Yve Lomax: Sounding the Event. Escapades in Dialogue and Matters of Art, Nature and Time (2005)
Filed under book | Tags: · art, event, nature, philosophy, time
“What constitutes an event? Propelled by this question, Sounding the Event encounters a variety of theories and a host of issues that have implications for not only conceptions of nature and becoming, subject and substance but also practices of time, art and photography. This book explores dialogue in its writing and as it encounters the philosophical utterances of Michel Serres, Isabelle Stengers, Alfred North Whitehead, Jean-Francois Lyotard, Maurice Blanchot, Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, and Alain Badiou.”

Raul Espejo (ed.): Kybernetes. The International Journal of Systems & Cybernetics: Tribute to Stafford Beer (2004)
Filed under journal | Tags: · cybernetics
This special double issue is a tribute, in memoriam, to Stafford Beer, patron of this journal, President of the World Organisation of Systems and Cybernetics (WOSC) and one of the leading cyberneticians and systemists of his generation. He was not only a great academic and thinker but a man of wide ranging interests and activities that are well-known to his friends and colleagues, but not necessarily to a wider audience. This issue, therefore, reflects in its tributes to him, his unique contributions not only in academia but also to society at large.
Many of the contributions included in this commemorative issue were based on presentations given at the event to celebrate his life held at the London School of Economics (UK) in March 2003 (Celebration of Stafford Beer’s Life and Work, 2003).
