Franz Rosenzweig's Conversions: World Denial and World Redemption
ISBN: 9780253013125 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 280 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Franz Rosenzweig's near-conversion to Christianity in the summer of 1913 and his subsequent decision three months later to recommit himself to Judaism is one of the foundational narratives of modern Jewish thought. In this new account of events, Benjamin Pollock suggests that what lay at the heart of Rosenzweig's religious crisis was not a struggle between faith and reason, but skepticism about the world and hope for personal salvation. A close examination of this important time in Rosenzweig's life, the book also sheds light on the full trajectory of his philosophical development. Franz Rosenzweig's near-conversion to Christianity in the summer of 1913 and his subsequent decision three months later to recommit himself to Juda... |

Concentrationary Cinema: Aesthetics as Political Resistance in Alain Resnais's Night and Fog
ISBN: 9781782384984 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 358 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Since its completion in 1955, Alain Resnais's Night and Fog (Nuit et Brouillard) has been considered one of the most important films to confront the catastrophe and atrocities of the Nazi era. But was it a film about the Holocaust that failed to recognize the racist genocide? Or was the film not about the Holocaust as we know it today but a political and aesthetic response to what David Rousset, the French political prisoner from Buchenwald, identified on his return in 1945 as the 'concentrationary universe' which, now actualized, might release its totalitarian plague any time and anywhere?...
