Kant in the Land of Extraterrestrials: Cosmopolitical Philosofictions
ISBN: 9780823255504 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. "Yes, Kant did indeed speak of extraterrestrials." This phrase could provide the opening for this brief treatise of philosofiction (as one speaks of science fiction). What is revealed in the aliens of which Kant speaks--and he no doubt took them more seriously than anyone else in the history of philosophy--are the limits of globalization, or what Kant called cosmopolitanism. Before engaging Kantian considerations of the inhabitants of other worlds, before comprehending his reasoned alienology, this book works its way through an analysis of the star wars raging above our heads in the guise of...

Hits: Philosophy in the Jukebox
ISBN: 9780823234387 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 190 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Hits: Philosophy in the Jukebox is an extraordinary foray into what Apple has convinced us is the soundtrack of our lives.How does music come to inhabit us, to possess and haunt us? What does it mean that a piece of music can insert itself-Szendy's term for this, borrowed from German, is the earworm-into our ears and minds? In this book, Peter Szendy probes the ever-growing and ever more global phenomenon of the hit song. Hits is the culmination of years of singular attentiveness to the unheard, the unheard-of, and the overheard, as well as of listening as it occurs when one...

Listen: A History of Our Ears
ISBN: 9780823228003 / Angielski / Miękka / 2008 / 176 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In this intimate meditation on listening, Peter Szendy examines what the role of the listener is, and has been, through the centuries. The role of the composer is clear, as is the role of the musician, but where exactly does the listener stand in relation to the music s/he listens to? What is the responsibility of the listener? Does a listener have any rights, as the author and composer have copyright? Szendy explains his love of musical arrangement (since arrangements allow him to listen to someone listening to music), and wonders whether it is possible in other ways to convey to others how...

Prophecies of Leviathan: Reading Past Melville
ISBN: 9780823231546 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Reading Melville is not only reading. Reading Melville means being already engaged in the abyssal process of reading reading. Reading what reading is and what reading does.With Melville, Prophecies of Leviathan argues that reading, beyond its apparent linearity, is essentially prophetic, not only because Moby Dick, for example, may appear to be full of unexpected prophecies (Ishmael seems to foretell a Grand Contested Election for the Presidency of the United Statesfollowed by a bloody battle in Afghanistan) but also, and more deeply, because reading itself is a prophetic experience that...

Phantom Limbs: On Musical Bodies
ISBN: 9780823267064 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The prostheses Peter Szendy explores--those peculiar artifacts known as musical instruments--are not only technical devices but also bodies that live a strange phantom life, as uncanny as a sixth finger or a third lung. The musicological impulse to inventory those bodies that produce sound is called into question here. In Szendy's hands, its respectable corpus of scholarship is read aslant, so as to tease out what it usually prefers to hide: hybrids and grafts produced by active fictions, monsters, and chimera awaiting the opportunity to be embodied. Beyond these singular bodies that music...

Apocalypse-Cinema: 2012 and Other Ends of the World
ISBN: 9780823264803 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 182 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Apocalypse-cinema is not only the end of time that has so often been staged as spectacle in films like 2012, The Day After Tomorrow, and The Terminator. By looking at blockbusters that play with general annihilation while also paying close attention to films like Melancholia, Cloverfield, Blade Runner, and Twelve Monkeys, this book suggests that in the apocalyptic genre, film gnaws at its own limit. Apocalypse-cinema is, at the same time and with the same double blow, the end of the world and the end of the...

The world of international politics has recently been rocked by a seemingly endless series of scandals involving auditory surveillance: the NSA's warrantless wiretapping is merely the most sensational example of what appears to be a universal practice today. What is the source of this generalized principle of eavesdropping?
