Extensively illustrated with a wide range of images both original and found, this book attempts to tackle the beautiful, horny, horrible vulnerability of looking and being perceived.

Paperback. Condición: New. In an era of climate catastrophe and corporate agribusiness, meat has been decisively made over. Urbanites across the West are called upon to look at the animals we eat, and by looking, learn to treat them with love. We are asked to tenderise our carnal desire for flesh and dignify our relationship wit…h the land. Yet can our appetite for meat be redeemed by this new way of seeing? Can an 'ethical' approach to the farming, sale, and consumption of meat really save both the planet and our souls?Revisiting John Berger's writings on animals and class, Meat Love restores a materialist lens to the politics of carnivorous desire. In this vital essay, Amber Husain deconstructs the beauty, tragedy, and mystery with which our images of meat are embellished, drawing on a range of visual sources from contemporary art and film to Instagram and advertising. Probing the nature of 'love' in contemporary human-animal relations, it casts a critical eye on the visual culture of meat as it gentrifies and mutates, informing, for better or for worse, who we become as political subjects.

Paperback. Condición: New. Writers and thinkers from Lauren Berlant to Jeff Chang explore the power structures, the "neutrality" and the frailty of whitenessCofounded in 2017 by authors Claudia Rankine and Beth Loffreda, the Racial Imaginary Institute (TRII) is an interdisciplinary collective of artists, writers, knowledge-produ…cers and activists. The institute's historic 2018 symposium "On Whiteness" convened a dazzling array of thinkers, artists and activists. The essays that resulted from the event, collected here, seek to examine whiteness as a source of often unquestioned or even unobserved power, and make visible variations of this dangerous ideology that has been intentionally positioned as neutral.In our current moment, whiteness is freshly articulated: as a source of unquestioned power, and as a "bloc," it feels itself endangered even as it retains its hold on power. Given that the concept of racial hierarchy is a strategy employed to support white dominance, whiteness is an important aspect of any conversation about race.The essays in On Whiteness make visible what has been intentionally presented as inevitable to help the move forward into more revelatory conversations about race. They question what can be made when we investigate, evade, beset and call out "bloc whiteness."Contributors include: Linda Alcoff Mart n, Lauren Berlant, Sadhana Bery, Daniel Borzutzky, Jane Caflisch, Jeff Chang, Aruna D'Souza, Lori Gruen, Saidiya Hartman, Nell Painter and Doreen St F lix.

Paperback. Condición: New. On the outbreak of the war in Gaza in October 2023, Melani McAlister began to use her journal to track the rapid development of the conflict and the parallel evolution in the ways it was represented in the US media. Drawing on McAlister's decades of experience as a scholar of US-Middle East relations,…as well as her personal history in activism, this incisive and dynamic text traces the devastating development of the current war in real time, identifying echoes with previous moments in the history of the region and the protests and artistic responses they prompted. This series of meditations explores the enduring power of narrative and memory, threading throughout the work of Arab and Arab American poets and musicians to tell a story of Palestinian resistance and resilience. Encompassing the earliest political promises, made and broken, that laid the ground for the Israel-Palestine conflict, subsequent wars and attempts at peace, through to the flashpoint campus protests of 2024, this text serves as a primer to the history of the region and its unique place in global consciousness. Promises, Then the Storm is a reflection on the significance of Palestinian liberation at a moment when it has never been more urgently at stake - one that reckons with possibilities for justice and equality and the hopes carried by activists and artists, against all odds, into the future.

Paperback. Condición: New. Against Ageism: A Queer Manifesto starts with what it is not: a socio-economic argument against ageism, celebrating the 'elderly' as economically viable. Instead, Simon(e) van Saarloos presents a radical critique of conventional arguments against ageism, rejecting constructs of 'age' and 'youth' and as…sumptions of their inherent qualities. Drawing from personal experience, the manifesto offers a reckoning with how ageism overlaps with structures of white supremacy and patriarchy. Through the lens of crip and queer theory, as well as anti-carceral and anti-colonial perspectives on time, this piercing text provocatively calls for the abolition of age-related laws, reframing commonly held understandings about age from van Saarloos's defiant perspective.

Hardback. Condición: New. In 2009, the artist Anna Ostoya created a booklet with textual collages using an essay by the political theorist Chantal Mouffe, 'Politics and Passions: The Stakes of Democracy' (2002). In the essay, Mouffe critiqued the then-dominant 'beyond left and right' politics of neoliberalism and warned of its d…angers - the rise of right-wing populist parties. Fascinated by Mouffe's strikingly prophetic ideas, as well as her bold call to fight the status quo in order to radicalise democracy and to prevent violence, Ostoya returned to the booklet in 2019. She composed for it a series of portraits based on sketches of people on the New York City subway and on reproductions of her paintings and collages from the preceding decade. She also conducted a conversation with Mouffe about the politics of the last forty years, about the contemporary moment and about art, which is included in this publication.

Paperback. Condición: New. Love in a Time of Allegory asks how we can still feel, desire, and imagine in an age of relentless realism. Moving between images and text, Nicholas Muellner's illustrated essay turns to allegory as a way of thinking through politics, love, and meaning when private life is inseparable from public crisi…s.Haunted by political and ecological anxiety and by the erosion of shared truths, Muellner argues that realism jeopardises our capacity to imagine the world as anything other than it already is, asking how fiction and metaphor might open other ways of seeing. The book unfolds as a meditation on desire and belief, on how intimacy persists within disillusionment, and how emotion becomes a form of resistance.Drawing on histories of art, literature, and philosophy, Muellner proposes that allegory, like love, keeps open the possibility of connection in a fractured world. Love and allegory resist the flattening of experience, insisting that imagination remains a radical, collaborative act capable of transforming even the most precarious realities into tenderness and hope.

Paperback. Condición: New. The Devouring Eye: Photography and the Mouth is a provocative essay by Swiss photographer and academic Olivier Richon which rethinks the act of looking through the language of appetite, taste, and consumption. Drawn from a series of influential lectures delivered during his twenty-five-year tenure as H…ead of the Photography programme at the Royal College of Art (1997-2022) - a period during which the course shaped an entire generation of photographers - the book presents a meditation on the camera as both eye and mouth: an apparatus that ingests the world in order to produce images. Framed through a psychoanalytic lens, Richon proposes that photography is less a neutral act of observation than a form of visual incorporation. If looking maintains distance, the mouth abolishes it. The camera becomes a devouring organ, where the object is dissolved, digested, and made into an image. The desire to see becomes entangled with the desire to consume. Through this reading, photography is revealed as an insatiable medium - one that satisfies and frustrates our appetite for representation in equal measure. The Devouring Eye invites us to reconsider how we relate to images, and how deeply they live in us.

Paperback. Condición: New. We know that celebrities can make great muses: think of the work of Richard Phillips, who has painted an entire series of works inspired by Lindsay Lohan, Robert Pattinson, and Miley Cyrus, or of Urs Fischer, who recently showed a life-sized candle in the shape of Leonardo DiCaprio. Notoriously, the ar…t collector Peter Brant commissioned the wickedly satirical Italian American artist Maurizio Cattelan to make a sculpture of his wife, the supermodel Stephanie Seymour. The work was technically called Stephanie, but became known in the industry as 'Trophy Wife'. With the sculpture valued at 1.5 million dollars, while Seymour herself is purportedly worth one hundred million dollars, you might be tempted to wonder which has the claim to be the 'better' work of art.In this illustrated essay, critic Philippa Snow asks whether all great, or iconic, celebrities can be considered technically self-authored artworks in and of themselves. Drawing on a wide range of cultural references from the past two decades, she proposes that increasingly - as celebrities' private lives become more visible and thus more art-directed, and especially as plastic surgery becomes de rigueur for even the most minor public figures - celebrity itself can be a medium for contemporary art, a form of mythmaking and image-making that is every bit as complex, conceptual, and compelling as the work of a traditional artist.

Paperback. Condición: New. 'Monogamy is not dismantled by fucking more or by falling in love simultaneously with more people, but by constructing relationships in a different way, relationships that allow us to fuck more and fall in love simultaneously with more people, but without anyone getting broken along the way.'Monogamy h…as played a central role in modernity, shaping our concepts of love, relationships, and family. In Monogamous Mind, Polyamorous Terror, Spanish writer Brigitte Vasallo explores how mechanisms of love are deeply rooted in societal and individual norms, rather than being freely chosen.Originally published in Spanish and now a global bestseller, this groundbreaking text reveals how the notions of state, nation, and identity - founded on codes of exclusivity, possession, and hierarchy - are intertwined with monogamy. Drawing on extensive historical research through the lens of social and affective organisation, Vasallo challenges one of the most entrenched pillars of Western society. She unveils the potential for a radical transformation in our relationships - whether erotic, familial, or communal - pointing towards a new, inclusive approach for a different world.

Paperback. Condición: New. What makes a good listener? There are a number of commonsensical ideas about what constitutes doing it well - patience, tolerance, availability, responsiveness, lack of moral judgement - but is it really so simple? Is it a skill one can easily learn or more of a quirk or talent? And why do some people…seem to be so much better at it than others? Written by a psychoanalyst and a violin maker, 'Uneasy Listening' is a dialogue between two very different kinds of professional listener: the former working with speech, the latter with musical instruments. Beginning as total strangers, Anouchka Grose and Robert Brewer Young embark on an engaging, entertaining, and winding meditation on communication that weaves together wide-ranging references from across psychoanalytic theory, philosophy, contemporary politics and culture. As they discuss the differences, similarities, and resonances between their practices, they run up against some of the illuminating difficulties of dialogue itself. The result is a kind of awkward duet in which two thinkers and practitioners accommodate, interrupt, and perplex each other in an attempt to say something about what listening means.

Paperback. Condición: New. This book, the first by the design and research practice Material Cultures, assembles a series of short essays and conversations exploring the cultures, systems, and infrastructures that shape the architectural industry and the destructive ecologies it fosters. The building practices dominating contemp…orary architecture are rooted in the exploitation of people and the degradation of our landscapes. Here, Paloma Gormley, Summer Islam, and George Massoud explore how this has come about and how alternative systems, with holistic approaches to the built environment, might be formulated.'Material Reform' presents a set of instructive and challenging perspectives drawing directly on the dialogues and tensions Material Cultures encounter in their ongoing work. Texts centred around key concepts including labour, time, maintenance, language, land, and touch are interwoven with a visual essay reckoning with the processes that have transformed industrialized landscapes at different scales of experience and resolution. Through text and visuals, concepts and practice, this book explores how developing a direct relationship with materials can help us find new languages with the potential to supersede those we have inherited from a narrow lineage of authors. These discursive threads come together to form a vital sourcebook for rethinking our relationships to materials, land, and development, in all their crucial intersections.

Paperback. Condición: New. In 1996, a book of photographs by an unknown young British photographer was launched on to the London contemporary art market to immediate popular and critical success. The pictures were taken within the claustrophobic, chaotic interior of a Birmingham council flat where the photographer's father, Ray,… an alcoholic, lived with Liz, his sedentary and occasionally violent mother, and his younger brother Jason.For the public, including cultured, art-loving viewers, the pictures were a shock: more intimate, more personal, more oppressive than the well-meaning photojournalistic study of working-class poverty to which they were accustomed. Some saw them as a betrayal - exposing unsuspecting family members to potential humiliation - but from Richard Billingham's point of view they made moral judgements and had no social or political purpose. He had taken them as reference images for his painting, and their lives as artworks were as much a result of the interventions of other editors and gallerists as of Billingham's own intentions.This reader traces the history of a body of work which remains as vital and provocative as on its first release, and whose story tells us much about the workings of art, publishing, and the politics of dissemination. Editor Liz Jobey charts the history in a new essay drawing on interviews with Billingham and all the primary protagonists of the work's emergence, including Michael Collins, Julian Germain, and Paul Graham. This is followed by an extensive selection of conversations and essays from 1996 to the present day, by writers including Charlotte Cotton, Gordon Burn, Lynn Barber, and Jim Lewis.

Paperback. Condición: New. After arriving in New York in 1938, Austrian photographer Lisette Model quickly found stunning early success. Her photographs graced the pages of renowned magazines and were exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art. Their frank portrayals of ordinary Americans, captured in bars and restaurants, on the bea…ch and in the streets, revolutionised the world of photography. Yet by 1950, Model had all but ceased to circulate her images, devoting herself instead to teaching a new generation of photographers, including Diane Arbus and Rosalind Fox Solomon. She gained the reputation, scandalous in business-like New York, of being 'difficult'. In this illustrated essay, Duncan Forbes offers a new interpretation of Model's photography and biography, asking whether the artist's rebelliousness is not in fact the key to understanding her remarkable life and work.

Paperback. Condición: New. Sally Stein reconsiders Dorothea Lange's iconic portrait of maternity and modern emblem of family values in light of Lange's long-overlooked 'Padonna' pictures and proposes that 'Migrant Mother' should in fact be seen as a disruptive image of women's conflictual relation to home, and the world. Stein i…s an American academic and cultural theorist living in Los Angeles. The interrelated topics she most often engages concern the multiple effects of documentary imagery, the politics of gender, and the status and meaning of black and white and color imagery on our perceptions, beliefs, even actions as consumers and citizens. Dr. Stein, Professor Emerita, UC Irvine, is an independent scholar based in Los Angeles who continues to research and write about 20thcentury photography in the U.S. and its relation to broader questions of culture and society. She has written about New Deal FSA photographers-particularly Dorothea Lange, Marion Post Wolcott, Jack Delano-as well as the contested image of FDR. Her numerous essays about popular mass media - Ladies Home Journal, Life and Look - extend her ongoing study of the various aspects of the rise of color photography. The interrelated topics she most often engages concern the multiple effects of documentary imagery, the politics of gender, and the status and meaning of black and white and color imagery on our perceptions, beliefs, even actions as consumers and citizens.

Paperback. Condición: New. Victor Burgin is one of the most influential artists and writers working today. He came to prominence as a key ?gure in the Conceptual Art of the late 1960s. After turning to photography in his artistic practice he produced a series of groundbreaking theoretical essays that drew on semiotics, psychoana…lysis and feminism in order to think through the ideological role of photographs in the production of beliefs and values, and in the understanding of memory, history, subjectivity and space.In the last decade or so, Burgin has worked with computer-generated imagery and the virtual camera. But rather than accepting a radical divide between so-called 'analogue' and 'digital' realms, Burgin has emphasised the continuity of the virtual camera, the various physical cameras in use today, and the painted images of Quattrocento painting - all of which have their essence in the perspectival system of representation. Further to this, Burgin argues that no image is merely an optical experience - all images are essentially psychological events and thus virtual also. Inseparable from language, they form the psychical spaces of fantasy and projection, recognition and misrecognition. Whether on pages, walls or screens, in galleries or online, single views, or swarms of picture fragments, images are the making and unmaking of our sense of self, and the world around us.This collection brings together for the ?rst time Victor Burgin's writings related speci?cally to the camera, following the shifts and nuances in his thinking over nearly ?ve decades. Moreover, it allows us to chart the evolution of what the camera was and is, and how its affects are to be understood.

Paperback. Condición: New. The Complete Essays 1973-1991 is a long-awaited collection of short, allusive texts on the curiosities of photography written by the great Italian artist, Luigi Ghirri. Ghirri's writings spiral outwards from his practice, intuitively exploring the subjects at the core of his images - the themes of iden…tity, time, memory, vision, representation, and sense of place. With a taste for the eclectic, he interweaves references as varied as Prince, Dylan, Hendrix, McLuhan, Mallarme, Gulliver, Eggleston, Evans, neo-realist film, Cezanne and Pessoa. Together, the essays offer a unique and comprehensive treatise on the history and theory of photography. Above all, they constitute a special form of autobiography for someone whose ironic wit and gentle style has trickled down to so much of contemporary photography.Luigi Ghirri (1943-1992) started writing about photography from the moment he became a photographer: for his own publications, for Italian magazines and newspapers, as well as private reflections committed to paper, where his thoughts would settle and then often depart in new directions. Born in Scandiano in 1943, Luigi Ghirri spent his working life in the Emilia Romagna region, where he produced one of the most open and layered bodies of work in the history of photography. He was published and exhibited extensively both in Italy and internationally and was at the height of his career at the time of his death in 1992. His first book, Kodachrome (1978), an avant-garde manifesto for the medium of photography and a landmark in his own remarkable oeuvre, was re-published by MACK in 2012.

Hardback. Condición: New. For over a decade, artist and theorist Kwan Queenie Li has been photographing weeds across the world. From Jerusalem to Shanghai, Varanasi to Athens, Cairo to Mexico City, she has trained her attention on these unintended but ubiquitous inhabitants of the contemporary urban sphere, finding them dwelling… in corners and cracks, in spaces suspended between uses, in ruins and on construction sites. This essay in image and text proposes a new view of cities that learns from the weed's point of view, dissolving familiar categories and temporalities to see cities as evolving and often undefined spaces, replete with opportunity. Weeds organically defy phenomena that are taken for granted as immovable: walls, borders, history, and prescribed identities. They are registers of the real lives of cities - of disuse and neglect, but also freedom and porousness. Out-of-place by definition, they offer a new perspective on the idea of 'place' itself, and the ways it shapes and is shaped by its inhabitants.

Paperback. Condición: New. In Fugitive Tilts, Ishion Hutchinson, author of House of Lords and Commons (for which he won the National Book Critics Circle Award in Poetry), turns to prose to create an incomplete biography of love: love of poetry, discovered in childhood; love of home, with its continual disconnections and returns;… and love of the works and artists that look over him with 'an angel's aura', from Treasure Island to John Coltrane.Gathering essays that range across time, place, and form, Hutchinson builds, piece by piece, a space from which the suffering of the past and the present can be reckoned with and survived. Through these texts, he pays homage to the inheritances and influences that are part of his history and to Derek Walcott in particular, whose legacy threads through the book. Above all, Fugitive Tilts is a book suffused with the sea: its sound, its geography, and, as Hutchinson writes, its 'memory in motion'.

Paperback. Condición: New. This intimate, conversational reader transports us to the enchanted world of Alessandra Sanguinetti's photographic series The Adventures of Guille and Belinda, exploring the evolution of this celebrated work and the themes and questions it raises. Made in the countryside of Buenos Aires Province, Sangu…inetti's series follows the lives of two cousins as they come of age alongside the realities of rural life. From a young age, Guille and Belinda have been Sanguinetti's collaborators, co-conspirators, and playmates, evoking the unique worlds suspended between dreams and reality that define childhood, adolescence, and eventually adulthood. Here, they reflect with Sanguinetti on the work's making and their changing relationship to it over time in an extended conversation illustrated with previously unseen images from across the years. This discussion is complemented by a conversation between Sanguinetti and curators Clément Chéroux and Pierre Leyrat, unpacking the ways this work engages with and disrupts conversations around documentary photography, artistic collaboration, and the depiction of the lives of girls and women the world over.This reader coincides with a solo exhibition of Alessandra Sanguinetti's work at Fondation Henri Cartier-Bresson, Paris, opening 30 January 2024.

Hardback. Condición: New. In Terra Infecta, Andrea Bagnato tells an unfamiliar history about a well-known place. Since the early days of tourism, the cities and landscapes of Italy have been bywords for beauty and grandeur. But, at home and abroad, the same places have also been haunted by associations with recurring epidemics a…nd unhealthy ways of life, often more to do with politics than conditions on the ground. In this gripping narrative study, Bagnato shows how the modern quest for sanitation shaped Italy's urban and rural landscapes, propelling major transformations from the draining of the wetlands around Venice, to demolitions and replanning in Naples, to the expulsion of the inhabitants of ancient Matera. He argues that current north-south inequalities are founded on spurious medical narratives, and focuses on the real impact on the people caught in their ministrations. Ranging from Italian unification to the aftershocks of Covid-19, and drawing on architectural records, medical history, and the author's own travels, this vivid book reveals the lived realities of grand schemes, traces of vanished communities, and forgotten histories of collective organisation and resistance.

Paperback. Condición: New. Part dialogue, part diagnosis, Transitions turns to the humanities to understand how we arrived at our present moment and what might carry us forward.The legacies of Britain's colonial past continue to shape the cultural landscape. The advent of AI has unsettled what it means to be human in the face of… ruthless profiteering. In the aftermath of Thatcherism, ordinary people are surrounded by images of vast material wealth while having access to less and less - whether that be housing, public services, or cultural institutions.In Transitions: On Culture, Crisis, and the Human, writers and friends Jay Bernard and Sita Balani consider these questions, taking the UK as a microcosm of the world. Guided by Stuart Hall's notion of 'conjuncture', they draw on literature, social theory, and lived experience to offer an urgent account of our fractured present. From the personal and local through to the global, their dialogue is inflected by a commitment to the humanities, narrative, and universal horizons, in a political culture determined to devalue them.
