Launch Celebration
6–8 pm, Friday 9 January 2026
Unit 4/9 Wilson Ave, Brunswick
Enter via the alley off Black St

We delighted to invite you to the launch of One Hundred and Fifty Years of Tragedy: Nietzsche, Art, Philosophy, edited by Vincent Lê and Paris Lettau and featuring essays by Justin Clemens, Caitlyn Lesiuk, Vanessa Lemm, Keith Ansell-Pearson, Rex Butler, Ian McLean, and Jason Barker.

This new collection of essays follows the tangled, often contradictory paths of Nietzsche’s influence, from Australian modernism to French poststructuralism, from political battlegrounds to the shifting tensions between art and philosophy, capturing Nietzsche’s restless afterlife more than 150 years after The Birth of Tragedy Out of the Spirit of Music.

“What makes this collection of essays so compelling is that it takes appearances seriously. Nietzsche’s thought, his legacy, and the various appropriations of his work appear riddled with contradictions — and indeed, they are. … In this sense, this is a genuinely Nietzschean book.” — Alenka Zupančič, author of The Shortest Shadow: Nietzsche’s Philosophy of the Two.
