{"title":"Light, Metabolisms, Elemental Media: Theorising Human Mediality in the Anthropocene","authors":"Lukáš Likavčan","doi":"10.1080/01973762.2023.2253099","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/01973762.2023.2253099","url":null,"abstract":"AbstractThis paper applies concepts of elemental media and metabolisms to the case of cosmic and planetary ecologies that emerge from the interaction between Earth and Sun, manifesting in photosynthesis or carbon isotope chemistry. In doing so, it expands on registers of media theory and environmental studies and prompts the reader to consider the medial and archival affordances of the light-based interactions, and further processes they give rise to. The main aim of the paper is to use these observations to speculate about the human condition in the Anthropocene, characterised by the experience of human mediality. The paper addresses human mediality mainly in the dimension of affective qualities this condition may prompt, and the resulting narrative model of selfhood – the metabolic self. The paper develops its conceptual contribution in close proximity with several artistic examples, especially Eduardo Navarro’s performance In Collaboration with the Sun (2017–2019). The paper is positioned as a contribution to studies of multispecies cohabitation and more-than-human communication, while also developing a narrative strategy for talking about the decentred position of human species in the more-than-human world-making.Keywords: Elemental MediaMetabolismNarrative SelfLightSelfhoodPhotosynthesis Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 James F.

{"title":"Visibilizing Queer Futures Past: Ekphrasis and LGBTQIA + Representation in the Philippine Archive","authors":"Gregorio R. Caliguia","doi":"10.1080/01973762.2023.2249719","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/01973762.2023.2249719","url":null,"abstract":"AbstractThis article interrogates how both visual culture and queer futurity can be made visible in and through the Philippine archive as a case in point. It begins by problematizing a paradoxical specter of futurity that seems to haunt more the Global North. But despite such haunting, the Philippines in the Global South continues to have thin to nil (i.e., nearly absent) envisioning toward a queer futurity, for most Filipino LGBTQIA + scholars seem to still be engaged in recovering “lost histories” from the archives and “thick descriptions” of the present, while focusing more on the textual than the visual. The article then proceeds to discuss mobilizing ekphrasis and representation as main conceptual tools in bridging the temporally opposite projects of queer archiving and queer futurity. It analyzes through ekphrastic re-reading the various LGBTQIA + representations from the Philippine archive – that is, a “palimpsestic site” of colonial confrontations, national (re)construction, and potentially global queer critique. These re-readings along the archival grain juxtapose the archival representations as historically authentic vis-à-vis their more present-day representations as visual proxies. Yet more crucially, the potency of these ekphrastic re-readings – in lieu of visually actual – lies in their capacity to reverberate queer possibilities, re-awakening them from their sleep within the archives, and thus re-mobilizing them toward becoming a useful part of academics, activists, and artists’ “shared arsenal” in re-envisioning and, hopefully in time, reifying such past possibilities into future queer actualities anew.Keywords: EkphrasisRepresentationQueer FuturityMultimediaGlobal SouthLGBTQIA + Historiography AcknowledgementsMy sincerest gratitude to the two anonymous reviewers for their insightful comments on the earlier version of this paper. I also thank my colleagues and friends: to Jesus “Led” Villafuerte (PUP’s Center for Creative Writing/Ateneo de Manila University’s School of Humanities) for introducing me to and thereby correcting some of my articulations concerning the theoretical conversations on futurity; to Rancho Arcilla (Intramuros Administration) and Jeremiah So Adriano (De La Salle-College of St. Benilde) for inviting me as a resource speaker on LGBTQIA + history before their respective institutions, through which I formulated my earlier ideas for this paper; and to Gregg Alfonso G.

Communal canteens were one of the most important measures for realizing communism in China. To free female labor for use in the workforce, reduce cooking staff numbers, prepare large numbers of dishes, and provide free meals on time at communal canteens, the central and local governments of the People’s Republic of China promoted the mechanization and semi-mechanization of communal canteens. One of the most important innovations was the reformation of cooking utensils, and the introduction of machines to handle and cook ingredients, including vegetable cutting machines. Based on three types of historical material, this article looks at the historical background of vegetable cutting machine construction and use, and analyzes their use in communal canteens in China. The article finds that the mechanization of communal canteens was in fact merely sloganeering and did not contribute to technological reform in contemporary China.","PeriodicalId":41894,"journal":{"name":"Visual Resources","volume":"37 1","pages":"200 - 222"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47606240","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}

However, either this fact is downplayed because it seems to taint the image of radical subversion on which the prestige of these spaces is based; or it is criticized as one of the main causes of the institutionalization of the alternative scene, or even as a pernicious way to co-opt and neutralize it. In this article, I examine in more detail the programs set up to support alternative spaces by the National Endowment for the Arts and the New York State Council on the Arts. I also study the interesting case of Artists Space, an alternative space that was directly founded by the second of these two government agencies. I show that this public support, far from having betrayed the original spirit of alternative spaces, has been from their beginnings a necessary condition for their development. This implies revising or, at least, qualifying the common narratives of an institutionalization or a co-option of the alternative spaces by the “art establishment.” However, this unexpected assistance from the state, traditionally rather hostile to experimental art, did result in eroding the critical and antagonistic dimension of the alternative (or avant-garde) art scene – but not in the way it is usually portrayed.","PeriodicalId":41894,"journal":{"name":"Visual Resources","volume":"37 1","pages":"174 - 199"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42953301","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}
