Inscriptions 3, n1: Outsourced! Mediatisation and revolt is out

Dear friends,

With apologies for cross-posting.

Inscriptions, an international journal of contemporary thinking on art, 
philosophy, and psycho-analysis, vol. 3, no. 1, is available Open Access 
at https://inscriptions.tankebanen.no/

Outsourced! Mediatisation and revolt
Outsourcing is a way to get someone else to act on our behalf. In 
psycho-analysis the term is also used for instances of exteriorised 
reception, politics, or belief. This issue of Inscriptions considers 
cases when such outsourcing is non-subjectivised, i.e. when there is a 
knowledge "out there," in the Real, but where it is not yet possible to 
say who it is that believes. Tidhar Nir's essay on the experience of 
shock in art explores how the ego can be resituated within such 
knowledges, while Jørgen Veisland proposes a model for how the artistic 
imagination shields itself from, and yet incorporates, knowledges "in 
the Real." This "Real" is very much present in the work of our editor 
Sharif Abdunnur, who explains what it is like to teach in the context of 
an ongoing revolt in Lebanon. We also present a series of paste-ups and 
murals by the street artist AFK that bring up complex debates while also 
giving us a glimpse into the holy.
