In Christo-Fiction Laruelle targets the rigid, self-sustaining arguments of metaphysics, rooted in Judaic and Greek thought, and the radical potential of Christ, whose "crossing" disrupts their circular discourse. Laruelle's C ..."

"Cold War cinema embedded, expressed, and performed the dread of an epoch: the confrontation with perplexing yet rampant forces of nihilism and extinction. Inside these frames, images, narratives and objects mirror the faces of incomprehensible and ubiquitous enemy forces, and culture plays the role of an idealized space of kitsch titillation, folkloric explanation/explication, spectacle, and collective psychosis. Today these forces have ..."

"We have long accepted the face as the most natural and self-evident thing, believing that in it we could read, as if on a screen, our emotions and our doubts, our anger and joy.

Nothing could be further from the truth. Rather than a window opening onto our inner nature, the fac ..."
