Representing Chairman Mao: a social-semiotic analysis of two statues on a Red Tour :

This article presents an analysis of two entirely different statues of Chairman Mao: the first, a full figure statue completed in 1993, and the other, an immense bust completed in 2009. Both statues were sites included on a ‘Red Tour’ in which one of the authors participated in March 2011. It is assumed that the tour organizers consider both of the statues worthy of visiting, and of fulfilling the aims of a Red Tour. These aims, according to the accompanying tour book, are broadly: to educate people about the history of the communist party, to remind citizens of the foundations of the current China, to instil national pride, and to provide a spiritual and enlightening experience (Guolong Lvxingshe, 2011, our translation). The analysis in this article primarily utilizes O’Toole’s framework in The Language of Displayed Art (1994, 2011) for analyzing sculpture, and provides insights into how each statue represents Chairman Mao by first analyzing its features, and then interpreting these features against the socio-political context of the Red Tour, and in doing so, enhancing our understanding of the social semiotic nature of public memorials. In the interpretation of the features of the statues, comparisons and contrasts are made between the meanings construed by each representation. Iain Macdonald

Cultural change in the creative industries: a case study of BBC graphic design from 1990–2011:

Using his own experience as a witness and participant in the convulsion that the BBC, and specifically the BBC Graphic Design Department underwent, the author aims to illuminate the cultural change to the creative industries in many advanced industrialised countries that has occurred over the last 20 years. Many industries in the past have undergone similar ruptures and transformations and they will again in the future. The author hopes to draw lessons from an analysis of television graphic design using examples of work that can point out the attributes and skills that a new designer across the globe will need to have and obtain in order to withstand future industrial and cultural changes.

‘Zombies ahead!’ A study of how hacked digital road signs destabilize the physical space of roadways :

This article explores some of the ways in which hacked Changeable Message Signs (CMSs) destabilize the physical space of motor transport spaces and jeopardize the institutionalized function of travel. While CMSs draw attention to the correlation between motorists’ current positions, possible inconveniences ahead and their final destination, hacked CMSs and the subsequent projection of unsanctioned messages destabilize this correlation. Hence, the seemingly straightforward relationship between motor transport spaces and the activities of motorists, pedestrians and passers-by is in fact fashioned by the particular kind of message that is displayed at any given moment. Focusing on the spatial effects of hacked CMSs and how the dissemination of unsanctioned information points to the social stratifications of motor transport spaces, hacking is understood as a means of combating the disciplinary regimes of roadways.

Rhetoric after the Fall: sin and punishment in Christian visual culture :

This article examines the power and persuasiveness of religious imagery in representations of sin and punishment in Christian visual culture. Visions of sin and divine punishment traditionally position the viewers as spectators, asking them to identify sinful practices to discourage future transgressions. Relying on the principle of contrapasso, which states that each person must suffer in the afterlife according to the individual sins she or he committed on earth, visual representations of punishment are both individualized and naturalized for viewers. The pervasiveness, familiarity, and perceived naturalness of these images enables a viewer to not only recognize sinful behavior, but to embody the sinner, ultimately moving audience members from a position of spectatorship to one of introspection.
