00_Nancy_TheMuses_TheVestigeofArt.pdf | Nancy, Jean-Luc | Philosophy, Art, Muses, | The fifth essay titled 'The Vestiges' from a collection of five titled 'The Muses': A set of philosophical reflections on art and aesthetics. From the caves of Lascaux to Caravaggio's Death of the Virgin to the postmodern question of the marketplace and the 'end' of art, Nancy masterfully explicates the threshold role art plays in the philosophical distinctions between the sensory and the sensible, life and death, presentation and representation. Art is also compellingly shown to be the foundational category for any concept of religion, technology, or even 'humanity.'" | Stanford University Press | 1/1/1996 | Text | English | ||||

By invoking a nonhuman, physical world, Serres asserts, science frees us from the oppressive confines of a purely social existence, but threatens to become a totalitarian order in its own right. The new legislator of the natural contract must bring science and law into balance." | University of Michigan Press | 1/1/1995 | Text | English | ||||

Through pleasure, pain, and the acquisition of knowledge, we receive and transmit information through a series of organized systems that make up our organs which then make up our bodies. In this chapter, Deleuze and Guattari ask us to consider in what ways are have our experiences been confined to this unidirectional interaction, and how can the functionality of our bodies be used as an analog for the way in which we make our decisions and our judgements. Is it possible to free ourselves of our organs, or to free ourselves from the limitations of the body and the senses in which we experience our environments?" | University of Minnesota Press | 1/1/1987 | Text | A Thousand Plateaus | English | |||

Coen acquaints readers not only with the century’s most eloquent seismic commentators, but also with countless other citizen-observers, many of whom were women. Coen explains how observing networks transformed an instant of panic and confusion into a field for scientific research, turning earthquakes into natural experiments at the nexus of the physical and human sciences. Seismology abandoned this project of citizen science with the introduction of the Richter Scale in the 1930s, only to revive it in the twenty-first century in the face of new hazards and uncertainties. The Earthquake Observers tells the history of this interrupted dialogue between scientists and citizens about living with environmental risk." | University of Chicago Press | 1/1/2013 | Text | English | ||||

"There exists a receipt for January 9, 1386, in which the executioner of Falaise, France, acknowledges payment of ten sous and ten deniers for his efforts and salary for having dragged and then hanged at the [place of] Justice in Falaise a sow of approximately three years of age who had eaten the face of the child of Jonnet le Macon..." |

In response, environmental movements arose to defend the rainforests and the communities of people who live in them. |
