Tekst & Context: Jacques Rancière

Valiz has published the first installment in the tekst & context series, edited by Solange de Boer. Each part of tekst & context will consist of one book with a Dutch translation of a text (or a selection of texts) by a major contemporary art theorist, accompanied by a volume with writings on said author's work. The first thinker to get the tekst & context treatment is Jacques Rancière.

The tekst volume, titled Het esthetische denken, is a translation of Rancière's Le partage du sensible and L'Inconscient esthétique; the context book, Grensganger tussen disciplines, contains essays by Marie-Aude Baronian, Pablo Lafuente, Mireille Rosello, and my own essay De Theorie en de sfinx (pp. 33-56), a modified Dutch translation of Theory and the Sphinx (http://svenlutticken.blogspot.com/2007/06/jong-holland-no-4-2006-theory-and.html).

This is a pseudo-blog chronicling my critical, historical and/or theoretical writings on modern and contemporary art and culture. It is intended purely as a more or less regularly updated list of my own writings, as well as of my occasional activities as a "Sunday curator." This isn't necessarily a complete listing. I may not mention some small occasional writings; the focus is on texts that really reflect my current interests and research.

I try very hard not to turn this into an actual blog, though from time to time circumstances may force me to post comments and reflections on cultural politics and on my own practice.I always try to link to the publications in which my texts appear, and if possible to the online versions of the texts themselves. Unfortunately, not many of my articles are available online in their entirety, or for free, and currently I'm not able to post PDFs myself.
