  • Making the Heavens Speak
    Making the Heavens Speak
    Sloterdijk, Peter
    The idea of a connection between poetry and religion is as old as civilization. Homer consulted the Olympian gods on the fate of the fighters on the plain before Troy, and the poet made the heavenly ones speak. It was through poetry that the gods were brought within reach of human hearing. In the centuries after Homer, the Athenian stage became the setting where gods made their...

  • Liquid love
    Liquid love
    Bauman, Zygmunt
    This book is about the central figure of our contemporary, a liquid moderna times -- the man or woman with no bonds, and particularly with none of the fixed or durable bonds that would allow the effort of self--definition and self--assertion to come to a rest.

  • Living as a Bird
    Living as a Bird
    Despret, Vinciane
    In the first days of spring, birds undergo a spectacular metamorphosis.

    Anxiety
    Lacan, Jaques

  • Foreverism
    Foreverism
    Tanner, Grafton
    What do cinematic “universes,” cloud archiving, and voice cloning have in common? They’re in the business of foreverizing – the process of revitalizing things that have degraded, failed, or disappeared so that they can remain active in the present. To foreverize something is to reanimate it, to enclose and protect it from time and the elements, and to eradicate the feeling of n...

  • Disappearance of Rituals, The
    Disappearance of Rituals, The
    Han, Byung-Chul
    Untrammelled neoliberalism and the inexorable force of production have produced a 21st century crisis of community: a narcissistic cult of authenticity and mass turning-inward are among the pathologies engendered by it. We are individuals afloat in an atomised society, where the loss of the symbolic structures inherent in ritual behaviour has led to overdependence on the contin...

  • Down to Earth
    Down to Earth
    Latour, Bruno
    The present ecological mutation has organized the whole political landscape for the last thirty years. This could explain the deadly cocktail of exploding inequalities, massive deregulation, and conversion of the dream of globalization into a nightmare for most people. What holds these three phenomena together is the conviction, shared by some powerful people, that the ecologic...
