Visual Culture and the Forensic
David Houston Jones builds a bridge between practices conventionally understood as forensic, such as crime scene investigation, and the broader field of activity which the forensic now designates, for example in performance and installation art as well as photography. Contemporary work in these areas responds both to forensic evidence, including crime scene photography, and to some of the assumptions underpinning its consumption. It asks how we look, and in whose name, foregrounding and scrutinising the enduring presence of voyeurism in visual media and instituting new forms of ethical engagement. Such work responds to the object-oriented culture associated with the forensic and offers a rea...

Looking to Sea
'A remarkable and compelling book . . . I loved it' Edmund de Waal 'Ambitious . . . a chronicle of British art, unfurled against the panoramic backdrop of 20th-century history' Sunday Telegraph In this remarkable modern history of Britain, the ebbs and flows of the twentieth century are explored through ten pivotal artworks. Each coastal piece, created between 1912 and 2015, opens a window onto the ideas that have shaped our society, from the impact of the world wars and colonialism to conceptions of class and nationhood. Bold and imaginative, Looking to Sea is an exquisite work of cultural storytelling, and a fascinating portrait of our island nation. 'At once bold and delicate, far-reaching and fine-tuned' Alexandra Harris 'Empathy and intelligence lift memoir into cultural history' Iain Sinclair
My Cousin the Writer
It's the Fifties, and every weekday all of Britain likes to tune in to its favourite BBC radio serial, The Parkers. No wonder a young man at a loose end, frustrated by his rejection for National Service, gravitates towards the makers of the programme. They all make claims on him - claims that will pursue him down the years into late middle age. And then there's his cousin, Ian. A poignant examination of emotional and cultural confusion. Full of character and resonant with the intrigue of soap opera, it is a post-modern journey through an England long-since disappeared.
Wolfy and the Strudelbakers
An enchanting blend of humour and crisp observation in a story of Jewish exiles in Britain. Set in wartime and post-war England Wolfy and the Strudelbakers is a comic take on the disaster zone of displacement and exile. Wolfy lives with the 'strudelbakers'-his super-critical aunt and melancholy uncle-in the surrealistic world of refugees granted shelter from persecution. He is an expert at living in two cultures-the chaotic, dark world of uprooted people desperately hanging on to their Jewish religion-and the vitality, variety and temptation he finds in London's streets. "A most impressive novel full of narrative power and unforgettable description."-Jewish Chronicle "The delight is in the comic detail, even when the matter is serious."-The Times Zvi Jagendorf teaches English and Theatre Studies at the Hebrew University, Jerusalem.
