Skin marks us in the world

Eduardo Jorge de Oliveira

Invented Skins

First, before you invent a skin, you are born with a skin; second, you can make a skin when you have one.

You never know how many skins you have had by having a single skin. However, this skin has an inseparable memory of the future. Its vital movement depends on this dynamic that inserts it in a specific present. Thus, if skin makes us human, it is also a set of points that mark different ways of feeling. We feel the world through the fragility of our skin. Microorganisms exist in this skin. The most human portion also contains inhuman matter...

A for Anomie

We cannot assume that all government/terrorist interactions will take the form of a two-person zero-sum game.

A for Anomie

The idea that terrorism and other forms of political violence are directly related to strains caused by strongly held grievances has been one of the most common explanations to date and can be traced to a diverse set of theoretical concepts including relative deprivation, social disorganization, breakdown, tension, and anomie. Merton (1938) identifies anomie as a cultural condition of frustration, in which values regarding goals and how to achieve them conflict with limitations on the means of achievement.

Gary LaFree and Laura Dugan, “Research on Terrorism and Countering Terrorism”, Crime and Justice, Vol. 38, No. 1, 2009.

B for Block or Blocked

If terrorism in each of its expressions can be considered an indicator of the existence of a political block (of an impossibility of reacting if one wishes to react differently), this influences its real ability to modify the situation. Terrorism has been historically more successful when it was not...

Wie keine andere Schauspielerin trägt Uma Thurman ein Gesicht als Spur seiner selbst. Das in Kill Bill so erfolgreich in seiner Unzerstörbarkeit erschaffene Gesicht findet seine letzte Emanation im aktuellen Film von Lars von Trier.

Über das Denken der Kunst

Von der Kunst als Forschung und der Forschung als Kunst ist spätestens seit den 1990er Jahren die Rede. Das Konzept sucht die Künste und Wissenschaften in ihrer Arbeitsweise einander anzunähern, doch wird dabei kaum die Frage gestellt, welche Art von Wissen die Künste im Unterschied zu den Wissenschaften hervorbringen.

Punk’s raptures are mystical.

Iggy showed the error of human existence, the breathless nearness of death, and the lure of fun and action. He was like a much better-looking version of Schopenhauer.

Christoph Schlingensief's »Freakstars 3000«

However, the discussions about Schlingensief’s film were sparked by the same, or similar, questions as in the case of Disabled Theater: have the performers been exposed? Have they been declared incompetent, or ridiculed?

When non-disabled artists such as Jérôme Bel or Christoph Schlingensief in their productions work with actors who, in hegemonic discourse, are referred to as disabled, they almost invariably face criticism over the exploitation and voyeuristic exhibition of these people. Bel’s Disabled Theater anticipated such reservations and took a good deal of wind out of its critics’ sails by having the performers themselves raise these issues on stage and report on their families’ reactions to the piece. Nevertheless, the question whether...
