Affects, Indexes and Signs
Usually, when we determine the authenticity of a performer in popular music then we do so either through their biography or their inherence within a tradition. The question of authenticity then becomes one of betrayal. This article argues that there might be a unique way of approaching authenticity through affects, where authenticity is impersonal rather than personal. It uses the work of Pierre Schaeffer to describe the difference between indexe…
Atheism of the Word
Kant marks a fundamental break in the history of philosophy of religion and the concept of God. God is no longer interpreted as a being necessary to understand the existence of a rational universe, but as an idea that makes sense of our morality. Cohen supplements this idea with the concept of personality, which he argues is the unique contribution of Judaism. For Rosenzweig and Levinas, the monotheistic God is neither a being nor an idea, but th…
Spinoza for our time
Know it while you have it
It is well known that advertising and branding co-opts counter culture to sell commodities, but in this article we uncover the ontological conditions for such an appropriation. We investigate a particular example of contemporary advertising, the Levis commercial “Legacy – Now is our Time“ (2011), which was subsequently pulled because of the British riots of that year, as a historical situated and saturated moment. This article employs Benjamin's …
Remembering the impossible possibility
Kierkegaard is classified as an existentialist. The irony is of course is if he were authentically existential then he would escape any categorisation. Rather than reading Kierkegaard as yet one more item on the shelves of the history of philosophy, why not read him as though he were relevant to our lives? Our argument is that modern capitalism has taken a subjective turn, and therefore reading Kierkegaard is as timely as ever. This isn't a matte…

The Messianic Idea, the Time of Capital and the Everyday
Why should anyone bother with religious ideas? Are they not the most outmoded, reactionary and useless forms of expression? Not if they make us see reality in a different way. What we are faced with in these dangerous times is a complete and total global catastrophe. Capitalism turns away from this disaster (of which it is the cause) by promising an endless future of the same. Only a time which breaks with this time can truly prevent it from happ…

On the Meaning of the Word Other in Levinas
Rejetant l'explication du terme autrui chez Levinas par reference a l'expression une autre personne (S. Critchley) ou par reference a l'existence de Dieu (E. Wyschogrod), l'A. propose une approche phenomenologique de la notion, fondee sur la primaute de la cognition et de la conscience chez Husserl, aboutissant a l'idee d'un dedoublement de la subjectivite
