J. Fischer's Probing Arts and Emergent Futures. In this book, Fischer continues his investigation into artistic practices with a focus on documentary films and novels, and introduces three analytics to do so: pivots, knots, and hinges. For Fischer, "pivots" signals geopolitical spaces, like art markets and commissions, as places to think with; "knots" speak to feminist and intercultural knots in women-authored novels; and "hinges" as a counterpoint to the notion of an event, a persistent slow change that only retrospectively seems dramatic and that remains unfinished. At the Pivot of East and West draws widely from global arts with a focus on art from Singapore and Southeast Asia"--Provided by publisher.Experimental futures.Social change in literatureSocial change in motion picturesArts and societySoutheast AsiaAnthropology and the artsSoutheast AsiaSoutheast Asian literatureHistory and criticismDocumentary mass media and the artsSoutheast AsiaDocumentary filmsSoutheast AsiaHistory and criticismSocial change in literature.Social change in motion pictures.Arts and societyAnthropology and the artsSoutheast Asian literatureHistory and criticism.Documentary mass media and the artsDocumentary filmsHistory and criticism.Fischer Michael M.
