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.At the Pivot of East and WestAnthropology and the artsSoutheast AsiaDocumentary mass media and the artsSoutheast AsiaArts and societySoutheast AsiaDocumentary filmsSoutheast AsiaHistory and criticismSoutheast Asian literatureHistory and criticismSocial change in motion picturesSocial change in literatureSOCIAL SCIENCE / Anthropology / Cultural & SocialbisacshLITERARY CRITICISM / Comparative LiteraturebisacshAnthropology and the artsDocumentary mass media and the artsArts and societyDocumentary filmsHistory and criticism.Southeast Asian literatureHistory and criticism.Social change in motion pictures.Social change in literature.SOCIAL SCIENCE / Anthropology / Cultural & SocialLITERARY CRITICISM / Comparative Literature306.4/70959SOC002010LIT020000bisacshFischer Michael M.
