Music, Social Media and Global Mobility
This book is about the relationship between media, communication and globalization, explored through the unique empirical study of electronic music practitioners’ use of the global social media: MySpace, Facebook, YouTube and Twitter. To understand the significance of the emerging nexus between social media and music in a global context, the book explores various aspects of production, distribution and consumption among electronic music practitioners as they engage with global social media, as well as a historical, political and economic exposition of the rise of this global social media environment. Drawing on interview-based research with electronic music artists, DJs, producers and mana...
Living Earth – Field Notes from Dark Ecology Project 2014 – 2016
This publication is a chronicle of Dark Ecology, a collaborative project between Sonic Acts and Norwegian curator Hilde Methi, held from 2014 to 2016 in different places around Norway and Russia. The project included research trips to the Barents Region: from Kirkenes and Svanvik in Norway, to Nikel, Zapolyarny and Murmansk in Russia. Inspired by Timothy Morton’s concept of ‘dark ecology’ and his philosophy of ‘ecology without Nature’, this publication rethinks the relationship between nature and art. Through a wide range of contributions, it addresses contemporary critical thought around the consequences of the Anthropocene, while also documenting and presenting the artistic work commissioned for Dark Ecology.

Co-Creating Tourism Research
Co-creation has become a buzzword in many social science disciplines, in business and in tourism studies. Given the prominence of co-creation, surprisingly little discussion has evolved around its implications for research practices and knowledge production as well as what challenges there are for fulfilling the promise of co-creation in tourism research. This book aims to contribute to this discussion by addressing how tourism research comes together as a collaborative achievement and by exploring different ways of collaborative knowledge production in tourism research. It is structured to offer, on one hand, an introduction to the ontological basis for collaborative research and, on the other hand, a set of empirical examples of how collaborative knowledge creation can inform tourism design, management, policy and education. The theoretical accounts and empirical cases of this book display how research collaborations can offer modest, local yet often impactful insights, traces and effects. It therefore will be of value for students, researchers and academics in tourism studies as well as the wider social sciences.
From Identity to Mondialisation
TheatreWorks is renowned for its daring, and sometimes controversial, productions. Since its inception the company has explored important social issues such as sexuality, censorship and oppression. The company also pioneered different types of productions; it introduced the black box theatre to Singapore and staged epic outdoor festivals in Fort Canning Park. This book, celebrating TheatreWorks 25th anniversary, charts the company’s evolution from a small theatre cooperative working from a terrace house to the well-respected innovator in the Singapore theatre community. From Identity to Mondialisation: TheatreWorks 25 is a stunning visual history of the company, featuring photography from many of TheatreWorks’ groundbreaking performances and quotes and anecdotes from members of the company, past and present.

Artistic Visions of the Anthropocene North
In the era of the Anthropocene, artists and scientists are facing a new paradigm in their attempts to represent nature. Seven chapters, which focus on art from 1780 to the present that engages with Nordic landscapes, argue that a number of artists in this period work in the intersection between art, science, and media technologies to examine the human impact on these landscapes and question the blurred boundaries between nature and the human. Canadian artists such as Lawren Harris and Geronimo Inutiq are considered alongside artists from Scandinavia and Iceland such as J.C. Dahl, Eija-Liisa Ahtila, Toril Johannessen, and Björk.
