Visualities 2

More Perspectives on Contemporary American Indian Film and Art

Denise K. Cummings

Michigan State University Press, 2019

Echoing and expanding the aims of the first volume, Visualities: Perspectives on Contemporary American Indian Film and Art, this second volume contains illuminating global Indigenous visualities concerning First Nations, Aboriginal Australian, Maori, and Sami peoples. This insightful collection of essays explores how identity is created and communicated through Indigenous film-, video-, and art-making; what role these practices play in contemporary cultural revitalization; and how indigenous creators revisit media pasts and resignify dominant discourses through their work. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, Visualities Two draws on American Indian studies, film studies, art history, cultural studies, visual culture studies, women’s studies, and postcolonial studies. Among the artists and media makers examined are Tasha Hubbard, Rachel Perkins, and Ehren “Bear Witness” Thomas, as well as contemporary Inuit artists and Indigenous agents of cultural production working to reimagine digital and social platforms. Films analyzed include The Exiles, Winter in the Blood, The Spirit of Annie Mae, Radiance, One Night the Moon, Bran Nue Dae, Ngati, Shimásání, and Sami Blood.

Voyages of Catholic Thought to North America

Intellectual Networks and Cultural Exchanges Between Europe, Canada, and the United States, 1920-1950

Florian Michel

Catholic University of America Press, 2026

In the first half of the 20th century, the reputation of American Catholics was not so good. Didn't the novelist Flannery O'Connor write that their main concern was to “install central heating in holy places”? This book reveals a little-known page in the intellectual history of American Catholicism, and shows another face of transatlantic relations. “It is in the order of spirit and culture that the Atlantic community assumes its most fundamental historical importance”, as Jacques Maritain noted. Before many European intellectuals found themselves in exile in New York between 1940 and 1945, and long before the influence of “French Theory” in the United States, Jacques Maritain, Étienne Gilson, Father Marie-Dominique Chenu, Charles De Koninck and Yves Simon taught in North America between the wars and founded institutes in Toronto, Notre Dame, Laval, Princeton, destined to play a decisive role in the intellectual mutations of North American Catholicism and beyond. To trace the history of these philosophers, Florian Michel had access to archives in France, Italy, the USA and Canada.
