Nora Turato: govern me harder
The third title in the Clarion series features Amsterdam-based artist Nora Turato and her vibrant enamel panels that magnify the omnipresence of text, design, and speech in our contemporary culture. ---------- "Meticulous as Helen and tricky as Odysseus, the artist invites us first to misread the slick surfaces and humor of her works as effortless, then forces us to attend to the laborious practices they belie, the histories and possibilities of that effort." - Art in America ---------- Originally trained as a graphic designer, Nora Turato adapts text to subvert and create messages.Although many of Turato's performances and works appear to be drafted by free association, she meticulously and thoughtfully edits them to evoke a sense of alluring confusion.In three signature murals with a bespoke typeface, Turato addresses the inundation of language, typography, and graphic design in our contemporary culture, whether in the news, on social media, or in advertisements. Published on the occasion of Turato's widely popular exhibition govern me harder at 52 Walker, this publication features texts by Ebony L.Haynes and Anna Kats. Serving as an extension of the exhibition, performance scripts by the artist are also included in this publication.As described in The Brooklyn Rail, "In the slick sea of graphic smoothness and language lost from meaning, something has still been irrefutably made."

Democracy in Our America : Can We Still Govern Ourselves?
One of America’s most distinguished political theorists examines what happens when national politics enters a small New England town After the election of 2016 and, even more urgently, after the election of 2020, many citizens looked at the economic and cultural divisions that were causing deep disruptions in American politics and asked, “What is happening to us?” Paul W.Kahn explores these fundamental changes as they show themselves in a small New England town—his home of twenty-five years, Killingworth, Connecticut.His inquiry grounds a democratic theory that puts volunteering, not voting, at its center.Absent active participation, citizens lose the capacity for judgment that comes from working with others to solve real problems.Volunteering, however, is under existential threat today.Changes in civil society, commerce, employment, and public opinion formation have isolated families from each other and from their communities.Even middle-class families live under financial stress, uncertain of their children’s future, and without the support of civil society.Local media has disappeared. Residents do not have the time, information, or interest to volunteer.Under these conditions, national polarization enters local politics, which becomes yet another site for national conflict.To save our democracy, Kahn concludes, we need to find ways of matching opportunities for participation to the ways we live our lives today.

Can Common People Govern? : Political Parties, Movements, and Uprisings
In Can Common People Govern?, the renowned French social theorist, philosopher, and historian Jacques Bidet offers a theoretical and political exploration of political parties, movements, and uprisings as forms of popular political organization.He highlights the contradictions of the party-form and the movement-form through a critical analysis of Lenin, Xi Jinping, Gramsci, Althusser, and the theorists of left-wing populism, Laclau and Mouffe.Popular political organization, he argues, must be related to the structure of modern society, in which the popular class is opposed in a “triangular duel” against a dominant class that includes two poles in conflictual connivance, “capitalpower” and “competence-power” (or “elite”).This duality offers the common people an angle of attack for a risky alliance with this elite against capital.This class confrontation is put in the context of the ongoing ecological disaster and popular uprisings.In the age of disaster, environmentalism and social emancipation must be conceived as one and the same thing. Can Common People Govern? is relevant to students of Marxism as well as wider readership interested in political thought and action.

To Govern Is to Serve : An Essay on Medieval Democracy
To Govern Is to Serve explores the practices of collective governance in medieval religious orders that turned the precepts of the Gospels—most notably that "the first will be last, the last will be first"—into practices of communal deliberation and the election of superiors.Jacques Dalarun argues that these democratic forms have profoundly influenced modern experiences of democracy, in particular the idea of government not as domination but as service.Dalarun undertakes meticulous textual analysis and historical research into twelfth and thirteenth-century religious movements—from Fontevraud and the Paraclete of Abelard and Heloise through St.Dominic and St. Francis—that sought their superiors from among the less exalted members of their communities to chart how these experiments prefigured certain aspects of modern democracies, those allowing individuals to find their way forward as part of a collective.Wide ranging and deeply original,To Govern Is to Serve highlights the history of the reciprocal bonds of service and humility that underpin increasingly fragile democracies in the twenty-first century.

Which party should govern?
As an AI, I do not have personal opinions or biases. The decision of which party should govern is ultimately up to the voters and the democratic process in each country. It is important for voters to carefully consider the policies, values, and track record of each party before making an informed decision on which party they believe is best suited to govern. Ultimately, the party that is able to effectively address the needs and concerns of the people and govern in a fair and transparent manner should be chosen to lead.

Who should govern you?
The question of who should govern is a complex one, and the answer may vary depending on individual beliefs and values. In a democratic society, the people should have a say in who governs them through free and fair elections. It is important for leaders to be accountable to the people they govern and to act in the best interest of the public. Ultimately, the ideal governing body should be one that is representative of the diverse voices and needs of the population, and that works towards creating a just and equitable society for all.

Will the AfD ever govern?
It is difficult to predict the future of any political party, but the AfD's chances of governing in the near future seem unlikely. The party has faced internal divisions and controversies, which have hindered its ability to gain widespread support. Additionally, the AfD's far-right ideology has made it a polarizing force in German politics, making it challenging for them to form coalitions with other mainstream parties. However, political landscapes can change rapidly, so it is not entirely impossible for the AfD to govern at some point in the future.
-
Will CDU and SPD govern?
It is uncertain whether CDU and SPD will govern together in the upcoming election. While they have formed a coalition in the past, recent polls suggest that other parties may have a stronger chance of forming a coalition with one of the major parties. The final outcome will depend on the election results and the willingness of the parties to work together in a coalition government.

Working with Actors : Meisner Technique for Directors and Actors
Working with Actors provides the key to unlocking the honest, dynamic performance every actor has within them.It offers a well-articulated formulation of the Meisner Technique easy for directors and actors to use within a working context. Through setting out an accessible training programme for practitioners working across stage and screen, this book establishes a clear-cut route to building a three-dimensional character in an organic, non-intellectual fashion, based squarely on the character’s objectives. Few books in this field venture out of the training studio, while in this book - alongside offering an intense and concentrated Meisner training programme - the focus is more on the ‘pay-off’: the collaborative act of developing the role and how that plays out in rehearsal and performance. Beyond that, the books uniquely offers:> a new modality for script reading, analysis and rehearsal through which the character is born in relation to other characters;> a prioritisation of the key skills for coming alive in the moment – listening and putting one’s attention wholly on the other character/actor;> a historical perspective on how Meisner’s methods have evolved and why they provide the basis of truthful acting;> for directors, a format for analysis of the complete work based on Stanislavskian principles; > for actors, complementary methods, such as Uta Hagen’s ‘endowment’, to enhance the ‘reality of doing’

Would women govern politically better?
It is not accurate to make a blanket statement about the political abilities of women as a group. The effectiveness of a political leader is not determined by gender, but rather by their individual qualities, skills, and experience. It is important to recognize that both men and women have the potential to be effective political leaders, and that diversity in leadership is valuable for representing the interests of all members of society. Ultimately, the effectiveness of a political leader should be judged based on their actions and decisions, rather than their gender.
