Popular Ghosts: The Haunted Spaces of Everyday Culture
ISBN: 9781441164018 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Haunting has long been a compelling element in popular culture, and has become an influential category in academic engagements with politics, economics, and aesthetics. While recent scholarship has used psychoanalysis and the Gothic as frameworks with which to study haunting, this volume seeks to situate ghosts in the cultural imagination. The chapters in Popular Ghosts are united by the impulse to theorize the cultural work that ghosts do within the trans-historical contexts that comprise our understanding of everyday life. These authors study the theoretical and aesthetic genealogies of...

Representation Matters : (Re)Articulating Collective Identities in a Postcolonial World
ISBN: 9789042028456 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 279 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In the twenty-first century, the terms "representation" and "identity" seem to have gone out of fashion. The essays collected here, however, seek to demonstrate the extent to which they continue to matter in the social, political and cultural struggles waged by marginalized communities across our postcolonial and globalizing world. The volume starts by offering contingent readings of prominent identity-related concepts - hybridity, insularity, the west, ubuntu, and orientalism - which ask how these concepts translate into practical, situated ways of grappling with the legacies of colonialism....

The Shock of the Other: Situating Alterities
ISBN: 9789042021990 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 190 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Alterity is not a mere synonym of difference; what it signifies is otherness, a distinction or separation that can entail similarity as well as difference. The articles collected here explore ways to define, situate and negotiate alterity in a manner that does not do away with the other through negation or neutralization but that instead engages alterity as a reconfiguring of identities that keeps them open to change, to a becoming without horizon. Alterity and its situated negotiations with identity are configured through the body, through the psyche and through translational politics. From...

Planetary Hinterlands: Extraction, Abandonment and Care
ISBN: 9783031242458 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This open access book considers the concept of the hinterland as a crucial tool for understanding the global and planetary present as a time defined by the lasting legacies of colonialism, increasing labor precarity under late capitalist regimes, and looming climate disasters. Traditionally seen to serve a (colonial) port or market town, the hinterland here becomes a lens to attend to the times and spaces shaped and experienced across the received categories of the urban, rural, wilderness or nature. In straddling these categories, the concept of the hinterland foregrounds the human and...

Peripheral Visions in the Globalizing Present: Space, Mobility, Aesthetics
ISBN: 9789004321441 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This volume sheds new light on how today's peripheries are made, lived, imagined and mobilized in a context of rapidly advancing globalization. Focusing on peripheral spaces, mobilities and aesthetics, it presents critical readings of, among others, Indian caste quarters, the Sahara, the South African backyard and European migration, as well as films, novels and artworks about marginalized communities and repressed histories. Together, these readings insist that the peripheral not only needs more visibility in political, economic and cultural terms, but is also invaluable for creating...

Legibility in the Age of Signs and Machines
ISBN: 9789004375482 / Angielski / Miękka / 2018 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Legibility in the Age of Signs and Machines offers a compelling reflection on what the notion of legibility entails in a machinic world in which any form of cultural expression – from literary texts, films, artworks and museum exhibits to archives, laws, computer programs and algorithms – necessarily partakes in ever-more complex processes of (mass) mediation. Divided over four clusters focusing on desire, justice, machine and heritage, the chapters in the volume explore what makes something legible or illegible to whom or, indeed, what; the kinds of reading, processing or navigating such...
