  • - Shock, Deferral, Repetition
    av Eran Dorfman
    711

    We are used to seeing the everyday as an ordinary aspect of life, something that we need to overcome; whereas it actually plays a crucial role in any event of our lives. This highly original book engages with a range of thinkers and texts from across the fields of phenomenology, psychoanalysis and critical theory, including Husserl, Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, Freud and Benjamin, together with innovative analysis of French literature and the visual arts, to demonstrate that the role of repetition and deferral in modernity has changed dramatically. Rather than allowing the everyday gradually to integrate singular events into its repetitive texture, events are experienced now as self-enclosed entities, allegedly disconnected from the everyday, leading to its impoverishment. The book thus offers a novel understanding of being, body, trauma and shock, but within the framework of the everyday as a concept that deserves a theory of its very own.

  • - Materialism, Conceptuality and the Transcendence of Immanence
    av Richard A. Lee

    av Stephane Symons

  • - Towards a Politics of Responsibility
    av Nathan Bell
    1 291

  • - Solitude in the Aftermath of Psychoanalysis and Deconstruction
    av Cathrine Bjørnholt Michaelsen

    From the twentieth century into the twenty-first, psychoanalysis and deconstruction have challenged, and continue to challenge, our conceptions of subjectivity and selfhood.
