(P/B) CRITICAL MODELS
INTERVENTIONS AND CATCHWORDS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3949-0012

Critical Models combines into a single volume two of Adorno's most important postwar works - Interventions: Nine Critical Models (1963) and Catchwords: Critical Models II (1969). Written after his return to Germany in 1949, the articles, essays, and radio talks included in this volume speak to the pressing political, cultural, and philosophical concerns of the postwar era. The pieces in Critical Models reflect the intellectually provocative as well as the practical Adorno as he addresses such issues as the dangers of ideological conformity...

(P/B) SECULAR TRANSLATIONS
NATION-STATE, MODERN SELF, AND CALCULATIVE REASON
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3949-0209

In Secular Translations, the anthropologist Talal Asad reflects on his lifelong engagement with secularism and its contradictions. He draws out the ambiguities in our concepts of the religious and the secular through a rich consideration of translatability and untranslatability, exploring the circuitous movements of ideas between histories and cultures. In search of meeting points between the language of Islam and the language of secular reason, Asad gives particular importance to the translations of religious ideas into nonreligious ones....

(P/B) REDEMPTION
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3949-0207

It is New Year's Eve 1945 in a small Soviet town not long liberated from German occupation. Sashenka, a headstrong and self-centered teenage girl, resents her mother for taking a lover after her father's death in the war, and denounces her to the authorities for the petty theft that keeps them from going hungry. When she meets a Jewish lieutenant who has returned to bury his family, betrayed and murdered by their neighbors during the occupation, both must come to terms with the trauma that surrounds them as their relationship deepens. Rede...

(P/B) NEUROGASTRONOMY
HOW THE BRAIN CREATES FLAVOR AND WHY IT MATTERS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3949-0208

Leading neuroscientist Gordon M. Shepherd embarks on a paradigm-shifting trip through the "human brain flavor system," laying the foundations for a new scientific field: neurogastronomy. Challenging the belief that the sense of smell diminished during human evolution, Shepherd argues that this sense, which constitutes the main component of flavor, is far more powerful and essential than previously believed. Shepherd begins Neurogastronomy with the mechanics of smell, particularly the way it stimulates the nose from the back of the mouth. A...

(P/B) MAJOR WORKS
TRANSLATED, WITH AN ACCOUNT OF HIS LIFE AND A STUDY OF HIS THOUGHT, BY YOSHITO S. HAKEDA
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3949-0203

Kukai, more commonly known by the honorific Kobo Daishi, was one of the great characters in the development of Janpanese culture. He was active in literature, engineering, calligraphy, and architecture and is represented in this work in terms of his major effort--the introduction of esoteric Buddhism from China, which resulted in the formation of the Shingou sect still active in Japan. Eight of his works are presented here. (From the publisher)...

(P/B) FAIRBAIRN'S OBJECT RELATIONS THEORY IN THE CLINICAL SETTING
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3949-0180

W. R. D. Fairbairn (1889-1964) challenged the dominance of Freud's drive theory with a psychoanalytic theory based on the internalization of human relationships. Fairbairn assumed that the unconscious develops in childhood and contains dissociated memories of parental neglect, insensitivity, and outright abuse that are impossible the children to tolerate consciously. In Fairbairn's model, these dissociated memories protect developing children from recognizing how badly they are being treated and allow them to remain attached even to physic...

(H/B) THE BLACK CIRCLE
A LIFE OF ALEXANDRE KOJEVE
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3949-0204

Alexandre Kojeve (1902-1968) was an important and provocative thinker. Born in Russia, he spent most of his life in France. His interpretation of Hegel and his notorious declaration that history had come to an end exerted great influence on French thinkers and writers such as Raymond Aron, Georges Bataille, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Jacques Lacan, and Raymond Queneau. An unorthodox Marxist, he was a critic of Martin Heidegger and interlocutor of Leo Strauss who played a significant role in establishing the European Economic Community; a polyg...

(P/B) SUBJECTS OF DESIRE
HEGELIAN REFLECTIONS IN TWENTIETH-CENTURY FRANCE
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3949-0193

This classic work by one of the most important philosophers and critics of our time charts the genesis and trajectory of the desiring subject from Hegel's formulation in Phenomenology of Spirit to its appropriation by Kojeve, Hyppolite, Sartre, Lacan, Deleuze, and Foucault. Judith Butler plots the French reception of Hegel and the successive challenges waged against his metaphysics and view of the subject, all while revealing ambiguities within his position. The result is a sophisticated reconsideration of the post-Hegelian tradition that ...

MAN, THE STATE AND WAR (P/B)
A THEORETICAL ANALYSIS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3949-0093

What are the causes of war? To answer this question, Professor Waltz examines the ideas of major thinkers throughout the history of Western civilization. He explores works both by classic political philosophers, such as St. Augustine, Hobbes, Kant, and Rousseau, and by modern psychologists and anthropologists to discover ideas intended to explain war among states and related prescriptions for peace.

(P/B) COUNTERPOINT IN COMPOSITION
THE STUDY OF VOICE LEADING
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3949-0202

Counterpoint in Composition began life not as a book, but as a collection of examples from the literature. Dr. Salzer and I assembled it to show the connections between the simple procedures of species counterpoint and the complexities of composition, an approach to counterpoint deriving from the work of Heinrich Schenker. The collection was completed in 1963, and it was used in second-year theory classes at the Mannes College of Music, the school which pioneered the teaching of Schenkerian theory and analysis in the United States. The fac...

(P/B) NOMADIC THEORY
THE PORTABLE ROSI BRAIDOTTI
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3949-0134

Rosi Braidotti's nomadic theory outlines a sustainable modern subjectivity as one in flux, never opposed to a dominant hierarchy yet intrinsically other, always in the process of becoming, and perpetually engaged in dynamic power relations both creative and restrictive. Nomadic theory offers an original and powerful alternative for scholars working in cultural and social criticism and has, over the past decade, crept into continental philosophy, queer theory, and feminist, postcolonial, techno-science, media, and race studies, as well as i...

(P/B) DEATH AND MASTERY
PSYCHOANALYTIC DRIVE THEORY AND THE SUBJECT OF LATE CAPITALISM
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3949-0200

The first philosophers of the Frankfurt School famously turned to the psychoanalytic theories of Sigmund Freud to supplement their Marxist analyses of ideological subjectification. Since the collapse of their proposed "marriage of Marx and Freud," psychology and social theory have grown apart to the impoverishment of both. Returning to this union, Benjamin Y. Fong reconstructs the psychoanalytic "foundation stone" of critical theory in an effort to once again think together the possibility of psychic and social transformation. Drawing on ...

(P/B) CUT OF THE REAL
SUBJECTIVITY IN POSTSTRUCTURALIST PHILOSOPHY
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3949-0195

Following Francois Laruelle's nonstandard philosophy and the work of Judith Butler, Drucilla Cornell, Luce Irigaray, and Rosi Braidotti, Katerina Kolozova reclaims the relevance of categories traditionally rendered "unthinkable" by postmodern feminist philosophies, such as "the real," "the one," "the limit," and "finality," thus critically repositioning poststructuralist feminist philosophy and gender/queer studies. Poststructuralist (feminist) theory sees the subject as a purely linguistic category, as always already multiple, as always a...

(P/B) THE SOUND OF THE KISS
OR, THE STORY THAT MUST NEVER BE TOLD
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3949-0194

Composed in the mid-sixteenth century, The Sound of the Kiss, or The Story That Must Never Be Told, could be considered the first novel written in South Asia. Telugu, the language spoken in today's Andhra Pradesh region of southern India, has a classical literary tradition extending over a thousand years. Suranna's masterpiece comes from a period of intense creativity in Telugu, when great poets produced strikingly modern innovations. The novel explodes preconceived ideas about early South Indian literature: for example, that the character...

(P/B) THE POWER OF RELIGION IN THE PUBLIC SPHERE
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3949-0192

The Power of Religion in the Public Sphere represents a rare opportunity to experience a diverse group of preeminent philosophers confronting one pervasive contemporary concern: what role does -or should- religion play in our public lives? Reflecting on her recent work concerning state violence in Israel-Palestine, Judith Butler explores the potential of religious perspectives for renewing cultural and political criticism, while Jurgen Habermas, best known for his seminal conception of the public sphere, thinks through the ambiguous legacy...

(P/B) HANNAH ARENDT
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3949-0022

Twenty-five years after her death, we are still coming to terms with the controversial figure of Hannah Arendt. Interlacing the life and work of this seminal twentieth-century philosopher, Julia Kristeva provides us with an elegant, sophisticated biography brimming with historical and philosophical insight. Centering on the theme of female genius, Hannah Arendt emphasizes three features of the philosopher's work. First, by exploring Arendt's critique of Saint Augustine and her biographical essay on Rahel Varnhagen, Kristeva accentuates Are...

(P/B) EVERYONE DIES YOUNG
TIME WITHOUT AGE
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3949-0178

"We are awash in time, savoring a few moments of it; we project ourselves into it, reinvent it, play with it; we take our time or let it slip away: it is the raw material of our imagination. Age, on the other hand, is the detailed account of the days that pass, the one-way view of the years whose total sum when set forth can stupefy us. Age wedges each of us between a date of birth that, at least in the West, we know for certain and an expiration date that, as a general rule, we would like to defer. Time is a freedom, age a constraint." Ma...

(H/B) ECONOMIC THOUGHT
A BRIEF HISTORY
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3949-0179

In this concise yet comprehensive history, Heinz D. Kurz traces the long arc of economic thought from its emergence in ancient Greece to its systematic presentation among the classical thinkers of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries to the influential work of scholars such as Paul Samuelson and Kenneth J. Arrow. With a keen eye for how economic insights are acquired, lost, and reborn, Kurz focuses on the dynamic individuals who give old ideas new life and the historical events that provoke different approaches and theories. ...

(P/B) JACQUES LACAN, PAST AND PRESENT
A DIALOGUE
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3949-0167

In this dialogue, Alain Badiou shares the clearest, most detailed account to date of his profound indebtedness to Lacanian psychoanalysis. He explains in depth the tools Lacan gave him to navigate the extremes of his other two philosophical "masters," Jean-Paul Sartre and Louis Althusser. ?lisabeth Roudinesco supplements Badiou's experience with her own perspective on the troubled landscape of the French analytic world since Lacan's death-critiquing, for example, the link (or lack thereof) between politics and psychoanalysis in Lacan's wor...
