Race Marxism: The Truth About Critical Race Theory and Praxis
by Lindsay, James       
(Paperback - English - 9798795809083)
#14 AMAZON BESTSELLER! As seen on The Joe Rogan Experience and The Glenn Beck Program . Critical Race Theory is one of the hottest and most controversial topics in the world today, but what is it, really? Rightly understood, Critical Race Theory is a reinvention of an older, terrible idea, Marxism, using race "as the central construct for understanding inequality" in place of economic class. That is, Critical Race Theory is Race Marxism. The evidence of this claim is so overwhelming upon even casual examination that it is a shock that it isn't immediately plain to everyone who encounters it. Therefore, this book by James Lindsay, the leading investigator of ..

The Sacred Conspiracy: The Internal Papers of the Secret Society of Acéphale and Lectures to the College of Sociology
by Bataille, Georges    Brotchie, Alastair    Brotchie, Alastair
(Hardcover - English - 9781900565950)
strong Georges Bataille's secret society, long the stuff of legend, is now revealed in its texts, meditations, rules and prohibitions strong This book recounts what must be one of the most unusual intellectual journeys of modern times, in which the influential philosopher, cultural theorist and occasional pornographer Georges Bataille (1897-1962), having spent the early 1930s in far-left groups opposing the rise of fascism, abandoned that approach in order to transfer the struggle onto the mythological plane. In 1937, Bataille founded two groups in order to explore the combinations of power and the sacred at work in society. The first group, the College of S ..

The Communism of Love: An Inquiry Into the Poverty of Exchange Value
by Gilman-Opalsky, Richard       
(Paperback - English - 9781849353915)
A reminder of the most powerful and sustaining force in our lives. And that it's under constant threat. Exploring the meanings and powers of love from ancient Greece to the present day, Richard Gilman-Opalsky argues that what is called "love" by the best thinkers who have approached the subject is in fact the beating heart of communism--understood as a way of living, not as a form of government. Along the way, he reveals with clarity that the capitalist way of assigning value to things is incapable of appreciating what humans value most. Capitalism cannot value the experiences and relationships that make our lives worth living and can only destroy love by turn ..

The Case for Reduction
by Holzhey, Christoph F. E.    Schillinger, Jakob   
(Paperback - English - 9783965580404)
Critical discourse hardly knows a more devastating charge against theories, technologies, or structures than that of being reductive. Yet, expansion and growth cannot fare any better today. This volume suspends anti-reductionist reflexes to focus on the experiences and practices of different kinds of reduction, their generative potentials, ethics, and politics. Can their violences be contained and their benefits transported to other contexts? ..

Errans: Going Astray, Being Adrift, Coming to Nothing
by Holzhey, Christoph F. E.    Wedemeyer, Arnd   
(Paperback - English - 9783965580367)
Todays critical discourses and theorizing vanguards agree on the importance of getting lost, of failure, of erring - as do life coaches and business gurus. The taste for a departure from progress and other teleologies, the fascination with disorder, unfocused modes of attention, or improvisational performances cut across wide swaths of scholarly and activist discourses, practices in the arts, but also in business, warfare, and politics. Yet often the laudable failures are only those that are redeemed by subsequent successes. What could it mean to think errancy beyond such restrictions? And what would a radical critique of productivity, success, and fixed deter ..

Dark Ecology: For a Logic of Future Coexistence
by Morton, Timothy       
(Paperback - English - 9780231177535)
Timothy Morton argues that ecological awareness in the present Anthropocene era takes the form of a strange loop or M bius strip, twisted to have only one side. Deckard travels this oedipal path in Blade Runner (1982) when he learns that he might be the enemy he has been ordered to pursue. Ecological awareness takes this shape because ecological phenomena have a loop form that is also fundamental to the structure of how things are. The logistics of agricultural society resulted in global warming and hardwired dangerous ideas about life-forms into the human mind. Dark ecology puts us in an uncanny position of radical self-knowledge, illuminating our place in th ..

The Biopolitics of Punishment: Derrida and Foucault
by Elmore, Rick    Islekel, Ege Selin    Bargu, Banu
(Paperback - English - 9780810144873)
This volume marks a new chapter in the long-standing debate between Jacques Derrida and Michel Foucault regarding argumentative methods and their political implications. The essays chart the undertheorized dialogue between the two philosophers on questions of life, death, punishment, and power--an untapped point of departure from which we might continue to read the convergence and divergence of their work. What possibilities for political resistance might this dialogue uncover? And how might they relate to contemporary political crises? With the resurgence of fascism and authoritarianism across the globe, the rise of white supremacist and xenophobic violence, ..

In the Ruins of Neoliberalism: The Rise of Antidemocratic Politics in the West
by Brown, Wendy       
(Paperback - English - 9780231193856)
Across the West, hard-right leaders are surging to power on platforms of ethno-economic nationalism, Christianity, and traditional family values. Is this phenomenon the end of neoliberalism or its monstrous offspring? In the Ruins of Neoliberalism casts the hard-right turn as animated by socioeconomically aggrieved white working- and middle-class populations but contoured by neoliberalism's multipronged assault on democratic values. From its inception, neoliberalism flirted with authoritarian liberalism as it warred against robust democracy. It repelled social-justice claims through appeals to market freedom and morality. It sought to de-democratize the state, ..

Psychoanalysis and Solidarity
by Rada, Michelle       
(Paperback - English - 9781478019701)
Freud's earliest hysterical analysands reported a shared grievance about psychoanalysis: while their individual suffering was conditioned by social circumstances, Freud could not "alter these in any way." If psychic illness is tied to repressive external conditions that the psychoanalyst cannot change, how can a method circumscribed to the individual's inner life offer liberation, even cure? Motivated by the hysteric's desire for a better life and Freud's commitment to our intersubjectivity in common, contributors to this special issue consider psychoanalysis as a political project that holds open the space of collective action--from the analyst's couch to the p ..

The Green New Deal and the Future of Work
by Calhoun, Craig J.    Fong, Benjamin Y.   
(Paperback - English - 9780231205573)
Catastrophic climate change overshadows the present and the future. Wrenching economic transformations have devastated workers and hollowed out communities. However, those fighting for jobs and those fighting for the planet have often been at odds. Does the world face two separate crises, environmental and economic? The promise of the Green New Deal is to tackle the threat of climate change through the empowerment of working people and the strengthening of democracy. In this view, the crisis of nature and the crisis of work must be addressed together-or they will not be addressed at all. br This book brings together leading experts to explore the possibilities ..

Critique and Praxis
by Harcourt, Bernard E.       
(Paperback - English - 9780231195737)
Critical philosophy has always challenged the division between theory and practice. At its best, it aims to turn contemplation into emancipation, seeking to transform society in pursuit of equality, autonomy, and human flourishing. Yet today's critical theory often seems to engage only in critique. These times of crisis demand more. Bernard E. Harcourt challenges us to move beyond decades of philosophical detours and to harness critical thought to the need for action. In a time of increasing awareness of economic and social inequality, Harcourt calls on us to make society more equal and just. Only critical theory can guide us toward a more self-reflexive pursui ..

The Six Secrets of Intelligence: Change the Way You Think about Thinking
by Adams, Craig       
(Paperback - English - 9781785786525)
Some people have something to say in any conversation and can spot the hidden angles of completely unrelated problems; but how do they do it? So many books, apps, courses, and schools compete for our attention that the problem isn't a lack of opportunity to sharpen our minds, it's having to choose between so many options. And yet, more than two thousand years ago, the greatest thinker of Ancient Greece had already discovered the blueprint of the human mind. Despite the fact that the latest cognitive science shows his blueprint to be exactly what sharpens our reasoning, subtlety of thought, and ability to think in different ways and for ourselves, we have meanw ..

Neoliberalism and Cyberpunk Science Fiction: Living on the Edge of Burnout
by Alphin, Caroline       
(Paperback - English - 9780367685904)
Caroline Alphin presents an original exploration of biopolitics by examining it through the lens of cyberpunk science fiction. Comprised of five chapters, Neoliberalism and Cyberpunk Science Fiction is guided by four central themes: biopolitics, intensification, resilience, and accelerationism. The first chapters examine the political possibilities of cyberpunk as a genre of science fiction and introduce one kind of neoliberal subject, the self-monitoring cyborg. These are individuals who join fitness health tracking devices and applications to their body to self-cultivate. Here, Alphin presents concrete examples of how fitness trackers are a strategy of neolib ..
