Friedrich Nietzsche gilt heute als einer der wichtigsten Zeugen der Suche des modernen Menschen nach einem neuen Selbstverständnis. Trotz seiner kraftvollen Sprache, seines polemischscharfen, aphoristischen Stils und seiner glänzenden kulturkritischen Analysen erfährt sein Werk erst in der zweiten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts eine ihm angemessene Aufnahme.»Die fröhliche Wissenschaft« dokumentiert Nietzsches Grundgedanken und -konzeptionen und vermittelt einen Eindruck seiner inhaltlichen und formalen Qualität und Sprengkraft.

Avital Ronell asks why "there is no culture without drug culture". She deals with the usual drugs and alcohol (and their celebrities: Freud's cocaine, Baudelaire's hashish, the Victorians' laudanum), and moves beyond them to addictions that are culturally accepted - an insatiable appetite for romance novels, for instance, and romance itself. It is a commonplace of modern culture to presume that there is a subculture or counterculture deeply saturated with drugs, but such modern cultures need subcultures, and need drugs on every level. Culture defines itself, its classes, its power structures, and its economy in terms of how it allows and encourages drugs to circulate. If drugs are dangerous, that danger seems to increase their appeal for millions. If drugs are unnatural and addictive, gasoline is a drug. What is art but a kind of drug, and what is art criticism but a kind of criticism of drugs and drug-induced states? Gustave Flaubert's "Madame Bovary" takes up the problems of drugs and addiction in numerous ways, which Ronell unpacks and presents as examples of the safe and unsafe.From Emma Bovary's romantic hallucinations to her suicide by arsenic, she moves through this realistic novel constantly reaching for the unreal. For Ronell, Emma Bovary represents the first addict, embodying a yearning that calls from the bottom of her humanity, and which it seems can only be satisfied by some sort of drug.

The recent work of this New York-based artist who works with extraordinary painterly and calligraphic artistic detail.Jacob El Hanani (b. 1947) was born in Casablanca, Morocco, and was raised in Israel. He produces highly intricate works through the painstaking repetition of miniscule marks, often Hebrew letters repeated thousands of times using ink on paper or canvas. He draws these images without magnification. The end result is a work of extraordinary detail that appears to be a pattern from a distance and speaks of the passage of time and the link between the microscopic and the infinite.Inspired by Albrecht Dürer and minimalism, El Hanani practices the ancient art of micrography, in which tiny calligraphic letters are repeatedly drawn to create abstract designs. Jewish scribes used this technique to transcribe holy texts. El Hanani sees his work as part of this continuum and himself as a champion of the handmade. Autorid: Adam Kirsch
