Nietzsche's critique of the modern subject is often presented as a
radical break with modern philosophy and associated with the
so-called 'death of the subject' in 20th century philosophy. But
Nietzsche claimed to be a 'psychologist' who was trying to open up
the path for 'new versions and sophistications of the soul
hypothesis.' Although there is no doubt that Nietzsche gave
expression to a fundamental crisis of the modern conception of
subjectivity (both from a theoretical and from a
practical-existential perspective), it is open to debate whether he
wanted to abandon the very idea of subjectivity or only to pose the
problem of subjectivity in new terms. The volume includes 26
articles by top Nietzsche scholars. The chapters in Part I,
"Tradition and Context", deal with the relationship between
Nietzsche's views on subjectivity and modern philosophy, as well as
with the late 19th century context in which his thought emerged;
Part II, "The Crisis of the Subject", examines the impact of
Nietzsche's critique of the subject on 20th century philosophy,
from Freud to Heidegger to Dennett, but also in such authors as
Deleuze, Foucault, Derrida, or Luhmann; Part III, "Current Debates
- From Embodiment and Consciousness to Agency", shows that the way
in which Nietzsche engaged with such themes as the self, agency,
consciousness, embodiment and self-knowledge makes his thought
highly relevant for philosophy today, especially for philosophy of
mind and ethics.
This pioneering volume, for the first time, explores the
extraordinary Portuguese poet Fernando Pessoa (1888-1935) and his
relationship to philosophy. On the one hand, this book reveals
Pessoa's serious knowledge of philosophy and playful philosophical
explorations and how he has the gift of synthesizing, appropriating
and subverting complex ideas into his art; and, on the other hand,
the chapters shed new light on central aspects and problems of
philosophy through the prism of Pessoa's diverse writings. The
volume includes sixteen new essays from an international group of
scholars, analyzing Pessoa's multifaceted poetic work alongside
philosophical themes and movements, from conceptions of time,
ancient aesthetics, philosophy of language, transcendentalism,
immanence, nihilism; to Islamic philosophy, Indian philosophy,
philosophy of religion, neo-paganism, the philosophy of the self.
The breadth of his work provides a springboard for new thinking on
the aesthetic and the spiritual, the logic of value and capitalist
modernity, and ecological thought and postmodernism.

"9 Artists" is an international, multigenerational group exhibition
that considers the mutable and mutating role of the artist in
contemporary culture. Bringing together the expansive practices of
some of the most provocative and engaged artists working
today--Yael Bartana, Liam Gillick, Natascha Sadr Haghighian, Renzo
Martens, Bjarne Melgaard, Nastio Mosquito, Hito Steyerl and Danh
Vo--the show examines ways that they negotiate the complicities and
contradictions of living in an ever more complex and networked
world. Rarely considered together, they each use their own
backgrounds or identities as material, frequently in antagonistic
or subversive ways. For this catalogue, each artist has contributed
a 16-page artist's book exploring some aspect of their practice,
often in collaboration with other artists, writers, or designers
including Karl Holmqvist, Phung Vo, Galit Eilat, Vic Pereiro, An
Art Service, Federica Bueti and T.J. Demos. Some contributions are
purely visual; others entirely textual, ranging from new essays to
ghostwritten letters, cease and desist orders, and cinematic
diaries. An accompanying compendium of works provides a visual
journey through past projects and ephemera, setting up an
associative conversation between the artists' works. Additionally,
exhibition curator Bartholomew Ryan's essay weaves together their
various approaches, placing them in the context of broader
contemporary art practice and the complex world we inhabit. As each
artist has developed strong networks of collaborators, the volume
is anticipated as a means to promote and create dialogue between
the participants and their respective communities.
This dynamic new volume is the first major survey to chronicle the
emergence and migration of Pop art from an international
perspective, focusing on the period from the 1950s through the
early 1970s. Including original texts from a diverse roster of
contributors, this catalogue provides important new scholarship on
the period, examining production by artists across the globe who
were simultaneously confronting radical cultural and political
developments that would lay the foundation for the emergence of an
art form embracing figuration, media strategies and mechanical
processes with a new spirit of urgency and/or exuberance.
International Pop amplifies the scope and tenor of what we
understand to be `Pop', exposing the tremendous variety and
complexity of this pivotal period and subject matter, and revealing
how artists alternatively celebrated, cannibalized, rejected or
assimilated some of the presumed qualities of Pop advanced in the
US and Britain. Anchored by an expansive 48-page visual chronology,
the book features in-depth essays by a range of scholars examining
developments in Britain, Japan, Brazil, Argentina, Italy and
Hungary as well as Western Europe and the US. The volume includes
some 320 illustrations, including full-color plates of each work in
the exhibition, which integrates many classics of Pop art with
numerous rarely seen works. Among the artists included are Evelyne
Axel, Peter Blake, Raymond Colares, Antonio Dias, Rosalyn Drexler,
Erro, Leon Ferrari, Richard Hamilton, David Hockney, Jasper Johns,
Tanaami Keiichi, Yves Klein, Jiri Kolar, Yayoi Kusama, Nelson
Leirner, Ana Maria Maiolino, Antonio Manuel, Marisol, Marta
Minujin, Claes Oldenburg, Wanda Pimentel, Michaelangelo Pistoletto,
Sigmar Polke, Gerhard Richter, Mimmo Rotella, Ed Ruscha, Niki de
Saint Phalle, Okamoto Shinjiro, Yokoo Tadanori, Wayne Thiebaud,
Jean Tinguely, Shinohara Ushio and Andy Warhol.
