Zodiac Signs

By: April Federico,Sabrina Herrmann,Tenora Callahan,Christopher Girardi,Robert Giambo,Juanjuan Henderson,Babette Kraft

Three students walk into a party. One saunters to the middle of the dance floor and strikes up a conversation with the first person they see, inviting them to dance. The second sticks to the shadows, pulling out their phone and shying away from the other party goers. The third student meets up with their small group of friends and proceeds to spend the rest of the evening having fun while ignoring the rest of the crowd. One student was born in February, one student was born in April, and one was born in May. Can you tell which student was born in which month? Zodiac signs are believed to affect personality; not scientifically proven, but yes. Zodiac signs and the constellations that they are based upon are real.

The Hallelujah Effect

Philosophical Reflections on Music, Performance Practice, and Technology

By: Babette Babich

This book studies the working efficacy of Leonard Cohen's song Hallelujah in the context of today's network culture. Especially as recorded on YouTube, k.d. lang's interpretation(s) of Cohen's Hallelujah, embody acoustically and visually/viscerally, what Nietzsche named the 'spirit of music'. Today, the working of music is magnified and transformed by recording dynamics and mediated via Facebook exchanges, blog postings and video sites. Given the sexual/religious core of Cohen's Hallelujah, this study poses a phenomenological reading of the objectification of both men and women, raising the question of desire, including gender issues and both homosexual and heterosexual desire. A review of critical thinking about musical performance as 'currency' and consumed commodity takes up Adorno's reading of Benjamin's analysis of the work of art in the age of mechanical reproduction as applied to music/radio/sound and the persistent role of 'recording consciousness'. Ultimately, the question of what Nietzsche called the becoming-human-of-dissonance is explored in terms of both ancient tragedy and Beethoven's striking deployment of dissonance as Nietzsche analyses both as playing with suffering, discontent, and pain itself, a playing for the sake not of language or sense but musically, as joy.

Günther Anders’ Philosophy of Technology

From Phenomenology to Critical Theory

By: Babette Babich

Gunther Anders' Philosophy of Technology is the first comprehensive exploration of the ground-breaking work of German thinker Gunther Anders. Anders' philosophy has become increasingly prescient in our digitised, technological age as his work predicts the prevalence of social media, ubiquitous surveillance and the turn to big data. Anders' ouevre also explored the technologies of nuclear power and the biotech concerns for the human and transhuman condition which have become so central to current theory. Babette Babich argues that Anders offers important resources on streaming digital media through his writings on radio, television and film and is, unusually, both a comprehensive and profound thinker. Anders' relationship with key philosophers like Hannah Arendt and Walter Benjamin and his thinking on Goethe, Nietzsche and Rilke is also explored with a focus on the deep impact he made on his peers. It reflects specifically on the intersection of Anders' thought Heidegger and the Frankfurt school and how influential a figure he was on the landscape of 20th century philosophy. A compelling rehabilitation of a thinker with profound contemporary relevance.
