Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Deciding what is and what is not political is a fraught, perhaps intractably opaque matter. Just who decides the question; on what grounds; to what ends-these seem like properly political questions themselves. Deciding what is political and what is not can serve to contain and restrain struggles, make existing power relations at once self-evident and opaque, and blur the possibility of reimagining them differently. Political Concepts seeks to revive our common political vocabulary-both everyday and academic-and to do so critically. Its entries take the form of essays in which each contributor presents her or his own original reflection on a concept posed in the traditional Socratic question format 'What is X ' and asks what sort of work a rethinking of that concept can do for us now. The explicitness of a radical questioning of this kind gives authors both the freedom and the authority to engage, intervene in, critique, and transform the conceptual terrain they have inherited. Each entry, either implicitly or explicitly, attempts to re-open the question 'What is political thinking ' Each is an effort to reinvent political writing. In this setting the political as such may be understood as a property, a field of interest, a dimension of human existence, a set of practices, or a kind of event. Political Concepts does not stand upon a decided concept of the political but returns in practice and in concern to the question 'What is the political ' by submitting the question to a field of plural contention. The concepts collected in Political Concepts are 'Arche' (Stathis Gourgouris), 'Blood' (Gil Anidjar), 'Colony' (Ann Laura Stoler), 'Concept' (Adi Ophir), 'Constituent Power' (Andreas Kalyvas), 'Development' (Gayatri Spivak), 'Exploitation' (Étienne Balibar), 'Federation' (Jean Cohen), 'Identity' (Akeel Bilgrami), 'Rule of Law' (J. M. Bernstein), 'Sexual Difference' (Joan Copjec), and 'Translation' (Jacques Lezra).

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This essay collection further familiarizes the English-speaking world with the work of late German media scholar Friedrich Kittler. It features well-established and emergent scholars who present investigations that traverse all of Kittler's major phases, from early studies of German romanticism to his recent volumes on ancient Greece.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - What if our existence is a product of its interruptions What if the words that structure our lives are themselves governed by the periods and commas that bring them to a close, or our images by the cinematic cuts that mark them off Are we, like Chekhov's clerk, who dreams of being pursued by angry exclamation marks, or Scorsese's Jake LaMotta, bloodied by one violently edited fight after another, the products of punctuation-or as Peter Szendy asks us to think of it, punchuation Of Stigmatology elaborates for the first time a general theory of punctuation. Beginning with punctuation marks in the common sense, Peter Szendy goes on to trace the effects of punctuation more broadly, arguing that looking and hearing are not passive acts of reception, but themselves punctuate the images and sounds they take in. Szendy reads an astonishing range of texts and traditions, from medical auscultation to literature (Chekhov, Sterne, Kafka), philosophy (Hegel, Nietzsche, Heidegger, Derrida), psychoanalysis (Lacan), and film (Raging Bull, The Trial, Fight Club).Repeatedly, what Szendy finds in these works is a punctuation that marks experience itself, that seeks (and ultimately fails) to bind the subject to itself. This is the stigmatology of the punctuation mark on the page that structures texts from ancient to digital, as well as the punchuation of experience, as though at the hands of a boxer.
