This episode captures (the beginning of) a conversation between cultural studies scholar Magda Szcześniak (University of Warsaw) and historian Jan Tomasz Gross (emeritus, Princeton University) who – while studying Polish contemporary history during the past decades – published a book co-authored by Stephen Kotkin on "uncivil society" in 2010. It offered a powerful explanation for the implosion of communism in 1989. Not long ago, we witnessed an election defeat of a non-communist authoritarian regime in Poland and are observing a tough and twisted process of dismantling that regime. The discussion is initiated and moderated by János Mátyás Kovács (senior researcher, RECET). Jan T. Gross studies modern Europe, focusing on comparative politics, totalitarian and authoritarian regimes, Soviet and East European politics, and the Holocaust. After growing up in Poland and attending Warsaw University, he immigrated to the United States in 1969 and earned a Ph.D. in sociology from Yale University (1975). His first book, Polish Society under German Occupation, appeared in 1979. Revolution from Abroad (1988) analyzes how the Soviet regime was imposed in Poland and the Baltic states between 1939 and 1941. Neighbors (2001), which was a finalist for the National Book Award. He joined the Princeton History Department in 2003 after teaching at New York University, Emory, Yale, and universities in Paris, Vienna, and Krakow. Professor Gross is the Norman B. Tomlinson ‘16 and ‘48 Professor of War and Society, emeritus. Magda Szcześniak is Assistant Professor of Cultural Studies at the Institute of Polish Culture, University of Warsaw. Author of Normy widzialnosci. Tozsamosc w czasach transformacji [Norms of Visuality. Identity in Times of Transition, 2016] and Poruszeni. Awans i emocje w socjalistycznej Polsce [Feeling Moved. Upward Mobility and Emotions in Socialist Poland, 2023].

Melancholy Wedgwood (MIT Press, 2024) is an experimental biography of the ceramics entrepreneur Josiah Wedgwood that reveals the tenuous relationship of eighteenth-century England to late-capitalist modernity. It traces the multiple strands in the life of the ceramic entrepreneur Josiah Wedgwood (1730–1795) to propose an alternative view of eighteenth-century England's tenuous relationship to our own lives and times, amid the ruins of late-capitalist modernity. Through intimate vignettes and essays, and in writing at turns funny, sharp, and pensive, Iris Moon chips away at the mythic image of Wedgwood as singular genius, business titan, and benevolent abolitionist, revealing an amorphous, fragile, and perhaps even shattered life. In the process the book goes so far as to dismantle certain entrenched social and economic assumptions, not least that the foundational myths of capitalism might not be quite so rosy after all, and instead induce a feeling that could only be characterized as blue. Iris Moon is Associate Curator in the European Sculpture and Decorative Arts Department at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. She is the author of Luxury after the Terror and coeditor with Richard Taws of Time, Media, and Visuality in Post-Revolutionary France. She teaches at the Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art. Rachel Pafe is a writer and researcher interested in modern Jewish thought, critical theories of mourning, and the boundaries of biographical writing. Learn more about your ad choices.

Seminar with Nicole R. Fleetwood, inaugural James Weldon Johnson Professor of Media, Culture, and Communication at New York University. Contemporary black diasporic art and the American carceral system are two focal points of Fleetwood's research. In the seminar, she explores the multiple temporalities that impact the lives of incarcerated people and their loved ones. Carceral time is a broad framework that encompasses sentencing guidelines, the disparate temporalities that separate incarcerated and nonincarcerated people, the afterlife of imprisonment (such as parole and e-incarceration), and the long duration of racialized captivity and erasure in settler nation states. The seminar will focus specifically on how carceral time restructures Black intimacy and quotidian life. Nicole R. Fleetwood is the inaugural James Weldon Johnson Professor of Media, Culture, and Communication at NYU, and the author of a number of books: Troubling Vision: Performance, Visuality, and Blackness (2011); On Racial Icons: Blackness and the Public Imagination (2015) and the price winning Marking Time: Art in the Age of Mass Incarceration (2020). In connection with the latter book, she also curated an exhibition on the same topic at MoMA PS1, New York.
Jenna Grant is a cultural anthropologist from the University of Washington and author of Fixing the Image: Ultrasound and the Visuality of Care in Phnom Penh, published by University of Washington Press in 2022. Introduced in Phnom Penh around 1990, at the twilight of socialism and after two decades of conflict and upheaval, ultrasound took root in humanitarian and then privatized medicine. Services have since multiplied, promising diagnostic information and better prenatal and general health care. In Fixing the Image Jenna Grant draws on years of ethnographic and archival research to theorize the force and appeal of medical imaging in the urban landscape of Phnom Penh. Set within long genealogies of technology as tool of postcolonial modernity, and vision as central to skilled diagnosis in medicine and Theravada Buddhism, ultrasound offers stabilizing knowledge and elicits desire and pleasure, particularly for pregnant women. Grant offers the concept of "fixing"--which invokes repair, stabilization, and a dose of something to which one is addicted--to illuminate how ultrasound is entangled with practices of care and neglect across different domains. Fixing the Image thus provides a method for studying technological practice in terms of specific materialities and capacities of technologies--in this case, image production and the permeability of the body--illuminating how images are a material form of engagement between patients, between patients and their doctors, and between patients and their bodies.

Dieter Reinisch is a Government of Ireland Irish Research Council Fellow in the School of Political Science and Sociology, University of Galway, and an Adjunct Professor in International Relations at Webster University, Campus Vienna. He holds a PhD in History from the European University Institute in Florence). Since 2016, he serves on the editorial board of the academic, open-access journal Studi irlandesi: A Journal of Irish Studies, published by Florence University Press. In addition to his new book on republican prisoners in Ireland, he is the co-editor (with Luisa Passerini) of Performing Memory: Corporeality, Visuality, and Mobility after 1968 published with Berghahn Books, and Irish Republican Counterpublic: Armed Struggle & the Construction of a Radical Nationalist Community in Northern Ireland, co-edited with Anne Kane and published with Routledge. In this interview, he discusses his new book, Learning Behind Bars: How IRA Prisoners Shaped the Peace Process in Ireland (University of Toronto Press, 2022), which uncovers the everyday life and education of IRA prisoners during the Troubles in Northern Ireland. Learning behind Bars is an oral history of former Irish republican prisoners in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland between 1971, the year internment was introduced, and 2000, when the high-security Long Kesh Detention Centre/HM Prison Maze closed. Dieter Reinisch outlines the role of politically motivated prisoners in ending armed conflicts as well as the personal and political development of these radical activists during their imprisonment. Based on extensive life-story interviews with Irish Republican Army (IRA) ex-prisoners, the book examines how political prisoners developed their intellectual positions through the interplay of political education and resistance. It sheds light on how prisoners used this experience to initiate the debates that eventually led to acceptance of the peace process in Northern Ireland. Politically relevant and instructive, Learning behind Bars illuminates the value of education, politics, and resistance in the harshest of social environments.

Speaker: Joan Judge, Professor, Department of History, York University What can we learn from intellectual detritus? Focusing on cheap print, vernacular daily-use knowledge, and common readers in the Long Republic (1895-1955), this talk argues that the books an age discards as slipshod and unscientific, and the readers it disparages as superstitious and ignorant, comprise the broad epistemic terrain from which historical change is actualized. Premised on the notion that what we currently know about China's iconic 20th-century revolutions does not explain enough, it shifts our attention from innovation to ingenuity, from “knowledge what” to “knowledge how,” from the momentous to the mundane—without losing sight of the momentous. The talk first introduces a project on “China's Mundane Revolution” that is based on some 500, largely unstudied, daily-use texts, together with material gathered from the interstices of various archives. It then zeros in on one of the “how to” topics in the study: “how to treat a cholera infection.” Examining the ways individual common readers might have approached “the most spectacular ‘new' disease of the nineteenth century,” the example highlights the dynamic processes of scientizing vernacular and vernacularizing scientific forms of knowledge. It also raises questions about the ways these processes align—or misalign—with the various iterations of mass politics in this critical period. Joan Judge is a 2021 Guggenheim Fellowship, member of the Royal Society of Canada and a Professor in the Department of History at York University in Toronto, Canada.She is the author of Republican Lens: Gender, Visuality, and Experience in the Early Chinese Periodical Press (University of California Press, 2015), The Precious Raft of History: The Past, the West, and the Woman Question in China (Stanford University Press, 2008), Print and Politics: ‘Shibao' and the Culture of Reform in Late Qing China (Stanford University Press, 1996), and co-editor of Women Warriors and National Heroes: Global Histories (Bloomsbury Academic, 2020), Women and the Periodical Press in China's Global Twentieth Century: A Space of Their Own? (Cambridge University Press, 2018), and Beyond Exemplar Tales: Women's Biography in Chinese History (University of California Press, 2011). She is currently engaged in an SSHRC-funded project, China's Mundane Revolution: Cheap Print, Vernacular Knowledge, and Common Reading in the Long Republic, 1894–1955. This presentation is part of the Modern China Lecture Series, hosted by Professor Arunabh Ghosh.
This episode of Ask The Expert was originally recorded live on March 3rd, 2021 In virtual meetings, how often do you get distracted by a phone notification, an important email, or anything else that might take your attention away from the session? At ImageThink, we hear this request a lot from meeting organizers and planners, and we work tirelessly to keep everybody involved and engaged. For this month's Ask the Experts, Nora sat down with visual facilitators Mara and Sven from Visuality, who are also bombarded with requests to keep sessions on point, interesting, and engaging. In their talk with Nora, Mara and Sven discuss how they retain audience engagement without being silly, what they've learned since the start of the pandemic, and they provide sage advice on creating interaction for the audience, which in turn, helps the speaker get a reading of the room. To see Nora's entire conversation with Sven and Mara or to see our Visual Strategist's capture, go to ImageThink.net/events If you would like to connect with Mara and Sven from Visuality, please go to Visuality.eu This session was recorded on LinkedIn Live, and questions were submitted through the chat and emailed to ImageThink at ask@imagethink.net Are you ready to captivate attendees and elevate your virtual meetings?

In this episode of the Shingo Principles Podcast, we hear from Dr. Gwendolyn Galsworth with Visual Thinking Inc, two-time Shingo Publication Award recipient, and Shingo Faculty Fellow as she shares concepts and practical actions that she uses to operationalize respect through Work That Makes Sense/Operator-Led Visuality.Key topics covered in this podcast include:Anchoring respectStarting in the training roomHarnessing the powerDelivering stretch contentDoing your homework and Defining and reframing inertia and resistanceTo learn more about the Shingo Model and how it can help organizations improve their culture and achieve the results they desire, please visit: http://shingo.org.
Does it surprise you to learn that operator-led visuality is not a team-based methodology? Not at first. At first, it strengthens the individual—both in skill and identity. Listen as visual expert, Gwendolyn Galsworth, explains how, when visuality liberates information, it also liberates the human will. This is an outcome that is unique to the visual workplace. It is, also, an indispensable requirement for letting the workplace speak—through people. You can never gain and hold on to the 15%-30% increase in productivity that Galsworth promises—and delivers—if you don’t make room for that part of your employees they leave in their cars, with the window slightly cracked, so it will be there when they clock out at the end of their shift: their will. Visuality invites that part to join in: to participate, express, contribute, and invent visual solutions—many never been seen on the planet before. Does this happen overnight? Rarely, but in operator-led visuality, it does happen. Guaranteed.
What if every CEO, manager and supervisor commit to the single cultural outcome of making every employee a hero in their own eyes? What would change as a result? What would have to change? And how would that happen? Join us this week as your host and visual expert, Gwendolyn Galsworth, describes how visuality is designed to make every employee a hero at wo—and why this s a core outcome to your journey to operational excellence. In each of us is a deep and abiding need to contribute—a longing to create something of value and share it. Not just in our everyday lives but also at work. Especially at work. There is a hero within—the desire to master and excel. Because visuality is, at its core, a language that is meaningful, practical, and I-driven, it ready for this challenge, prepared to assist every boss make the following part and parcel of their job description: to ensure people at work become heroes in their own eyes. Tune in/Learn more. Let the workplace speak.
A good legal picture tells more than a 1000 words. That’s why visuality is a central feature of legal design. Where legal pictures can communicate legal information so efficiently that collective understanding of the key issues is created within seconds, unclear text-only legal documents can leave parties disputing over different interpretations of them for years. Visuality, however, is still rare in legal communication. The future of law does look brighter though, as there are signals towards a visual and even audiovisual and multisensory design of law. Our guest in this episode is Dr. Colette R. Brunschwig. She works as a Senior Research Associate at the Legal Visualization Unit, Department of Law, University of Zurich, Switzerland. We consider her as a true pioneer of legal design: she has been exploring the visual, audiovisual and multisensory design of legal or legally relevant content since the 1990’s. She tells us when and why legal design originated in her mind, what her initial understanding of legal design was, and how she currently conceptualizes it. Colette R. Brunschwig also conveys us how she has been contributing to spreading legal design. We also discuss the differences between visual law and legal design, the role of legal visualizations and humanoid robots as potential legal designers.

What happens when supervisors use metrics that drive—instead of measures that merely monitor? This week, Gwendolyn Galsworth (host/visual expert) shares the telling difference as part of her Visual Leadership series. The focus? The role of supervisors and managers as leaders of improvement. Too many managers falsely believe that posting KPIs on a dashboard will trigger improvement. They are wrong. When they deploy visual metrics instead, they illuminate cause, build local ownership of the problem, and use those metrics to drive us down the causal chain—the natural bridge to visual problem solving (VPS). Traditional PS organizes the noise around a problem. VPS doggedly pursues cause in the nested, multi-layered construct where cause resides. There is no silver bullet solution. Listen as Gwendolyn also shares her perspectives on—and experiences with—CEDAC®, ScoreBoarding, Rolls-Royce/Aerospace, Sheldalh, and Sumitomo’s great practitioner, Dr. Ryuji Fukuda. Let the workplace speak.
Lean is capable of improving the operational profile of so many companies and fast. Yet we ask: When lean turn arounds are so rapid, can culture be transformed as well? While it is imaginable, for most companies it is unlikely. And while many techniques impact the work cultural, none in the view of host and visual expert, Gwendolyn Galsworth, is more powerful than visuality in transforming a work culture completely and sustainably. This week Gwendolyn launches the first show in her Visual Leadership series and describes how visuality does it. Hear how and why her visual approach engenders fierce commitment and very personal expression. Learn how visuality creates connectivity in an enterprise, even tough ones. Understand the power of margin that slightest bit of internal personal space that can and does liberate human potential and trigger a spirited, engaged and unified workforce. Learn for yourself, why she says: Visuality doesn't just support an aligned work culture. It creates it.
Policy-makers and researchers are daily confronted by violent images that influence how complex political problems are seen and consequently understood. From bodycam footage revealing acts of police brutality, to media coverage of the catastrophic impact of the refugee crisis, depictions of violence and horror spread at startling speed through social media platforms, drawing out powerful emotional responses from public and policymaker alike. In the last episode of Undercurrents before the summer break, Ben speaks to three academics whose work explores the connections between violent images and politics. Dr Helen Berents explains how images of suffering children are deployed in political debates around interventions. Dr Stefanie Fishel shows how horror movies provide a space for understanding public responses to apocalyptic events such as nuclear war or global pandemics. Dr Constance Duncombe then discusses how social media platforms accelerate the spread of violent images, and the effects this has on policy responses.
