Summary:
Les concepts faits pour la guerre se passent bien de l'unanimité. Il est dans l'ordre qu'ON leur reproche l'aspect infamant des réalités qu'ils font voir. Ceux qui ont réussi à s'aveugler sur le fait pourtant massif de la Jeune-Fille n'en sont pas à une cécité près. C'est la Jeune-Fille elle-même qui est le produit de la misogynie, non sa théorie.

Summary:
Les concepts faits pour la guerre se passent bien de l'unanimité. Il est dans l'ordre qu'ON leur reproche l'aspect infamant des réalités qu'ils font voir. Ceux qui ont réussi à s'aveugler sur le fait pourtant massif de la Jeune-Fille n'en sont pas à une cécité près. C'est la Jeune-Fille elle-même qui est le produit de la misogynie, non sa théorie. Ouvrez n'importe quel journal féminin, vous verrez bien. La Jeune-Fille n'est pas toujours jeune et pas toujours fille, elle n'est que la figure de l'intégration totale à une totalité sociale en désintégration. Quand le crétin proteste contre l'évidence que " le monde n'est pas une marchandise " et que d'ailleurs lui non plus, il feint une virginité qui ne justifie que son impuissance. Nous ne voulons ni de cette virginité ni de cette impuissance. Nous proposons une autre éducation sentimentale.

Mais non, je jouis !" - Hans Robert Jauss

Summary:
The Wretched of the Screen collects a number of Steyerl's landmark essays in which she has steadily developed her very own politics of the image. Twisting the politics of representation around the representation of politics, these essays uncover a rich trove of information: on the formal shifts and distortions of accelerated capitalism; the art system as a vast mine of labor extraction and passionate commitment, structural and literal violence, enchantment and fun, and of hysterical, uncontrollable flight through the wreckage of postcolonial and modernist discourses.

Patrick Ourednik's first novel to be translated into English is a unique retelling of the history of the twentieth century. Told in an informal, compelling voice, Ourednik represents the twentieth century in all its contradictions and grand illusions, demonstrating that nothing substantial has changed between 1900 and 1999 - humanity is still hopeful for the future and still mired in age-old conflicts that can't be reduced to a single viewpoint.
