A Ch’ixi World is Possible

Essays from a Present in Crisis

Silvia Rivera Cusicanqui, UMSA, Bolivia

A Ch’ixi World is Possible (Un Mundo Ch’ixi es posible) is an illuminating manifesto by one of the founders of decolonial theory, Silvia Riveria Cusicanqui It presents an inventive and urgent cartography of diverse worlds around which a decolonial reality can emerge For Cusicanqui, the concept of ch’ixi is a figure with which to elaborate an argument about the mixing of cultures that come together but retain distinct aspects This book makes vivid propositions for many contemporary debates around power, race and the decolonial and offers practicable ways to co-exist without sacrificing difference to the globalized capitalist economy and culture

Thinking Film

Philosophy at the Movies

Edited by Richard Kearney, Boston College, USA & Murray Littlejohn, University of New Brunswick, Canada

According to Stanley Cavell, film was a place where 1930s and 1940s America did its thinking, a tradition that was taken up and enriched throughout world cinema. Can film indeed think? That is, can film do the work of philosophy? Thinking Film: Philosophy at the Movies argues that it can Bringing together an array of thinkers from across the analytic and continental traditions, this volume features work by established philosophers of film, such as Cavell and Deleuze, and contemporary thinkers, including Stephen Mulhall, Vivian Sobchack, Sandra Laugier, and Stephanie Rumpza

Architecture After Deleuze and Guattari

Chris L. Smith, University of Sydney, Australia

This study illuminates the complex interplay between philosophy and architecture through Deleuze and Guattari’s core philosophical concepts in architecture Their wide-ranging impact on 20th- and 21st-century architecture is presented in 16 chapters which each focus on a core Deleuzo-Guattarian philosophical concept and one key work of architecture which evokes it. Challenging the idea that a concept or theory defines, then produces the physical work and not vice versa, Chris Smith positions the relationship between Deleuze and Guattari’s practical philosophy and the field of architecture as one that is mutually substantiating and constitutive

Gaga Aesthetics

Art, Fashion, Popular Culture, and the Up-Ending of Tradition

Taking Adorno and Horkheimer’s ‘The Culture Industry’ as a crucial departure point, this book explores the dialectic of high and low that forms the foundation of Adornian aesthetics as well as those in his wake In the tradition of philosophical aesthetics that Adorno began with Lukács, it considers the ever-urgent notion that high culture has become deeply enmeshed with popular culture This is “Gaga Aesthetics”, aesthetics that are no longer confined to fine art, but can be found in phenomena such as fashion and music video

Architectural Aesthetics

Appreciating Architecture As An Art

Edward Winters, University of Westminster, UK

Identifying the problems with the rival values architecture enjoys, Winters reconciles intrinsic value, as a fine art, with extrinsic value, as shelter, security and comfort, to argue why architecture is a fine art. Without collapsing into the modernist conception of Functionalism, he draws on the Apollonian and the Dionysian to resolve the apparent conflict: the former identified as requiring contemplative, detached reflection, the latter an engaged, embodied entanglement with the festive mood inspired by the immediate situation Architecture, Winters claims, is to be regarded as functional; but this functionality is subsumed under the intrinsic aesthetic value of living well

Andean Aesthetics and Anticolonial Resistance

A Cosmology of Unsociable Bodies

Omar Rivera, Texas A&M University, USA

From pre-Columbian Inca stone architecture to 21st-century Andean photography and painting, Omar Rivera uncovers a lineage of conceptions of cosmologies as they have been expressed aesthetically in Andean philosophical traditions In doing so, he manifests a conception of the cosmos that is organized according to elemental orders and that underlies social forms Connecting pre-Columbian cosmologies with contemporary thinkers such as María Lugones, Linda Martín Alcoff and Silvia Rivera Cusicanqui, Rivera's original approach introduces us to the living, evolving and aesthetic alternatives to coloniality of power and of knowledge, overhauling our understanding of decolonial theory

The Stuff of Life

Timothy Morton, Rice University, USA

In The Stuff of Life, Timothy Morton chooses the objects that have shaped and punctuated their life to tell the story of who they are These objects are 'things' in the richest sense They are non-human beings that have a presence and force of their own From Battersea Power Station to a packet of anti-depressants, Morton explores why 'stuff' matters and why the life of these things have so powerfully impinged upon their own Their realization, through a concealer stick, that they identify as non-binary reveals the strange and wonderful ways that objects can form our worlds

Schizoanalytic Applications

Deleuze, Guattari and Schizoanalysis of the Global Pandemic

Revolutionary Praxis and Neoliberal Crisis

Edited by Saswat Samay Das, Indian Institute of Technology, India & Ananya Roy Pratihar, Institute of Management and Information Science, Odisha, India

A vital response to the COVID-19 pandemic, this volume connects the neoliberal underpinnings of the pandemic to the philosophy of Deleuze and Guattari By positioning the worst outcomes of the pandemic in terms of neoliberal normativity, Deleuzo-Guattarian attention towards non-human life finds new meaning in the context of the virus, and our understanding of what constitutes life and inorganic life� Reading crisis, capitalism, and revolution anew through the pandemic and core Deleuzo-Guattarian concepts helps to situate new models of mutual aid, sustainability, and care in the context of anti-capitalist critique

Albert Camus and the Philosophy of the Ordinary

Raymond D. Boisvert, Siena College, USA

The standard interpretation keeps repeating that Camus is the prototypical “absurdist” thinker Such a reading freezes Camus at the stage at which he wrote The Stranger and The Myth of Sisyphus. By taking seriously both how Camus was always searching and the rest of his corpus, Raymond D Boisvert corrects the one-sided, and thus faulty, depiction of Camus as committed to a philosophy of absurdism His guiding project, which he explicitly acknowledged, was an attempt to get beyond nihilism Tracing this project via Camus’s works, Boisvert offers a new lens for thinking about the well-known author

Queer and Deleuzian Temporalities

Toward a Living Present

Rachel Loewen Walker, University of Saskatchewan, Canada

Rachel Loewen Walker draws on the notion of nonlinear time in Deleuze’s work to advance a conception of ‘the living present’ as a critical juncture through which new meanings and activism in the fields of feminism, environment, and queerness may be realised Using literary texts by Jeanette Winterson, and philosophical texts by Julia Kristeva and Luce Irigaray, Walker reflects on monomythic stories about gender, sexuality, and identity in the context of rapid climate change, and posthumanist politics to pinpoint the importance of feminist and queer theory to a critical re-evaluation of time

The Ontology of Death

The Philosophy of the Death Penalty in Literature

Aaron Aquilina, Lancaster University, UK

Through examination of the death penalty in literature, Aaron Aquilina proposes a new theory of the subject Reading Sophocles, Dickens, Nabokov, and others, Aquilina demonstrates how portrayals of capital punishment uncover not only the state of non-being that comes with a death sentence, but also, given the pervasiveness of sovereignty and alterity, how this state exists beyond death row Contesting Heidegger’s being-towards-death, this book argues that, living on with death severs the subject’s relation to itself, the other and political sociality, rendering the human less a recognisable ‘being’ than an anonymous ‘living corpse’, a human thing

Taking seriously Lacan’s claim that “the unconscious is politics”, this volume interrogates the assumption that contemporary capitalism functions by tapping into people’s forms of unconscious enjoyment rather than providing transcendental conditions for the articulation of political meaning Written by leading international scholars, including Roberto Esposito and Slavoj Žižek, each chapter reflects on contemporary power structures and inspires consideration of new political potentialities, which our focus on politics in transcendental rather than immanent terms has thus far obscured In so doing, this volume uncovers the centrality of both psychoanalysis and the philosophy of immanence to an up-to-date understanding of the political

Joan Didion and the Ethics of Memory

Matthew R. McLennan, Saint Paul University, Canada

For Matthew McLennan, Joan Didion’s writing is unified by the ‘ethics of memory’ – themes linked to memory: witnessing and grieving, nostalgia, and the paradoxically amnesiac qualities of our increasingly documented lives explored in famous texts like Blue Nights and The Year of Magical Thinking

In a book suitable for students of ethics and moral philosophy, American literature and American studies, McLennan frames Didion as a serious if iconoclastic philosopher of time and memory Through her encounters with the past, the lauded writer offers lessons for the future in an increasingly unsettled world

Political Theology Today

100 Years after Carl Schmitt

Edited by Mitchell Dean, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark, Lotte List, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark & Stefan Schwarzkopf, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark

100 years have passed since Carl Schmitt declared that ‘all significant concepts of the modern theory of the state are secularized theological concepts’ in his now classic Political Theology (1922) The book appeared anachronistic at the time, going against Max Weber’s popular thesis defining secularization as a disenchantment of the world characteristic of modern societies Nevertheless, the concept of political theology has seen a revival in recent years and this centenary volume investigates this elusive concept as an object of study, an analytical tool and a field of research It asks the question: what to do with political theology today?

The Ethics of Water

From Commodification to Common

Ownership

Cameron Fioret, University of Michigan, USA

The ethics of water commodification provide the stimulus in this global approach to climate change and freshwater access Cameron Fioret argues that communities who are subject to water commodification suffer a form of political domination that demands reform Five main case studies including Detroit, Cochabamba, and Kerala span four continents to convey the global and local scope of normative water issues These examples draw on contemporary water justice movements to explore how anti-water-commodification struggles can utilize water recommoning practices to make water governance processes more deeply democratic

Errant Affirmations

On the Philosophical Meaning of Kierkegaard's Religious Discourses

David J. Kangas

Errant Affirmations not only opens up a new reading of Kierkegaard but elucidates his "religious" texts and places them organically within his philosophy as a whole Through close and clear readings, David Kangas argues that contemporary philosophical themes - gift, temporality, language, death, nothingness, economy and selfhood- are evident in these "religious" works The book argues that Kierkegaard’s “ontology,” fully emerges only in these discourses, which are organized around an “errant” kind of affirmation: an affirmation of existence that is without conditions, capable of affirming life even amidst its finitude and suffering.

Aesthetics, Ethics and Subjectivity

Exploring the rupture between Wittgenstein’s early and late phases, Michael Smith provides an original re-assessment of metaphysics in Wittgenstein’s works Showing how his criticism of metaphysics typically invoked the very thing he was seeking to erase, the ‘problem of metaphysics’ becomes the organising principle of Wittgenstein’s thought Smith further outlines Wittgenstein’s preoccupation with ethics and aesthetics to re-assess his legacy using an analysis of Nietzsche’s critique of Kantian aesthetics and Kant’s ‘judgments of taste’ to reflect the limits and possibilities of metaphysics, aesthetics, and ethics and the task of the philosopher more generally

A Philosophy of Comparisons

Theory, Practice and the Limits of Ethics

Hartmut von Sass, Humboldt University of Berlin, Germany

In the first philosophical analysis of the practice and ethics of comparative procedures, Hartmut von Sass expands on the significance of comparison. Elucidating the ramified structure of comparing, he suggests a typology of comparisons before introducing the notion of comparative injustice and the limits of comparisons He elaborates on comparing as practice by relating comparing to three relative practices – describing, orienting, and giving examples. This approach allows von Sass to clarify the idea of the incomparable, distinguish between different versions of incomparability and shed light on important ethical aspects of comparisons today

Michael Shepanski, Charles Sturt University, Australia

In this illuminating study of W V Quine, Michael Shepanski investigates epistemic norms, the criteria by which one decides whether a theory is rationally justified. It features a case study in which Shepanski develops a theory of the propositional attitudes by the method of formulating inferences to behaviour Finally, there are critiques of popular alternative views, including foundationalism, the centrality of knowledge, and Quine’s own epistemological naturalism By reassessing Quine’s normative epistemology, Shepanski advances our understanding of Quine’s philosophy whilst providing a guide for our own theorizing

Speaking Philosophically

Communication at the Limits of Discursive Reason

Thomas Sutherland, University of Lincoln, UK

Western philosophy has often claimed for itself not just a distinct sphere of knowledge, but a distinct form of communication, set against ordinary speech Thomas Sutherland proposes that for some philosophers, authentic philosophizing demands a specific manner of speaking or writing, adoption of which enables one to gesture toward truths that propositional speech will never grasp Drawing on a variety of thinkers – Heraclitus, Plato, Kant, Fichte, Nietzsche, Kierkegaard, Weil, Foucault, and Irigaray – Sutherland argues this emphasis on the form of philosophical communication can function as an exclusionary mechanism, determining who is deemed capable of speaking philosophically

Ideas Against Ideocracy

Non-Marxist Thought of the Late Soviet Period (1953–1991)

Mikhail Epstein, Emory University, USA

Countering the traditional view of an intellectual wilderness under the Soviet regime, Mikhail Epstein provides a comprehensive account of Russian thought of the second half of the 20th century that is highly sophisticated without losing clarity It provides new insights into late Soviet Russian nationalism and Eurasianism, religious thought, cosmism and esoterism, and postmodernism and conceptualism Epstein shows how Russian philosophy has long been trapped in an intellectual prison of its own making as it sought to create its own utopia A new and exciting interpretation of recent Russian intellectual history and an opportunity to rethink our philosophical heritage

The Philosophy of Friedrich Heinrich Jacobi

On the Contradiction between System and Freedom

Birgit Sandkaulen, Ruhr-University Bochum, Germany

Translated by Matt Erlin

Translated into English for the first time, Birgit Sandkaulen makes a major contribution to reading the life, work and legacy of Friedrich Heinrich Jacobi She interprets his philosophical writings in their intellectual context, gives new perspectives on Fichte, Schelling, and Hegel, and focuses on Jacobi’s specific conception of practical realism Sandkaulen explores why, from Jacobi’s standpoint, the postKantian systems of German Idealism were bound to fail She recounts how Jacobi articulated a practical, ethical, personal realism that is as philosophically appealing and relevant today as it was in its time
