Dialectic and Paradox: Configurations of the Third in Modernity
ISBN: 9783034307147 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 259 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. From Hegel to the present, the humanities and social sciences have revealed the volatile power of third agency. Systems of thought and practice are often disturbed by the presence of a figure that exceeds traditional binary oppositions. The articles in this volume trace the role of these triadic figures across a broad range of discourses in social theory, philosophy and science studies. Modernity emerges as a mode of system-formation, perpetuation and self-reflection that is deeply rooted in the dynamics of dialectic and paradox.
The volume offers an approach which is both systematic and... From Hegel to the present, the humanities and social sciences have revealed the volatile power of third agency. Systems of thought and practice are of...

Transformations of the German Novel: Simplicissimus in Eighteenth-Century Adaptations
ISBN: 9783039118960 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 255 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. At the beginning of the eighteenth century, the German literary establishment considered the novel the contemptible entertainment of the uneducated. By the end of the century, the novel had eclipsed the epic poem as the most appropriate genre for depicting humankind and its preoccupations. The story of the novel s emergence as a respected and productive artistic genre is intimately bound up with the vicissitudes of the most popular of all German baroque works, Hans Jacob Christoffel von Grimmelshausen s (1621/22-1676) Der abentheurliche Simplicissimus: Teutsch (1668/69). Between 1756...

Nietzsche on Language, Consciousness, and the Body
ISBN: 9780252029707 / Angielski / Twarda / 2005 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. From the early 1870s through the 1880s, language, consciousness, and the body stood as cornerstones of the philosophical project that culminated in Nietzsche's "anthropology of knowledge." Asserting both the timeliness and lasting value of Nietzsche's writings during this period, Christian J. Emden argues that they were not based on a specific understanding of the philosophy of language or a specific conception of truth but were instead shaped by his interest in the theory of knowledge, philological scholarship, and contemporary life sciences. Leveraging a truly astounding command of...

Other People's Pain: Narratives of Trauma and the Question of Ethics
ISBN: 9783034302609 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 244 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. How do we approach other people s pain? This question is of crucial importance to the humanities, particularly literary and cultural studies, whenever they address narratives of terror and genocide, injustice and oppression, violence and trauma. Talking about other people s pain inevitably draws attention to the ethical dimension involved in acknowledging stories and histories of violence while avoiding an appropriation by the reading public, literary critics or cultural historians alike of the traumatic experiences themselves. The question of how to do justice to the other s pain calls for...

Zeitgeschichten: Die Berliner Uebergangsjahre: Zur Verortung Der Stadt Nach Der Mauer
ISBN: 9783039110872 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 2007 / 241 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Berlin spielt seit 1989 bei den Diskussionen um das Thema Metropole eine besondere Rolle. Die mit dem Fall der Mauer einsetzenden Ubergangsjahre waren vom Wissen um einen allgegenwartigen Wandel und von der besonderen, wenn auch vorubergehenden Qualitat des Unfertigen gepragt. In diesem Zeitraum sind fur Berlin neue Erzahlzusammenhange bezeichnend, die einerseits im Kontext der Stadtgeschichte zu verstehen sind und sich andererseits gezielt mit der Gegenwart auseinandersetzen. Der Entwurf temporarer Berlinbilder trug zur neuerlichen Verortung der vormals politisch determinierten Stadt...

Constellations of Reading: Walter Benjamin in Figures of Actuality
ISBN: 9783039118601 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 392 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. How to read Walter Benjamin today? This book argues that the proper way is through an approach which recognizes and respects his own peculiar theorization of the act of reading and the politics of interpretation that this entails. The approach must be figural, that is, focused on images, and driven by the notion of actualization. Figural reading, in the very sui generis Benjaminian way, understands figures as constellations, whereby an image of the past juxtaposes them with an image of the present and is thus actualized. To apply this method to Benjamin s own work...

Memories of 1968: International Perspectives
ISBN: 9783039119318 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 386 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The 1968 events were profoundly international in character, transcending any one national context and interacting with other movements across the world.

The purpose of this volume is to examine the memory of 1968 across different national settings, looking at the cases of France, Germany, Italy, the United States, Mexico and China. How has 1968 been (re)produced and/or contested within different national cultures and how do these...

Romanticism, Reaction and Revolution: British Views on Spain, 1814-1823
ISBN: 9783034322492 / Angielski / Miękka / 2019 / 332 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. When the Peninsular War ended in 1814, the prolonged struggle had all but exhausted both British government finances and the British public's enthusiasm for war. The authoritarian rule of Ferdinand VII aroused long-standing British suspicions of Spanish ways, which emerged in British literary works that depicted a retrograde, fanatical Spain. The tumultuous years following Ferdinand's reign also led to divisions among the European powers, some favouring the restoration of Ferdinand, with the British government and liberal forces vehemently opposed. This diverse volume focuses on...
