“A key difference between a dialogue and an ordinary discussion is that, within the latter people usually hold relatively fixed positions and argue in favor of their views as they try to convince others to change. At best this may produce agreement or compromise, but it does not give rise to anything creative.” PeopleGivingTryingMayDoeDifferencesViewsCreativePositionProduceKeysOrdinaryArguingFavorsDialogueCompromiseDiscussionFixedConvinceLatterAgreement Author:David

“The virtual suppression of ethical discussion after 1845 produces the semblance of purely descriptive analysis, dressed in the mantle of positivist objectivity, analysis which is, in fact, strung to a framework of crude, because unexplicated, moral assumptions.” FactsMoralProduceDiscussionAnalysisAssumptionEthicalFrameworkObjectivityCrudeSuppressionSemblance Book:Break-Out from the Crystal Palace: The Anarcho-Psychological Critique: Stirner, Nietzsche, Dostoevsky Source: Break-Out from the Crystal Palace: The Anarcho-Psychological Critique: Stirner, Nietzsche, Dostoevsky
“They are, in a sense, two sides of the same coin: women are, on the one hand, subjects of an extremely real and abject (as Julia Kristeva put it) body and denigrated sexuality; on the other, the proliferation of images, and their digitalisation produces more and more abstract and air-brushed representations of impossible female bodies. Both indicate, certainly, a "lack of progress." But, one hopes, discussions and resistance are emerging in response.” TwoRealBodyHandsSidesProgressImpossibleAirSubjectsProduceFemaleResponseSexualityResistanceDiscussionAbstractRepresentationCoinsEmergingTwo SidesJuliaProliferationFemale Body Author:Laura Mulvey

“For those actors and directors who produce films which are always about the old kingdom or about heroes, you know about the fantasies related to the classics, but there is no real discussion about today's life and no discussion of the real conditions - which is really sickening. They've become part of a conspiracy, collaborators of the crime, which is lying to the general public and trying to hide the kind of criminal acts happening in many cases.” KnowsTryingKindRealTodayFilmLyingActorsCasesFantasyConditionsCrimeProduceHeroDirectorsHappeningsCriminalsKingdomsDiscussionRelatedConspiracyCollaboratorsGeneral Public Author:Ai Weiwei
