This text focuses on the relevance of the proper name in the conceptions of language and history that inform the thought of Adorno, Benjamin, Heidegger and Rosenzweig. Their interest in the proper name is because it does not simply operate as a conventional linguistic sign. A specific experience of the Jewish religious tradition (Adorno, Benjamin, Rosenzweig) and a vision of poetry resulting from the reading of Hoelderlin (Heidegger) lead to the idea of an absolute singularity, it is a singularity that resists all conceptual identificaiton and the proper name expresses this singularity in language. In this analysis, history is conceived as a movement that both betrays and tends towards the absolute singularity that manifests itself in the unsayable, i.e. in the name of God, or in poetical language. questions of gesture, translation and melancholia and the moment of apparition in the work of art are comprehensible within Dr Duttmann's discussion, which should be of interest to students of language, philosophy and theology.

A reconstruction of aspects of the philosophy of Adorno and Heidegger. This title reconstructs the philosophy of Adorno and Heidegger in the light of the importance that these thinkers attach to two proper names: Auschwitz and Germanien. In Adorno's dialectical thinking, Auschwitz is the name of an incommensurable historical event that seems to put a provisional end to history as a negative totality. In Heidegger's thinking of Being, Germanien is a name inscribed in an historical mission on which the fate of Western civilization seems to depend: it thus becomes the name of a positive totality of history.

What does it mean to oppose AIDS, to be at odds with AIDS? What kind of rupture with history does AIDS represent? How does AIDS and what is said about AIDS relate to gay identity? How does AIDS relate to thinking and acting, particularly deconstructive thinking? The author confronts these questions from a broad philosophical background that ranges from Kant, Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, and Heidegger to contemporary thought concerning gay activism and AIDS research, all brought together in an effort to find a philosophical language capable of doing justice to the singularity of lived experience in the shadow of AIDS.In examining what AIDS reveals about the conditions of existence, García Düttmann develops the idea of the "dis-unity" or "at-odds-ness" of existence, of the "non-belonging" that characterizes the marginalized, outcast, or abandoned, and exposes human existence itself. He analyzes what AIDS reveals about the character of history through two intertwined issues. First, he examines arguments bearing on the epochal significance of AIDS, the idea that AIDS reveals something uniquely characteristic of our time, hence that the epidemic marks a historical caesura. Second, he develops a theory of historical witnessing suggesting that the phenomena of historical event and bearing witness are not at all separate, but instead are co-originary, inhering in the same complex.

Something needs to be changed—be it through the revolutionary overthrow of social conditions, the liberating force of passion, the contemplation and creation of works of art, or the exploration of an unresolved past. Luchino Visconti's films are models for the failure of such attempts. They show that this failure arises whenever people cling to possibilities that stand opposed to the reality of their lives. Does Adorno not write: "The place of utopia is blocked off by possibility, never by immediate reality"? Visconti: Insights into Flesh and Blood draws on aesthetics, film theory, and practical philosophy to propose an original interpretation of the melodramas of a great European director. In the encounter with Visconti's art, we come to see that something has changed already.

A series of philosophical meditations on the nature of aesthetics across a wide array of filmmaking stylesImages, whether filmic or not, cannot be replaced by words. Yet words can make images. This is the general thesis underlying So What, a collection of essays on canonical filmmakers like Luchino Visconti and Orson Welles; more experimental directors, such as Marguerite Duras and Albert Serra; and visual artists, including Hollis Frampton and Agnes Martin. Alexander GarcÍa DÜttmann aims to make these films as if they did not precede his text, capturing their idea and experience.If the relationship between filmic image and text is a heterogeneous one, then this heterogeneity must leave a trace. This is why the book’s chapters are organized not according to historical periods or on the basis of film theories but rather by single concepts that function like dictionary entries. The chapters adopt different forms, blurring the lines between art and philosophy. So What is a practical exercise in “making films with words,” inviting readers to draw out insights from its conceptual play.So What compiles previously untranslated and hard-to-find essays into a single volume, one that represents the absorbing and singular thought process of a major contemporary philosopher.

Whenever an individual asks to be recognized, he asks for confirmation of what he believes himself to be. But he also asks for an establishing act which brings about what he is not yet and what he will be only once he has been recognized. Recognition is thus marked by a tension between two incompatible demands, a tension which triggers a struggle for recognition.Between Cultures is a philosophical attempt to discuss issues related to multiculturalism in the light of this struggle for recognition. Moving effortlessly between philosophy, psychoanalysis, sociology, political theory and literature, it refers to the work of Adorno, Derrida, Freud, Hegel, Heidegger, Rawls, Walzer and Wittgenstein to describe a historical and critical politics of recognition. It also addresses questions of national and sexual identities, with particular reference to the notion of a gay identity in the context of Aids.

An Kunst teilnehmen heißt immer, sich der Kunst als Kunst bewusst zu sein und sich zugleich von ihrem Schein einnehmen zu lassen. Alexander García Düttmanns Buch ist der erste systematische Versuch, die Teilnahme an Kunst zu erklären - und dadurch ein neues Licht auf die Teilnahme an Politik zu werfen.Kaum ein Begriff hat Kunst und Ästhetik in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten so bestimmt wie der der Teilnahme, vor allem, wenn ein politischer Anspruch angemeldet wurde. Was kann mit der Teilnahme an Kunst gemeint sein? Die Antwort, die Düttmann auf diese Frage gibt, lautet: Teilnahme an Kunst ist ein Bewusstsein des Scheins. Doch wie kann der Schein zu Bewusstsein kommen, ohne dabei aufzuhören, als Schein zu wirken?Der Autor zeigt, dass dieses Problem die Geschichte der Ästhetik beherrscht hat, ob es sich um die Tradition handelt, die von Kant bis Adorno reicht, oder in jüngerer Zeit um die Ansätze der analytischen Ästhetik. Das Verhältnis zwischen Schein und Bewusstsein bleibt dabei ein spannungsgeladenes, so sehr sich die Philosophen auch darum bemüht haben, diese Spannung aufzulösen, Bewusstsein und Schein miteinander zu versöhnen. Im Anschluss an Kant skizziert Düttmann einen Begriff der Politik, der ebenfalls von einer solchen Spannung durchzogen wird, zwischen Nüchternheit und Affekt, zwischen einem Bewusstsein der Ordnung, die Sicherung und Erhaltung sucht, und einem revolutionären Impuls, der aktiv über sie hinaustreibt."Jeder Mensch will gleichzeitig teilnehmen und in Ruhe gelassen werden. Und da das eigentlich nicht möglich ist, beides, ist man immer in einem Konflikt." (Thomas Bernhard)

Was Kunst weiß, befreit, weil es das Wissen irre macht.Was ist eine schöpferische Tätigkeit? Was ist ein Lebensgefühl? Wie verhalten sich Kunst und Politik zueinander? Kann man einsam leben? Wie lässt sich eine Individualität denken, die Widerstand gegen den Konformismus der allgemeinen Vernetzung leistet? Einerseits enthält die Kunst ein Wissen, das es erlaubt, Antworten auf diese Fragen zu finden. Aber dieses Wissen lässt sich nicht einfach in Aussagen formulieren. Andererseits fordert die Kunst jedes Wissen heraus, weil es ihr um etwas anderes zu tun ist: nicht um ein Wissen, sondern um ein Irren der Idee, um Träume, in denen sich Sein und Schein berühren, um die Gleichzeitigkeit von Allem und Nichts, um ein Leben ohne Selbsterhaltung und Selbstbehauptung.Was weiß Kunst? ist ein philosophisches Buch, das sich gegen die heute in der Kunsttheorie und Kunstproduktion vorherrschenden Begriff des Wissens wendet. Denn dieser Begriff ist eingeführt worden, um der Herausforderung der Kunst und der Philosophie - des Irrens, das zur Idee gehört - auszuweichen und dem ubiquitären Diktat der Evaluation zu genügen. Was weiß Kunst? versucht, gegen das Vergessen, die Verdrängung und die Ausschließung anzugehen, denen trotz aller Lippenbekenntnisse das Denken des zwanzigsten und einundzwanzigsten Jahrhunderts preisgegeben wird, um die Philosophie in Professionalismus und Populismus aufzuteilen. Was weiß Kunst? will eine Kritik brandmarken, die den neoliberalen Zeitgeist bestätigt, nicht erschüttert. Was weiß Kunst? will unzeitgemäß sein.

Zum modernen Selbstverständnis der Kunst gehörte es, gegebene Wissensbestände und Traditionen in Frage zu stellen. Heute übt sich Kunst vielfach in konformistischer Bestätigung des neoliberalen Zeitgeistes, vor allem dort, wo sie ihre eigene Radikalität verkennt. Was ist Gegenwartskunst? ist der Versuch, das Verhältnis von Kunst und Politik für unsere Gegenwart auf den Begriff zu bringen. Alexander García Düttmann gelingt es in seinem neuen Essay nicht nur, die Gegenwartskunst in ihrer Radikalität theoretisch zu fassen, sondern auch zu zeigen, wie sie dazu dient, die politische Ideologie unserer Zeit zu verstärken: eine Ideologie, die eine wirkliche gesellschaftliche Veränderung hintertreibt. Das Buch führt so ins Zentrum der politisch-ästhetischen Debatten unserer Gegenwart.

Art and politics are related through repetition. Both realms are structured by practices of repetition and share a common room of sens(e)uality – aesthetics in the emphatic sense of the word. It is the aesthetics and practices of repetition that reveal the relation between both realms. This volume proposes to explore aesthetic and cultural phenomena that effect change in the non-aesthetical realm, not so much in spite, but precisely because of their being ''mere'' repetitions.Repetition shapes art works through procedures and processes of reproduction, copying, depiction, or reenactment. As representation of the world, mimetic art''s relationship to the political and social world can be conceived as repetition. When can mimetic works of art nonetheless become a trigger, participant in or vehicle for political and social transformation? How do mimetic practices as diverse as those of the Research Institute Forensic Architecture, the theater of Milo Rau, video installations with found footage from social media and the fictional NSK State address and change regimes of visibility? How can practices such as performative gender constitution and propaganda, which (ostensibly) affirm regimes of visibility, be understood as processes of change through repetition? How do commemorative cultures and practices of documentation interrelate? How is historical reality produced through mimesis with a view to an imaginary political future?By exploring works of art from a wide range of historical periods, places, media and contexts – from the political thought hidden in Hegel''s Aesthetics through Hélène Cixous''s practice of writing difference(s), from contemporary applied theater through the Gezi Park Uprising in 2013, and from installations of fictional national museums through to the artistic commemoration of assassinated political activists in Iran – all contributions in this volume attempt to show how a concept of change through repetition can help redefine the relationship between art and politics and to enlighten us on the transformative potential of repetition in ''political art''.
