The Irony Monster
The Irony Monster:First and Last Deity Silke-Maria Weineck (bio) The Irony Monster is the deity of the future perfect: it determines what it all will have meant. It is a logic rather than an agent, but it creates an agency effect as powerful as any of the old gods. In fact, as randomicity with a purpose, it is the most fearsome of the cosmic forces. Its victims are legion, many of them famous: Herodotus’ Croesus, Sophocles’ Oedipus, Shakespeare’s…
Thoughts Before a Line by Kleist
On 13 October 1810, Heinrich von Kleist publishes “Diverse Feelings before Friedrich's Seascape,” and “the art world gained one of its few indelible statements, destined to become inseparable from
Invisible Person
Taking Schmitt's famous dictum that "all significant concepts of the theory of the modern state are secularized theological concepts" as its starting point, this article serves as a critique of Schmitt's concept of secularization via a reflection on paternity as the master metaphor of legitimate power.

The Abyss Above
Somatic Archive
This essay concerns one of the strangest exhibits of all time: the display of Friedrich Nietzsche's live body in Villa Silberblick, a house overlooking Weimar, the "City of European Culture" in 1999. Since Weimar's self-representation is organized almost entirely around the glory of a handful of long-dead men and the public spaces devoted to them, the town might as well have declared itself "City of Museum Culture." Indeed, its culture has been s…
