Mika Rottenberg (English edition)
Author: Mika RottenbergPublisher: Art Book Magazine Distribution
ISBN: 2847111220
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 100
Book Description
Mika Rottenberg’s practice combines video, installations, drawings and sculptures. Many of her works portray absurd assembly-line situations in which work is often being carried out by women whose outsized, far from conventionally beautiful bodies are called into play both as tools and raw materials. Offering captivating narratives in which whimsicality and wit merge with weirdness, and reality morphs into fiction, Rottenberg’s films are presented in the context of immersive installations that plunge the viewer into their world—a world beyond the screen—in a blurring of the borders between the imagined and the real. Book Contents - “Down the Rabbit Hole or Through the Looking Glass?”: interview between Mika Rottenberg and Daria de Beauvais. - “Breaking the Bubble: Mika Rottenberg’s Industrial Attractions”: an essay by Amy Herzog. About the authors - Daria de Beauvais is a curator at the Palais de Tokyo. She curated Mika Rottenberg’s solo show. - Amy Herzog is a media historian.

Operating at the intersection of history, anthropology, and law, this book reveals the unacknowledged but central role of race in the definition of French nationality.

Rethinking Labour in Africa, Past and Present
Author: Lynn SchlerPublisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1317986318
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 162
Book Description
This book offers a broad range of perspectives on major transformations in the research of labor in Africa contexts over the last twenty years. This is a groundbreaking work by social scientists and historians; adopting innovative paradigms in the study of African laborers, working classes and economies, it moves away from stringent Marxist perspectives towards more localized and fluid conceptions of materiality and productivity. Against the backdrop of increasing mobility of labor and capital, the authors demonstrate the need for a simultaneous consideration of local, national and transnational contexts. The collection of essays provides multiple perspectives on how African workers have negotiated changes and exploited opportunities in increasingly globalized workplaces, while at the same time confronting the impact of global capitalist expansion on local settings in Africa. This book was previously published as a Special Issue of African Identities.
