The Empire's New Clothes: Reading Hardt and Negri
ISBN: 9780415935555 / Angielski / Miękka / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Since its publication last year, Empire has come to dominate the academic world, stimulating debate and discussion throughout the humanities, social sciences, and into the mainstream media. The New York Times made outrageous claims about its importance, pointing to the scholarly commotion it has caused, and suggesting a book like this comes along only once every decade or so (July 7, 2001). Translation rights to Empire have been sold in ten countries already and the question has been raised whether Michael Hardt, one of the two authors, is the next Jacques Derrida. A new theoretical idea has...

ISBN: 9780415952453 / Angielski / Twarda / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Despite the overwhelming opposition on the left to the war in Iraq, many prominent liberals supported the war on humanitarian grounds.

The Frankfurt School Revisited
ISBN: 9780415953566 / Angielski / Twarda / 307 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Frankfurt School thinkers such as Theodor Adorno, Walter Benjamin, Jurgen Habermas, and Herbert Marcuse have been enormously influential in a wide range of contemporary public debates. Their writings have remained an invaluable touchstone for controversies in the fields of law, politics, the arts, and cultural studies. Discussions of "postmodernism" regularly mine the theories of Benjamin and Adorno for ideas and inspiration. And the burgeoning field of democratic theory would be inconceivable apart from Habermas's towering influence.

The Slave in the Swamp: Disrupting the Plantation Narrative
ISBN: 9780415972161 / Angielski / Twarda / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In 19th century plantation literature, the runaway slave in the swamp was a recurring "bogey-man" whose presence challenged myths of the plantation system. By escaping to the swamps with its wild and threatening connotations, the runaway gained an invisibility that was more threatening to the institution than open rebellion. In part, the proslavery plantation novel served to transform that image of the free slave in the swamp from its untouchable, abstract state to a form that could be possessed, understood, and controlled. Essentially, writers defending the institution would conjure forth...

Human Rights Treaties : Considering Patterns of Participation, 1948-2000
ISBN: 9780415977739 / Angielski / Twarda / 257 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The book examines patterns of participation in human rights treaties. International relations theory is divided on what motivates states to participate in treaties, specifically human rights treaties. Instead of examining the specific motivations, this dissertation examines patterns of participation. In doing so, it attempts to match theoretical expectations of state behavior with participation. The conclusion of this study is that the data suggests there are multiple motivations that lead states to participate in human rights treaties. The book is divided into five substantive chapters....
