Description

"Through an engagement with the philosophy of Jean-Frandcois Lyotard, this volume addresses the current crisis in the production and value of knowledge in the humanities and questions what we understand as 'research', 'art practice' and 'the university'. In the spirit of Lyotard's Postmodern Fables, the essays here chase 'the same force of lightness' that Lyotard saw in the arts and the sciences, minimizing jargon and literature review and forging new architectures for interdisciplinarity, critical practice and creative academic work. Alongside a selection of short texts by Lyotard himself, some of which have been translated for the first time, Lyotard and Critical Practice brings together international scholars and artists to explore how Lyotard's thought urges us to question, disrupt and find alternatives to the established programme of the humanities today."--
