God has given us the world to be our own-he has given his world to be our world. And that itself is an amazing fact! He does not desire mere blind submission or purely passive acceptance of the gift of existence. He desires free, spontaneous, personal, and creative cooperation. He desires playfulness in the playground of the universe that he has given for no other reason than that he loves us, loves us tenderly and ardently. Thus we are called to...

Through a study of the contemporary German film movement the Berlin School, Olivia Landry examines how narrative film has responded to our highly digitalized and mediatized age, not with a focus on stasis and realism, but by turning back to movement, spectacle, and performance.

Vanessa Lemm argues that the animal is neither a random theme nor a metaphorical device in Nietzsche's thought. Instead, it stands at the center of his renewal of the practice and meaning of philosophy itself. Lemm provides an original contribution to ongoing debates...

Artistic labour was exemplary for Utopian Socialist theories of 'attractive labour', and Marxist theories of 'nonalienated labour', but the rise of the anti-work movement and current theories of 'fully automated luxury communism' have seen art topple from its privileged place within the left's political imaginary as the artist has been reconceived as a prototype of the precarious 24/7 worker.
Art and Postcapitalism argues that art remains essential...

A timely exploration of how odor seeps into structural inequality
Our sense of smell is a uniquely visceral-and personal-form of experience. As Hsuan L. Hsu points out, smell has long been spurned by Western aesthetics as a lesser sense for its qualities of subjectivity, volatility, and materiality.
