There has been for some years a consciousness that in modern thought Benedetto Croce ought to be regarded very highly indeed. And yet his high significance has been, for the most part, taken on... More > trust. No one can pretend that Croce is read generally in this country. The deterrents have been, in the first place, the fact that he wrote in Italian, and then, when he became translated, the greatness of the extent of reading necessary to enter into the ideas underlying his philosophy. But the time would seem now to have come, with the publication of this short and comprehensive work, when it is no longer reasonable to withhold serious consideration from Croce's views.
Croce divides his subject into four parts:
(1) What is Art?
(2) Prejudices Relating to Art.
(3) The Place of Art in the Spirit and in Human Society.
(4) Criticism and the History of Art.< Less

Paradoxical, surreal, spontaneous.
Fast transformations like mirroring a sunlight over a building facade or swinging up and down suspended on a tree. Nomadic landscapes made of

Collectively, these writings examine the logic of a generative grammar, a linear sequence in which words precede our speaking of them, as an inherently unstable means of representing, translating or conveying experience. Divided into four sections: Inside Voices, Area Codes, Outside Voices, and Dialects, After Words attempts to analyze, undo, and yet also reposition the power of the speech act. Comprised primarily of essays from the 2010 Social Practice Workshop group, the text also includes writings on voice from guest artists and thinkers Raimundas Malasauskas, Althea Thauberger, A Constructed World, Gregory Sholette, Randy Lee Cutler, and Carolina Cayacedo< Less
