IDEA publishing house was born as a theoretical and practical project at the same time. Committed to publishing texts
as implements of reflection upon the artistic, the social, and the political, the editorial staff started with a clear set of minimum
goals: the translation into Romanian of major texts of contemporary philosophy and recent theory of art. By this,
IDEA aims to insert into the Romanian public debates interrogations which are exemplary for the world we live in. However,
this means more than “importing” certain “ideas”. By promoting a certain type of writing – that in which the language
experimentally but rigorously explores its logical and expressive resources – the publishing house intends to refresh,
by the very gesture of translation or through original texts, the critical (i.e. philosophical) idiom of Romanian. In other words,
to orient our possibilities of thinking toward the criticality of what happens to us today.
Accepting its condition as a small, non-commercial publishing house, IDEA has, since 2001, run two series – Balcon and
Panopticon. Providing important guiding marks for mapping the realm of modern and contemporary arts, the first series
includes such authors as Benjamin, Barthes, de Duve, Flusser, Groys, Babias, Lovink, Lacoue-Labarthe or materials on the
work of artists as Joseph Beuys. For the first time in the Romanian public space, contemporary art theory is brought along
in a coherent and meaningful fashion. In this way, the elucidative and analytical potential of art theory provides a conceptual
toolbox useful to both theorists and artists.
In the second series, by publishing thinkers such as Derrida, Foucault, Deleuze, Lyotard, J.-L. Nancy, G. Granel, Sloterdijk,
Baudrillard, G. M. Tamás, Agamben, Arendt, we would like not only to connect the reader to the “avant-garde” of contemporary
philosophical thought, but also to provide the public with major readings of questions burdening our contemporary
societies: power and the political, the predicaments of representation and historicity, the fall of communism, the crisis of
academia, globalization, (post)modernity, nihilism, etc.
Last, but not least, with its recent series the publishing house has also committed itself to the production of applied critical
discourses, taking as its starting point the present political situations and intellectual contexts – a simultaneously global
and local theoretical endeavour. These new collections, consisting of books still in preparation, will operate under titles
such as Refracflii [Refractions] – dedicated to cultural and socio-political analyses in situ; Praxis – dealing with the exploration
of the concrete strategies of progressive political struggle all over the world; and, finally, Public – covering the various
modalities of artistic-democratic self-production of public space in Romania.
