A Letter Sent,Waiting to be Received: Queer Correspondence,Feminism and Black British Art

Abstract

This article examines what the published letter does as a form that is both intimate and public, and how it is particularly resonant when dealing with the silences and absences around queer and feminist artist of colour histories. Connections are made between three letters published in feminist and queer journals and books, written for readers who may include the writers’ loved ones, friends, contemporaries, and future readers. These three letters are contained within the following publications: Surviving Art School (2016) by the group Collective Creativity, a QTIPOC artist group who made the publication as part of a wider project examining the history of Black British Art (members are: Evan Ifekoya, Raisa Kabur, Rudy Lowe and Raju Rage); a special issue of FAN (Feminist Arts News) edited by Lubaina Himid and Maud Sulter in 1988, the precursor to the more well-known collection Passion, edited by Sulter in 1990; ending with Himid's recent reflections on her curation in the 1980s through a series of ‘Letters to Susan’ published in the 2011 catalogue for the exhibition Thin Black Line(s) at Tate Britain. Through close examination of these examples, this article explores the particularities of the letter form, asking if it allows feminist and queer artists of colour to present their experiences in a manner that encourages all their readers to take part in the conversation, whilst prioritizing calls for other people of colour to respond. The article proposes that the published letter form keeps feminist histories alive and creates a counterpublic that speaks to and for a community that is imagined as both geographically and temporally diffuse.     

影视艺术教育建构大学生审美价值观的路径

"读图时代"的到来使大学生审美价值观受到了以娱乐化、世俗化、庸俗化为代表的泛审美观念的影响。影视艺术教育作为审美教育的一部分,以其特有的形式在构建当代大学生审美价值观的过程中发挥了主力军作用。建构大学生审美价值观的路径:一是"筑"结构,"转"思维;二是安好"探照灯",做好"守门人";三是"两个相关教育"齐手抓。     

The Holocaust Through Latvia's Eyes: How the Nazi Party Became the Lesser of Two Evils

Internationalization of exhibitions creates cost structure distortion. What costs are being reduced thanks to international collaboration in the museum field? To determine the profitability of the model, international strategies are analyzed with two exhibitions—“Matisse, Cézanne, Picasso…the Stein Adventure,” coproduced by the Réunion des Musées Nationaux–Grand Palais organization, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and “Masterpieces from the Musée National Picasso, Paris,” exhibited in major museums such as Centro de Arte Reina Sofia in Madrid, the Hermitage in Saint Petersburg, or the Seattle Museum of Art.     

民间文艺著作权保护的现实可行路径之思考

民间文艺的著作权保护不应囿于理论瓶颈，可转变思维，本着实用主义，首先从对代表性传承人的著作权保护入手，传承人享有了著作权保护，就意味着民间文艺实际也得到了著作权的有效保护；其次，代表性传承人以外的本国传承传播者的著作权保护也是对民间文艺有效保护的途径之一；最后，政府应承担对民间文艺著作权保护的重任，这与著作权制度并不违背。     

青年与艺术审美浅论

艺术作为艺术家对现实生活创造性反映的产物,能唤起青年对审美理想的追求,激发青年的创造力,使青年获得艺术的关感和深刻的启迪,为此,要重视青年的审美教育,鼓励他们进行艺术创造.     

论领导艺术的本质特征

多年来,领导艺术被披上一层神秘的面纱。创造性、非规范性、经验性不能揭示领导艺术的真实意义。领导艺术的真谛应该是顺应人性、见识高明、审时度势、简约有效。抓住这四个本质特征,对于把握领导艺术的众多具体内容有着提纲挈领的作用。     

略论警察摄影及其教育

警察摄影是指警察用照相机拍摄与警务工作相关的影像的过程和以警察为题材的摄影作品。警察摄影按题材可以分为警察实用摄影、警察新闻摄影、警察艺术摄影和警察纪实摄影四大类。当前我国的警察摄影主要以警察实用摄影为主，对警察新闻、艺术、纪实摄影长期以来缺乏较为系统地理论研究和摄影教育。这是我国警察摄影教育中的一大盲区。警察摄影应该是全方位的警察摄影，警察摄影教育应该是全面的摄影教育。警察摄影理论的完备应该成为警察摄影教育发展的基础。     

Geoengineering the climate and ethical challenges: what we can learn from moral emotions and art

ABSTRACT

Climate change is an urgent problem, requiring ways and approaches to address it. Possible solutions are mitigation, adaptation and deployment of geoengineering. In this article we argue that geoengineering gives rise to ethical challenges of its own. Reflecting on these ethical challenges requires approaches that go beyond conventional, quantitative methods of risk assessment. Quantitative methods leave out important ethical considerations such as justice, fairness, autonomy and legitimacy. We argue that emotions and art can play an important role in ethical deliberation about geoengineering. Emotions can point out what morally matters. We also examine the role that works of art can play. Recently, artists have become involved with risky technologies. We argue that such artworks can contribute to emotional-moral reflection and public deliberation on geoengineering, by making abstract problems more concrete, letting us broaden narrow personal perspectives, exploring new scenarios, and challenging our imagination.
