Complicity: Criticism Between Collaboration and Commitment
ISBN: 9781786601018 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 154 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Complicity argues that all existing modes of cultural critique are regarded as legitimate and productive if and only if they are complicit with the very ideologies and values that the criticism sets out to undermine. Through philosophical, literary and theoretical analysis, Thomas Docherty shows how easy it has been for criticism to become essentially an act of political collaboration with existing governmental power. The book explores the various ways in which, both historically and theoretically, critical activity has become complicit with the over-arching social and political norms that it...

John Donne, Undone (Routledge Revivals)
ISBN: 9781138025929 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 270 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Contemporary criticism of Donne has tended to ignore the historical culture and ideology that conditioned his writings, reinforcing the traditionally accepted model of the poet as a humanist of ethical, cultural and political individualism. In this title, first published in 1986, Thomas Docherty challenges this with a more rigorously theoretical reading of Donne, particularly in relation to the specific culture of the late Renaissance in Europe. Docherty locates Donne's poetry at the crux of the various scientific, legal, domestic and rhetorical discourses that surrounded and informed it....

English Question: Or Academic Freedoms
ISBN: 9781845191320 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 182 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In this important study that begins with the claim that the fundamental idea governing the institution of the University is a will to freedom, author Thomas Docherty argues that the question of freedom lies at the heart of what is academic English at the beginning of the 21st century. Tracing a history of the modern European University from Vico onwards and including Hume, Rousseau, Schiller, Hegel, Schopenhauer, Newman, Alain, Benda, and Jaspers, the author argues the academy s will to freedom is grounded in study of the eloquence that has shaped literate and humane values. He goes on to...

Postmodernism: A Reader
ISBN: 9780231082211 / Angielski / Miękka / 1993 / 257 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The arguments over postmodernism are among the most important intellectual debates of our time. Going beyond the poststructuralist controversy in its interdisciplinary scope, postmodernism questions the fundamental civil, political, ethical, and cultural criteria that make criticism and theory available, necessary, legitimate, or, indeed, even possible. But given that the key texts are widely scattered, the broad range of arguments remains relatively unknown. Postmodernism: A Reader gathers in one volume a comprehensive selection of articles, essays, and statements by leading...

Human Competence and Business Development: Emerging Patterns in European Companies
ISBN: 9783540199724 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 302 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. European competitiveness in a global perspective is a major issue on the agenda of the European Union and European industry. The question of competitiveness is often re lated to continual technological change and changing work structures to create more flexible and adaptive work places. But these changes are in themselves insufficient to meet the demands of a turbulent business environment, if they are not brought about in close relationship with and anchored to the development of the human resource poten tial. Technological innovation and modern post-Tayloristic work structures place new...

Aesthetic Democracy
ISBN: 9780804751896 / Angielski / Miękka / 2006 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Aesthetic Democracy argues that art and the aesthetic in general are the founding condition of the possibility of establishing social and political democracy. The book examines contemporary criticism and finds that it is historically shaped by colonialism, and that it sets up an opposition of east and west that shapes all contemporary cultural politics. The author argues for a way of outwitting this potentially dangerous struggle of east and west grounded in an aestheticism and a validation of sensory experience. Docherty proposes a new model of cultural critique, based on a...
