OUT NOW
In One Hundred and Fifty Years of Tragedy: Nietzsche, Art, Philosophy, leading scholars explore the tangled, often contradictory paths of Nietzsche’s influence: the poets he scorned, the radicals who claimed him, the scholars who tried (and failed) to pin him down. From Australian modernism to French poststructuralism, from political battlegrounds to the shifting tensions between art and philosophy, this collection of essays captures Nietzsche’s restless afterlife — revealing how, more than 150 years after the publication of his first book, The Birth of Tragedy Out of the Spirit of Music, Nietzsche’s thought still provokes, unsettles, and refuses to be tamed.

AVAILABLE FOR PREORDER
As the French New Wave has gradually morphed from a transformative movement in cinematic production to a marketable piece of sixties nostalgia, the world of French cinema that emerged in the new wave’s aftermath warrants renewed attention. Through readings of individual post-new wave films, Far From the Masters seeks to reawaken this world of cinematic experimentation without mastery, and to imagine the new collectives it can give rise to.
Preorders are now available via index-press.com
