Summary:
"This Young Monster" is a hallucinatory celebration of artists who raise hell, transform their bodies, anger their elders and show their audience dark, disturbing things. What does it mean to be a freak? Why might we be wise to think of the present as a time of monstrosity?

What does it mean to be a freak? Why might we be wise to think of the present as a time of monstrosity? And how does the concept of the monster irradiate our thinking about queerness, disability, children and adolescents? From "Twin Peaks" to Leigh Bowery, Harmony Korine to Alice in Wonderland, "This Young Monster" gets high on a whole range of riotous art as its voice and form shape-shift, all in the name of dealing with the strange wonders of what Nabokov once called ‘monsterhood’.

Désormais, ce sont ceux qui débarquent, privés de moyens, dans un nouveau pays et recherchent de l’aide auprès de comités de réfugiés. Hannah Arendt exprime la difficulté à évoquer ce passé tout récent. Pas d’histoires d’enfance ou de fantômes donc, mais le regard rivé sur l’avenir et, si possible, prédit par le ciel plutôt qu’inscrit dans la terre.

Are you bored of the endless scroll of your social media feed? Do you swipe left before considering the human being whose face you just summarily rejected? Do you skim articles on your screen in search of intellectual stimulation that never arrives? If so, this book is the philosophical lifeline you have been waiting for. Offering a timely meditation on the profound effects of constant immersion in technology, also known as the ''Interface,'' ''Wish I Were Here'' draws on philosophical analysis of boredom and happiness to examine the pressing issues of screen addiction and the lure of online outrage. Without moralizing, Mark Kingwell takes seriously the possibility that current conditions of life and connection are creating hollowed-out human selves, divorced from their own external world.

The aim of this book is a recovery of interest in the experience of meaning. Jan Zwicky defends the claim that we experience meaning in the apprehension of wholes and their internal structural relations, providing examples of such insight in mathematics and physics, literature, music, and Plato's ancient theory of forms. Taken together, these essays constitute a powerful indictment of the aggressive reductionism and the reliance on calculative modes of thought that dominate our present conception of understanding. "The Experience of Meaning" proposes a more just epistemology, arguing for a new grammar of thought, a new way of understanding the relationship of human intelligence to the world. Engaging with philosophy, psychology, literature, fine arts, music, and environmental studies in a profound way, "The Experience of Meaning" will interest any reader who ponders the question of meaning and its relation to true human expression.

Le darwinisme a consacré l’image de l’arbre pour représenter l’évolution des espèces. Or, cette image impose une vision hiérarchique et téléologique absente du raisonnement initial de Darwin. Dans une étude scrupuleuse des esquisses du père de l’évolutionnisme, l’historien d’art Horst Bredekamp montre que Darwin a préféré à la métaphore de l’arbre l’image du corail, de(...)

Dans une étude scrupuleuse des esquisses du père de l’évolutionnisme, l’historien d’art Horst Bredekamp montre que Darwin a préféré à la métaphore de l’arbre l’image du corail, de ses branches fragiles et de son développement anarchique. Avec les coraux, Darwin a introduit dans sa théorie de l’évolution naturelle une pièce maîtresse issue de la tradition des cabinets de curiosités. Il a ainsi renoué avec une vision ancienne de l’équilibre naturel et lui a ajouté la signification politique associée au XIXe siècle à ces êtres sous-marins : le pouvoir du nombre. La métaphore, au-delà de ses enjeux esthétiques et politiques, n’est pas sans intérêt pour les discussions dont « l’arbre de la vie » fait l’objet dans la biologie évolutionniste.
