Salt and the National Imaginary: The Photojournalism of the Dandi Satyagraha
(Routledge Taylor & Francis Group, 2023) deCourcy, Elisa; Taylor, Miles
This article looks at how Gandhi used the Dandi Salt Satyagraha as a site for imagining anti-colonial nationalism. We focus on the visual dimensions of the Salt March and the divergent ways in which it was reported in the illustrated press in 1930. Developing Sumathi Ramaswamy's idea of the 'ambulatory aesthetic' (2020), we highlight how Gandhi created a personified protest. Moreover, he chose salt as a talismanic object, ubiquitous both temporally, back through India's colonial and pre-colonial past, and laterally, bridging religious identities but also illuminating class distinctions. We also describe how Gandhi's curated defiance was deliberately mutated and muted by the British, initially by way of censorship, but mostly through using biased visual newspaper and magazine reportage of their own in order to marginalise Gandhi and the salt marchers.
The exorcist: law's crimes and art's super powers
(Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd., 2020) Manderson, Desmond; McCutcheon, Jani; McGaughey, Fiona
Rafael Cauduro's mural The Seven Crimes of Justice, situated in the Supreme Court of Mexico, speaks to the old problem of the relationship between art, politics and the State. In Mexico City, the birthplace of modern muralism, Rafael Cauduro confronts its ambivalent legacy and offers up new solutions. And at the same time, at the very heart of the legal system, Cauduro presents a critique of law and justice almost unprecedented in its uncompromising determination to lay bare the brutality of contemporary legal phenomena. This chapter examines how Cauduro's aesthetic choices address the history of modern muralism, and how his thematic choices address the history of modern law. This chapter addresses questions of time and memory, and demonstrates how the trope of the ghost has not merely aesthetic power but legal importance.
Towards an interactional grammar of interjections: Expressing compassion in four Australian language
(Routledge, Taylor & Francis Group, 2023) Mushin, Ilana; Blythe, Joe; Dahmen, Josua; de Dear, Caroline; Gardner, Rod; Possemato, Francesco; Stirling, Lesley
Words classified as 'interjections' tend to be treated in descriptive grammars as outside of morphosyntax, too contextually bound to warrant a systematic description of their syntagmatic relations. In this paper we argue that if one takes grammar to include recurrent patterns in conversational turns that are routinely connected with particular interactional functions, such as assessments and acknowledgements, then the grammar of interjections can indeed be incorporated into language description in ways that show the systematic relationships between form and function. We use a comparative corpus of conversations in four typologically distinct Australian Aboriginal languages (Garrwa, Gija, Jaru and Murrinhpatha) to illustrate how such an analysis may be developed. We focus on forms which have been described as 'compassionate interjections', which express that the speaker takes a compassionate affective stance towards something described in prior talk or evident in the situation. Despite differences in the morphological properties of these words in the languages we compare here, they display remarkable similarities in where they occur within conversational turns, and the functions they serve in different turn-related positions.
