Lisa Min et al. eds., "Redacted: Writing in the Negative Space of the State" (punctum books, 2024)
Charlene Makeley, an anthropologist of Tibet; Lisa Min, a visuality researcher on North Korea; and Frank Biet, a cultural geographer of borders. They trace the origins of a redaction project and debate redaction as aesthetic practice, ethical survival, and design challenge. They probe visual, multimodal forms, self-censorship, institutional limits, and how redaction reshapes political imaginaries.
