Beyond the Cyborg: Adventures with Donna Haraway
ISBN: 9780231149280 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Feminist theorist and philosopher Donna Haraway has substantially impacted thought on science, cyberculture, the environment, animals, and social relations. This long-overdue volume explores her influence on feminist theory and philosophy, paying particular attention to her more recent work on companion species, rather than her "Manifesto for Cyborgs." Margret Grebowicz and Helen Merrick argue that the ongoing fascination with, and re-production of, the cyborg has overshadowed Haraway's extensive body of work in ways that run counter to her own transdisciplinary practices. Sparked by...

The National Park to Come
ISBN: 9780804789622 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 104 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Historians of wilderness have shown that nature reserves are used ideologically in the construction of American national identity. But the contemporary problem of wilderness demands examination of how profoundly nature-in-reserve influences something more fundamental, namely what counts as being well, having a life, and having a future. What is wellness for the citizens to whom the parks are said to democratically belong? And how does the presence of foreigners threaten this wellness? Recent critiques of the Wilderness Act focus exclusively on its ecological effects, ignoring the extent to...

Lyotard and Critical Practice
ISBN: 9781350192027 / Angielski / Twarda / 2022 / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Jean-François Lyotard (1924-1998) was one of the previous century’s most provocative thinkers. Can his work help us address the crisis currently facing the humanities? The dominant economic discourse sees the humanities as “low-value,” an irritation at best. Lyotard helps us to think against this pervasive dismissal of creative activity, not by defending the honor of the humanities, but by inviting critical practices which aggravate this irritation. Critical practices trouble what counts as critique, embrace incertitude, and listen for silenced voices. Twelve essays by artists...

Rescue Me: On Dogs and Their Humans
ISBN: 9781517914608 / Angielski / Miękka / 2022 / 80 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. What exactly is it we want from dogs today? This is a little book about the oldest relationship we humans have cultivated with another large animal-in something like the original interspecies space, as old or older than any other practice that might be called human. But it's also about the role of this relationship in the attrition of life-especially social life-in late capitalism. As we become more and more obsessed with imagining ourselves as benevolent rescuers of dogs, it is increasingly clear that it is dogs who are rescuing us. But from what? And toward what? Exploring adoption,...

Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things. The sapiens of the sea, whales are the other intelligent, social, and loquacious animal.
