Agamben

Paul B. Precious: Testo Junkie. Sex, drugs and biopolitics in the pharmacopornographic age

DESIRE: On the intersex subject and revolutionary impatience. A resistance made possible by the 'potentia gaudendi', the reserve of unrestrained 'pleasure potency' which constitutes the basic assumption of the philosophy of desire from Reich to Deleuze and Guattari. 'Polemical non-fiction'? Paul B. Preciado takes up Engels' confrontation with the norms of "the family, the state and private property".

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: Is it only now that individualism, the cultivation of individuals, with new technology such as ChatGPT, is about to change?

Alessio Iocchi: Living through Crisis by Lake Chad. Violence, Labor and Resources

AFRICA: What can a book say about Boko Haram or the porous border between today's Cameroon and today's Chad? Or about the pre-colonial kingdom of Kanem-Bornu?

Donatella DiCesare: The Time of Revolt

PHILOSOPHY: The immune democracy. According to the Italian philosopher Donatella Di Cwesare, there exists today a political culture ruled by the fear of the foreigner and the future, a sham democracy in favor of security, control and short-term competitive considerations. And those who consider themselves "liberal" today have suffered greatly in standing up to the irrational impulses and decisions that govern the market and the pursuit of short-term profit.

Deborah Levitt: The Animatic Apparatus

TECHNOLOGY: What can we say about the ever-increasing technological and state-of-the-art sphere we live in? Animations and simulations appear more and more as "living organisms", while biological life has increasingly become "artificial".

Foster's thing: What Comes after Farce: Art and Criticism at a Time of Debacle

ART: Is there no longer anything to reveal or distort?

George Agamben: Creation and Anarchy. The work of Art and the Religion of Capitalism

AGAMBE: The archeology of religion, art, politics, and capitalism is not a search for any kind of origin – but a search for a foundation that tears past notions to the root.

George Agamben: The Fire and the Tale

: Georgio Agamben brings the reader on the trail of the essential questions about the transforming power of literature – the relationship to the mystery of life itself. 

George Agamben: Community to come

: The community to come is a learned, rich, complex and sometimes obscure text. Here and there it borders on the mystery: Agamben empties the ram of a patriarchal God the Father with one hand and re-establishes with Spinoza the divinity of all things with the other, before pulling it all back into the profane, and then holding the "solution." a trembling aura, ahead of us.
