  • Taylor & Francis Ltd Fanon Phenomenology and Psychology

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisFanon, Phenomenology, and Psychology is the first edited collection dedicated to exploring the explicitly phenomenological foundations underlying Frantz Fanonâs most important insights. Featuring contributions from many of the worldâs leading scholars on Fanon, this volume foregrounds a series of crucial phenomenological topics â inclusive of the domains of experience, structure, embodiment, and temporality â pertaining to the analysis and interrogation of racism and anti-Blackness. Chapters highlight and expand Fanonâs ongoing importance to the discipline of psychology while opening compelling new perspectives on psychopathology, decolonial praxis, racialized time, whiteness, Black subjectivity, the racial ontologizing of the body, systematic structures of racism and resulting forms of trauma, Black Consciousness, and Africana phenomenology. In an era characterized by resurgent forms of anti-Blackness and racism, this book is essential reading for students, scholars, and activists who remain inspired by Fanonâs legacy. Trade Review"Remarkable for its scope and acuity, impressively lucid and well informed, this book successfully locates Fanon in an established phenomenological tradition. In the process, it fundamentally alters the way we read the Martinican psychiatrist's oeuvre. Its succession of incisive and persuasive essays will quickly become a source for debate, elaboration, or contention." — Achille Mbembe, author of Necropolitics"After the post-Floyd summer of 2020, the global significance of race, racism, and ongoing anti-Blackness in particular has become impossible to deny, underlining the continuing, indeed enhanced, relevance of the imperishable texts of Frantz Fanon. This invaluable collection brings together new and classic analyses that should consolidate Fanon’s stature both as a founder of ‘critical’ phenomenology and a pathbreaker in the theorization of an anti-essentialist, politically informed and socially contextualized, human psychology." — Charles Mills, author of The Racial Contract and Black Rights/White Wrongs: The Critique of Racial Liberalism...? "On a foray for love, theorists/psychologists edited this excellent collection, Fanon, Phenomenology, and Psychology. Anchored with a beautiful introduction, this book honors an ancestor who was and remains ‘as much psychiatrist as revolutionary.’ As we struggle for self-possession and protection from varied forms of lynching and disappearance, we can find respite here, and deep engagement with the language of struggle and liberation." — Joy James, editor of Imprisoned Intellectuals and author of Seeking the Beloved Community"Urgent, necessary, all-too-timely, Fanon, Phenomenology, and Psychology offers us not one but multiple Fanons for this contemporary moment. Within its pages we meet Fanon the psychiatrist, Fanon the phenomenologist, Fanon the freedom fighter and activist, Fanon the chronicler of colonialism, Fanon the diagnostician of racism, Fanon the theorist of time. The cumulative power and promise of the essays gathered here cannot be over-stated. This is just a dazzlingly exciting adventure in reading and thinking." — Ann Pellegrini, author of Performance Anxieties: Staging Psychoanalysis, Staging Race"This ‘must read’ volume, edited by three phenomenological psychologists, claims Frantz Fanon’s right place at the gateway to critical and decolonial phenomenological psychologies. The book’s chapters, written by world renowned Fanon scholars, make clear Fanon’s importance for critiquing the whiteness of Eurocentric depth psychologies, while opening potential pathways to transdisciplinary psychologies of liberation that begin—as they must—with the racism that sustains coloniality." — Mary Watkins, author of Mutual Accompaniment and the Creation of the Commons and co-author of Toward Psychologies of Liberation"What more relevant text for our troubled times of racialised pandemic, Black Lives Matter mobilisations after the murder of George Floyd and the storming by White supremacists of Capitol Hill? In this volume, Fanon’s contributions to and as phenomenology are explicated, assessed and shown to be unique and vital (in multiple senses). This bumper collection of new, specially written and classic papers on Fanon underscore why and how we need Fanon now, to think and rethink racialisation, embodiment and action." — Erica Burman, author of Fanon, Education, Action: Fanon as Method"Whether in the bottom of slave ships, the streets of North America, or within the context of a global Blackness, we are painfully aware of the indelible cries of Black bodies: ‘I can't breathe!’ That cry, that lament, speaks to an anti-Black world within which Frantz Fanon had higher hopes, where he desired to move with effortless grace and help to build the world together, but was constantly denied. Yet, Fanon knew that his racialized predicament, his deep alienation, was ‘not an individual question.’ Fanon, Phenomenology, and Psychology, interdisciplinary at its core, and at times even de-disciplinary, is a discursively diverse text that not only reminds us of the deep significance of Fanon's contestation of disciplinary purity or methodological fetishization, but it is a text that uncovers the persistent haunting reality of sociogenic anti-Black racism, where the Black body remains accused, where amputations and excisions are experienced, where the Black body is rendered ‘an object among other objects,’ where Black life continues to be disposable, fungible, and ungrievable. This critically engaging and urgent text that you hold, one that refuses to reduce the complexity of Fanon and his corpus to a singular conceptual orientation, and one that therefore recognizes the generativity of reading Fanon through multiple and overlapping frameworks, especially psychology and phenomenology, demonstrates the revolutionary force of Fanon's work for our contemporary mourning and his aspirations for a new humanism that refuses 'to accept the present as definitive.’" — George Yancy, author of Backlash: What Happens When We Talk Honestly About Race in AmericaTable of ContentsIntroduction: Of Bodies That Matter: Fanon, Phenomenology, and Psychology; Part I: Situating Fanon’s Phenomenology; 1.

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisThe Routledge Companion to Politics and Literature in English provides an interdisciplinary overview of the vibrant connections between literature, politics, and the political. Featuring contributions from 44 scholars across a variety of disciplines, the collection is divided into five parts: Connecting Literature and Politics; Constituting the Polis; Periods and Histories; Media, Genre, and Techne; and Spaces. Organized around familiar conceptssuch as humans, animals, workers, empires, nations, and statesrather than theoretical schools, it will help readers to understand the ways in which literature affects our understanding of who is capable of political action, who has been included in and excluded from politics, and how different spaces are imagined to be political. It also offers a series of engagements with key moments in literary and political history from 1066 to the present in order to assess and reassess the utility of conventional modes of periodization.Table of ContentsIntroduction, PART I Connecting Literature and Politics, 1.

  • Taylor & Francis Neoliberalism and Cyberpunk Science Fiction

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisCaroline Alphin presents an original exploration of biopolitics by examining it through the lens of cyberpunk science fiction.Comprised of five chapters, Neoliberalism and Cyberpunk Science Fiction is guided by four central themes: biopolitics, intensification, resilience, and accelerationism. The first chapters examine the political possibilities of cyberpunk as a genre of science fiction and introduce one kind of neoliberal subject, the self-monitoring cyborg. These are individuals who join fitness/health tracking devices and applications to their body to self-cultivate. Here, Alphin presents concrete examples of how fitness trackers are a strategy of neoliberal governmentality under the guise of self-cultivation. Moving away from Foucaultâs biopolitics to themes of intensity and resilience, Alphin draws largely from William Gibsonâs Neuromancer, Neal Stephensonâs Snow Crash, Richard K. Morganâs Altered Carbon, along with the film BladeTrade Review"Intense burn out is ironically the goal of neoliberal biopolitics – this innovative book on Cyberpunk explores the temporality between the promises and the failures letting people slowly die in the accelerating shadows…" Geoffrey Whitehall, Acadia University "Caroline Alphin’s book is on the leading edge of international political theory. It aptly tells the story of how neoliberalism produces new forms of social, technological, and embodied existence. Alphin pushes the reader to ask difficult questions about the taken for granted ways in which neoliberalism perpetuates itself via mechanisms ranging from the fitbit to the biohacker. It is an impressive book, which should be read by anyone interested in understanding the politics of modern cityscapes." Jessica Auchter, Associate Professor of Political Science, University of Tennessee Chattanooga Table of ContentsIntroduction: Living on the Edge of Burnout 1. The Neoliberal Science Fictions of Cyberpunk 2. Self-Monitoring as Instrumentalized Self-Cultivation 3. Subtle State Killing as a Mode of Neoliberal Governmentality 4.
