For decades, contemporary artworks with reflective properties have stimulated public forms of spectatorship. According to Cristina Albu, these artworks, which can include elements such as mirrors, live video feedback, or sensors, draw attention to affective interdependence and mechanisms of social control. In Mirror Affect, Albu provides a historical account of mirroring processes in contemporary art and offers insight into the phenomenological and sociopolitical concerns that have inspired artists to stage processes of affective, perceptual, and behavioral mirroring between art viewers. Beginning with the 1960s, Albu charts the rise of interpersonal modes of art spectatorship. She reveals contemporary artists’ strategic use of reflective and responsive interfaces to instill doubt in visual representation and appeal to active scrutiny of the changing social dynamics. She suggests that the mirroring processes envisioned by contemporary artists such as Joan Jonas, Dan Graham, Lynn Hershman Leeson, Olafur Eliasson, and Rafael Lozano-Hemmer trigger visual disjunctions to upset narcissistic inclinations. They invite viewers to see themselves in relation to others and to ponder their role within complex social systems.From sculpture and performance to art and technology projects, video art, and installation art, Mirror Affect analyzes forms of interpersonal spectatorship, revising and expanding current historiographies of participatory art.

Why are immigrants from Mexico and Latin America such an affectively charged population for political conservatives? More than a decade before the election of Donald Trump, vitriolic and dehumanizing rhetoric against migrants was already part of the national conversation. Situating the contemporary debate on immigration within America’s history of indigenous dispossession, chattel slavery, the Mexican-American War, and Jim Crow, Cristina BeltrÁn reveals white supremacy to be white democracy-a participatory practice of racial violence, domination, and exclusion that gave white citizens the right to both wield and exceed the law. Still, BeltrÁn sees cause for hope in growing movements for migrant and racial justice. Forerunners is a thought-in-process series of breakthrough digital works.

Description of the Book: It happens all over the world. The lights dim, the conductor raises his baton, the curtain rises, and soon, through the magic of theater, the audience is transported to another place and time. Every human sense is awakened to the magnificence of the sets and costumes, the spellbinding notes of the music, and the ethereal movements of dance. This experience is for everyone, not just for the artists who create it. And so it is with the story that is told in this book. Many books have been written about the history of dance. Nonetheless, readers will appreciate the broad historical significance of this book, despite its focus on a local ballet company. It will be surprising to discover how one ballet company that flourished in the often forgotten, westernmost tip of Texas could be so intertwined with major world events and with the advancement of the art of ballet across the world. The story begins in Nazi Germany, where a young girl spent her formative years training and performing with the Deutsche Oper in Berlin. Her love of her art and the excitement of her life on stage are set against the horrors of war. Compelling. When this German artist, Ingeborg Heuser, came to the U.S. as a "war bride" and later settled in El Paso, Texas, she was well prepared to fulfill her destiny as a highly acclaimed director, choreographer, and instructor of ballet. The first decade of her ballet company is chronicled in a straightforward, informal style, and readers will see many photos of the major characters and hear their own voices in the anecdotes and commentary they provided. Personal. For half a century, this ballet company thrilled audiences with ballet and opera productions that rivaled those of larger cities. Renowned guest artists from world-famous companies (The Ballets Russes, American Ballet Theatre, San Francisco Ballet, to name a few) not only performed with the local company but were also instrumental in its formation and later success. Extraordinary. An illustrated epilogue takes the reader to 2006, when the final production of the Nutcracker Ballet was presented at El Paso's historic Plaza Theater. Seven appendices detail over 100 company premi res, 40 years of Nutcracker performances, years of opera productions, and other topics of interest. If you are a dancer, it's possible you may know someone in the book. Former members of Heuser's company are spread far and wide throughout the world. If you are not a dancer, it's very likely that you will be entertained, educated, and perhaps inspired Softback, 200 pages (8.5 x 11), 250] images]
