They consider conflicts around land tenure, violent land dispossessions and land grabbing as the sedimented articulation of multiple environmental, legal, economic, and violent processes that are drawn out over decades. Their mode of analysis is based on a visual methodology using ‘situated testimony’ of ‘earthly memory’ that reflects the need to combine modes of seeing and understanding earth systems through the historicity of such slow violence. This focus on earthly memory allows for an approach to violence that resists the commodification of the environment and its reduction to an inert object, or a mere prize of war (what is often reduced to a ‘conflict over resources’). Rather, by focusing these situated testimonies on the theme of earthly memory, the authors pursue an analysis that underscores the environment as an active agent in the conflicts and forms of violence that are at the heart of land dispossession. The environment should be understood, they argue, as both a mode and medium through which violence is conducted, rather than a passive victim on which violence is executed. This is how they arrive at a method of situated testimony that could be employed as a way of addressing the role of earthly memory in the long history of the Colombian war.","PeriodicalId":45373,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Visual Culture","volume":"20 1","pages":"543 - 562"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47123572","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}

As a blind person, the author takes advantage of touch tours offered in many of the world’s museums. As rewarding as these can be, she often leaves feeling that there is something missing. She is aware that people who witness a touch tour for blind people, both companions who might be with them and strangers who might observe it, are curious, even envious. It seems only right that she, and other blind people who enjoy this privilege, have a responsibility to share the experience as a way to expand cultural knowledge about art. The projects described here enable her to begin to establish a taxonomy and vocabulary of tactile and haptic aesthetics, and model tactile descriptions of art that can benefit anyone. She does this both to reciprocate for the privilege cultural institutions bestowed on her, as well as to show that touch is not merely a poor substitute for sight, but rather a different mode of inquiry and appreciation. She hopes this work will support challenges to the ocularcentrism of the museum sector by showing how art can engage the full human sensorium. These projects all took place in the years leading up to the Covid-19 global pandemic and were a small part of initiatives at arts institutions to promote equity and inclusion by drawing on the knowledge and expertise of members of marginalized communities. As these institutions reopen post-pandemic and restructure their staff and programming, it remains to be known if they will continue the progress toward greater inclusion or return to previous models designed to serve only normative audiences. In her conclusion, the author speculates on the kind of systematic changes that will need to happen to continue to diversify museum audiences and increase multisensory access to art.","PeriodicalId":45373,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Visual Culture","volume":"20 1","pages":"433 - 451"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45467603","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}

Turning to media focusing on Nigeria’s Niger-Delta region, the author argues that African cultural forms are crucial for extending the frontiers of ecomedia studies and for apprehending the perversities of oil culture. His analysis of a mural in Ireland’s Mayo County featuring the environmental activist Ken Saro-Wiwa (2005), the music video for Timaya’s ‘Dem Mama’ (2006), and Victor Ehikhamenor’s art installation, The Wealth of Nations (2015), shows that they deploy the visual in protesting the commodifying logic of oil extraction. This article adopts an infrastructural approach toward media as it underscores how oil consecrates the selected cultural objects as network forms. Focusing on African materials extends the geography and archive of ecomedia studies, but it has methodological implications too. The author orients scholarship in the environmental humanities toward working across media, encouraging the field to adopt ecological relationality as both the matter and the method.","PeriodicalId":45373,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Visual Culture","volume":"20 1","pages":"60 - 84"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/1470412921994616","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44988180","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 careful readings of various philosophical concepts (duration, ontology, materialism), artists (for example, Max Neuhaus, Christian Marclary, Alvin Lucier), and thinkers (Gilles Deleuze, Henri Bergson, Friedrich Nietzsche, Wilhelm Leibniz), Sonic Flux: Sound, Art, and Metaphysics does not simply offer a summary of various sound artworks as much as it rigorously maps out a philosophy of sound which extends beyond artworks – sound as an ‘immemorial material flow [that] manifests and models the myriad fluxes that constitute the natural world’ (pp. 2–3). For Cox, this ‘sonic flux . . . suggests a way of rethinking the arts in general’ (p. 37) founded upon a non-anthropocentric naturalism, or rather, an anti-humanist metaphysics, which pushes for critical artistic research through material and sensory experimentation and critical theory, something deeply significant for all culture. With an already extensive background in sound and philosophy – Cox is the author of Nietzsche: Naturalism and Interpretation (1999) and the co-editor of Audio Culture: Readings in Modern Music (Cox and Warner, 2004) – Sonic Flux has solidified Cox’s role as the definitive voice in the field of sound art.","PeriodicalId":45373,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Visual Culture","volume":"20 1","pages":"121 - 123"},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2021-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/1470412921996296","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43070445","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}
