“…In particular, the constant interplay between staying local and becoming translocal enables the differential inhabitation of spaces where various groups and individual agents meet; a process of multiple crossings of the known frontiers towards 'new forms of collective self-determination' (Stavrides, 2010, p. 13). Accordingly, resistance formations create socialities that are not attached to concrete spaces/places; rather, new resistance potentialities emerge through the constant flows of actors: a complex movement by which something escapes or departs from a given territory (Deleuze & Guattari, 1987), when articulations are disarticulated (Slack & Wise, 2005) and then rearticulated or re-territorialized; except this time, the act of re-doing brings along transformed relationalities.…”

This paper offers a spatial conceptualization of resistance by focusing on the practices through which solidarity initiatives constitute new resistance socio-spatialities. We discuss two solidarity initiatives in Greece, WCNA and Vio.Me SI, and explore how they institute distinctive local and translocal organizational practices that make the production of new forms of resistance possible. In particular, we adopt a productive and transformative view of resistance and first, identify three local practices of organizing solidarity initiatives namely, the organization of general assembly meetings, the constitution of resistance laboratories and the (re)articulation of sociospatial relations in local sites. Then, we turn to flows, movements, and translocal resistance formations and examine the role of solidarity mobilizations, the material and symbolic co-production of resources and members' mobility in the production of resistance. We conclude that new resistance socio-spatialities become constitutive of a broader reconfiguration of political agencies, a creative process that challenges existing relations and invites alternative ways of working and organizing.

“…(1987, p. 20) This practice of articulation was, for Hall, a complex one, implying political work: selective work vis à vis the many common senses, involving both the selective mobilisation of some aspects and the obverse: the selective demobilisation of other elements by rendering them silent, ridiculous, unrealistic, out of time or place and so on. As Slack and Wise (2007) insist, this view of articulation as a practice is closely tied to Hall's understanding of cultural studies as a contextual and conjunctural way of working:…”

Stuart Hall and the theory and practice of articulation

In this article, I argue that the idea of articulation links three different dimensions of Stuart Hall's work: it is central to the work of cultural politics, to the work of hegemony, and to his practice of embodied pedagogy. I claim that his approach to pedagogy entails the art of listening combined with the practice of theorising in the service of expanding who belongs to the public. This involves the work of translation, finding ways of addressing different audiences. I treat each of these aspects in turn, drawing out the salience of articulation for each and suggest that these three dimensions are themselves articulated by Hall's commitment to the theory and practice of articulation.Keywords: articulation; cultural politics; hegemony; common sense; pedagogy When reading or listening to the many comments and commentaries on Stuart Hall's life and work that followed his death in February 2014, I was moved by how many paid tribute to his personal charm, his generosity in thinking and talking with others, as well as his engaging and persuasive way of speaking.1 In this brief article, I will make speculative connections between these apparently personal characteristics and his orientations to theory, politics and pedagogy.2 In this, I do not mean to suggest that the descriptions of his grace, generosity, or compelling style of thinking and speaking are trivial, incidental, or even wrong-headed. On the contrary, they consistently convey qualities that seem all too rare in the worlds of the academy and politics. The article asks what underlies this outpouring of tributes and their recurrent themes and offers an alternative reading of these 'personal qualities' and engaging style, explaining them as central to his embodied praxis of articulation. This paper will demonstrate how the concept of articulation works in three different and yet inter-related ways to organise his political, pedagogic and intellectual projects-as the work of cultural politics, the work of securing hegemony, and the attentive listening necessary to the work of embodied pedagogy. Turning to articulationThis paper will argue that Hall's engaging ways were more than merely personal, yet nor were they the result of the sort of careful calculation expressed in the contemporary academic obsessions with public engagement or the maximization of 'impact'. Rather, they were the manifestations of a uniquely historically aware and forward-looking reflection about intellectual, political, and pedagogic work within *

“…As Michael Z Newman and Elana Levine (2012: 100) explain: 'one unavoidable difference between cinema and television at that time was to be found in their pictures -both in their size and their quality.' Today, the range of television experiences available to the average person reveals television's coolness as a specifically infrastructural and industrial condition, a technocultural articulation (Balsamo, 2011;Slack and Wise, 2006). Amanda Lotz (2007) hails high definition television (HDTV) as a replacement for the 'long inferior NTSC television standard'.…”

The Low Acuity for Blue: Perceptual Technics and American Color Television

This article offers a perceptual history of American color television through a study of the making of the National Television Systems Committee’s 1953 color standard. Rather than seeking out an ideal representation of color, the NTSC standard asked what the minimally acceptable level of color transmission might be for home audiences. While exploiting psychophysical research that suggested that normal eyes tended to have a lower acuity for blue, the NTSC also set their aesthetic standards according to rough measures of everyday life. The NTSC thus mobilized a conception of vision essential for modern commercial culture. The authors consider the perceptual engineering of color TV as a path into a neglected but crucial dimension of 20th-century visuality: compression. The history of color TV shows the centrality of compression to the look of many 20th-century visual media – analog and digital – and to the cultures of looking in which they circulated.
