Organizing Color

Toward a Chromatics of the Social Timon Beyes “Organizing is often imagined as a functional concept that belongs in business schools.

In this beautifully written and illustrated book, Timon Beyes sprinkles aesthetics and politics over this black and white picture. The result is a breathtaking work that will change the way we understand how to 'see' organization.”—Martin Parker, University of Bristol STANFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS Series: Sensing Media: Aesthetics, Philosophy, and Cultures of Media March 2024 292pp 9781503638617 £25.99 PB

Breaking the Bronze Ceiling

Women, Memory, and Public Space Edited by Valentina Rozas-Krause & Andrew M. Shanken Breaking the Bronze Ceiling uncovers a glaring omission in our global memorial landscape—the conspicuous absence of women.

Exploring this neglected narrative, the book emerges as the foremost guide to women's memorialization across diverse cultures and ages. As global memorials come under intense examination, with metropolises vying for a more inclusive recognition of female contributions, this book stands at the forefront of contemporary discussion.

A Theory of Assembly

Artifactual

"Kyle Parry's remarkable book offers an eclectic theory of assembly, shifting the focus from political theory to aesthetic and media practices. This is a wide-ranging and original work that keeps shifting angles to produce the sense of vibrant, if problematic, new constellations of the various assemblies that pervade contemporary life. Mindful of both the progressive and reactionary forms that assemblies can take, Parry probes the intensified circulation of digital assemblies in all their ambivalence."—Judith Butler, University of California, Berkeley UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA PRESS

“Artifactual is a brilliant exploration of knowledge production through forensic science and documentary filmmaking in postwar Cyprus. Raising penetrating questions about knowledge and the making of truth and evidence in anthropology, Elizabeth Anne Davis makes significant contributions to the anthropologies of missing persons, forensics, and visual anthropology.”—Yael Navaro, author of The Make-Believe Space DUKE UNIVERSITY PRESS

“By closely studying the writings and performances of Dodie Bellamy, CAConrad, and Bob Flanagan and Sheree Rose, Tremblay is attentive to breathing’s knotty role in the space of queer life in how it ‘organizes desire amid crises ranging from the personal to the planetary.’ Similarly, by surveying the Black and Indigenous feminist respiratory rituals outlined in the works of Toni Cade Bambara and Linda Hogan, Tremblay asks us to consider ‘minoritarian models of collective life inspired by respiration,’ those that exist outside of and beyond mainstream feminist spaces of organizing.”—Ricky Varghese, Los Angeles Review of Books DUKE UNIVERSITY PRESS September 2022 17 illus. 248pp 9781478018865 £21.99 PB

Don't Look Away

Art, Nonviolence, and Preventive Publics in Contemporary Europe Brianne Cohen In Don’t Look Away Brianne Cohen considers the role of contemporary art in developing a public commitment to end structural violence in Europe. Cohen focuses on art activism of the early twenty-first century that confronts the slow violence perpetuated against precarious peoples. Exploring the work of German filmmaker Harun Farocki, Swiss artist Thomas Hirschhorn, and the art collective Henry VIII’s Wives, Cohen argues that their recursive art practices offer a more sustained counter to the violence undergirding the public sphere than do artworks premised on immediate rupture.

Queer Abstraction in Contemporary Art Lex Morgan Lancaster

Lancaster traces the formal and material innovations of contemporary queer and feminist artists, showing how they use abstraction as a queering tactic for social and political ends. Through a process Lancaster theorizes as a drag—dragging past aesthetics into the present and reworking them while pulling their work away from direct representation—these artists reimagine midcentury forms of abstraction and expose the violence of the tendency to reduce abstract form to a bodily sign or biographical symbolism.

The War In-Between

Indexing a Visual Culture of Survival Wendy Kozol Against the fabric of suffering that unfolds around more spectacular injuries and deaths, The War In-Between studies visual depictions of banal, routine, or inscrutable aspects of militarized violence. Spaces of the inbetween are both broader and much less visible than battlefields, even though struggles for survival arise out of the same conditions of structural violence. Visual artifacts including photographs, video, data visualizations, fabric art, and craft projects provide different vantage points on the quotidian impacts of militarism, whether it is the banality of everyday violence for noncombatants or the daily struggles of soldiers living with physical and emotional trauma.

Francis Bacon

Escobar presents a new vision of design theory and practice aimed at channeling design's world-making capacity toward ways of being that are deeply attuned to the Earth.

Deleuze offers implicit and explicit insights into the origins and development of his own philosophical and aesthetic ideas, ideas that represent a turning point in his intellectual trajectory. First published in French in 1981, Francis Bacon has come to be recognized as one of Deleuze’s most significant texts in aesthetics. Anticipating his work on cinema, the baroque, and literary criticism, the book can be read not only as a study of Bacon’s paintings but also as a crucial text within Deleuze’s broader philosophy of art.

"Feminist, Queer, Crip is ambitious, doggedly interdisciplinary, and accessibly written.

Writing as a Jew in Prague, they contend, Kafka made German “take flight on a line of escape” and joyfully became a stranger within it.

Senses of the Subject Judith Butler

This book brings together a group of Judith Butler’s philosophical essays written over two decades that elaborate her reflections on the roles of the passions in subject formation through an engagement with Hegel, Kierkegaard, Descartes, Spinoza, Malebranche, Merleau-Ponty, Freud, Irigaray, and Fanon. Drawing on her early work on Hegelian desire and her subsequent reflections on the psychic life of power and the possibility of self-narration, this book considers how passions such as desire, rage, love, and grief are bound up with becoming a subject within specific historical fields of power.

Summa Technologiae

Stanisław Lem Translated by Joanna Zylinska "Summa is a fantasia that follows certain lines of speculative thought as far as Lem can take them. Lem’s sober materialism may seem dehumanizing, but he brings back to the frontier a question that has plagued civilization since the beginning, and whose shifting, always insufficient answers have always signaled revolutions in culture: what is it to be human?" —Los Angeles Review of Books UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA PRESS Series: Electronic Mediations January 2014 1 440pp 9780816675777 £21.99 PB

Every epoch has its emblematic illnesses, this book argues, and our society is undergoing a silent paradigm shift that has led to the pathological exhaustion commonly referred to as "burnout." Denouncing a world in which every against-the-grain response can lead to further disempowerment, ByungChul Han draws on literature, philosophy, and the social and natural sciences to explore the stakes of sacrificing intermittent intellectual reflection for constant neural connection.

Vibrant Matter

A Political Ecology of Things Jane Bennett “Bennett’s is one of those books where, on finishing, you want to begin immediately again to experience the excitement and élan vital of eloquent, simple ideas presented in clear, concise and considered prose, wherein the presence of a generous, kind and unpretentious author speaks straight into your understanding. Vibrant Matter is fresh, alert, quiet and potent, a door opening in a stuffy room to let the outside in, which lets it speak so as to embolden us to breathe differently. It will redraw the boundaries of political thought; it’s already doing so.

Wild Things

The Disorder of Desire Jack Halberstam “Where can the wild take you? With Jack Halberstam as guide, to places fabulous, cruel, soaring, undead, hilarious, dark, seductive, promising, nonprovidential. Wild Things is a brilliant phenomenology of the (more than) human condition of bewilderment. Its critique of invocations of wildness tethered to colonial, racist fantasies also marks how the figure can contribute to forms of desire bent toward the feral, the incipient, the otherwise. Wild Things is an awesome trip.”—Jane Bennett, author of, Influx and Efflux DUKE UNIVERSITY PRESS Series: Perverse Modernities: A Series Edited by Jack Halberstam and Lisa Lowe October 2020 7 illus. 240pp 9781478011088 £22.99 PB
