  • An Introduction to Visual Culture

    N MirzoeffBOOKAn Introduction to Visual Culture2023

    The author traces the history and theory of visual culture asking how and why visual media have become so central to contemporary everday life. He explores a wide range of visual forms, including painting, sculpture, photography, television, cinema, virtual reality, and the Internet while addressing the subjects of race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, the body, and the international media event that followed the death of Princess Diana

  • To See in the Dark

    N MirzoeffARTICLESocial Text2023

    Seeing with Palestine was a constitutive possibility in the anticolonial way of seeing from the moment of the Nakba, meaning “catastrophe,” the destruction of Palestinian society in 1948. This article traces this way of seeing in the genealogy of visual culture that emerged in Britain in dialogue with Black British cultural studies and art practice, based on the practices of Stuart Hall, George Lamming, John Berger, and Jean Mohr. It then discuss…

  • The dialectical debt-image

    Open AccessN MirzoeffARTICLECultural Dynamics2023Referencias: 4

    This essay asks what is "the image of unpayable debt"? I approach Ferreira da Silva's assemblage from the angle delineated by Walter Benjamin's concept of the "image," a multi-layered composite of time-spaces. I include Benjamin's weak Messianism, via the democratic debt jubilee, and the general strike reconfigured for the present as the feminist strike against debt. The "image" formed in this process is multiple and sedimented with layers of tim…

  • An Anticolonial way of Seeing

    N MirzoeffARTICLEInterventions2022

    This essay explores the formation of the concept “way of seeing” as a configuration of anticolonial thought and practice in the transnational context of Notting Hill in 1950s London, following the racialized violence in 1958 and 1959. In this moment of decolonial transition Barbadian poet and writer George Lamming coined the phrase “way of seeing” in his Pleasures of Exile (1960), a study of the affects and effects of migration in London. The way…

  • The Whiteness of Birds

    Open AccessN MirzoeffARTICLEliquid blackness2022Citada por: 2Referencias: 13

    This essay frames the 2020 Central Park bird-watching incident, in which a white financial analyst called police on a Black bird-watcher, in the context of histories of settler colonialism, extraction, and white supremacy. Situating ornithology as a white way of seeing, it considers the extermination and extinction of birds in terms of fugitivity, necrography, and eugenics, engaging the work of Audubon and the collection and display of birds at t…

  • What is Radical

    Alexander Alberro, Alexander Mendiburu et al.ARTICLEARTMargins2021

    What does it mean to think and act radically, and how does this relate to forms of radicalism connected to earlier moments, for example, in the 20th century? What can be the role of radical art and scholarship under the conditions of late capitalism? More generally, how can art and artists serve the ongoing struggle for social justice and the agendas of emancipatory social change? Finally, what kinds of art criticism and art historical scholarshi…

  • Necrography

    Open AccessD Hicks, Priya Basil et al.ARTICLEBritish Art Studies2021Citada por: 4Referencias: 8

    When it comes to the study of artworks as material culture, there are few more familiar idioms than that of the “life-history” of the object. From Arjun Appadurai’s formulation of “the social life of things” (1986) to Bruno Latour’s business-school model of “actor-networks” (1993), over the past generation a particular variety of materialist anthropology has taken root in those parts of historical studies that deal with things. “If humans have bi…

  • Decolonial {R}evolution

    N MirzoeffARTICLEAsian Diasporic Visual Cultures…2017

    This article explores what Grace Lee Boggs called {r}evolution—the horizontal construction of autonomous power from below by multiple subjects—in the context of anthropogenic climate change. This is a decolonial uprising from Haiti to Detroit against petrocracy, or the mutually reinforcing rule of fossil fuels and monotheism. I pursue a decolonial reading of the Holocene/Anthropocene geological epochs through an anarchaeological, visual, and disc…

  • The Murder of Michael Brown

    Based on a full reading of the transcript of the grand jury hearings concerning the killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, on 9 August 2014, this article uses the transcript as an archive to demonstrate how the informal systems of racial hierarchy in the United States operate today. Arguing that the #BlackLivesMatter movement has created a persistent looking as a means of making such issues visible, Mirzoeff describes how the grand jury …

  • The Climate Crisis Is a Debt Crisis

    N MirzoeffARTICLESouth Atlantic Quarterly2013Referencias: 1

    The climate crisis is intimately related to the debt crisis. First, developed nations owe a climate debt to developing nations, meaning extra space under the emissions limits to develop the former's economies. Second, the need to restrict emissions means that growth-based solutions to the debt crisis cannot stand. Finally, disaster relief is provided primarily in the form of interest-bearing loans rather than grants. A debt strike is therefore al…

  • The interventionists

    Nato Thompson, Gregory Sholette et al.

    Art made to attach to buildings or to be given away? Wearable art for street demonstrations or art that sets up a booth at a trade show? This is the art of the interventionists, who trespass into the everyday world to raise our awareness of injustice and other social problems. These artists don't preach or proselytize; they give us the tools to form our own opinions and create our own political actions. The Interventionists, which accompanies an …

  • Diaspora and Visual Culture

    N Mirzoeff

    This is the first book to examine the connections between diaspora - the movement, whether forced or voluntary, of a nation or group of people from one homeland to another - and its representations in visual culture. Two foundational articles by Stuart Hall and the painter R.B. Kitaj provide points of departure for an exploration of the meanings of diaspora for cultural identity and artistic practice. A distinguished group of contributors, who in…
