Introduction to Antiphilosophy
Philosophy is traditionally understood as the search for universal truths, and philosophers are supposed to transmit those truths beyond the limits of their own culture. But, today, we have become sceptical about the ability of an individual philosopher to engage in 'universal thinking', so philosophy seems to capitulate in the face of cultural relativism. In Introduction to Antiphilosophy, Boris Groys argues that modern 'antiphilosophy' does not pursue the universality of thought as its goal but proposes in its place the universality of life, material forces, social practices, passions, and experiences - angst, vitality, ecstasy, the gift, revolution, laughter or 'profane illumination' - and he analyses this shift from thought to life and action in the work of thinkers from Kierkegaard to Derrida, from Nietzsche to Benjamin. Ranging across the history of modern thought, Introduction to Antiphilosophy endeavours to liberate philosophy from the stereotypes that hinder its development.
The Writing Culture of Ordinary People in Europe, C.1860-1920
A fascinating account of how ordinary people met the challenges of literacy in modern Europe, as distances between people increased.

Under Suspicion
The public generally regards the media with suspicion and distrust. Therefore, the media's primary concern is to regain that trust through the production of sincerity. Advancing the field of media studies in a truly innovative way, Boris Groys focuses on the media's affect of sincerity and its manufacture of trust to appease skeptics. Groys identifies forms of media sincerity and its effect on politics, culture, society, and conceptions of the self. He relies on different philosophical writings thematizing the gaze of the other, from the theories of Heidegger, Sartre, Mauss, and Bataille to the poststructuralist formulations of Lacan and Derrida. He also considers media "states of exception" and their creation of effects of sincerity—a strategy that feeds the media's predilection for the extraordinary and the sensational, further fueling the public's suspicions. Emphasizing the media's production of emotion over the presentation (or lack thereof) of "facts," Groys launches a timely study boldly challenging the presumed authenticity of the media's worldview.
Introduction to Syndemics
This book explains the growing field of syndemic theory and research, a framework for the analysis and prevention of disease interactions that addresses underlying social and environmental causes. This perspective complements single-issue prevention strategies, which can be effective for discrete problems, but often are mismatched to the goal of protecting the public's health in its widest sense. "Merrill Singer has astutely described why health problems should not be seen in isolation, but rather in the context of other diseases and the social and economic inequities that fuel them. An important read for public health and social scientists." —Michael H. Merson, director, Duke Global Healt...
The Science of Culture
Leslie White was one of the most important and controversial figures in American anthropology. This classic work, initially published in 1949, contains White's definitive statement on what he termed "culturology." In his new prologue to this reprint of the second edition, Robert Carneiro outlines the key events in White's life and career, especially his championing of cultural evolutionism and cultural materialism. Praise from readers "Republishing these pioneer articles now makes White's fundamental exposition easily available to a new generation of social scientists." Richard N. Adams, University of Texas "One of the best works ever produced by an anthropologist. White was a remarkable thinker and his writings were filled with 'intellectual content.'" Lewis R. Binford, Southern Methodist University "The enduring foundation of a science of culture is made supremely accessible thanks to the lucidity of White's writing." Robert Bates Graber, Truman State University "Written with a straightforward crispness. A welcome treat in an age when obscurity is often confused with profundity." David Kaplan, Brandeis University
Historia de una desobediencia
Historia de una desobediencia. Aborto y feminismo "escapa (por suerte) a las tipificaciones disciplinarias y por ende resiste una lectura convencional", como bien señala el prólogo de este libro. Es una rigurosa constelación de genealogías y cartografías de las luchas por el derecho al aborto en Argentina, desde los años setenta hasta la actualidad. Por lo que se torna un material de lectura obligada tanto para el activismo callejero como para las especialistas varias. "Ningún libro da cuenta de todo", dice Mabel Bellucci; no obstante, realiza un notable esfuerzo por plasmar a lo largo de sus páginas una pluralidad de voces y de recorridos transitados alrededor del "único lugar dond...
Las películas que Lacan vio y aplicó al psicoanálisis
Es probable que si Freud hubiera conocido de cerca el proceso de realización de un filme, hubiera incluido esta tarea en su famosa tríada de "imposibles": gobernar-educar-psicoanalizar. En Las películas que Lacan vio y aplicó al psicoanálisis, Carlos Gustavo Motta investiga la relación que existe entre cine y teoría psicoanalítica lacaniana, a partir de las referencias que Jacques Lacan hace en sus escritos y seminarios, que no son meras ilustraciones sino que enriquecen su teoría. Los directores citados y sus obras son considerados clásicos del cine universal, por lo cual sus comentarios serán de aplicación para los profesionales del cine en todas sus orientaciones y para psicoa...
