        Terror

        When images become weapons

        by Charlotte Klonk

        The propaganda videos made by IS are nothing new. On the contrary, terrorists have always made use of images to spread their cause through the media - as have their enemy, the state. In this book, Charlotte Klonk illuminates the role that images of terror have played from the 19th century to the present day. Examining concrete cases with the expert eye of an art historian, she analyses visual strategies, places them in their historical context, and goes on to answer pressing questions around the ethical treatment of images of terrorism. This book provides vital insight into our age old morbid fascination with terrorism.

        Japanese American Resettlement Through the Lens

        Hikaru Carl Iwasaki and the Wra's Photographic Section, 1943-1945

        by Lane Ryo Hirabayshi

        Lane Ryo Hirabayashi gathers a unique collection of photographs by War Relocation Authority photographer Hikaru Iwasaki, the only WRA photographer from the period still living. With substantive focus on resettlement -- and in particular Iwasaki's photos of Japanese Americans following their release from WRA camps from 1943 to 1945 -- Hirabayashi explores the WRA's use of photography in its mission not only to encourage "loyal" Japanese Americans to return to society at large as quickly as possible but also to convince Euro-Americans this was safe and advantageous. Hirabayashi also assesses the relative success of the WRA project, as well as the multiple uses of the photographs over time, first by the WRA and then by students, scholars, and community members in the present day. Although the photographs have been used to illustrate a number of publications, this book is the first sustained treatment addressing questions directly related to official WRA photographs. Under what conditions were they taken? How and where were they developed, selected, and stored? How were they used during the 1940s? What impact did they have during and following the war? By focusing on the WRA's Photographic Section, Japanese American Resettlement through the Lens makes a unique contribution to the body of literature on Japanese Americans during World War II.

        In Search of the Village Distilleries of Maramures

        A Romanian Odyssey

        by Ian Macilwain

        This photographic portrait of the Village fruit brandy distilleries of the remote inaccessible northernmost province of Romania has taken the author five years to complete. He first went to the neighbouring province of Transylvania in 1968 on a Honda 50. After a career in Psychiatry , he has specialised in the photography of Scottish malt whisky distilleries , producing several books, of which the best known is ‘Bottled History’.  He has found in Maramures a process remarkably similar to the family distilling tradition in Scotland which died out after 1820. The photographs capture the atmospheric interiors and the people who work in them.  The author tries to distil the essence of this deeply traditional place before it disappears for ever.

        Aestheticizing Public Space

        Street Visual Politics in East Asian Cities

        by Pan, Lu

        A photo collage of past and present street visuals in Asia, Aestheticizing Public Space explores the domestic, regional, and global nexus of East Asian cities through theirgraffiti, street art and other visual forms in public space. Attempting to unfold the complex positions of these images in the urban spatial politics of their respectiveregions, Lu Pan explores how graffiti in East Asia reflects the relationship between aesthetics and politics. The book situates itself in a contested dynamic relationshipamong human bodies, visual modernity, social or moral norms, styles, and historical experiences and narratives. On a broader level, this book aims to shed light on howaesthetics and politics are mobilized in different contested spaces and media forms, in which the producer and the spectator change and exchange their identities.

        71 DAYS IN WUHAN

        by Gu Wei

        Graduated from Nanjing University of the Arts in 2001.Joined Nanjing newspaper Modern Express as a photojournalist in 2001.Currently Chief Photojournalist at Modern Express, Gu Wei has worked in photojournalism for nearly two decades. He has covered the following key events: the fight against the SARS outbreak in 2003; the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake; the 2008 Beijing Olympics; the 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games; the 2019 Men’s Basketball World Championships; the campaign against COVID-19 in Wuhan in 2020. On April 8 2020, the Wuhan lockdown was lifted, 76 days after the city was closed off. It was also my 71st day in Wuhan reporting as a photojournalist for the ‘Epidemic Reporting Squad’ from Nanjing’s Modern Express.During this period, I posted content on my WeChat account nearly every day. Although the posts were personal and somewhat emotional, each was witness to a historical moment. And even though the camera lens had no voice, it still allowed history to be heard. As the photos was posted on WeChat, these snapshots became significant — so much so that they left us a mark of the times.
