Binary Thinking in the Art of Vincent van Gogh
Both taking a semiotic approach, as well as drawing on art historical resources in an attempt to explore the conjuncture between these two disciplinary spaces in a novel way, this essay argues for a view of Vincent van Gogh as an artist deeply and innovatively engaged with binary thinking. Concentrating on questions of meaning in his work, this essay interprets him as concerned to deal visually with issues of binary opposition. In particular, it …
Encountering alterity
This study considers artworks from across the modern and contemporary period (with a focus on the 1940s onwards) where writing is presented as incomprehensible to the viewer. This can occur, for instance, where issues related to cross-cultural interaction are being addressed, or more generally where the issue of encounter with an otherness of some kind has become the content of the work. While the earlier part of the analysis will focus primarily…
Memory Books
This article examines Armenian artistic and cultural practitioners' uses of memory-mapping to create representational spaces in book form that challenge hegemonic national representations of territories with multiple, conflicted histories. Such mappings often draw on cartographic documents, but the projects discussed here reflect a broader definition of mapping as process. Vigen Galstyan and Nelli Shishmanyan's (2020) project Before the Crossfire…
Diasporic memory practice on the Internet
This article examines the work of two diasporic memory organizations, Kresy-Siberia and Houshamadyan, which have both developed Internet platforms to collect and share information about lost homelands: in the former case, the pre-Second World War eastern borderlands of Poland; in the latter, the Armenian communities of the Ottoman Empire that were destroyed by genocide. The article draws on interviews undertaken with participants in order to exam…

Scotland's first farmers
Thirty years after the discovery of an Early Neolithic timber hall at Balbridie in Scotland was reported in Antiquity , new analysis of the site's archaeobotanical assemblage, featuring 20 000 cereal grains preserved when the building burnt down in the early fourth millennium BC, provides new insights into early farming practices. The results of stable isotope analyses of cereals from Balbridie, alongside archaeobotanical and stable isotope resul…
Doing nothing? An ethnography of patients' (In)activity on an acute stroke unit
Health research has begun to pay increasing attention to inactivity in its broadest sense as lack of meaningful activity and boredom. Few studies however have taken a critical look at this phenomenon. We explore (in)activity drawing on ethnographic data from observations in an acute stroke unit and post-discharge interviews with stroke survivors and their families. Four themes emerged that explain patients' (in)activity: (i) planned activities; (…
The Rhetoric of Civil–Military Relations in Contemporary Armed Forces Museums
This article undertakes a rhetorical analysis of two European armed forces museums (the National Army Museum in London and the Bundeswehr Military History Museum in Dresden) in order to show how such institutions provide a space for the negotiation of civil–military relations in ‘post-military’ societies. It argues that both museums construct a world of military professionalism that shields the soldier from potential criticism in the context of c…
Agonistic interventions into public commemorative art
In light of recent controversies around the removal or modification of public commemorative art, such as memorials and monuments, this paper interrogates the value of competing approaches to counter-memorial practice using the framework of agonistic memory. It argues that much counter-memorial practice today, as it relates to historical memory, is dominated by a “cosmopolitan” mode that fails to offer a convincing response to the rise of right-wi…
Cultural Diplomacy
Cultural diplomacy designates a policy field, in which states seek to mobilize their cultural resources to achieve foreign policy goals. The nature of those goals, and of the cultural resources mobilized to achieve them, has been subject to historical change, and a range of terminology has been used to designate this kind of policymaking in different national and historical contexts. Nevertheless, the term cultural diplomacy is a viable one for d…
Tourists as post-witnesses in documentary film
This article compares two documentary films that address an apparent crisis of post-witnessing at memorials that commemorate the victims of National Socialism. In the context of contemporary debates about appropriate behaviour for tourists at sites of “dark” or “difficult” heritage, Sergei Loznitsa’s Austerlitz (2016) and Rex Bloomstein’s KZ (2006) take very different approaches to observing the act of visiting concentration camp memorials. Where…

Cultural Diplomacy in the War Museum
National heritage, and particularly “difficult” heritage, does not exist in isolation from the heritage of other countries. Russia’s relationship to Germany is a salient case in point in the Putin era, in which a more cosmopolitan approach to the history of World War II in many European states has been challenged by a reversion to nationalist approaches to this period in Russian memory politics. Taking the example of the German-Russian Museum Ber…
Administrations of Memory and Modes of Remembering
Memory studies as a Bbroad convergence field^ (Erll 2011, p. 11), incorporating a range of disciplines in the humanities and social sciences, has in the last decade or so increasingly sought to free itself from the weaknesses of its Bmethodological nationalism^ (De Cesari and Rigney 2014, p. 11). The myriad of case studies produced by researchers in the field, it is argued, has tended to focus exclusively on memory as a means of fostering the coh…
Polish Cultural Diplomacy and Historical Memory
This article examines the mobilization of historical memory as a resource for cultural diplomacy through the medium of the museum. Noting the increasing trend for states to incorporate “dark heritage” of conflict into their cultural diplomacy strategies, the article examines the recent case of the Museum of the Second World War in Gdańsk, which has been heavily criticized by the current Polish government for its alleged failure to convey an adequ…
Postmodernity
DUMMY******Postmodernity refers, on the face of it, to a new historical epoch, beyond modernity, in which space and geography supplant time and history as privileged means for understanding the world. Such conceptions have not necessarily stood up to scrutiny and postmodernity is perhaps best understood as modernity shorn of its illusions; as a loss of faith in the idea that the power of reason could resolve the uncertainty and ambivalence of the…
Understanding Controversies over Memorial Museums
Focusing on the case of the Leistikowstraße Memorial Museum in Potsdam, which commemorates victims of Soviet occupation after 1945, this article seeks to understand how conflicts can arise over such institutions, paying attention to the politicization of memory, the professional discourse of historians and museum practitioners, the demands of victims, and institutional factors. It examines the context of the development of this memorial museum in…
New Cultural Geography
The emergence of the “new cultural geography” in the 1980s had an impact spanning the whole discipline, as culture became increasingly central to thinking about the world (and arguably to the world itself). Attempting to resolve the standoff between structure and agency, the new cultural geography explored the cultural dimensions of virtually all aspects of the human world – from national culture and landscape painting to masculine cultures of gl…
North Indian Classical Music and Lerdahl and Jackendoff’s Generative Theory – a Mutual Regard
This article applies aspects of A Generative Theory of Tonal Music by Fred Lerdahl and Ray Jackendoff to the analysis of Hindustani (North Indian) classical music, with a double-edged purpose. On the one hand, the GTTM methodology is used to illuminate the workings of an ālāp (as performed by Vijay Rajput, a vocalist in the khyāl style). On the other hand, the analysis acts as a case study to assess the viability of this methodology for the analy…
Constructing victimhood in divided Germany
Taking the Vereinigung der Opfer des Stalinismus (Association of the Victims of Stalinism) as a case study, this article argues that civil society organisations which claim to represent the interests of victims of historical injustice must seek to construct and propagate notions of the political and social relevance of victimhood. They must do so in such a way that victimhood both offers a coherent point of identification for individual victims a…

Soft power and dark heritage
While positively connoted tangible cultural heritage is widely recognized as an asset to states in their exercise of soft power, the value of sites of ‘dark heritage’ in the context of soft power strategies has not yet been fully explored. This article offers a theoretical framework for the analysis of the multiple soft power potentialities inherent in the management and presentation of sites of past violence and atrocity, demonstrating how the v…

Jon Berndt Olsen. Tailoring Truth
In the Germany of the 1990s, debates raged over the politics of memory that had prevailed under the rule of the Socialist Unity Party (SED) in the German Democratic Republic (GDR). The GDR’s state-mandated “antifascist” memory was attacked by Western historians, commentators, and politicians as a mere instrument of legitimation employed by a “totalitarian” regime. This debate also focused on exposing the myths and distortions of the SED’s memory …
An interpretative phenomenological analysis of the experience of self-harm repetition and recovery in young adults
Six young adults (aged 19–21 years) with repeat self-harm for over 5 years were interviewed about their self-harm, why they continued and what factors might help them to stop. Interpretative phenomenological analysis identified six themes: keeping self-harm private and hidden; self-harm as self-punishment; self-harm provides relief and comfort; habituation and escalation of self-harm; emotional gains and practical costs of cutting, and not believ…

Afterimages
In this paper we argue that montage is at the heart of contemporary human geography. We demonstrate the centrality of montage in a wide variety of domains, including the analysis of modernity, the critique of political economy, and the practice of spatial science, before drawing out the implications of this centrality in the wake of so-called 'nonrepresentational' theory. While nonrepresentational styles of thought ordinarily veer off into consid…

Hearing Places, Making Spaces
In this paper we provide a consideration of sound and space. Much of the early literature on this topic, we argue, failed to conceptualise sound adequately. More recent literature has begun to explore more carefully the nature of sound and the aural sensing of the environment in its social, political, economic, and cultural contexts. Here we contribute to this exploration not solely by offering a theoretical consideration of sound but also by pro…
Theorising the role of cultural products in cultural diplomacy from a Cultural Studies perspective
Cultural diplomacy continues to attract significant interest as a potential means for states to exercise ‘soft power’. However, policy-makers and academics who assert the efficacy of cultural diplomacy in terms of influencing foreign publics and states rarely consider how cultural products are actually received abroad. This article proposes that this process of reception can be better understood with reference to the theoretical approaches of Cul…
Shooting space, tracking time
The article reflects on the visualization of the city in the late 1890s and early 1900s, with reference to English animated photography and film: two media that are intimately related in terms of technology but worlds apart in terms of form. While both animated photography and film shared an elective affinity with the city, each was drawn to the urban environment for different reasons. Anima-photographers were particularly concerned with the move…
Growth, Concentration and Regulation in European Food Retailing
This paper extends recent work on British retail change, assessing the extent of corresponding or diverging development trajectories elsewhere in Europe. Ten national markets are scrutinized, with a view to understanding the likely variability in future European retail development. The so-called ‘golden age’ of grocery retailing in Britain, its subsequent demise, and the responses this provoked from retailers provides a benchmark against which to…
Dark Panopticon. Or, Attack of the Killer Tomatoes
In the wake of claims that much of critical human geography has succumbed to the dreaded postmodern fatigue syndrome-symptoms include unrelenting tiredness, uncritical social somnambulance, spectral hallucinations, an unnatural preoccupation with the dead, and a tendency to submit to passive and reactive forces-the authors offer a paper that came to them during a dream dreamt alongside insomnia. Borne of exhaustion rather than tiredness, the drea…

Israel's Unauthorized Arms Transfers
Israel confronts a spectrum of security threats. Given that harsh reality and America`s firm commitment to the Jewish state as reiterated by successive presidents, Israel requires, and rightly receives, unique attention and support from the United States (U.S). Indeed, Israel`s welfare, even survival, is dependent on its `special` relationship with Washington. Thus far, U.S.-Israel ties have weathered America`s post-Cold War retrenchment in world…

Grocery Retailers and Regional Monopolies
The recent Competition Commission inquiry into supermarket retailing highlighted the existence of spatial monopolies in certain areas of the UK. This paper explores their extent and examines future retail expansion opportunities in light of the report's recommendations. Using a number of indicators, we assess the geographical incidence of monopolies and provide a series of 'what-if?' analyses of how retailers might achieve growth. We examine how …
Public and Private Consumption and the City
It is not too great an exaggeration to suggest that, since the focus on public (collective) and private consumption had its heyday, in the urban studies of the 1970s and 1980s

Retail Saturation
In an earlier paper we presented a picture of the provision of British food retail floor-space which was attentive to both the debate on retail saturation and the underlying competitive processes shaping the geography of the grocery sector. There we argued that there was still considerable variation in the provision of food retailing floor-space in the United Kingdom, with analyses presented at the regional (county), interurban, and intraurban le…
Retail Saturation, Retail Location, and Retail Competition
The appreciably dramatic idea that British grocery retailing is facing imminent saturation has attracted increasing attention particularly since the mid-1980s to late 1980s. In this paper we seek to review and attempt to sophisticate the debate over saturation by providing a detailed discussion and spatial analysis of current levels of retail provision. This analysis, in itself, offers a view of the potential for future retail expansion. We argue…

Rumours of Angels
The present paper examines the origin and socio-historical context of the Angels of Mons, a belief-legend that was a source of inspiration for British civilians and troops serving on the Western Front during the war of 1914-8. I trace the source of the legend to a fictional story that was in itself inspired by traditions of supernatural intervention in battle that were of great antiquity. During 1915 two versions, one based upon fiction and the o…
Competition and Saturation in West European Grocery Retailing
The international (and, increasingly, global) nature of grocery retailing is promoting the need to consider developments across numerous markets in order to understand fully any given country's market characteristics. However, compared with the breadth of research on various aspects of UK grocery retailing, there is a relative paucity of work across the same range of topics and scales in European contexts (broad national-level comparisons excepte…

The City of the Future revisited or, the lost world of Patrick Keiller
Focusing on Patrick Keiller's 2005 feature‐length film, The City of the Future , this paper revisits the cinematic city. Keiller's film consists entirely of found footage, using intertitles to fashion a unified narrative from separate early actuality films. It involves a fictive journey around Britain, undertaken by an unseen narrator whom, we learn, has travelled back in time to avert an unspecified crisis. Deleterious consequences await Britain…

Structural, cognitive and semiotic aspects of the musical present
Music's relation to time is viewed primarily as a phenomenological issue. The psychological concept of the perceived, or specious present is accordingly adopted and investigated, since it is through the medium of this conscious state of attention that musical structures are perceived. Special consideration is given to the kinds of structures and the quality of presence associated with the teleological mode of temporality described as linear time.…

Competition between Television Companies for Advertising Revenue in the United Kingdom
This paper provides a contribution to the geographies of advertising and the media. The authors examine the ways in which commercial television companies try to attract advertising to their regions; advertising being their main source of revenue. Competition based on the cost of advertising in particular regions is effectively restricted. This market failure results in regionally uneven allocations of advertising money, and hence an uneven region…

In the current beginnings of the mapping of the consumer society there is an evident tension between political-economic and poststructuralist accounts of consumption. It has been suggested that a philosophy of difference does nothing more than mimic a capitalist ideology of choice; that it represents a levelling of philosophy to the vulgar status of consumerism. The counterposition asserts a lack of tolerance to difference inherent in the rationa…

The constitutive role of the media in relation to society has, arguably, not received the attention it deserves from those interested in the spatial constitution of society, A case could be made, for example, that the most dramatic manifestation of the relation between the media and space-viz globalisation-has led to a failure to appreciate the multifaceted scales and dimensions of this relation. Thus, though sometimes sensitive to the local scal…
