The two essays in this volume follow a long tradition in critical discourse that turns to art’s domain as a source of inspiration, instruction, and as material for the construction of its concepts and the development of its problems. The case study of Suite Grunewald by the artist Gérard Titus-Carmel, returns to a subject that has been eclipsed in past decades by the imperative to remember: the creation of the new as an event, or rather, the event of the new as creation. This is an especially vexing problem following, on the one hand, the massive displacement of the subject as the author and creator of its works and, on the other, the introduction of the influential Deleuzian–Bergsonian notion of the new as immanent continuity rather than a rupture, interruption, and discontinuity. The first essay develops this problematic by working alongside with Titus-Carmel: variations and deconstruction of the original painting of the “Crucifixion” as an exemplary site where the creation of the new finds a living and urgent expression. The second essay stages an encounter and sets free the resonances between the writing of Jean-Luc Nancy on and around the “body” and the cinema of Claire Denis that mobilizes the force of bodies that it itself invents, and to which it gives a unique form of presence.

“Gitanjali” is one of Rabindranath Tagore’s best known works for which he received the Nobel Prize in Literature. Many of the verses in Gitanjali are beautiful prayers written after a gut-wrenchingly painful period in Rabindranath Tagore’s life, during which he lost his father, wife, daughter and a son in quick succession. His unfathomable pain and unshaken devotion to God are captured in the moving prose-verses of Gitanjali, which Tagore dedicated as “Song Offerings”.
