Illusion and Fetishism in Critical Theory A study of Nietzsche Benjamin Castoriadis and the Situationists

Illusion and Fetishism in Critical Theory A study of Nietzsche Benjamin Castoriadis and the Situationists

Through the negative dialectics of Theodore Adorno Illusion and Fetishism in Critical Theory offers an examination of Nietzsche Benjamin Castoriadis and the Situationists who put the concept of illusion at the forefront of their philosophical thought. Vasilis Grollios argues that these political philosophers except Castoriadis have up to now been wrongly considered by many scholars to be far from the line of thinking of negative dialectics Critical Theory and the early Frankfurt School/Open Marxist tradition. He illustrates how these thinkers focused on the illusions of capitalism and attempted to show how capitalism by its innate rationale creates social forms that are presented as unavoidable and universal yet are historically specific and of dubious sustainability. Providing a unique overview of concepts including illusion totality fetishization contradiction identity thinking and dialectics Grollios expertly reveals how their understanding of critique can help us open cracks in capitalism and radicalize democratic social practice today. Illusion and Fetishism in Critical Theory is a must read for scholars of political theory and political philosophy critical theory the Frankfurt School sociology and democratic theory. | Illusion and Fetishism in Critical Theory A study of Nietzsche Benjamin Castoriadis and the Situationists

The World to Come Writings on Ethics and Politics

The World to Come Writings on Ethics and Politics

At the heart of the messianic thinking lies an unconditional idea of redemption. The messianic idea of unconditionality is based upon a qualitative distinction between the unredeemed world and the world to come. It is fundamental to this messianic idea that this distinction can't be grasped as transition or mediation. Taking his inspiration from thinkers like Jacques Derrida Emmanuel Lévinas Walter Benjamin and Franz Rosenzweig Saitya Brata Das renews here this task of the unconditional the task of thinking “the advent of pure future that is always to come unenclosed in the bounds of law or in the cages of the “worldly”. He thereby draws profound ethico-political implications from such a thought that opens up the infinitude of the future from the heart of our finitude and shows that such thinking is the very task of our time. | The World to Come Writings on Ethics and Politics

The Political Economy Of European Monetary Unification

The Political Economy Of European Monetary Unification

The first edition of this book was published in 1994 as the future of monetary unification in Europe was very much in doubt. With Economic and Monetary Union now in place it is appropriate to bring the scholarship on the topic up to date for the students of international political economics. To this effect essayists Jeffry Frieden Geoffrey Garrett Lisa L. Martin Benjamin J. Cohen revised four of the original chapters to reflect new conditions. Editors Barry Eichengreen and Frieden completely rewrote the introductory essay. Three new chapters by Matthew Gabel Charles Engel and Paul De Grauwe et al cover public support for EMU local currency pricing and whether Europe is now better off? The updated volume's purpose remains that of bringing the latest in scholarship in Economics and Political Science to bear on the European monetary integration | The Political Economy Of European Monetary Unification

Supergrow Essays and Reports on Imagination in America

Supergrow Essays and Reports on Imagination in America

Supergrow is a collection of fifteen essays that appeared between 1966 and 1969 in publications such as the American Scholar the New York Times Antioch Review Esquire and the Saturday Review. Author Benjamin DeMott discusses everything under the sun-music improving one's sex life violence in Mississippi theater student revolts-but a single theme unifies the material: people ought to use their imaginations more. The book starts from the assumption that our troubles stem from failures of the imagination. Overcome by mass media we are often too oblivious to fresh and original ideas. As DeMott states àthe right use of the constructive imagination increases the effectiveness of our energies enables people to anticipate moves and countermoves prevents them from becoming frozen into postures of intransigence or martyrdom which though possessing a æterrible beauty ' have as their main consequence the stiffening of resistance and the slowing of change. Supergrow is a sociological and political critique of various aspects of everyday life in America one informed by a powerful moral sensibility and an Emersonian sense of self-reliance. DeMott takes pop culture seriously but exhibits a refreshing unwillingness to go with the flow and get caught up in fashionable intellectual fads. Graced with a new introduction by the author Supergrow is an insightful work that is not afraid to tackle difficult subject matter. Whether discussing homosexuality racism popular music or child rearing Supergrow is well-reasoned perceptive and entertaining. As DeMott would hope it will stimulate the imagination. Devastating sustained profoundly witty resounding. New York Times Book Review I didn't think it possible for a long time to come for any writer to say anything about black-and-white relations or lack of them that had freshness and pertinence. I was wrong. Nat Hentoff Village Voice Benjamin DeMott is an essayist novelist and journalist. He was professor of English at Amherst College and a consultant and writer for National Educational Television. He is the author of The Body's Cage Killer Blues: Why Americans Can't Think Straight about Gender and Power and You Don't Say available from Transaction. | Supergrow Essays and Reports on Imagination in America

Pamuk's Istanbul The Self and the City

Pamuk's Istanbul The Self and the City

This book reconstructs Istanbul through the prism of Orhan Pamuk’s fiction. It navigates the multiple selves and layers of Istanbul to present how the city has shaped the writings of Pamuk and has in turn been shaped by it. Through everyday objects and architecture it shows how Pamuk transforms the city into a living museum where different objects converse along with characters to present a rich tapestry across space and time. Further the monograph explores the formation of communal and literary identity within and around nation-building narratives informed by capitalism and modernization. The book also examines how Pamuk uses the postmodern city to move beyond its postmodern confines and utilizes the theories and universes of Bakhtin Benjamin and Foucault to open up his fiction and radically challenge the idea of the novel. The volume will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of literature literary theory museum studies architecture and cultural studies and especially appeal to readers of Orhan Pamuk. | Pamuk's Istanbul The Self and the City

Labyrinths of Language Philosophical and Cultural Investigations

Labyrinths of Language Philosophical and Cultural Investigations

Thirteen essays in the book explore and investigate diverse contemporary philosophically current themes and issues. The title is derived from Wittgenstein's statement that 'anguage is a labyrinth of paths ' and it studiously avoids any conclusive claim on its central motif. What people both users and theorists do with language rather than what it is is the running theme. The book critically presents the views of a wide range of philosophically and analytically oriented authors including de Saussure Levinas Lévi-Strauss Wittgenstein Derrida Bakhtin Benjamin Kafka Heidegger Blanchot Jean-Luc Nancy Barthes and Deleuze. Only two essays diverge from the main concern with language: the one on the discourse of death and another on the philosophy of image. One essay involves an analysis of the cultural and political discourse in a contemporary Malayalam novel. The concluding essay attempts to develop a postcolonial field of language studies with reference to the works of the 18th century British jurist and linguist Sir William Jones and the subsequent philological tradition whose political consequences are only beginning to be understood. | Labyrinths of Language Philosophical and Cultural Investigations

Notes for a Decolonial Political Theology

Notes for a Decolonial Political Theology

At the crossroads of ethics poetics and politics this innovative book outlines a series of notes to decolonize political theology. The author proposes counter-hegemonic forms of reading which deconstruct domination by embracing fragility. The book opens with a diapason of prejudicelessness as a decolonial key focusing on prejudices that hinder critical attention to a colonial political theology that perpetuates hatred. The first set of notes aims to ‘de-orientalize the Semite’ by reading midrashic and biblical texts in the present context the second seeks to decolonize language by exploring the power of translation and the third ponders decolonial theo-logics to outline a justice of the other. Connecting a number of fields authors and epistemologies the book addresses the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and brings together Jewish thought continental philosophy and Latin American perspectives. It engages with a range of thinkers including Benjamin and Arendt and features an interview with Enrique Dussel. This is an important methodological proposal for interdisciplinary and intercultural political theology and a valuable contribution towards rethinking the paradigm of political theology beyond its Eurocentric and colonialist premises. | Notes for a Decolonial Political Theology

Two-Dimensional People Lives Desires and Social Attitudes in a Changing Chinese Village

Two-Dimensional People Lives Desires and Social Attitudes in a Changing Chinese Village

Based on almost eight years of fieldwork in a town and a village in South China this book analyzes contradictions among various dimensions of the peasant economy social relationships popular religion and local politics in rural China. Compared to many anthropological sociological and political studies of rural China which regard Chinese peasants as one-dimensionally materialistic politically conservative egocentric (lacking public-mindedness as in anthropologist Yan Yunxiang’s notion of the uncivil individual) with collapsed beliefs and thinking only of the present (or the today-ness of today according to anthropologist Liu Xin) this book shows that people in contemporary rural China are actually two-dimensional: trying to combine the calculation of self-interest with affective networks of reciprocity but often falling into awkwardness or cynicism in a paradoxical symbiosis between nihilism and transcendence. While Marcuse used the words of Benjamin to analyze one-dimensional man writing Only for the sake of the hopeless ones have we been given hope this book writes of two-dimensional people Only when the vast majority of ordinary people can find hope in everyday life can we finally be given hope! This book will be of interest to scholars and students of Sociology Anthropology and East Asian Studies. It will also be a great read to those who are interested in contemporary China in general. | Two-Dimensional People Lives Desires and Social Attitudes in a Changing Chinese Village

The Elections in Israel 2019–2021

The Elections in Israel 2019–2021

The 16th book in The Elections in Israel series this book covers an extraordinary political event of having four national elections in two years which were much (but not all) about one person King Bibi. Analyzing Israel’s national elections from 2019 to 2021 this book argues the four elections became to a large extent a referendum on Benjamin Netanyahu the incumbent prime minister and head of the Likud party facing investigations a hearing and indictment on charges of bribery fraud and breach of trust. Thus the first part of the book is dedicated to political personalization and to Netanyahu himself. The second part of the volume covers the traditional actors in parliamentary elections: voters parties and the mass media. The book relies on empirical analysis including extensive use of the Israel National Election Studies data; on theoretical rigor; and on the contextualization of the elections from comparative and long-term perspectives. The book should interest students and researchers of Israeli politics and society electoral studies and the crisis of democracy more generally. Many chapters will be of interest to political science communications and sociology students and scholars who study themes that are prominent on the academic and public agenda including political personalization and personalized politics populism party decline and democratic backsliding.

Arieh Sharon and Modern Architecture in Israel Building Social Pragmatism

Arieh Sharon and Modern Architecture in Israel Building Social Pragmatism

Arieh Sharon and Modern Architecture in Israel: Building Social Pragmatism offers the first comprehensive survey of the work of Arieh Sharon and analyzes and discusses his designs and plans in relation to the emergence of the State of Israel. A graduate of the Bauhaus Sharon worked for a few years at the office of Hannes Mayer before returning to Mandatory Palestine. There he established his office which was occupied in its first years in planning kibbutzim and residential buildings in Tel Aviv. After the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948 Arieh Sharon became the director and chief architect of the National Planning Department where he was asked to devise the young country’s first national masterplan. Known as the Sharon Plan it was instrumental in shaping the development of the new nation. During the 1950s and 1960s Sharon designed many of Israel’s institutions including hospitals and buildings on university campuses. This book presents Sharon’s exceptionally wide range of work and examines his perception of architecture in both socialist and pragmatist terms. It also explores Sharon’s modernist approach to architecture and his subsequent shift to Brutalist architecture when he partnered with Benjamin Idelson in the 1950s and when his son Eldar Sharon joined the office in 1964. Thus the book contributes a missing chapter in the historiography of Israeli architecture in particular and of modern architecture overall. This book will be of interest to researchers in architecture modern architecture Israel studies Middle Eastern studies and migration of knowledge. | Arieh Sharon and Modern Architecture in Israel Building Social Pragmatism
