N. O. Brown
In this introduction to the Book of Ours student manual and its accompanying lectures and workshops, Norman O. Brown discusses processes for transforming the structure, dynamics, and spirit of conventional large-enrollment undergraduate courses. Brown maps the aims and intentions of the Book of Ours project as a recreation of “mythic consciousness by mythopoeic activity,” and in this way lays out a path to a more “poetical and sacred” style of academic engagement.

This article addresses the turn in Norman O. Brown's intellectual orientation during the 1960s, a reorientation reflecting his newfound alliance with poets, and an internalization of a spirit of poetry that he explicitly derived from the heady atmosphere of the 1960s counterculture. Consequently, he professed a Dionysian outlook on the body politic as a single and singular corporeality, and pledged allegiance to the rhetorical principle of paronomasia—a play on words that sound alike but have different meanings. In his final works Brown came to repeatedly affirm that “there is only poetry.”

Peter de Bolla
The French artist Pierre Bonnard created more than two thousand paintings, many of them now dispersed around museums across the world. He painted in a slightly eccentric manner—on unstretched canvas—and often worked on these paintings over decades. They typically depict closed spaces, interiors, that open out to vistas beyond the room. He also produced a number of self-portraits and a very large number of paintings depicting his muse, Marthe, often going about her toilette. Almost of all these paintings have very strange effects—for the most part overlooked by viewers from his own time to today. These effects, which Peter de Bolla calls “ghosts,” are often depictions hiding in plain sight. In this essay, de Bolla patiently explores how such effects can be seen in one painting, La salle à manger sur le jardin (1930–31), leading the viewer into the strange world Bonnard depicted.
法国艺术家Pierre Bonnard创作了2000多幅画作，其中许多现在分散在世界各地的博物馆中。他在未拉伸的画布上以一种略显古怪的方式作画，几十年来经常创作这些画。它们通常描绘封闭的空间，室内，向房间外的景色敞开。他还创作了许多自画像和大量画作，描绘了他的缪斯女神Marthe经常如厕的情景。几乎所有这些画都有非常奇怪的效果——从他那个时代到今天，大部分都被观众忽视了。这些效果，彼得·德·博拉称之为“鬼魂”，通常是隐藏在众目睽睽之下的描绘。在这篇文章中，de Bolla耐心地探索了如何在一幅名为La salleàmanger sur le jardin（1930-31）的画作中看到这种效果，将观众带入博纳尔描绘的陌生世界。

A. de Boever
In this essay, De Boever focuses on a section titled “Idols of Unrepresentability” in the closing pages of Stathis Gourgouris's book The Perils of the One. Scrutinizing the two counterintuitive theses about iconoclasm's political theology and the artwork's desacralizing power of presentation that Gourgouris proposes there, De Boever expands on Gourgouris's examples to take on, in a productive tension with his thought, what De Boever calls “art's own political theology” and its related politics of “aesthetic exceptionalism.” Proposing a theory of unexceptional art, De Boever ultimately ties such a theory to the unexceptional politics of democratic anarchy that Gourgouris has developed elsewhere. In conclusion, De Boever considers the music Gourgouris has released as “Count G” within this aesthetico-political frame.
在这篇文章中，De Boever关注了Stathis Gourgouris的书《the Perils of the One》的最后几页中题为“偶像的不可再现性”的部分。仔细审视古尔古里提出的关于圣像破坏主义的政治神学和艺术作品去神圣化的呈现能力的两个反直觉的论点，德·博弗扩展了古尔古里的例子，在与他的思想产生张力的情况下，德·博弗称之为“艺术自己的政治神学”及其相关的“美学例外论”政治。De Boever提出了一种普通艺术理论，最终将这种理论与古尔古尔派在其他地方发展的民主无政府主义的普通政治联系起来。综上所述，De Boever认为Gourgouris发布的音乐是在这种美学-政治框架下的“G伯爵”。

James A. Steintrager, Rey Chow
For the past twenty years or so, the Austrian cultural theorist Robert Pfaller has been positing and analyzing the concepts of “interpassivity” (as opposed to interactivity) and the delegation of enjoyment both in sacred rituals and in relation to various media of reproduction (such as video recorders and photocopiers). Steintrager and Chow argue that Pfaller's insights into delegation as a key and understudied feature of media ecologies are particularly relevant today, as delegation of various activities has intensified. However, the latest media and technologies, which gather so much information about us that we end up in a state of informational debt, pose a challenge to his thesis that delegation is an unconscious strategy for seeking relief from the onslaught of images, commodities, and information.
