Subject Matter - The Anaesthetics Of Habit And The Logic Of Breakdown

de Aron Vinegar

~~79,50€~~ 71,55€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 A theorization of habit that emphasizes its excessive and unsettling qualities rather than its mediating, adaptive, and stabilizing functions.Subject Matter offers a bold counterpoint to prevalent conceptions of habit characterized by bodily fluidity and ease, as the stabilizing foundation of an emerging subjectivity, or, more negatively, as a numbing and deadening force. Instead of facilitating the coordination of action with goal and self with environment, habit appears here as a disruptively recursive operation with extreme ontological implications that are often more quotidian than exceptional. Vinegar theorizes habit''s more perturbing aspects, from repetition compulsion to kenosis to breakdown, through an encounter between Hegel''s philosophy (of habit), psychoanalytic dimensions of repetition, Tom McCarthy''s novel Remainder, and Omer Fast''s feature-length film interpretation of the novel.Vinegar starts with the premise that habit is an "unhappy mediator," a disturbance of the very medium and milieu that is constitutive of the subject. Subject Matter pays close attention to those aspects of habit that are usually considered deviations from, or potential threats to, habit proper and that generate a logic of breakdown: automaticity, mechanization, thingness, inertia, and fixity. By plotting a topology of habit''s unbearability through detailed accounts of its manifestation in writing, art, aesthetics, and visuality—and through an attentiveness to the unbalanced nonrelations between mediation and immediacy, being and having, fixity and fluidity, vanishing and overflowing, abbreviation and excess, beginning and ending—Vinegar exposes habit''s failure to mediate and inhabit. In doing so, he offers new and counterintuitive insights into how habit generates the unruly grounds it is supposed to settle, thus allowing us to ask how we might break down differently.

Liquidation World - On The Art Of Living Absently

de Alexi Kukuljevic

79,50€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 An examination of the disoriented subject of modernity: a dissolute figure who makes an makes an object of its absence; from Baudelaire to Broodthaers.In Liquidation World, Alexi Kukuljevic examines a distinctive form of subjectivity animating the avant-garde: that of the darkly humorous and utterly disoriented subject of modernity, a dissolute figure that makes an art of its own vacancy, an object of its absence. Shorn of the truly rotten illusion that the world is a fulfilling and meaningful place, these subjects identify themselves by a paradoxical disidentification—through the objects that take their places. They have mastered the art of living absently, of making something with nothing. Traversing their own morbid obsessions, they substitute the nonsensical for sense, the ridiculous for the meaningful.Kukuljevic analyzes a series of artistic practices that illuminate this subjectivity, ranging from Marcel Duchamp''s Three Standard Stoppages to Charles Baudelaire''s melancholia. He considers the paradox of Duchamp''s apparatus in the Stoppages and the strange comedy of Marcel Broodthaers''s relation to the readymade; the comic subject in Jacques Vaché and the ridiculous subject in Alfred Jarry; the nihilist in Paul Valéry''s Monsieur Teste; Oswald Wiener''s interpretation of the dandy; and Charles Baudelaire as a happy melancholic. Along the way, he also touches on the work of Thomas Bernhard, Andy Kaufman, Buster Keaton, and others. Finally, he offers an extended analysis of Danny''s escape from his demented father in Stanley Kubrick''s The Shining. Each of these subjects is, in Freud''s terms, sick—sick in the specific sense that they assume the absence of meaning and the liquidation of value in the world. They concern themselves with art, without assuming its value or meaning. Utterly debased, fundamentally disoriented, they take the void as their medium.

Not-Two - Logic And God In Lacan

de Lorenzo Chiesa

106,00€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 A philosophical examination of the treatment of logic and God in Lacan''s later psychoanalytic theory.In The Not-Two, Lorenzo Chiesa examines the treatment of logic and God in Lacan''s later work. Chiesa draws for the most part from Lacan''s Seminars of the early 1970s, as they revolve around the axiom "There is no sexual relationship." Chiesa provides both a close reading of Lacan''s effort to formalize sexual difference as incompleteness and an assessment of its broader implications for philosophical realism and materialism.Chiesa argues that "There is no sexual relationship" is for Lacan empirically and historically circumscribed by psychoanalysis, yet self-evident in our everyday lives. Lacan believed that we have sex because we love, and that love is a desire to be One in face of the absence of the sexual relationship. Love presupposes a real "not-two." The not-two condenses the idea that our love and sex lives are dictated by the impossibility of fusing man''s contradictory being with the heteros of woman as a fundamentally uncountable Other. Sexual liaisons are sustained by a transcendental logic, the so-called phallic function that attempts to overcome this impossibility. Chiesa also focuses on Lacan''s critical dialogue with modern science and formal logic, as well as his dismantling of sexuality as considered by mainstream biological discourse. Developing a new logic of sexuation based on incompleteness requires the relinquishing of any alleged logos of life and any teleological evolution.For Lacan, the truth of incompleteness as approached psychoanalytically through sexuality would allow us to go further in debunking traditional onto-theology and replace it with a "para-ontology" yet to be developed. Given the truth of incompleteness, Chiesa asks, can we think such a truth in itself without turning incompleteness into another truth about truth, that is, into yet another figure of God as absolute being?

Subjectivity And Otherness - A Philosophical Reading Of Lacan

de Lorenzo Chiesa

106,00€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The evolution of the concept of subjectivity in the works of Jacques Lacan.Countering the call by some "pro-Lacanians" for an end to the exegesis of Lacan''s work—and the dismissal by "anti-Lacanians" of Lacan as impossibly impenetrable—Subjectivity and Otherness argues for Lacan as a "paradoxically systematic" thinker, and for the necessity of a close analysis of his texts. Lorenzo Chiesa examines, from a philosophical perspective, the evolution of the concept of subjectivity in Lacan''s work, carrying out a detailed reading of the Lacanian subject in its necessary relation to otherness according to Lacan''s orders of the Imaginary, the Symbolic, and the Real. Chiesa emphasizes the continuity underlying apparently incompatible phases of Lacan''s examination of the subject, describing Lacan''s theory as a consistent philosophical system—but one that is constantly revised and therefore problematic. Chiesa analyzes each "old" theory of the subject within the framework of a "new" elaboration and reassesses its fundamental tenets from the perspective of a general psychoanalytic discourse that becomes increasingly complex. From the 1960s on, writes Chiesa, the Lacanian subject amounts to an irreducible lack that must be actively confronted and assumed; this "subjectivized lack," Chiesa argues further, offers an escape from the contemporary impasse between the "death of the subject" alleged by postmodernism and a return to a traditional "substantialist" notion of the subject. An original treatment of psychoanalytic issues, Subjectivity and Otherness fills a significant gap in the existing literature on Lacan, taking seriously the need for a philosophical investigation of Lacanian concepts.
