Ich meine, das ist #Baudrillard, der schreibt, dass der grundlegende Fehler von #Marx und überhaupt jeder Form von politischer #Ökonomie sei, dass sie dem Kapitalismus bzw. den Kapitalisten eine Rationalität unterstellen, der dieser selbst überhaupt nicht folge bzw. die es grundsätzlich da gar nicht gäbe. (Ich kriegs nicht mehr richtig zusammen.) #Trump2 ist, denke ich, stellarer Beleg für sein Argument.

A collage image containing a still of Boiwe from Nicholas Roeg's film The Man Who Fell To Earth. Behind him is added a TV camera ( from around the 50s era ). The screen we are viewing on the left is dripping with red blood. The image of the camera on the right is bathed in a kind of 3-d red hue.

Starving #piglet rescued from Danish #art exhibit

#Benjamin is among three other #piglets #rescued after being left to #starve in a #Danish art exhibition by Chilean artist Marco Evaristti.

The piece was designed to protest #Denmark’s pork industry. But come on, that is not okay.

A member of the artist’s team coordinated with an animal rights group to rescue them.

I'm german, have been living since nearly 40 years in France, mostly in Brittany, now retired from University - continue independant and free research, speaking three languages, even English isn't my most spontaneous, I wanted to do this in english.
I came here like many others, I suppose, exhausted by hate speech on X, publicity, reels, influencers and a lot of other shit on facebook, instagram, etc., but I'm not really a fan of microblogging, that's why facebook did the job for me nearly 15 years. After a first account on mastodon.social @danahilliot with his long posts made me discover climatejustice.social - so it's not only the aims but also the possibility to develop an idea without cutting it in little pieces.
I'm interested in #decolonial #theories, #activism, #global thinking, because euro or occident centered ideas ar obsolete for me in all domains, social, economic, political, ecological and so on. After been formed by #Foucald #Benjamin, #Deleuze, #Derrida reading and studying in the 90ies, nowadays inspirations of mine are mostly Donna #Haraway, Ariella Aisha #Azoulay, Eyal #Weizman, Anna Loewenhaupt #Tsing, but I never stop discovering and go back to older reading periods.
I'm reading a lot (essays, fiction and non-fiction) and have now the time to do it, as I have the time for a lot of movies and other medias, any of them is influential in my thinking and writing.

This is a really intriguing thesis or constellation Arthur Bradley is thinking through in this podcast about his book: the changing modes of the representability / spectability &theatricality of sovereignty or political power from the Baroque (although the term is not mentioned in the #podcast) to now as markers of modernity. podcasts.apple.com/de/podcast/

#Barocktheorie: #Calderon s Das Leben ein Traum habe ich eigentlich mehr so aus Pflichtgefühl angefangen, um tatsächlich zu verstehen, was #Benjamin meint, wenn er diese für uns seltsame Form der Dramaturgie beschreibt, aber es hat sich als eine ziemlich unterhaltsame Lektüre erwiesen & das große moralische & politische Dilemma im Kern der Handlung finde ich auch ziemlich aktuell: Wie sinnvoll handeln vor einem realistisch als extrem düster einzuschätzenden oder absurden Erwartungshorizont?

Back in 1935, Walter #Benjamin wrote the Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction & called it: the age of mass production had shredded the mystical 'aura' that made high culture special. If you can Xerox the Mona Lisa, or stream Beethoven on Spotify, it's no longer sacred. High culture's preciousness is just a marketing gimmick. One that doesn't work anymore.
