Through the prism of criticism, the modalities of thinking form a spectrum: on one end, systematic exposition, on the other, the fragment. It is the latter, fragmentary approach that distinguishes Matches—an investigation that does not focus on a single theme developed in all its aspects but, rather, on a constellation of themes in art, literature, philosophy, science, social and political thought, as well as the human in relation to history and nature. The author pursues here in performative fashion her research into the history of critique from the Enlightenment onward. Her choice of the fragment—in the tradition of writing represented by Gracián, Chamfort, Lichtenberg, and, closer to us, Nietzsche, Adorno, and Benjamin—does not, however, stem from an attempt to comprehend the contemporary world, which can only be done after the fact. Instead, served by an expressive and incisive style, Matches foregrounds the necessary elements for a critique of our time, capturing them in their contradictory and complementary relations. It situates itself under the sign of the future, reviving the spirit of utopia, reminding us that the last word need not belong to the present.

Parmi les diverses modalités que se donne la pensée critique, figurent, aux extrémités du spectre, d'un côté l'exposé systématique, de l'autre l'approche fragmentaire. C'est cette dernière démarche qui caractérise Feux croisés, enquête où se déploie un enchaînement de thèmes qui forment une constellation de pensées touchant à l'art, la littérature, la philosophie, la science, la critique sociale et politique, la relation de l'homme à l'histoire et à la nature. L'auteur poursuit de façon performative ses recherches sur l'histoire de la critique, notamment à l'époque des Lumières. Le choix du fragment s'inscrit dans la tradition d'écriture illustrée par Gracián, Chamfort, Lichtenberg et, plus près de nous, Adorno. Servi par un style expressif et incisif, le questionnement tend ici à la mise au jour d'éléments significatifs pour une critique de notre temps, envisagés dans leurs rapports contradictoires ou complémentaires. Feux croisés se place ainsi sous le signe de l'avenir, renouant avec l'élan des lumières de l'utopie. Le dernier mot n'appartient pas au présent. [source éditeur]

Alexander Kluge is one of contemporary Germany's leading intellectuals and artists. A key architect of the New German Cinema and a pioneer of auteur television programming, he has also cowritten three acclaimed volumes of critical theory, published countless essays and numerous works of fiction, and continues to make films even as he expands his video production to the internet. Despite Kluge's five decades of work in philosophy, literature, television, and media politics, his reputation outside of the German-speaking world still largely rests on his films of the 1960s, 70s, and 80s. With the aim of introducing Kluge's heterogeneous mind to an Anglophone readership, Difference and Orientation assembles thirty of his essays, speeches, glossaries, and interviews, revolving around the capacity for differentiation and the need for orientation toward ways out of catastrophic modernity. This landmark volume brings together some of Kluge's most fundamental statements on literature, film, pre- and post-cinematic media, and social theory, nearly all for the first time in English translation. Together, these works highlight Kluge's career-spanning commitment to unorthodox, essayistic thinking.

"Vergleicht man die Jahre 1989 und 1990, zeigt sich, dass sie in der kollektiven Erinnerung höchst unterschiedlich präsent sind. Die Meisten können sich das Jahr 1989 rasch ins Gedächtnis rufen. Auch mit dem Abstand von knapp dreißig Jahren fällt es leicht, die Abfolge der Ereignisse dieses Herbstes zu erzählen? alles verdichtete sich hier auf wenige, hochdramatische Wochen. 1990 dagegen wirkt in der Erinnerung wie ein blinder Fleck. Das Gedächtnis, von den sich überschlagenden Ereignissen ebenso gefordert wie von unerfüllten Wünschen und nicht eingestandenen Kränkungen fasst ein solches Jahr nur schwer. Das Jahr 1990 freilegen beschäftigt sich mit den verschiedenen Aspekten des Jahres 1990 und ihrer Aktualität. Es montiert Bilddokumente und Stimmen aus dem Jahr 1990 mit essayistischen Reflexionen und Geschichten, in denen aus der Perspektive der Gegenwart auf dieses Jahr zurückgeschaut wird."--Publisher's description "A comparison of the years 1989 and 1990 shows that they are present in very different ways in the collective memory. Most can quickly recall the year 1989. Even with a gap of almost thirty years, is it easy to tell the sequence of events that autumn -- everything condensed into a few, highly dramatic weeks. 1990, on the other hand, looks like a blind spot in memory. The memory, which is as much a requirement of the overturning of events as of unfulfilled wishes and unacknowledged insults, is difficult for such a year. Das Jahr 1990 Freilegen reveals the various aspects of 1990 and their topicality. It assembles image documents and voices from 1990 with essayistic reflections and stories that look back at this year from a contemporary perspective."--Translation of publisher's description
