But it also steers Deleuze in a new direction, unleashing the creative power and possibilities behind one of the chief philosophical figures of our age.' - Dr. Elizabeth Guffey, State University of New York, PurchaseAn interrogation of the theory and practice of design through the thought of Gilles DeleuzeWhat can Deleuze's creative, immanent and practical philosophy offer to a field not only concerned with innovation and the creation of possible worlds, but one that is fast becoming a way of thinking and critically responding to current issues and concerns Is there a Deleuzian way of designing Whether we are dealing with products or scenarios, packaging or experiences, objects or digital platforms, services or territories, organizations and strategies, design is never a thing, but a process of change, invention and speculation always with material, tangible implications that affect behaviours and lives.Drawing on a range of contributors, case studies and examples, this book examines ways in which we can think about design through Deleuze, and likewise how Deleuze's thought can be experimented upon and re-designed to produce new concepts. Discussions include materiality, creativity, objects, the future, innovation, the designed environment and the interaction between human and non-human agents.This collection taps into the emerging networks between philosophy as an act of inventing concepts, and design as the process of inventing the world.Betti Marenko is Contextual Studies Leader for Product Design at Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Anna Backman Rogers argues that American independent cinema is a cinema not merely in crisis, but also of crisis. As a cinema which often explores the rite of passage by explicitly drawing on American cinematic heritage, from the teen movie to the western, American independent films deal in images of crisis, transition and metamorphosis, offering a subversive engagement with more traditional modes of representation.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - \*\*\* AUTHOR APPROVED \*\*\* 'War and the Mind focusses subtly on Parade's End and the Great War but also illuminates many other works by Ford, William James, May Sinclair, Rebecca West, and Virginia Woolf. Essential reading for scholars of war and gender studies, trauma theory, modernism, and the fictional relation of sex to violence.' Martin Stannard, Professor of Modern English Literature, University of Leicester New critical essays illuminate Ford Madox Ford's epic First World War modernist masterpiece, Parade's End This is the first full-length critical study of Parade's End to focus on the psychological effects of the war. Originally published in 4 volumes between 1924 and 1928, Parade's End has been described as 'the finest novel about the First World War' (Anthony Burgess), 'the greatest war novel ever written by an Englishman' (Samuel Hynes), 'a central Modernist novel of the 1920s, in which it is exemplary' (Malcolm Bradbury), and 'possibly the greatest 20th-century novel in English' (John N. Gray). These 10 newly commissioned essays focus on the psychological effects of the war, both upon Ford himself and upon his novel: its characters, its themes, and its form. The chapters explore: Ford's pioneering analysis of war trauma, trauma theory, shell shock, memory and repression, insomnia, empathy, therapy, literary Impressionism, and literary style. Writers discussed alongside Ford include Joseph Conrad, Siegfried Sassoon, May Sinclair, and Rebecca West, as well as theorists Deleuze and Guattari, Michel Foucault, Sigmund Freud, William James, and W.

Neuware - Explores the force of aesthetic experience and the role space plays in political thinking Focusing on the works of Hannah Arendt, Jean-Luc Nancy, and Jacques Rancière, Space, Politics and Aesthetics reveals the aesthetic premises that underlie their political thinking, and demonstrates how their conceptualisations of politics depend on the construction and apprehension of worlds through spatial forms and distributions. Mustafa Dikeç explores these dimensions of the political and argues that politics is about forms of perceiving the world and modes of relating to it, with space as a form of appearance and a mode of actuality, and the disruption of such forms and modes as the sublime element in politics. ? Provides a detailed investigation of politics and the political in the work of Hannah Arendt, Jean-Luc Nancy, and Jacques Rancière ? Explores the political aesthetic of these thinkers, focusing on their Kantian legacies ? Proposes new ways of thinking about the relationship between space and politics Mustafa Dikeç is Professor at the Ecole d'urbanisme de Paris. He is the author of Badlands of the Republic: Space, Politics and Urban Policy (2007, Blackwell), and co-editor of Extending Hospitality: Giving Space, Taking Time (2009, Edinburgh University Press).

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - While the field of haptic aesthetics has received significant critical interest in recent years, the intimate connection between touching and writing remains neglected. Contributing to current debates in deconstruction and psychoanalysis, Tactile Poetics: Touch and Contemporary Writing offers a new critical perspective on the relationship between text and tact. Through close readings of authors such as John Berger, Elizabeth Bowen, Anne Carson, Siri Hustvedt, and Michael Ondaatje, the volume proposes a theory of 'tactile poetics' in order to examine the co-implication of touch and writing in a range of genres including the novel, poetry, short fiction, autobiography and film. Drawing on insights from Didier Anzieu, Hélène Cixous, Jacques Derrida, Sigmund Freud and Jean-Luc Nancy, Tactile Poetics examines the 'skin-effects' of language and the 'law of tact' that always interrupts contact. Celebrating the intersections between creative and critical writing and exploring diverse literary textures, this book deviates from grasping and licking to false hands and phantom limbs, considering the effects of spectral contact on how we 'hand on' ways of thinking about reading and writing.

Neuware - 'This intellectually rigorous and stimulating book is unique, important, and ground breaking.' - Frank Bechhofer, Scottish Affairs'In this acute, sympathetic, trenchant book, Henderson emerges as both a crucial figure in Scottish cultural politics and an internationally resonant intellectual. Modernist poet, folk revivalist, cultural collector, polemicist, impresario, thinker, comrade: Henderson contained multitudes. Gibson brilliantly tracks his multiple commitments and makes a strong case for him as a theorist and not only a collector of 'culture'. Henderson and his work have long been due a rich and full appraisal: here it is.'Maureen N. McLane, New York UniversityHamish Henderson and the search for the radical voice of the people in modern ScotlandHow might the alienation of the artist in modern Scotland be overcome How do you incite a popular folk revival Can a poet truly speak with the 'voice of the people' And what happens to the writer who rejects print culture in favour of becoming Anon. The life and times of Hamish Henderson (1919-2002) - polymath, scholar, author and folk-hero - poses, and helps us to answer, these questions. This book examines his life-long commitment to finding a form of artistic expression suitable for post-war Europe. Though Henderson is a major figure in Scottish cultural history, his reputation is largely maintained in anecdote and song. This study explores his ideas in their intellectual, cultural and political contexts.Henderson envisaged the role of the artist as one caught between an absolute submission to the collective tide of human experience and the need to absorb and recreate this collective force according to an individual or personal credo. All of his works - in war poetry, song collection, folklore scholarship, folksong revivalism, literary translation and some vicious public debates - are underpinned by an ambitious moral-intellectual programme: to reintegrate the artist in society.Corey Gibson is a lecturer in English Literature at the University of Groningen, Netherlands. His work on Hamish Henderson earned him the Ross Roy Medal for excellence in Scottish Literary Research. In 2013 he was the US-UK Fulbright Commission Scottish Studies Scholar at the University of California, Berkeley.Shortlisted for the 2015 Saltire Research Book of the Year.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Edinburgh Handbook of Evaluative Morphology Edited by Nicola Grandi & Livia Körtvélyessy With examples drawn from over 200 world languages, this ground-breaking volume presents a state-of-the-art overview of evaluative morphology. Offering an innovative approach to major theoretical questions, the Edinburgh Handbook analyses the field from a cross-linguistic perspective, considering semantic, pragmatic and sociolinguistic aspects, as well as word-formation processes and evaluative morphology acquisition. Complementing the synchronic approach with a diachronic perspective, this study establishes a picture of intriguing diversity in evaluative morphology manifestations, and offers a comprehensive analysis of the situation in dozens of languages and language families. Nicola Grandi is Associate Professor of Linguistics at the Department of Classic Philology and Italian Studies of the University of Bologna, Italy. Lívia Körtvélyessy is Associate Professor at P. J. Safárik University, Kosice, Slovakia.
