The nominees had worked ahead of the prize committees' decision by founding a collective, that, on their request, were awarded the prize, to be equally distributed between the members of the collective. With this gesture the four artists, who each one of them has a critical and socially oriented artistic practice, wished to oppose the reciprocal competitiveness between the nominees, implied in the mechanics of the prize and the nomination practice in order to "send a strong message about collectivism and solidarity" to a British society historically torn apart by Brexit and a critical election campaign (Prize presenter Edward Enninful at the prize ceremony, BBC December 4, 2019). As Sarah Charalambides writes in her contribution to this issue of Peripeti-journal of dramaturgical studies on "Collective", the question about commons is "not so much what creative practicians may share, but rather how they make connections with others". This is precisely the lesson realized by the Turner Prize artists. As such, the four artists are not a functioning collective, they do not work together and are not committed to a common project but to each of their individual careers. When they, in spite of this, still insist on acting as a collective in relation to the prizing of their work, it is an expression of a new resistance towards the hyper individualization of the art market that highly profiled awards such as the Turner Prize are part of. About a month earlier, the Danish author Jonas Eika also intervened radically in a prestigious prize ceremony, when he gave his now fabled acceptance speech upon the reception of the Nordic Council Literature Prize for the short story collection Efter solen (After the sun, 2018). Doubtless, Eika's speech stirred attention due to its clear political message and opposition to the state racism that Eika identified in the immigration policy of the Nordic countries, and the fact that a number of the responsible politicians, including the Danish prime minister Mette Frederiksen, were stuck in the first row, all dressed up for the formal ceremony and struggling to maintain a dignified face for the cameras. However, in the current context it is foremost the speech's frontal attack of on the implicit premise of the prestigious award that interests us. Like the personal artist interview, a form that increasingly

Virkemidlerne er få i Tue Bierings nyskrevne enmandsforestilling Rocky. Husets Teaters scene fremstår som småsnavset sort boks, hvor Morten Burian er alene med få rekvisitter samt Bierings tekst og instruktion. Alene med sin fascination af Rocky-den oprindelige film fra 1976 med Sylvester Stallone-om taberen der bliver en vinder til slut. Og så alligevel ikke. For faktisk er Burian så langt fra alene. Han har nemlig hele tiden publikum med sig. Foto: Henrik Ohsten Det er imponerende hvor medrivende hans indledende parafrase af Rocky-filmen er-og hvor lynhurtigt han formår at etablere en staerk samhørighed mellem sig selv og os, der sidder i salen. Dels gennem hans smittende begejstring for Rocky, men endnu mere gennem den bekvemme afstand han omgående laegger mellem 'os' og karakteren Rocky. Hans fascination-og vores med ham-lever netop af vores tydelige forskellighed fra Rocky. I forestillingens indledende udlaegning er Rocky således historien om hvordan taberen på samfundets bund, ham som ingen gider at lytte til, fordi han er et stort dumt muskelbundt, der aldrig har åbnet en bog, ham som ingen regner med,

The Nordic Journal of Aesthetics

In some way or other, they all relate to the power structures vested in the aesthetic and its theoretical inheritance. In this contestation of the western canon, recent scholars have questioned basic aesthetic concepts like talent, disinterestedness, transparency, and universalist notions of the human by highlighting how such discourses are built upon and reinforce divisions of a racial and colonial nature. 1 Aesthetic relations, it seems, can no longer be confined to the classical relationship between an object and a subject. Neither can we solve the issue by a simple return to the broad understanding of aesthetics as aisthesis, as a general formula for sense perception, since such a conception still favors the singular experience of an autonomous self. The topic of this special volume of The Nordic Journal of Aesthetics originated from a conference held at the University of Copenhagen in January 2021 hosted by the Art as Forum research center. The aim of the conference was not only to catch a glimpse of the status quo within artistic practices and aesthetic theory, but also to invite proposals for how new conceptualizations of relationality could be formulated in aesthetic, social, political, and historical contexts. Pivotal for the forms of these discussions was the setting they took place in: a worldwide lockdown due to an ongoing Covid-pandemic. While the health crisis exposed several structures of inequality in Denmark and many other places, it also coexisted with-or even revitalized-other significant movements across the globe. In 2020, the assassination of George Floyd led to a new surge of Black Lives Matters uprisings all over the world as well as global revolts against symbols of colonial heritage that assembled humans from near and far, high and low, and gave rise to wideranging debates over the role of aesthetics within social and political infrastructures and hierarchies. The simultaneity of revolts across the globe-from South Africa to Kalaallit Nunaatmade explicit how the lockdown had intensified our already growing dependency on digital infrastructures of communication. While the viral dissemination of slogans of anti-racism

Det er så trist, som det kan være, at netop Elisabeth Friis og Ursula Andkjær Olsen, som i deres redaktionsperiode har gjort så meget for at åbne det 50 år gamle litteraturtidsskrift mod det omkringliggende samfund ved at behandle presserende emner som køn, klima og migration, bliver dem, der slukker lyset på redaktionen for sidste gang. Men i den sørgemarch, som indtog de litterære afk roge af de sociale medier, efter nyheden gik ud, postede den snart forhenværende redaktør Friis på et tidspunkt den svensk-amerikanske arbejderaktivist Joe Hills famous last words: »Don’t mourn – organize« – for sådan kan man heldigvis også reagere på den slags ulykker. Og måske fi ndes den eftertænksomme litterære off entlighed, som med lukningen (igen-igen) er blevet dømt som afdød, stadig.

Abstract
The reception of the American avant-garde poet, playwright, art collector and salon hostess Gertrude Stein (1874-1946) has to a wide extent taken place in an aesthetic context prior to her work’s academic and hermeneutic canonization. This thesis is in part a mapping of this transmedia reception as it is played out in a North American context in the period from her death and until today, and in part an account of Stein’s particular collaborative poetics, through which her work invites such a reception. Furthermore, the thesis maintains that we in a contemporary context are experiencing a still increasing receptivity towards Stein’s oeuvre, that seems more relevant today than ever before.
These circumstances, the thesis illuminates and discusses via a media theoretical framework, where Stein’s own work, as well as its aesthetic reception is considered embedded in a complex media ecology. Media ecology is here conceived as a decentralized, networked approach to aesthetic phenomena, which is able to contain many types of agents and materialities. The media ecology of an artwork is thus potentially made up by the entire network of processes, agents and materials that are relevant to its production, distribution and consumption and influences the subject positions available to the individual agents.
Through Stein’s aesthetic reception it is possible to catch sight of important components that are active in the media ecology but often neglected or considered subordinated to text-internal features. These include the material interface of the medium in question, the aestheticized persona of the artist and infrastructures such as the salon, which affect how and to whom the work and its meaning is distributed. The thesis also traces a number of parallels between the media situation of Stein in the beginning of the 20th century and the digital media situation at the verge of the 21st that suggest both explanations for and implications of her increasing contemporary relevance.
