Transporting visions : the movement of images in early America / by Roberts, Jennifer L.,1969-(CARDINAL)351432;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 201-213) and index.Introduction : long-distance pictures -- Dilemmas of delivery in Copley's Atlantic -- Audubon's burden : materiality and transmission in the Birds of America -- Gathering moss : Asher B. Durand and the deceleration of landscape -- Epilogue : material visual culture.Transporting visions' follows pictures as they traveled through and over the swamps, forests, towns, oceans, and rivers of British America and the U.S. between 1760 and 1860. Taking seriously the complications involved in moving pictures through the physical world - the sheer bulk and weight of artworks, the long delays inherent in long-distance reception, the perpetual threat to the stability and mnemonic capacity of images, the uneasy mingling of artworks with other kinds of things in transit - Jennifer L. Roberts forges a model for a material history of visual communication in early America. Focusing on paintings and prints by John Singleton Copley, John James Audubon, and Asher B. Durand that were designed with mobility in mind, Roberts shows how an analysis of such imagery opens new perspectives on the most fundamental problems of early American commodity circulation, geographic expansion, and social cohesion.

During decades of sit-ins, marches, legal challenges, political campaigns, boycotts, and demonstrations, objects such as buttons, flyers, pins, and posters have been key in the fight against racism, oppression, and violence. Making the Movement presents more than 200 of these nonviolent weapons alongside the stories of the activists, organizations, and campaigns that defined and propelled the cause of civil rights. It is a must-read for anyone seeking to learn about Black and African American history in the United States and about strategies to combat racism and the structures that support it. -- Adapted from publisher's webpage.

Examining these structures as exemplary spaces of immersion and interactivity, Griffiths reveals the sometimes surprising: antecedents of modern media forms, suggesting the spectator's deepseated desire to become. Immersed in a virtual world. Shivers Down Your Spine demonstrates how immersive and interactive museum display techniques such as large video displays, reconstructed environments, and touch-screen computer interactives have redefined the museum space, fueling the opposition between public and private, science and spectacle, civic and corporate interests, voice and text, and life and death. In her remarkable study of sensual spaces, Griffiths explains why, for centuries, we keep coming back for more."--Jacket.
