The Cluster F Theory Podcast

Timotheus Vermeulen and Gia Milinovich

Société & Culture

Fréquence : 1 épisode/9j. Total Éps: 53

To many of us the world, our very planet, appears to be coming apart. How can we put it back together again (and should we)? What do we salvage and what do we throw away? What goes where and why? Each episode we speak to a philosopher, critical theorist, scientist, artist, writer or thinker about their take on the absolute 'cluster f' that’s happening around us. We don't promise to make you happier, more mindful or fitter, but you will spend some time thinking about something other than yourself.

13. Parafiction - Carrie Lambert-Beatty

jeudi 2 mai 2024 • Durée 44:59

Professor Carrie Lambert-Beatty is a contemporary art historian. She holds a joint appointment in the Department of History of Art and Architecture and the Department of Art, Film and Visual Studies at Harvard. She's the author of some of the most influential arts writing of the 21st century, including the award-winning book Being Watched, Yvonne Rainer in the 1960s and the essay, Make Believe: Parafiction and Plausibility (pdf). Carrie is also a co-editor at the illustrious arts theory journal October.

Her current research is on 30 years of fiction presented as fact in contemporary art, asking what happens when artworks deceive their audiences? What do the experiences of artists’ trickery teach about contemporary ways of knowing? And how can contemporary art help in developing a progressive epistemic set, one able to counter the culture of post-truth and to resist an epistemic return to order?
