Freedom from the Free Will: On Kafka's Laughter
ISBN: 9781438462394 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Many of Kafka's narratives place their heroes in situations of confinement. Gregor Samsa is locked in his room in the Metamorphosis, and the land surveyor in The Castle is stuck in the village unable either to leave or to gain access to the castle. Dimitris Vardoulakis argues that Kafka constructs these plots of confinement in order to laugh at his heroes' futile attempts to express their will. In this way, Kafka emerges as a critic of the free will and as a proponent of a different kind of freedom: one focused within the confines of one's experience and mediated by one's...

The Doppelganger: Literature's Philosophy
ISBN: 9780823232994 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The Doppelgnger or Double presents literature as the doubleof philosophy. There are historical reasons for this. The genesis of the Doppelgnger is literature's response to the philosophical focus on subjectivity. The Doppelgnger was coined by the German author Jean Paul in 1796 as a critique of Idealism's assertion of subjective autonomy, individuality and human agency. This critique prefigures post-War extrapolations of the subject as decentred. From this perspective, the Doppelgnger has a family resemblanceto current conceptualizations of subjectivity. It becomes the emblematic subject of...

Stasis Before the State: Nine Theses on Agonistic Democracy
ISBN: 9780823277391 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book critiques the relation between sovereignty and democracy. Across nine theses, Vardoulakis argues that sovereignty asserts its power by establishing exclusions: the sovereign excluding other citizens from power and excludes refugees and immigrants from citizenship. Within this structure, to resist sovereignty is to reproduce the logic of exclusion characteristic of sovereignty. In contrast to this "ruse of sovereignty," Vardoulakis proposes an alternative model for political change. He argues that democracy can be understood as the structure of power that does not rely on...

Spinoza, the Epicurean: Authority and Utility in Materialism
ISBN: 9781474476058 / Angielski / Miękka / 2022 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Through a radical new reading of the Theological Political Treatise, Dimitris Vardoulakis argues that the Epicurean influence on Spinoza has profound implications for his conception of politics and ontology. This reconsideration of Spinoza's political project, set within a historical context, lays the ground for an alternative genealogy of materialism.Vardoulakis shows that the major source of Spinoza's materialism is the Epicurean tradition that re-emerges in modernity when manuscripts by Epicurus and Lucretius are rediscovered. Central to this new reading of Spinoza are the theory of...

Sovereignty and Its Other: Toward the Dejustification of Violence
ISBN: 9780823251353 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In this new book, Dimitris Vardoulakis asks how it is possible to think of a politics that is not commensurate with sovereignty. For such a politics, he argues, sovereignty is defined not in terms of the exception but as the different ways in which violence is justified. Vardoulakis shows how it is possible to deconstruct the various justifications of violence. Such dejustifications can take place only by presupposing an other to sovereignty, which Vardoulakis identifies with radical democracy. In doing so, Sovereignty and Its Other puts forward both a novel critique of sovereignty and an...

The Politics of Nothing: On Sovereignty
ISBN: 9781138946613 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 118 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book questions what sovereignty looks like when it is de-ontologised; when the nothingness at the heart of claims to sovereignty is unmasked and laid bare. Drawing on critical thinkers in political theology, such as Schmitt, Agamben, Nancy, Blanchot, Paulhan, "The Politics of Nothing "asks what happens to the political when considered in the frame of the productive potential of the nothing? The answers are framed in terms of the deep intellectual histories at our disposal for considering these fundamental questions, carving out trajectories inspired by, for example, Peter Lombard,...

Sparks Will Fly: Benjamin and Heidegger
ISBN: 9781438455044 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 305 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Despite being contemporaries, Walter Benjamin and Martin Heidegger never directly engaged with one another. Yet, Hannah Arendt, who knew both men, pointed out common ground between the two. Both were concerned with the destruction of metaphysics, the development of a new way of reading and understanding literature and art, and the formulation of radical theories about time and history. On the other hand, their life trajectories and political commitments were radically different. In a 1930 letter, Benjamin told a friend that he had been reading Heidegger and that if the two were to engage with...

Bifurcation and Instability in Geomechanics
ISBN: 9789812704757 / Angielski Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book focuses on recent developments in mathematical modeling of bifurcations, instabilities, localization and post-localization phenomena that are taking place in geomaterials (soils and rocks). The reader is introduced to the basic concepts of contemporary non-linear continuum geomechanics bifurcation and constitutive theory for ordinary and "enhanced continua" (second gradient and Cosserat continua). Within this frame, the finite element method of analysis is adapted and further developed in order to address boundary value problems that involve post-localization modeling.

Freedom and Confinement in Modernity proposes that imprisonment does not signify a tortured state of the individual in modernity.
