Wir haben wieder neue seltsame Sinne gefunden, diesmal bei den Erbsen in Martas Garten.

In The Promise of Beauty (Duke UP, 2024), Mimi Thi Nguyen explores the relationship between the concept of beauty and narratives of crisis and catastrophe. Nguyen conceptualizes beauty, which, she observes, we turn to in emergencies and times of destruction, as a tool to identify and bridge the discrepancy between the world as it is and what it ought to be. Drawing widely from aesthetic and critical theories, Nguyen outlines how beauty—or its lack—points to the conditions that must exist for it to flourish. She notes that an absence of beauty becomes both a political observation and a call to action to transform the conditions of the situation so as to replicate, preserve, or repair beauty. The promise of beauty can then engender a critique of social arrangements and political structures that would set the foundations for its possibility and presence. In this way, Nguyen highlights the role of beauty in inspiring action toward a more just world. Mimi Thi Nguyen is Professor of Gender and Women's Studies at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Her first book, called The Gift of Freedom: War, Debt, and Other Refugee Passages, focuses on the promise of “giving” freedom concurrent and contingent with waging war (Duke University Press, 2012; Outstanding Book Award in Cultural Studies from the Association of Asian American Studies, 2014). She is also co-editor with Fiona I.B. Ngo and Mariam Lam of a special issue of positions: asia critique on Southeast Asian American Studies (20:3, Winter 2012), and co-editor with Thuy Linh Nguyen Tu of Alien Encounters: Pop Culture in Asian America (Duke University Press, 2007). Her papers have been solicited for the Feminist Theory Archive at Brown University. Her second book is called The Promise of Beauty, and she is part of an editorial collective with Patty Ahn, Michelle Cho, Vernadette Vicuna Gonzalez, Rani Neutill, and Yutian Wong for Bangtan Remixed: A Critical BTS Reader; both books are being published with Duke University Press in 2024. She has also published in Signs, Camera Obscura, The Funambulist, Women & Performance, positions, Radical History Review, and ArtForum. Najwa Mayer is an interdisciplinary cultural scholar of race, gender, sexuality, and Islam in/and the United States, working at the intersections of politics, aesthetics, and critical theory. She is currently a Society of Fellows Postdoctoral Scholar at Boston University. Learn more about your ad choices.

Artist, archivist, and educator Behzad Khosravi Nouri, and Richard Lackey from Fujifilm Middle East delve into Behzad's unique exhibition at Gulf Photo Plus, titled "The Life of an Itinerant Through a Pinhole," which explores his grandfather's photographic work in Tehran during the 1950s and 60s using a handcrafted camera. Richard explains Fujifilm's involvement in creating a giant walk-in camera obscura for the exhibition.

„Camera obscura“ heißt die neue Choreografie von Philippe Kratz. Der langjährige Tänzer der italienischen Vorzeigekompanie Aterbaletto hat sich am Mainzer Staatstheater mit dem Thema der täglichen Informationsflut beschäftigt. Die „Camera obscura“ steht dabei symbolisch für einen Rückzugsort, aber auch für einen Raum, in dem alle Informationen zusammenfließen. Diese Idee will Philippe Kratz in Bewegung umsetzen - kein einfaches Vorhaben.

The afikra podcast is back with a new season hosted by Mikey Muhanna. We kick off with an episode in partnership with Fujifilm and Gulf Photo Plus with Iranian academic, philosophical author, and artist Nadia Maftouni, who delves into the groundbreaking contributions of Ibn al-Haytham to modern science. Known as the father of modern optics, Ibn al-Haytham's extensive work on camera obscura, empirical science, and mathematics laid the foundation for future scientific advancements. Maftouni explores his methodology, significant works like the "Book of Optics," and how his concepts influenced later scholars such as German astronomer and mathematician Johannes Kepler. Additionally, Maftouni sheds light on Ibn al-Haytham's time under house arrest and his enduring impact on science and philosophy.00:00 Introduction01:34 Historical Background of Camera Obscura03:16 Ibn al-Haytham's Contributions to Optics04:50 Ibn al-Haytham's Methodology and Scientific Approach06:49 Ibn al-Haytham's Influence on Later Scientists07:51 House Arrest and Major Works12:07 Philosophical Views and Scientific Method16:19 Transmission of Knowledge to Europe17:45 Ibn al-Haytham's Legacy and Influence31:44 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsNadia Maftouni is an Iranian academic, philosopher, author, and artist.

In the Photographers' Gallery in London, there is a working camera obscura set up in a darkened space, through which you can rotate around a 360 degree view of the streets outside.  In this recording you can hear a video talking about how camera obscuras work, and the sound of the camera itself being rotated to throw different aspects of the view outside onto the screen. Recorded by Cities and Memory. 

In this episode of Visual Intonation, we dive into the world of Orobosa Ikponmwen, a Nigerian artist whose diverse talents span film and visual art. Orobosa's work is deeply rooted in African culture, blending contemporary influences with traditional storytelling. Whether she's starring in impactful film projects or creating thought-provoking visual art, her unique approach connects the past, present, and future of African identity. Her journey from Nigeria to international recognition speaks to her growing influence in the global arts scene, and her ability to navigate multiple mediums is a testament to her boundless creativity.  Orobosa's career as a director is one of the most exciting aspects of her growing artistic portfolio. In 2020, she wrote and directed 'Corona Belly', a Nigerian short film that marked her debut as a filmmaker. The film explores powerful themes, offering a fresh perspective on the global pandemic from a Nigerian lens. 'Corona Belly' established Orobosa not only as a talented actress but also as a visionary director with a strong voice in cinema. She's also directed 'BODMAS' and 'A Psalm for Abigail', two projects that showcase her ability to tackle complex narratives with depth and precision. In this episode, we explore her journey as a director, her approach to storytelling, and how her background influences the stories she chooses to tell.  Beyond her work in film, Orobosa's visual art is gaining significant attention for its innovative exploration of African aesthetics. Her art challenges traditional forms, offering bold and dynamic expressions of her cultural heritage. Orobosa's commitment to portraying her identity through her work is a central theme that runs through both her film and visual art. In this episode, we uncover the creative process behind her multidisciplinary approach and explore how she uses her platform to inspire, provoke thought, and shape the evolving global art landscape. Orobosa Ikponmwen's Website: https://orobosaikponmwen.com/Orobosa Ikponmwen's https://www.instagram.com/orobosa_ikp/Orobosa Ikponmwen's Twitter: https://x.com/orobosa_ikp?lang=enOrobosa Ikponmwen's LinkedIn: https://ng.linkedin.com/in/orobosaikponmwenOrobosa Ikponmwen's IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/it/name/nm14759136/Orobosa Ikponmwen's Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/orobosa.ikponmwen/Support the showVisual Intonation Website: https://www.visualintonations.com/Visual Intonation Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/visualintonation/Vante Gregory's Website: vantegregory.comVante Gregory's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/directedbyvante/ To support me on Patreon (thank you): patreon.com/visualintonations Tiktok: www.tiktok.com/@visualintonation Tiktok: www.tiktok.com/@directedbyvante

Hear about travel to Romania and Northern Hungary as the Amateur Traveler talks to Lisa VanderVeen about her recent Intrepid trip to the area. Why should you go to Romania? Lisa says, "Romania is much more than Dracula and Vlad Tepes, though I will confess that was my initial draw to the country. It's got a great diversity of landscape and a multi layered history going way, way back. And then also as recently as the, communist times. Lots of really interesting museums to visit." "In terms of the topography and the geography, it's just amazing. It's got beautiful towns the Maramures region has a history of weavings and just the colors, red, orange, pink, and blue with the haystacks dotting the rolling hills and the mountains in the backdrop are really stunning." "The Carpathian Mountains are moody and they're filled with lore and at the same time they feel a little bit like Switzerland. There's great beauty, great history, and wonderful food and wine in Romania." Here's the itinerary of the trip to Romania and Northern Hungary as described by Lisa: Budapest, Hungary: Start the trip in Budapest, Lisa's favorite European city, known for its architecture, the Danube River, the Fisherman's Bastion, and thermal baths. Eger, Hungary: Travel by train to Eger, a small town with Baroque architecture, a notable history of resisting the Ottomans, and a rich wine tradition. Explore the Castle of Eger and the Valley of Beautiful Women, known for its wine cellars. Visit the Basilica of St. John the Apostle and the Camera Obscura. ... https://amateurtraveler.com/travel-to-romania/ Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week, Chris is joined by Tracyanne Campbell of the Scottish indie pop band Camera Obscura to explore the creation of their fan-favorite 2006 single, "Lloyd, I'm Ready to Be Heartbroken." Tracyanne shares the story behind the song, a heartfelt response to Lloyd Cole & The Commotions' 1984 track "Are You Ready to Be Heartbroken?"—a band she had seen live as a child before she was familiar with their music. She also discusses the personal breakup that inspired the lyrics and how producer Jari Haapalainen pushed the band to make bold artistic choices during the recording process, including the introduction of strings. This episode offers a deep dive into the emotional and creative journey behind one of Camera Obscura's most beloved tracks.

A love affair with records has fueled Tracyanne Campbell for as long as she can remember: Before anyone else woke up in the morning as a kid, she'd already be spinning ELO; thanks to her grandmother, she became a devout listener of American country music and still has a profound memory of first hearing Tammy Wynette's groundbreaking "Stand By Your Man"; her mother even bought her a new 45 RPM single every weekend growing up -- spanning everything from Roxy Music to The Osmonds -- keeping her fervent curiosity alive. Fast forward to the mid-90's, and Tracyanne takes this bag of influences full-throttle, forming Camera Obscura. A band that's worn its AM radio influences proudly on its sleeve for nearly 30 years, they've created a rather timeless jangle that fits snugly between The Magnetic Fields and Carole King. The band's latest album -- Look to the East, Look to the West -- is available on Merge Records wherever music is sold. Visit camera-obscura.net for more info, social media and more.

Tracyanne Campbell of Camera Obscura has a superpower: she's able to write entire songs in her head before putting them to paper. If Campbell gets an idea and can't write it down immediately, she'll repeat the words over and over to herself until she can grab a pen and pencil. This superpower comes in handy when driving is an especially rich source of inspiration, as it is for Campbell. Camera Obscura's latest album Look to the East, Look to the West is out now on Merge Records.

Will and Craig discuss the latest releases by Whitelands, the Proctors, and Camera Obscura, plus live reports and bonus songs.

In this chat, we get to meet Tracyanne Campbell, the frontwoman of celebrated Scottish indie rock icons Camera Obscura. Back with their first album in over a decade, Look To The East, Look To The West, Camera Obscura have a lot to say now that they're back on the scene, and effortlessly prove that their return was worth the wait. In this talk, lead singer & songwriter Tracyanne and I discuss the new album at lenght, including some of its themes, its musicality, its production, and what led to them reconvening in the first place (turns out it had a lot to do with Belle And Sebastian's cruise ship music festival back in 2019). We also touch on some of the factors that contributed to their long absence, including the unfortunate passing of longtime keyboardist Carey Lander, back in 2015. It was such a pleasure to speak with someone I've listened to and looked up to for so long as a sharp and potent voice in music, and I'm so happy the band is back. Thank you for listening.

Plus, the Scottish band performs songs from their latest album, Look to the East, Look to the West.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Despite the hypervisibility of a constellation of female pop stars, the music business is structured around gender inequality. As a result, women in the music industry often seize on self-branding opportunities in fashion, cosmetics, food, and technology for the purposes of professional longevity. Extending Play: The Feminization of Collaborative Music Merchandise in the Early Twenty-First Century (Oxford UP, 2023) examines the ubiquity of brand partnerships in the contemporary music industry through the lens of feminized labor, to demonstrate how female artists use them as a resource for artistic expression and to articulate forms of popular feminism through self-commodification. In this book, author Alyxandra Vesey examines this type of promotional work and examines its proliferation in the early 21st century. Though brand partnerships exist across all media industries, they are a distinct phenomenon for the music business because of their associations with fan club merchandise, concert merchandise, and lifestyle branding, often foregrounding women's participation in shaping these economies through fan labor and image management. Through textual and discourse analysis of artists' songs, music videos, interviews, social media usage, promotional campaigns, marketing strategies, and business decisions, Extending Play investigates how female musicians co-create branded feminine-coded products like perfume, clothes, makeup, and cookbooks and masculine-coded products like music equipment as resources to work through their own ideas about gender and femininity as workers in industries that often use sexism and ageism to diminish women's creative authority and diminish the value of the recording in order to incentivize musicians to internalize the demands of industrial convergence. By merging star studies, popular music studies, and media industry studies, Extending Play proposes an integrated methodology for approaching contemporary cultural history that demonstrates how female-identified musicians have operated as both a hub for industrial convergence and as music industry professionals who use their extramusical skills to reassert their creative acumen. Alyxandra Vesey is Assistant Professor in Journalism and Creative Media at the University of Alabama. Her research focuses on the gendered dynamics of creative labor in the music industries. Her work has appeared in Journal of Cinema and Media Studies, Feminist Media Studies, Television and New Media, Journal of Popular Music Studies, Camera Obscura, Velvet Light Trap, and Emergent Feminisms: Complicating a Postfeminist Media Culture. Alyxandra on Twitter.

Als Keyboarderin Carey Lander 2015 an Knochenkrebs stirbt, war für Camera Obscura erst einmal Schluss. Vielleicht sogar für immer. Dann kommt vier Jahre später die Einladung für eine Konzert-Kreuzfahrttour – und für die schottische Twee-Pop-Institution beginnt unverhofft ein neues Kapitel. An Bord des von Belle & Sebastian organisierten «Boaty Weekenders» wird Sängerin Tracyanne Campbell schlagartig bewusst, dass die Musik ihrer Band eine grosse Bedeutung für unzählige Fans auf der ganzen Welt hat. Ein Erlebnis, das auch ihre Songwriting-Lust neu beflügelt. Letzten Freitag erschien mit «Look To The East, Look To The West» das erste Camera Obscura-Album seit elf Jahren. Und trotz des traurigen Hintergrunds ist es songmässig nur ein ganz kleines bisschen melancholischer ausgefallen als die ersten fünf Alben der Bandgeschichte.

The Free Design this week has a mix of new music and old school jams.

On today's episode, I talk to musician Tracyanne Campbell. Originally from Glasgow, Tracyanne founded Camera Obscura in 1996 with John Henderson and Gavin Dunbar.

On May 3rd, Merge Records will release Camera Obscura's latest album Look to the East, Look to the West, and folks, it's a banger!
