>another in critical dialogue about contemporary culture.

>As an innovative digital presence Critical Contemporary Culture would
>like to use its first issue to invite essays on novelty in contemporary
>culture. This issue will be on what it means to be novel, or to explore
>the new, in the contemporary moment.
>
>Are we obsessed by novelty? Is newness is at the heart of today's over
>consumption and hyper-individualization? Is novelty creative and
>resistant? Is novelty a means of movement beyond ontological,

>humanist forms?

>How novelty plays out in contemporary culture is the focus of the first
>issue of Critical Contemporary Culture.

>sciences together with works produced by artists and cultural
