In the second volume of Through Loving Words, each poet recounts the intense emotions of loving deeply and then losing that passionate connection. This collection of poems describes the deeply personal experience that comes with giving your whole heart to someone only to have it be crushed, leaving you feeling utterly broken and alone. But, losing a love does not always mean depression and despair. Some use heartbreak as a catalyst to learn and grow, resulting in an even greater love. For those who have nursed a broken heart, this collection of poems will surely resonate. After all, Alfred Lord Tennyson said it best when he quipped "'tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all." Romantic regret can be hard to handle, but if you can learn from it and allow it to shape how you approach future relationships, you'll undoubtedly experience greater love in the future.
Since the 1990s, critics and curators have broadly accepted the notion that participatory art is the ultimate political art: that by encouraging an audience to take part an artist can promote new emancipatory social relations. Around the world, the champions of this form of expression are numerous, ranging from art historians such as Grant Kester, curators such as Nicolas Bourriaud and Nato Thompson, to performance theorists such as Shannon Jackson. Artificial Hells is the first historical and theoretical overview of socially engaged participatory art, known in the US as "social practice." Claire Bishop follows the trajectory of twentieth-century art and examines key moments in the developme...
This searing critique of participatory art—from its development to its political ambitions—is “an essential title for contemporary art history scholars and students as well as anyone who has . . . thought, ‘Now that’s art!’ or ‘That’s art?’” (Library Journal) Since the 1990s, critics and curators have broadly accepted the notion that participatory art is the ultimate political art: that by encouraging an audience to take part an artist can promote new emancipatory social relations.

This study proposes to examine the tension in Nietzsche’s works between two competing discourses, i.e., the discourse of theology and the discourse of philology. It argues that, in order to understand Nietzsche’s complicated standpoint and the aim of his Kulturkritik, we have to appreciate how he operates with two different discourses, one indexed to belief, faith, liturgy (i.e., the discourse of theology) and another indexed to analytical reason, sceptical investigation, and logical argumentation, as well as historical context and linguistic precision (i.e., the discourse of philology). Its core thesis is that, in the end, Nietzsche can no longer believe, because he thinks he has uncovered a fraudulent production of meaning in the texts, in a way that is comparable with his insight into the production of morality in On the Genealogy of Morals (1887).
