The Pursuit of Myth in the Poetry of Frank O'Hara, Ted Berrigan and John Forbes traces a tradition of revolutionary self-mythologising in the lives and works of Frank O¿Hara, Ted Berrigan and John Forbes, as a significant trefoil in twentieth-century English language poetry. All three had untimely deaths, excited a collective homage, and developed cult followings that reverberate today. This book tracks the transmission of the poem as charm, the poet as charmer, and the reinstitution of troubadour erotics as a kind of social poetics. Starting with Orpheus, the book refreshes the myth of the poet as mythmaker, examining how myths of ¿self¿ and ¿nation¿ are regenerated for the twenty-first century and how persons-as-myths are made in community through coteries of artists and beyond. Duncan Bruce Hose¿s critical vocabulary, with its nucleus of mythos, searches the edges of phenomenal enquiry, closing in on the work of ¿glamour¿, ¿aurä, ¿charm¿, ¿possession¿, ¿phantasm¿, the ¿daemonic¿, and the logic of haunting in the continuing being of these three poets as ¿charismatic animals¿.

The author claims that concerning the "progress" and "development" of the technoscientific mind in the application of artificial intelligence, the anthropological definition of man has become not only outdated and ineffective, but "man" has become "superfluous" for the logic of the digital age. He develops his argumentative assumptions, critically confronting numerous approaches to this problem, from Heidegger, Severino, G. Anders, Deleuze, Simondon, and Wiener. By showing how the prospects of future philosophy presuppose technological singularity and extropy, the link between posthumanism and transhumanism, the author raises the question of the possibility of thinking differently from metaphysics within the labyrinth of language.

This edited collection explores the visibility of modernization in architecture produced in different capitalist regions across the world and provides readers with a historico-theoretical and historico-geographical discussion.Focusing on a particular building type, an influential architect's work, as well as relevant texts and documents, each chapter addresses the many facets of "delay" which are central to the problematization of capitalism's progressive dissemination of technological and aesthetic regimes of modernism. This collection underlines the centrality of temporality for a critical understanding of colonialism, modernism, and capitalism. The book is primarily concerned with the historical timeline, the tangential point when a nation enters modernization processes. In exploring modernism in diverse regions such as East Asia, Pacific, Eastern Europe, and Iran, each chapter addresses the historiographic and architectonic unfolding of modernization beyond the western hemisphere.¿The exploration of these diverse case-studies will be of interest to students of architecture and researchers working on the collision of temporalities and the subject's critical importance for different country's built-environments.

La libertà non è fare quello che si vuole; è sapere quello che si vuole. Ma questa civiltà ti toglie il tempo di capire se quello che stai facendo è quello che veramente vuoi; di solito lo stai facendo perchè c'è un grande fiume che si chiama "consumismo" che va in quella direzione e tu sei solo uno dei tanti pesci in quel grande fiume. La sottrazione del nostro tempo è mirata a trasformare l'essere umano pensante in consumatore. Il miglior consumatore è quello non pensante; meno si pensa, più si consuma. Non facciamo più le cose per scelta, ma perché le abbiamo fatte ieri e quindi le rifaremo domani; i nostri gesti automatici sono il 90% della giornata. Bisogna riprendersi il tempo e iniziare a chiedersi "perchè?". Perchè compro questo? Perchè faccio questa cosa? Perchè leggo questo libro? Perchè guardo questo programma? Perchè vado a vedere questo film? Lo voglio veramente io o fa parte di un meccanismo? Bisogna chiedersi "perchè" per uscire dalla trappola del "come"; tutti vi dicono come comprare una macchina, nessuno vi spiega perchè ve la dovete comprare. Vi serve davvero? Vale la pena di spendere non solo dei soldi ma anche del tempo per questo? Dobbiamo costruire un futuro fondato sul "perchè", perchè ci hanno dato dei falsi obiettivi, dei falsi sogni. La cosa fondamentale è che qualunque cosa vogliate fare vi chiediate veramente perchè la fate. Se pensate che quello che state facendo, comprando, leggendo, vedendo, sia inutile, non lo fate: toglietelo. In questa maniera vi ritrovate il tempo per fare qualcos'altro di fondamentale.

How Michel Foucault, drugs, California and the rise of neoliberal politics in 1970s France are all connected

Investigates, through a critical exploration of Derrida's political thought, the foundations of modern secular discourse in relation to issues of race and colonialism.

Impedance and Admittance in Desiring Machines is the first book in the three-volume series Artificial Psychology of Desiring Machines. August Moldenhauer explores the relation of Lacan's Graph of Desire as a tool and its potential impact on the future of what has been the domain of the psychiatric for the past 150 years. What are the paths forward for human society for the next millennia? What are the psychiatric implications of the rise of general artificial intelligence? The following series seeks to not only look into the relation of analysand and analyst as operator and interpreter, but the impact this has in not only post-Structuralist affirmations as well as in post-Enlightenment thought and its discrete application in Deep Learning methodologies of Artificial Intelligence. In the long history of psychological and psychoanalytical writing, there have been categorical roles for the subject and the analyst, which are potentially overturned or at least subject to a broader and lay interpretation as a result of the discrete application of both the Freudian and Lacanian toolsets. We find these toolsets applied to the current horizon, across the spectrum of human automatons and sentient machines. Moldenhauer's work stands as a thought experiment and a roadmap for the coming future, both to dial back dehumanizing practices and to apply cautionary measures to mechanistic flows that will eventually reach and frame humanity. Impedance and Admittance in Desiring Machines features a forward by William A Mitchell and is published by pontos fathom press.

A NEW PHILOSOPHY OF EMANCIPATION IN A COMMON WORLD

"The Graham Harman Reader is the essential compendium of shorter works by one of the most influential philosophers of the twenty-first century. The writings in this volume are split into seven chapters. The first concerns Harman's resistance to both downward and upward reductionism. The second chapter contains works that develop the specific fourfold structure of Object-Oriented Ontology. In the third, we find Harman's novel arguments for why causal relations between two entities can only be indirect. The fourth chapter discusses why aesthetics deserves to be called first philosophy. The fifth chapter contains Harman's underrated contributions to ethics and politics, and the sixth deals with epistemology, mind, and science. A concluding seventh chapter contains several previously unpublished writings not available anywhere else. Written in Harman's typical clear and witty style, the Reader is an essential resource for veteran readers of Harman and newcomers alike."-- Back cover.

Hegel und Foucault, in der Forschung meist als Antipoden dargestellt, stellen beide die Frage nach der Geschichtlichkeit des Wissens. Die Studie erarbeitet diese These anhand eines Vergleichs der Phanomenologie des Geistes mit der Archaologie des Wissens: Vollzieht Foucaults diskursive Analytik der Historizitat des Wissens tatsachlich einen vollstandigen Bruch mit Hegels Konzeption der Geschichtlichkeit des Geistes oder bleibt sie ihr formal, inhaltlich oder konzeptuell verpflichtet? Es wird dargelegt, inwiefern beide Konzeptionen kritisch auf Kants Vernunftkritik bezogen sind und in welchen Hinsichten sich ihre Theorien der Wissensentwicklung annahern. Inhaltlich werden Schnittstellen zwischen der phanomenologischen und der archaologischen Darstellung der Wissenskonstellation um 1800 herausgestellt. Im Resultat entsteht ein differenziertes Bild beider Denker im Rahmen einer historisch-systematischen Wissensforschung.

Lé vi-Strauss tried to convince women that we are spoken, exchanged like words; Lacan tried to teach women we can't speak, because the phallus is the original signifier; and then Derrida says that it doesn't matter, it's just talk. Foucault, Derrida, Lacan, Nietzsche: the chant resonates through universities around the world. Have you ever tried to untangle the words of postmodernist theorists? How to find your way through the labyrinth to sense and clarity? If so, this is the book for you.

This study illuminates the complex interplay between Deleuze and Guattari's philosophy and architecture. Presenting their wide-ranging impact on late 20th- and 21st-century architecture, each chapter focuses on a core Deleuzian/Guattarian philosophical concept and one key work of architecture which evokes, contorts, or extends it.Challenging the idea that a concept or theory defines and then produces the physical work and not vice versa, Chris L. Smith positions the relationship between Deleuze and Guattari's philosophy and the field of architecture as one that is mutually substantiating and constitutive. In this framework, modes of architectural production and experimentation become inextricable from the conceptual territories defined by these two key thinkers, producing a rigorous discussion of theoretical, practical, and experimental engagements with their ideas.

How people become "class traitors"

A vital response to the COVID-19 pandemic, this volume connects the neoliberal underpinnings of the pandemic to the philosophy of Deleuze and Guattari. By positioning the worst outcomes of the COVID-19 crisis in terms of neoliberal normativity, contributors argue that we need to understand the pandemic rhizomatically. Construed as an event that deterritorializes the globe, the crisis of the pandemic contains within it the potential for creating new assemblages, alliances, and solidarities to offset the power of the state in building regimes of exclusion, insulation and control. Deleuzo-Guattarian attention towards non-human life finds new meaning in the context of the virus, and our understanding of what constitutes life and inorganic life. Crisis, capitalism, and revolution are read anew through the pandemic and core Deleuzo-Guattarian concepts help to situate the proliferation of new models of mutual aid, sustainability, and care in the context of anti-capitalist critique.

Blanchot and his writings on three major poets, Mallarmé, Hölderlin, and Char, provide a decisive new point of departure for English language criticism of his philosophical writings on narrative in this study by leading Blanchot scholar, Kevin Hart.Connecting his work to later leading figures of 20th-century French philosophy, including Emmanuel Levinas, Simone Weil, and Jacques Derrida, Hart highlights the importance of Jewish philosophy and political thought to his overall conception of literature. Chapters on community and negation reveal Blanchot's emphasis on the relationship between narrative and politics over the more commonly connected narrative and aesthetics. By fully discussing Blanchot's elusive concept of "the Outside" for the first time, this book progresses scholarly understandings of his entire oeuvre further. This central concept engages Franz Rosenzweig's work on Abrahamic faiths, enabling a reckoning on the role of suffering and literature in the wake of the Shoah, with significant implications for Jewish studies more generally.

Communism is not just a dream of a better world - it is also a theory about how we get there
