  • Humanimality
    Rainer J. Hanshe
    Humanimality is a confrontation, a hybrid monster of a book that interrogates humanity’s troubled relation with its animality, and so its relation to animals, the earth and, ultimately, the cosmos.​In driving not only many species to extinction, but also endangering its very own existence, as well as imperiling the life of the planet, homo sapiens seem to be the most foolhardy ...

  • High Solitude
    Léon-Paul Fargue / Rainer J Hanshe

  • Dionysos Speed
    Rainer J Hanshe
    As the digitization of every aspect of existence grows more pervasive and absolute, from the monitoring of thought to the tracking even of genitals, the central nervous system of the human body has been completely rewired. In the mapping of space-time, the species has moved into a state of total possession, of the enslavement of its drives, imagination, and will. Through this v...

  • Closing Melodies
    Friedrich W Nietzsche / Rainer J Hanshe / VIncent Van Gogh
    As the 19th century comes to a close, Friedrich Nietzsche and Vincent van Gogh unknowingly traverse proximate geographical terrain, nearly circling one another like close but distant stars as the philosopher wanders between Nizza, Sils Maria, and Torino, and the painter wanders between Paris, Arles, and Saint-Rémy. In the midst of their philosophical and artistic pursuits, simu...

  • The Creativity of the Crisis
    Évelyne Grossman / Rainer J Hanshe
    It is sometimes proclaimed that crises generate creative powers. An idea to consider, beyond the banal advertising or entrepreneurial statements about the fruitful nature of crises (political, social, economic, or personal). It is the psychic, literary, and philosophical aspect of the notion of crisis that is explored here in its relationship to creation. The crisis of creativi...

  • My Heart Laid Bare
    Charles Baudelaire / Rainer J. Hanshe / Rainer JHanshe
    In My Heart Laid Bare, an apodictic work of aphorism, maxim, note, and extended reflection, we encounter a fierce dandy who revolts against utilitarianism: to be useful, Baudelaire gibes, is to be hideous. Yet, contrarily, it is not dissolution that this poète maudit praises or celebrates. Although he rejects Progress, he prizes what he calls true progress, for him moral, the w...

  • Belgium Stripped Bare
    Charles Baudelaire / Rainer J Hanshe
    In April of 1864, Baudelaire departed Paris for Brussels with something of a massive shipwreck in his wake: his major work, Les fleurs du Mal, had been condemned and censored a decade earlier, many of his other works were out of print, and he pawned his prized Poe translations to gain much needed survival money. Fearful of being imprisoned for debt, the poet who was an outcast ...

    Gerard Depardieu / Rainer J Hanshe
