(P/B) HENRI LEFEBVRE ON SPACE
ARCHITECTURE, URBAN RESEARCH, AND THE PRODUCTION OF THEORY
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0838-0040

In this innovative work, Lukasz Stanek frames a uniquely contextual appreciation of Henri Lefebvre's idea that space is a social product. Stanek explicitly confronts both the philosophical and the empirical foundations of Lefebvre's oeuvre, especially his direct involvement in the fields of urban development, planning, and architecture. Countering the prevailing view, which reduces Lefebvre's theory of space to a projection of his philosophical positions, Stanek argues that Lefebvre's work grew out of his concrete, empirical engagement wi...

(P/B) BEAUTIFUL FIGHTING GIRL
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0838-0041

From Cutie Honey and Sailor Moon to Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, the worlds of Japanese anime and manga teem with prepubescent girls toting deadly weapons. Sometimes overtly sexual, always intensely cute, the beautiful fighting girl has been both hailed as a feminist icon and condemned as a symptom of the objectification of young women in Japanese society. In Beautiful Fighting Girl, Saito Tamaki offers a far more sophisticated and convincing interpretation of this alluring and capable figure. For Saito, the beautiful fighting girl...

(P/B) DOES WRITING HAVE A FUTURE?
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0838-0032

In Does Writing Have a Future?, Vil?m Flusser asks what will happen to thought and communication as written communication gives way, inevitably, to digital expression. In his introduction, Flusser proposes that writing does not, in fact, have a future because everything that is now conveyed in writing - and much that cannot be - can be recorded and transmitted by other means.

(P/B) PSYCHOANALYSIS AND THE CHALLENGE OF ISLAM
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0838-0038

Fethi Benslama is a psychoanalyst who, although a secular thinker, identifies himself as a person of Muslim culture who rejects ready-made explanations for Islamic fundamentalism. In that spirit, Benslama demythifies both Islam and Western ideas of the religion by addressing the psychoanalytic root causes of the Muslim world's clash with modernity and subsequent turn to fundamentalism. Tracing this ideological strain to its origins, Benslama shows that contemporary Islam consists of a fairly recent hybridization of Arab nationalism, theocr...

(P/B) SPACE, SITE, INTERVENTION
SITUATING INSTALLATION ART
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0838-0000

From Ferdinand Chevel's Palais Ideal (1879-1905) and Simon Rodia's Watts Towers (1921-1954) to Ant Farm's Cadillac Ranch (1974) and Richard Serra's Tilted Arc (1981), installation art has continually crossed boundaries, encompassing sculpture, architecture, performance, and visual art. Although unique in its power to transform both the site in which a work is constructed and the viewer's experience of being in a place, installation art has not received the critical attention accorded other art forms. In Space, Site, Intervention, some of ...

(P/B) PARADIGM LOST
STATE THEORY RECONSIDERED
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0838-0036

With increasing globalization, the meaning and role of the nation-state are in flux. At the same time, state theory, which might help to explain such a trend, has fallen victim to the general decline of radical movements, particularly the crisis in Marxism. This volume seeks to enrich and complicate current political debates by bringing state theory back to the fore and assessing its relevance to the social phenomena and thought of our day. Throughout, it becomes clear that, whether confronting the challenges of postmodern and neo-institut...

(P/B) TOWARDS AN AESTHETIC OF LITERARY RECEPTION
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0838-0013

This volume presents for the first time in English the foundational writings of the leading proponent of the aesthetic of reception. Jauss here attempts to develop categories to channel conventional literary history into a history of aesthetic experience. These essays explore the relation of art history to social history, the nature of genres in the middle ages, and provide exemplary readings in the comparative analysis of literature. This volume presents for the first time in English the foundational writings of the leading proponent of t...

(P/B) TRILOGY OF RESISTANCE
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0838-0029

The first collection of plays - provocative political dramas - by the coauthor of the best-selling book Empire With Trilogy of Resistance, the political philosopher Antonio Negri extends his intervention in contemporary politics and culture into a new medium: drama. The three plays collected for the first time in this volume dramatize the central concepts of the innovative and influential thought he has articulated in his best-selling books Empire and Multitude, coauthored with Michael Hardt.

(P/B) THE CINEMA, OR THE IMAGINARY MAN
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0838-0028

When The Cinema, or The Imaginary Man first appeared in 1956, Edgar Morin perceived in the cinema a complex phenomenon capable of illuminating truths about thought, imagination, and human nature. Now making its English-language debut, this provocative work draws on insights from poets, filmmakers, anthropologists, and philosophers to restore to the cinema the sense of magic first enjoyed at the dawn of the medium.

(P/B) POLITICS OF TOUCH
SENSE, MOVEMENT, SOVEREIGNTY
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0838-0027

Political philosophy has long been bound by traditional thinking about the body and the senses. Through an engagement with the state-centered vocabulary of this discipline, Politics of Touch examines how sensing bodies continually run up against existing political structures. In this groundbreaking work, Erin Manning reconsiders how new politics can arise that challenge the national body politic. In Politics of Touch, Manning develops a nuanced understanding of the role of the senses and of touch in particular. Exploring concepts of violen...

(P/B) ACTIVE RADIO
PACIFICA'S BRASH EXPERIMENT
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0838-0026

In April 1949, KPFA in Berkeley, California, went on the air. From the beginning, the station broadcast an utterly new combination of political commentary and cultural discussion that reflected founder Lewis Hill's vision of a radio station dedicated to creative expression and dissent. In this fascinating account, Jeff Land tells the heroic story of the Pacifica radio network, exploring not only its role in the culture and politics of the postwar world but also the practical model it pioneered for liberatory alternatives to commercial mass...

(P/B) CRITICAL WRITINGS, 1953-1978
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0838-0001

Twenty-five essays and reviews not previously collected, most of which were written before 1970, and eight of which are appearing in English for the first time. Valuable for the insights they afford into his development as a critic the essays are also significant in addressing de Man's consistent views of romanticism, modernism and the dilemmas central to literature in recent centuries.

(P/B) THE TEARS OF THINGS
MELANCHOLY AND PHYSICAL OBJECTS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0838-0025

We surround ourselves with material things that are invested with memories but can only stand for what we have lost. Physical objects - such as one's own body - situate and define us; yet at the same time they are fundamentally indifferent to us. The melancholy of this rift is a rich source of inspiration for artists. Peter Schwenger deftly weaves together philosophical and psychoanalytical theory with artistic practice. Concerned in part with the act of collecting, The Tears of Things is itself a collection of exemplary art objects - lite...

(P/B) THE MATRIXIAL BORDERSPACE
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0838-0002

Artist, psychoanalyst, and feminist theorist Bracha Ettinger presents an original theoretical exploration of shared affect and emergent expression, across the thresholds of identity and memory. Ettinger works through Lacan's late works, the anti-Oedipal perspectives of Deleuze and Guattari, as well as object-relations theory to critique the phallocentrism of mainstream Lacanian theory and to rethink the masculine-feminine opposition. She replaces the phallic structure with a dimension of emergence, where objects, images, and meanings are g...

(P/B) THE RESISTANCE TO THEORY
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0838-0021

In a brilliant collection of essays, de Man explores his views, that, the resistance to theory is inherent in the theoretical enterprise itself, and the real debate is with its own methodological assumptions and possibilities. (From the publisher)...

(P/B) THE PARASITE
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0838-0017

Influential philosopher Michel Serres's foundational work uses fable to explore how human relations are identical to that of the parasite to the host body. Among Serres's arguments is that by being pests, minor groups can become major players in public dialogue - creating diversity and complexity vital to human life and thought. (From the publisher) Serres is an extremely imaginative thinker with extraordinary intellectual range. Moving through fields as diverse as physics, information theory, literature, philosophy, theology, anthropolog...

(P/B) SCREENING THE BODY
TRACING MEDICINE'S VISUAL CULTURE
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0838-0019

Moving images are used as diagnostic tools and locational devices every day in hospitals, clinics, and laboratories. But how and when did they come to be established and accepted sources of knowledge about the body in medical culture? How are the specialized techniques and codes of these imaging techniques determined, and whose bodies are studied, diagnosed, and treated with the help of optical recording devices? Screening the Body traces the fascinating history of scientific film during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to...

(P/B) ON YOUR MARX
RELINKING SOCIALISM AND THE LEFT
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0838-0012

Why-and how-does Marx speak to our day? Seeking to reestablish the link between Marx, socialism, and the Left, this book negotiates the common ground between orthodox marxism and postmarxism to show how Marx can elaborate the present. More than a claim for his relevance, this book is also a forceful statement about how theory relates to political project and organization. What, Randy Martin asks, does Marx have to say to the discourses of radical democracy, postmodernism, and globalization-all of which purport to solve problems that emerg...

(P/B) OF BORDERS AND THRESHOLDS
THEATRE HISTORY, PRACTICE, AND THEORY
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0838-0005

The theatre is full of borders and boundaries: between the "real" and "illusionary" conditions of the stage, between the way one acts onstage and in "real" life, between stage and audience, performance and reception. As such, theatre offers a unique opportunity to examine the construction, representation, and functioning of borders. This is the task undertaken by the authors of this volume, the first to apply the lexicon and concepts of border theory to theatre history and performance theory. Ultimately, the book seeks to answer the questi...

(P/B) REPRESENTING PLACE
LANDSCAPE PAINTING AND MAPS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 0838-0011

You are here, a map declares, but of course you are not, any more than you truly occupy the vantage point into which a landscape painting puts you. How maps and paintings figure and reconfigure space - as well as our place in it - is the subject of Edward S. Casey's ambitious study, an exploration of how we portray the world and its many places. Casey's discussion ranges widely from Northern Sung landscape painting to nineteenth-century American and British landscape painting and photography, from prehistoric petroglyphs and medieval port...
