A Fragile Inheritance
In A Fragile Inheritance Saloni Mathur investigates the work of two seminal figures from the global South: the New Delhi-based critic and curator Geeta Kapur and contemporary multimedia artist Vivan Sundaram. Examining their written and visual works over the past fifty years, Mathur illuminates how her protagonists’ political and aesthetic commitments intersect and foreground uncertainty, difficulty, conflict, and contradiction. This book presents new understandings of the culture and politics of decolonization and the role of non-Western aesthetic avant-gardes within the discourses of contemporary art. Through skillful interpretation of Sundaram's and Kapur’s practices, Mathur demonstrates how received notions of mainstream art history may be investigated and subjected to creative redefinition. Her scholarly methodology offers an impassioned model of critical aesthetics and advances a radical understanding of art and politics in our time.
TEXT + KRITIK 213 - Kurt Drawert
Kurt Drawert gilt als eine der "wichtigsten und unbestechlichsten poetischen Stimmen des Landes" (Joachim Sartorius). Sein Schaffen bewegt sich in den Spannungsverhältnissen zwischen dem Begehren des Einzelnen, den Sinnproduktionen über Sprache und Sprechen sowie den gesellschaftlichen Verfasstheiten unserer Zeit. Er brilliert dabei in allen Gattungen: im Gedicht ebenso wie in der Prosa, im Theaterstück wie im Roman und im Essay. Das Heft unternimmt eine erste umfassende Besichtigung von Drawerts Werk. Neben gattungsspezifischen Analysen enthält es ein unveröffentlichtes Gedicht des Autors, Originalbeiträge ihm nahestehender Schriftsteller und Schriftstellerinnen, ein umfangreiches Gespräch mit seinem Lektor Martin Hielscher sowie eine Auswahlbibliografie.

In the debates since 1945 on German history and culture, the concept of generations has become ever more prominent. Recent and ongoing shifts in how the various generations are seen -- and see themselves -- in relation to historyand to each other have taken on key importance in contemporary German cultural studies. The seismic events of twentieth-century German history are no longer solely first-generational lived experiences but are also historical moments seen through the eyes of successor generations. The generation, seen as a category of memory, thus holds a key to major shifts in Ger...
