The Nature of Critique: Revisiting Adorno's "Natural History" amid the Postcritique Debates
This article revisits Adorno's concept of "natural history" to propose an alternative to the exhausted paradigm of denaturalizing critique. As Jonathan Crary's work on the ruination of sleep illustrates, the reflex to denounce natural limits as ideological constructs falls short when it comes to confronting social pathologies wrought by late capitalism's demand for infinite flexibility. Since its Enlightenment origins, however, critical thought h…
The Art of Taking Note in G. Ch. Lichtenberg's Waste-Books

Lichtenberg's Waste-Books Johannes Wankhammer (bio) Rüdiger Campe's influential characterization of the writing scene as a tripartite ensemble of "language, instrumentality, and gesture" ("Writing; The Scene of Writing" 973) results from a tacit elimination. Initially, the matrix of heuristic distinctions still includes a fourth element in addition to these three: the question of intention. That intention gets ass…

(According to Barthes, this is a consequence of modernism—"undoubtedly since Mallarmé.") 2) As t…

Scholars of various stripes now use the term with an air of…
On Seeing Otherwise: Johann Jakob Breitinger’s Poetics of Attention
This article contextualizes Johann Jakob Breitinger’s Critische Dichtkunst (1740) within a transdisciplinary discourse on Aufmerksamkeit (attention) in eighteenth-century epistemology and science. I argue that Breitinger’s adaptation of the epistemology of attention defines his most distinctive poetological concepts, including his notion of poetry as a type of painting (poetische Mahlerey), his elevation of the new (das Neue) and the marvelous (d…
