Fishermen were shown how the activities would not threaten their livelihoods. Meetings were held in several locations from Rio de Janeiro to towns and cities along the Espirito Santo coastline that might be affected by drilling and field development. First, the company scrupulously followed Brazilian law to obtain permits, provide safety assurances, ensure local participation of indigenous Brazilian workers and suppliers, and launch a massive. Shell took years of planning and hard work to achieve the status of a trusted company in Brazil before it announced first oil from its Parque das Conchas field offshore the State of Espirito Santo. Taking the long view as well as getting up close to the war machine, Virtuous War provides a compelling alternative to the partisan politics, instant analysis and technical fixes that currently bedevil US national security policy. Blinded by virtue, emboldened by technological superiority, seized by a mimetic terror, the US blundered from one foreign fiasco to the next. In this newly updated edition, he reveals how a misguided faith in virtuous war to right the wrongs of the world instead paved the way for a flawed response to 9/11 and a disastrous war in Iraq. He tracks the convergence of cyborg technologies, video games, media spectacles, war movies, and do-good ideologies that produced a chimera of high-tech, low-risk 'virtuous wars'. James Der Derian takes the reader from a family history of war and genocide to new virtual battlespaces in the Mojave Desert, Silicon Valley, Hollywood and American universities. Virtuous War is the first book to map the emergence and judge the consequences of a new military-industrial-media-entertainment network. Visualizing Law in the Age of the Digital Baroque offers a jurisprudential paradigm that is equal to the challenge that current cultural conditions present.
Left unchecked, this condition of ontological and ethical uneasiness threatens the legitimacy of law’s claim to power. When fact-based justice recedes, laws proliferate within a field of uncertainty. What is real, and what is simulation? This is the hallmark of the baroque, when dreams fold into dreams, like immersion in a seemingly endless matrix of digital appearances. Law as image also shares broader cultural anxieties concerning not only the truth of the image but also the mimetic capacity itself, the human ability to represent reality. But when law migrates to the screen it lives there as other images do, motivating belief and judgment on the basis of visual delight and unconscious fantasies and desires as well as actualities. From videos documenting crimes and accidents to computer displays of their digital simulation, increasingly, the search for fact-based justice inside the courtroom is becoming an offshoot of visual meaning making. Today, lawyers, judges, and lay jurors face a vast array of visual evidence and visual argument. Visualizing Law in the Age of the Digital Baroque explores the profound impact that visual digital technologies are having on the practice and theory of law. These modes of drawing each have their unique political dimensions, and were deployed by Eaten Fish and other cartoonists to bring light to the inhumane conditions on Manus Island, protest the imprisonment of asylum seekers there, and grow a transnational alliance that eventually brought Eaten Fish to freedom. This article proposes a framework of four types of drawing practices: Indexical Drawing, Reflexive Drawing, Drawing as Reportage, and Rhetorical Drawing. Instead, his art is best understood as embodying a set of transnational drawing practices that connect his work with that of other cartoonists and artists across the world. Many of Eaten Fish's cartoons resist classification into the publishing genres established for comics, such as graphic narratives, comic strips and single-panel cartoons. Here you’ll find more than 50 old names like Hopalong Cassidy, Flash Gordon, Blondie, Li’l Abner, Curly Kayo, Nancy, Brick Bradford, Etta Kett, Grandma, Barney Google, Mandrake the Magician, Tillie the Toiler, The Lone Ranger, Moon Mullins, Myrtle, The Heart of Juliet Jones and a few more.This article examines the drawings of Eaten Fish, an Iranian asylum seeker who became an internationally renowned cartoonist during the five years he was imprisoned in Australia's notorious Manus Island detention centre. They were syndicated and ran in newspapers nationwide, so the whole country could follow along with the adventures of superheroes, silly folks, detectives, cowboys and everyday folks in humorous circumstances. You - or your parents or grandparents - might remember some of these popular comic strips from the funny pages back in the ’50s.
