This book was released on 2014-05-15 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A la hora de abordar un objeto de estudio tan escurridizo y polisémico como la imagen audiovisual que, en el mejor de los casos, se presta a las más diversas y dispares interpretaciones, argumentadas desde los no menos heterogéneos y plurales puntos de vista, podemos plantearnos –no sin perplejidad– cuál de todos los enfoques y análisis posibles es el más certero. Lo más probable es que no encontremos una única respuesta convincente para esta pregunta, sino varias al mismo tiempo. Probablemente todas ellas sean igualmente válidas dependiendo del encuadre hermenéutico que hayamos adoptado. Por eso, al encontramos ante una encrucijada irresoluble de caminos epistemológicos, podemos sospechar que la pregunta de partida haya estado mal planteada desde su origen. Quizás lo que ocurra es que, en el ámbito de los estudios visuales no haya ángulos de visión (ni metodologías de análisis) que puedan considerarse acertados por contraposición a otros que pudiéramos calificar como errados o inadecuados. En consecuencia, podemos considerar a los productos audiovisuales como un objeto de estudio no solo poliédrico, por la cantidad de facetas y géneros que pueden adoptar dependiendo de quién los produzca (por ejemplo, un informador, un publicitario o un artista visual), sino también polisémico, por la cantidad de significados que una misma imagen o contenido audiovisual puede adoptar dependiendo del contexto histórico, social y cultural en el que se encuadre y en el que se realice su lectura posterior. Validar una única interpretación de cualquier imagen capturada por una cámara –ya sea fija o en movimiento–, despreciando el resto de las posibles lecturas que permite, puede significar mirar al mundo de la representación contemporánea y mediática con anteojeras. La imagen audiovisual se presta a los más diversos y variopintos análisis científicos e historiográficos. Podemos descubrir tantos como finalidades e intereses puedan encontrarse a la hora de valorar y analizar esas imágenes. No en vano, las «imágenes de registro» o «imágenes técnicas», como convendremos en llamarlas a partir de ahora (más propiamente que «audiovisuales»), han servido a más amos de los que a menudo le hubiese gustado a los propios autores que las concibieron. Podemos utilizar este tipo de imágenes para informar, para crear, expresar o comunicar, para persuadir y seducir, para convencer y verificar, para deleitar, para infundir temor o seguridad, para servir como instrumento ideológico, o como arma arrojadiza para exhortar, para evocar o incluso para exorcizar. Es cierto que, de igual manera que la imagen audiovisual puede servir a todo tipo de fines artísticos, publicitarios, informativos, científicos, etnográficos, sociológicos, psicológicos o historiográficos, también su análisis puede ser abordado desde todas esas disciplinas a la que potencialmente sirve. En cualquier caso, la inmensa mayoría de los estudios sobre imagen se han llevado a cabo desde disciplinas que normalmente son ajenas a la propia producción audiovisual, puesto que existe un cierto grado de dificultad para que el análisis de la imagen pueda ser abordado desde el campo específico de conocimiento que la genera, es decir, desde el de la propia tecnología y la «grámatica» audiovisual que la hacen posible. Es cierto que el resto de los ámbitos de conocimiento, reflexión y análisis pueden hablar de ella, aventurando las más insospechadas interpretaciones sobre la misma, arrojando luces de distinto signo y color sin que la propia imagen tenga capacidad alguna para defenderse, para validar o falsar una determinada hipótesis. En definitiva, todo el mundo puede hablar de la imagen audiovisual y de los efectos que produce, pero ella apenas puede argumentar nada sobre sí misma, no puede convertirse en artefacto analítico para dar su propia versión de los hechos que describe, que rememora, que evoca, que construye o que representa. La imagen técnica, es decir, aquella que ha sido generada mediante cualquier artefacto óptico que es capaz de producir un registro fotosensible (ya sea fotográfico, cinematográfico o videográfico), nació hace más de ciento setenta años con la aparición de la cámara fotográfica y el daguerrotipo. Fueron muchos los que aventuraron en este descubrimiento una revolución social y cultural de mayor alcance si cabe que el pistoletazo de salida para entrar en la edad contemporánea que produjo la máquina de vapor (en relación a la Revolución Industrial). Pero, lo que es igualmente cierto es que la transformación en los modos de percibir del observador del siglo XIX ya se había empezado a producir casi con dos siglos de anticipación al descubrimiento de la cámara. Esta metamorfosis en el ojo del espectador se había originado gracias a la aparición de un buen número de artilugios precinematográficos que intentaban restituir la ilusión del movimiento.

Book excerpt: La urbe global se ha convertido en la imagen ecumenopolizada del mundo, no como urbes gigantescas, sino como una red que penetra la totalidad del territorio y acabando con la dicotomía rural-urbano. Tras el paradigma Geddiano de las ciudades-mundo, ahora la gran cuestión es verificar si esa red sin fronteras trascenderá el sistema nervioso de sus habitantes en una dilución consentida y hasta cataléptica que les acerque a la robótica y al final no exista demasiada diferencia entre ambos.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents both an analysis of how identities are built, represented and negotiated in narrative, as well as a theoretical reflection on the links between narrative discourse and identity construction. The data for the book are Mexican immigrants' personal experience narratives and chronicles of their border crossings into the United States. Embracing a view of identity as a construct firmly grounded in discourse and interaction, the author examines and illustrates the multiple threads that connect the local expression and negotiation of identity to the wider social contexts that frame the experience of migration, from material conditions of life in the United States to mainstream discourses about race and color. The analysis reveals how identities emerge in discourse through the interplay of different levels of expression, from implicit adherence to narrative styles and ways of telling, to explicit negotiation of membership categories.

Book excerpt: An inside look at the obsessive, secretive, and often bizarre world of high-profile stamp collecting, told through the journey of the world’s most sought-after stamp. When it was issued in 1856, it cost a penny. In 2014, this tiny square of faded red paper sold at Sotheby’s for nearly $9.5 million, the largest amount ever paid for a postage stamp at auction. Through the stories of the eccentric characters who have bought, owned, and sold the one-cent magenta in the years in between, James Barron delivers a fascinating tale of global history and immense wealth, and of the human desire to collect. One-cent magentas were provisional stamps, printed quickly in what was then British Guiana when a shipment of official stamps from London did not arrive. They were intended for periodicals, and most were thrown out with the newspapers. But one stamp survived. The singular one-cent magenta has had only nine owners since a twelve-year-old boy discovered it in 1873 as he sorted through papers in his uncle’s house. He soon sold it for what would be $17 today. (That’s been called the worst stamp deal in history.) Among later owners was a fabulously wealthy Frenchman who hid the stamp from almost everyone (even King George V of England couldn’t get a peek); a businessman who traveled with the stamp in a briefcase he handcuffed to his wrist; and John E. du Pont, an heir to the chemical fortune, who died while serving a thirty-year sentence for the murder of Olympic wrestler Dave Schultz. Recommended for fans of Nicholas A. Basbanes, Susan Orlean, and Simon Winchester, The One-Cent Magenta explores the intersection of obsessive pursuits and great affluence and asks why we want most what is most rare.

Book excerpt: Hundreds of grassroots groups have sprung up around the world to teach programming, web design, robotics, and other skills outside traditional classrooms. These groups exist so that people don't have to learn these things on their own, but ironically, their founders and instructors are often teaching themselves how to teach. There's a better way. This book presents evidence-based practices that will help you create and deliver lessons that work and build a teaching community around them. Topics include the differences between different kinds of learners, diagnosing and correcting misunderstandings, teaching as a performance art, what motivates and demotivates adult learners, how to be a good ally, fostering a healthy community, getting the word out, and building alliances with like-minded groups. The book includes over a hundred exercises that can be done individually or in groups, over 350 references, and a glossary to help you navigate educational jargon.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the Republic of Slovenia declaring its independence from Yugoslavia in 1991 Slovenia became an honourable member of the world of late capitalism, and in 2004 a member of the European Union. It would take too long to explain in detail why Slovenia became a successful member of the empire of late capitalism, but what can be said of architecture is that several young architects such as Spela Videcnik and Rok Oman of Ofis arhitekti became familiar with the blurring of the distinctions between art, fashion, high and low culture, design and politics, individualisation, and consumption. Not only Ofis, but other young architects oriented themselves to the West and decided early on in their careers to study architecture in post-Fordist countries like Great Britain, the USA, Holland and Finland, thus making the leap from a Communist welfare state into a late-capitalist state -with the help of their international aesthetics- easier and more promising for Slovenia. From that moment on, a new generation of architects paved the way for Slovenia to move into world capitalism. The work by Ofis compiled in this issue of 2G represents a good example of this new generation of architects from Eastern Europe.

Book excerpt: The Archive Effect: Found Footage and the Audiovisual Experience of History examines the problems of representation inherent in the appropriation of archival film and video footage for historical purposes. Baron analyses the way in which the meanings of archival documents are modified when they are placed in new texts and contexts, constructing the viewer’s experience of and relationship to the past they portray. Rethinking the notion of the archival document in terms of its reception and the spectatorial experiences it generates, she explores the ‘archive effect’ as it is produced across the genres of documentary, mockumentary, experimental, and fiction films. This engaging work discusses how, for better or for worse, the archive effect is mobilized to create new histories, alternative histories, and misreadings of history. The book covers a multitude of contemporary cultural artefacts including fiction films like Zelig, Forrest Gump and JFK, mockumentaries such as The Blair Witch Project and Forgotten Silver, documentaries like Standard Operating Procedure and Grizzly Man, and videogames like Call of Duty: World at War. In addition, she examines the works of many experimental filmmakers including those of Péter Forgács, Adele Horne, Bill Morrison, Cheryl Dunye, and Natalie Bookchin.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Projects that bring the ‘hard’ sciences into art are increasingly being exhibited in galleries and museums across the world. In a surge of publications on the subject, few focus on regions beyond Europe and the Anglophone world. Decolonizing Science in Latin American Art assembles a new corpus of art-science projects by Latin American artists, ranging from big-budget collaborations with NASA and MIT to homegrown experiments in artists’ kitchens. While they draw on recent scientific research, these art projects also ‘decolonize’ science. If increasing knowledge of the natural world has often gone hand-in-hand with our objectification and exploitation of it, the artists studied here emphasize the subjectivity and intelligence of other species, staging new forms of collaboration and co-creativity beyond the human. They design technologies that work with organic processes to promote the health of ecosystems, and seek alternatives to the logics of extractivism and monoculture farming that have caused extensive ecological damage in Latin America. They develop do-it-yourself, open-source, commons-based practices for sharing creative and intellectual property. They establish critical dialogues between Western science and indigenous thought, reconnecting a disembedded, abstracted form of knowledge with the cultural, social, spiritual, and ethical spheres of experience from which it has often been excluded. Decolonizing Science in Latin American Art interrogates how artistic practices may communicate, extend, supplement, and challenge scientific ideas. At the same time, it explores broader questions in the field of art, including the relationship between knowledge, care, and curation; nonhuman agency; art and utility; and changing approaches to participation. It also highlights important contributions by Latin American thinkers to themes of global significance, including the Anthropocene, climate change and environmental justice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This intriguing study of Mexico's participation in world's fairs from 1889 to 1929 explores Mexico's self-presentation at these fairs as a reflection of the country's drive toward nationalization and a modernized image. Mauricio Tenorio-Trillo contrasts Mexico's presence at the 1889 Paris fair—where its display was the largest and most expensive Mexico has ever mounted—with Mexico's presence after the 1910 Mexican Revolution at fairs in Rio de Janeiro in 1922 and Seville in 1929. Rather than seeing the revolution as a sharp break, Tenorio-Trillo points to important continuities between the pre- and post-revolution periods. He also discusses how, internationally, the character of world's fairs was radically transformed during this time, from the Eiffel Tower prototype, encapsulating a wondrous symbolic universe, to the Disneyland model of commodified entertainment. Drawing on cultural, intellectual, urban, literary, social, and art histories, Tenorio-Trillo's thorough and imaginative study presents a broad cultural history of Mexico from 1880 to 1930, set within the context of the origins of Western nationalism, cosmopolitanism, and modernism. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1997.
