"Rrrevolutionnaire: Conversations in Theory, Vol. 1," based on the "Conversations in Theory" event series at Slought Foundation, responds to those who would quickly dismiss "Theory" as a sterile form of inquiry unable to produce change. This new publication presents dynamic conversations about violence, mourning, and revolution in contemporary art and life. Contributors to this volume consider the relationship between theoretical practice and cultural and historical transformation to explore the ways theory is itself revolutionary.
The editors of "Rrrevolutionnaire" have conceived of this publication as an installation or curatorial intervention. The conversations have not been merely transcribed, but transformed with the intent of raising questions about how knowledge is situated and how certain forms of authority are archived and reproduced. The result is a unique and timely book that will interest a broad selection of readers concerned with literary theory, cinema studies, contemporary art and the historic avant-gardes.
"Rrrevolutionnaire: Conversations in Theory, Vol. 1" is edited by Gregg Lambert and Aaron Levy, with contributions by distinguished theorists and cultural critics including Branka Arsic, Eduardo Cadava, Rebecca Comay, Gregg Flaxman, Gregg Lambert, Thomas Y. Levin, Catherine Liu, Dorothea Olkowski, Jean-Michel Rabaté, Avital Ronell, Keith Sanborn, Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, and Anthony Vidler. The volume includes photographs by Argentinean artist Julio Grinblatt documenting the physical space in which these conversations were staged.
This publication has been made possible in part through the generous financial support of the Dean of the College of Arts &
Sciences and the Department of English at Syracuse University, as well as the Department of English and the Program in Comparative Literature and Theory at the University of Pennsylvania.
