The first-ever English translation of this dramatic work by Nikolai
Evreinov. In the 1910s the Russian theater director and theorist
Nikolai Evreinov (1879-1953) insisted on the theatricalization of
life. Twenty years later, Evreinov, who had left Russia in 1924,
was in exile in Paris when Stalin staged three elaborate political
show trials in Moscow. Evreinov then meticulously read the
transcripts of the trials in the Russian-language press, collected
material on Nikolai Bukharin and the other defendants, consulted
with experts, and finally wrote a play, his response to the staging
of a judicial farce. With this response, he also wanted to
rehabilitate his idea of the theatricalization of life. After all,
the theatricalization of life does not mean performing false
confessions, constructing conspiracies, fabricating facts, or
casting hired witnesses. In his theatrical theory, Evreinov was
careful not to make the theater of life invisible. His play is
therefore not a historical reconstruction, but an imaginary look
behind the scenes, in which the Stalinist perpetrators confess to
the real crime in the end: the theater. Expertly translated into
English for the first time by Zachary King, The Steps of Nemesis
brings a fascinating play to a whole new world.
Theodor Adorno's famous aesthetic theory was not merely a theory of
the aesthetic; it also made a wider claim about the aesthetic
implications of all theory. At the same time we have to deal with
aesthetic objects and events in which an aesthetic theory is
inherent, which show themselves as art. From both sides--theory and
aesthetics--a link can be made to the etymological meaning of
theoria, which understands the theoretical as a seeing or
perspective. Featuring lucid essays by major thinkers, the book
examines this link, focusing equally on the aesthetic implications
of theory and the theoretical implications of aesthetic events.

la linguistique de corpus, de l'elaboration de corpus de textes
annotes qui contiennent un volume important de donnees,
l'application des methodes quantitatives d'analyse devient une
partie inherente de toute etude linguistique. Le livre contient les
resultats de l'etude contrastive (russe-francais) des connecteurs
avec l'utilisation des methodes quantitatives qui a ete menee dans
le cadre du projet de recherche conjoint (Suisse-Russie) soutenu
par le FNS et par la Fondation pour la recherche fondamentale de la
Federation de Russie (RFBR). Les donnees statistiques pour l'etude
contrastive des connecteurs ont ete obtenus grace a une nouvelle
ressource informatique: une base de donnees des connecteurs qui
contient des textes paralleles en russe et en francais. Le premier
chapitre decrit la base de donnees, ses fonctionnalites et les
possibilites qu'elle offre aux linguistes pour l'analyse
contrastive, qualitative et quantitative, des connecteurs. Le
deuxieme et le troisieme chapitres presentent les resultats de
l'application de ce type d'analyse des connecteurs russes et
francais en tant que marqueurs des relations discursives de
concomitance et de reformulation. Dans le quatrieme chapitre ces
methodes sont appliquees a l'analyse des resultats de traduction
automatique, un domaine de recherche qui se trouve actuellement au
centre des interets de la linguistique de corpus et de la
linguistique computationnelle.
In 1920, on the third anniversary of the October Revolution,
dramatist Nikolai Evreinov directed a cast of 10,000 actors,
dancers, and circus performers as well as a convoy of armored cars
and tanks in The Storming of the Winter Palace. The mass spectacle,
presented in and around the real Winter Palace in Petrograd, was
intended to recall the storming as the beginning of the October
Revolution. But it was a deceptive reenactment because, in
producing the events it sought to reenact, it created a new kind of
theater, agit-drama, promulgating political propaganda and
deliberately breaking down the distinction between performers and
spectators.Nikolaj Evreinov: "The Storming of the Winter Palace"
tells the fascinating story of this production. Taking readers
through the relevant history, the authors describe the role of The
Storming of the Winter Palace in commemorating Soviet power. With a
wealth of illustrations, they also show how photographs of
Evreinov's theatrical storming eventually became historical
documents of the October Revolution themselves.
Every month, the art association HMKV presents the latest videos by
international artists in its series "HMKV Video of the Month" which
has been ongoing since March 2014. The idea for the series came
from the desire to show the newest artistic productions in rapid
succession, changing works at a faster pace than in the exhibitions
of the HMKV. For the first time, this publication unites all 78
works that have been exhibited since 2014. The videos address a
variety of different topics and stories, ranging from labour
conditions, structural changes, speculative technologies, or
posthuman machines to technology (and its history) as well as
artificial intelligence. A wide array of works is devoted to the
old 'new' right-wingers and the alt-right. The book not only shows
stills of all videos, but each work is also accompanied by an
introductory text to provide a comprehensive overview. Text in
English and German.
