Upsurge: Acts of Transgression edited by Jay Pather and Catherine Boulle 2019.
In this essay, Nuttal examines how times of turbulence or “upsurge” like the #FeesMustFall, Rhodes Must Fall or the ex-president Jacob Zuma’s time in office are difficult to ascribe meaning to or even name conclusively since it’s very nature is never in the past, as its repercussions are grappled with in the present.

The Impossibility of Curating Live Art: Acts of Transgression edited by Jay Pather and Catherine Boulle 2019.
In this chapter, Pather discusses the difficulties of transferring traditional notions/methodologies of curating objects as in Fine Art to Live Art. In Live Art, where elements of a performance, including the actual physical space, audience and context are as volatile and dynamic as the other curation, he argues, is really an act of mediation that demands its own vocabulary reflective of a form that constantly changes and in turn is changed by a society in flux.
