
Too Diverse?
Authors: Seitz David K.
Published: September 2018

Chapter One traces debates on race and gender church leadership, asking why racialized and radicalized leaders stay involved despite racist microaggressions and celebration of police. I argue that people affectively apprehend the church’s potential to be and do more, and use their ministries to serve more radical, capacious ethico-political goals.
From Identity to Precarity
Authors: Seitz David K.
Published: September 2018

Chapter Four engages with the everyday geographies of asylum-seekers who participate in the church refugee program. I argue that the imperative to “prove” LGBTQ identity renders asylum-seekers precarious queers, regardless of “true” identity. Thus the church’s approach to the program, which prioritizes vulnerability over identity, proffers a radical intervention.
Loving an Unfinished World
Authors: Seitz David K.
Published: September 2018

The Conclusion reflects on the stakes of critiquing liberal politics/religion when the resurgence of cultural nationalism tempts some to embrace liberalism as a last best hope. I insist that learning from the critical and reparative practices of those who live the contradictions of liberalism most intimately proffers radical, capacious alternatives.

Coming to the defence of the Nechako River, Cheslatta and settler-descended people were brought into the “cacophonies” of place-based activism and projects, which is explored using the grounded metaphor of walking--two different peoples “walking with” one another on pathways of coexistence.
Reciprocal Guardianship
Authors: Larsen Soren C. , Johnson Jay T. , Wildcat Daniel R.
Published: September 2018

Activism in defence of the Wakarusa Wetlands fostered educational relationships with place that ultimately grew into a sacred relationship we describe as a “reciprocal guardianship” among humans, nonhumans, and place.
Treaty Partnership
Authors: Larsen Soren C. , Johnson Jay T. , Wildcat Daniel R.
Published: September 2018

The Waitangi Treaty Grounds in Aotearoa/New Zealand brought various Māori and Pākehā (settler-descended) groups together in dialogue, debate, and eventually into renewed treaty partnership. Like the ceremonial karanga call that initiates dialogue between groups at the start of a pōwhiri, the call of place illustrates how the political relationship between peoples, hosts and guests, comes through place.
Manaakitanga
Authors: Larsen Soren C. , Johnson Jay T. , Wildcat Daniel R.
Published: September 2018

This Māori word, manaakitanga, is commonly translated as hospitality, or showing care and respect for others. The provision of manaakitanga to the nation at the Waitangi Treaty Grounds is shifting the terms of political engagement between Māori and Pākehā, revealing the hospitality of place in the “epistemic friction” of these engagements.
Conclusion
Authors: Larsen Soren C. , Johnson Jay T. , Wildcat Daniel R.
Published: September 2018

Being-together-in-place is our more-than-human coexistence in the pluriverse, a world of many worlds where place has a “first-born” agency that is simultaneously cosmogonic, educational, and political.
Preface
Authors: Soussloff Catherine M.
Published: September 2018

This transformation of one’s self by one’s own knowledge is, I think, something rather close to the aesthetic experience. Why should a painter work if he is not transformed by his own painting?

MICHEL FOUCAULT, “An Ethics of Pleasure,” in Foucault Live (Interviews, 1961–1984)

In 1982 when Michel Foucault (1926–1984) spoke to an interviewer about the transformative effects of his writing on his being or existence, he compared himself to a painter. As Foucault well knew, the transformation of the self through one’s creation had a history in art theory that extended as far back as the late 1400s in Italy....
The Place of Painting
Authors: Soussloff Catherine M.
Published: September 2018

The specific aspects of the painting of 1656 by Diego Velázquez that relate to Foucault’s interpretation of it as knowledge (savoir) itself, a point he subsequently made about painting in general in The Archaeology of Knowledge.
The Limits of Irony
Authors: Soussloff Catherine M.
Published: September 2018

In his study of Manet, Foucault sought to understand and to explain: what about Manet’s paintings as paintings had so radically altered the history of art? Foucault explained with exactitude how painting about painting itself might be constituted by and revealed in the painting object and he invented a unique terminology to describe this process philosophically.
The Negativity of Painting
Authors: Soussloff Catherine M.
Published: September 2018

In his writing on the Surrealist Magritte, Foucault explored the impact of avant-garde “word and image paintings” in the history of twentieth century painting. He proposed that the circulating similitudes initiated by and proposed in The Treachery of Images (1928) were fulfilled in contemporary series painting, such as the Campbell’s soup cans by the Pop artist Andy Warhol.
Painting in the Light of Photography
Authors: Soussloff Catherine M.
Published: September 2018

For Foucault, the contemporary French painter Gerard Fromanger’s figurative oil paintings based on slide projections told the story of the present using a contemporary technology that produced an urgent moral message.
Conclusion
Authors: Soussloff Catherine M.
Published: September 2018

Using a comparative approach grounded in art history and aesthetics, this book simultaneously explores the meaning of painting for Foucault’s philosophy and for contemporary art theory, proposing the relevance of painting for ethics and art media today.
Waves and Wires
Authors: Mattern Shannon
Published: September 2018

“Waves and Wires: Cities of Electric Sound,” describes how, since the mid-19th century, our urban atmospheres have been charged with electric and electromagnetic telecommunications: telegraph and telephone wires and radio waves. I explain how these technologies have shaped, and continue to shape, urban form, and make themselves heard in the urban environment.
Steel and Ink

Beyond Authority
Authors: Sanders Joe Sutliff

Chapter one explains that the standard definition of nonfiction is that it is a literature of answers, but this chapter argues that the genre and the children for whom it is written are better served if we think of it as a literature of questions.
Nonfiction’s Unfinished Characters
Authors: Sanders Joe Sutliff
Published: September 2018

Chapter three examines places where nonfiction points to the flaws in its characters, the times they have made mistakes, failed, or simply looked foolish. In these instances, as well as moments in which the characters of nonfiction are shown in the process of testing or even finishing one line of inquiry only to find new questions that remain unanswered, the genre demonstrates an ability to convey information while simultaneously making room for critical engagement with the people who produce knowledge

Authors: Sanders Joe Sutliff
Published: September 2018

Chapter six applies the observations of the previous chapters to a case study of Almost Astronauts (2009), which won the American Library Association’s highest award for nonfiction in 2010.

Wrong Life
Authors: Rhodes John David
