Costantino Ciervo
Aus seiner Sammlung präsentiert das museum FLUXUS+ bislang nicht gezeigte Arbeiten des in Berlin lebenden Italieners Costantino Ciervo. Der Maler, Grafiker und Medienkünstler wurde in seiner Jugend vom politischen Klima in den 70er Jahren in Neapel geprägt, was vielleicht die Frage beantwortet, warum gesellschaftspolitische Themen für ihn so zentral sind. Zu Beginn der 1990er Jahre begann Ciervo mit technischen Apparaturen zu experimentieren und nahm an der Biennale von Venedig mit einer interaktiven Skulptur teil. Die Zeitlosigkeit der Arbeiten Ciervos begründet sich aus ihrer Widmung für existenzielle Fragen der Menschheit und kunsttheoretischen Überlegungen, die seine Zeitgenossens...

Beyond hegemony
Since the Enlightenment, liberal democrat governments in Europe and North America have been compelled to secure the legitimacy of their authority by constructing rational states whose rationality is based on modern forms of law. The first serious challenge to liberal democratic practices of legal legitimacy comes in Marx’s early writings on Rousseau and Hegel. Marx discovers the limits of formal legal equality that does not address substantive relations of inequality in the workplace and in many other spheres of social life. Beyond Hegemony investigates the authoritarianism and breakdown of those state socialist governments in Russia and elsewhere which claim to put Marx’s ideas on democ...
Critical Theory in the Twenty-First Century
Critical Theory in the Twenty-First Century provides a thorough overview of critical theory, looking at its history and shortfalls. First, the book explains the developments from the Frankfurt School and from more recent schools of thought, including Derrida, Deleuze, deconstruction, and post-structuralism. Then it looks at how critical theory has not kept pace with the changes and conflicts brought on by the post-Cold War world and globalization and how its deficits can be addressed. For the author, more than ever critical theory needs to synthesize theoretical perspective and empirical research. It also needs to be reconfigured in the light of the demands of new social movements, post-colonialism, and globalization. This volume is part of Critical Theory and Contemporary Society, a series that uses critical theory to explore contemporary society as a complex phenomenon and includes works on democracy, social movements, and terrorism. A unique resource, Critical Theory in the Twenty First Century will interest anyone researching issues in political theory, international relations theory, social theory, and critical theory.

Public/Private - Private/Public: Kunst zwischen Öffentlichkeit und Privatheit
Das Jubiläumssymposium im 60. Jahr der Fluxusbewegung stand unter der Überschrift "Public/Private - Private/Public: Kunst zwischen Öffentlichkeit und Privatheit". Zentral war die Frage der öffentlichen Beteiligung an der Manifestation künstlerischer Ideen. Auch private Einblicke in eine Künstlerfreundschaft geben Aufschluss über den Kontext der Entstehung von Fluxus. Die abschließende Diskussion stellt sich die Frage nach der Kunst im öffentlichen Raum im Zeitalter der Digitalisierung. Dieser Band versammelt Beiträge und Perspektiven aus dem Kontext der Sammlung des museum FLUXUS+ in Potsdam, ausgehend von den Ausstellungen Concrete Cadillacs - Wolf Vostells Anti-Denkmal der Konsumgesellschaft und Costantino Ciervo - Touchable/Untouchable (Use the Send Protest App!) des vergangenen Jahres.
The History of the Left from Marx to the Present
Focuses on Marx's theories and the diverse struggles for human emancipation that have characterized European and world history since the French Revolution. This title explores the crucial question of how to institutionalize the relation between humanity and nature in a free society of fully humanized individuals.
Critical theory and sociological theory
Democracy in the twenty-first century faces a number of major challenges, populism, neoliberalism and globalisation being three of the most prominent. This book examines such challenges by investigating how the conditions of democratic statehood have been altered at several key historical intervals since 1945. It demonstrates that the formal mechanisms of democratic statehood, such as elections, have always been complemented by civic, cultural, educational, socio-economic and constitutional institutions that mediate between citizens and state authority. Rearticulating critical theory with a contemporary focus, the book shows why a sociological approach is urgently needed to address conceptual deficits and explain how the formal mechanisms of democratic statehood need to be complemented and updated in new ways today.
