Foucault e as teorias do reconhecimento

A analítica do texto percorre três campos teóricos [...] do reconhecimento. Taylor, Honneth e Butler [...] abordados para se fazer emergir a hipótese que tais teorias não são suficientes para se chegar a um corpo utópico, ou seja, a uma mobilidade política outra em decorrência das atualizações demandadas no mundo contemporâneo. É aqui que se irrompe o pensamento de Foucault. [...] o que se delineia, afirma-se e se deseja no texto são outros corpos para reconhecimentos em franco devir. [...] o que está em cena é uma genealogia de uma longa Erfindung, ou seja, de uma longa invenção do Reconhecimento, com R maiúsculo. Tal invenção, por sua vez, interpõe-se entre o vôo fug...

Memórias, arte e (re)existências

Este livro é feito de memórias, arte e gestos de (re)existências atravessadas pelas infâncias. Foi produzido por pesquisadores/as e acadêmicos/as vinculados/as ao grupo “Filosofia, Cultura e Educação” (FILJEM/CNPq) e nasce de um desejo de deixar traços de pensamentos diversos construídos no período de pandemia de Covid-19 entre os anos 2020 e 2021. As escritas também são memórias, que durante esse período, de algum modo, se tornaram latentes. O livro é de trânsito e movimento, em tempos que as certezas nos fogem, caminhamos por pensamentos escorregadios e, por isso, reafirmamos que a infância é presente e urgente, uma vez que muitas das nossas crianças estão em desalento, expostas à fome, à morte, ao descaso. Entendemos isso como barbárie. O livro, através dos textos que o compõe, torna-se um exercício de resistir e de existir, ou seja, de (re)existências como uma estratégia para deixar rastros de nossas reflexões que exigem um novo começo.

Biopolítica, Arte de Viver e Educação

O tema da Biopolítica nos remete ao diagnóstico do presente, desenvolvido originalmente por Michel Foucault e, posteriormente, aprofundado por outros filósofos contemporâneos, como Giorgio Agamben, sem contar que filósofos como John Dewey, Jürgen Habermas, dentre outros, o tangenciaram. Para parte desses filósofos, uma dimensão da vida humana teria sido abandonada para que se restringisse a um tipo de racionalidade, àquilo que pode ser regulamentado pelo Estado e governado politicamente pelas diversas artes de governos espalhadas pela sociedade civil. Se, na crítica feita por alguns desses filósofos em relação à reconciliação entre a vida e o mundo, por meio de uma racionalid...

A groundbreaking look at marriage, one of the most basic and universal of all human institutions, which reveals the emotional, physical, economic, and sexual benefits that marriage brings to individuals and society as a whole. The Case for Marriage is a critically important intervention in the national debate about the future of family. Based on the authoritative research of family sociologist Linda J. Waite, journalist Maggie Gallagher, and a number of other scholars, this book’s findings dramatically contradict the anti-marriage myths that have become the common sense of most Americans. Today a broad consensus holds that marriage is a bad deal for women, that divorce is better for childr...

'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.

A group of Koreans are making their way across a disease-ravaged landscape—but to what end? To the Warm Horizon shows how in a post-apocalyptic world, humans will still seek purpose, kinship, and even intimacy. Focusing on two young women, Jina and Dori, who find love against all odds, Choi Jin-young creates a dystopia where people are trying to find direction after having their worlds turned upside down. Lucidly translated from the Korean by Soje, this thoughtful yet gripping novel takes the reader on a journey through how people adjust, or fail to adjust, to catastrophe.

Joan Jonas

  • Categories: Art

Joan Jonas emerged in a rich and experimental 1960s New York art scene that included such luminaries as Richard Serra, Gordon Matta-Clark, John Cage, Philip Glass, and Merce Cunningham. Since that time Jonas has gained a peerless status as a pioneer of performance and video. Jonas's work typically encompasses video, performance, installation, sound, text, and drawing. Defying easy categorization, it engages with complex ideas of ritual, myth, and storytelling. In recent years Jonas has also become increasingly engaged with environmental issues, focusing on the animal world and the vulnerability of our planet. This new publication includes an introduction to Jonas's practice and brings together selected conversations from the last fourteen years, in which the artist talks about her interdisciplinary approach as well as the influences and impulses she has absorbed from literature, music, traditional Japanese Noh theater, and the rituals of foreign cultures.
