Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Do our writings and our utterances reflect or describe our world, or do they intervene in it Do they, perhaps, help to make it If so, how Within what limits, and with what implications Contemporary theorists have considered the ways in which the languages we speak might be 'performative' in just this way, and their thinking on the topic has had an important impact on a broad range of academic disciplines.In this accessible introduction to a sometimes complex field, James Loxley:offers a concise and original account of critical debates around the idea of performativitytraces the history of the concept through the work of such influential theorists as J. L. Austin, John Searle, Stanley Fish, Jacques Derrida, Paul de Man and Judith Butlerexamines the implications of performativity for fields such as literary and cultural theory, philosophy, performance studies, and the theory of gender and sexuality.emphasises the political and ethical implications that its most important theorists have drawn from the notion of performativitysuggests ways in which major debates around the topic have obscured its alternative interpretations and uses.For students trying to make sense of performativity and related concepts such as the speech act, 'ordinary language', and iterability, and for those seeking to understand the place of these ideas in contemporary performance theory, this clear guide will prove indispensable. Performativity offers not only a path through challenging critical terrain, but a new understanding of just what is at stake in the exploration of this field.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This is a clear and concise introduction to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and an overview of its debates and controversies. Where did the IMF come from What does it do Why do so many governments participate in its programs and what are their effects How can we best reform this key global institution These are some of the key questions addressed. In our age of thinking global, the IMF is a crucial institution and central to understanding international relations and current affairs. Founded in the aftermath of the Second World War, its basic purposes were to facilitate world trade and promote national prosperity. The founders hoped that never again would the world experience the trade policies that led up to the Great Depression. This book outlines and questions these targets and assesses actual achievements. It also details how despite originally focusing on Europe, the Fund has gradually shifted to involvement with poorer developing countries, but to what ends and with how much success This study both poses and tackles the tough questions facing our global community today.
