  • Heal-Summ: A lightweight and ethical framework for accessible summarization of health information

    Open AccessA Fisher, A J Fisher et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2025

    Introduction: The growing volume and complexity of health-related news presents significant barriers to public understanding. While large language models (LLMs) offer a promising means of summarizing such content, many approaches are computationally expensive and can lack sufficient evaluation of ethical as well as representational quality. Methods: To address these limitations, this research proposes a lightweight framework called Health Ethics …

    Julian Stallabra, Julian Stallabrass et al.ARTICLEPhilosophy of Photography2022Cited by: 1References: 2

    This interview with the art historian and curator Julian Stallabrass was conducted by Alex Fletcher and Andrew Fisher over the winter of 2022-23. It takes as its point of departure Stallabrass's recent and large-scale study Killing for Show: Photography, War, and the Media in Vietnam and Iraq (2020), in order to consider the changing ways in which images have been used to both document and to wage war. The interview explores Stallabrass's central…

    This article focuses on documents made by the Soviet military secret service detailing the arrest, interrogation, trial and execution of Sergei Tret'iakov in Moscow in 1937.

  • We Do Not Want the Gates Closed Between Us: Native Networks and the Spread of the Ghost Dance. By Justin Gage

    Open AccessA Fisher, Andrew H FisherARTICLEWestern Historical Quarterly2022

    In popular culture, communication among Native Americans is often described using stereotypical phrases such as “smoke signals” and “the moccasin telegraph,” which imply primitive or even mystical means of sending information over great distances. By the late nineteenth century, however, Native peoples had become adept at using the infrastructure of settler colonialism to create intertribal networks that circumvented federal control. Justin Gage …

  • The promise of photography: Scale, measure and proportion in a conflicted visual milieu

    A Fisher, Anja Hennig et al.ARTICLEPhilosophy of Photography2021References: 1

    This roundtable discussion is based on an online symposium - The Promise of Photography: Scale, Measure and Proportion in a Conflicted Visual Milieu - which took place on 17 September 2021. Since its inception, photography has promised to set things to scale, to grant them measure and proportion, a series of promises that have also entailed moments of irrationality or conflict that persist in and continue to shape the era of global networked digi…

  • Empire’s Tracks: Indigenous Nations, Chinese Workers, and the Transcontinental Railroad by Manu Karuka

    A FisherARTICLELabor Studies in Working-Class…2020References: 1

    The completion of the first transcontinental railroad in 1869 is a powerful master symbol, open to competing interpretations that often reveal the aspirations, attitudes, and anxieties of a given age. For many contemporary Americans, the meeting of the Central Pacific and Union Pacific lines at Promontory Point embodied the spirit of Manifest Destiny that had carried their exceptional nation across North America. The golden spike that joined the …

  • Three scale models for a photographic world: Benjamin, constellation, image and scale

    Open AccessA FisherARTICLEPhilosophy of Photography2020References: 5

    This article sets out to substantiate an understanding of the photographic image as a constellation of scaled relations, with a focus on the significance of historically neglected questions of scale in and for the present. It explores two recurrent themes in Walter Benjamin's writings: his celebrated methodological-epistemological concept of constellation and his less often remarked fascination for relationships of scale, processes of scaling and…

  • Defenders and Dissidents: Cooks Landing and the Fight to Define Tribal Sovereignty in the Red Power Era

    A Fisher, Andrew H FisherARTICLEComparative American Studies An…2020Cited by: 1References: 3

    The 'Fish Wars' in the Pacific Northwest during the 1960s and 1970s hold an important yet predictable place within the historiography of the Red Power movement. In standard works, the fish-ins and other protests serve as a prelude to the larger pan-Indian struggle that seized public attention after the occupation of Alcatraz. The fight for treaty fishing rights thus serves as a proving ground for individuals like Hank Adams and organizations like…

  • Miki Kratsman and Shabtai Pinchevsky: The Anti-Mapping project

    This article introduces an evolving project of visual mapping initiated by Israeli photographers Miki Kratsman and Shabtai Pinchevsky under the title of Anti-Mapping.

  • Tinseltown Tyee: Nipo Strongheart and the Making of Braveheart

    Open AccessA Fisher, Andrew H FisherARTICLEAmerican Indian Culture and…2018

    Nipo Strongheart's role in the DeMille production of Braveheart enables us to see the Native American performers of his generation as actors, in multiple senses of the word, not as mere objects of the cinematic gaze. Like other “contact zones” where Indigenous intellectuals and performers engage with non-Indigenous audiences and expectations, Native agency was exercised in the movie industry as well. This article demonstrates that even as they fo…

  • On the Scales of Photographic Abstraction

    A FisherARTICLEPhotographies2016Cited by: 4

    This article explores three key ways in which questions of abstraction have been and continue to be closely associated with photography: the tradition of photographs that desire to “be” abstract; the invisible but determining forms of abstraction central to capitalism and shaping of photography as a technical-historical form; and the technical-conceptual abstractions embedded in and structuring of photographic apparatuses. The exploration of thes…

  • Indigenous Women and Work: From Labor to Activism ed. by Carol Williams

    A Fisher, Andrew H Fisher et al.ARTICLELabor Studies in Working-Class…2016

    In a recent editorial for Daily Kos, Denise Oliver Velez observed, “We still learn little of Native Americans in our history classes, and of Ndn [Indian] women, not much beyond Pocahontas and Sacagawea. Rarely is that history linked to living Native American women and their contemporary lives and struggles. Some historians, activists and Native American and Women’s Studies scholars are trying to change that and are beginning to teach the history …

  • The Sea Is My Country: The Maritime World of the Makahs . By Joshua L. Reid

    A Fisher, Andrew H FisherARTICLEWestern Historical Quarterly2016

    The Makah Indian Reservation covers less than forty-seven square miles of Washington’s Olympic Peninsula. Nestled on Cape Flattery, the westernmost tip of the continental United States, this remote strip of coast consists mostly of rocky headlands, dense rainforests, and storm-tossed beaches with limited economic potential. It is, in sum, just the sort of place one would expect the federal government to put an Indian reservation. To focus on such…

  • Photo-Surveillance and the Emplaced Déraciné

    A FisherARTICLEPhotographies2014Cited by: 1References: 1

    This article examines a defining tension between the meanings and values imposed on the production of place in photo-surveillance, which stems from its operation as a mode of deracinating emplacement. Photo-surveillance imbues specific places with significance, yet in doing so it subjects depicted individuals and events to processes of displacement. In light of this, the article takes as its starting point the following claims: what one might cal…
