Exploring friendships behind prison walls
No full textPositive connections between men in prison are rarely thought about or discussed in academic research. Yet as Crewe (2014),1 Laws and Lieber(2020),2 and Morey and Crewe (2018) highlight,3 considerable intimacy and camaraderie exists between imprisoned men. In this paper, we utilise academic collaborative writing — taking a knowledge equity approach — to examine friendships between imprisoned men. One author with first hand lived experience of prison (Marc)writes about their experiences freely in their own words, in the first person, and creates the wider narrative together with an academic (Donna). We suggest these conditions create a more relaxed and natural position for a person with lived experience sof prison to share them, arguably encouraging openness surrounding sensitive topics like friendships during incarceration, deepening insights. Through this process of co-production, we aim to bridge some of the distance from the conventional space of ‘research participant’towards a more equitable ‘participant author

Lorna Simpson: Gathered
No full textL’articolo è stato ispirato dall’ultimo lavoro di Lorna Simpson, artista che vive e lavora a Brooklyn. Nei suoi lavori fotografici Simpson affronta il tema dell’identità afroamericana, esplorando e mettendo in discussione le questioni di genere, razza e cultura. Nella sua mostra dal titolo “Gathered” all’Elizabeth A. Sackle Center for Feminist Art presso il Brooklyn Museum di New York nel 2011, Simpson ha realizzato due installazioni di ritratti fotografici di donne di colore. Nella prima installazione Simpson ha esibito una serie di ritratti di sconosciute donne di colore realizzati tramite cabina per fototessere, acquistati su eBay e collezionati dall’artista. La seconda, May June July August 1957/2009 (2009), è costituita da una serie di scatti vintage in bianco e nero di una giovane donna afroamericana, in pose da pin-up: tra essi, l’artista ha inserito i propri ritratti, interpretando le stesse pose della modella sconosciuta. Collegando i ricordi personali ad una ricostruzione immaginaria del passato, le opere in mostra a Brooklyn segnalano una nuova direzione dell’indagine di Simpson sulla memoria, sulla verità e sulla finzione

The Singer or the Song? Developments in Performers' Rights from the Perspective of a Cultural Economist
No full textOver the last century, performers gradually acquired statutory protection of their economic and moral
rights. These rights are not copyright in the legal sense but neighboring rights and until recently, they
were mainly remuneration rights that are collectively administered. With the WPPT (WIPO
Performers and Phonograms Treaty), performers now have individual exclusive rights for digital
performances; this leads to the question: what has motivated this change – is it a change in the
perception of the value of performer or a change brought about by the changing technology of copying or,
indeed, a change that reflects different economic costs and benefits? The paper discusses the role of
copyright law as an incentive to performers and asks if the economic role of the performer is so different
from that of the author. The conclusion is that a complex interaction of the legal regulations, economic
conditions and institutional arrangements for administering these new rights will determine the outcome
