Η ΠΡΟΛΕΤΑΡΙΑΚΗ ΔΗΜΟΣΙΑ ΣΦΑΙΡΑ
Το βιβλίο που κρατάτε στα χέρια σας εστιάζει στο ζήτημα της οργάνωσης του ταξικού ανταγωνιστικού κινήματος, όχι όμως από τη σκοπιά της συγκρότησης μιας διαχωρισμένης συλλογικότητας που εμφορείται από λιγότερο ή περισσότερο πρωτοποριακές αντιλήψεις, αλλά από τη σκοπιά της δημιουργίας της προλεταριακής δημόσιας σφαίρας, δηλαδή της αναγκαίας μορφής μεσολάβησης μέσω της οποίας οι κατακερματισμένες και αλυσιτελείς εμπειρίες αντίθεσης και αγώνα ενάντια στις καπιταλιστικές κοινωνικές σχέσεις μπορούν να συνδυαστούν σε μια θεωρητικά μεσολαβημένη συ...

(H/B) The Labyrinth of Tender Force : 166 Love Stories
No human quality is more necessary for survival than love. But while love has the power to lift us up with boundless joy, it has equal strength to crush us-it is easy to lose your way within love's complex labyrinth of oppositions.

(P/B) PUBLIC SPHERE AND EXPERIENCE
The "public sphere" is a key concept in political discourse, designating a space for political action. But is this a single authoritative and universal space in which various positions compete for recognition, or does it consist of multiple local spaces spread over diverse collectivities? In Kluge and Negt's groundbreaking book they examine the material conditions of experience in an arena that had previously figured only as an abstract term: the media of mass and consumer culture. With a new, up-to-date introduction from Alexander Kluge. ...

(H/B) DECEMBER
In the historic tradition of calendar stories and calendar illustrations, author and film director Alexander Kluge and celebrated visual artist Gerhard Richter have composed December, a collection of thirty-nine stories and thirty-nine snow-swept photographs for the darkest month of the year. In stories drawn from modern history and the contemporary moment, from mythology, and even from meteorology, Kluge toys as readily with time and space as he does with his characters. In the narrative entry for December 1931, Adolf Hitler avoids a car ...
