What Kind of Creatures Are We? , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 250min

Noam Chomsky is widely known and deeply admired for being the founder of modern linguistics, one of the founders of the field of cognitive science, and perhaps the most avidly read political theorist and commentator of our time. In these lectures, he presents a lifetime of philosophical reflection on all three of these areas of research to which he has contributed for over half a century. In clear, precise, and non-technical language, Chomsky elaborates on 50 years of scientific development in the study of language, sketching how his own work has implications for the origins of language, the close relations that language bears to thought, and its eventual biological basis. He expounds and criticizes many alternative theories, such as those that emphasize the social, the communicative, and the referential aspects of language. Chomsky reviews how new discoveries about language overcome what seemed to be highly problematic assumptions in the past. He also investigates the apparent scope and limits of human cognitive capacities and what the human mind can seriously investigate, in the light of history of science and philosophical reflection and current understanding. Moving from language and mind to society and politics, he concludes with a searching exploration and philosophical defense of a position he describes as "libertarian socialism," tracing its links to anarchism and the ideas of John Dewey, and even briefly to the ideas of Marx and Mill, demonstrating its conceptual growth out of our historical past and urgent relation to matters of the present. ungekürzt.

Eleanor, or, the Rejection of the Progress of Love , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 312min

A missing laptop, a critic, a sojourn in communal living - Eleanor, or, The Rejection of the Progress of Love is a bracingly intelligent examination of grief, autonomy, aging, desire, information overload, and the condition of being a thinking and feeling inhabitant of an often unthinkable, numbing world. Anna Moschovakis’s debut novel bristles with honesty, humor, and the hungers that propel us to revise and again revise our lives.About the authorAnna Moschovakis’s books include They and We Will Get into Trouble for This, You and Three Others Are Approaching a Lake (winner of the James Laughlin Award), and English translations of Albert Cossery’s The Jokers, Annie Ernaux’s The Possession, and Bresson on Bresson. She is a longtime member of the Brooklyn-based publishing collective Ugly Duckling Presse and cofounder of Bushel, a collectively run art and community space in the Catskills. This is her first novel.Reviews"Philosophically exhaustive yet profoundly human, this book sets itself the task of asking the big questions - What am I? What was I? What will I be? - in a style that evokes Lispector and Camus but with the self-referential and weary globalism of the current milieu. A consummately accomplished novel. A worthy treatise on the now." (Kirkus, starred review)"Performance art in print." (Publishers Weekly)"A brilliant, visceral, sensual examination of the condition of being a woman, and the inherent struggles related to identity and authority that exist for all of us." (Nylon)"Anna Moschovakis has done something remarkable." (Los Angeles Review of Books)"Moschovakis’s novel is braided and experimental, yet it looks for illumination in the plainspoken and the authentic." (Wall Street Journal) ungekürzt. Language: English.

Asymmetries between Language Production and Comprehension

This book asserts that language is a signaling system rather than a code, based in part on such research as the finding that 5-year-old English and Dutch children use pronouns correctly in their own utterances, but often fail to interpret these forms correctly when used by someone else. Emphasizing the unique and sometimes competing demands of listener and speaker, the author examines resulting asymmetries between production and comprehension. The text offers examples of the interpretation of word order and pronouns by listeners, and word order freezing and referential choice by speakers. It is explored why the usual symmetry breaks down in children but also sometimes in adults. Gathering contemporary insights from theoretical linguistic research, psycholinguistic studies and computational modeling, Asymmetries between Language Production and Comprehension presents a unified explanation of this phenomenon."Through a lucid, comprehensive review of acquisition studies on reference-related phenomena, Petra Hendriks builds a striking case for the pervasiveness of asymmetries in comprehension/production. In her view, listeners systematically misunderstand what they hear, and speakers systematically fail to prevent such misunderstandings. She argues that linguistic theory should take stock of current psycholinguistic and developmental evidence on optionality and ambiguity, and recognize language as a signaling system. The arguments are compelling yet controversial: grammar does not specify a one-to-one correspondence between form and meaning; and the demands of the mapping task differ for listeners and speakers. Her proposal is formalized within optimality theory, but researchers working outside this framework will still find it of great interest. In the language-as-code vs. language-as-signal debate, Hendriks puts the ball firmly in the other court." Ana Pérez-Leroux, University of Toronto, Canada

The Golden Sunshine

Der Körper im Stresstest der KunstDer chinesische Künstler He Yunchang (geb. 1967 in Kunming, lebt und arbeitet in Peking) absolvierte 1991 das Central Yunnan Art Institute und machte sich in den letzten zwei Jahrzehnten mit einer Reihe außergewöhnlicher Performances einen Namen. So ließ er sich 24 Stunden lang in Beton eingießen, versuchte - an einem Kran hängend - einen Fluss mit seinem eigenen Blut in zwei Hälften zu teilen, brannte sich sein Gewand vom Leib, verharrte mitten in den Niagarafällen oder ließ sich einen Rippenbogen entfernen. Immer war sein Körper der wesentliche Teil seiner künstlerischen Praxis. Nichts scheint als Ausdrucksmittel zu schwierig. Was auf den ersten Blick als mutige Stunts erscheinen mag, entpuppt sich jedoch schnell als zutiefst analytisches und hochreferenzielles Kunstwerk, das existenzielles Denken mit traditioneller chinesischer Mythologie und antiker Philosophie verbindet, aber auch auf die Kunst der österreichischen Aktionisten wie etwa Günter Brus oder auf das aufsehenerregende Duo Ulay und Marina Abramovic verweist.Die von Ai Weiwei kuratierte Ausstellung im Francisco Carolinum in Linz ist He Yunchangs erste umfassende Retrospektive im deutschsprachigen Raum und wird begleitet von einem umfangreichen Katalog, der seine Praxis anhand von Texten von Ai Weiwei, Freda Fiala, Nataline Colonnello, Wang Fen, He Yunchang und Alfred Weidinger in die Tradition der körperbezogenen Aktions- und Performancekunst einordnet.The Body in the Stress Test of ArtThe Chinese artist He Yunchang (b. Kunming, 1967; lives and works in Beijing), who graduated from the Central Yunnan Art Institute in 1991, has made a name for himself over the past two decades with a series of extraordinary performances. He had himself immured in a concrete cast and stayed inside it for 24 hours; tried to divide a river into two halves with his own blood while suspended from a crane; burnt his attire off his body; paused halfway down the Niagara Falls; or had a costal arch removed. In all these works, his body figured as the central medium of his creative practice; no means of expression seems too challenging for him. What may appear at first glance like stunts and tests of courage soon reveal themselves to be profoundly analytical and richly referential works of art that intertwine existential thinking with traditional Chinese mythology, legends, and ancient philosophy, while also gesturing toward the art of the Austrian Actionists like Günter Brus or the duo Ulay und Marina Abramovic's spectacular pieces.Curated by Ai Weiwei, the exhibition at the Francisco Carolinum, Linz, isHe Yunchang's first comprehensive retrospective in the German-speaking countries and accompanied by an extensive catalogue with essays by Ai Weiwei, Freda Fiala, Nataline Colonnello, Wang Fen, He Yunchang, and Alfred Weidinger that embed his practice in the tradition of body-centered action and performance art.
