It was, of course, closely connected to his legacy as Marxist revealer of apparatuses and demystifier of ideological aesthetic forms. Brecht prefaces his short piece ‘On Restoring the Truth’ (2017: 137), where this method is developed, with a warning and a call. In dark times where falsities are uttered and believed, ‘where deception and errors are encouraged’, a thinker is summoned to replace what he [sic] hears and reads, sentence by sentence, with the true version of those same sentences until he cannot but be in line with the truth. Such a critical counter-reading entails setting up selected phrases – in this instance, speeches by Goering and Hess that embody the language games used by the Nazi establishment to naturalize its claims and extermination techniques – in two aligned columns with a parallel, corrective column reading ‘restoration of the truth’. Because ‘context often gives sentences an illusion of correctness’, the process of deduction from phrase to phrase can be correct, but the sentences themselves are incorrect. Brecht therefore refines a montage predicated on picking out, filtering and placing correct sentences next to deceptions and manipulations (p. 137). By inverting the method of montaged lies used by the Nazis, the thinker learns to read the truth. Crucially, for Brecht, ‘the thinker does not act like this simply in order to establish that deception and errors are being perpetrated’; rather, it is a labour ‘to master the nature of the deception and of the errors’ (p. 137). Truth and knowledge are not identical.","PeriodicalId":45373,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Visual Culture","volume":"21 1","pages":"238 - 246"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44820192","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It argues that this project is reparative by way of bringing Andean genders and sexualities back into history as a form of anti-colonial and queer politics. This research uses Andean modes of analysis to describe the Travesti Museum as a trans-temporal archive and practice of travestismo in both its form and content. In this text, travesti performance is defined as a mnemonic strategy while situating the Travesti Museum within the contexts of Andean performance repertoires, discussions of class and race, as well as within the history of colonial refusal – arguing that Campuzano’s methods interrupt Western assumptions about the archive. It brings together the ideas of Campuzano and Bolivian sociologist Silvia Rivera Cusicanqui in an effort to highlight critical concepts from the Andes that are informed though embodied methods of thinking through history and resistance, resulting in a reading of radical Andean intimacy. The article concludes that the Travesti Museum can be used to analyze how the body relates to ideas of history, and as a tool to learn how we could write history starting with an embodiment of collective memory.","PeriodicalId":45373,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Visual Culture","volume":"21 1","pages":"206 - 232"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45814849","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The author contends that the sea link, launched in 2019 as a way to connect the southern part of the city with its western suburbs, participates in aerial visual significations in which views from above partake in framing of the urban metropolis as an essential aspect of the nation-state’s global modernity aspirations. By analyzing the recurrence of the sea link through a variety of visual illustrations, he suggests that views of the sea link through omniscient perspectives tether urban experiments of modernity to forms of aspirational city planning that are deemed both axiomatic and necessary for urban dreams of development. He contends that ‘reparative’ work in visual culture assumes a task beyond the exposure of ‘unequal scenes’ if it is to grapple with the material contexts of urban repair and redistribution of resources. Rather than views from above or looking from below, the article theorizes a notion of reparation through the ontology of the edge – one that offers speculations of hope beyond the neoliberal logics of infrastructural futurity.","PeriodicalId":45373,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Visual Culture","volume":"21 1","pages":"36 - 55"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48019860","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through her engagement with different addressees (her ancestors and children, scholars, political theorists and law-makers active in Algeria, France, and Palestine) and reflecting on the history of her paternal family life in Algeria, she questions the seemingly irreversible nature of the process through which, in less than a century, an offspring of an indigenous Algerian Jew could no longer find it possible to say ‘I’m Algerian.’ Her assumption is that the French colonization of Algeria in 1830, and forcing the Jews who lived there to become French citizens in 1870, marked the destruction of their world. Is this process reversible? What would such a reversal require? More than just a personal reckoning, family history, or an implied return, this inquiry interrogates the structures of colonial dispossession, charting processes of world-loss and asking what kind of repair – that is increasingly called ‘decolonization’ – is possible. Beyond the physical and emotional world loss of the Arab–Berber–Jews of North Africa, this series of letters prompted her inquiry into the role of both the colonizing powers in North Africa and the colonial (Israel) and post-colonial (France) nation-states and into how citizenship operates in preparing groups of people to detach themselves from objects to which they are attached and in which they are invested, and to be ready for migration and assimilation in a foreign, supposedly superior, culture and emancipation project.","PeriodicalId":45373,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Visual Culture","volume":"21 1","pages":"17 - 35"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44395412","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

McLuhan is widely known across a range of academic and mainstream spheres for his eclectic, influential and prescient texts, but has often been reduced to the oft-cited mantras and hollowed-out phrases that disseminated his thought – ‘the medium is the message’, ‘the global village’, and so forth. This is the central argument made by Alex Kitnick in his comprehensive study Distant Early Warning: Marshall McLuhan and the Transformation of the Avant-Garde, which seeks to approach these expressions, as well as McLuhan’s contributions to various discourses, from a different perspective. Kitnick maintains that he was as much a theorist of art as he was a media theorist, and that, through McLuhan’s lens, both theoretical fields are integral and complementary to one another, offering important insights into the role of the artist as researcher who deploys art as a means of cultural exploration and environmental change. Parsing the relationship between McLuhan and the arts of his time, Kitnick positions him in a symbiotic feedback loop in which the critic/artist work in steadfast collaboration: borrowing and blending style and form from each other, yielding consistently revised, hybridized, cutting-edge creative results.","PeriodicalId":45373,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Visual Culture","volume":"21 1","pages":"247 - 251"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46461912","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
