Becoming with Wheat (and Other More-Than-Human Others) (2018-2022)
Get PDFBecoming with Wheat (and Other More-Than-Human Others) 2018-2022 was developed as part of The Commons: Re-enchanting the World, an ACE funded project that I co-curated with Catherine Morland at the University of Reading’s Museum of English Rural Life, known as The MERL from 2020-2022. Becoming with Wheat… responded to the idea of a more-than-human commons, where a collective of human and non-human others are all in relation, interdependent and entangled.
Drawing on Annette Arlander’s articulation of the artistic-research process as being akin to that of a ‘dispersed vegetal being’, Becoming with Wheat… is a scattering, manifesting not as a single outcome, rather multiple crops, germinations, and cycles, many of which are speculative and interconnected in their growth and evolution: growing, milling, baking, eating, strawcraft, filming, anthotype making, and writing. It is an exploration of wheat, its histories, mythology, materiality, and relationships. Also central to the project are Donna Haraway’s ideas of companion species: The root of ‘companion’ being derived from the Latin cum panis meaning, ‘with bread’, reminding us of our relationship to others through food, our eating together and being eaten

Terrorism and the arts: practices and critiques in contemporary cultural production
No full textEdited anthology with introduction and essay by Jonathan Harris.
A set of 11 essays, with a comprehensive introduction, on the relations between terrorism and cultural production in visual art, music, film, drama and other media, with a focus on the twentieth and twenty first centuries.
This book assesses the key definitions, forms, contexts and impacts of terrorist activity on the arts in the modern era, using historical and contemporary perspectives.
Its empirical case studies include theatre, literature, music, visual art, mass media, film and the mores of 'ordinary life.' While its immediate reflective context is Islamic fundamentalist terrorism, the book reviews a broader range of definitions and counter-definitions of 'terrorism', 'state terrorism' and 'states of terror,' examining uses of the terms through a series of comparative analyses. Chapters focus on the intersection of these definitional questions with heuristic analysis of art forms, cultural activities and their socio-historical contexts.
This book will be of interest to scholars in art history, terrorism, politics and the media, and visual culture
Queer juxtapositions in the art of Francis Bacon and Lilliput Magazine
Get PDFFrancis Bacon made extensive use of photographs and other images from the visual culture of his time in the production of works that were implicitly queer. Homosexual men were widely represented in prose and through cartoons as camply effeminate 'pansies'. In the magazine Lilliput, by contrast, photographic spreads produced juxtapositions that evoked a range of responses to same-sex attraction from erotic engagement to nervous rejection. Studying the ways in which this and other magazines engaged with queer culture enables us to reassess the painter’s use of juxtaposed visual forms as acts of sexualised self-expression

(Re) designing fashion contextual studies: a generative view of socio-semiotics in creative higher education
Get PDFThe article presents the case for pedagogical approaches in Arts and Design Higher Education that are not informed exclusively by Pedagogy, but growing around Socio- semiotics which ceases to be a theory of critical analysis, to become a tool explored in its generative potential to construct, in reverse, practices that will be put into discourse. From programme design to the delivery of face to face and online sessions with students, the programme constituting the main case of this work was idealised, designed, and delivered utilising the principles of Greimas’ semiotics (1986, 1987, 2002; GREIMAS & COURTÉS, 1993) concerning the analysis of discourses, and the theories of interactions developed by Landowski (2004, 2005, 2009, 2010) and Oliveira (2002, 2013). The bridge created between those theories and Freire’s (1970) Critical Pedagogy permitted to explore different modes of presence in the classroom, which transformed the roles of tutor and student, as well as the contents of the course. Seeing Higher Education beyond economic exchanges welcomed the construction of an attitude toward knowledge that surpasses the idea of “skill transfer”, cultivating adjustments which aim at the union between different subjects, resulting in the teaching of theory reaching beyond the writing of essays and becoming an integral part in the making of design. Through the transformations of interactions between the tutor, students, and the course contents, the model presented in the article invites a reflection on the importance of semiotic concepts in the process of constructing educational practices that “make sense”
The effectiveness of online-based learning in Java programming language: student perceptions and performance
Get PDFThis research aims to explore the effectiveness of learning Java programming language using online-based learning compared to traditional-based learning towards undergraduate students in Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM). Similar types of learning materialsin the form of slides, notes and books are used with additional forms of assessments to substitute the final exam. The main difference is in the learning approaches which have been switched to online basedvia various platforms depending on the suitability and preference of the students. This research focuses on identifying and analyzing certain aspects from the students’ perceptions, which are the students’ (1) learning preference; (2) learning engagement; (3) learning assessment, and in terms of their overall (4) satisfaction towards the learning process. This research uses a quantitative approach through the questionnaire as the survey instrument, involving 31 students. The data is analyzed using descriptive statistics (percentage frequency distribution, mean, and standard deviation). Findings show that despite usingonline-based learning,48.39% obtained marks above 80% in Lab Test 2, which is doubled compared to the previous test, Lab Test 1, 25.81%. This indicates that while students prefer traditional-based learning, they are able to perform better through online-based learning
Nazi horror, reanimated: rethinking subgenres and cycles
No full textThis chapter considers the resurgence of 'Nazi horror' (horror films featuring Nazis as monsters) in the 21st century.
