Trust
Building on Cultural Commons
2024 || Paperback || Pascal Gielen || Valiz
How can we break through a culture of mistrust? Suspicion regarding our fellow beings, the authorities and enterprises is growing, blamed on passing the buck and feelings of impotence. We seek remedies in regulations, contracts and procedures, assurances, audits and consultancy. As well as in good governance and transparency. But do they actually make for real trust?

Society and the Aesthetics of Ambiguity
2020 || Paperback || Nav Haq e.a. || Valiz

Nearness
Art and Education After Covid-19
2020 || Paperback || Marlies De Munck e.a. || Valiz
The Covid-19 crisis teaches us how priceless human nearness is. Art and education can't do without it either. Like works of art, people lose their aura when kept at digital arm's length. Art is lifeless when it can't resonate with bodies. In Nearness, Marlies De Munck and Pascal Gielen diagnose a new reality. Only culture marks the difference between surviving and living.
Nearness is also available in Dutch as a separate publication with the title Nabijheid.

Dit boek doet een poging om te beschrijven hoe de artistieke verbeelding nieuwe situaties kan voortbrengen, op basis van zowel het potentieel als de beperkingen van het individuele 'lichaam' in zijn omgeving Het eerste deel, Ecosophy, gaat over de eco-kunstpraktijk...

Commonism A New Aesthetics of the Real
A New Aesthetics of the Real
2018 || Paperback || Nico Dockx e.a. || Valiz
After half a century of neoliberalism, a new radical, practice-based ideology is making its way from the margins: commonism, with an o in the middle. It is based on the values of sharing, common (intellectual) ownership and new social cooperations. Commoners assert that social relationships can replace money (contract) relationships. They advocate solidarity and they trust in peer-to-peer relationships to develop new ways of production.
Commonism maps those new ideological thoughts. How do t...
