(P/B) THE INVENTION OF INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS THEORY
REALISM, THE ROCKEFELLER FOUNDATION, AND THE 1954 CONFERENCE ON THEORY
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3949-0230

The 1954 Conference on Theory, sponsored by the Rockefeller Foundation, featured a who's who of scholars and practitioners debating the foundations of international relations theory. Assembling his own team of experts, all of whom have struggled with this legacy, Nicolas Guilhot revisits a seminal event and its odd rejection of scientific rationalism. Far from being a spontaneous development, these essays argue, the emergence of a "realist" approach to international politics, later codified at the conference, was deliberately triggered by ...

(H/B) THE ALCHEMY OF DISEASE
HOW CHEMICALS AND TOXINS CAUSE CANCER AND OTHER ILLNESSES
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3949-0229

Since the dawn of the industrial age, we have unleashed a bewildering number of potentially harmful chemicals. But out of this vast array, how do we identify the actual threats? What does it take to prove that a certain chemical causes cancer? How do we translate academic knowledge of the toxic effects of particular substances into understanding real-world health consequences? The science that answers these questions is toxicology. In The Alchemy of Disease, John Whysner offers an accessible and compelling history of toxicology and its key...

(P/B) TIME AND THE OTHER
HOW ANTHROPOLOGY MAKES ITS OBJECT
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3949-0164

Fabian's study is a classic in the field that changed the way anthropologists relate to their subjects and is of immense value not only to anthropologists but to all those concerned with the study of man. A new foreword by Matti Bunzl brings the influence of Fabian's study up to the present. Time and the Other is a critique of the notions that anthropologists are "here and now," their objects of study are "there and then," and that the "other" exists in a time not contemporary with our own.

(H/B) LEFT-WING MELANCHOLIA
MARXISM, HISTORY, AND MEMORY
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3949-0217

The fall of the Berlin Wall marked the end of the Cold War but also the rise of a melancholic vision of history as a series of losses. For the political left, the cause lost was communism, and this trauma determined how leftists wrote the next chapter in their political struggle and how they have thought about their past since. Throughout the twentieth century, argues Left-Wing Melancholia, from classical Marxism to psychoanalysis to the advent of critical theory, a culture of defeat and its emotional overlay of melancholy have characteriz...

(P/B) DERRIDA/SEARLE
DECONSTRUCTION AND ORDINARY LANGUAGE
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3949-0228

Raoul Moati intervenes in the critical debate that divided two prominent philosophers in the mid-twentieth century. In the 1950s, the British philosopher J. L. Austin advanced a theory of speech acts, or the "performative," that Jacques Derrida and John R. Searle interpreted in fundamentally different ways. Their disagreement centered on the issue of intentionality, which Derrida understood phenomenologically and Searle read pragmatically. The controversy had profound implications for the development of contemporary philosophy, which, Moat...

(H/B) SECULARISM AND COSMOPOLITANISM
CRITICAL HYPOTHESES ON RELIGION AND POLITICS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3949-0198

What is the relationship between cosmopolitanism and secularism - the worldwide and the worldly? While cosmopolitan politics may seem inherently secular, existing forms of secularism risk undermining the universality of cosmopolitanism because they privilege the European tradition over all others and transform particular historical norms into enunciations of truth, valid for all cultures and all epochs. In this book, the noted philosopher Etienne Balibar explores the tensions lurking at this troubled nexus in order to advance a truly democ...

(H/B) SOCIAL EMPATHY
THE ART OF UNDERSTANDING OTHERS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3949-0218

Our ability to understand others and help others understand us is essential to our individual and collective well-being. Yet there are many barriers that keep us from walking in the shoes of others: fear, skepticism, and power structures that separate us from those outside our narrow groups. To progress in a multicultural world and ensure our common good, we need to overcome these obstacles. Our best hope can be found in the skill of empathy. In Social Empathy, Elizabeth A. Segal explains how we can develop our ability to understand one an...

(H/B) JACQUES SCHIFFRIN
A PUBLISHER IN EXILE, FROM PLEIADE TO PANTHEON
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3949-0221

Jacques Schiffrin changed the face of publishing in the twentieth century. As the founder of Les ?ditions de la Pl?iade in Paris and cofounder of Pantheon Books in New York, he helped define a lasting canon of Western literature while also promoting new authors who shaped transatlantic intellectual life. In this first biography of Schiffrin, Amos Reichman tells the poignant story of a remarkable publisher and his dramatic travails across two continents. Just as he influenced the literary trajectory of the twentieth century, Schiffrin's lif...

(P/B) WHAT KIND OF CREATURES ARE WE ?
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3949-0212

Noam Chomsky is widely known and deeply admired for being the founder of modern linguistics, one of the founders of the field of cognitive science, and perhaps the most avidly read political theorist and commentator of our time. In these lectures, he presents a lifetime of philosophical reflection on all three of these areas of research, to which he has contributed for over half a century. In clear, precise, and nontechnical language, Chomsky elaborates on fifty years of scientific development in the study of language, sketching how his ow...

(P/B) FOUCAULT AT THE MOVIES
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3949-0197

Michel Foucault's work on film, although not extensive, compellingly illustrates the power of bringing his unique vision to bear on the subject and offers valuable insights into other aspects of his thought. Foucault at the Movies brings together all of Foucault's commentary on film, some of it available for the first time in English, along with important contemporary analysis and further extensions of this work. Patrice Maniglier and Dork Zabunyan situate Foucault's writings on film in the context of the rest of his work as well as within...

(P/B) POLITICAL FREUD
A HISTORY
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3949-0205

In this masterful history, Eli Zaretsky reveals the power of Freudian thought to illuminate the great political conflicts of the twentieth century. Developing an original concept of "political Freudianism," he shows how twentieth-century radicals, activists, and intellectuals used psychoanalytic ideas to probe consumer capitalism, racial violence, anti-Semitism, and patriarchy. He also underscores the continuing influence and critical potential of those ideas in the transformed landscape of the present. Zaretsky's conception of political F...

(P/B) BLACK GODS OF THE ASPHALT
RELIGION, HIP-HOP, AND STREET BASKETBALL
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3949-0225

J-Rod moves like a small tank on the court, his face mean, staring down his opponents. "I play just like my father," he says. "Before my father died, he was a problem on the court. I'm a problem." Playing basketball for him fuses past and present, conjuring his father's memory into a force that opponents can feel in each bone-snapping drive to the basket. On the street, every ballplayer has a story. Onaje X. O. Woodbine, a former streetball player who became an all-star Ivy Leaguer, brings the sights and sounds, hopes and dreams of street ...

(P/B) UNHOUSED
ADORNO AND THE PROBLEM OF DWELLING
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3949-0196

Unhoused: Adorno and the Problem of Dwelling is the first book-length study of Theodor Adorno as a philosopher of housing. Treating his own experience of exile as emblematic of late modern life, Adorno observed that twentieth-century dwelling had been rendered "impossible" by nativism, by the decimations of war, and, in the postwar period, by housing's increasingly thorough assimilation into private property. Adorno's position on the meaning and prospects for adequate dwelling - a concept he never wrote about systematically but nevertheles...

(H/Β) INDENTIFYING WITH NATIONALITY
EUROPEANS, OTTOMANS, AND EGYPTIANS IN ALEXANDRIA
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3949-0220

Nationality is the most important legal mechanism sorting and classifying the world's population today. An individual's place of birth or naturalization determines where he or she can and cannot be and what he or she can and cannot do. Although this system may appear universal, even natural, Will Hanley shows that it arose just a century ago. In Identifying with Nationality, he uses the Mediterranean city of Alexandria to develop a genealogy of the nation and the formation of the modern national subject. Alexandria in 1880 was an immigrant...

(H/B) LACAN
ANTI-PHILOSOPHY
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3949-0222

Alain Badiou is arguably the most significant philosopher in Europe today. Badiou's seminars, given annually on major conceptual and historical topics, constitute an enormously important part of his work. They served as laboratories for his thought and public illuminations of his complex ideas yet remain little known. This book, the transcript of Badiou's year-long seminar on the psychoanalytic theory of Jacques Lacan, is the first volume of his seminars to be published in English, opening up a new and vital aspect of his thinking. In a hi...

(P/B) CRITICAL THEORY AT A CROSSROADS
CONVERSATIONS ON RESISTANCE IN TIMES OF CRISIS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3949-0211

We are living in an age of crisis - or an age in which everything is labeled a crisis. Financial, debt, and refugee "crises" have erupted. The word has also been applied to the Arab Spring and its aftermath, Brexit, the 2016 U.S. election, and many other international events. Yet the term has contradictory political and strategic meanings for those challenging power structures and those seeking to preserve them. For critics of the status quo, can the rhetoric of crisis be used to foment urgency around issues like climate change and financi...

(P/B) KARL PALANYI
A LIFE ON THE LEFT
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3949-0213

Karl Polanyi (1886-1964) was one of the twentieth century's most original interpreters of the market economy. His penetrating analysis of globalization's disruptions and the Great Depression's underlying causes still serves as an effective counterargument to free market fundamentalism. This biography shows how the major personal and historical events of his life transformed him from a bourgeois radical into a Christian socialist but also informed his ambivalent stance on social democracy, communism, the New Deal, and the shifting intellect...

(H/B) ATHEISM
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3949-0214

One of the twentieth century's most brilliant and unconventional thinkers, Alexandre Kojeve was a Russian ?migr? to France whose lectures on Hegel in the 1930s galvanized a generation of French intellectuals. Although Kojeve wrote a great deal, he published very little in his lifetime, and so the ongoing rediscovery of his work continues to present new challenges to philosophy and political theory. Written in 1931 but left unfinished, Atheism is an erudite and open-ended exploration of profound questions of estrangement, death, suicide, an...

(H/B) NAMING VIOLENCE
A CRITICAL THEORY OF GENOCIDE, TORTURE, AND TERRORISM
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3949-0216

Much is at stake when we choose a word for a form of violence: whether a conflict is labeled civil war or genocide, whether we refer to "enhanced interrogation techniques" or to "torture," whether a person is called a "terrorist" or a "patriot." Do these decisions reflect the rigorous application of commonly accepted criteria, or are they determined by power structures and partisanship? How is the language we use for violence entangled with the fight against it? In Naming Violence, Mathias Thaler articulates a novel perspective on the stud...
