Orbis Africa Journal
The Orbis Africa Journal is a new publishing platform that aims to foster discussion about the African world and its diaspora. Starting with rock art on the African continent over thirty thousand years ago, our journey extends to creating graphic writing systems in the modern era in the Americas. By recognizing Africa as a central subject across disciplines, we can better understand its foundations and appreciate the unique ways in which the African intellectual legacy intersects with our world. We believe that to understand history, philosophy, art history, archaeology, anthropology, visual culture, and literature from both the recent and distant past, it is essential to study them in relation to Africa. As a platform, the journal will evaluate African contributions and analyze the perspectives of African knowledge on contemporary issues. By doing so, it becomes feasible to use this knowledge to improve our ability to ask better questions about individuals and society.

Surrealism and Animation
From Betty Boop to Donald Duck, Tex Avery to Walt Disney, collage animation to Japanese anime, and Claymation to 3D animation, Surrealism and Animation is the first book to identify correspondences between the art of animation and the International Surrealist Movement. Sharing a deep commitment to a reanimation of everyday life, surrealist artists and animators sought a marvellous, living form of art. Cartoons and trick films by pioneers such as Georges M矇li癡s were influential for Salvador Dal穩 and Andr矇 Breton, among others; many other surrealists and their associates such as Max Ernst, Joseph Cornell, Hans Richter, Len Lye, Roland Topor, Jan Svankmajer, and Lawrence Jordan turned to animated cinema and theories of animacy to express their surrealist visions. Surrealism and Animation is the first book devoted to surrealism's vivid engagement with the history, theory, and medium of animation on a transnational basis. Featuring seventeen essays by leading and emerging scholars, as well as interviews with contemporary artists Penny Slinger and Jacolby Satterwhite, this collection investigates a shimmering range of topics on animated surrealism, including black humour, queer subjectivities, ecofeminism, Black surrealisms, and more.

Barbarian Currents
Contemporary art and media art do not exist in separate worlds. In 20th century Brazil technology was a key element of artistic imagination. Oswald de Andrade, the father of Brazilian 'cannibal' modernism, envisioned the Americas as a cradle of a new society populated by technicised barbarians. The country's post-war avant-gardes embraced computers and electronic media as transformative forces, capable of realising the promise of a nation in search of its modern identity. Barbarian Currents explores this history through a sociological lens, examining the many intriguing circumstances that have shaped the new forms of cultural and artistic expression. This pioneering anthology brings together the voices of artists, critics and curators who played a pivotal role in the emergence of technological arts in post-war Brazil. The documents, most of which have been translated into English for the first time, remind us that 'alternative' art histories are simply the flipside of dominant narratives. They encourage us to look beyond the lens of Western exceptionalism and reframe our understanding of cultural histories worldwide.

Wonders

The mystique of what lay beneath the surface of the vast oceans inspired awe in aquarium enthusiasts, Decadent artists, and authors, including Jules Verne and Hans Christian Andersen. Ever since, books, films and visual arts have invited us to contemplate the sea as both the wellspring of all life and a resolutely alien world. Wonders - A Literary History of the Deep Sea recalls the era of undersea telegraph cables and the heyday of the aquarium. It presents mermaids, octopuses and jellyfish and explores some of the many works of art that conceptualise undersea marvels or dream of vanishing ecstatically into the depths, into this other element. It is the story of how we imagine life was formed underwater and on our planet. It is about the historical basis for our modern perception of the sea and a call to action before the fantastic creatures with whom we have only just begun to become acquainted disappear forever.

The Sound of the English Picturesque
Revealing the connections between the veneration of national landscape and eighteenth-century English vocal music, this study restores English music's relationship with the picturesque. In the eighteenth century, the emerging taste for the picturesque was central to British aesthetics, as poets and painters gained popularity by glorifying the local landscape in works concurrent with the emergence of native countryside tourism. Yet English music was seldom discussed as a medium for conveying national scenic beauty. Stephen Groves explores this gap, and shows how secular song, the glee, and national theatre music expressed a uniquely English engagement with landscape.Using an interdisciplinary approach, Groves addresses the apparent 'silence' of the English picturesque. The book draws on analysis of the visualisations present in the texts of English vocal music, and their musical treatment, to demonstrate how local composers incorporated celebrations of landscape into their works. The final chapter shows that the English picturesque was a crucial influence on Joseph Haydn's oratorio The Seasons. Suitable for anyone with an interest in eighteenth-century music, aesthetics, and the natural environment, this book will appeal to a wide range of specialists and non-specialists alike.

Ju Ming
Published in commemoration of Ju's first exhibition at the National Art Museum of China--also the first Taiwanese to ever stage an art exhibition in China, this publication boasts a collection of Ju Ming's famed Taichi and Taichi Arch series, a representative series of works because it displays the artist's consummate skills and originality in sculpture art. This book includes prefaces by art historian Michael Sullivan and Director of the National Art Museum of China Fan Di'an. It is written by Dr Zhu Qi, Cultural Counsellor of Embassy of The People's Republic of China in Singapore.
