For Revolt
For Revolt: Rancière, Abstract Space and Emancipation presents an interpretation of Rancière's uncompromising view of emancipation, drawing on its invariably rational and Kantian-moralist basis. Tracing a logic of abstract or empty space in all of Rancière's work, it contrasts the prevailing tendencies to emphasise Rancière's sensitivity to evolving historical forms and changing regimes of sensibility. Overturning the meaning of Rancière's interest in the sensible enables the capture of the object of his thought as a revolt against the reality accorded to ordered temporalities and forms of appearance as such. In making its argument, For Revolt reconstructs Rancière's relations to some ...
Possibilities of Place in Continental Thought
Exploring the critical potential of place in continental philosophy, Possibilities of Place in Continental Thought tests the political and ontological valences of this concept to go beyond the limits of existing geographical and phenomenological approaches. Considering place as emergent, relational and enveloping, or in connection to passage, becoming or redemption, the contributions to this volume point to the possibilities inherent in philosophical uses of place. By rejecting a singular and homogenous theory of place, this collection collapses the dichotomies that tend to characterize the discourse on place in favour of a plural conceptualization. It draws attention to the spatial and temporal dynamics within varying theoretical and historical contexts and moves the field forward in significant and vital ways.

Egalitarian Strangeness
The formulation 'egalitarian strangeness' is a direct borrowing from Courts voyages au pays du peuple [Short Voyages to the Land of the People] (1990), a collection of essays by the contemporary French thinker Jacques Ranci�re. Perhaps best known for his theory of radical equality as set out in Le Ma�tre ignorant [The Ignorant Schoolmaster] (1987), Ranci�re reflects on ways in which a hierarchical social order based on inequality can come to be unsettled. In the democracy of literature, for example, words and sentences, he argues, serve to capture any life and to make that available to any reader. The present book explores embedded forms of social and cultural apportionment' in a range...

Auguste Blanqui and the Politics of Popular Empowerment
Few individuals made such an impact on nineteenth-century French politics as Louis-Auguste Blanqui (1805-1881). Political organiser, leader, propagandist and prisoner, Blanqui was arguably the foremost proponent of popular power to emerge after the French Revolution. Practical engagement in all the major uprisings that spanned the course of his life – 1830, 1848, 1870-71 – was accompanied by theoretical reflections on a broad range of issues, from free will and fatalism to public education and individual development. Since his death, however, Blanqui has not been simply overlooked or neglected; his name has widely become synonymous with theoretical misconception and practical misadventur...
L’intervento critico di Rancière
Entrambi costituiscono piuttosto gli oggetti di un intervento critico a favore dei senza-parte. Quello di Rancière è un pensiero pienamente in-formato dalle esperienze d’emancipazione e che suggerisce una concezione sospensiva del riconoscimento. Confrontandolo con autori (Balibar e Agamben, Habermas e Mouffe, Honneth, Spivak e Fricker) e tradizioni (la Scuola di Francoforte e la Social History britannica) del pensiero critico, il volume intende mostrare i limiti e le potenzialità di un pensatore la cui originalità suscita sempre più interesse.
Yhden puun tuho
Esikoisromaani luontosuhteesta ja tuhovietistä Romaani tarjoaa uusia mutta tunnistettavia kuvia ihmisistä, arkisista tottumuksistamme ja luontosuhteeseen liittyvästä häpeästä Kun isä ottaa itseltään hengen, tytär ei ole yllättynyt. Hän tunnistaa itsessään saman tuhovietin, jonka kanssa isä ikänsä kamppaili. Surutyö nivoutuu yhteen ympäristöahdistuksen kanssa ja saa päähenkilön selvittämään, miksi toimimme omaa parastamme vastaan yksilöinä ja ihmiskuntana. Alkaa armoton itsetutkiskelun matka. Miksi puheet ja teot eivät kohtaa? Miksi arvot ja toiminta ovat ristiriidassa? Mikä luontosuhteessamme on vialla? Yhden puun tuho pureutuu ihmislajille ominaiseen tuhokäyt...
Sartre and Fiction
Sartre and Fiction offers a clear and accessible introduction to the extensive fictional writings of Jean-Paul Sartre. Providing comprehensive coverage of his short stories, novels and plays, the book examines the close links between the ideas and themes in his fiction and those put forward in his formal philosophical works. Sartre wrote fiction as a means of developing and enriching his philosophical ideas. Gary Cox reveals the extent to which Sartre's fictional writings are truly philosophical and an integral part of his overall intellectual vision. He also explores the ways in which Sartre's fictional writings reflect the personal, historical and political context in which they were written. Aside from yielding a wealth of personal and historical detail, this fascinating book demonstrates that the only way to fully appreciate Sartre's grand philosophical project is to understand the man himself and the troubled times though which he lived and wrote. Ideal for undergraduate students encountering Sartre for the first time, this book offers the first sustained introduction to Sartre's fictional oeuvre.
Time and History in Deleuze and Serres
For Gilles Deleuze, time is 'out of joint'. For Michel Serres, it is 'a crumpled handkerchief'. In both of these concepts, explicit references are made to the non-linear dynamics of Chaos and Complexity theory, as well as the New Sciences. The groundbreaking work of these key thinkers has the potential to instigate a radical break from traditional existentialist theories of time and history, affording us the opportunity to view history and historical events as a complex, non-linear system of feedback-loops, couplings and interfaces. In this collection, the first to address the comparative historiographies of Deleuze and Serres, twelve leading experts - including William Connolly, Eugene Holland, Claire Colebrook and Elizabeth Grosz - examine these alternative concepts of time and history, exposing critical arguments in this important and emerging field of research.
