Summary:
This ninth issue of e-flux Index interweaves a selection of pieces published by e-flux throughout the Summer of 2025, and is divided into two parts. In six chapters that index the state of ''Art and Theory Today'', the first part revisits the primal scene of the Theory Wars—the tenor of which has changed, from an urgent ideological contest between humanist objectivity and postmodern relativism, to a more even-handed, pragmatic, and pluralist one, in the decades since. It brings together material that the various independent publishing arms of e-flux published around the theme of the often-fraught relations between theory and (artistic, architectural, pedagogic, political) practice. The second part of Index #9, ''This world, this mutilated space'', moves onto the terrain of the Forever War, examining the resilience shown by artistic communities living on its multiplying frontlines, the deepening climate war against the nonhuman world, and those displaced by these processes of destruction. As international relations "realists" like John Mearsheimer have regularly observed on the 24/7 war-pundit circuit since the illegal strike on Ayatollah Khamenei two months ago, the Iran War is a conflict which also displays no "logical sequence of thought"—which has no theory. This is a war whose aggressors (Netanyahu–Ben-Gvir and Trump–Hegseth–Rubio) seem less in hock to Carl von Clausewitz than to the instant dopaminergic kill-feed of a fifteen-year-old hooked on ''Call of Duty'' missions—with strategy configured as content, war as engagement metric.

Summary:
''Come Closer: The Biennale Reader,'' published on the occasion of the inaugural Prague biennale, considers the present via counter-hegemonic readings of the past. The book explores various perspectives of class, race, and gender differences in post-socialist states, past and present. In societies today that can seem fragmented, alienated, and sealed-off, a feeling of "us" and "them" can potentially emerge. The reliance on a common language to bring people closer often does the opposite, leading to feelings of contempt, anxiety, and fear. By drawing attention to themes of intimacy, care, and empathy, the contributions in this book search for new types of communication that can bring people together. Like language, art can be used to mediate these differences, and to examine issues relating to how people coexist in society.
