>
>Telecracy Against Democracy
>Bernard Stiegler critically reflects on what he

>television and the wider televisual program industries.
>
>Technology and Politics: A Response to Bernard Stiegler

>
>What New Humanism Today?
>Jean-Hugues Barthelemy argues for a reading of 
>humanism and Enlightenment that strips them of 
>their scientistic and Eurocentric implications 
>and makes the values of both available for 
>contemporary appropriation by way of Simondon, Marx, and Heidegger.
>
>Kant Avec Ferry: Some Thoughts on Bernard 
>Stieglers Prendre Soin: I. De La Jeunesse et des Generations
>Chris Turner on Stieglers understanding of the 
>import of the neoliberal turn, the barbarism of

>industries as individuals are targeted merely as consumers.

>About Cultural Politics
>
>Cultural Politics is a welcome and innovative 
>addition.  In an academic universe already well 
>populated with journals, it is carving out its 
>own unique place­broad and a bit quirky.  It 
>likes to leap between the theoretical and the 
>concrete, so that it is never boring and often 
>filled with illuminating glimpses into the 
>intellectual and cultural worlds. Lawrence 
>Grossberg, University of North Carolina, USA.

>John Armitage, Northumbria University, UK
>Ryan Bishop, National University of Singapore, Singapore
>Douglas Kellner, University of California, Los Angeles, USA
>
>Cultural Politics is an international, refereed 
>journal that explores the global character and 
>effects of contemporary culture and politics. It 
>analyzes how cultural identities, agencies and 
>actors, political issues and conflicts, and 
>global media are linked, characterized, examined 
>and resolved. In doing so, the journal explores 
>precisely what is cultural about politics and 
>what is political about culture. It investigates 
>the marginalized and outer regions of this 
>complex and interdisciplinary subject area.
>
>Each issue publishes artwork by selected artists 
>reflecting contemporary cultural and political issues.
