The Dialectic of Ressentiment
Drawing upon a wide variety of authors, approaches, and ideological contexts, this book offers a comprehensive and detailed critique of the distinct and polemical senses in which the concept of ressentiment (and its cognate 'resentment') is used today. It also proposes a new mode of addressing ressentiment in which critique and polemics no longer set the tone: care. Contemporary tendencies in political culture such as neoliberalism, nationalism, populism, identity politics, and large-scale conspiracy theories have led to the return of the concept of ressentiment in armchair political analysis. This book argues that, due to the tension between its enormous descriptive power and its mutually c...
Art History after Deleuze and Guattari
At the crossroads of philosophy, artistic practice, and art history Though Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari were not strictly art historians, they reinvigorated ontological and formal approaches to art, and simultaneously borrowed art historical concepts for their own philosophical work. They were dedicated modernists, inspired by the German school of expressionist art historians such as Riegl, Wölfflin, and Worringer and the great modernist art critics such as Rosenberg, Steinberg, Greenberg, and Fried. The work of Deleuze and Guattari on mannerism and Baroque art has led to new approaches to these artistic periods, and their radical transdisciplinarity has influenced contemporary art lik...
Deleuze and the Passions
In recent years the humanities, social sciences and neuroscience have witnessed an 'affective turn, ' especially in discourses around post-Fordist labor, economic and ecological crises, populism and identity politics, mental health, and political struggle. This new awareness would be unthinkable without the pioneering work of Gilles Deleuze, who replaced judgment with affect as the very material movement of thought: every concept is an affective experience, a becoming. Besides entirely active affects, the highest practice of thought, there is no thought without passive affects or passions. Instead of a calm and rational philosophy of passions, Deleuzian thought is therefore inseparable from ...
Melanchthons Briefwechsel
After the end of the Schmalkaldic War, the reorganization of the territories began. 233 letters show the many uncertainties involved in the altered political situation as well as Melanchthon's state of mind as he received many offers from other places but still felt home was where he could be with his friends. Melanchthon was much sought after as a conversation partner when it came to planning the university system. He took part in negotiations regarding the foundation of a university in Jena but was then summoned to Wittenberg where deliberations were in progress regarding the reopening of the university. He was lonely there without his friends, since he missed being able to exchange ideas ...
Critical and Clinical Cartographies
Critical and Clinical Cartographies rethinks medical and design pedagogies in the context of both the Affective and Digital Turns that are occurring under the umbrella of New Materialism. This collection is framed through Deleuze's symptomalogical approach which creates the ideal terrain for architecture and medical technologies of care to meet with robotics, alongside the newly emerging 'materialist landscape'.
The Katharina Code
Set between the icy streets and dark forests of Norway, a heart-stopping story of one man’s obsession with his coldest case, by “one of the most brilliantly understated crime novelists writing today” (The Sunday Times, London). Katharina went missing twenty-four years ago. Each year on the anniversary of her disappearance, Chief Inspector William Wisting rereads her files, searching for the answer he could never find; the code he could never solve. And he visits Katharina’s husband, Martin Haugen, the brokenhearted man he could never help. Until now. This year is different. Another woman is missing under similar circumstances. But so is Katharina’s husband. Wisting has to find him, but is he rescuing a dear old friend or playing a deadly game with a killer? A brilliantly understated crime novel that examines the long-term costs of lying to ourselves and each other through an atmospheric psychological game of cat-and-mouse.

Frei-Sprechen und Wahr-Sagen
Wie können Menschen seelsorglich begleitet werden, die mit Gewalt konfrontiert wurden? Thomas Thiel entwickelt vor dem Hintergrund seines Auslandseinsatzes in Kabul und seiner mehrjährigen Erfahrungen in der Begleitung traumatisierter Soldaten und Soldatinnen eine mehrdimensionale Seelsorgetheorie für Menschen, die mit Gewalt konfrontiert wurden. Im Gespräch mit biblischen Texten sowie antiker und zeitgenössischer Philosophie und Belletristik werden Grundlagen für ein erweitertes Seelsorgeverständnis gelegt. Er nimmt aktuelle Diskussionen der Psychotraumatologie über moralische Verletzungen, Scham und Schuld auf und vertieft diese spirituell. Selbstsorge und Leibsorge bilden dabei besondere Schwerpunkte seiner Arbeit. Der Autor erörtert im Diskurs mit Michel Foucault, wie das Frei-Sprechen in seinen verschiedenen Aspekten zum Wahr-Sagen führen kann. Im Zuge dessen verschränken sich die individuelle und die gesellschaftliche Perspektive zu einem Entwurf für eine allgemeine Seelsorgelehre.
