Außeruniversitäre Aktion. Wissenschaft und Gesellschaft im Gespräch
Gesellschaftskritik findet in der Wissenschaft meist nicht ihres Eigenwertes wegen Beachtung, sondern wird als Beispiel für die eigene Theoriebildung verwendet und in die bestehende universitäre Artikulationsform eingepasst. Die Zeitschrift »Außeruniversitäre Aktion« hat den Anspruch, den sozial- und geisteswissenschaftlichen Diskurs für außeruniversitär bestehendes Denken und vor allem kritische Praxisformen zu öffnen. Die zweite Ausgabe widmet sich Fragen nach Grenzen jenseits der Geografie: Wie gestalten sich Grenzen von Körpern? Welche Grenzen erfahren Menschen durch Diskriminierungen? Welche Voraussetzungen für Grenzziehungen gibt es und wo kommt es darauf an, Grenzen zu überschreiten?

Road to war
Rainer Ganahl is a man obsessed, which he reveals in ways viewers tap into immediately: he covers white canvases with the text of his Google searches, starting with "terroroism." He traces the borders on the front page of The New York Times, filling in only the headlines that catch his eye. He videotapes the hundreds of hours he spends studying Arabic. He asks what knowledge can do. Good question.

Contemporary Cultures of Display
Contiene:
Objects Recognized in Flashes
Objects Recognized in Flashes' is the title of a group exhibition focusing on surfaces of photographs, products, and bodies. The exhibition was developed by the curator in consultation with the artists Michele Abeles, Annette Kelm, Josephine Pryde, and Eileen Quinlan. It asks how our largely mediatized society deals with and relates analogue and digital images. How are relations between material and immateriality, body, screen and photographic surface constituted? In our contemporary consumer culture, products and questions of commodity aesthetics are becoming more and more significant. This is not without consequences for our use of photographic images. Ubiquitous advertising, marketing, and product presentation create imaginary visual standards that have now become a firm fixture of our self representations in photos on social media platforms. The works by the four artists in the exhibition respond both in respect to each other, and to this changing context.
Manhattan Marxism
The artist Rainer Ganahl has been creatively adapting the writings of Karl Marx to his own work since the 1990s. The German philosopher's ideas have galvanized projects such as Ganahl's irreverent fashion show Commes des Marxists, a series of obscene food sculptures inspired by the "credit crunch" of 2008, and a Karl Marx fire extinguisher, which allows the thinker's wisdom to be sprayed onto any conflict. There has never been a more fitting time, however, for the release of this book, which appears on the 10th anniversary of the global financial crisis, and 200 years after Marx's birth. In more than 700 pages, Manhattan Marxism assembles essays, photos, and other documentation from dozens of Ganahl's Marx-themed projects from the past decade.
