 Contemporary debate on cosmopolitanism routinely refers to Immanuel Kant as its intellectual origin.

The Limits Of Fabrication - Materials Science, Materialist Poetics

de Nathan Brown

45,05€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Poetry, or poisis, has long been understood as a practice of making. But how are experiments in the making of poetic forms related to formal making in science and engineering? The Limits of Fabrication takes up this question in the context of recent developments in nanoscale materials science, investigating concepts and ideologies of form at stake in new approaches to material construction. Tracing the direct pertinence of fields crucial to the new materials science (nanotechnology, biotechnology, crystallography, and geodesic design) in the work of Shanxing Wang, Caroline Bergvall, Christian Bök, and Ronald Johnson back to the midcentury development of Charles Olsons objectist poetics, Nathan Brown carves out a tradition of constructivist, nonorganic poetics that has developed in conversation with science and engineering. While proposing a new approach to the relation of techn (craft, skill) and poisis (making, forming), this book also intervenes in philosophical debates concerning the concept of the object, the distinction between organic and inorganic matter, theories of self-organization, and the relation between design and nature. Engaging with Heidegger, Agamben, Whitehead, Stiegler, and Nancy, Brown shows that materials science and materialist poetics offer crucial resources for thinking through the direction of contemporary materialist philosophy.

Defective Institutions - A Protocol For The Republic

de Jacques Lezra

~~31,79€~~ 28,61€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Defective Institutions overturns the basis of institutionalism. Faith in classic institutionsexposed as clamorously inadequate by the failure of governance under neoliberalism--does not result in greater democracy, greater horizontality, or more equitable living. Nor does trust in the standing of decisions, in the authority of antecedent cases, in the coherence, strength, continuity, or solidity of the institutions that frame and render legitimate these decisions and the rules they buttress. To the contrary: the classically-imagined institution and our faith in it lie at the heart of neoliberal unfreedom and racialized violence. Working at the point of contact and conflict between socialist and anarcho-philosophical traditions, Defective Institutions offers an alternative, which is also an alternative to the figures of governance associated with the liberal conception of the state: an aberrant republicanism comprised of defective institutions, run through with the necessity of their abolition. Lezras book moves from the primitive scenes of Western political institutionthe city; the family; the university; the first person; racethrough recent work in the philosophy of translation, decolonial studies, abolitionism, Afropessimism and its critiques, psvchoanalysis, and musicology. To offer an original wedding of abolition and institution, Lezra brings together genealogies of contemporary institutionalism (from Durkheim and Hauriou to Searle); post-Marxist accounts of the state (Balibar, Abensour); philosophical and anthropological anarchism (Wolff, Malabou, Graeber, Scott); critical legal theory (analyses of Marbury v. Madison as well as Dobbs v. Jackson); continental and analytic versions and critiques of foundationalism (Heidegger, Lyotard and Butler; Quine, Searle and Fine); and political and sociological abolitionism (Lewis, OBrien). At a time when some call for strengthening institutions and for defending liberties ostensibly protected by such institutions, and others long for the destruction of institutions that have long been oppressive, Lezras book offers todays Left a new framework for confronting institutions necessity and their necessary abolition.

The Philology Of Life - Walter Benjamin'S Critical Program

de Kevin Mclaughlin

31,79€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The Philology of Life retraces the outlines of the philological project developed by Walter Benjamin in his early essays on Hölderlin, the Romantics, and Goethe. This philological program, McLaughlin shows, provides the methodological key to Benjamins work as a whole. According to Benjamin, German literary history in the period roughly following the first World War was part of a wider crisis of historical experiencea life crisis to which Lebensphilosophie (philosophy of life) had instructively but insufficiently responded. Benjamins literary critical struggle during these years consisted in developing a philology of literary historical experience and of life that is rooted in an encounter with a written image. The fundamental importance of this philological method in Benjamins work seems not to have been recognized by his contemporary readers, including Theodor Adorno who considered the approach to be lacking in dialectical rigor. This facet of Benjamins work was also elided in the postwar publications of his writings, both in German and English. In recent decades, the publication of a wider range of Benjamins writings has made it possible to retrace the outlines of a distinctive philological project that starts to develop in his early literary criticism and that extends into the late studies of Baudelaire and Paris. By bringing this innovative method to light this study proposes the philology of life as the key to the critical program of one of the most influential intellectual figures in the humanities.

Let Them Rot - Antigones Parallax

de Alenka Zupani

18,54€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 A provocative, highly accessible journey to the heart of Sophocles Antigone elucidating why it keeps resurfacing as a central text of Western thought and Western culture. There is probably no classical text that has inspired more interpretation, critical attention, and creative response than Sophocles Antigone. The general perspective from which the book is written could be summarized with this simple question: What is it about the figure of Antigone that keeps haunting us? Why do all these readings and rewritings keep emerging? To what kind of always contemporary contradiction does the need, the urge to reread and reimagine Antigonein all kinds of contexts and languagescorrespond? As key anchor points of this general interrogation, three particular obsessions have driven the authors thinking and writing about Antigone. First is the issue of violence. The violence in Antigone is the opposite of graphic as we have come to know it in movies and in the media; rather, it is sharp and piercing, it goes straight to the bone. It is the violence of language, the violence of principles, the violence of desire, the violence of subjectivity. Then there is the issue of funerary rites and their role in appeasing the specific undeadness that seems to be the other side of human life, its irreducible undercurrent that death alone cannot end and put to rest. This issue prompted the author to look at the relationship between language, sexuality, death, and second death. The third issue, which constitutes the focal point of the book, is Antigones statement that if it were her children or husband lying unburied out there, she would let them rot and not take it upon herself to defy the decree of the state. The author asks, how does this exclusivist, singularizing claim (she would do it only for Polyneices), which she uses to describe the unwritten law she follows, tally with Antigones universal appeal and compelling power? Attempting to answer this leads to the question of what this particular (Oedipal) familys misfortune, of which Antigone chooses to be the guardian, shares with the general condition of humanity. Which in turn forces us to confront the seemingly self-evident question: What is incest? Let Them Rot is Alenka Zupanis absorbing and succinct guided tour of the philosophical and psychoanalytic issues arising from the Theban trilogy. Her original and surprising intervention into the broad and prominent field of study related to Sophocles Antigone illuminates the classical texts ongoing relevance and invites a wide readership to become captivated by its themes.

In The Beginning Was The State - Divine Violence In The Hebrew Bible

de Adi M. Ophir

35,76€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This book explores Gods use of violence as depicted in the Hebrew Bible. Focusing on the Pentateuch, it reads biblical narratives and codes of law as documenting formations of theopolitical imagination. Ophir deciphers the logic of divine rule that these documents betray, with a special attention to the place of violence within it. The book draws from contemporary biblical scholarship, while also engaging critically with contemporary political theory and political theology, including the work of Walter Benjamin, Giorgio Agamben, Jan Assmann, Regina Schwartz, and Michael Walzer. Ophir focuses on three distinct theocratic formations: the rule of disaster, where catastrophes are used as means of governance; the biopolitical rule of the holy, where divine violence is spatially demarcated and personally targeted; and the rule of law where divine violence is vividly remembered and its return is projected, anticipated, and yet postponed, creating a prolonged lull for the texts present. Different as these formations are, Ophir shows how they share an urform that anticipates the main outlines of the modern European state, which has monopolized the entire globe. A critique of the modern state, the book argues, must begin in revisiting the deification of the state, unpacking its mostly repressed theological dimension.
