Photography / Intensity / Measure

Call for Book Chapters

Questions of measurement, and how it shapes or is problematized by photography, have become increasingly important in recent years. This has been provoked by the development and consolidation of digital networked imaging technologies, the massive expansion of social media, advances in machine learning, the sheer scale of image datasets, and the development of AI imaging platforms. Novel forms such as Point Cloud, Giga-pixel and Light-Field imaging, to mention just a few, have challenged accepted ideas of measure and how they structure the visual.

Call for Chapters: Critical Sociocultural Examinations of Gender Discrimination and Persecution

CALL FOR BOOK CHAPTERS

 

Spiced Histories: Cartographing Food, Culture, and Conflict in South Asia

Food is never just about sustenance. It is a charged cultural text, a site of memory and mourning, a marker of identity, a terrain of negotiation, and often, a weapon of exclusion or resistance. In South Asia—a region defined by deep pluralities, histories of colonialism, persistent socio-economic inequalities, and enduring spiritual traditions—food emerges not merely as a necessity, but as a powerful index of social structure, affective life, and ideological formation.

          It is widely known that ideologies of racism, nationalism, and xenophobia are dangerous and spread all over the world. We want to examine these terms as much as possible, from many perspectives and variable aspects: in politics, society, psychology, culture, and many more. We also want to devote considerable attention to how the phenomena of racism, nationalism and xenophobia are represented in artistic practices: in literature, film, theatre or visual arts.​
