- Description: Book abstract. Securing Urban Heritage considers the impact of securitization on access to urban heritage sites. Demonstrating that symbolic spaces such as these have increasingly become the location of choice for the practice and performance of contemporary politics in the last decade, the book shows how this has led to the securitization of urban public space. Highlighting specific changes that have been made, such as the installation of closed-circuit television or the limitation of access to certain streets, plazas and buildings, the book analyses the impact of different approaches to securitization.

Another world is possible: the socialist mural in Luanda as Visual Anticipation of a New Socialist Society. We travel the SpaceWay-Black Imagination, Fragments and Diffractions

- Description: Book abstract. From the visual politics of the FRELIMO-liberation script in Mozambique via the brooms and spoons of Le Balai Citoyen in Burkina Faso, to the updating of images from past revolutions on Twitter and Facebook, often in the diaspora – images play a key role in the envisioning of futures and social utopia. And more than that: Revolutions, understood as moments of radical social and cultural change, are driven by images, as empirical investigations on- and offline show. But what actually constitutes the 'seismographic power' of images, and the sustainability of icons from past ruptures in terms of radicalism, such as the portraits of Burkina Faso's and Mozambiques first presidents' Thomas Sankara and Samora Machel?.

- Description: Book abstract. A new take on Afrofuturism, this book gathers together a range of contemporary voices who, carrying legacies of 500 years of contact between Africa, Europe, and the Americas, reach towards the stars and unknown planets, galaxies, and ways of being. Writing from queer and feminist perspectives and circumnavigating continents, they recalibrate definitions of Afrofuturism. The editors and contributors of this exciting volume thus reflect upon the re-emergence of Black visions of political and cultural futures, proposing practices, identities, and collectivities.

- Description: Book abstract. Socialist image cultures went far beyond political iconography: beyond hammer and sickle, red banners or stylized portraits of Lenin, they could create normality and have an integrative effect, create identity, but also be subversive. Images emotionally linked the population to the system. The anthology deals with various popular media from late socialism: picture postcards, packaging, shop window decorations and other everyday forms of pictures. The articles describe areas of tension between the political program of a uniform socialist hemisphere and the visual breaks in cultural and social practice. A glossary explains key aesthetic terms.
