Alien Powers: The Pure Theory of Ideology
ISBN: 9780765803658 / Angielski / Twarda / 396 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The term "ideology" can cover almost any set of ideas, but its power to bewitch political activists results from its strange logic: part philosophy, part science, part spiritual revelation, all tied together in leading to a remarkable paradox--that the modern Western world, beneath its liberal appearance, is actually the most systematically oppressive system of despotism the world has ever seen. Alien Powers: The Pure Theory of Ideology takes this complex intellectual construction apart, analyzing its logical, rhetorical, and psychological devices and thus opening it up to...

ISBN: 9780786425853 / Angielski / Miękka / 231 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For many people, the world of politics is defined by ideologies.

From right wing to the far left, this text dissects eight prominent political ideologies: traditional conservatism, classic...

ISBN: 9780826477545 / Angielski / Miękka / 210 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Recent years have seen the development of a substantial literature on cosmopolitan political thought and the idea of world citizenship. In this book Derek Heater offers a concise and accessible survey of this complex debate. He aims both to interpret these concepts and to assist in their comprehension. Central to the organization of the book is Heater's claim that the notion of world citizenship remains weak unless it is able to stand alongside and be comparable to citizenship in its traditional state-embedded sense. Thus, the core chapters are arranged according to a basic... Recent years have seen the development of a substantial literature on cosmopolitan political thought and the idea of world citizenship.

Resounding International Relations: On Music, Culture, and Politics
ISBN: 9781403967558 / Angielski / Twarda / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book explores a provocative area of inquiry for critical theory and research into world politics and popular culture: music. Not just because political science barely engages with anything musical, but also because it is clear that many opportunities for critical scholarship and reflection on global politics and economics are present in the spaces and relationships created by organized sound. It is easy to focus on the textual elements of music, but there is more at stake than just the words. Critical reflection on the intersections between music and politics also need to take into...
