Track Changes : A Handbook for Art Criticism
No full text"Critics who prioritize social, ideological, or political concerns are often admonished for "having an agenda." But judgments are never neutral, and writers who articulate their commitments can productively heighten the stakes and impact of criticism. In Track Changes: A Handbook for Art Criticism, twenty-five art writers and editors share strategies for critical writing and editing that encourage solidarity and reparative decision-making to actively challenge structural inequalities within the art world. This collection begins with a practical overview of the editorial process, followed by case studies, conversations, manifestos, and reflections on technical and ethical choices. Track Changes is a rigorous and supportive guide to art criticism -- a mentor in book form"--Publisher's websit
The Memoirs of Miss Chief Eagle Testickle Vol. Two : A True and Exact Accounting of the History of Turtle Island
No full text"Volume Two, which takes us from the moment of confederation to the present day, is a heartbreaking and intimate examination of the tragedies of the nineteenth and twentieth century. Zeroing in on the story of one family told across generations, Miss Chief bears witness to the genocidal forces and structures that dispossessed and attempted to erase Indigenous peoples. Featuring many figures pulled from history as well as new individuals created for this story, Volume Two explores the legacy of colonial violence in the children’s work camps (called residential schools by some), the Sixties Scoop, and the urban disconnection of contemporary life. Ultimately, it is a story of resilience and reconnection, and charts the beginnings of an Indigenous future that is deeply rooted in an experience of Indigenous history—a perspective Miss Chief, a millennia-old legendary being, can offer like none other.
Blending history, fiction, and memoir in bold new ways, The Memoirs of Miss Chief Eagle Testickle are unlike anything published before. And in their power to reshape our shared understanding, they promise to change the way we see everything that lies ahead." -- Publisher's websit
Sound American No 30 : The Thirtieth Issue
No full text"Landmark events should be celebrated, even when they lead us to the edge of a lacuna, when they denote the first moments of, what will hopefully be a short, silence. SA30 · The Thirtieth Issue is such an event. In the last ten years, Sound American has grown naturally from its humble roots as a DIY online publication. And it has done so while remaining small and intimate—with no advertising or outside economic influence—and with an ear toward the words of musicians and the passions of listeners like you.
Now is the time to take a break, however. For many reasons, economic as well as philosophical and personal, SA cannot continue. This will be the journal’s last issue. I prefer to think of it as the end of an edition, with the hope that a wave of resources allows for a new beginning, but for now, it is a moment to celebrate the past thirty issues, the over-half-a-million words on music that Sound American has leveled on the world, and the warm and inviting community that has built itself around the journal in the past decade." -- Distributor's website
