Savrulmuş metinler, yüz yıllar boyunca manifestolar olarak adlandırıldılar fakat Marx ve Engels'in Manifesto'su, bu metinleri ayrı bir tür olarak bir araya getirdi. Manifesto'nun, türün daha sonraki tarihi içindeki üstünlüğünün anlamı, manifestonun tarihinin, aynı zamanda, sosyalizmin tarihini de şarta bağlaması gerektiğiydi. Antonio Gramsci, Kenneth Burke, Louis Altusser ve Perry Anderson da dâhil olmak üzere, birçok Marxist eleştirmen, manifestoların, toplumsal teoriyi, siyasi eylemleri ve şiirsel ifadeleri nasıl bir araya getirdiklerini belirlerken bana oldukça yardımcı oldular. Bu kitabın başlıca önermelerinden bir tanesi manifestonun nasıl ve neden yirminci yüzyıldaki sanat dünyasına girdiğini açıklamaktır.
“A fine and selective anthology that’s also a critical introduction to some of the most provocative, and some of the most original, poetry out there.” —Stephanie Burt, author of Don’t Read Poetry: A Book About How to Read Poems The American Poets in the 21st Century series continues with another anthology focused on female poets.

This unique organization makes these books invaluable teaching tools. Broadening the lens through which we look at contemporary poetry, this new volume extends its geo...
What is an art of life for what feels like the end of a world? In Raving McKenzie Wark takes readers into the undisclosed locations of New York’s thriving underground queer and trans rave scene. Techno, first and always a Black music, invites fresh sonic and temporal possibilities for this era of diminishing futures. Raving to techno is an art and a technique at which queer and trans bodies might be particularly adept but which is for anyone who lets the beat seduce them. Extending the rave’s sensations, situations, fog, lasers, drugs, and pounding sound systems onto the page, Wark invokes a trans practice of raving as a timely aesthetic for dancing in the ruins of this collapsing capital.
"'The Situationist Times' was a magazine edited and published by the Dutch artist Jacqueline de Jong during the years 1962-67. In its multilingual, transdisciplinary, and cross-cultural exuberance, it became one of the most exciting and playful magazines of the 1960s. Throughout its six remarkably diverse issues, 'The Situationist Times' challenges the notion of what it means to be a situationist, as well as traditional understandings of culture in the broader sense and of how culture is created, formatted, and shared. 'These Are Situationist Times!' provides an in-depth history of the magazine while probing its contemporary relevance. The book also presents Hans Brinkman for a never realized seventh issue of 'The Situationist Times,' devoted to the game of pinball."--Page 4 of cover.

This comprehensive monograph chronicles his singular trajectory, featuring canonical and hitherto unpublished texts by Jorn, and charting his exits from, and returns to, painting.
The Optical Unconscious is a pointed protest against the official story of modernism and against the critical tradition that attempted to define modern art according to certain sacred commandments and self-fulfilling truths. The account of modernism presented here challenges the vaunted principle of "vision itself." And it is a very different story than we have ever read, not only because its insurgent plot and characters rise from below the calm surface of the known and law-like field of modernist painting, but because the voice is unlike anything we have heard before. Just as the artists of the optical unconscious assaulted the idea of autonomy and visual mastery, Rosalind Krauss abandons ...
A "dirty materialist" ride through the media cultures of pirate radio, photography, the Internet, media art, cultural evolution, and surveillance.
A book that acts both as library and exhibition space, selecting, arranging, and housing texts and images, aligning itself with printed matter in the process. Fantasies of the Library lets readers experience the library anew. The book imagines, and enacts, the library as both keeper of books and curator of ideas—as a platform of the future. One essay occupies the right-hand page of a two-page spread while interviews scrolls independently on the left. Bibliophilic artworks intersect both throughout the book-as-exhibition. A photo essay, “Reading Rooms Reading Machines” further interrupts the book in order to display images of libraries (old and new, real and imagined), and readers (huma...
Completed just weeks before his death, the lectures in this volume mark a critical juncture in the career of Roland Barthes, in which he declared the intention, deeply felt, to write a novel. Unfolding over the course of two years, Barthes engaged in a unique pedagogical experiment: he combined teaching and writing to "simulate" the trial of novel-writing, exploring every step of the creative process along the way. Barthes's lectures move from the desire to write to the actual decision making, planning, and material act of producing a novel. He meets the difficulty of transitioning from short, concise notations (exemplified by his favorite literary form, haiku) to longer, uninterrupted flows...
