Stanley Cavell Literature and Film The Idea of America

Stanley Cavell Literature and Film The Idea of America

This is the first book to offer a thorough examination of the relationship that Stanley Cavell’s celebrated philosophical work has to the ways in which the United States has been imagined and articulated in its literature. Establishing the contours of Cavell’s most significant readings of American philosophical and cultural activity the volume explores how his philosophy and the kind of reading it demands have an important relation to broader considerations of the American national imaginary. Focused coherent and original essays from a wide range of philosophers and critics consider how his investigations of Henry David Thoreau and Ralph Waldo Emerson for example represent a sustained engagement with the ways in which philosophy might provide us with new ways of thinking and of living. This is the first detailed and comprehensive treatment of America as a category of enquiry in Cavell’s writing engaging with the terms of Cavell’s various configurations of the nation and offering readings of American texts that illustrate the possibilities that Cavell’s work has in turn for literary and film criticism. This study of the role played by philosophy in the articulation of the American self-imaginary highlights the ways in which the reading of literature and the practice of philosophy are conjoined in the ethical and political project of national self-definition. | Stanley Cavell Literature and Film The Idea of America

The Social Psychology of Obedience Towards Authority An Empirical Tribute to Stanley Milgram

Socio-Cultural Mobility and Mega-Events Ethics and Aesthetics in Brazil’s 2014 World Cup

Socio-Cultural Mobility and Mega-Events Ethics and Aesthetics in Brazil’s 2014 World Cup

In June 2014 Brazil opened the twentieth FIFA World Cup with a spectacular ceremony. Hosting the World Cup was a strategic developmental priority for Brazil: mega-events such as these allow the country to be ranked amongst the world’s political and economic leaders and are supposed to propel the country to its own unique modernity. But alongside the increased media attention and publicity came accusations of governmental ‘corruption’ and overspending. In Socio-Cultural Mobility and Mega-Events Tzanelli uses Brazil’s 2014 World Cup to explore how mega-events articulate socio-cultural problems. Critically examining the aesthetics and ethics of mobilities in the mega-event this book explores these socio-cultural issues and controversies: the background of staging mega-events including the bidding process and the host’s expectations for returns; ceremonial staging and communications between artistic representations and national symbolism; the clear reaction mega-events almost always generate in national regional and global activist circles including accusations of overspending and human rights violations. This interdisciplinary study will appeal to scholars and students of the sociology of mobility sociology of globalisation cultural sociology social and anthropological theory as well as the sociology of sport human and cultural geography and leisure and tourism studies. | Socio-Cultural Mobility and Mega-Events Ethics and Aesthetics in Brazil’s 2014 World Cup

Towards a Philosophical Anthropology of Culture Naturalism Relativism and Skepticism

Towards a Philosophical Anthropology of Culture Naturalism Relativism and Skepticism

This book explores the question of what it means to be a human being through sustained and original analyses of three important philosophical topics: relativism skepticism and naturalism in the social sciences. Kevin M. Cahill’s approach involves an original employment of historical and ethnographic material that is both conceptual and empirical in order to address relevant philosophical issues. Specifically while Cahill avoids interpretative debates he develops an approach to philosophical critique based on Cora Diamond’s and James Conant’s work on the early Wittgenstein. This makes possible the use of a concept of culture that avoids the dogmatism that not only typifies traditional metaphysics but also frequently mars arguments from ordinary language or phenomenology. This is especially crucial for the third part of the book which involves a cultural-historical critique of the ontology of the self in Stanley Cavell’s work on skepticism. In pursuing this strategy the book also mounts a novel and timely defense of the interpretivist tradition in the philosophy of the social sciences. Towards a Philosophical Anthropology of Culture will be of interest to researchers working on the philosophy of the social sciences Wittgenstein and philosophical anthropology.

Political Reason in the Age of Ideology Essays in Honor of Raymond Aron

Political Reason in the Age of Ideology Essays in Honor of Raymond Aron

A little over one hundred years after his birth and not quite twenty-five years since his death interest in the French political philosopher and sociologist Raymond Aron (1905-1983) continues to grow. Aron is now widely recognized as one of the most significant intellectual figures of the postwar period whose wide-ranging reflections played a key part in preserving liberal democracy in Europe and abroad. His sober analyses of modern society his trenchant critique of ideological politics and every form of totalitarianism and his philosophical reflections on politics and history have given powerful support to democratic liberalism throughout the western world. Aron's work combines passion and observation disinterested reflection and love of liberty in a way that is an imitable model for humane and balanced political reflection. In this stimulating collection of essays inspired by the centennial of Aron's birth a distinguished group of North American and European scholars including Pierre Manent Stanley Hoffmann Irving Louis Horowitz Liah Greenfeld Claude Lefort and Aurelian Craiutu examine four key aspects of Aron's thought and work: his educative legacy; his reflections on other philosophers and intellectuals; his distinctive approach to international relations; and the unique character of his own political reflection. The result is a masterful engagement with Aron's intellectual legacy and a thoughtful coming to terms with the political and intellectual substance of the twentieth century. | Political Reason in the Age of Ideology Essays in Honor of Raymond Aron

Skepticism and Belonging in Shakespeare's Comedy

Skepticism and Belonging in Shakespeare's Comedy

This book recovers a sense of the high stakes of Shakespearean comedy arguing that the comedies no less than the tragedies serve to dramatize responses to the condition of being human responses that invite scholarly investigation and explanation. Taking its cue from Stanley Cavell’s influential readings of Othello and Lear the book argues that exposure or vulnerability to others is the source of both human happiness and human misery; while the tragedies showcase attempts at the evasion of such vulnerability through the self-defeating pursuit of epistemological certainty the comedies present the drama and the difficulty of turning away from an epistemological register in order to productively respond to the fact of our humanity. Where Shakespeare’s tragedies might be viewed in Cavellian terms as the drama of skepticism Shakespeare’s comedies then exemplify the drama of acknowledgement. As a parallel and a preamble Gottlieb suggests that the field of literary studies is itself a site of such revealing responses: where competing research methods strive to foreclose upon (or alternatively rejoice in) epistemological uncertainty such commitments bespeak an urge to avoid or circumvent the human in the practice of scholarship. Reading Shakespeare’s comedies in tandem with a defactoist view of teaching and learning points in the direction of a new humanism one that eschews both the relativism of old deconstruction and contemporary Presentism and the determinism of various kinds of structural accounts. This book offers something new in scholarly and popular understanding of Shakespeare’s work doing so with both philosophical rigor and literary attention to the difficult work of reading. | Skepticism and Belonging in Shakespeare's Comedy
