Terror
Mørk hud, langt sort skæg, en kalasjnikov over skulderen - og så holder han af gemmeleg i afghanske huler. Sådan er en terrorist. Tror vi. Men han kan også være en hjemmedyrket ung norsk mand på en smuk julidag. Ingen af dem mener dog selv, de er terrorister; de er frihedskæmpere - som de danske modstandsfolk, der engang ønskede tyskerne raus. For terror er ikke bare et spørgsmål om sort eller hvid, god eller ond. Terror er ifølge Carsten Bagge Laustsen, lektor i politisk sociologi ved Aarhus Universitet, langt mere farverig, end vi går rundt og tror.
The Culture of Exception
'The camp' is no longer an exception but the rule. This book investigates the paradox of the camp, which represents both an old fear of enclosure and a new dream of belonging.
Social Theory
This textbook offers a new approach to understanding social theory. Framed around paired theoretical perspectives on a series of sociological problems, the book shows how distinctive viewpoints shed light on different facets of social phenomena. The book includes sociology’s "founding fathers", major 20th-century thinkers and recent voices such as Butler and Zizek. Philosophically grounded and focused on interpretation and analysis, the book provides a clear understanding of theory’s scope while developing students’ skills in evaluating, applying and comparing theories.
Sociology Through the Projector
Sociology through the Projector takes issue with the question of how contemporary film can help answering the general, abstract but still urgent question: what is the social today? This book explains the performative relation to contemporary social theory in which cinema functions as a tool for social diagnosis. There is much to be learned about social theory through an encounter with films as films are part and parcel of the society they portray. Increasingly more lay knowledge about social problems and facts stems from cinema as it offers to large audiences a popular and pedagogical introduction to social knowledge. Social theory cannot avoid a critical engagement with cinema as cinema int...
The subject of politics : Slavoj Žižek's political philosophy
A study of Slavoj Å1⁄2iÅ3⁄4ek'¿¿s political philosophy. Focusing on the combination of psychoanalytic theory and philosophy, the book offers an overview of Å1⁄2iÅ3⁄4ek'¿¿s analysis of contemporary society. In five chapters, the reader is introduced to Å1⁄2iÅ3⁄4ek'¿¿s method, his view of the political impasse in the postmodern world, and his suggestion for a way ahead to renewed action and political invention. Rich in examples, the book gives an engaging and entertaining tour around the landscape of Å1⁄2iÅ3⁄4ek'¿¿s political endeavour, while at the same time insisting on a more systematic and piecemeal approach than the Slovenian tends to offer himself.
Kosovo between War and Peace
A major contribution to the debate about the reconstruction of Kosovo, and to the general discussion surrounding the revived 'trusteeship institution' model in the context of the UN internationalism of the 1990s and the War on Terror following 9/11. Bringing together leading international scholars, this book presents the latest empirical research alongside detailed theoretical analysis. Examining the key questions local parties and the international community have encountered in Kosovo, including how to develop effective and inclusive local government, how to counter crime and the dysfunctional aspects of liberal economic reform, how to unite the partly opposed goals of reconstructing the pr...
