Spectacle
Fall 2014
Are we living in a time when capitalism holds total sway over art production? Is the spectacle synonymous with alienation of the individual? Are there any positive aspects to this spectacularization of culture to compensate? The next issue of esse examines new forms of the spectacle by observing its different manifestations on today’s society, and particularly in the contemporary art field, in which the appeal of the spectacular is increasingly unrelenting.

Agriculture
Winter 2024
Breaking sedimented divisions between rural and urban, this issue centres agricultural imaginaries and human-soil relations that challenge us to rethink our understanding of agriculture, its relation to histories of colonization, and the futures of agroecology, as well as our connection to land itself.
