        Cases of citation

        On literature in art

        by Chloe Julius, Michael Green, Matthew Holman

        Cases of citation presents a history of artists who incorporated literary references into their work from the 1960s onwards. Through a series of object-focused chapters that each take up a singular 'case of citation', the collection considers how literary citation emerged as a viable and urgent strategy for artists during this period. It surveys eleven artworks by a diverse group of artists - including David Wojnarowicz, Lis Rhodes, Romare Bearden and Silvia Kolbowski - whose citations draw on works as varied as Karl Marx's Das Kapital and Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. The book also features an interview with pioneering feminist artist Elaine Reichek that discusses her career-long commitment to working with text. Together, the artworks and cited texts are approached from various critical angles, with each author questioning and complicating the ways in which we can 'read' textual citations in art.

        Verdinglichung

        Eine anerkennungstheoretische Studie

        by Axel Honneth

        In dieser Studie wird der Versuch einer Reaktualisierung des klassischen Begriffs der Verdinglichung unternommen, dessen Bedeutungsgehalt bei näherer Betrachtung erheblich verschwimmt. Axel Honneth schlägt in Rückgriff auf Lukács, Heidegger und Deweys einen anerkennungstheoretischen Begriff der Verdinglichung vor, der sich auch gesellschaftstheoretisch fruchtbar machen lässt. In ihren luziden Kommentaren diskutieren Judith Butler, Raymond Geuss und Jonathan Lear diesen Vorschlag.

        The absurdity of bureaucracy

        How implementation works

        by Nina Holm Vohnsen. Series edited by Professor Rod Rhodes

        The absurdity of bureaucracy offers a humorous ethnographic account of policy implementation set in contemporary Danish bureaucracy. Taking the reader deep into the hallways of governmental administration and municipal caseworkers' offices, the book sets out to explore what characterizes policy implementation as a mode of human agency. Using the notions of absurdity and sense-making as lenses through which to explore the dynamic relationship between a policy and its effects, the book reclaims 'implementation studies' for the qualitative sciences and emphasizes the existential dilemma that any policymaker and implementer must confront. Following step-by-step the planning and implementation of the randomized controlled trial, Active - Back Sooner, the book sets out to show that 'going wrong' is not a question of implementation failure but is in fact the only way in which implementation may happen.

        On the Purposes of Life and Whether They Exist

        A philosophical fitting

        by Axel Braig

        The musician, doctor and philosopher Axel Braig considers philosophy a little like the weather: he looks for the right clothes for every situation. Braig is primarily concerned with practical, effective things from the two-and-a-half millennia fund of (Western) thinking, such as helpful approaches in existential crises. In this book, he introduces us to philosophical thinkers from Plato to Montaigne to Levinas and Feyerabend. Braig not only shares his own philosophical biography, but above all encourages us to philosophise ourselves.

        Theorien des Historischen Materialismus

        by Axel Honneth, Urs Jaeggi, Axel Honneth

        Urs Jaeggi, geboren 1931 in Solothurn (Schweiz), ist Ordinarius für Soziologie an der Freien Universität Berlin (Fachbereich 11, Philosophie und Sozialwissenschaften). Wissenschaftliche Publikationen u.a.: Kapital und Arbeit in der Bundesrepublik (1973); Literarut und Politik (1972); Für und wider die revolutionäre Ungeduld, Aufsätze und Notizen (1972); Theoretische Praxis. Probleme eines strukturalen Marxismus (1976); Die SPD in der Krise (zus. mit J. Brauns u.a.) (1976). Axel Honneth, geboren 1949 in Essen, studierte Philosophie, Soziologie und Germanistik in Bochum und Berlin und ist heute Assistent am Institut für Soziologie der Freien Universität Berlin. Der von Marx und Engels begründete »Historische Materialismus« ist die historisch folgenreichste und bis heute einzige Theorie, die aus einer universalgeschichtlichen Erklärung sozio-ökonomischer Prozesse praktische Perspektiven für gesellschaftliche Emanzipation ableitet. Zugleich gibt es kaum eine andere Theorie, die nicht nur von der Seite ihrer Gegner her, sondern auch bei denen, die sie vertreten, auf vergleichbare Weise umstritten wäre. So möchte der Band die vier Interpretationsansätze dokumentieren, von denen her die derzeitige Diskussion über den »Historischen Materialismus« geführt wird, und von denen anzunehmen ist, daß sie auch die Diskussion der nächsten Jahre beherrschen werden: (I) die Tradition des (orthodoxen) Marxismus-Leninismus, (II) der »westeuropäische« kritische Marxismus, (III) der (französische) strukturale Marxismus und (IV) die materialistische Theorie der sozialen Evolution (im Rahmen der »Kritischen Theorie«).
