Download or read book The Guattari Effect written by Eric Alliez and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2011-06-30 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Guattari Effect brings together internationally renowned experts on the work of the French psychoanalyst, philosopher and political activist Félix Guattari with philosophers, psychoanalysts, sociologists, anthropologists and artists who have been influenced by Guattari's thought. Best known for his collaborative work with Gilles Deleuze, Guattari's own writings are still a relatively unmined resource in continental philosophy. Many of his books have not yet been translated into English. Yet his influence has been considerable and far-reaching. This book explores the full spectrum of Guattari's work, reassessing its contemporary significance and giving due weight to his highly innovative contributions to a variety of fields, including linguistics, economics, pragmatics, ecology, aesthetics and media theory. Readers grappling with the ideas of contemporary continental philosophers such as Badiou, Žižek and Rancière will at last be able to see Guattari as the 'extraordinary philosopher' Deleuze claimed him to be, with his distinctive radical ideas about the epoch of global 'deterritorialization' we live in today, forged within the practical contexts of revolutionary politics and the materialist critique of psychoanalysis.
Download or read book Activism written by Afonso Dias Ramos and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2023-12-19 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An edited collection that addresses the vital intersection of contemporary art and activism in this watershed cultural moment. Activism is a critical point of contention for institutions and genealogies of contemporary art around the world. Yet artists have consistently engaged in activist discourse, lending their skills to social movements, and regularly participating in civil and social rights campaigns while also boycotting cultural institutions and exerting significant pressure on them. This timely volume, edited by Tom Snow and Afonso Ramos, addresses an extraordinary moment in debates over the institutional frameworks and networks of art including large-scale direct actions, as well as a radical rethinking of art venues and urban spaces according to racial, class, or gender-based disparities, including demonstrations against the extractive and exploitative practices of neoliberal accumulation and climate catastrophe. From ACT UP and its affiliate groups since the dawn of the AIDS crisis to the counter-spectacle and street theatrics of the so-called Arab Spring and Occupy, to ongoing protest movements such as Black Lives Matter, Rhodes Must Fall, and Decolonize This Place, activist aesthetics has proven increasingly difficult to define under traditional classifications. Resurgent campaigns for decolonial reckoning, ecological justice, gender equality, indigenous rights and antiracist pedagogies indicate that the role of activism in contemporary art practice urges a critical reassessment. One pressing question is whether contemporary art’s most radical politics now takes place outside, against, or in spite of, conventional sites of display such as museums, biennials, and galleries. Artists surveyed include: ACT UP, Basel Abbas & Ruanne Abou-Rahme, Allora & Calzadilla, Tania Bruguera, Black Audio Film Collective, Chto Delat, Andrea Fraser, Nan Goldin, Sanja Iveković, Gulf Labor, Amar Kanwar, Leslie Labowitz, Liberate Tate, Sethembile Msezane, Zanele Muholi, Jan Nikolai Nelles & Nora Al-Badri, Decolonize This Place, Michael Rakowitz, Oliver Ressler.

Download or read book Joan Jonas Ediz italiana e inglese written by Joan Jonas and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Born in New York in 1936, Joan Jonas has been a towering figure in postwar Conceptual and experimental Performance art since the 1960s, when she began her pioneering exploration of gender and identity through a combination of myth, choreography and new media. In 2007, she was a visiting professor at the world-famous Ratti Foundation in Como, Italy. While there, she turned to a text by art historian Aby Warburg (whose writings on Hopi imagery and ritual inspired Jonas' 2005 performance "The Shape, the Scent, the Feel of Things") to create "The Hand Reverts to Its Own Movement," a solo performance centered on the act of drawing. This substantial new monograph spans 40 years of the artist's groundbreaking output and introduces her new performance on the occasion of its world premiere in Como.
Download or read book ric Alliez written by Éric Alliez and published by Hatje Cantz Verlag. This book was released on 2012-07-26 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In seinem Notizbuchbeitrag überträgt der Philosoph Éric Alliez Überlegungen seines im Entstehen begriffenen Buchprojekts zur Diagrammatik und deren Implikationen für den Bereich der zeitgenössischen Kunst visuell auf die Gestalt des Textes selbst und reagiert damit auf das Format der deutsch–englischen Publikationsreihe, für die in der Regel Texte in einer Länge von 3000 Wörtern in Auftrag gegeben werden: Der Text besteht aus drei Teilen, wobei in Teil I und Teil III nur einige ins Englische übersetzte (oder original deutsche) Wörter lesbar sind, während der Rest des französischen Ursprungtextes unter einer Durchstreichung durchschimmert, so dass der Gesamtkontext in einem kontinuierlichen Hin und Her zwischen Sprachen sowie Lesbarkeit und Unlesbarkeit vom Leser dechiffriert werden muss. Teil II dagegen ist ins Englische und Deutsche übersetzt und ohne »Verdunklungen« abgedruckt. Dieser Eingriff verkörpert für den Autor die diagrammatische Intervention zwischen dem (Un)Sagbaren und (Un)Sichtbaren und spiegelt wider, was er zum Ende des zweiten Teils zusammenfasst: »Diese zeichenästhesische (signestésique) Politik der Kunst kann, in einem zeitgenössischen Sinn, der eine strikte Alternative zu ihrer ›konzeptuellen‹ Version bildet, als Art after Philosophy bezeichnet werden. In einem ›nach‹ (après), das kein ›gemäߋ (d'après) ist – noch ein analytischer Firnis (apprêt) (à la Kosuth) –, insofern sie ontologisch ›voraus‹ (en avant) ist, zusammen mit der postkonzeptuellen Kritik und Klinik der Philosophie, die sie transportiert.« Der Philosoph Éric Alliez ist Professor am CRMEP, Kingston University, London, und an der Universität von Paris 8.
Download or read book Yona Friedman written by Sabine Lebesque and published by Nai010 Publishers. This book was released on 1999 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 1950s, Hungarian-French architect, painter, writer, and decorator Yona Friedman (b, 1923) has worked on conceptual plans for urban housing alternatives and third world building development. He came to prominence in 1958 for his manifesto, l'Architecture Mobile, and later for his Ville Spatiale (Spatial Town) -- a housing system built off the ground based on a three-dimensional grid. His integrated socio-economic conception of architecture addressed both housing solutions for existing metropolitan areas and also for urbanizing third world cities. Friedman was also commissioned by UNESCO to design visual instructions for unskilled laborers to build structures solidly and efficiently with simple materials and techniques. This is the first monograph on his work.
