Описание: In this rich, highly illustrated book, Mieke Bal takes us on a journey through the range of her work, using the concept of image-thinking as a point of connection between cultural analysis and artistic practice. Bal teaches us how to think with images, but also how to write and think as artists and writers about our own creative work.

Описание: The aesthetics of post-digital imaging - Between camera traps and virtual reality creatively maps the recent developments in the field of post-digital imaging, spanning across the broad spectrum of visual production: from artistic forms of techno-ecological practice to "operational images" of ecological monitoring to some examples of virtual reality. Addressing the condition of post-digitality as the consequence of the fact that computing technologies have become inseparable from the embodied practices of everyday life, it demonstrates how imaging born between physical space, computing technology, and the activity of its users establishes hybrid ontological coalitions. This, in turn, results in a necessity to develop the new epistemic and ontological perspectives, capable of a better understanding the complexity of image production seen as a process rather than a set of visual objects.

The analyses offered in the book cover the novelty of visual forms born between physical reality and networked digital media: new media art, environmental protection, and ecological research, as well as some examples of virtual reality. Therefore, different modes of the post-digital aestheticization are explored, including instances of techno-ecological art practice, consumer-generated virtual reality (360 panoramas), VR art and e-literature, and the use of camera traps in the ecological monitoring. All types of imaging analyzed in the book have been born as hybrid entities, capable of forging ontological coalitions, bridging the disparate realities of nature, code, and data transmission.

Описание: On the complex aesthetics and ontology at work in ?tienne Souriau’s unique oeuvre In this concise but expansive exegesis of the philosophical aesthetics of ?tienne Souriau, philosopher David Lapoujade provides a lucid introduction to many of the key concepts underpinning Souriau’s existential pluralism. Among the various modes of existence that populate a world, Souriau grants particular importance to virtual beings-the lesserexistences. Always taking the form of a sketch or an outline, the perfection of such existences lies precisely in the incompletion with which they imbue all reality. They exist with a problematizing force, posing questions and inviting the establishment of an “art” that would make them more real. And yet, for this to happen, another existence must first see them-must be capable of hearing their appeals-and must be willing to defend their right to exist.Through discussions of modern art ranging from the dispossessed characters of Kafka and Beckett to the grids of Agnes Martin and the protographies of Oscar Mu?oz, Lapoujade leads the reader into a complex philosophical world, brimming with modal existences and animated by a unique conception of creative processes, where the philosopher as artist or artist as philosopher becomes an advocate, defending the right of certain realities to gain in existence. For Souriau, nothing is given in advance, everything is a work in the making: such is the instaurative practice that grounds his entire oeuvre.

Описание: In every psychic experience, even in the production of a work of art, there exists a nucleus that is impossible to transform. It resists any and every action against itself. We are used to dealing with these irreducible and radical othernesses by adapting them to our own way of knowing and our experience. In reality, they make up the ugly material of our living and, hence, of our humanity. We can, however, transform them in some way, without altering their substance, but rather organizing them in different configurations, which generate new forms. Psychoanalysis can aid in this difficult and risky process, providing resilient equipment, much like a sophisticated spacesuit, allowing one to travel the cosmic spaces of psychic life and of human reality without bursting into flames. In the actual world, we find ourselves having to deal with problems never before encountered, which eradicate old certainties – problems which feel uncanny compared to the known experiences of ourselves and others. We meet with disorganized and fragmentary conflict, to which psychoanalysis attempts to answer adopting an open, non-defensive procedure, aiming to widen the field of experience rather than reducing it, in accordance with the basis of its practice and theory.For this reason, the interweaving of various forms of knowledge is necessary in order to link the diverse aspects and levels of psychic and external reality. The author examines this theme through the psychoanalytic approach, as well as through philosophy, science and art, and using stories based on personal life and clinical experiences.

Описание: The principal motif that runs throughout The Virtual Point of Freedom is a confrontation with the discourse of freedom, or, more specifically, the falsely transgressive ideal of a total emancipation that would know no constraints. Far from delineating a supposed “subject of freedom” that would allegedly overcome alienation once and for all, the seven chapters in Chiesa’s book seek to unfold an innovative reading of the dialectical coincidence between dis-alienation and re-alienation in politics, aesthetics, and religion, using psychoanalysis as a privileged critical tool. Topics include Pier Paolo Pasolini’s attack on the visual and biological degeneration of bodies brought about by pleasure-seeking “liberal” consumerism, Giorgio Agamben’s and Slavoj ?i?ek’s conflicting negotiations with the Christian tradition of “poverty” and “inappropriateness”as potential redemption, and Alain Badiou’s inability to develop a philosophical anthropology that could sustain a coherent politics of emancipation. The book concludes by sketching out the figure of the partisan, a subject who makes it possible toconceive of an intersection between provisional morality and radical politics.
