In "Fail better", Foster, an art critic and historian whose influential work spans disciplines and decades, brings this peripatetic perspective to(...)

Summary:
"Serious art anticipates the future as much as it reflects the present," Hal Foster remarked in a 2015 interview. "By the same token serious art history is driven by the present as much as it is informed by the past." In "Fail better", Foster, an art critic and historian whose influential work spans disciplines and decades, brings this peripatetic perspective to contemporary art, art criticism, art history, and his own work over the past 50 years. In these 40 texts, Foster reviews artists from Richard Hamilton and Jasper Johns to Gerhard Richter and Ed Ruscha; considers contemporaries from Louise Lawler and Cindy Sherman to Jeremy Deller and Adam Pendleton; and traces the development of criticism since the early 1960s, with essays on such influential figures as Susan Sontag and Rosalind Krauss and institutions like Artforum magazine and the Whitney Museum Independent Study Program.

The devastation left in the wake of modernity and globalization is revealing a fragile and unfamiliar planet, and humanity has awakened to a new real. If the old “realist” tools of objectivism have contributed to capitalist society’s divorce from the natural world, how are artists finding new ways to make us really see—and feel—the planet?

Summary:
The devastation left in the wake of modernity and globalization is revealing a fragile and unfamiliar planet, and humanity has awakened to a new real. If the old “realist” tools of objectivism have contributed to capitalist society’s divorce from the natural world, how are artists finding new ways to make us really see—and feel—the planet? Surveying a body of planet-facing art, communal practices, and activism, Josephine Berry investigates art’s power to break with capitalist realism and decarbonize the imagination. With chapters on feeling as world-making, the rupture of petroleum landscapes, artists’ urban exodus, and migration as survival, ''Planetary Realism'' delves deeply into art’s necessary reimagining of life on Earth.

Summary:
Over the last three decades, religious practices and belongings have gained increased visibility across the globe, turning secularity and its relationship with religion into subjects of intense interdisciplinary and international debate. Previously marginalized in gender studies, the secular and the religious now attract growing interest in academic and activist feminism, prompting a critical reflection on secularity's emancipatory potential. This publication aims to foster this interest by providing a platform for interdisciplinary and transregional discussions on the complex dynamics of secularity, religiosity, and gender, as well as new approaches to explore these relationships. The contributions examine the entanglements and boundaries of religions and secularities in everyday life, art, culture, and knowledge production. By presenting relevant case studies, this book underscores an understanding of religion as both a category of knowledge and a marker of identity.

Summary:
Determined to recover the value of aesthetic experience for artistic, cultural, and social analysis, the contributors to this volume-prominent scholars in literature, philosophy, art history, architecture, history, and anthropology-begin from a shared recognition that ideological readings of the aesthetic have provided invaluable insights, in particular, that analyses of aesthetics within historical and social contexts tell us a great deal about the experience of aesthetic encounters. From multiple and complementary perspectives, the contributors address topics as varied as Nabokov and Dickens, Caravaggio and Shelley Winters, gender and sexuality, advertising and AIDS. Taken together, their essays constitute a sustained and multifarious effort to resituate aesthetic pleasure in the mixed, impure conditions characteristic of every social practice and experience, however privileged or marginalized, and to ask what happens to the aesthetic if we consider it apart from-or at least in tension with-its historically dominant discursive formulations. Contributors : Leo Bersani, Susan Bordo, Bill Brown, Beatriz Colomina, Ulysse Dutoit, Lee Edelman, Maureen Harkin, Howard Horwitz, Audrey Jaffe, Martin Jay, Kay Bea Jones, Robert Kaufman, Alphonso Lingis, Joseph Litvak, Douglas Mao, Barbara Stafford, Kathleen Stewart, Kathryn Bond Stockton, Judith Stoddart, Michael Taussig.

Toute image sécrète une temporalité qui lui est propre et ne livre son sens que si le regardeur la partage. A partir de ce constat, l'auteur décrit l'évolution des images et de la temporalité qui les caractérise, de l'icône médiévale à l'image numérique, lorsque leur production, après avoir requis la main des peintres, mobilise des machines de plus en plus complexes et autonomes. Edmond Couchot souligne en particulier les changements radicaux que nous vivons actuellement avec l'émergence d'une nouvelle temporalité imposée par les machines numériques (ordinateurs, réseaux mondiaux de communication, jeux électroniques ou dispositifs artistiques). Une temporalité qui affecte profondément nos comportements quotidiens et les fondements mêmes de notre culture. Toute notre manière de vivre et de concevoir le temps est à réinventer.

Occult practices, seances and magic have traditionally been met with suspicion in the world of high culture, but they are currently getting a fresh look. Turns out, they have long had a quiet influence on art--at least since the mid-1800s. The Message demonstrates this fascinating history with paranormal-influenced paintings, drawings and thought photographs, a term for the phenomenon of imprinting an image from one's mind directly onto a photographic medium--something we've all at least wished we could do... By the early eighteenth century, the occult had found a home in the arts with the advent of Surrealism--in 1933, Andre Breton discussed these inexplicable phenomena in his text, The Automatic Message. This publication borrows its name from Breton's text; and features early-twentieth-century photographs of seances from the archive of parapsychologist Albert von Schrenck-Notzing, which vividly illustrate Breton's ideas
