"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 theōria, which understands the theoretical as a seeing ..."
"The figure of the 'other' is fundamental to the concept of communication. Online or offline, communication, which is commonly defined as the act of sending or imparting information to others, is only possible in the face of others. In fact, the reason we communicate is to interact with others—to talk to another, to share our thoughts and insights with them, or to respond to their needs and requests. No matter how it is structured or con ..."
"Since its beginnings in the 1990s, artistic research has become established as a new format in the areas of educational and institutional policy, aesthetics, and art theory. It has now diffused into almost all artistic fields, from installation to experimental formats to contemporary music, literature, dance, or performance art. But from its beginnings—under labels like “art and science” or “scienceart” or “artscience” that mention both ..."
"Emmanuel Levinas’s interview with Françoise Armengaud in 1988 is one of the only statements we have from the philosopher, who became influential in various disciplines through his ethics that focuses on the fine arts specifically. Presented in English for the first time here, this interview brings us Levinas’s understanding of “obliteration” as an uncanny, disruptive, and even “unavailable” concept. Discussing the work of the French scu ..."

"Schmerzen, korperliche Erschopfung, Erosionen oder Spuren zeitlichen Verfalls und ahnliches verweisen auf Erfahrungen, die sich diskursiver Einholung nicht ohne weiteres fugen. Mit dem Formlosen, der blossen Materialitat oder dem Chaos assoziiert, widersetzen sie sich den generellen Begriffen des Textes und des Verstehens. Zudem verweigern sie sich ihrer Entschlusselung als Konstruktion im Sinne ihrer begrifflichen Bezeichnung und Unter ..."

"The ideas of “art as research” and ”research as art” have risen over the past two decades as important critical focuses for the philosophy of media, aesthetics, and art. Of particular interest is how the methodologies of art and science might be merged to create a better conceptual understanding of art-based research. In Epistemologies of Aesthetics, Dieter Mersch deconstructs and displaces the terminology that typically accom ..."

"Ein interdisziplinäres HandbuchGebundenes BuchAllgegenwärtig ist die Rede von der Bilderflut: Bilder drängen sich in allen Bereichen der Gesellschaft in den Vordergrund.

"Materialität, Präsenz, EreignisBroschiertes BuchGegen den Universalitätsanspruch von Text, Schrift und Diskurs macht Mersch ein Unlesbares am Symbolischen aus. Diese Unlesbarkeit betrifft einerseits die Materialität der Zeichen selbst, die Notwendigkeit ihrer sinnlichen Verkörperung; andererseits ihr performatives Moment, das "Ereignis" ihrer Setzung.Diese genuine Doppelstruktur, die die Lesbarkeit der Zeichen chronisch vereitelt, wird ..."

"Despite its capacity to produce knowledge that can directly influence policy and affect social change, academia is still often viewed as a stereotypical ivory tower, detached from the tumult of daily life. Knowledge, Normativity, and Power in Academia argues that, in our current moment of historic global unrest, the fruits of the academy need to be examined more closely than ever. This collection pinpoints the connections among research ..."
