in the wake of walter benjamin's 'unfinished' thinking structures, this volume operates through contiguous directions, transitions and regressions, incorporating images as part of the discussion of a ruinous visuality. its polycentric mesh covers a wide range of art, writing, photography and film: from ritual uses of the 'darksome' and its legacies in pre-hispanic cultures to colonial religious iconography of penitential blindness; from narco-noir in the novels of roberto bola o and yuri herrera to techno-noir in dystopian border films; from the quotidian taxonomy of horror expurgated in art practice to the haunted 'other darkness' of the photographic blink. it also explores how we can contest the threat of dark ecology and 'horrorism' through sense expansion within new media and by positing fruitful blind spots in text and art.
(来源indie) (2)'>these essays by critics, theorists and artists explore the allusive nexus of the dark in contemporary mexican literature and visual culture. they chart the poetics of 'negrura-oscuridad' in creative media during decades of deepening crisis marked by the high-profile staging of atrocities, the re-emergence of an ironic noir aesthetic and the consolidation of forensically inspired art-making.

(来源indie) (2)the battle of leyte gulf was the greatest naval engagement in history. the battle was four separate actions, none of which were fought in the gulf itself, and the result was the destruction of japanese naval power in the pacific. this book is a detailed and comprehensive account of the fighting from both sides. it provides the context of the battle, most obviously in terms of japanese calculations and the search for "a fitting place to die" and "the chance to bloom as flowers of death." using japanese material never previously noted in western accounts, h. p. willmott provides new perspectives on the unfolding of the battle and very deliberately seeks to give readers a proper understanding of the importance of this battle for american naval operations in the following month. this careful interrogation of the accounts of "the last fleet action" is a significant contribution to military history.
