Marina Abramovic has truly pioneered performance as a visual art
form. Her work - notorious for its feats of endurance, pain and
intense physical encounter - has pushed the boundaries of
contemporary art and cemented her reputation as one of the most
significant artists of the past 50 years. This book brings her
complete practice together into one concise and essential volume.

This is an seven-volume collection of primary texts, each selected
and introduced by experts, reproducing in facsimile a wealth of
materials related to the history of women and warfare in the
English-speaking world. The editors are historians and literary
scholars with a wealth of publications in women's writing and war
literature. The project focuses, for most of its historical range,
on England (and Britain); it also includes volumes on the United
States, Australia, and Canada. The collection documents women's
historical and literary participation in, and commentary on, war.
It represents the first attempt to examine the variety of roles
women have played in war, and as critics and commentators on war,
across all of history into the twentieth century. The project makes
a unique and powerful claim about the long history of women's
involvement in war in the English-speaking world
The art of the past can seem very far away, obscured both by time
and by knotty academic theory. Foregrounding the experience of the
contemporary viewer, Look Again shows how this need not be the
case. Ossian Ward's simple, ten-step programme acts as an aid to
looking, breaking down the often obscure strategies of the Old
Masters into intuitive categories - from Art as Honesty to Art as
Vision. Look Again's novel approach is influenced by John Berger's
Ways of Seeing, but is here updated for the art world of the 21st
century. Key to this book is an emphasis on ways of experiencing
Old Masters - more than just looking. Just as contemporary art
should be judged by how it moves us, cajoles us and envelops us, so
too can the great paintings of the world be seen as immersive,
captivating, even participatory experiences. Ward does not deny the
specific complexities and barriers associated with looking at art
from other eras. Instead he offers readers a new formula to help
illuminate this kind of art. His method not only provides the
viewer with the tools to interpret a work of art, but also assumes
that we hold some of this knowledge within ourselves already. In
other words, everyone can share the enriching experience of Old
Master paintings.

The roots of Hallowe'en lie in the ancient pre-Christian Celtic
festival of Samhain, a feast to mark the death of the old year and
the birth of the new. It was believed that on this night the veil
separating the worlds of the living and the dead grew thin and
ruptured, allowing spirits to pass through and walk unseen but not
unheard amongst men. The advent of Christianity saw the pagan
festival subsumed in All Souls' Day, when across Europe the dead
were mourned and venerated. Children and the poor, often masked or
in outlandish costume, wandered the night begging 'soul cakes' in
exchange for prayers, and fires burned to keep malevolent phantoms
at bay. From Europe, the haunted tradition would quickly take root
and flourish in the fertile soil of the New World. Feeding hungrily
on fresh lore, consuming half-remembered tales of its own shadowy
origins and rituals, Hallowe'en was reborn in America. The pumpkin
supplanted the carved turnip; costumes grew ever stranger, and
celebrants both rural and urban seized gleefully on the festival's
intoxicating, lawless spirit. For one wild night, the dead stared
into the faces of the living and the living, ghoulishly masked and
clad in tattered backwoods baroque, stared back. The photographs in
Haunted Air provide an extraordinary glimpse into the traditions of
this macabre festival from ages past, and form an important
document of photographic history. These are the pictures of the
dead: family portraits, mementos of the treasured, now
unrecognisable, other. Torn from album pages, sold piecemeal for
pennies and scattered, abandoned to melancholy chance and the hands
of strangers.
