Alternative Communities in Hispanic Literature and Culture
What are Hispanic alternative communities and how are they represented in literature, film, and popular music? This book studies the fictional representation of circles of artists and intellectuals, youth gangs, musical bands, packs of marginal urban dwellers, groups of immigrants, and other diverse associations that share the common trait of being small and subversive collectives, perhaps akin to secret societies plotting to take control of society. These groups usually exist within a larger and established community – typically, the nation-state – though maintaining with it complicated relations of rivalry, criticism, outright violence, and other forms of antagonism. Thus “alternativ...
Dysphoric Modernism
During the interwar years in France, modernist literature challenged norms around sex and sexuality through daring portrayals of homosexuality and queerness. The same moment, however, witnessed the crystallization of the Western gender binary and its stark lines of division between male and female. Bringing together trans theory with French literary studies, Mat Fournier offers a new understanding of how the gender binary emerged in the modernist era. Dysphoric Modernism considers gender deviance in works by a broad range of French authors, both writers who are canonical for queer theory, such as Marcel Proust, André Gide, Jean Genet, and Colette, and lesser-known figures, including René C...

Staging Habla de Negros
In this volume, Nicholas R. Jones analyzes white appropriations of black African voices in Spanish theater from the 1500s through the 1700s, when the performance of Africanized Castilian, commonly referred to as habla de negros (black speech), was in vogue. Focusing on Spanish Golden Age theater and performative poetry from authors such as Calderón de la Barca, Lope de Rueda, and Rodrigo de Reinosa, Jones makes a strong case for revising the belief, long held by literary critics and linguists, that white appropriations and representations of habla de negros language are “racist buffoonery” or stereotype. Instead, Jones shows black characters who laugh, sing, and shout, ultimately combat...
The Sublime Perversion of Capital
In The Sublime Perversion of Capital Gavin Walker examines the Japanese debate about capitalism between the 1920s and 1950s, using it as a "prehistory" to consider current discussions of uneven development and contemporary topics in Marxist theory and historiography. Walker locates the debate's culmination in the work of Uno Kōzō, whose investigations into the development of capitalism and the commodification of labor power are essential for rethinking the national question in Marxist theory. Walker's analysis of Uno and the Japanese debate strips Marxist historiography of its Eurocentric focus, showing how Marxist thought was globalized from the start. In analyzing the little-heralded tradition of Japanese Marxist theory alongside Marx himself, Walker not only offers new insights into the transition to capitalism, the rise of globalization, and the relation between capital and the formation of the nation-state; he provides new ways to break Marxist theory's impasse with postcolonial studies and critical theory.
Marx et la politique du dehors
Qu’est-ce qui, dans notre monde, peut encore être considéré comme extérieur au capital? Peut-on concevoir un au-delà du capital depuis l’intérieur des sociétés dominées par sa logique d’accumulation? La théorie marxiste contemporaine postule l’existence de deux types de «dehors» à l’intérieur du monde constitué. Le premier relève de la structure sociale et rassemble les extériorités du capital dont celui-ci ne peut se passer et où il nous enferme: la force de travail, la nation, le genre, etc. Le second serait lié à la vie politique, tant pratique que théorique. La véritable action politique doit être l’affirmation en acte de maximes émancipatrices, neuves qui portent en elles le projet d’un ailleurs politique autre que les quasi-extériorités structurelles où le capital nous enclot pour assoir sa puissance dominatrice. Cet ouvrage de Gavin Walker propose de penser l’émancipation politique à partir d’une lecture croisée de Marx avec les principales figures de la pensée critique contemporaine, de Schmitt à Žižek, en passant par Badiou, Deleuze, Balibar et Foucault.
Macedonio Fernández: Nicht jedes Wachen ist das mit den offenen Augen
Die Totalität eines wachsamen Zustands des Wachens verneint der Titel des 1928 erschienenen Erstlingswerks No toda es vigilia la de las ojos abiertos des argentinischen Philosophen Macedonio Fernández, das nun erstmals in deutscher Sprache erhältlich ist. Bei dem Autor handelt es sich um den wichtigsten Vorläufer von Jorge Luis Borges, der 1952 über den eben Verstorbenen sagte, dass er ihn jahrelang bis hin zum passioniert-devoten Plagiat imitiert habe. Das Werk ist eine leidenschaftliche, träumerisch-verspielte Kritik an jeglicher Philosophie der Vernunft. Ein dekolonialer Angriff auf die großen europäischen Philosophen (von Kant bis Hobbes) voller Ironie und Parodie erwartet Sie! Die Publikation umfasst eine Einführung in Autor und Werk (Michael Rössner) sowie eine philosophische Einordnung (Victor Ferretti), die Übersetzung (Daniel Graziadei und Florencia Sannders) sowie ein Nachwort der Übersetzerin und des Übersetzers.

Inventory
This book compiles Adamo-Faiden’s inventory along with the inventions this body of work distills. Images, drawings and texts are presented in the form of diptychs, forcing the reader to establish subjective bridges between both documents. Adamo-Faiden is an architecture studio established in Buenos Aires by Sebastian Adamo and Marcelo Faiden. Their practice extends to the field of teaching and research, and has been internationally recognized by different media and institutions. Their works were exhibited at the Sao Paulo Architecture Biennial, the Guggenheim Museum in New York, the Venice Architecture Biennale, the Chicago Architecture Biennial, the LIGA Architecture gallery in Mexico, the Deutsches Architekturmuseum in Frankfurt, the Storefront for Art & Architecture in New York, and at Princeton University School of Architecture. Inventory’s sequential accumulation proposes a journey through two decades of work designed by its authors and positions Adamo-Faiden’s architecture between material organization and intellectual speculation.
