Tractatüus Philosophiká-Poeticüus
A theoretical, mythopoetic work, Tractatüus Philosophiká-Poeticüus uses various poetic, narrative, and dramatic techniques and devices to fashion a new scriptoral genre, one that is engaged with critical discourses, even while it reads like a labyrinthine story. An aesthetic theory that depicts the path of writing through the deployment of a group of anonymous wanderers and a constantly metamorphosing 'I, ' Tractatüus Philosophiká-Poeticüus uses the parameters and the dynamics of the reading experience to construct this treatise on poetics. The work defies convenient categorization and tackles, through formal and stylistic innovations, the very possibilities and limits of literature.
The Blond Texts & the Age of Embers
"Throughout her writing career, Tueni remained fiercely independent and unattached to fashionable schools of thought. Her fondness for her native land is intertwined with her need to reflect upon the realities and conditions that surrounded her. The operations at work in her poetry--from the varied linguistic play to the jarring juxtapositions, from the ambiguity of certain passages to the playful manipulations of syntax--are intensely original and delightfully strange. Scenes from her own childhood accompany imagery drawn from Christian mythology and rituals, while tales of lovers scorned are juxtaposed with those of gods abandoned. Revelatory descriptions of springs, mountains and street-scenes accompany metaphysical contemplations, themselves masked by layers of striking imagery. Forceful and meditative, two books that present internal and emotional landscapes as well as a sensual if fragmented portrait of her urban and natural surroundings." --Amir Parsa

Cities Under Siege
Cities are the new battleground of our increasingly urban world. From the slums of the global South to the wealthy financial centers of the West, Cities Under Siege traces the spread of political violence through the sites, spaces, infrastructure and symbols of the world’s rapidly expanding metropolitan areas. Drawing on a wealth of original research, Stephen Graham shows how Western militaries and security forces now perceive all urban terrain as a conflict zone inhabited by lurking shadow enemies. Urban inhabitants have become targets that need to be continually tracked, scanned and controlled. Graham examines the transformation of Western armies into high-tech urban counter-insurgency f...
Exploring Nostalgia: Sad, Bad, Mad and Sweet
This volume was first published by Inter-Disciplinary Press in 2016. Sad, Bad, Mad, and Sweet considers nostalgia as a force that shapes culture, the self, and the state. It describes ways in which the nostalgic impulse is co-opted, created, questioned, and championed from a diverse array of disciplinary perspectives. Nostalgia as feeling is pivotal in the construction and contradiction of identity; as tool it is vital in the morphing and moulding of history. From post-colonial, to post-Soviet, to post-national views of home and the past, to the sculpting of story itself, this volume asks questions about how we remember and what those memories might offer. The chapters seek to warn and reassure, to imagine and to restrain; they all acknowledge the power of this bitter and sweet longing for something lost – whether real or imagined – and explore the ways in which nostalgia shapes the stories we tell about ourselves. The volume is an important contribution to the ways in which this multifaceted, much-maligned sentiment is considered.
Movement of knowledge
Medicinsk kunskap är alltid i rörelse. Den kan färdas från laboratoriet till kontoret, med en pressrelease till en patient, via en vetenskaplig artikel till en tjänsteman och kanske vidare till en beslutsfattare. Förflyttningen till olika sammanhang har betydelse för hur kunskapen uppfattas och används, vilket i sin tur kan påverka inriktningen på både forskning och politiska beslut. Komplexiteten hos medicinsk kunskap och de konsekvenser som den får står i fokus i antologin Movement of knowledge. Författarna undersöker hur kunskap präglar de medicinska och folkhälsoorienterade rummen och granskar samtidigt de metodologiska och teoretiska verktygen vi har för att studera kunskap och kunskapsflöden. I sina texter anlägger forskarna en tvärvetenskaplig syn på medicinsk humaniora och visar med såväl samtida som historiska perspektiv på hur gränssnittet mellan experter och allmänhet kan studeras. Medicinsk kunskap dekonstrueras, rekonstrueras och omformas när den rör sig mellan patienter, vårdgivare och samhället i stort. Att en behandlingsmetod godkänns eller underkänns utifrån medicinska fakta är något som i slutänden påverkar oss alla.
