Summary:
Since the so-called dematerialization of currencies and art practices in the late 1960s and early 1970, we have witnessed a move into what Joshua Simon calls an economy of neomaterialism. With this, several shifts have occurred: the focus of labor has moved from production to consumption, the commodity has become the historical subject, and symbols now behave like(...)

Summary:
Since the so-called dematerialization of currencies and art practices in the late 1960s and early 1970, we have witnessed a move into what Joshua Simon calls an economy of neomaterialism. With this, several shifts have occurred: the focus of labor has moved from production to consumption, the commodity has become the historical subject, and symbols now behave like materials. Neomaterialism explores the meaning of the world of commodities, and reintroduces various notions of dialectical materialism into the conversation on the subjectivity and vitalism of things. Here, Simon advocates for the unreadymade, sentimental value, and the promise of the dividual as a means for a vocabulary in this new economy of meaning. Reflecting on general intellect as labor and the subjugation of an overqualified generation to the neofeudal order of debt finance—with a particular focus on dispossession and rent economy, post-appropriation display strategies and negation, the barricade and capital’s technocratic fascisms—Neomaterialism merges traditions of epic communism with the communism that is already here.

For him, globalization begins with the ancient Greeks, who represented the whole world through the shape of the orb. With the discovery of America and the first circumnavigations of the earth, the orb was replaced by the globe. This second globalization is currently giving way to the third, which we are living through today, as the general virtuality of all conditions leads to a growing spatial crisis.

Dans un souci de pertinence et d’homogénéité, Michel Granger a opéré une sélection qui s’efforce de privilégier les bonnes pages du penseur arrivé à la maturité, celui pour qui le Journal est devenu une œuvre primordiale à partir de 1851.

For centuries, a central goal of art has been to make us see the world with new eyes. Thinkers from Edmund Burke to Elaine Scarry have understood this effort as the attempt to create new forms.

But as anyone who has ever worn out a song by repeated listening knows, artistic form is hardly immune to sensation-killing habit. Some of our most ambitious writers—Keats, Proust, Nabokov, Ashbery—have been obsessed by this problem. Attempting to create an image that never gets old, they experiment with virtual, ideal forms. Reading central works of the past two centuries in light of their shared ambition, Clune produces a revisionary understanding of some of our most important literature.

Summary:
Rational self-interest is often seen as being at the heart of liberal economic theory. In The Power at the End of the Economy Brian Massumi provides an alternative explanation, arguing that neoliberalism is grounded in complex interactions between the rational and the emotional. Offering a new theory of political economy that refuses the liberal prioritization of individual choice, Massumi emphasizes the means through which an individual’s affective tendencies resonate with those of others on infra-individual and transindividual levels. This nonconscious dimension of social and political events plays out in ways that defy the traditional equation between affect and the irrational. Massumi uses the Arab Spring and the Occupy Movement as examples to show how transformative action that exceeds self-interest takes place. Drawing from David Hume, Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze, Niklas Luhmann and the field of nonconsciousness studies, Massumi urges a rethinking of the relationship between rational choice and affect, arguing for a reassessment of the role of sympathy in political and economic affairs.

“Il est permis de douter que même les plus furieux de ceux qui se sont jamais déchirés et mutilés au milieu des cris et des coups de tambour aient abusé de cette merveilleuse liberté autant que l’a fait Vincent Van Gogh : allant porter l’oreille qu’il venait de trancher précisément dans le lieu qui répugne le plus à la bonne société. Il est admirable qu’il ait ainsi à la fois témoigné d’un amour qui ne tenait compte de rien et en quelque sorte craché à la figure de tous ceux qui gardent de la vie qu’ils ont reçue l’idée élevée, officielle, que l’on connaît.” À l’origine de ce bref essai rédigé en 1930, un fait divers : au Père-Lachaise, un certain Gaston F., après avoir fixé le soleil, “reçut de ses rayons l’ordre impératif de se trancher un doigt”. Ce qu’il fit, avec les dents. À partir de ce cas, Bataille étudie le geste de Van Gogh se tranchant l’oreille, qu’il éclaire par l’analyse de son œuvre et par la comparaison avec les rituels sacrificiels d’automutilation dans les sociétés primitives. Ce faisant, il élabore une réflexion sur le sens du sacrifice dans nos sociétés modernes, considéré comme l’action qui peut rompre l’homogénéité habituelle de la personne, imposée par la société. Au-delà de la réflexion sur l’œuvre et la vie de Van Gogh, qui préfigure le texte d’Antonin Artaud, Van Gogh, le suicidé de la société, on retrouve dans cet essai certains des thèmes fondamentaux de l’œuvre de Bataille.
