Hate Narratives: Language as a Tool of Intolerance
ISBN: 9783631649923 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 228 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Hate Narratives examines the limits of free speech and focuses on the role of language in creating images of reality, and on language's power to build social relationships based on hatred. The study provides an analysis of language used in totalitarian systems, along with a particular kind of narrative description, namely dogmatic hate narratives, which are used in democratic systems as well. It focuses on the notion that the media and other sources of information create parallel realities, and that facts created by media are translated into social fact. Central to this line of thought...

Fire Backstage: Philip Rieff and the Monastery of Culture
ISBN: 9783631644102 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 157 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. At present, the name and writings of Philip Rieff (1922-2006) hang under a sign of neglect. This book is an attempt to identify precisely what has been lost through this lack of critical attention, arguing that Rieff s lifework marks a singular contribution to the fields of reactionary apocalyptics and social and cultural studies. Providing a working definition for the horizon of contemporary Jewish philosophy, this book also suggests how Rieff uniquely contributes to this field of speculative inquiry with an insufficiently appreciated, but essential, theory of psycho-theology"

The comparative analyses cover all countries of the European Social Survey in the period 2002-2014.

Psychology and Formalisation: Phenomenology, Ethnomethodology and Statistics
ISBN: 9783631726112 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 222 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This book revisits psychology's appropriation of natural scientific methods. The author argues that, in order to overcome ongoing methodological debates in psychology, it is necessary to confront the problem of formalisation contained in the appropriation of methods of natural science. By doing so, the subject matter of psychology - the human being - and questions about the meaning of human existence can be brought to the centre of the discipline. Drawing on Garfinkel, Sacks, Edwards and Potter, the author sees ethnomethodologically informed qualitative methods, which stem from...

Philosophy, Literature, and the Dissolution of the Subject: Nietzsche, Musil, Atay
ISBN: 9783631651681 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 282 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. If philosophy has limits, what lies beyond them? One answer is literature. In this study, rather than seeing literature as a source of illustrations of philosophical themes, the author considers both philosophy and literature as sometimes competing but often complementary ways of making sense of and conveying the character of ethical experience. She does so through an analysis of ideas about language, experience and ethics in the philosophy of Nietzsche, and of the way in which these themes are worked out and elaborated in the writings of Robert Musil and the Turkish novelist Oguz Atay.

Tying Micro and Macro: What Fills Up the Sociological Vacuum?
ISBN: 9783631665930 / Angielski / Twarda / 2018 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This study critically discusses the thesis on the sociological vacuum formulated by Stefan Nowak. The author's aim is to refute the claim that the sociological vacuum is relevant for major social processes occurring in Poland.

The book considers the uses of the sociological vacuum in explaining such phenomena as the Solidarnosc social movement, civil society, social capital, and democracy....
