Kaleidoscope Urbanism
How do we imagine the places where we are? How do we construct them and construct images from them? Drawing on a diverse set of scholars whose work draws attention to the local as a theoretical apparatus for art and architectural history and practice, this volume centers histories of, and critical approaches to, local placemaking and its imaginaries. The city of Santa Barbara, where a critical mass of our editorial team is located, underpinned de…
The Body and the City
In her recent book on Eileen O’Shaughnessy, a British logistics worker with the Partit Obrer d'Unificació Marxista (POUM) during the Spanish Civil War, Anna Funder examines a passage from George Orwell’s Homage to Catalonia in which Eileen sits alone in the Hotel Continental's lobby at night. Located on the major promenade of Las Ramblas in Barcelona, the hotel occupies a central location in a zone scarred by conflict and was a site of skirmishes…
The Lure of the Lash

Introduction
Volume two of react/review: a responsive journal for art and architecture explores the spiritual, monstrous, cosmological, and otherworldly within or as forms of political action or resistance. Considering how spiritual themes are entangled with political action or resistance invites new attention to a range of subtle distinctions between manifestations of the “spirit,” whether as methodology, content, and/or the effect of a work. Reproducibility…
Landscapes of Elision
A striking aspect of Aukland-Peck’s piece is the way it traces a connection between naturalism and environmental exploitation via imperial networks. By grounding the discussion of Shell’s advertising campaign in a discussion of its historical emergence as a company trading in exotic seashells from across the British empire linked to existing domestic interest in seashells and fossils by naturalists, Aukland-Peck establishes naturalism itself as p…
