PUBLICS AND COUNTERPUBLICS

Most of the people around us belong to our world not directly, as kin or comrades, but as strangers. How do we recognize them as members of our world? We are related to them as transient participants in common publics. Indeed, most of us would find it nearly impossible to imagine a social world without publics. In the eight essays in this book, Michael Warner addresses the question: What is a public? According to War

xe!

The first issue of the fanzine, xe!, aunched by Ricardo Cases. Ricardo continues to explore his land, in the wake of El poder de las oranjas (Mack, 2014), with the particular idiosyncrasy of the Levantine landscape and its traditions and festivals.

Walls

In the presence of Dionysus, the god we cannot observe without him doing the same, we are overwhelmed by his strength. Eros is intoxication and awareness, enthusiasm and knowledge. Tenderness and violence arise from a dance which is animal and divine at the same time and imposes on the viewer an involvement beyond the intellectual, an immersion in the living, manifestation of the power that generates forms.
