Автор: Sim Stuart Название: Lyotard and Politics: A Critical Introduction ISBN: 1474456529 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781474456524 Издательство: Bloomsbury Academic Рейтинг: Цена: 5780.00 р. Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ.
Описание: Establishes Lyotard as the most politically committed of contemporary sceptical thinkers
Analyses Lyotard's key concepts in terms of their political implications
Applies the 'little narrative' notion to current ideological struggles
Analyses the role played by relativism in contemporary political thought, particularly Lyotard's sustained attempts to reconcile relativism with value judgement
It is Jean Fran ois Lyotard's political focus that singles him out from his poststructuralist and postmodernist contemporaries. He is invariably 'thinking politics': finding ways of translating philosophical thought into a basis for political action. Stuart Sim explores how Lyotard's brand of pragmatism can provide a focus for political theory and action in our cultural climate, especially in light of the dramatic resurgence of right-wing extremism.

Автор: Calvin Thomas Название: Ten Lessons in Theory: A New Introduction to Theoretical Writing ISBN: 1501383957 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781501383953 Издательство: Bloomsbury Academic Рейтинг: Цена: 17345.00 р. Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ.
Описание: A thoroughly updated edition of the witty and engaging exploration of the history, application, and tenets of literary theory. The first edition of Ten Lessons served as a “literary” introduction to theoretical writing, a strong set of pedagogical prose poems unpacking Lacanian psychoanalysis, continental philosophy, Marxism, cultural studies, feminism, gender studies, and queer theory. Here Calvin Thomas returns to these ten “lessons,” each based on an axiomatic sentence selected from the canons of theory, each exploring the basic assumptions and motivations of theoretical writing. But while every lesson explains the working terms and core tenets of theory, each also attempts to exemplify theory as a “liberatory practice” (bell hooks), to liberate theory as a “practice of creativity” (Foucault) in and of itself. The revised, updated, and expanded second edition, featuring 25% new material, still argues for theoretical writing as a genre of creative writing, a way of engaging in the art of the sentence, the art of making sentences that make trouble, that desire to make radical changes in very fabrication of social reality.Features:- Critical keywords bolded for easy reference- Expanded footnotes with detailed discussion of key concepts- Anti-racist overhaul of each lesson in the wake of Trumpism, Black Lives Matter, and #MeToo- Urgent emphasis on Afropessimism, critical race theory, and other developments in postcolonial Black cultural production- Designed to cross-reference with:Adventures in Theory: A Compact Anthology, edited by Calvin ThomasThe Bloomsbury Handbook of Literary and Cultural Theory, edited by Jeffrey R. Di LeoThe Bloomsbury Handbook to 21st Century Feminist Theory, edited by Robin Truth Goodman
