In this illuminating book, Stephen Barber redefines the Fourth Industrial Revolution for our politics, our societies and those who seek to lead.

The world has the right to know the truth. Did Jesus really come to lead everyone into the presence of God, will those who fail to follow Jesus see eternal life? This book examines the spiritual fitness of Jesus. What were his qualifications? Was he God? Was he capable of leading? The Resurrection of Life hinges upon trusting in the work of Christ, the Resurrection of Death hinges upon rejecting his work. Everyone needs to be aware of just h...

Eine vielstimmige fotografische Auseinandersetzung mit der Corona-Krise

The Vienna Action Group, known for their grotesque, iconoclastic, ritualistic, and sexual works, formed one of the most provocative art movements of the 1960s. This short-lived group--with participants including Günter Brus, Otto Mühl, Hermann Nitsch, and Rudolf Schwarzkogler-- stirred shock and moral outrage as it produced a series of performance-based works that transformed the human body through violent and transgressive actions, often invo...

How did Byzantine culture understand its own objects we now call "art"? This book proposes that they saw and experienced clay pilgrim tokens, relief stamps, and icons of saints as dynamic and fully capable of affecting the world.

Eadweard Muybridge is among the seminal originators of the contemporary world's visual form, with its concentrated image-sequences of bodies in movement and its ocular obsessions. This book examines an almost unknown dimension of Muybridge's work, as a moving-image projectionist, who toured Europe's cities to enthral beyond-capacity audiences with unprecedented projections and who built a moving-image auditorium - long before cinemas were crea...

Kurz nach Sonnenuntergang landet eine Handvoll Fallschirmspringer auf dem Gelände des Atomkraftwerkes San Juan an der kalifornischen Küste. Wenig später haben die Terroristen den Kontrollraum der Anlage besetzt. Was wollen diese Männer, die sich nur vermummt präsentieren und sich augenscheinlich in arabischer Sprache verständigen? Der verantwortliche Einsatzleiter vor Ort, der besonnene FBI-Agent Tom Shea (Bruce Greenwood), steht vor einem Rät...

This book shows how political inaction has shaped the politics, economy and society we recognize today, despite the fact that policymakers are incentivised to act and to be seen to act decisively. Politicians make decisions which affect our lives every day but in our combative Westminster system, are usually only held to account for those which change something. But what about decisions to do nothing? What about policy which is discarded in fa...

Tokyo during the 1960s was a city of immense uproar, protest-riots and insurrection. The work of Tatsumi Hijikata - the seminal figure in Japan's experimental arts culture of the 1960s, initiator of the 'Butoh' performance art and of unprecedented crossovers between dance and other media - took place within that urban uproar, and projects its unique intensity. Central to Hijikata's vital 1960s work are his many films, from experimental proj...

A lost city in the North of England during the momentous winter of 1978 and the accelerating collapse of the UK's final socialist government-the so-called 'Winter of Discontent', and the final winter before the onset of the Thatcher era, which will imminently raze or transform everything and everybody in that city. For that last-gasp moment, young figures engulf themselves with obsession in the punk-rock cacophonies and accompanying riots that...

His Theatre of Cruelty altered the course of modern theatre, and his experiments with the Surrealist movement have proved inspirational throughout Europe and America, But Artaud's life was one of terrible failure and confrontation, an exploration of the extremes of agony and joy.

Much of contemporary visual culture can be traced directly to the work of Eadweard Muybridge, photographer and film pioneer. In this book, the author analyses Muybridge's prodigious output principally through the photographer's own scrapbook, a multidimensional and unprecedented "memory book" that was created in the final years of his life.

Following England's future corporate and digital disintegration, and the fall of its cities, a hallucinatory conflict -- inspired and propelled by the history and traces of 1970s punk rock and the spectres of Jimmy Savile and Peter Sutcliffe, the "Kings of Leeds" -- erupts between the South and the North, so virulent and all-engulfing that only fragments of its memory can survive. A contemporary myth of text and image, "England's Darkness" exp...
