1. Turia + Kant Speculative Materialism
Few thinkers have experienced more contradictory interpretations than Baruch de Spinoza. At times he was regarded as an atheist and rationalist, at other times as a pantheist and vitalist, and sometimes as a Jewish critic of religion and heir to Marranism. However, in the 20th and 21st centuries, Spinoza is favored as a materialist who teaches Marxism a lesson in non-dogmatic thinking and non-teleological dialectics. Starting from Althusser's interest in the concept of immanent causality, Katja Diefenbach reconstructs the post-Marxist Spinoza readings from Negri to Balibar. The unconventionality of Spinoza's philosophy is presented, discussing the self-formation of matter, the affective production of thought, the self-governance of the multitude, and the heterogenesis of being. How could these anachronistic doctrines of the 17th century serve to address the problematic concepts of Marxism and its entirety?.
2. Turia + Kant Zumbi
In his historical portrait "Zumbi," Joel Rufino dos Santos traces the unique story of the leader of Quilombo Palmares, a settlement founded around the year 1600 by escaped African slaves. For nearly 100 years, it resisted the Brazilian slaveholding society and presented a radically different vision of society. "Can another society be imagined where skin color, gender, and social status do not create privileges? Perhaps Palmares represents this: a dream envisioned for 100 years, with green palms, in a majestic blue mountain range. The embryo of a country that belongs to everyone. What could have been, but has not yet come to pass." "Zumbi," as the last leader of Palmares chose to call himself instead of his slave name Francisco, remains an iconic figure of black resistance in Brazil to this day. Through him, Dos Santos reads the history of slavery against the grain, a narrative and interpretation that were almost exclusively reserved for white slave owners. His analysis of the social and economic structures of the colonial period vividly illustrates the continuities of this brutal and racist system into present-day Brazil.
3. Turia + Kant Gilles Deleuze, Félix Guattari
François Dosse traces the lives and works of the two authors Gilles Deleuze (1925-1995) and Félix Guattari (1930-1992). Their paths are closely intertwined: Deleuze and Guattari co-authored philosophical and psychoanalytical books over a span of more than 20 years, whose influence on intellectual history is now undisputed. They managed to combine a creative way of thinking with a new style. Dosse's book presents not a single biography, but a multitude of biographies, as the lives, theoretical, and political practices of both are treated in parallel, allowing a third, doubly stretched line of intellectual engagement to emerge. In this way, the author succeeds in providing a material-rich depiction of that era in France, spanning from the early 1930s through May 68 to the upheavals of the late 1980s.
4. Turia + Kant From one other to another
The seminar is entirely overshadowed by May '68. However, Lacan resists any glorification. As long as the students still believe in the liberating power of knowledge, they do not question the authority of the teachers but rather reproduce the existing structures. In the process of psychoanalysis, it can be shown that for its success, it must dismantle the inevitable initial fiction of a subject presumed to know. Lacan distinguishes himself from both philosophy and science. The former indulges in an unreflective humanism and subjectivism, while the latter objectifies the conditions of the world and reduces the subject to the function of the observer. However, it is essential to read the implication of the subject in every objectification. In the confrontation with Pascal's wager, the wager on an infinite life, it is not only about belief in the existence of God but also about the entire Jewish and Christian tradition that continues to resonate in psychoanalysis – not the God of philosophers, but the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is at stake here. Marx's analysis of surplus value is not only applied to the production and distribution of knowledge; it also serves as a model for defining enjoyment and surplus enjoyment, with which Lacan transforms Freud's pleasure principle. Last but not least, this seminar lays the groundwork for the famous theory of the four discourses developed in the following year.
5. Turia + Kant Entwicklungsziele der Psychoanalyse
In this text, Sigmund Freud's companions Otto Rank and Sándor Ferenczi articulated a discussion of principles, in other words, a break with the "father" of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud.
6. Turia + Kant Die Psychosen
Psychosis is one of three clinical structures. The others are neurosis and perversion. Psychosis is distinctly different from both through the mechanism of rejection, while neurosis is characterized by compulsion and perversion by denial. Through the rejection of an "original signifier," the psychotic loses control over language. Here, Lacan develops his theory of language, which includes the concepts of metonymy and metaphor, as well as the theory of stepping points, the special signifiers at which, under normal circumstances, language and things, signifiers and signifieds are linked, so that the psychotic sliding can be halted.

7. Turia + Kant Can the Subaltern Speak?
Spivak's essay "Can the Subaltern Speak?" is considered one of the key texts in postcolonial theory. Building on the work of the Indian Subaltern Studies group and critically engaging with post-structuralist theoretical frameworks, it centrally addresses the question of the impossibility and possibility of giving voice to those excluded from every discourse. This volume includes a translation of the original version of Spivak's essay, an interview with the author discussing the history of the debate, a postscript to the second version of the text published in 1999, and an introduction by Hito Steyerl.

9. Turia + Kant Institutional critique as a method
Institutional critique criticizes art institutions with artistic means itself. First at art institutions in the narrower sense - i.e. museums and galleries - and later, in a broader sense, at an institutional framework, at the entire artistic field with all participating actors. In his comprehensive genealogy of institutional critique, Sønke Gau examines the potential of these artistic processes and asks about their updating under today's conditions. Institutional critique as a method is no longer limited to the artistic field, but extends to other social fields in order to gain an expanded spectrum of options for action.
10. Turia + Kant Kosmopolitismus und Rassismus
How can it be that Immanuel Kant, the philosopher of the European Enlightenment, fundamentally insists on the intrinsic value of humanity and human dignity while simultaneously engaging with a theory of races? How does this align with his idea of a history with cosmopolitan intent, which aims to interpret the cultural development of humanity as a continuous progress: from its primitive beginnings to the realization of freedom in a cosmopolitan culture?.
