The book series »Studies on the Interaction of Art, Thought and Power« explores how artistic practices and philosophical inquiry intervene in, reconfigure, and transform the relations of power that shape contemporary life. The series approaches power not merely as domination or constraint, but as a force that organizes what can be seen, said, and imagined—structuring the distribution of the sensible and delimiting the conditions of experience. At its core lies the conviction that artistic creation, conceptual reflection, and technical mediation can unsettle established configurations of the sensible and open new modes of perception, relation, and critique. Grounded in a critical ontology of the present, the series offers a transdisciplinary platform that brings philosophy into dialogue with the arts, media theory, cultural studies, and social thought, fostering exchanges between theoretical analysis and creative practice.
The series is guided by three transversal axes:
1) Imagination, aesthetics, and power—how aesthetic forms shape sensibility and political horizons.
2) Affect, embodiment, and the distribution of the sensible—how experience and corporeality become sites of regulation and resistance.
3) Technics, mediation, and contemporary conditions of existence—how media and material infrastructures modulate subjectivity and agency.
