In the following text, he explores the particular position and history of Liverpool through the prism of its late twentiethand early twenty-first-century artistic imaginaries. Between the memories of the slave trade and a deindustrialization process that engulfed the port’s former economic prosperity, an estranged hinterland and an unbound river, artists in Liverpool constructed an alternate poetic space in the late twentieth century. Biggs sees these as so many paths through which to articulate an alternative relation to the world beyond, and within. In being tuned to alternate frequencies as they rise from the unknown self as much as the familiar outsider, Liverpool maritime poetics suggest a dif ferent mode of envisioning our interconnected presents","PeriodicalId":147164,"journal":{"name":"Maritime Poetics","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128920706","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

His research explores contemporary artistic and cultural negotiations of trans-industrial change. His interests include the development of the art scenes in the former urban industrial bastions in the North of England in the late twentieth century and have brought him into dialogue with artists and contemporary artforms engaging with maritime transformations, as well as the representation of maritime heritage, particularly in Europe. Here he ref lects on the representation of commerce in European maritime museums at the beginning of the twenty-first century. The discussion considers the balance between self and other articulated by European maritime museums, situated at the crossroads of critical debates and the practical legacies of trading histories, as they continue to shape our contemporary global societies.","PeriodicalId":147164,"journal":{"name":"Maritime Poetics","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133550275","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Place is given as much as it is chosen, which has led McFeely to probe how much choice and free will a person has. Though not always foregrounded this questioning of autonomy is an ongoing consideration of his work, whose contexts have been varied and include references to literature, cinema, art history and social and political contexts. This approach to making has led him to create a vocabulary of object-signs, which are questioned and continuously developed. An understanding of ‘place’ is frequently informed by historical events. This relationship is a constant feature in McFeely’s practice and has led to a coalescence of references that he compares to a Venn diagram. This merging of layers can be thought of as a waking dream, a meandering rumination, a recall provoking the idea of the interplay between a hinterland of the imagination and memory, and the grounding ef fect of tangible material presence. This meandering is acted out in Flann O’Brien’s novel The Third Policeman where the journey of the main protagonist drif ts across place and time. His experience is one of managing his own disorientation.","PeriodicalId":147164,"journal":{"name":"Maritime Poetics","volume":"16 7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131696419","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

His research explores the connec tions among Italian neo-avant-gardes, as well as contemporary photographic prac-tices, and the changing conception and role of artistic heritage and landscape in Italy. In the following text, Sergio takes as a starting point a seminal programme of photographic commissioning in Naples in the late twentieth century that launched an enquiry into the changing fabric and image of the iconic Southern Italian port city. From there, the reflection moves into a discussion of the role that aesthetic representations can play in the present, as they engage with mutating coastal and hinterland landscapes, and seascapes. In addition, Sergio presents an exhibition by Claire Tenu, a video by Lorenzo Casali and Micol Roubini, and a work by Domenico Antonio Mancini.","PeriodicalId":147164,"journal":{"name":"Maritime Poetics","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122272381","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Having a studio on an island, which requires a short sea crossing every day, has provided her with an understanding of the intertwined nature of marine life and urban culture. On her way to the studio, the artist can touch the sea, which is one of the reasons her visual art practise is deeply rooted in fieldwork. Water is both the subject matter and the medium of her projects. Engaging and interacting with natural phenomena such as water or wind, enables her to unfurl the aesthetic and material agencies inherent in the forces of nature. Moreover, an intimate connection with the sea allows her to explore environmental threats, such as plastic pollution, from an artist’s perspective. In the following text, Närhinen focuses on a series of projects dealing with plastic waste washed up on shore, and ref lects on the complexity and controversial nature of marine plastic pollution.","PeriodicalId":147164,"journal":{"name":"Maritime Poetics","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128065587","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
