Structuralism and Post-structuralism Books
Stanford University Press Georges Bataille
Book SynopsisThis book investigates what Bataille, in The Pineal Eye, calls mythological representation: the mythological anthropology with which this unusual thinker wished to outflank and undo scientific (and philosophical) anthropology. Gasché probes that anthropology by situating Bataille''s thought with respect to the quatrumvirate of Schelling, Hegel, Nietzsche, and Freud. He begins by showing what Bataille''s understanding of the mythological owes to Schelling. Drawing on Hegel, Nietzsche, and Freud, he then explores the notion of image that constitutes the sort of representation that Bataille''s innovative approach entails. Gasché concludes that Bataille''s mythological anthropology takes on Hegel''s phenomenology in a systematic fashion. By reading it backwards, he not only dismantles its architecture, he also ties each level to the preceding one, replacing the idealities of philosophy with the phantasmatic representations of what he dubs low materialism. Phenomenology, Gasché argues, tTrade Review"A splendid introduction to a revolutionary thinker, still not as known in this country as he ought to be, written by a renowned commentator on twentieth-century French thought. An important book!"—Arkady Plotnitksy, Purdue University

Stanford University Press Politics of Deconstruction
Book SynopsisA comprehensive presentation of, and engagement with, the philosophy of Jacques Derrida (1930-2004), against the backdrop of the political, cultural, and intellectual currents of his times.Trade Review"Lüdemann's book is a clearly written and remarkably well-researched analysis of Derrida's work. The author presents her views with clarity and at a welcome pace." -- Analysis & Metaphysics"Susanne Lüdemann's introduction to the thought of Jacques Derrida is a praiseworthy model of lucidity and evenhandedness. Her skillful interweaving of close readings of Derrida's texts with broader systematic concerns will not only meet the needs of students coming to the beauty and rigor of Derrida's corpus for the very first time, but also will serve more seasoned scholars seeking innovative engagements with a broad spectrum of Derridean questions.

Duke University Press Althusser and His Contemporaries
Book SynopsisThis thoroughgoing reevaluation of Louis Althusser's philosophical project shows that the theorist was intensely engaged with the work of his contemporaries, particularly Foucault, Derrida, Deleuze, and Lacan.Trade Review"Like no one else can, Warren Montag brings to life in this wonderful book the adventure of Althusser's thought in all its excitement and brilliance."—Michael Hardt, coauthor of Declaration"Warren Montag's reconstruction of the Althusserian journey into the hazardous territories of politics and philosophy gives us a fascinating account of the Marxist philosopher's trajectory, while illuminating his interactions with the major works of 'French theory.' There is no equivalent to Montag's interpretation, which rectifies many conventional notions and combines empathy with absolute mastery of the archive and the conceptual problems at stake. But Althusser and His Contemporaries is also a philosophical creation in its own right, delineating what I am tempted to call a negative eschatology: no doubt one of Althusser's most exciting 'aleatory' heritages."—Étienne Balibar, coauthor of Reading Capital“Beg, steal, borrow, or even buy Warren Montag's book on Althusser, it is very good. While he suggests that there can be no last word on Althusser, Montag's work provides an impressive overview which is a delight to read.” -- Derek Wall * Marx & Philosophy Review of Books *“...this will be a required resource on Althusser for the next generation of readers. Essential.” -- K. Tololyan * Choice *"[T]his is a much-needed book. It extricates Althusser from the ‘gnawing criticism of mice’ and paves the way for a renewed interest in his work, one that takes into account the unpublished materials that emerged after his death – not only to make possible an analysis of the ‘late’ Althusser (the Althusser of the aleatory materialism explicitly elaborated in the 1980s), but also for a reconsideration of the Althusser of the 1960s and 1970s.” -- Stefano Pippa * Radical Philosophy *“For those generally familiar with Althusser and his contemporaries, Montag provides one of the most original and energizing analyses of Althusser’s body of work.” -- Nathaniel Mills * Against the Current *"Montag has produced an excellent contribution to the limited Anglophone literature, re-positioning, or rather re-emphasising, Althusser’s place in contemporary French theory, and he makes a strong case for his enduring relevance." -- Bryant William Sculos * Political Studies Review *Table of ContentsAcknowledgments ix Introduction.

Other thinkers have characterized globalized and financialized capitalism in this way; Neyrat sees it as a dilemma for critical thought as well... In a world where anything can be anyplace, and anything can switch places with anything else, philosophy must insist on its power to be, not everyplace, but noplace. It must never fit in, but always disturb its context, ... maintaining a relation with the very Outside that our dominant social, economic, and intellectual conditions seek to deny or suppress...

Fordham University Press EcoDeconstruction
Book SynopsisEco-Deconstruction marks a new approach to the degradation of the natural environment, including habitat loss, species extinction, and climate change. While the work of French philosopher Jacques Derrida (19302004), with its relentless interrogation of the anthropocentric metaphysics of presence, has already proven highly influential in posthumanism and animal studies, the present volume, drawing on published and unpublished work by Derrida and others, builds on these insights to address the most pressing environmental issues of our time.The volume brings together fifteen prominent scholars, from a wide variety of related fields, including eco-phenomenology, eco-hermeneutics, new materialism, posthumanism, animal studies, vegetal philosophy, science and technology studies, environmental humanities, eco-criticism, earth art and aesthetics, and analytic environmental ethics.

Fordham University Press Systems of Life
Book SynopsisSystems of Life offers a wide-ranging revaluation of the emergence of biopolitics in Europe from the mid eighteenth to the midnineteenth century. In staging an encounter among literature, political economy, and the still emergent sciences of life in that historical moment, the essays collected here reopen the question of how concepts of animal, vegetable, and human life, among other biological registers, had an impact on the Enlightenment project of thinking politics and economics as a joint enterprise. The volume's contributors consider politics, economics, and the biological as distinct, semi-autonomous spheres whose various combinations required inventive, sometimes incomplete, acts of conceptual mediation, philosophical negotiation, disciplinary intervention, or aesthetic representation.Table of ContentsIntroduction: Systems of Life, or Bioeconomic Politics Richard A.

John Wiley and Sons Ltd The Sinthome: The Seminar of Jacques Lacan, Book
Book Synopsis"Ten times, an elderly grey-haired man gets up on the stage. Ten times puffing and sighing. Ten times slowly tracing out strange multi-coloured arabesques that interweave, curling with the meanders of his speech, by turns fluid and uneasy. A whole crowd looks on, transfixed by this enigma-made-man, absorbing the ipse dixit and anticipating some illumination that is taking its time to appear.Non lucet. It’s shady in here, and the Théodores go hunting for their matches. Still, they say, cuicumque in sua arte perito credendum est, whosoever is expert in his art is to be lent credence. At what point is a person mad? The master himself poses the question.That was back in the day. Those were the mysteries of Paris forty years hence.A Dante clasping Virgil’s hand to be led through the circles of the Inferno, Lacan took the hand of James Joyce, the unreadable Irishman, and, in the wake of this slender Commander of the Faithless, made with heavy and faltering step onto the incandescent zone where symptomatic women and ravaging men burn and writhe.An equivocal troupe was in the struggling audience: his son-in-law; a dishevelled writer, young and just as unreadable back then; two dialoguing mathematicians; and a professor from Lyon vouching for the seriousness of the whole affair. A discreet Pasiphaë was being put to work backstage.Smirk then, my good fellows! Be my guest. Make fun of it all! That’s what our comic illusion is for. That way, you shall know nothing of what is happening right before your very eyes: the most carefully considered, the most lucid, and the most intrepid calling into question of the art that Freud invented, better known under its pseudonym: psychoanalysis."—Jacques-Alain MillerTable of ContentsTHE SPIRIT OF THE NODES I.

University of Minnesota Press The Elements of Foucault
Book SynopsisA new conceptual diagram of Foucault’s original vision of the biopolitical order The history around the critical reception of Michel Foucault’s published writings is troubled, according to Gregg Lambert, especially in light of the controversy surrounding his late lectures on biopolitics and neoliberal governmentality. In this book, Lambert’s unique approach distills Foucault’s thought into its most basic components in order to more fully understand its method and its own immanent rules of construction.The Elements of Foucault presents a critical study of Foucault’s concept of method from the earlier History of Sexuality, Volume 1, to his later lectures. Lambert breaks down Foucault’s post-1975 analysis of the idea of biopower into four elements: the method, the conceptual device (i.e., dispositif), the grid of intelligibility, and the notion of “milieu.” Taken together, these elements compose the diagram of Foucault’s early analysis and the emergence of the neoliberal political economy. Lambert further delves into how Foucault’s works have been used and misused over time, challenging the periodization of Foucault’s later thought in scholarship as well as the major and most influential readings of Foucault by other contemporary philosophers—in particular Gilles Deleuze and Giorgio Agamben. The Elements of Foucault is the first generally accessible, yet rigorous and comprehensive, discussion of lectures and major published works of Foucault’s post-1975 theory of biopower and of the major innovation of the concept of dispositif. It is also the first critical work to address the important influence of French philosopher Georges Canghuilhem on Foucault’s thought.Trade Review"In this provocative and highly original text, Gregg Lambert challenges the standard view that Michel Foucault’s works are discontinuous by showing that Foucault does not leave his past ideas behind, but rather incorporates them into new constellations as he confronts new problems. By introducing a fourth element—milieu—into Foucault’s analysis of biopower to supplement the elements of method, dispositif, and grid of intelligibility, Lambert’s self-described mutation of biopower will be required reading for any serious Foucault scholar."—Alan D. Schrift, author of Twentieth-Century French Philosophy: Key Themes and Thinkers"Gregg Lambert's study of Michel Foucault's work from the formulation of the concept of discipline to the notion of biopower demonstrates the inadequacy of interpretations that offer either an evolutionary or devolutionary reading of its movement. He shows that, at every step, Foucault both retains and sets aside concepts elaborated in previous texts and does so in a purely provisional manner, subject to perpetual revision.

Fordham University Press Resounding Events: Adventures of an Academic from
Book SynopsisWinner, David Easton Award for Political Theory, 2023 In Resounding Events, one of the world’s preeminent political theorists reflects on a career as an academic hailing from the working class. From youthful experiences of McCarthyism, to the resurgence of white evangelicalism, to the advent of aspirational fascism and the acceleration of the Anthropocene, Connolly traces a career spent passionately engaged in making a more just, diverse, and equitable world. He surveys the shifting ground upon which politics can be pursued; and he discloses how to be an intellectual in universities that today do not encourage that practice. Far more than a memoir, Resounding Events probes the concerns that have animated Connolly’s work across more than a dozen books by tracing the bumpy imbrications of event, memory and thinking in intellectual life. Connolly experiments with ways to capture various voices that mark a self at any time. An event, as he elaborates it, is what disturbs or inspires thinking as it activates layered sheets of memory. A memory sheet itself assembles recollections, dispositions organized from the past, and vague remains that carry efficacies. Resounding Events shows how resonances between event and memory can help forge new concepts better adjusted to an emergent situation. Addressing tensions between working class experience and norms of the academy, his father’s coma, antiwar protests, the growing disaffection of the white working class, the neoliberalization of the university, climate denialism, and his sister’s experience with workers shifting to Trump, Connolly shows how engaged intellectuals become worthy of the events they encounter.Table of ContentsPrologue: Event, Memory, Thinking . . . | 1 1 Professionals and Intellectuals | 9 2 A Fifty-Yard Dash | 42 3 The Pioneer Valley | 73 4 The Hopkins School of Theory | 108 5 The New Fascist Revolt | 150 Epilogue: Echoes and Spiritualities | 185 Acknowledgments | 193 Notes | 197 Bibliography | 205 Index | 213

Fordham University Press Sentimental Empiricism
Book SynopsisSentimental Empiricism reconsiders the legacy of eighteenth and nineteenth century empiricism and moral sentimentalism for the intellectual formation of the generation of postwar French thinkers whose work came to dominate Anglophone conversations across the humanities under the guise of French theory. Panagia's book first shows what was missed in the reception of this literature in the Anglophone academy by attending to how France's pedagogical milieu plays out church and state relations in the form of educational debates around reading practices, the aesthetics of mimesis, French imperialism, and republican universalism. Panagia then shows how such thinkers as Jean Wahl, Simone de Beauvoir, Gilbert Simondon, Gilles Deleuze, and Michel Foucault develop a sentimental empiricist critical philosophy that distances itself from dialectical critique and challenges the metaphysical premise of inherent relations, especially as it had been articulated in the tradition of Aristotelian scholasti

Liverpool University Press The Wall and the Arcade: Walter Benjamins
Book SynopsisTrue translation is transparent: it does not obscure the original, does not stand in its light, but rather allows pure language, as if strengthened by its own medium, to shine even more fully on the original. This is made possible primarily by conveying the syntax word-for-word; and this demonstrates that the word, not the sentence, is translations original element. For the sentence is the wall in front of the language of the original, and word-for-word rendering the arcade. (Walter Benjamin, The Translators Task) The book centers on Walter Benjamins revolutionary essay The Translators Task (1923) which subverts some widespread assumptions concerning translation: that it serves for communication, that it transfers meaning, that it must not distort the translators own language, and that it is inferior to the original. Benjamin overturns these assumptions by replacing the concept of translation as a merely linguistic operation with a metaphysical or theological concept of the same, derived from Jewish Kabbala and French Symbolisme. In The Translators Task, as well as his earlier essay On Language as such and the Language of Man, he delineates a cosmic linguistic cycle of descent from, and ascent back to, God. The translators task is to promote this ascent by deconstructing his own language in order to advance it towards a final Pure Language. Following an analysis of Benjamins approach, some of its affiliates are discussed in texts by Franz Rosenzweig, Paul Celan (as explicated by Peter Szondi) and Jacques Derrida. Rosenzweig, a translator like Benjamin, is shown to be concerned with more concrete aspects of translation, whereas Derridas autobiographical Monolingualism of the Other, though not focussing on translation, is shown to be an innovative contribution to the metaphysics of translation. Finally, an attempt is made to deal with the question of whether and how this abstract approach can be of help for the concrete practice of Poetry translation. The great poet Hoelderlins German translations of Sophocles testify to the clear, though elusive, practical contribution of this approach and to the importance of Benjamins legacy.

Springer Nature Switzerland AG Das Phänomenologische und das Symbolische: Marc
Book SynopsisGerman:Die vorliegende Studie untersucht die Phänomenologie der Sinnbildung bei Marc Richir. Sie ist die erste in deutscher Sprache vorgelegte Untersuchung zu Richirs Versuch einer Neugründung der Phänomenologie. Dieser Versuch besteht zum einen in der Thematisierung der Phänomenalität der Phänomene als solcher und der Ausarbeitung eines Schematismus der Phänomenalisierung; zum anderen aus der Erweiterung der phänomenologisch-eidetischen Sphäre um die Dimension des Symbolischen. Diese Umgestaltung der phänomenologischen Architektonik führt zu einer umfangreichen Neubewertung phänomenologischer Grundbegriffe: transzendentales Bewusstsein, Zeitkonstitution, phänomenologisches Wesen, phänomenologische Reduktion und Epoché u. v. a. Besonders in der mittleren Schaffensperiode entsteht daraus eine Phänomenologie der Sinnbildung, deren Ziel es ist, das genetische „Abenteuer“ des Sinns zu ergründen. Der Sinn ist gleichsam einer doppelten Gefahr ausgesetzt: einerseits sich in der Proteusartigkeit und Flüchtigkeit der aufkommenden Sinnregungen zu verlieren; andererseits sich im symbolischen Gestell der Stiftungen zu entfremden. Die These der vorliegenden Studie lautet, dass dieses doppelte Schweben der Sinnbildung in der Verschränkung verschiedener Zeitschematismen gründet. Das klassische immanente und prä-immanente Zeitbewusstsein verschränkt sich mit der Proto-Zeitigung und Proto-Räumlichung des Schematismus der Phänomenalisierung und den Zeitkategorien des Symbolischen. Die Integration dieser symbolischen Zeitkategorien – Überstürzung, Wiederholung und Nachträglichkeit als Zeitigungsweisen des Nicht-Erscheinens – in die Phänomenologie führt zu einer enormen Erweiterung der Dialog- und Anschlussfähigkeit derselben. Die vorliegende Untersuchung versucht zudem die theoretischen Kontexte, die diese Umgestaltung der phänomenologischen Architektonik motivieren, zu versammeln. Neben klassischen phänomenologischen Autoren wie Husserl, Heidegger und Merleau-Ponty spielen Denker wie Kant, Freud, Lacan und Derrida eine zentrale Rolle.English:This book examines the phenomenology of sense formation in Marc Richir. It is the first study presented in German on Richir's attempt to refound phenomenology. The thesis of the present study is that in Richir, the double suspension of sense formation is grounded in the entanglement of different temporal schemata. Classical immanent and pre-immanent time consciousness intertwine with the proto-temporalization and proto-spatialization of the schematism of phenomenalization and the time categories of the symbolic. The integration of these symbolic time categories - precipitation, repetition, and retroactivity as modes of temporalization of non-appearance - into phenomenology leads to an enormous expansion of the latter's capability for dialogue and connection. This volume also assembles the theoretical contexts that motivate this transformation. In addition to classical phenomenological authors such as Husserl, Heidegger, and Merleau-Ponty, thinkers such as Kant, Freud, Lacan, and Derrida play an equally central role. This text appeals to students and researchers in the field. Table of ContentsDanksagung Einleitung I. Das Problem des Symbolischen in der Phänomenologie der SinnbildungII.

Diaphanes AG I Was More American than the Americans - Sylvere
Book SynopsisIn the mid-1970s, Sylvère Lotringer created Semiotext(e), a philosophical group that became a magazine and then a publishing house. Since its creation, Semio-text(e) has been a place of stimulating dialogue between artists and philosophers, and for the past fifty years, much of American artistic and intellectual life has depended on it. The model of the journal and the publishing house revolves around the notion of the collective, and Lotringer has rarely shared his personal journey: his existence as a hidden child during World War II; the liberating and then traumatic experience of the collective in the kibbutz; his Parisian activism in the 1960s; his time of wandering, that took him, by way of Istanbul, to the United States; and then, of course, his American years, the way he mingled his nightlife with the formal experimentation he invented with Semiotext(e) and with his classes. Since the early 2010s, Donatien Grau has developed the habit of visiting Lotringer during his trips to Los Angeles; some of their dialogs were published or held in public. This book is an entry into Lotringer's life, his friendships, his choices, and his admiration for some of the leading thinkers of our times. The conversations between Lotringer and Grau show bursts of life, traces of a journey, through texts and existence itself, with an unusual intensity.
