This generously illustrated volume surveys a new chapter in the history of environmental art, one in which space, geopolitics, human relations, urbanism and utopian dreamwork play as important a role as, if not more than, raw earth.

Santiago Sierra: How to Do Things with Words
Space and power have long been bedmates. Power expresses itself in space, while space answers to power's demands, prohibiting some behaviors and prescribing others. This dynamic-what we might call the spatial politics of power-is the subject of much of Santiago Sierra's work, including Submission (formerly Word of Fire).

Submission instantiates the very senders and receivers it presumes, in other words. [...] just about everyone - from viewers and critics to the artist, his hired help, and the local, national, and global community - is implicated in this relay. '; We are all recruited by Submission; we are all asked to join the fray.

Delirious : art at the limits of reason, 1950-1980
Addressing the maniacal, eccentric, and disorienting in artworks made between 1950 and 1980, Delirious situates a fascination with the absurd and irrational within the context of the violence and brutality witnessed during World War II as well as the rapid expansion of industrial capitalism in the 1950s. Skepticism of science and technology--along with fear of its capability to promote mass destruction--developed into a distrust of rationalism, which in the arts had the paradoxical result of extracting irrational effects from rational means.

Shapely Shapelessness: Ana Mendieta's \Untitled (Glass on Body Imprints: Face)\, 1972
Discusses the work of the Cuban artist Ana Mendieta, with particular reference to the photography series 'Untitled (Glass on body imprints - Face)' (1972; col. illus.). The author describes the work, suggests its main theme is violence, compares the series to performances by Bruce Nauman, and examines other works by Mendieta whose subject is violence or domestic abuse. She examines the significance of Mendieta's use of the headshot, relates Robert Storr's theory on the grotesque to her work, and parallels her work with that of Adrian Piper, suggesting that both artists sought to remain perceived as \"other\".

Homage to Malcolm
A study in aesthetic, spiritual, and political power, Homage to Malcolm is one of only forty-one sculptures Whitten produced during his lifetime. It is also the first of his works to reference the tradition of nkisin'kondi (the Kongo power figure), which he first encountered at Nelson Rockefeller's Museum of Primitive Art in 1958-59 and that made an indelible impression on the artist. Created the same year its honorary subject, Malcolm X, was assassinated. Homage to Malcolm consists of five pieces of American elm that Whitten carved, stained, and embellished with metal filaments, pieces of metal, and other found materials.

Courting Desire and the (Al)lure of David E. Kelley's Ally McBeal
In her paper, \"Courting Desire and the (Al)lure of David E. Kelley's Ally McBeal,\" Kathleen Kelly Baum compares the tropes of desire and the law in David E. Kelley's television series Ally McBeal with similar motifs extracted from Lacanian theory. In her study, Baum explores the psychological and social implications of thematic characterizations and situations from the television series' five seasons by engaging Lacan's premise that subjective identity results from an economic relation between self and other -- a relation that is continuously mediated by symbolization and governed by social mores and cultural imperatives. In addition, Baum traces ways in which Kelley's consistent use of intersubjective conflict as a stylistic device in his writing may be interpreted as serving the programming demands of commercial television, but, also, functioning to generate scripts that effectively challenge contemporary culturally accepted gender roles and behavioral models.
