Instituierende Praxen: Bruchlinien der Institutionskritik
This book presents the main theoretical outcomes of a three-year research project on contemporary practices of institutional critique. It is co-authored by Stefan Nowotny and Gerald Raunig and comprises a collection of both individually written and co-written essays. Tracing historical lines of institutional critique and exploring the conceptual terrains of institution, constitution and destitution (with a view to both politics and art), the authors propose the term ‘instituent practices’ in order to account for an emergent field of contemporary critical practices that operate beyond the dichotomy of an ‘inside’ and an ‘outside’ of institutions.
