  • Avanessian – Xenoarchitecture (Draft) 1 Introduction Armen Avanessian
    avanessian – xenoarchitecture (draft) Introduction Armen Avanessian “Man’s desire is the desire of the Other,” Lacan, Seminar XI, p. 235 Following Lacan’s infamous dictum, according to which desire is defined as the desire of the Other, we could ask ourselves what a correlate methodology would look like for the humanities (or should we say “the inhumanities”?). Obviously, the structure of the phrase is ambiguous, or even tautological if taken as a predicative proposition. Instead, I propose to read it as a speculative proposition: we do not simply desire what the other has or hasn’t got, but we desire the state of being an Other, an othering, becoming a stranger to oneself and others—literally alienating them as well as “ourselves.” A desire for the xeno? This transformation has at least three central aspects: alienation (the negative mirroring of a given reality), negation (the construction of an asymmetry that initiates an annihilation of the positively given), and a recursion of alienation and negation through speculation.1 It is a poietic qua productive and creative transformation in the sense that it increases the scope of navigation and liberation by means of manipulation. Together with others, I have thought, experimented, and written a lot about questions of othering and “matching” experimental settings2 for the production of knowledge, tactical spaces in the sense of Michel de Certeau, xeno-spaces that are defined by “a calculated action determined by the absence of a proper locus. No delimitation of an exteriority, then, provides it with the condition necessary for autonomy. The space of a tactic is the space of the Other.

  • The Regulation of the Subject by the Technology of Time Maxwell Kennel [1]
    Rhizomes: Cultural Studies in Emerging Knowledge: Issue 34 (2018) The Regulation of the Subject by the Technology of Time Maxwell Kennel [1] Abstract: Beginning from the entangled categories of the human and the technological, this exploration surveys thinkers who concern themselves with problems of technology and time, seeking to examine how the confluence of technology and time regulate and condition the formation of subjectivity. Drawing on Bernard Stiegler's work in Technics and Time, Augustine's Confessions, and the myth of Prometheus, the following draws out the technological character of time and makes suggestions about how to reconceptualize these different temporalizing technologies after the critique of capitalism. Surely technology, in its ever-changing form and forms, is a pharmakon that has been with us from the start. Regardless of whether we speak of technology or technologies or the broader field of techne (a practice or craft), it remains that the term ‘technology’ refers to something that, like a double-edged sword, helps us and harms us, something that we use and that uses us, and something that is at once politically charged (often subtly oriented toward particular interests and ends with particular benefactors), yet ambivalent, taking different sides at different times (and therefore available for us to use as means for our own ends).[2] Although it is at our disposal and supposedly outside of ourselves, some have argued that technology is not in fact something extra that is added onto our human nature and experience, but instead something inextricably related to both humanity and history, and indeed something that challenges the legitimacy of these categories.

  • Karl Marx and Poetic Form in the Communist Manifesto
    FILOZOFIA ___________________________________________________________________________Roč. 71, 2016, č. 4 EPIC OR TRAGEDY? KARL MARX AND POETIC FORM IN THE COMMUNIST MANIFESTO JASON BARKER, Department of British and American Language and Culture, Kyung Hee University, South Korea BARKER, J.: Epic or Tragedy? Karl Marx and Poetic Form in The Communist Mani- festo FILOZOFIA 71, 2016, No. 4, pp. 316-327 Although The Communist Manifesto of 1848 was clearly not intended as a work of poetry, this article considers the merits of reading it according to the aesthetic criteria of epic poetry and of tragedy respectively. Following a brief treatment of the role of poetry in Karl Marx’s evolution as a philosopher and critic, the article then specu- lates that the identification of certain poetic themes in the text can aid our under- standing of the Manifesto’s political meaning, particularly in light of the “dialectical Prometheanism” that played such a defining role in Marx’s intellectual and political universe. Keywords: Dialectics − Epic − Odyssey − Prometheus − Prometheanism − Marx Introduction: Prometheus Bound and Unbound. Karl Marx’s favorite poet was Aeschylus and many personal episodes suggest the former’s incarnation as a modern Prometheus. In March 1843 the Rheinische Zeitung – which at the time was one of the largest subscription newspapers in Germany – was suppressed by the Prussian authorities and Marx resigned as its editor. A political cartoon of the period, now famous, was pub- lished depicting Marx bound to a printing press with a Prussian eagle biting out his liver. The final issue of the Rheinische Zeitung carried the following short poem: Our mast blew down, but we were not affrighted, The angry gods could never make us bend.

While the entire time period of modernity can be seen as occupied with the problematics of form, there has nevertheless been a steady critical distanciation from such concerns over the last few decades. Looking at recent developments in thinking about form, we can determine a particular schema: on the one hand central topoi such as dissolution, opening and break demonstrate the residue of a revolutionary formal rhetoric; on the other hand a negatively inflected understanding of form has been projected as a synonym for paralysed social, political and artistic circum- stances. For numerous reasons, we should object to such overly hasty disavowals of form and instead attempt to examine the seemingly old-fashioned concept of ‘form’ once again in view of contemporary aesthetic reflections. A first requirement is to object to the conception of form as ‘paralysed’, a notion which we can clearly see belied in concepts such as Documenta XII’s ‘migration of form’ (wherein the particular formal meaning of individual artworks was deprioritized in favour of new formal configu- rations created at a curatorial level).

  • Aesthetic Temporalities Today Present, Presentness, Re-Presentation
    From: Gabriele Genge, Ludger Schwarte, Angela Stercken (eds.) Aesthetic Temporalities Today Present, Presentness, Re-Presentation September 2020, 278 p., pb., 33 B&W-ill., 44 col.-ill. 40,00 € (DE), 978-3-8376-5462-2 E-Book: PDF: 39,99 € (DE), ISBN 978-3-8394-5462-6 This volume is dedicated to the interrelation between temporality and representation. It presumes that time cannot be conceived of as an abstract chronometric order, but that it is referring to materiality, being measured, represented, expressed, recognized, experienced and evaluated, and therefore is always closely related to cultural contexts of perception and evaluation. The contributions from various disciplines are dedicated to the present and its plural condi- tions and meanings. They provide insights into the state of research with special emphasis on the global present as well as on art and aesthetics from the 18th century until today. The anthology includes contributions by Mieke Bal, Stefan Binder, Maximilian Bergengruen, Iris Därmann, Gabriele Genge, Boris Roman Gibhardt, Boris Groys, Maria Muhle, Johannes F. Lehmann, Nkiru Nzegwu, Francesca Raimondi, Christine Ross, Ludger Schwarte, Angela Stercken, Samuel Strehle, Timm Trausch, Patrick Stoffel, and Christina Wessely. Gabriele Genge is a professor for Modern and Contemporary art history and art theory at the University Duisburg-Essen. Her recent research covers particularly transcultural and post- colonial areas of the discipline with a specific focus on French Colonialism and African and African-American image theory, knowledge systems and epistemology as well as migratory issues in Art History. She supervised the DFG research project »The Anachronic and the Present: Aesthetic Perception and Artistic Concepts of Temporality in the Black Atlantic.« Ludger Schwarte is a professor of philosophy at the Kunstakademie Duesseldorf.

  • Jacques Derrida Law As Absolute Hospitality
    JACQUES DERRIDA LAW AS ABSOLUTE HOSPITALITY JACQUES DE VILLE NOMIKOI CRITICAL LEGAL THINKERS Jacques Derrida Jacques Derrida: Law as Absolute Hospitality presents a comprehensive account and understanding of Derrida’s approach to law and justice. Through a detailed reading of Derrida’s texts, Jacques de Ville contends that it is only by way of Derrida’s deconstruction of the metaphysics of presence, and specifi cally in relation to the texts of Husserl, Levinas, Freud and Heidegger, that the reasoning behind his elusive works on law and justice can be grasped. Through detailed readings of texts such as ‘To Speculate – on Freud’, Adieu, ‘Declarations of Independence’, ‘Before the Law’, ‘Cogito and the History of Madness’, Given Time, ‘Force of Law’ and Specters of Marx, de Ville contends that there is a continuity in Derrida’s thinking, and rejects the idea of an ‘ethical turn’. Derrida is shown to be neither a postmodernist nor a political liberal, but a radical revolutionary. De Ville also controversially contends that justice in Derrida’s thinking must be radically distinguished from Levinas’s refl ections on ‘the Other’. It is the notion of absolute hospitality – which Derrida derives from Levinas, but radically transforms – that provides the basis of this argument. Justice must, on de Ville’s reading, be understood in terms of a demand of absolute hospitality which is imposed on both the individual and the collective subject. A much needed account of Derrida’s infl uential approach to law, Jacques Derrida: Law as Absolute Hospitality will be an invaluable resource for those with an interest in legal theory, and for those with an interest in the ethics and politics of deconstruction.

    Ecologocentrism: Unworking Animals 73 Ecologocentrism: Unworking Animals Timothy Morton . with a glance toward those who, in a society from which I do not exclude myself, turn their eyes away when faced by the as yet unnamable which is proclaiming itself and which can do so, as is necessary whenever a birth is in the offing, only under the species of the nonspecies, in the formless, mute, infant, and terrifying form of monstrosity. — Jacques Derrida, “Structure, Sign, and Play in the Discourse of the Human Sciences” (293) Whoever is the wisest among you is also just a conflict and a cross between plant and ghost. — Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra (6) Ecology without Nature1 One of the things that modernity has damaged in its appropriation of the Earth has been thinking. Unfortunately, one of the damaged ideas is that of Nature itself. (I shall be capitalizing this word where necessary, to highlight its metaphysical qualities.) How do we transition from seeing what we call “Nature” as an object “over yonder”? And how do we avoid “new and improved” versions that end up doing much the same thing (systems theory, Spinozan pantheism, or Deleuze-and-Guattari type worlds of interlocking machines, and so on), just in a “cooler,” more sophisticated way? What kinds of collectivity emerge when we think ecology without Nature? How do we coexist with nonhumans without what Dimitris Vardoulakis and Chris Danta in their introduction to this issue call the “social fantasies that create and sustain a collective ‘we’ in the name of whom violence is exercised”? By “unworking animals” I reference Jean-Luc Nancy’s idea of the “community of unworking” derived from Maurice Blanchot’s interpretation of the Romantic fragment poem.
