While serving a prison term as a political prisoner for his involvement with the dissident paramilitary group, the Organisation armée secrète (OAS), Dominique Venner sought to write a text that would synthesize the vast domain of right-wing thought into a coherent political doctrine. 'For a Positive Critique' is the manifesto that resulted.
The shock of history: we live it, neither knowing or comprehending it. France, Europe, and the world have entered into a new era of thought, attitudes, and powers. This shock of history makes clear the fact that there is no such thing as an insurmountable destiny. The time will come for Europe to awaken, to respond to the challenges of immigration, toxic ideologies, the perils of globalism, and the confusion that assails her. But under what conditions? That is the question to which this book responds. Conceived in the form of a lively and dynamic interview with a historian who, after taking part in history himself, never ceased to study and reflect upon it. In this text, the first of his major works to appear in English, Dominique Venner recounts the great movements of European history, the origin of its thought, and its tragedies. He proposes new paths and offers powerful examples to ward off decadence, and to understand the history in which we are immersed and in which we lead our lives.

Over the past 50 years artist Gerry Bibby has inserted narratives and instructional texts into his artworks as acts of tactical withdrawal. The Drumhead, Bibbys first publication, includes a series of his Language Costumes or fragmentary texts which, like William Burroughss The Wild Boys or Robert Walsers The Walk, attest to an offended intelligence. Moving across performance, sculpture and writing, Gerry Bibbys artworks take form at the uncomfortable fissures between the three. His Language Costumes arrive at these junctions as self-styled instructional texts, photocopy machine manuals, drinks menus and poetic passages. His captivating passages brim with wit, wry observation and occasionally with disgust, offering viewers ways out even if only at the time of reading. Commissioned by If I Cant Dance, I Dont Want to Be Part of Your Revolution, The Drumhead follows a two-year collaboration with KUB Arena of the Kunsthaus Bregenz, The Showroom London, CCA Glasgow, and the Institute of Modern Art, Brisbane.
