Dear colleagues, Please see below for a list of titles available for review in Visual Studies journal - please feel free to circulate this list among your suitably qualified colleagues and doctoral students. If you or qualified colleagues wish to receive one (or more) of these books for purposes of writing a review, please contact me, Gary Bratchford ([log in to unmask]) and provide the following information: - name and affiliation; - your best book-mailing address; - the book(s) you wish to review; - 2-3 sentences describing your qualifications and/or reasons for wanting to review the selected title (e.g. your previous scholarship, current interests, publications and the like). PLEASE DO NOT OVERLOOK THIS POINT. Individual book review lengths (500-750 words / 1000-1250 words) will be assigned when a reviewer is accepted for an assignment. Reviews will be due in for early September. Please note: Potential reviewers should not be disappointed if their first choice is unavailable. Generally requests to review a book outnumber available books, and requests are not evenly distributed across the entire list. If you do not hear from me, please wait until the next round of books becomes available. With kind regards, Gary Book Review Editor, Visual Studies List #001-2017 Robert Hariman and John Louis Lucaites The Public Image: Photography and Civic Spectatorship http://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/P/bo24204721.html Gabriella Giannachi Archive Everything: Mapping the Everyday https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/archive-everything Terry Smith One and Five Ideas: On Conceptual Art and Conceptualism https://www.dukeupress.edu/one-and-five-ideas Junko Theresa Mikuriya A History of Light: The Idea of Photography http://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/a-history-of-light-9781474254199/ Veronica Tello Counter-Memorial Aesthetics: Refugee Histories and the Politics of Contemporary Art http://www.bloomsbury.com/uk/counter-memorial-aesthetics-9781474252751/ Nora M.
