This book outlines a geographically-informed method of evaluating
the emotional impact of museum exhibits. The authors have
personally developed the method they describe over several years of
working with the Museo Laboratorio della Mente in Rome and the
Melbourne Museum in Australia. Informed by non-representational
theories in cultural geography, this book offers solutions to
museum staff for how they might evaluate aspects of visitor
experience, such as emotions and embodied experience, which can be
very difficult to assess using conventional approaches.
Geopolitics is changing. The conduct of war and peace is being
transformed by our increasing dependence on visual images and
practices. Satellite surveillance, computer games, streaming video,
retinal scanning and mobile phone cameras are just some of the
technologies that are shaping contemporary geopolitics. From the
horrors of 9/11 and Abu Ghraib to the mechanical, mundane
functioning of airport biometrics, geopolitical truths are
established through a process of visual demonstration. Visual
culture has become part of the apparatus of persuasion. "Observant
States" brings together leading international authors to explore
the developing relationship between geopolitics and visual culture.
The result is a definitive contribution to a globally significant,
newly emergent field of enquiry. Contributors include: Louise
Amoore, Judith Butler, David Campbell, Sean Carter, James Der
Derian, Klaus Dodds, Emily Gilbert, Stephen Graham, Rachel Hughes,
K. Neil Jenkings, Timothy W. Luke, Fraser MacDonald, Derek P.
McCormack, Marcus Power, Alison J. Williams, Trish Winter, and
Rachel Woodward.
