9789078088813: Dread: The Dizziness of Freedom (Antennae)

Synopsis

Dread: The Dizziness of Freedom reflects on possible re-articulations of the concept of dread in our times. Associated with the "dizziness of freedom" by Søren Kierkegaard, and with "the ecstasy of nihilism" by China Miéville, the experience of dread is a defining characteristic of the contemporary human condition, and--according to the contributors to this volume--an essential and potentially productive emotion. However dark and fatalistic its connotations, through its dialectical coupling of caution and transgression, of paralysis and overdrive, dread allows us to imagine the world differently. Through conversations with and essays by some of today's foremost cultural commentators, this book explores the creative agency of dread--an agency that is created by the very forces wishing to suppress or even destroy it--as well as its politics and related conceptions of fear and anxiety.

From the Back Cover

Door voortdurend veranderende technologie en groeiende communicatienetwerken groeien de menselijke keuzes en mogelijkheden. Maar iedere technologische vernieuwing kent ook zijn tegenvoeter: de militaire, administratieve, existentiële crash; de catastrofe ligt op de loer. Virilio:'de vernieuwing van het schip betekende eveneens een nieuwe vorm van schipbreuk'. Die immanente, moeilijk te duiden dreiging roept een gevoel op van 'dread'. 'Dread' is een essentieel en in potentie productief aspect van ons bewustzijn, een bepalend kenmerk van de huidige condition humaine. Nauw verwant aan begrippen als angst en vrees, wordt 'dread' ook geassocieerd met de 'duizeling van de vrijheid' zoals geformuleerd door Søren Kierkegaard in 1844. Hoe duister en fatalistisch de connotaties ook zijn, 'dread' stelt ons door een dialectisch proces van omzichtigheid en transgressie, van verlamming en overdrive in staat om ons de wereld spectaculair anders voor te stellen en toont ons daarmee inzichten in het ondenkbare of onzegbare. Juist het creatieve potentieel van 'dread' is van grote waarde in deze complexe tijd, in gang gezet door dezelfde machten die - in hun gepolitiseerde manifestatie - deze kracht willen onderdrukken of zelfs wegvagen. De auteurs van Dread verkennen de contouren van 'dread' en opperen mogelijke herformuleringen van het begrip voor onze tijd. Juha van 't Zelfde is een Nederlands-Finse DJ, schrijver (voor o.a. de Volkskrant, Volume en MONU) en curator. Hij ontving de De Hallen Haarlem Curatorenwerkbeurs voor zijn tentoonstellingsvoorstel 'Dread: Fear in the Age of Technological Acceleration'. Hij is mede-oprichter van Non-fiction, een bureau voor culturele innovatie. De De Hallen Haarlem Curatorenwerkbeurs wordt financieel ondersteund door de Dr. Marijnus Johannes van Toorn & Louise Scholten Stichting; Frans Hals Museum/De Hallen Haarlem.
