La lògica de la col·lecció i altres assaigs

Written between the 1990s and the present day, Boris Groys's essays on the entropic logic of culture, art and the museum, on the collection, the politics of the avant-garde and the media character of man and reality -media theory is the ideology of our time- are brilliant exercises in intellectual fencing. They combine theoretical rigor and an understanding and elegant style with a wit that the author subtly manages. Groys measures his strengths with the toughest opponent for an essayist: his own present. Almost all essays begin by revering established ideas, but end each bout leaving the reader touched enough to continue to reflect on it, to wish to think things differently.
