In Blade Runner 1982 the distinction between being-in-itself and being-for-itself is problematized and ambiguated through the enigmatic and ambivalent phenomena of the Replicant, which lies somewhere between the category of man and machine, or subject and object, especially with the development of the Nexus-Six prototype with its capacity to develop more advanced emotional responses than previous generations of replicants. They also provide us with insights into little-examined aspects of the events, like the complicated fault lines in a hospital, as told by Eric Hazan in his account of what occurred at the hospital where he was a cardiac surgeon, and in a major research institute in Catherine Lévy s discussion of May at the prestigious CNRS, where she was a sociologist.
The house is filled with countless rooms and chambers, each holding its own secrets and wonders. One of the most captivating aspects of the House of Witchcraft and Wands is its vast collection of wands. These wands are believed to possess unique powers and are carefully crafted by skilled artisans.

They are programmed by the Tyrell Corporation to ‘be more human than human’(Scott, 1982) as they possess a sentience sufficiently advanced and sophisticated for them to attain a poignant awareness of the circumscribed limits that bind them to a constricted mode of being. This takes the form of secondary and subjugated conditions as slaves to human beings as they perform menial and unpleasant tasks such as mining and prostitution in off-world colonies; as well as four-year mortalities which terminate them at the precise point at which they acquire sufficient experience to develop emotional faculties no different from those of human beings.

Digital art challenges archiving, collecting and preserving methods within and outside of gallery, library, archive and museum (GLAM) institutions. By its media, art in the digital sphere is processual, contextual, modular and ephemeral, and its creative process is collaborative. From artists, scholars, technicians and conservators – to preserve this contemporary art is a transdisciplinary task. This book brings together leading international experts from digital art theory and preservation, digital humanities, collection management, conservation and media art histories. In a transdisciplinary approach, theoretic and practice-based research from these stakeholders in art, research, education and exhibition are presented to create an overview of present preservation methods and discuss demands and opportunities for the future. Finally, the need for a new appropriate museum and archive infrastructure is shown to preserve the art of our time.

The interviews that follow were done for the book May Made Me, published in the UK by Pluto Press and the US and Canada by AK Press, but had to be omitted for space reasons. This in no way diminishes their interest or the importance of the points they raise about the possibilities of revolutionary activity in the West. They also provide us with insights into little-examined aspects of the events, like the complicated fault lines in a hospital, as told by Eric Hazan in his account of what occurred at the hospital where he was a cardiac surgeon, and in a major research institute in Catherine Lévy's discussion of May at the prestigious CNRS, where she was a sociologist. The interviews with Rémi Drouet and Colette Danappe return us to the central question of May: the role of the working-class in the events. The French Communist Party (PCF) is held responsible by many on the student and intellectual left for acting as a brake on events (for a fuller discussion of this see the introduction to May Made Me or the earlier version of it, " May '68 Revisited, " in the October 2016 issue of the online review Insurgent Notes). This is based on the assumption that the workers, massively out on a general strike from mid-May, were ripe for revolution but were blocked by the reformist PCF. But the accounts of the workers in May Made Me, as well as those of Drouet and Danappe here, show that for most workers the strike was embarked upon as a way of improving wages, working conditions, and labor relations, and not to overthrow the capitalist system. Colette's horror of the political is significant in this regard. Rémi's tales of the ways in which working-class solidarity was not universal must also be taken into account in any analysis of May. Eric Hazan's characterization of the actions of the PCF as " treason " might thus require reconsideration. Perhaps they betrayed a certain notion of Marxist theory, but perhaps the PCF truly did know the capacities of the French working class. I hope these two collections will lead to reflection and discussion on these matters. It was my intention when I set out on this book to give voice to those not usually heard. It is a common complaint about books on May '68 in English and particularly in French that they focus primarily – if not solely – on Paris and the students and leaders there. With the exception of Alain Krivine and, to a lesser extent, Jean-Jacques Lebel, the men and women of all age groups around France I interviewed had never spoken about their experience. They were the rank and file militants who actually made the events and, in many cases, were made by them. If the legacy of May is open to debate; if its aims and successes are not always clear, what is clear is that few who lived through them came out of them the same way they went in, that a world where people actually discuss issues instead of celebrity gossip is possible since it once happened. How and if this can be generalized and extended in time is a question that remains unanswered a half-century on. Fifty years after the events, the time is ripe to see May in all its facets.
