»Poleg analize 'objektivne' evolucije pandemije v njenih različnih fazah članek prikaže inherentno sadistično strukturo prevladujočega družbenega odziva. Prav ker je ta odziv meril na dosego nemogoče totalne normalizacije, je pripravil teren, kjer pandemije potencialno mutira v pristno krizo antropocena, endemijo pandemije.«

Andreja Vezovnik: Politika perverzije: rasizirana razlika in skupno dobro

»Ko so v Bristolu junija 2020 protirasistični protestniki prevrnili kip Edwarda Colstona, so politične elite vzdolž celotnega političnega spektra levo-desno, kljub pripoznanju, da kip trgovca s sužnji ne sme imeti svojega mesta v sodobni politiki, pozvale k odločni uveljavitvi zakona in reda. Članek skozi primer Colstonovega kipa raziskuje, kaj nam lahko Lacanova ideja perverzije razkrije glede razmerja moči med političnimi elitami in protirasističnimi protestniki.«

»Ne glede na vse te potvorbe »sadizma« in ne glede na neuporabnost 'sadomazohizma' za konkretno analizo delovanja sodobne družbene vezi, pa nek sadizem v splošnem smislu, zlasti glede na vse poprej omenjene družbene in politične spremembe (trole, hejterje), ohranja svojo moč nad družbo. Za podrobnejšo analizo tega je treba vključiti vseprisotna, a malo analizirana fenomena Schadenfreude, zlasti na strani publike, in krutosti kot fenomena, do katerega je družba hkrati distancirana in z njim fascinirana.«

René Descartes: Principi filozofije - Principi materialnih stvari

»Odkrito namreč priznavam, da ne priznavam nobene druge materije telesnih stvari kakor tiste, ki jo je na vsakovrstne načine mogoče deliti, oblikovati in gibati, ki jo geometri imenujejo količina in jo privzemajo za predmet svojih dokazovanj, da pri tej materiji ne motrim prav ničesar razen teh delitev, oblik in gibanj in da o njih ne pripuščam kot resnico ničesar, česar se iz tistih občih pojmov, o resničnosti katerih ne moremo dvomiti, ne izpelje tako razvidno, da je to treba imeti za matematični dokaz. In ker je tako mogoče razložiti vse naravne pojave, kot bo vidno v nadaljevanju, menim, da se ne sme pripustiti nobenih drugih principov fizike in se jih tudi ne sme želeti.«

Lovrenc Rogelj: Nietzsche, Wagner, kompozicijski miniaturizem

»Wagner je po Nietzschejevem mnenju moderen ravno skozi svojo dekadentnost, in to lahko obvelja celo za kompliment. Za dekadentni slog je značilno, da celota trpi na račun svojih delov, najmanjši vzgib postane pomembnejši od arhitektonske koherence; Nietzsche aforist in Wagner miniaturist, oba otroka svojega časa, oba dekadenta, le da naj bi se prvi po svojih besedah tega še pravočasno ovedel.«

»Konca kot prekinitve vzpostavljenega reda in kot njegovo vrnitev. Svet, ujet v krožnem gibanju, je prešit z mnogoterostjo konca kot gibalne sile sveta, ki ne le sledi, temveč vselej tudi predhaja ter sproža njegovo ponovitev. Za celoto bivajočega sveta je tako značilna določena vtkanost konca, ne kot zaustavitev tega procesa, pač pa kot njen pogoj, kot sprožilec svetovnega krogotoka – kot nekaj temu procesu notranjega.«

Noa Levin: Spectres of Eternal Return: Benjamin and Deleuze Read Leibniz

“The late reflections of G.W. Leibniz on eternal return have often been dismissed as insignificant as regards his wider philosophy. This may be due to the prevalent championing of his optimistic views on the continual progress of humanity, which seem to contradict the notion of eternal return. Walter Benjamin and Gilles Deleuze both put forward concepts of eternal return that form part of their respective critiques of historical progress, yet these have rarely been read in conjunction with their views on Leibniz. This article argues, first, that for Leibniz progress and return are not contradictory, and second, that Benjamin’s and Deleuze’s concepts of return were informed, in different ways, by their readings of Leibniz, and specifically by his conception of multiple worlds as the spatial equivalent of eternal return.”

Anna Longo: How the True World Finally Became Virtual Reality

“The extreme point of nihilism is reached when humans are ‘truly’ known or rationally constructed as automatons that perform correct calculations of the actions needed to achieve the given goals in a world reduced to the virtual reality of a game. The extreme point of nihilism corresponds to the reduction of the human to a pattern of information that can be known or modelled in the same way as any other system is known and modelled, i.e. as a series of operations that can be simulated by an algorithm. This stage corresponds, in fact, to the total obliteration of the difference between representation (the constructed phenomenal world) and reality since the representing subject has been finally reduced to a constructible phenomenon whose value is that of a means like any other. In particular, humans – like anything else – are reduced to exploitable resources of information and are thus an object of evaluation according to economic criteria: that is why, according to Nietzsche, a hero or a new species of men is now needed to reverse all values.”

Nika Grabar: Architecture and the Distribution of the Sensible

“Clearly, Nouvel invokes the rules and conventions of modernist architecture, but with the addition of a critical architectural gesture that creates a sense of space based on a critical reflection on the relation between the building, the natural processes on site, and the aesthetic experience of its visitors. His articulation of form first confuses visitors, but then creates an exceptional encounter with the building that challenges the linear temporality of construction by involving the temporality of natural processes in the architectural form. This creates a critical sense of space revealing an aesthetic politics that challenges the established norms and hierarchies of the dominant architectural and planning discourse. It enables a community of sense to envision a new framing of reality, to imagine a new fiction of a common world.”

« Non pas un monde du roman, mais un roman des mondes – mondes singuliers, en séparation semi-chaotique, qui ne parviennent pas à constituer un monde. Et pourtant. Dans cette dispersion, dans ce semi-chaos, l’aspiration à l’unité, à la négociation d’un transcendantal partagé persiste : elle renaît après chaque échec, relançant sans arrêt la dialectique. »

Rok Benčin: Worlds as Transcendental and Political Fictions

“To claim that the structure of such worlds is fictional is not to deny that there is a logic to their construction. Rather, it is to claim that there is a logic of fiction that supplements the mathematical logic Badiou uses to explain the construction of worlds. Badiou’s logical apparatus might explain in detail the way the transcendental operates, once a world is given, but on its own it cannot account for the very moment of setting a frame upon a selected piece of the ontological multiplicity that ‘interpellates’ it into a world. Worlds are generated by this transcendental framing, which forms the fictional dimension of worlds.”

Marina Gržinić: World(s)

“What we see all around us in this time of neoliberal global capitalism is that we are increasingly confronted with a political and social amnesia that profits from the almost complete obliteration of the past, the intensifying processes of de-historicization and de-politicization. Central to these processes is the logic of (neoliberal) repetition that produces at least two different procedures of (de)historicization. On one side, we have the logic of the neoliberal Western world that works as a pure trans-historical machine, and on the other, in the regions in the East and in the South of Europe, we detect a forced technique of embracing historicization as totalization.”

Nick Nesbitt: Capital, Logic of the World

“Despite his longstanding silence regarding Marx’s Capital, I wish here to argue that Badiou has in fact, in the three volumes of Being and Event, produced the materials for a contemporary logic of the capitalist social form. He has done so, however, in the form of an arsenal of abstract concepts that have yet to be precisely measured against Marx’s critical and formal reproduction of capitalism, the systematic exposition of which consumes the three volumes of Capital.”

Magdalena Germek: The Anatomy of the World

“We want this anatomy to show what the world is hiding under its skin, what the world’s inner constitution looks like, to reveal the internal organs of the world, to make them worldly – in short, to expose the world to the world. But it is precisely at this point where an unexpected issue arises. For an anatomy of the world to be carried out, we need a co**se of the world. And to have the world’s co**se, the world needs to die first. Just how can the world die? (…) In order to obtain the co**se and perform a dissection of the world, we need a specific theory of the world, where the world is able to live and die.”

Jan Völker: The End of Life Is Not the Worst: On Heidegger’s Notion of the World

“If human beings want to avoid the eradication of life, it is imperative to not simply stop the most dangerous technologies from unfolding their explosive threats, but to think the world. Today, we see that we cannot think the world as something we have at our disposal, something we can handle, something we can master. We see that a world which we can master is only the futile image of a will to mastery which has directed itself into an impasse.”

Ruth Ronen: The Actuality of a World. What Ceases Not to Be Written

"Without a world, possibilities, which cannot be assessed, are easily manipulated or hover atomistically with nothing to place them in relation to each other. It can be argued, in other words, that the absence of world is tantamount to equivalent possibilities lacking the option of actualization, that we have lost the sense in which a world differentiates its fake states from its factual ones. The question of what makes a world actual, and of whether the actual can indeed be articulated in the absence of a world as support, is hence a question of pressing urgency (and actuality)."

Roland Végső: On Acosmic Realism

“In order to be able to capture our contemporary Weltschmerz, the article turns to the young Walter Benjamin’s suggestion that the task of this age is to produce an “objective” (rather than subjective) Weltschmerz. However, the most effective tools to conceptualise this objective Weltschmerz come from the traditions of philosophical acosmism. It is a notable philosophical development of our times that some elements of the acosmic tradition have recently resurfaced in speculative realism. Thus, speculative realism could be described as a possible site of our contemporary Weltschmerz: its acosmic metaphysics is repeatedly tamed by a mournful longing for the world.”

“The concept of the world, the grasping of the world, must reflect the fact that the world, if there is one, is constantly in disorder, change, and flux. As a concept, it must even embody the end of the world, that is, the end and impossibility of its own object. In this sense, the end of the world is implicit in its concept.”
