Антон Сюткин - Конец спекулятивного реализма

«Человек — это сама по себе катастрофическая реальность». Спекулятивный реализм был одним из главных философских течений в современной философии. Бруно Латур, Рэй Брасье, Грэм Харман и другие представители этого направления открыли для многих молодых философов новый мир мыслящих лесов, солярной катастрофы и акторно-сетевых отношений. Но в этом мире не нашлось места человеку.

Философ Антон Сюткин считает, что мы наблюдаем закат спекулятивного реализма. Но что будет после него?

Arleen Ionescu - The Crisis at the Heart of Modernity

Terry Eagleton’s recent book employs his trademark witty style in an attempt to say something new about the era that birthed modernism.

To find an appropriate answer to the frustrating question of the time span of modernism (was it 1910 to 1930? 1890 to 1930? 1890 to 1940?), Eagleton proposes a “standard Marxist” one could almost say dogmatically Marxist solution favored by Georg Lukács. In this reading, the first stirrings of modernism followed the European insurrections of 1848. This does not mean that modernist aesthetics were not present before that. Indeed, Eagleton traces features of modernism back to the 1830s, when Théophile Gautier’s work first appeared, and ventures even further back in time to show that the “modernist zest for innovation” originates among the Romantic poets.

Маркс был прав, но и Бог — тоже

Фрагмент книги Карлоса Гранеса «Латиноамериканское безумие»

На протяжении 1960–1970-х годов Латинская Америка оставалась местом, где полыхали страсти — политические, идейные и духовные. Пережив Кубинскую революцию, континент словно очнулся от сна, осознал себя жертвой перманентного угнетения со стороны американского капитализма и заявил о своем праве на освобождение — в том числе вооруженным путем. Левые священники оправдывали «насилие угнетенных», герильерос мечтали о расширении восстания на другие страны.

Frank Ruda - Badiou’s Passage – The End of Antiphilosophy

This article examines the function of the last antiphilosopher, Lacan, in Badiou’s oeuvre and argues that philosophy is systematically determined by at least two historicizing operators: one it encounters through identifying events taking place in what Badiou calls conditions (they impact philosophy’s concept of truth) and one originating in antiphilosophy (and have an impact on philosophy’s concept of the subject). It is the latter that can help resuscitate philosophy in times of a crisis of philosophy which is why its two paradigms are Marx(ism) and psychoanalysis. The present article examines Badiou’s concept of philosophy vis-à-vis the latter.

Paul Foot - The Vote: How It Was Won and How It Was Undermined

The dramatic story of the peoples' fight for the right to vote in Britain The culmination of a lifetime's work by the great journalist and historian Paul Foot, The Vote tells the thrilling story of the hard, long-fought struggle for the right to vote in Britain, and the slow erosion that followed. In the tradition of "history from below," Paul Foot examines the great democratic debates that dominated the fight for electoral democracy. Taking readers from the smoke-filled church of the Putney debates, to the dramatic arguments between Thomas Paine and Edmund Burke in the aftermath of the French Revolution, to the rise of Chartism and the struggles for votes for women. Throughout, Foot shows how vested interested first delayed and then hobbled the progress of parliamentary democracy. Concentrating on the vital role played by direct action, he shows how rank-and-file resistance to ruling-class injustice was followed by retreat into parliamentary impotence. Into the twentieth-century, Foot exposes the gaps between the promises of a succession of Labour governments and their actions once in power, and its abandonment of any aspiration to economic democracy. A gripping work of narrative history, written in Paul Foot's inimitable energy and engaged style, this book is a classic work of history, and a must-read for anyone interested in how today's political scene was formed.

Rebecca Comay - Deadlines (literally)

I have been thinking lately about the strange temporality of deadlines. Is there more than a superficial family resemblance between the emergencies we suffer on a daily, yearly and epochal basis due dates, expiration dates, foreclosure dates, biological clocks, execution dates, revolutionary crisis points, environmental tipping points, pandemic turning points, messianic end-times? There is something off-putting and tone-deaf about the bland capaciousness of this list, and I am finding it hard to find a way to address this.
