Author: Constantin V. Boundas File Type: pdf p Segoe UI, serif 13pxThis volume presents the concepts of schizoanalysis and ecosophy as Felix Guattari and Gilles Deleuze understood them, in interviews and analyses by their contemporaries and followers. p Segoe UI, serif 13pxThis accessible yet authoritative introduction is written by distinguished specialists, combining testimonies from some of Guattaris colleagues at the La Borde psychiatric clinic where he practiced, with expository essays on his main ideas, schizoanalysis and ecosophy, as well as his relations with Lacan. The last section of the book deals with the subsequent creative application of those ideas by his philosophical and psychoanalytic followers situated within the contemporary moment. This collection also provides the crucial historical context of France at the time Guattari was developing his concepts, including the role of the Maoists and the significance of the political situation in Algeria.font face=Segoe UI, serif size=2Introduction, Constantin V.

Eco-philosophy extends well beyond exegesis and commentary to a radical transformation of philosophy by way of ecological thinking. The authors gathered in this volume include rising stars in Deleuze studies alongside established authors. This book will be important reading for anyone working in the environmental humanities. Claire Colebrook, Professor of English, Philosophy, and Gender and Sexuality Studies, Penn State University, USA p Segoe UI, serif 13pxThis important and timely book will be useful to both those familiar with the work of Guattari and Deleuze and those coming to the fields of schizoanalysis and ecosophy for the first time. It not only carefully examines the sources of both fields in Freud, Lacan and Marx and Guattaris engagements with anti-psychiatry (at the La Borde clinic) and political activism, but also explicitly and painstakingly adds environmental ecology to the social and psychological ecologies featured in Anti-Oedipus. Tracing the development of Guattaris work beyond the earlier collaborative work with Deleuze, it goes on to explore some of the implications of schizoanalysis and ecosophy for diverse practices in the theater, schooling, art and dream therapy, and ethics. The kind of careful and cogent explications of Guattaris contributions to theory, therapy, and activism found in these essays is long overdue. Eugene W. Holland, Professor Emeritus of Comparative Studies, The Ohio State University, USA p Segoe UI, serif 13pxIt is wonderful to have these new essays about Guattaris practice of psychoanalysis and the history of concepts and political controversies around it readers of Guattaris theoretical work have been missing this, and this collection gives it to us. Beginning with Anne Querriens fascinating reflections on the La Borde clinic in the 1960s, hearing testimony about the history of these lively debates (populated by Parisian Marxists, Catalan refugees, and feminist activists), is immensely helpful for understanding Guattaris extremely difficult philosophical writings. It is great to see Guattaris abstract conceptual apparatus tied back to clinical practices.

Author: Cemil Aydin File Type: pdf When President Barack Obama visited Cairo in 2009 to deliver an address to Muslims worldwide, he followed in the footsteps of countless politicians who have taken the existence of a unified global Muslim community for granted. But as Cemil Aydin explains in this provocative history, it is a misconception to think that the worlds 1.5 billion Muslims constitute a single religio-political entity. How did this belief arise, and why is it so widespread? The Idea of the Muslim World searches for the intellectual origins of a mistaken notion and explains its enduring allure for non-Muslims and Muslims alike. Conceived as the antithesis of Western Christian civilization, the idea of the Muslim world emerged in the late nineteenth century, when European empires ruled the majority of Muslims. It was inflected from the start by theories of white supremacy, but Muslims had a hand in shaping the idea as well. Aydin reveals the role of Muslim intellectuals in envisioning and essentializing an idealized pan-Islamic society that refuted claims of Muslims racial and civilizational inferiority. After playing a key role in the politics of the Ottoman Caliphate, the idea of the Muslim world survived decolonization and the Cold War, and took on new force in the late twentieth century. Standing at the center of both Islamophobic and pan-Islamic ideologies, the idea of the Muslim world continues to hold the global imagination in a grip that will need to be loosened in order to begin a more fruitful discussion about politics in Muslim societies today. **

Author: Paul Weindling File Type: pdf Representing a new wave of research and analysis on Nazi human experiments and coerced research, the chapters in this volume deliberately break from a top-down history limited to concentration camp experiments under the control of Himmler and the SS. Instead the collection positions extreme experiments (where research subjects were taken to the point of death) within a far wider spectrum of abusive coerced research. The book considers the experiments not in isolation but as integrated within wider aspects of medical provision as it became caught up in the Nazi war economy, revealing that researchers were opportunistic and retained considerable autonomy. The sacrifice of so many prisoners, patients and otherwise healthy people rounded up as detainees raises important issues about the identities of the research subjects who were they, how did they feel, how many research subjects were there and how many survived? This underworld of the victims of the elite science of German medical institutes and clinics has until now remained a marginal historical concern. Jews were a target group, but so were gypsiesSinti and Roma, the mentally ill, prisoners of war and partisans. By exploring when and in what numbers scientists selected one group rather than another, the book provides an important record of the research subjects having agency, reconstructing responses and experiential narratives, and recording how these experiments iconic of extreme racial torture represent one of the worst excesses of Nazism. **
