Making Malcolm
Malcolm X's cultural rebirth--his improbable second coming--brims with irony. The nineties are marked by intense and often angry debates about racial authenticity and "selling out," and the participants in these debates--from politicians to filmmakers to rap artists--often draw on Malcolm's scorching rebukes to such moves. Meanwhile, Malcolm's "X" is marketed in countless business endeavors and is stylishly branded on baseball hats and T-shirts sported by every age, race, and gender. But this rampant commercialization is only a small part of Malcolm's remarkable renaissance. One of the century's most complex black leaders, he is currently blazing a new path across contemporary popular cultur...
The Neuro-Image
Arguing that today's viewers move through a character's brain instead of looking through his or her eyes or mental landscape, this book approaches twenty-first-century globalized cinema through the concept of the "neuro-image." Pisters explains why this concept has emerged now, and she elaborates its threefold nature through research from three domains—Deleuzian (schizoanalytic) philosophy, digital networked screen culture, and neuroscientific research. These domains return in the book's tripartite structure. Part One, on the brain as "neuroscreen," suggests rich connections between film theory, mental illness, and cognitive neuroscience. Part Two explores neuro-images from a philosophical perspective, paying close attention to their ontological, epistemological, and aesthetic dimensions. Political and ethical aspects of the neuro-image are discussed in Part Three. Topics covered along the way include the omnipresence of surveillance, the blurring of the false and the real and the affective powers of the neo-baroque, and the use of neuro-images in politics, historical memory, and war.
Spiritual Crisis
The American comedienne Lily Tomlin once observed with surprise that we call it 'praying' when we talk to God and 'schizophrenia' when God talks back to us. In this book people speak about inner experiences in which they perceived themselves and the world so differently that they thought they were going mad. Experiences of existential voids, heights and depths, freezing wastes and silences, of pure energy, love and fear, oneness and chaos. They found no explanation in science or religion; traditional standards of normality and morality brought them no further than 'madness' and 'heresy'. From sheer necessity they learned to steer by a sort of inner compass, and began to tap unconventional re...

In wat voor land leef ik eigenlijk?
Het leven en werk van Anil Ramdas (Paramaribo, 1958) laat zich lezen als een rusteloze reis van een schrijver op zoek naar een allesomvattend antwoord op vragen over beschaving, identiteit en afkomst. Een reis die vroegtijdig ten einde kwam met zijn zelfmoord in 2012. De tragiek van zijn leven werd vaak gezocht in zijn thuisloosheid en de ontworteling die zo kenmerkend is voor het bestaan van de migrant. Amatmoekrim voegt hier een ander perspectief aan toe: in een tijd waarin populistische opvattingen verschuiven van de onderbuik naar het centrum van ons politiek denken, houdt Anil Ramdas de Nederlander een genadeloze spiegel voor. Wat zegt de manier waarop Ramdas werd gelezen en begrepen ov...
