Summary:
The field of art, as this issue proposes, currently seems to be undergoing a similar upheaval to what Cythia and Harrison White identified as the replacement of the Salon system by the dealer-critic system in the 19th century. While this saw art dealers and critics become far more important in processes of value formation, the significance of criticism seems to have gradually waned since the 1990s. Gallerists and curators have now also lost some of their former influence, leading to fundamental shifts in the power relations of the art economy. This issue analyzes the question of whether and how the current situation differs from previous crises in the art market from the perspectives of art history, the art trade, and the auction sphere, and in view of major political and technological changes.

Summary:
The current boom in misogynistic dynamics and topoi builds on a long tradition of gender discrimination against women while also – as this issue argues – exploiting recent technological and political developments. Rather than examining individual sexist practices or remarks in isolation, our current issue addresses misogyny as a cross-cultural phenomenon that expresses a(...)

Summary:
The current boom in misogynistic dynamics and topoi builds on a long tradition of gender discrimination against women while also – as this issue argues – exploiting recent technological and political developments. Rather than examining individual sexist practices or remarks in isolation, our current issue addresses misogyny as a cross-cultural phenomenon that expresses a deep-seated, albeit often unconscious, derogatory attitude toward women. In doing so, the focus is on how this attitude is manifested in literature, art, and pop culture, as well in prevailing media and sociopolitical conditions.

Summary:
Ever since the term Middle Ages came into use, this historical era has been inextricably bound up with notions of alterity. Beginning in the 14th century, the picture of a dark age was utilized as a foil to set off the ideals of Renaissance enlightenment and humanism; later on, the Romantics pioneered the vision of the Middle Ages as an era unspoiled by advancing(...)

Summary:
Ever since the term Middle Ages came into use, this historical era has been inextricably bound up with notions of alterity. Beginning in the 14th century, the picture of a dark age was utilized as a foil to set off the ideals of Renaissance enlightenment and humanism; later on, the Romantics pioneered the vision of the Middle Ages as an era unspoiled by advancing industrialization, onto which they projected their longing for a way of life in harmony with nature and spirituality. The temptation to escape the complex and unsettled present for an allegedly simpler past is also characteristic of references to the Middle Ages in contemporary pop culture and politics. This issue of TEXTE ZUR KUNST counters such simplistic perspectives with a more nuanced portrayal of the Middle Ages that acknowledges historical parallels and continuities as well as contradictions.

In the spheres of culture, journalism, and politics, urgent desires for better understanding are often met with offers of dialogue. But as Western societies have become increasingly polarized, such reciprocal engagement has lost some of its constructive potential.

Summary:
In the spheres of culture, journalism, and politics, urgent desires for better understanding are often met with offers of dialogue. But as Western societies have become increasingly polarized, such reciprocal engagement has lost some of its constructive potential. This is why ''TEXTE ZUR KUNST'' has dedicated its new issue, “Lecture,” to an investigation of the possibilities that the monological format opens up. The contributions to the issue demonstrate how the lecture’s inherently authoritarian interpellation can be repurposed for a critique of power and for subversive ends, highlighting, in particular, the lecture performance as a potent intervention into established hierarchies and regimes of knowledge. In a practical extension of these discussions, six artists and scholars reflect on the approaches, structures, rhetorics, and methodologies of their presentations in video lectures produced for the issue.

The escalation of ecological, military, and capitalist destruction has dominated current developments in many places. This issue of TEXTE ZUR KUNST puts forward two psychanalytical concepts that lend themselves to describing destructive tendencies, as well as to possible ways of redirecting aggression away from violence and into creative work: the death drive and(...)

Summary:
The escalation of ecological, military, and capitalist destruction has dominated current developments in many places. This issue of TEXTE ZUR KUNST puts forward two psychanalytical concepts that lend themselves to describing destructive tendencies, as well as to possible ways of redirecting aggression away from violence and into creative work: the death drive and sublimation. Contributions subject these concepts to a discursive stress test and set them in relation to historical and contemporary examples of artistic production. Although this does not alleviate structural hopelessness and its affective dimension, it makes these amenable to negotiation.
