The Being of Analogy
In The Being of Analogy, Noah Roderick unleashes similarity onto the world of objects. Inspired by object-oriented theories of causality, Roderick argues that similarity is ever present at the birth of new objects. This includes the emergent similarity of new mental objects, such as categories-a phenomenon we recognize as analogy. Analogy, Roderick contends, is at the very heart of cognition and communication, and it is through analogy that we can begin dismantling the impossible wall between knowing and being.
Materialism and Politics
What remains of materialism’s subversive potential — i.e., its ties with heresy or atheism and republicanism or communism — and to what extent does this concept still interpellate us politically and philosophically? As neoliberal policies expanded far beyond the state, their mechanisms of control seeped into the materiality of social reproduction, solidifying a conception of matter as something inert, to be appropriated, manipulated, and exploited. If in this context the subversive nature of a reference to materiality is called into question, it has also provoked new forms of resistance, as well as fundamental reconsiderations of the political implications of the notion of ‘matter’...

Movement of knowledge
Medicinsk kunskap är alltid i rörelse. Den kan färdas från laboratoriet till kontoret, med en pressrelease till en patient, via en vetenskaplig artikel till en tjänsteman och kanske vidare till en beslutsfattare. Förflyttningen till olika sammanhang har betydelse för hur kunskapen uppfattas och används, vilket i sin tur kan påverka inriktningen på både forskning och politiska beslut. Komplexiteten hos medicinsk kunskap och de konsekvenser som den får står i fokus i antologin Movement of knowledge. Författarna undersöker hur kunskap präglar de medicinska och folkhälsoorienterade rummen och granskar samtidigt de metodologiska och teoretiska verktygen vi har för att studera kunskap och kunskapsflöden. I sina texter anlägger forskarna en tvärvetenskaplig syn på medicinsk humaniora och visar med såväl samtida som historiska perspektiv på hur gränssnittet mellan experter och allmänhet kan studeras. Medicinsk kunskap dekonstrueras, rekonstrueras och omformas när den rör sig mellan patienter, vårdgivare och samhället i stort. Att en behandlingsmetod godkänns eller underkänns utifrån medicinska fakta är något som i slutänden påverkar oss alla.
Art and Cosmotechnics
In light of current discourses on AI and robotics, what do the various experiences of art contribute to the rethinking of technology today? Art and Cosmotechnics addresses the challenge of technology to the existence of art and traditional thought, especially in light of current discourses on artificial intelligence and robotics. It carries out an attempt on the cosmotechnics of Chinese landscape painting in order to address this question, and further asks: What is the significance of shanshui (mountain and water) in face of the new challenges brought about by the current technological transformation? Thinking art and cosmotechnics together is an attempt to look into the varieties of experiences of art and to ask what these experiences might contribute to the rethinking of technology today.

Soft Water Hard Stone
The official catalogue for the 2021 New Museum Triennial, a global survey of today's up-and-coming artists. The New Museum's Triennial, curated by Jamilla James and Margot Norton, is a signature survey of emerging artists from around the world.
