In the World Interior of Capital
Displaying the distinctive combination of narration and philosophy for which he is well known, this new book by Peter Sloterdijk develops a radically new account of globalization at the beginning of the twenty-first century. The author takes seriously the historical and philosophical consequences of the notion of the earth as a globe, arriving at the thesis that what is praised or decried as globalization is actually the end phase in a process that began with the first circumnavigation of the earth Ð and that one can already discern elements of a new era beyond globalization. In the end phase of globalization, the world system completed its development and, as a capitalist system, came to d...
Quote, Double Quote
The boundary between ‘high’ culture and ‘popular’ culture is neither hermetic nor stable. A wide-spread mechanism of a reception strongly influenced by structuralism and post-modernism has led to the amplification and acceleration of cultural production between these two poles. Relying on a decidedly theoretical approach, this volume offers a broad perspective transgressing linguistic, cultural, temporal, and media borders. Reflections and perspectives on the relationship between ‘high’ and ‘popular’ culture are the subject of the thirteen articles collected here. Side by side with theoretical approaches, case studies covering classical and Heavy Metal music, TV series and pornographic films, zombies and ‘Creature Features’, philosophically infused comics and popular lexicography, professional wrestling and hypertext literature pave the way to a contemporary aesthetics.

Einbruchstellen
This book summarises an exhibition staged by Katja Strunz in 2008 in her Galerie CFA in Berlin. It underlines - perhaps better than any other publication - the unity of the work, in which the starting point for the artist also often comprises found material. In this way, the past's present, the very history in the materials themselves, not only remains visible - as in the case of an 'objet trouvé' - but the realisation is that everything is in a state of permanent transition is also conveyed, that a constantly self-enriching point of attraction for new meanings can emerge in the very deformation of still visible structures and properties. In this way, one might say that her work is doubly charged.-- Source other than the Library of Congress.

Metamorphosing Dante
After almost seven centuries, Dante endures and even seems to haunt the present. Metamorphosing Dante explores what so many authors, artists and thinkers from varied backgrounds have found in Dante’s oeuvre, and the ways in which they have engaged with it through rewritings, dialogues, and transpositions. By establishing trans-disciplinary routes, the volume shows that, along with a corpus of multiple linguistic and narrative structures, characters, and stories, Dante has provided a field of tensions in which to mirror and investigate one’s own time. Authors explored include Samuel Beckett, Walter Benjamin, André Gide, Derek Jarman, LeRoi Jones/Amiri Baraka, James Joyce, Wolfgang Koeppen, Jacques Lacan, Thomas Mann, James Merrill, Eugenio Montale, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Cesare Pavese, Giorgio Pressburger, Robert Rauschenberg, Vittorio Sereni, Virginia Woolf.
En el mundo interior del capital
A la conexión entre relato y filosofía, que constituye la característica más sobresaliente de los libros de Peter Sloterdijk, hay que añadir el hecho de que a comienzos del siglo XXI se pueda contar con algo radicalmente revolucionario con respecto a la globalización. Esto se debe a que el autor se toma en serio las consecuencias histórico-filosóficas que van unidas a la imagen de la Tierra como globo, proponiendo la tesis de que lo que se elogia o vitupera como globalización es la fase final de un proceso y de que ya es posible detectar elementos de una nueva época ulterior a la globalización. En la fase final de la globalización el sistema mundial se ha desarrollado plenamente ...
