The ArtsJune 2025Counterpractice
Psychoanalysis, politics and the art of French feminism
by Rakhee Balaram
Counterpractice highlights a generation of women who used art to define a culture of experimental thought and practice during the period of the French women's movement or Mouvement de Libération des Femmes (1970-81). It considers women's art in relation to some of the most exciting thinkers to have emerged from the French literature and philosophy of the 1970s - Hélène Cixous, Luce Irigaray and Julia Kristeva - forcing a timely reconsideration of the full spectrum of revolutionary practices by women in the years following the events of May '68. Lavishly illustrated with over 200 images, the book also features an illuminating foreword by art historian Griselda Pollock.

History of Art / Art & Design StylesJuly 2015Porous boundaries
Art and essays
by Edited by David Peters Corbett, Cyril Reade
This innovative and exciting volume celebrates the career of Janet Wolff: a highly influential voice in the literature of sociology, cultural studies, visual studies and art history, as well as dance and modernism for several decades. Her work has significantly contributed to the way we view issues as diverse as modernism, the flâneur, British and American art in the early twentieth century, and the gendered literature of modernity. The volume contains contributions from a number of Janet Wolff's collaborators and others who are associated with the fields in which she has worked, including Zygmunt Bauman, Walid Raad and Griselda Pollock. The book includes original artworks, memoir and essays inspired by her example and which deal with questions she has discussed. The book will be of interest to academics and postgraduate students in any of these disciplines, as well as those interested by the form of a transatlantic academic career.

Humanities & Social SciencesJuly 2026Modernity and philosophy in Max Horkheimer
On the contemporary relevance of critical theory
by Raffaele Carbone
This book shows that Max Horkheimer's program of critical theory and his research throughout his career as a university professor and thinker are rooted in the cogency of philosophical questions and an in-depth knowledge of the historical development of philosophical problems in their close correlation with the socio-economic framework which shaped the 'bourgeois society' and the Modern Era. Indeed, his analyses of modern philosophers allows us to understand how the bourgeoisie seeks legitimisation and consolidation of its position, partly through the voices of its thinkers. In this way, in his investigation of early modern philosophy problems, and through constant dialogue with his colleagues Adorno, Marcuse, Pollock and Fromm, Horkheimer expresses a profound awareness of the critical force inherent in thought which, admittedly, is ever vulnerable to crisis and weakening, but which can always be reactivated.

January 2025Über die Malerei
Vorlesungen März-Juni 1981 | Die legendären Vorlesungen des großen Philosophen
by Gilles Deleuze, Bernd Schwibs
Welche Beziehung hat die Malerei zur Katastrophe, zum Chaos? Was ist eine Linie, eine Ebene, ein optischer Raum? Gibt es so etwas wie Farbregime? Von 1970 bis 1987 hielt Gilles Deleuze eine wöchentliche Vorlesung an der legendären Experimentaluniversität Vincennes, die immer wieder in die Schlagzeilen und in Konflikt mit der Staatsmacht geriet. Die acht Vorlesungen von 1981, die in diesem Band nun erstmals veröffentlicht werden, zeigen Deleuze in action . Sie sind ganz der Frage der Malerei und der schöpferischen Kraft gewidmet. Das Nachdenken über Werke von Cézanne, van Gogh, Michelangelo, Turner, Klee, Pollock, Mondrian, Bacon, Delacroix, Gauguin oder Caravaggio sind für Deleuze der willkommene Anlass, wichtige philosophische Konzepte aufzurufen und zu durchdenken: Diagramm, Code, digital und analog, Modulation und andere mehr. Gemeinsam mit seinen Studierenden erneuert er diese Begriffe und stellt unser Verständnis der kreativen Tätigkeit der Kunstschaffenden auf den Kopf. Konkret und fröhlich wird Deleuze' Denken hier in seiner Bewegung nachvollziehbar und lebendig.
