This chapter reviews work published in 2018 which involves consideration of the significance of critical and cultural theory in the present day as well as the diverse legacies of some of its key figures. Books discussed include the English translation of Alain Badiou’s seminar on Lacan, a new series examining the legacies of Lacan alongside those of Derrida, Foucault, and Said, and Thomas Docherty’s analyses of the University’s turn towards servicing the market and of the relation between literature and capital. The chapter demonstrates the ongoing vitality of theory today, as well as its capacity to examine and challenge the supposed obviousness of the assumptions that underpin the status quo.

This chapter reviews four books published in 2018 which are not readily categorized as works in ‘modern European philosophy’: Gurminder K. Bhambra, Kerem Nişancloğlu, and Dalia Gebrial’s edited volume Decolonising the University, Chantal Mouffe’s For a Left Populism, Cinzia Arruzza, Tithi Bhattacharya, and Nancy Fraser’s Feminism for the 99%, and Andreas Malm’s The Progress of this Storm. Yet their uneasy relationship to this philosophy is precisely the reason they constitute a significant contribution to it. The philosophical originality and critical purchase of these books proceed from the fact that each is a singular case of philosophy’s dependence on ‘non-philosophy’; each exposes the impossibility of viewing philosophy as a self-sufficient discipline. In particular, they are a timely reminder that the best political philosophy is produced through actually existing social movements to change (which ecologically now means simply saving) the world. The chapter is divided into six sections: 1. Introduction; 2. Decolonizing Philosophy: Decolonising the University; 3. Anti-Post-Politics: For a Left Populism; 4. Anti-Post-Marxism: Feminism for the 99%; 5. Anti-Postmodernism: The Progress of This Storm; 6. Conclusion.

This chapter reviews works in affect theory published in 2018. The chapter is divided into the following sections: 1. Introduction; 2. The Interplay of Feeling and Thinking, which focuses on Rick Furtak’s Knowing Emotions and Antonio Damasio’s The Strange Order of Things; 3. Narrative of Affect and Affective Narratives, which focuses on Erica L. Johnson’s Cultural Memory, Memorials, and Reparative Writing and Duncan A. Lucas’s Affect Theory, Genre, and the Example of Tragedy; 4. Digital Affect, which focuses on Tero Karppi’s Disconnect: Facebook’s Affective Bonds and Affect and Social Media: Emotion, Mediation, Anxiety and Contagion, edited by Tony D. Sampson, Stephen Maddison and Darren Ellis; 5. Reflections. In publications this year, old themes have been given renewed attention; for instance, the relationship between knowledge and emotion, and narrative and affect, but there have also been new lines of enquiry that have emerged in the sub-field of digital affect, which extends understanding of the role of technology in enhancing and shaping, as well as limiting, felt experience.

This chapter examines material published in the field of the digital humanities (DH) in 2018, all of which explores the relationship between the digitalized present and its pre-digital past(s). In one publication, Friending the Past: The Sense of History in the Digital Age, Alan Liu notes: ‘The signal sense of history […] is not just like a plot on a radar scope. It is like the unfolding epic plot of Tolstoy’s War and Peace’ (p. 157). As political scandals over the use of social media and the role of cyber-targeting to influence electoral outcomes continue to dominate the news, it is becoming increasingly evident that not only are social media ushering in an era in which we are alienated from our personal data, but that today’s digitalized world builds on and replicates pre-digital hegemonic structures. Books by Andrew Piper and Alan Liu discuss ways in which scholars can approach the complexities and challenges of literary tradition and historical transmutation through the application of computational methods and digital tools. Discussion then turns to the ways in which digital practices have converged with wider cultural and political developments since the second half of the twentieth century. Lee Humphreys examines this transformation through the traces that we leave as the record of our daily lives while on social media, while Felix Stalder considers how such practices have wider ramifications as symptoms of a ‘digital condition’, for good and ill. Exploring the pressure points of the digital condition more closely, Safiya Umoja Noble scrutinizes the ways in which algorithmic processes, notably those that drive Google’s search engine, are shaped by and sustain discriminatory regimes at the expense of vulnerable minorities. Finally, Roopika Risam’s critique interrogates the field of the digital humanities itself, which—notwithstanding good intentions—remains dominated by the Global North and is at risk of perpetuating the very power structures that it seeks to dismantle.
本章研究了2018年在数字人文学科(DH)领域发表的材料，所有这些材料都探讨了数字化的现在与其前数字化的过去之间的关系。在一份出版物《与过去为友:数字时代的历史感》中，Alan Liu指出:“历史的信号感[…]不只是雷达范围内的情节。这就像托尔斯泰的《战争与和平》(157页)中展开的史诗情节。随着有关使用社交媒体和网络目标影响选举结果的政治丑闻继续占据新闻头条，越来越明显的是，社交媒体不仅引领了一个我们与个人数据疏远的时代，而且今天的数字化世界建立在并复制了前数字时代的霸权结构。安德鲁·派珀(Andrew Piper)和艾伦·刘(Alan Liu)的书讨论了学者如何通过应用计算方法和数字工具来处理文学传统和历史嬗变的复杂性和挑战。然后讨论转向自20世纪下半叶以来，数字实践与更广泛的文化和政治发展融合的方式。李·汉弗莱斯(Lee Humphreys)通过我们在社交媒体上留下的日常生活记录来研究这种转变，而菲利克斯·斯托德(Felix Stalder)则认为，这些行为如何作为“数字状态”的症状产生更广泛的影响，无论是好是坏。萨菲亚·乌莫贾·诺布尔(Safiya Umoja Noble)更深入地探讨了数字环境的压力点，她仔细研究了算法流程(尤其是驱动b谷歌搜索引擎的算法流程)是如何被歧视性制度塑造并维持下去的，损害了弱势群体的利益。最后，Roopika Risam的批评质疑了数字人文领域本身，尽管出发点是好的，但它仍然由全球北方主导，并且有可能使它试图拆除的权力结构永久化。

This chapter addresses books published in the field of visual culture in 2018 and is divided into three sections: 1. Art and the Internet; 2. Art and Society, and 3. Artists and Their Environment. The books under review cover a broad range of subjects within their specialities, but reflect general trends in contemporary writing and study in the field of visual culture. The first section explores how art critics and those in the field are continuing to deal with visual culture’s relationship with the Internet and digital media (Daniel Birnbaum, Michelle Kuo, eds. More Than Real: Art in the Digital Age; Eva Respini, ed., Art in the Age of the Internet: 1989 to Today). The second section looks at books about art in the social sphere (Kim Snepvangers and Donna Mathewson Mitchell, eds., Beyond Community Engagement: Transforming Dialogues in Art, Education, and the Cultural Sphere; Ole Marius Hylland and Erling Bjurström, eds., Aesthetics and Politics: A Nordic Perspective on How Cultural Policy Negotiates the Agency of Music and Arts; Gary Alan Fine, Talking Art: The Culture of Practice and the Practice of Culture in MFA Education). The third and final section looks at how artists negotiate their environment, responding to and altering their surroundings (Sarah Lowndes, Contemporary Artists Working Outside the City: Creative Retreat; Gabriel N. Gee and Alison Vogelaar, eds., Changing Representations of Nature and the City: The 1960s–1970s and Their Legacies).
本章介绍2018年视觉文化领域出版的书籍，分为三个部分:1.视觉文化;艺术与互联网;2. 3.《艺术与社会》;艺术家和他们的环境。这些书在其专业范围内涵盖了广泛的主题，但反映了当代写作和视觉文化领域研究的总体趋势。第一部分探讨了艺术评论家和那些在该领域的人如何继续处理视觉文化与互联网和数字媒体的关系(丹尼尔·伯恩鲍姆，米歇尔·郭，编)。超越真实:数字时代的艺术Eva Respini主编，《互联网时代的艺术:1989年至今》。第二部分是关于社会领域艺术的书籍(Kim Snepvangers和Donna Mathewson Mitchell主编)。《超越社区参与:改变艺术、教育和文化领域的对话》;Ole Marius hyland和Erling Bjurström，编辑。美学与政治:北欧视角下的文化政策如何协调音乐与艺术代理;加里·艾伦·法恩:《说话的艺术:实践的文化与美术硕士教育中的文化实践》。第三部分也是最后一部分着眼于艺术家如何与他们的环境谈判，回应和改变他们的环境(Sarah Lowndes，当代艺术家在城市外工作:创造性的撤退;Gabriel N.
