This study is about mining the past to better understand how we imagine and shape the future. The
present report is a deliverable from Work Package 1: "Mine" in the research project IMAGINE: Contested
Futures of Sustainability. WP1 aimed to construct a conceptual framework based on Paul Ricœur’s
study of the concept of imagination and to gather dat...
Ficando com o Problema (Staying with the Trouble) foi traduzida a partir da versão impressa da entrevista conduzida ao vivo pelo Skype com Donna Haraway por Rick Dolphijn, realizada na ocasião do lançamento oficial da exposição de arte Yes Naturally (Haia, Holanda) durante os dias de pré-visualização profissional da documenta 13 (Kassel, Alemanha),...
In contrast to the dominant ideas of how 'game and play' work, which I label 'transcendentalist' and 'sedentary', my study on Macao proposes an alternative, 'materialist' and 'nomadic', perspective. This comes down to thinking 'game and play' not as an 'artificial' activity that takes place in a safe, enclosed environment, but as an elementary part...
In his prophetic essay ‘Societies of Control Gilles’ Deleuze introduces us to the new system of domination that he sees emerging in post-war Europe. Breaking down the sites of confinement that dominated nineteenth-century modernism, installing free flows of control “forming a system of varying geometry whose language is digital”, the role of techno...
This report is part of the HERANET funded project FOOD2GATHER. The project aims at understanding the question of integration/exclusion of migrants through foodscapes. An important step in this direction is to analyse the contextual framework within which food-related practices, norms and values are embedded in European societies. Food controversies...
The crises of the contemporary are severe, especially if we are unable to recognise how and when we went wrong. Amitav Ghosh teaches us about recognition, about the dangers of modernity, and the way our blindness has been institutionalised in the petrocapitalist narratives that dominate scientific analysis and many forms of knowledge important to o...
This issue of APRIA, Time Matters , was compiled and edited by the ArtEZ Theory in the Arts professorship. All of these reviewed artistic (research) and academic contributions were created and written specially in response to the four-part seminar Time Matters (2019-2020). The aim of the publication and the seminar is to inquire into the changing c...
Die zunehmende Technologisierung der Gegenwart betrifft in vielschichtiger Art und Weise auch das Theater: von Körpertechniken des Schauspielens, Tanzens und Singens zu Formen digitaler Medienperformance und Game Theatre. Die Beiträger*innen des Bandes widmen sich jenen Technologien des Performativen im Kontext ihrer je eigenen medientechnischen Um...
As our ideas of the human have come under increasing challenges – from technological change, from medical advances, from the existential threat of climate crisis amongst many other things – the ’posthuman‘ has become an increasingly central topic in the Humanities. Bringing together leading scholars from across the world and a wide range of discipl...
Materialist feminism, since its start in the late 1980’s (see for instance Haraway D Situated Knowledges: The Science Question in Feminism and the Privilege of Partial Perspective. Feminist Studies 14(3): 575–99, 1988), has been occupied with the questions of science and technology. The concepts accepted, the methodologies applied, the representati...
Michel Serres captures the urgencies of our time; from the digital revolution to the ecological crisis to the future of the university, the crises that code the world today are addressed in an accessible, affirmative and remarkably original analysis in his thought.
This volume is the first to engage with the philosophy of Michel Serres, not by writ...

In this paper, I want to think about art and philosophy in relation to time. I want to think about what art and philosophy have in common in that respect, which I consider to be something of the greatest importance (their common purpose). I do this by reading three books in which this aesthetics and this philosophy of time ‘happens’, namely Michel...
The enduring effects of the March 2011 tsunami and nuclear meltdown at the
Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Station in Japan are explored in this paper
through the notions of “geo-trauma” in the authors’ work and geophilosophy
in Deleuze and Guattari’s philosophy. At the fulcrum of the 2011 global
disaster was the nuclear meltdown and the emittance...
Rereading Derrida, both Donna Haraway and Karen Barad are in search for an ethics that is not based on critique but that offers an affirmative alternative to the dualist construction of naturalism today. Whereas Haraway practices this ethics mainly by reading contemporary biology into the humanities, Barad proposes us to take a closer look at natur...
This chapter sees Deleuze's concept of 'occupation' as the greatest power of art. In occupying that which is loved so dearly, great literature, great music, is able to reveal another world. A world that is completely new yet always already there. The power of art is thus about addressing human deafness and human blindness. This is particularly need...
Based on Deleuze's idea that philosophy is an activity that appeals to anyone who is attuned to the desire for the ethical life, the contributions in this book question how to live the ethical life today in academia, in art but above all in our multiple ecologies of belonging. © 2014 by Koninklijke Brill nv, Leiden, The Netherlands.

In their Geophilosophy (in What Is Philosophy?), Deleuze and Guattari offer us an important connection between the movements of thought and the connections to the soil in which thought grows. They state that ‘thinking takes place in the relationship of territory and the earth’ (1992, p. 85). Thought happens in a double movement: ‘territory and eart...
This article discusses the way in which a group of contemporary cultural theorists in whose work we see a “new materialism” (a term coined by Braidotti and DeLanda) at work constitutes a philosophy of difference by traversing the dualisms that form the backbone of modernist thought. Continuing the ideas of Lyotard and Deleuze they have set themselv...
Starting with Antonin Artaud's radio play To Have Done With The Judgement Of God, this article analyses the ways in which Artaud's idea of the body without organs links up with various of his writings on the body and bodily theatre and with Deleuze and Guattari's later development of his ideas. Using Klossowski (or Klossowski's Nietzsche) to explai...
This article centres around three ways in which ‘new materialism’ or ‘neomaterialism’—terms coined by DeLanda and Braidotti in the second half of the 1990s—can be called ‘transversal’. New materialism is a cultural theory that does not privilege culture, but focuses on what Haraway would call ‘naturecultures’. It explores a monist perspective of th...
Background: The riots in Paris '68 marked among others, the creation of a Centre universitaire experimental in Vincennes of which especially the philosophy faculty became the testing laboratory for educational reform. There, scholars like Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze, Alain Badiou and Jean-François Lyotard developed new ideas on education that w...
