Culture/power/history
Organized around these three concepts, Culture/ Power/History brings together both classic and new essays that address Foucault's "new economy of power relations" in a number of different, contestatory directions. Representing innovative work from various disciplines and sites of study, from taxidermy to Madonna, the book seeks to affirm the creative possibilities available in a time marked by growing uncertainty about established disciplinary forms of knowledge and by the increasing fluidity of the boundaries between them. The book is introduced by a major synthetic essay by the editors, which calls attention to the most significant issues enlivening theoretical discourse today. The editors seek not only to encourage scholars to reflect anew on the course of social theory, but also to orient newcomers to this area of inquiry.
Tetralogue
"For those new to philosophy, 'Tetralogue' is a marvellous way into the subject. For those who are old hands, it neatly poses serious questions about truth and falsity, relativism and dogma."--Dust jacket flap.

Fifty Two Lessons for Life
It is my pleasure to share with you readings from Napoleon Hill's writings that range from his earliest to his latest works. Selections are included from his essays, his books, and his capstone course: PMA Science of Success. In addressing these writings, I enjoyed fast forwarding to today's current application of his philosophy. Remembering that "there is nothing new under the sun," it is refreshing to align Dr. Hill's thoughts with my interpretation and application of them in today's ever changing world. This material is pure, unadulterated gold, and hence the title of the book: Napoleon Hill: The Only Gold Standard. So, I commend you to the material. There are 52 chapters - that equates t...

Culture/Power/History
The intellectual radicalism of the 1960s spawned a new set of questions about the role and nature of "the political" in social life, questions that have since revolutionized nearly every field of thought, from literary criticism through anthropology to the philosophy of science. Michel Foucault in particular made us aware that whatever our functionally defined "roles" in society, we are constantly negotiating questions of authority and the control of the definitions of reality. Such insights have led theorists to challenge concepts that have long formed the very underpinnings of their disciplines. By exploring some of the most debated of these concepts--"culture," "power," and "history"--thi...
