Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'A bold, ambitious critique of Left political theory, Concrete Utopianism refuses the stale antinomies of pessimism and optimism, the traps of 'realism, ' progress, even historical time, and instead resuscitates a radical imagination that embraces solidarity and understands the future not as a roadmap but an orientation; not as hope but horizon. Gary Wilder calls on us to think and struggle in the world, with the world, and toward the 'impossible' world we desperately need if we are to secure a possible future . . . together.'--Robin D. G. Kelley, author of Freedom Dreams: The Black Radical Imagination.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'What do a video of a burning American flag, an MRI of the brain, and Raphael's Madonna have in common With stunning breath and erudition, Weigel concretizes what Derrida only suspected, completes what Benjamin was unable to finish, and clarifies what mystified Warburg--revealing the powerful forces hidden at the singular point of culture, which turn cyphers into images, from the banal to the most sacred.'--Jimena Canales, author of Bedeviled: A Shadow History of Demons in Science.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'This concluding volume of the Future of the Religious Past series approaches contemporary religion through the lens of practice: the rituals, performances, devotions, and everyday acts through which humans do religion. In spite of predictions about the inevitability of secularism, religion in the twenty-first century remains stubbornly resilient, and Gestures: The Study of Religion as Practice offers a new vantage point from which to see the religious as a category shaped and reshaped by modernity, and to encounter religion not as something bounded by doctrines and sacred texts, but as lived experience. Twenty-four globally based scholars look to practice to examine such diverse phenomena as human rights, memory, martyrdom, dress and fashion, colonial legacies, blasphemy, mass political action, and the future of secularism'--.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Through a critique of Left realism, culturalism, and pessimism from the standpoint of heterodox Marxism and Black radicalism, Gary Wilder insists that we place questions of solidarity and temporality at the center of Left political thinking. He makes a bold case for embracing a concrete utopian politics of the possible-impossible adequate to current planetary crises.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Grammatology of Images radically alters how we approach images by asking after imaging as such. How does something a-visible get transformed into an image The book illuminates fascinating, unexpected correspondences between premodern and contemporary image-practices, between religion and science, and between things that are and are not understood as art.
