Alongside, authors consider case studies as diverse as the anti-war work done by John Lennon and Yoko Ono in Montreal and Toronto, recent exhibitions of activist art in Canadian institutions, radical films, performance art, protests against the Olympics, interventions into anti-immigrant sentiment in Montreal, and work by Iroquois photographer Jeff Thomas. Taken together, the writings in Imagining Resistance touch on the local, the global, the national, and post-national to imagine a very different landscape of cultural practice in Canada.

The Imagevirus spread like a virus, producing an image epidemic in urban spaces from Manhattan to Sydney. Bordowitz explores the virus as idea, as tactic, and as identity.

Summary:
It is with optimism, and a pioneering spirit that a man carries a cane and top hat into the wilderness. Like Philip Guston's "Poor Richard" drawings, the figures in Jason Logan's paintings are variations on an allegorical character: a man somewhere between a captain of industry and prospector, panning for gold along the cold line between the United States and Canada.(...)

Like Philip Guston's "Poor Richard" drawings, the figures in Jason Logan's paintings are variations on an allegorical character: a man somewhere between a captain of industry and prospector, panning for gold along the cold line between the United States and Canada. However the images convey respectability that is fraying and desperate. Logan's shabby magicians, hopeful gold diggers, greedy oilmen and gentlemen loggers illustrate the eternal pairing-off of reason and nature, set in the Canadian Pacific northwest.

Summary:
“In The Hunting Field is a collection of encounters that uses the figure of the hunter-trapper as a figurative and literal approach for looking at contemporary understandings of animal, nature, and environment in an ecological age where entities collide at scales massively distributed in space and time.” The figure of the hunter-trapper is used to draw attention to a significant intertwining with the biological world that shapes bodies and technology. It is not meant as an exhaustive signifier for a linear history but instead as an opportunity to survey encounters that shape these understandings and so inform our place in the world. Perhaps a reinterpretation of environmental aesthetics can provide openings for alternate shapes of future encounters…

Summary:
In the guise of diva Miss Chief Eagle Testikle, Kenneth Monkman takes camp aesthetics to new extremes of political disturbance. Setting queer against straight, and both these against his dual identity as a Canadian of Cree descent, Monkman aka Miss Chief revisits the way key events in North American history have been represented. Recent performances and installations featured outlandish versions of objects like Indian moccasins in museum displays, videos with tragicomic takes on Indians' as the other to colonists, and Monkman's own extraordinary paintings. Based on masterpieces of landscape and history art, these expose the repressions and fantasies grounding narratives of the winning of the West. Interpellations will be of exceptional interest to art historians and all those concerned with North American aboriginal civilization. Essays from acclaimed art historians Richard Hill, Jonathan Katz, and Todd Porterfield address issues central to Monkman's activity: among others, absurdist tactics, alternative models of time and history, the interplay of identity, sexuality, and sovereignty. A camp design with gilt-edge pages and ultra-rich color illustrations makes this book an ideal vehicle for presenting Miss Chief's rampages through art history.
