Summary:
Since the fall of Communism, Russians have struggled to reconcile their social traditions with a flood of Western cultural imports. Contemporary Russian cinema has latched on to the resulting confusion and ambivalence, mining societal upheaval for revolutionary cinematic topics. Yana Hashamova explores this largely uncharted territory in Pride and Panic.

In ''Camera Geologica'' Siobhan Angus tells the history of photography through the minerals upon which the medium depends. Challenging the emphasis on immateriality in discourses on photography, Angus focuses on the inextricable links between image-making and resource extraction, revealing how the mining of bitumen, silver, platinum, iron, uranium, and rare earth elements(...)

Summary:
In ''Camera Geologica'' Siobhan Angus tells the history of photography through the minerals upon which the medium depends. Challenging the emphasis on immateriality in discourses on photography, Angus focuses on the inextricable links between image-making and resource extraction, revealing how the mining of bitumen, silver, platinum, iron, uranium, and rare earth elements is a precondition of photography. Photography, Angus contends, begins underground and, in photographs of mines and mining, frequently returns there. Through a materials-driven analysis of visual culture, she illustrates histories of colonization, labor, and environmental degradation to expose the ways in which photography is enmeshed within and enables global extractive capitalism. Angus places nineteenth-century photography in dialogue with digital photography and its own entangled economies of extraction, demonstrating the importance of understanding photography’s complicity in the economic, geopolitical, and social systems that order the world.

Summary:
"Staging the Moon: Resource extraction beyond Earth" is a publication of the Luxembourg Pavilion at the 18th International Architecture Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia 2023. It critically unpacks Luxembourg’s role in space-mining developments from the perspective of resources. Curators Francelle Cane and Marija Mari? transform the pavilion into a "lunar laboratory": a space for testing human technologies on the Moon that also doubles as a media studio "staging" corporate narratives of positive change. From the development of human settlements on the Moon to the mining of asteroids for rare minerals and metals, the wild imaginaries of extraction-driven growth have, quite literally, transcended the boundaries of Earth. This volume collects essays and fragments of research on the shifting of resource exploitation from the exhausted Earth to its celestial hinterland, and begins an urgent debate on the impact this shift will have on our understanding of land, resources and commons.

Summary:
Our global thirst for energy and raw materials is increasing all the time. Year after year, humanity exhausts large quantities of mineral resources; the areas of the world in which we drill and dig for oil, gas, coal, gravel, clay and ore are becoming more and more remote, and the range of resources demanded is expanding constantly.

Summary:
Our global thirst for energy and raw materials is increasing all the time. Year after year, humanity exhausts large quantities of mineral resources; the areas of the world in which we drill and dig for oil, gas, coal, gravel, clay and ore are becoming more and more remote, and the range of resources demanded is expanding constantly. Lusitania is a prime example of this kind of resource depletion. Unrestrained open-pit mining during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries has devastated the region, and ten years ago this "wounded landscape" became the subject of an International Building Exhibition dedicated to providing creative designs for a post-mining landscape. What are the possibilities of such landscapes? What methods and processes may be applied in regions beyond Lusatia? In Redesigning Wounded Landscapes, ten authors explore these questions, looking at the region and the project from a wide range of perspectives.

The photographs were taken across the globe and extend the oblique point of view he developed in ''Fernweh'' (2020). Interspersed among the images are texts that emerge like intimate signals from our age of crisis, mining further the exquisite linguistic control that characterizes Cole’s novels ''Open City'' (2011) and ''Tremor'' (2023). The result is a work of strange beauty that startles and consoles in equal measure.

This publication provides a new perspective on the cultural landscapes of mining across the province of Asturias in north-west Spain. These areas, after undergoing an intense process of industrialisation, have changed considerably within just a few decades. What were once natural valleys with rural economic and social structures came to host bustling, dense urban agglomerations. As a result, hybrid architectures have emerged, mutating artefacts which, despite the invisibility of their inevitable marginality, can offer interesting lessons in architecture today. Richly illustrated with photographs and diagrams, it features contributions from noted artists and architects.
