Юджин Такер

«Неправильно» трактуя произведения в жанре литературы ужаса как философские произведения, Юджин Такер стремится обнаружить в них не просто предел мышления, но такую мысль, которая сама была бы пределом, - мысль как предел, как «странную чарующую бездну в сердцевине самого мышления». С этой целью он обращается к обширному кинематографическому и литературному материалу. К японским и южнокорейским фи...

Our contemporary horror stories are written in a world where there seems little faith, lost hope, and no salvation. All that remains is the fragmentary and occasionally lyrical testimony of the human being struggling to confront its lack of reason for being in the vast cosmos. This is the terrain of the horror genre. Eugene Thacker explores this situation in Tentacles Longer Than Night. Extendi...

The world is increasingly unthinkable, a world of planetary disasters, emerging pandemics, and the looming threat of extinction. In this book Eugene Thacker suggests that we look to the genre of horror as offering a way of thinking about the unthinkable world. To confront this idea is to confront the limit of our ability to understand the world in which we live - a central motif of the horror genr...

Что получится, если предпринять попытку переосмысления известной с Канта границы миром-в-себе и миром-для-нас с точки зрения странного и парадоксального мира-без-нас? Этим вопросом задается американский философ и исследователь медиа, биотехнологий и оккультизма Юджин Такер, именуя мир-в-себе Землей, мир-для-нас - Миром, мир-без-нас - Планетой. Планета как мир-без-нас - подвижная и беспокойная гран...

Could it be that the more we know about the world, the less we understand it? Could it be that, while everything has been explained, nothing has meaning? Extending the ideas presented in his book In The Dust of This Planet, Eugene Thacker explores these and other issues in Starry Speculative Corpse. But instead of using philosophy to define or to explain the horror genre, Thacker reads works o...

In the age of global biotechnology, DNA can exist as biological material in a test tube, as a sequence in a computer database, and as economically valuable information in a patent. In The Global Genome, Eugene Thacker asks us to consider the relationship of these three entities and argues that -- by their existence and their interrelationships -- they are fundamentally redefining the notion of bio...

Always connect—that is the imperative of today’s media. But what about those moments when media cease to function properly, when messages go beyond the sender and receiver to become excluded from the world of communication itself—those messages that state: “There will be no more messages”? In this book, Alexander R. Galloway, Eugene Thacker, and McKenzie Wark turn our usual understanding of media...
