Art After the Avant-Garde: Baudrillard's Challenge


http://intertheory.org/coulter-baudrillard-avant-garde.htm


by Gerry  Coulter 



Product Description
After we have read Jean Baudrillard it is difficult to see the world as we 
previously did. Baudrillard offered a strong challenge to art and artists, as 
he did everyone else. Many believe that Baudrillard was against art when he was 
really against the majority of things which some person or group has attempted 
to pass off as art. Baudrillard’s significance for art however, is that he 
wipes the decks clear and allows us to think anew about the art we love, and 
the art we do not. One of the implications of this book - a book about seeing 
art after taking Baudrillard seriously - is that we learn art never had a 
better friend, than Jean Baudrillard.

About the Author

Baudrillard Studies, and the author of Jean Baudrillard: From the Ocean to the 
Desert, or the Poetics of Radicality. He has received Bishop’s University’s

Jean  Baudrillard: From the Ocean to the Desert -
The Poetics of Radicality

by Gerry  Coulter 


http://intertheory.org/gerrycoulter.htm

It is in the deserts of postmodernity where Baudrillard both found and left  
us. It is in these deserts that we become aware, as did Baudrillard and  other 
poststructuralist thinkers, that theory precedes the world (there  is nothing 
that can be said of the world that is not already framed by our  approach to 
it). It is within Coulter's absolutely lucid exploration - and  it goes without 
saying that the work of Jean Baudrillard should be recognized  in such an 
appropriate revelation - that Baudrillard's thought is unveiled.

The Chance event made the front page of today's (11/11/96)
LA Times with a color photo of Baudrillard who ... reads a
difficult, fatalistic text about humankind's loss of
destiny... Responsibility is not dead, it has become
violent Unlike truth, credibility cannot be refuted...
No event can put an end to what happens...  JB champions LA
as a cultural desert that yields valuable social data at the
end of reality.  Baudrillard's mumbled monotone was indeed
difficult; at times indecipherable.

The New American Left

The working class embodies a huge swath of people. Poor people, rich 
people, people between. That's because the working class is not a 
number: $0-25K per year, $250K per year, $25 million per year, etc...no,
 instead, the 'working class'-- is a sensibility. It's a conscience, and
 a human one at that

an academic press of cultural theory, fiction and criticism

Andy Warhol: Sublime Superficiality

by Michael Angelo Tata

http://intertheory.org/warhol.htm


Reviews
In his incisive work, Michael Angelo Tata does something like real, complex 
justice to the implications of Warhol's life and thought. I think you'll find 
that a really remarkable voice emerges from Tata's writing. If Judge Judy read 
Hegel! ~ Eve Sedgwick

Tata renders Warhol philosophically anew - no small feat among the seriality 
of Warholia ~ Nicholas Ruiz III


ISBN-13: 978-0-9789902-3-7
art theory/philosophy

Price: $22
(free U.S. shipping; international orders add $5)

Release Date: October 2010


Product Description
My idea is that the Romantic notion of the sublime reaches its apex and 
terminus in Warhol, whose greatest contribution to the tradition of aesthetics 
has been not so much his ending of art but instead his invention of the 
postmodern or “POMO” sublime as the outpost and outer limit of sublimity.


About the Author
Michael Angelo Tata's essays appear in the recent collections Literature of New 
York and Passage to Manhattan: Critical Essays on Meena Alexander, and his work 
on Daniel Paul Schreber is included in the anthology Neurology and Modernity.

2009-03-30 Diskussionsfäden Nicholas Ruiz III


April 2009 on –empyre-

“Creativity and Postmodern Finance, or the Artifice of the
21st Century Global Financial Implosion”

Plan on escaping the travails of finance and capital? Sure you do. We are all 
creative in our orientation toward the artifice of capital. The decision to 
survive requires employment of the arts of finance and capitalization, 
regardless of one's subjectivity or preoccupation.
'Creativity,' from the Latin, 'crescere,' means 'I come to be,'
'I increase,' 'I grow and expand,' etc. To be sure, some are endowed in one way 
or another with more or less of something, creativity notwithstanding. And for 
certain, some are more creative than others. Out of all this, what ‘comes to 
be’ as humanity employs the arts of capital in the 21st century? What does our 
creation obtain?
As of late, the human world is preoccupied with artisans of
capital and finance, and with good reason. Humanity is fearful that its future, 
we might say, is being foreclosed upon by the uncontrollable forces of their 
trade. Many cultural theorists feel that capital is an artifice. Capital is but 
our creation, they say. So perhaps we need only recreate capital, and its 
terms, to adjust for its errors, to render an ever better society. Others say 
capital
is the problem in itself. What have we caused to be, to be increased, or 
expanded upon, that has led us to this spirited place? 
How does our art, our artifice, from the Latin ‘armus’…art being that which 
comes from our arm or shoulder…contribute to the problems or solutions of the 
global meltdown? Who are the artisans? And who is the audience that goads them 
onward?

Our guests:

Michael Angelo Tata is the author of Andy Warhol: Sublime Superficiality 
(forthcoming in 2009).

Laurence Rickels is professor of German and comparative literature at the 
University of California, Santa Barbara. His books
include The Devil Notebooks (2008), Nazi Psychoanalysis (2002) and The Vampire 
Lectures (1999).

Joseph Tabbi is professor of contemporary literature and technology at the 
University of Illinois at Chicago. He
is the author of Cognitive Fictions (2002) and Postmodern Sublime: Technology 
and American Writing from Mailer to Cyberpunk (1995). He also edits the 
Electronic Book Review.

Jeff Pierce is an independent equity trader based in Canada. He is also the 
editor of Zentrader.ca

Davin Heckman is Assistant Professor of English at Siena Heights University in 
Adrian, Michigan.  He is the author of A Small World: Smart Houses and the 
Dream of the Perfect Day (2008).

Nicholas Ruiz III is a moderator of –empyre-. He is the
author of America in Absentia (2008) and The Metaphysics of Capital (2006). He 
is also the editor of Kritikos.

intertheory press...book release...2008

America in Absentia
Nicholas Ruiz III

http://intertheory.org/absentia

ISBN: 0978990218
cultural theory/philosophy/current affairs


Release Date: October, 2008

Product Description
The unifying principle of the world is Capital.
Ethical conceptions are helpful here. Where a 'fact'
is verifiable, a 'value' is relative. In a special
case, Capital is an ethical fact by virtue of its
valuation, always in flux and exchange. Like moral
value, Capital is in the eye of the beholder. Still,
this does not mean that there is a grand unifying
theory of the real, because the world seeks
fragmentation at all times. Life trumps the world by
its persistence in the face of inevitable death.
Extermination, in the total sense, is the highest
stake on the table between the world and life. America
is the highest bidder in this speculative game. Let us
hope she is bluffing.

About the Author
Nicholas Ruiz III is Associate Professor of Humanities
in the Daytona State College, USA. He is the author of
The Metaphysics of Capital and Integral Reality (with
Robert Hassan). He is also the editor of Kritikos.

[spectre] book release: The Metaphysics of Capital

2006-10-20 Diskussionsfäden Nicholas Ruiz III
The Metaphysics of Capital
Nicholas Ruiz III

ISBN: 097899020X

Release date: intertheory press, November 1, 2006

available at amazon 

Product Description
A history of Capital, like a history of religion, reflects little more than
the current fashion in historical time. A metaphysics of Capital, derived
from the preponderance of a capitalizing bare life, supports the idea that
Capital has no birth, but is eternally complicit with life, the only
variance being, the way in which we define Capital. Capital, that is, the
coining of the term--is not synonymous with its inception, or more
saliently, there is no immaculate conception of Capital. Like the genetic
Code, our identification of it did not make it so; make it exist, as it
were. Evidently, unlike God, the Code preceded our conception of it.
Ironically, like God, the Code must capitalize upon an environment in order
to survive. In other words, Capital is a currency of the Code 

About the Author
Nicholas Ruiz III was born in New York City. He teaches bioethics, ethics
and critical thought in the department of Humanities at Kaplan University.
He is also the editor of Kritikos, http://intertheory.org
