South as a State of Mind Issue 9 Fall/winter 2017 : Documenta 14 #4 2017 / Editors: Quinn Latimer, Adam Szymczyk

What might counter this culture of violence both in spirit and in action? What apposite force? What to generate in the face of it? Our question remains; yet in considering it anew, we realize that this is the query that has guided our editorial vision of the documenta 14 journal, and its four special issues of South, forward. Under the dark star of this question—what might we offer, and what forms might these offerings take?—this issue’s working theme is “violence and offering.” Quinn Latimer, Adam Szymczyk, Rosa Luxemburg’s Prison Letters and Gender Violence, Sean O’Toole, John Miller’s Photographs by Cassandra Barnett and Jon Bywater, with an introduction by Marina Fokidis, Yael Davids, Lorenza Böttner, Paul B.
