FORTHCOMING PUBLICATIONS

Language, Memory, and the Body (working title)

The contributors to this publication each in different ways reconsider the relation between mind and body, apparatus and signification, interiority and exteriority, when we are making sense of the past and the present. The indivisibility between these categories especially gains pertinence when the body, memory and language are somehow dislocated or dissociated, and thus caught in an impossible division – through migration, through technological mediatisation (as in speech machines, telephone, cinema), or through a breakdown of habitually established abilities (as in amnesia or aphasia).

Edited by Anke Bangma, Deirdre Donoghue, Lina Issa and Katarina Zdjelar. With contributions by amongst others Ernst van Alphen, Mladen Dolar, Jeroen Fabius, Brigitte Felderer, Gunndis Finnbogadottir, Suely Rolnik, Imogen Stidworthy, and Jalal Toufic. The book will come out in December 2007. >br>

PREVIOUSLY PUBLISHED BOOKS

Another Publication

Magnanimous in its ubiquitous applications, the "other" floats between different points of view. Twelve writers were invited to write a preface to a possible book around the "other." Together, these prefaces trace different identifications with the term, such as collaboration, love, aesthetics, institutional critique and globalisation. In addition, 164 artists submitted a cover for this book, and each compilation of texts is framed by one single cover image. The "other" referred to in this book thus keeps shifting from one possible/impossible other to the next, encouraging a mutation from the initial concept of otherness into "anotherness."

Edited by Renee Ridgway and Katarina Zdjelar.
With texts by Mieke Bal, Rosi Braidotti, Boris Buden, Frans-Willem Korsten, Bojana Kunst, Dieter Lesage, Thomas Michelon, Steve Rushton, Hito Steyerl, Nato Thompson, Jan Verwoert, and Jelena Vesic.

Afterouge

Experience, Memory, Re-enactment

This publication follows the Experience, Memory, Re-enactment lecture series, held from February-May 2004. The contributors to Experience, Memory, Re-enactment employ reconstructions and re-enactments to explore how experience and memory are simultaneously culturally constructed and personally lived. Their works take playful and parodying forms, but often also literally or metaphorically put the individual body at risk. They thus recall in the viewer the impossibility of taking a distance and of separating analytical reflection and emotional response.

Edited by Anke Bangma, Steve Rushton and Florian Wüst.
With contributions by Clarissa Baldwin, Matthew Buckingham, Rod Dickinson, Omer Fast, Mathilde ter Heijne, Janneke Lam, Deimantas Narkevicius, Paul Nulty, Steve Rushton, Igor Sevcuk, Mildred Valkonet, Jan Verwoert, Krzysztof Wegiel, Florian Wüst and Efrat Zehavi.

Looking, Encountering, Staging

Looking, Encountering, Staging investigates the ways cultural practices (exhibitions, news reports, documentary photography, artistic and scientific discourses) stage their subjects and thus construct positions for their audiences. The contributors analyse how these positions come to be naturalized as ‘given’, or use strategies of staging, performing and re-theatricalization to rethink the role of the artist or curator as mediator and to relocate the viewer.
