Çaylı","doi":"10.1177/14704129211061178","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/14704129211061178","url":null,"abstract":"Over the past decade, a growing number of scholars in the social sciences and the humanities have come to approach political violence as an environmental phenomenon, and conceptualize environmental injustices as violence (e.g. Barca, 2014; Buell, 2017; Gray and Sheikh, 2018; Lee, 2016; Nixon, 2011; Sharpe, 2016). Concurrently, material (including visual) cultural practitioners and theorists grappling with violence have mobilized the testimony of environments (e.g. flora, fauna, landforms, atmospheres, buildings, landscapes and cityscapes) to enhance the sensorial and epistemic valence of their work. This themed issue takes its cue from such mobilizations but also proposes to reconsider them in light of a series of fundamental questions that remain underexplored in this context of violence’s ‘environmentality’ (Agrawal, 2005) even as they have become increasingly complexified by it. These are fundamental questions because they concern the political claims and promises attached to testimony and its various registers such as documentational, figurative, forensic and artistic. We therefore ask: What are the political possibilities and limitations of enlisting environments as authoritative witnesses to violence? What might the sensorial multiplicity associated with testifying to violence environmentally entail for both the primacy of the visual and its critique as a Eurocentrism? How do the truths produced through such testimony bear upon the various politically pragmatic ends it is expected to serve, such as verification, adjudication, resubjectivation, reparation and reconciliation? Contributors to this issue, who work across visual cultures, media studies, architecture and human geography, and who were first brought together in an interdisciplinary symposium held in early 2019 at the London School of Economics and Political Science, explore these questions via a diverse range of contexts including Pakistan, Georgia, Colombia, Austria, Sri Lanka and Lebanon.","PeriodicalId":45373,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Visual Culture","volume":"20 1","pages":"481 - 490"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41837792","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 executive power deploys enforced disappearance to amplify its ekphrastic power. However, the latter can be confronted by the ekphrastic testimony of survivors of disappearance as surrogates of those kin who lack embodied presence. Ekphrasis is the creation of an effect upon its auditors that they are actually beholding through sound and/or language what is visually and temporally withdrawn from their present. Enforced disappearance names the extrajudicial ‘abduction and deprivation of liberty’ of individuals and communities by a sovereign that conceals the act, location of the victims, circumstances of their death and their post-mortem disposition. In this article, the author navigates the complex and intertwining agonistic social rhetorics of visibility and invisibility associated with it that collide as historicizing and dehistoricizing forces through competing ekphrastic rhetorics. She examines how ekphrastic witnessing as a form of blind witnessing becomes an affective media of postwar justice in a society that has erased and disavowed its war crimes.","PeriodicalId":45373,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Visual Culture","volume":"20 1","pages":"522 - 542"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49131547","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}

This forensics communicates with Peter Sloterdijk’s classification of terrorism (including state terror) in ‘Airquakes’ (2009) as environmental war, irrespective of disparate ideological justifications. A forensics of the power and privation that is entangled with juridical positivism and cognate humanitarian agendas presupposes the right-to-look as the property of a sovereign subject. However, the possession character of this right raises the question of envisioning a nonsovereign gaze and an ethics of opacity. The thinking through of a will not to will a right-to-look confronts the atmospheric and habitat hegemonies of technologies and ideologies of omnivoyance, including mass incarceration, policing, and the racial capitalism of environmental extraction.","PeriodicalId":45373,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Visual Culture","volume":"20 1","pages":"596 - 604"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48807800","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}

One follows from the idea that materials can be made into witnesses to environmental violence by drawing together the evidence generated from multiple sensors. In this way, the practice of Forensic Architecture entails a commitment to a distinctive form of collective empiricism that leads to the generation of ‘informed materials’. The second theme of the article follows from Forensic Architecture’s claim that the microphysical investigation of specific incidents can be a starting point in reconstructing larger political and environmental processes. In light of this claim, the author interrogates the relation between the evidence generated by material witnesses and the political situations to which this evidence contributes. His contention is that qualitative forms of social and historical research are required that both complement and go beyond the limits of Forensic Architecture’s commitment to collective empiricism.","PeriodicalId":45373,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Visual Culture","volume":"20 1","pages":"491 - 505"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41605863","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}

From the outset, the book is as concerned with the political fissures of the contemporary world as with the faded socialist states of the 20th century. In the words of Aga Skrodzka, it aims ‘to salvage the dismissed achievements and forgotten aspects of communist cultural work’ and ‘ask how these cultural formations inform our contemporary grappling with social, economic, and political challenges’ (pp. 1–2). In Skrodzka’s interpretation, paying attention to ‘the visual traces of imagined better futures’ (p. 3) is an urgent task that promises to lead to a wholesale rejuvenation of politics and form for the present day by ‘reimagining [communism] beyond the existing ways of thinking about it as a defunct project’ (p. 12) and envisioning an alternative, perhaps utopian, future.","PeriodicalId":45373,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Visual Culture","volume":"20 1","pages":"610 - 613"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45634842","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}

Drawing on the fields of architecture, law, art and cultural production, this investigative scope is engaged through de-colonial, feminist and critical legal theory and method. The analysis in this article is an attempt at dismantling the inherent asymmetric power structures – legal, political and architectural – operating through violent risk, which continue to evade certain frames of accountability. This is done to reveal the complexity of this violent limit condition and its materializations, in the proposal of a progressive methodological imagining and investigation: an unbound critical lived–built environment.","PeriodicalId":45373,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Visual Culture","volume":"20 1","pages":"575 - 595"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43869447","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}

Its humorous name teased out a tension within textiles: they are key to traditionalist histories, while also frequently invested with a subversive potential. Evoking the traditionally feminized and supposedly harmless act of sewing alongside the menacing threat of a terrorist society, the women in the Ladies’ Sewing and Terrorist Society envisioned collective textile making as an insurrectionary process that might disrupt social conventions. Their logo, composed of an unassuming flower motif and typeface, was quickly reproduced on T-shirts, mugs, buttons and other merchandise. Almost half a century later, the logo remains popular among younger feminists, who have revived some of the iconography of secondwave feminisms in the US.","PeriodicalId":45373,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Visual Culture","volume":"20 1","pages":"605 - 609"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47217937","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}

Their analysis aims at creating more compelling narratives for the court of law or of public opinion and has contributed towards a forensic turn, thus complicating the already fraught relationship between the practice of witnessing and political subjects. This article explores how digital witnessing allows us to ‘see’ further and deeper into places that are at a distance from us, whilst at the same time creating the conditions that make certain subjects recede from view. I will discuss these issues in relation to a country I am familiar with and one that has been central to the forensic imagination – Pakistan – although the particular geographies within Pakistan that this imagination works with are not mine. Thinking with non-linear temporalities of violence, I explore how the forensic turn may have actually contributed to the erasure of the racialized political subject.","PeriodicalId":45373,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Visual Culture","volume":"20 1","pages":"506 - 521"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43900542","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}
