Clémentine Deliss
For quite some time now, ethnographic museums in Europe have been compelled to legitimate themselves. Their exhibition-making has become a topic of discussion, as has the contentious history of their collections, which have come about through colonial appropriation. Clearly, this cannot continue. That the situation can be different is something that Clémentine Deliss explores in her current publication. She offers an intriguing mix of autobiographically-informed novel and conceptual thesis on contemporary art and anthropology. Reflections on her own work while she was Director of Frankfurts Weltkulturen Museum (Museum of World Cultures) are interwoven with the explorations of influential filmmakers, artists and writers. She introduces the Metabolic Museum as an interventionist laboratory for remediating ethnographic collections for future generations. CLÉMENTINE DELISS has achieved international renown as a curator, cultural historian and publisher of artists books. In her role as Director of the Weltkulturen Museum in Frankfurt, as a curator, and as a professor and researcher at eminent institutes and academies, she focuses on transdisciplinary and transcultural exchanges. She is Associate Curator of KW Berlin and Guest Professor at the Academy of Arts, Hamburg.
Verdad y barroco metáfora, ethos y mariachi mental
En este libro se combina la noción de ethos barroco, de Bolívar Echeverría, con la de verdad metafórica, de Paúl Ricoeur para «inventar» un método de lectura. En realidad, se trata de la lectura de un único texto: Pedro Infante. Las leyes del querer. Esa mezcla, hirviente e inconexa, de retrato literario, ensayo pseudo-psicosociológico, mariachi bufo, sátira histórica y/o chisme de barrio.Este método de lectura superpone y combina consideraciones estéticas y teóricas, tanto de forma como de contenido.En primer lugar, el autor explora el carácter barroco de la forma poética de Las leyes del querer. A través de esas nociones, urga en el sustrato ontológico de la metáfora literaria. Al final -trabajada así la relación íntima entre barroquismo y verdad en una obra artística- el autor ensayará una interpretación del mundo de la vida en América Latina en tanto ilusión barroca y metáfora oncológica.
Physik des Lebens
Über Leben nachzudenken, muss seinen Ausgangspunkt im All nehmen. Wenn das Universum wirklich unendlich groß ist und Leben nach physikalischen und chemischen Grundlagen «geschieht», könnte es dann nicht doch sein, dass wir nicht die Einzigen sind? Bislang haben jedoch auch umfangreiche Suchaktionen kein fremdes Leben auf fernen Planeten finden können – aber wonach suchen wir denn eigentlich, wenn wir über menschliches und extraterrestrisches Leben reden? Astrophysikerin Sibylle Anderl begibt sich auf Spurensuche und lotet aus, was wir finden müssten, um einigermaßen gesichert oder ungesichert über Leben zu sprechen. Ihre Suche startet auf erdähnlichen Planeten und fernen Ozeanen, ihre Reflexionen kosmischen Ausmaßes sind komprimiert in Kursbuch 203.
