Going Along with Trans, Queer, and Non-Binary Youth - Sam Stiegler - Bog - State University of New York Press - Plusbog.dk

Going Along with Trans, Queer, and Non-Binary Youth - Sam Stiegler - Bog - State University of New York Press - Plusbog.dk

Engaging, self-reflective stories of conducting research on and with transgender, queer, and non-binary youth as they go about their everyday lives in New York City. This book recounts a series of mobile interviews-or "go-alongs"-with eleven transgender, queer, and non-binary youth to examine the everyday ways they navigated and made their lives in New York City. By telling the stories of how the go-alongs transpired and using detailed narrative description, Sam Stiegler shifts methodological attention to those parts of scholarly studies that often get left on the cutting room floor. Going Along with Trans, Queer, and Non-Binary Youth foregrounds process, not just findings, reflecting on the complexities of embodying the position of researcher and what it was like to do research with these participants. We, as readers, are compelled not only to see how these young people express knowledge about their worlds and their understandings of race, gender, sexuality, class, and age but also to appraise how we make sense of them in the course of our reading.

Between Philosophy and Non-Philosophy - - Bog - State University of New York Press - Plusbog.dk

Between Philosophy and Non-Philosophy - - Bog - State University of New York Press - Plusbog.dk

Engages the work and career of the philosopher Hugh J. Silverman. Hugh J. Silverman was an inspiring scholar and teacher, known for his work engaging and shaping phenomenology, hermeneutics, psychoanalysis, structuralism, poststructuralism, and deconstruction. As Professor of Philosophy and Comparative Literary and Cultural Studies at Stony Brook University, State University of New York, Silverman''s work was marked by "the between," a concept he developed to think the postmodern in the space between philosophy and non-philosophy. In this volume, leading scholars explore and extend Silverman''s philosophical contributions, from reflections on the notions of care, time, and responsibility, to presentations of the practices and possibilities of deconstruction itself. They provide an assessment of Silverman''s life and work at the intersection of philosophy, ethics, and politics.

Power, Political Economy, and Historical Landscapes of the Modern World - - Bog - State University of New York Press - Plusbog.dk

Power, Political Economy, and Historical Landscapes of the Modern World - - Bog - State University of New York Press - Plusbog.dk

Reveals how the expanding world-system entangled the non-western world in global economies, yet did so in ways that were locally articulated, varied, and, often, non-European in their expression. This interdisciplinary volume brings together a richly substantive collection of case studies that examine European-indigene interactions, economic relations, and their materialities in the formation of the modern world. Research has demonstrated the extent and complexity of the varied local economic and political systems, and diverse social formations that predated European contact. These preexisting systems articulated with the expanding European economy and, in doing so, shaped its emergence. Moving beyond the confines of national or Atlantic histories to examine regional systems and their historical trajectories on a global scale, the studies within this volume draw examples from the Caribbean, Mesoamerica, North America, South America, Africa, and South Asia. While the contributions are rooted in substantive studies from different world areas, their overarching aim is to negotiate between global and local frames, revealing how the expanding world-system entangled the non-Western world in global economies, yet did so in ways that were locally articulated, varied and, often, non-European in their expression.

Heidegger's Conversations - Katherine Davies - Bog - State University of New York Press - Plusbog.dk

Heidegger's Conversations - Katherine Davies - Bog - State University of New York Press - Plusbog.dk

Offers the first comprehensive study of Martin Heidegger''s five conversational texts. Reading Martin Heidegger''s five conversational texts together for the first time, Heidegger''s Conversations elaborates not only what Heidegger thought but how he did so by attending to the philosophical possibilities of the genre of these under-studied texts written between 1944 and 1954. Though he wrote little on the topic of teaching and learning explicitly, Katherine Davies shows Heidegger performed an implicit poetic pedagogy in his conversations that remains to be recognized. Heidegger launched an experimental attempt to enact a learning of non-representational, non-metaphysical thinking by cultivating a distinctly collaborative sensitivity to the call of the poetic. Davies illustrates how each conversation emphasizes a particular pedagogical element-non-oppositionality, making mistakes, thinking in community, poetic interpretation, and the dangers of such pedagogy-which together constitute the developmental arc of these texts. Whether Heidegger is revising or reinforcing his own earlier pedagogical practices, Davies argues that attending to the dramatic staging of the conversations offers a distinct vantage point from which to contend with Heidegger''s philosophy and politics in the post-war period.

Apparitions, Daemons, and Emanations - Charles Freeland - Bog - State University of New York Press - Plusbog.dk

Apparitions, Daemons, and Emanations - Charles Freeland - Bog - State University of New York Press - Plusbog.dk

A study of non-representational art and poetry in the work of Bataille, Klossowski, and Michaux. This book presents a new study of the visual arts and poetry in the work of three well-known French writers and artists from the mid-twentieth century-Georges Bataille, Pierre Klossowski, and Henri Michaux. Each was fiercely independent, belonging to no school, academy, or political persuasion. What do they have in common? While the book's three central essays do not initially set out to establish comparisons between these writers, common ground emerges: a shared combat against culture, a shared non-representational artistic practice. Their writing, poetry, and painting offer not a portrayal of things or ideas but rather an emanation or apparition of the unknown and the infinite, one charged with deepening art's relation to life.

The Connectivity Hypothesis - Ervin Laszlo - Bog - State University of New York Press - Plusbog.dk

The Connectivity Hypothesis - Ervin Laszlo - Bog - State University of New York Press - Plusbog.dk

Provides the foundations of a genuine unified field theory. Ervin Laszlo, widely regarded as the founder of systems philosophy and general evolution theory, introduces the foundations of a genuine unified theory of the world in this pioneering treatise on the new sciences. In contrast to other unified theories that center mainly on physics, Laszlo''s embraces quantum, cosmos, life, as well as consciousness. He delineates the principles of a new physics of universal connectivity and puts forth the corresponding metaphysics, discussing the implications for such philosophical issues as the nature of matter and mind, freedom and morality, and design versus evolution. This landmark book lays the groundwork for the non-materialist and non-reductionist yet rigorous paradigm that is likely to signal the next revolution in science: the "paradigm of universal connectivity."

The Adventure of Self-Discovery - Stanislav Grof - Bog - State University of New York Press - Plusbog.dk

The Adventure of Self-Discovery - Stanislav Grof - Bog - State University of New York Press - Plusbog.dk

Here Grof presents a useful model of the psyche-a model extended by his thirty years of studying non-ordinary states of consciousness. It is useful for understanding such phenomena as shamanism, mysticism, psychedelic states, spontaneous visionary experiences, and psychotic episodes. The model is also useful in explaining the dynamics of experiential psychotherapies and a variety of sociopolitical manifestations such as war and revolution. This book might have been entitled Beyond Drugs . The second part describes the principles and process of the non-pharmacological technique developed by the author and his wife, Christina, for self-exploration and for psychotherapy. Grof explores in detail the components of this technique. He describes its method, its effective mechanisms, as well as its goals and potential. Its practice is simple, since it utilizes the natural healing capacity of the psyche.

Nothingness in the Heart of Empire - Harumi Osaki - Bog - State University of New York Press - Plusbog.dk

Nothingness in the Heart of Empire - Harumi Osaki - Bog - State University of New York Press - Plusbog.dk

Reveals the complicity between the Kyoto School's moral and political philosophy, based on the school's founder Nishida Kitaro's metaphysics of nothingness, and Japanese imperialism. In the field of philosophy, the common view of philosophy as an essentially Western discipline persists even today, while non-Western philosophy tends to be undervalued and not investigated seriously. In the field of Japanese studies, in turn, research on Japanese philosophy tends to be reduced to a matter of projecting existing stereotypes of alleged Japanese cultural uniqueness through the reading of texts. In Nothingness in the Heart of Empire, Harumi Osaki resists both these tendencies. She closely interprets the wartime discourses of the Kyoto School, a group of modern Japanese philosophers who drew upon East Asian traditions as well as Western philosophy. Her book lucidly delves into the non-Western forms of rationality articulated in such discourses, and reveals the problems inherent in them as the result of these philosophers' engagements in Japan's wartime situation, without cloaking these problems under the pretense of "Japanese cultural uniqueness." In addition, in a manner reminiscent of the controversy surrounding Martin Heidegger's involvement with Nazi Germany, the book elucidates the political implications of the morality upheld by the Kyoto School and its underlying metaphysics. As such, this book urges dialogue beyond the divide between Western and non-Western philosophies, and beyond the separation between "lofty" philosophy and "common" politics.

"Our Relations...the Mixed Bloods" - Larry Nesper - Bog - State University of New York Press - Plusbog.dk

"Our Relations...the Mixed Bloods" - Larry Nesper - Bog - State University of New York Press - Plusbog.dk

Articulates the relationships between kinship, racial ideology, mixed blood treaty provisions, and landscape transformation in the Great Lakes region. In the Great Lakes region of the nineteenth century, "mixed bloods" were a class of people living within changing indigenous communities. As such, they were considered in treaties signed between the tribal nations and the federal government. Larry Nesper focuses on the implementation and long-term effects of the mixed-blood provision of the 1854 treaty with the Chippewa of Wisconsin. That treaty not only ceded lands and created the Ojibwe Indian reservations in the region, it also entitled hundreds of "mixed-bloods belonging to the Chippewas of Lake Superior," as they appear in this treaty, to locate parcels of land in the ceded territories. However, quickly dispossessed of their entitlement, the treaty provision effectively capitalized the first mining companies in Wisconsin, initiating the period of non-renewable resource extraction that changed the demography, ecology, and potential future for the region for both natives and non-natives. With the influx of Euro-Americans onto these lands, conflicts over belonging and difference, as well as community leadership, proliferated on these new reservations well into the twentieth century. This book reveals the tensions between emergent racial ideology and the resilience of kinship that shaped the historical trajectory of regional tribal society to the present.

Citizenship and Service - Etta Bick - Bog - State University of New York Press - Plusbog.dk

Citizenship and Service - Etta Bick - Bog - State University of New York Press - Plusbog.dk

Assesses the place of non-military national service in Israeli politics and society. All citizens in a democracy are promised the same guaranteed rights, but should they have the same obligations? Should minorities with different attitudes toward the state be obliged to do national service in the name of equality? And what are the social and political consequences for minorities not given the opportunity to serve? This groundbreaking study examines civic (non-military) national service in Israel from independence until today, focusing on the controversies that ensued as the ethos of Israeli citizenship evolved from republican to liberal. Civic national service for religious girls was instituted in 1971 on a voluntary basis while remaining closed to others. After 2000, the program gradually extended to youth unsuitable for military service, Haredim (ultra-Orthodox), and Arabs. Etta Bick reveals the politics surrounding civic service policy using government documents and reports, newspaper accounts, and interviews. Civic national service remains a subject of contention both in the Arab community and among the Haredim, where some choose to serve despite the opposition of their leaders. Bick concludes that minority participation in civic national service is a positive and critical step toward their greater inclusion and integration into Israeli society. If Israeli policymakers adopt a more communitarian approach to citizenship and to civic national service, it will contribute to building stronger communities and empowering youth, benefitting all.

Another Mind-Body Problem - John Harfouch - Bog - State University of New York Press - Plusbog.dk

Another Mind-Body Problem - John Harfouch - Bog - State University of New York Press - Plusbog.dk

Demonstrates the profound overlap of philosophy''s mind-body problem and various racist doctrines found in thinkers ranging from Descartes to Kant. The mind-body problem in philosophy is typically understood as a discourse concerning the relation of mental states to physical states, and the experience of sensation. On this level it seems to transcend issues of race and racism, but Another Mind-Body Problem demonstrates that racial distinctions have been an integral part of the discourse since the Modern period in philosophy. Reading figures such as Descartes, Leibniz, and Kant in their historical contexts, John Harfouch uncovers discussions of mind and body that engaged closely with philosophical and scientific notions of race in metaphysics and the philosophy of mind, in particular in understanding how the mind unites with the body at birth and is then passed on through sexual reproduction. Kant argued that a person''s exterior body and interior psyche are bound together, that non-White people lacked reason, and that this lack of reason was carried on through reproduction such that non-Whites were an example of a union of mind and body without full being. Charting the development of this phenomenon from sixteenth-century medical literature to modern-day race discourse, Harfouch argues for new understandings of Descartes''s mind-body problem, Fanon''s experience of being ''not-yet human,'' and the place of racism in relation to one of philosophy''s most enduring and canonical problems.

A Guide to Heidegger's Being and Time - Magda King - Bog - State University of New York Press - Plusbog.dk

An indispensable guide to the major work of one of the twentieth century's most influential thinkers. This is the most comprehensive commentary on both Divisions of Heidegger's Being and Time, making it the essential guide for newcomers and specialists alike. Beginning with a non-technical exposition of the question Heidegger poses-"What does it mean to be?"-and keeping that question in view, it gradually increases the closeness of focus on the text. Citing Joan Stambaugh's translation, the author explains the key notions of the original with the help of concrete illustrations and reference to certain of the most relevant works Heidegger composed both before and after the publication of Being and Time.

The Logic of Marx's Capital - Tony Smith - Bog - State University of New York Press - Plusbog.dk

The Logic of Marx's Capital - Tony Smith - Bog - State University of New York Press - Plusbog.dk

Beginning with "value" and "commodity" at the start of Volume I in Marx''s major work, and progressing step-by-step to the end of Volume III, Smith establishes in detail that Capital is a systematic theory of socio-economic categories ordered according to dialectical logic. At each stage in his analysis of the theory Smith makes Marx''s arguments more accessible. He also considers in depth the objections to Marx''s employment of dialectical logic that have been formulated by Hegelians (especially those presented in Klaus Hartmann''s Die Marxsche Theorie). Smith presents a persuasive case against this whole range of Marx criticisms, many of which have also been proposed from non-Hegelian standpoints.
