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
Audiovisionaries of the Network Planet
No full textThe process of imaging or imagining, of sounding the world in an age of digital globalisation is by definition an unfinished project. It embraces various modes and experiences of the global: as triumph of corporate technologies, as diasporan cultural exchage, as the isolation but also the solidarity and ultimately the freedom of migrants. Elsewhere the global appears as breakdown (Mark Napier's Landfill, a browser which mulches html and web content) or as conflict (Olia Lialina's much-praised narrative My Boyfriend Came Back From the War), or as sheer abstraction (Alex Jarrett's Confluence, a socialised attempt to gather a photograph for every place on the planet where lines of latitude and longitude cross, or as corporate network (Josh On and futurefarmers' They Rule). The intersecting planes of globalisation evolve on the basis of network technologies, and in network technologies we find not only their shadows and their footprints but also their ommissions and their blindnessses, pulled apart in deconstructions of code (Alex Galloway's Carnivore) or discovered in the spaces between that most characteristic quality of digital media, layers. Investigations of how the planet has been and might be visualised digitally employ the same machines and often subvert the same software that powers the mangement and extraction of value from the planet among ruling elites
The Routledge handbook of contemporary art in global Asia
No full textAn extensive, comprehensive edited anthology, with main and section introductions, along with an essay written by Jonathan Harris, the author of all these introductions and main editor of the book as a whole.
This substantial collection of newly commissioned essays presents an ambitious, entertaining, and accessible guide to developments in Asian art over the past 20 years of the epoch of globalization.
The term 'global Asia' signals the genesis and evolution of contemporary art within the context of global economic, social, political, and intellectual change related to the end of the Cold War, decolonization, the emergence of postcolonial societies and cultures, and the rise of a global contemporary art world. In the handbook its editors establish, in an extended introductory section and in four section introductions, the theoretical, geographical, and historical parameters within which the contemporary visual arts of ‘global Asia’ may be described, analyzed, and evaluated. The collected chapters provide a diverse, multiauthored, heterogeneous, and genuinely plural account of art and its contexts. The democratic and inclusive character of globalization is reflected and produced within this anthology, which includes different styles of writing as well as varieties of analytic and thematic focus.
The anthology will appeal to both scholars and students in art history, art practice, curation, contemporary art, fine art, cultural studies, and globalization studies

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
