In this risk-taking book, a major feminist philosopher engages the work of the actor and director who has progressed from being the stereotypical "man's man" to pushing the boundaries of the very genres--the Western, the police thriller, the war or boxing movie--most associated with American masculinity. Cornell's highly appreciative encounter with the films directed by Clint Eastwood revolve around the questions "What is it to be a good man?" and "What is it to be, not just an ethical person, but specifically an ethical man?" Focusing on Eastwood as a director rather than as an actor or...

At the Heart of Freedom: Feminism, Sex, and Equality
ISBN: 9780691028965 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. How can women create a meaningful and joyous life for themselves? Is it enough to be equal with men? In this provocative and wide-ranging book, Drucilla Cornell argues that women should transcend the quest for equality and focus on what she shows is a far more radical project: achieving freedom. Cornell takes us on a highly original exploration of what it would mean for women politically, legally, and culturally, if we took this ideal of freedom seriously--if, in her words, we recognized that "hearts starve as well as bodies." She takes forceful and sometimes surprising stands on such... How can women create a meaningful and joyous life for themselves? Is it enough to be equal with men?

Law and Revolution in South Africa: Ubuntu, Dignity, and the Struggle for Constitutional Transformation
ISBN: 9780823257577 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The relation between law and revolution is one of the most pressing questions of our time. As one country after another has faced the challenge that comes with the revolutionary overthrow of past dictatorships, how one reconstructs a new government is a burning issue. South Africa, after a long and bloody armed struggle and a series of militant uprisings, negotiated a settlement for a new government and remains an important example of what a substantive revolution might look like. The essays collected in this book address both the broader question of law and revolution and some of the...

Symbolic Forms for a New Humanity: Cultural and Racial Reconfigurations of Critical Theory
ISBN: 9780823232512 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In dialogue with afro-caribbean philosophy, this book seeks in Cassirer's philosophy of symbolic forms a new vocabulary for approaching central intellectual and political issues of our time. For Cassirer, what makes humans unique is that we are symbolizing creatures destined to come into a world through varied symbolicforms; we pluralistically work with and develop these forms as we struggle to come to terms with who we are and our place in the universe.This approach can be used as a powerful challenge to hegemonic modes of study that mistakenly place the Western world at the center of...

This new edition of Drucilla Cornell's highly acclaimed book includes a substantial new introduction by the author, which situates the book within current feminist debates. In Beyond Accommodation, Drucilla Cornell offers a highly original vision of what feminist theory can give contemporary women. She challenges essentialist and naturalist accounts of feminine sexuality, arguing that any attempt to affirm woman's value and difference by either emphasizing her maternal role or repudiating the feminine only entraps women, once again, in a container that curtails feminine sexual difference,...

Since the Second World War, dignity has increasingly been recognized as an important moral and legal value.

Just Cause: Freedom, Identity, and Rights
ISBN: 9780847697915 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. One of the distinguishing features of Drucilla Cornell's work is its emphasis on the significance of ideals. The essays collected here examine how the ideals of freedom and equality associated with the democratic revolutions of the West have survived the challenges of twentieth century critiques. Cornell argues that, far from threatening these ideals, feminism, race theory and other new theories have deepened their meaning and so allowed them to survive. In particular, Cornell here engages with issues surrounding representation and rights. Drawing on her experiences as a union organizer, she...

Albie Sachs and Transformation in South Africa: From Revolutionary Activist to Constitutional Court Judge
ISBN: 9780415735162 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Many critical theorists talk and write about the day after the revolution, but few have actually participated in the constitution of a revolutionary government. Emeritus Justice Albie Sachs was a freedom fighter for most of his life. He then played a major role in the negotiating committee for the new constitution of South Africa, and was subsequently appointed to the new Constitutional Court of South Africa. Therefore, the question of what it means to make the transition from a freedom fighter to a participant in a revolutionary government is not abstract, in Hegel s sense of the word, it...

Moral Images of Freedom: A Future for Critical Theory
ISBN: 9780847697939 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 188 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Moral Images of Freedom resurrects the Kantian project of affirmative political philosophy and traces its oft-forgotten influences found in thinkers like Martin Heidegger, Ernst Cassirer, Frantz Fanon, and Walter Benjamin. As a whole the book attempts to respond to nihilistic claims about the empty purpose of critical theory in a world so utterly captured by violence in all of its worst forms: economic, social, political, and cultural. Instead, this book draws together a sweeping thread of hope in the varied symbolic forms of freedom persistent throughout the work of a broader range of...
