Strukturalisme og poststrukturalisme

NEIN. Et Manifest er en filosofisk undersøgelse af vor tids mest presserende spørgsmål. Og mindst presserende. Inspireret af Nietzsches, Karl Kraus’, Walter Benjamins og Theodor W. Adornos aforismer, genopfinder Jarosinski filosofien for en verden, der er dømt til distraktion. Det er kritisk teori og filosofi for mennesker, der ikke kan koncentrere sig om kritisk teori og filosofi.NEIN. Et Manifest er ganske unik i form og indhold. Den forener korte, pointerende, filosofiske tekster med livets væsentligste – og uvæsentligste emner. Den blander populærkultur med akademisk lingo. Det er kritiske aforismer om dette og hint, skrevet med lyrisk tæft og intellektuelt overskud. Det er Frankfurterskolen møder Twitter, det er lyrisk, tysk og humoristisk-kritisk. Det er Brinkmann møder Adorno.

A brilliant study of violent self-defense in the struggle for liberation by an award-winning philosopher

Hvad ville historien være uden dens arkiver, dens museer og samlinger, dens skrifter og traditioner for fortolkning? Ville der overhovedet eksistere sådan noget som historie? Den berømte og berygtede franske filosof Jacques Derrida opsporer i et af sine mest kendte værker, som nu foreligger på dansk, netop denne problematik.Med sin dekonstruktive metode optrevler Derrida problematikken indefra med en bog, som udover de centrale teser stort set kun består af metatekst – i form af en indledning, et forord, en exergue og et efterskrift. I anledning af den danske oversættelse er tilføjet et forord af oversætteren Frederik-Emil Friis Jakobsen og et efterord af Torsten Andreasen.»Intet er i dag mere uklart og mere foruroligende end det begreb, der er arkiveret i ordet arkiv. […] Arkivets uro stammer fra en arkivfeber, fra en mal d’archive. Vi er »en mal d’archive«: Vi er i arkivforlegenhed. […] Det er endeløst, uophørligt, at søge efter arkivet, dér hvor det undslipper os. Det er at forfølge det, selv når der er for meget af det, dér hvor noget i det anarkiverer sig. Det er at lade sig drage mod det af et tvingende, gentagende og nostalgisk begær, et uundertrykkeligt begær efter en tilbagevenden til oprindelsen, en hjemve, en nostalgi om at vende tilbage til den absolutte begyndelses mest arkaiske sted.«

An impassioned philosophical celebration of the multiple dimensions of contemporary cuteness.Involuntarily sucked into the forcefield of Cute, Amy Ireland and Maya B. Kronic decided to let go, give in, let the demon ride them, and make an accelerationism out of it—only to realize that Cute opens a microcosmic gate onto the transcendental process of acceleration itself.Joining the swarming e-girls, t-girls, NEETS, anons, and otaku who rescued accelerationism from the double pincers of media panic and academic buzzkill by introducing it to big eyes, fluffy ears, programming socks, and silly memes, they discover that the objects of cute culture are just spinoffs of an accelerative process booping us from the future, rendering us all submissive, breedable, helpless, and cute in our turn. Cute comes tomorrow, and only anastrophe can make sense of what it will have been doing to us.Evading all discipline, sliding across all possible surfaces, Cute Accelerationism embraces every detail of the symptomatology, aetiology, epidemiology, history, biology, etymology, topology, and even embryology of Cute, joyfully burrowing down into its natural, cultural, sensory, sexual, subjective, erotic, and semiotic dimensions in order to sound out the latent spaces of this Thing that has soft-soaped its way into human culture.Traversing tangents on natural and unnatural selection, runaway supernormalisation, the collective self-transformation of genderswarming cuties, the hyperstitional cultures of shojo and otaku, denpa and 2D love, and the cute subworlds of aegyo and meng, moé and flatmaxxing, catboys and dogon eggs, bobbles and gummies, vore machines and partial objects, BwOs and UwUs…glomping, snuggling, smooshing and squeeeeing their way toward the event horizon of Cute, donning cat ears and popping bubbles as they go, in this untimely philosophical intensification of an omnipresent phenomenon, having surrendered to the squishiest demonic possession, like, ever, two bffs set out in search of the transcendental shape of cuteness only to realize that, even though it is all around us, we do not yet know what Cute can do.Seriously superficial and bafflingly coherent, half erudite philosophical treatise, half dariacore mashup, 100 percent cutagion, this compact lil’ textual machine is a meltdown and a glow up, as well as a twizzled homage to Deleuze and Guattari’s A Thousand Plateaus. Welcome to the kawaiizome: nothing uncute makes it out of the near future, and the cute will very soon no longer be even remotely human.

Argues that friendship is the gift of a world that is not one's own and that transforms one's world in unforseeable ways.

This book investigates how African authors and artists have explored themes of the future and technology within their works.Afrofuturism was coined in the 1990s as a means of exploring the intersection of African diaspora culture with technology, science and science fiction. However, this book argues that literature and other arts within Africa have always reflected on themes of futurism, across diverse forms of speculative writing (including science fiction), images, spirituality, myth, magical realism, the supernatural, performance and other forms of oral resources. This book reflects on themes of African futurism across a range of literary and artistic works, also investigating how problems such as racism, sexism, social injustice and postcolonialism are reflected in these narratives. Chapters cover authors, artists, movements and performers such Wole Soyinka, Ben Okri, Ngugi wa Thiong'o, Elechi Amadi, Mazisi Kunene, Nnedi Okorafor, Lauren Beukes, Leslie Nneka Arimah and the New African Movement. The book also includes a range of original interviews with prominent authors and artists, including Tanure Ojaide, Lauren Beukes, Patricia Jabbeh Wesley, Benjamin Kwakye, Ntongela Masilela and Bruce Onobrakpeya.Interdisciplinary in its approach, this book will be an important resource for researchers across the fields of African literature, philosophy, culture and politics.

An indispensable resource for anyone in Philosophy studying and researching Bergson's work, The Bergsonian Mind will also interest those in related disciplines such as Literature, Religion, Sociology and French studies.

Ricardo Piglias Kriminalromane haben das Genre kritisch beleuchtet und erneuert. Die Untersuchung kapitalismus- und erkenntniskritischer Perspektiven in Plata quemada, Blanco nocturno und El camino de Ida verbindet literaturtheoretische mit -historischen Reflexionen. Ausgehend von der These, dass die bürgerlich-kapitalistische Gesellschaft sowie Diskurse um Aufklärung und Positivismus zentrale Entstehungsbedingungen des Kriminalromans sind, wird nach den Möglichkeiten und Grenzen ihrer Kritik sowie einer dem Genre inhärenten Dialektik gefragt. Mithilfe marxistischer und poststrukturalistischer Ansätze werden Piglias Romane vor dem Hintergrund des argentinischen Kontexts als postmoderne littérature engagée analysiert.Die Arbeit wurde 2023 mit dem Elise Richter-Preis des Deutschen Romanistenverbands ausgezeichnet.

This interdisciplinary reference work is a substantive contribution to the contemporary humanities and offers a navigational tool to reflect the value and relevance of the humanities to knowledge and society, with a special focus on the European region at large. The future-oriented approach of the contributors highlights the positive and multidimensional impact of the humanities on core areas of human experience. New ethical social imaginaries, gendered scenarios and spaces of decolonial transculturality are explored. They propose innovative tools to increase collective awareness of forms of injustice, exclusion, and the suffering of both the human and the non-human inhabitants of this planet. The result is a comprehensive overview of the way in which the humanities is currently transforming from the inside while responding to major political challenges of the 21st century. Key features: - Offers a timely map of important trends written by internationally grounded experts - Presents emerging key sub-areas of the humanities including digital humanities, intercultural humanities, environmental humanities and medical humanities - Combines theoretical speculation with policy-making pragmatism - Critically questions the implicit foundation of the humanities, asking if the notion of 'the human' and their claims to universality are too narrow and in need of rethinking.

Philosophy at the end of the world

Argues that friendship is the gift of a world that is not one's own and that transforms one's world in unforseeable ways.

Rethinking objectivity and fiction in contemporary philosophy and psychoanalysis - beyond the realism-nominalism divide When it comes to the question of objectivity in current philosophical debates, there is a growing prominence of two opposite approaches: nominalism and realism. By absolutising intersubjectivity, the nominalist approach is moving towards the abandonment of the very notion of truth and objective reality. For its part, the realist approach insists on the category of the object-in-itself as irreducible to any kind of subjective mediation. Despite their seeming mutual exclusiveness, both approaches share a fundamental presupposition, namely, that of a neat separation between the spheres of subjectivity and objectivity as well as between fiction and truth. This collection offers a rethinking of the relationship between objectivity and fiction through engaging with a series of 'objective fictions', including such topics as fetishes, semblances, lies, rumours, sophistry, fantasies and conspiracy theories. It does so through engagement with modern and contemporary philosophical traditions and psychoanalytic theory, with all of these orientations being irreducible to either nominalist or realist approaches.

The first revised English translation of Gombrich: una teoría del arte, by Joaquín Lorda, originally published in 1991 Joaquín Lorda was considered to be one of Gombrich's best students and the person who most fully understood and advanced Gombrich's ideas. This book presents an extensive, expansive and holistic analysis of Gombrich's thought. Built on four paradigms or key ideas that Lorda highlights: - Science, Joke, Play and Rhetoric, - it sheds new light on Gombrich as a thinker, turning his ideas into a workable theory of art that can be used as an instrument to examine both the history of world art and architecture and its current practice. Joaquín Lorda (1955-2016) was Professor at the School of Architecture at the University of Navarre, Spain.

Politik er i dag de paranoides spil: fra paranoiaen over at blive cancelled af identitetspolitikkens forkæmpere til paranoiaen over den københavnske kulturelites magt. ”Bare fordi du er paranoid, betyder det ikke, at du ikke har fjender,” sagde Henry Kissinger.Dette essay om paranoide læsemåder er et af de bedste redskaber til at forstå samtidens politiske klima. Hvorfor foregriber så mange politiske positioner i dag den smerte, som de samtidig forsøger at begrænse eller undgå? Hvorfor smitter denne form for politik så voldsomt, og hvorfor tager den så ofte afsløringens form?Udover titelessayet indeholder denne bog også essayet Queer og Nu, som er en refleksion over at blive latterliggjort for sin forskning i pressen, og samtidig leve med døden helt tæt på kroppen i form af en brystkræft-diagnose. Det er den første enkeltstående udgivelse af Eve K. Sedgwick på dansk, som sammen med Judith Butler er en af queerteoriens grundlæggere.
