Heterology or 'The Science of the Excluded Part: An Introduction
The text introduces the special issue on Georges Bataille and his idea of heterology. The editors, Marina Galletti and Roy Boyne, immediately point out the novelty of Bataille's heterology, both in the academic and political contexts of the 1920s and the present day. It is suggested that Bataille's heterology is neither a technical-philosophical notion nor a definitive concept. Rather, heterology represents the challenge of the illicit parts of o…
Communicative Rationality and Desire
This chapter examines the compatibility or otherwise of the standpoints of desire and communicative rationality. Rationality is a concept primarily applicable to agents, whether individual or collective. Clearly, in Habermas&s;s case, such a theory is being developed through the interanimation of the ideas of communicative rationality and those of moral identity. The radical projects of both the poststructuralist theory of desire and Habermas&s;s…
The Future: Six Drivers of Global Change by Al Gore
Foucault and Derrida: The Other Side of Reason
The writings of Michel Foucault and Jacques Derrida pose a serious challenge to the old established, but now seriously compromised forms of thought. In this compelling book, Roy Boyne explains the very significant advances for which they have been responsible, their general importance for the human sciences, and the forms of hope that they offer for an age often characterized by scepticism, cynicism and reaction. The focus of the book is the disp…

Introduction: Three Responses to Zygmunt Bauman
This introduction reflects on the themes of viscosity, death and the Other in three essays, written by John Milbank, Julia Hell, and Martin Jay, which provide a response — respectively — to three of Professor Zygmunt Bauman’s key works: Legislators and Interpreters, Modernity and the Holocaust, and Liquid Modernity
A Brief Note on Giacometti
Giacometti's work is not comforting. Whether it is seen as driven by abandonment of faith in history, or the surrealist recognition that everything is part of pitiless connection and transmutation, the role of Giacometti's self-understanding in the critical and popular reception of his work is highly significant, and perhaps not sufficiently challenged. Through short discussions of the commentaries on Giacometti's work, by Krauss, Sartre, Sylvest…

Classification
First thoughts about classification inevitably turn to the simultaneously mundane and extraordinary ambition to capture the universe of all that there is and has been. This dream of the universal has two basic modes (and so the process begins!). First, I will follow the spirit of theos and logos as represented by the Platonic embrace of totality enshrined in Socrates' scrupulous rejection of rhetorical dishonesty. Second, I will address the later…

Bourdieu: From Class to Culture
A travers deux ouvrages de Pierre Bourdieu, La distinction et La misere du monde, l'A. examine les tensions qui existent entre differentes lectures de la culture de la classe ouvriere, sur les registres de la necessite, de la resistance, de l'acceptation et de l'exclusion.

Subject, Society and Culture
This volume explores the relationships between visual culture social theory and the individual. It shows how the concept of the individual is being reconstructed, and addresses the link between social theory, art and cinema and viewing individuals
Cosmopolis and Risk: A Conversation with Ulrich Beck
An exploration of the broad parameters of the post-nation-state sociology which is called for by a powerful and inter-related set of political, economic and cultural factors which are extending globalisation. In this context, theoretical and methodological innovation is to be preferred to the problematic application of older models such as those provided by Hegelian Marxism or Weberianism. Some arguments against the cosmopolitan thesis and risk s…
Post-Panopticism
This paper considers the current status of the concept of the Panopticon, and its relevance both for contemporary social theory and for the analysis of recent trends in the public and private surveillance of individual lives. The origins of the concept from the nineteenth century onwards are examined. A description of the space opened up for Panoptical practices and aspirations, by the development of the welfare state and of anthropological categ…
Crash theory theubiquity of the fetish at the end of time
Citation and Subjectivity: Towards a Return of the Embodied Will
Freudian and phenomenological approaches to subjectivity allow the existence of a residual core self. Recent work within cultural analysis and sociology has rejected such a residue. The writings of Judith Butler and Pierre Bourdieu are two cases in point. In the former case, this refusal functions to provide the possibility of reconstructable gendered identities. For Bourdieu, it confirms the primacy of the social. In both cases, the refusal is p…

The Politics of Postmodernity
In his study Modernity and the Holocaust, Zygmunt Bauman contrasts the hopes and expectations of the modernising world of the nineteenth century with the real outcomes of the twentieth century, where the very conditions of modernity have led to the mass destruction of humanity and of those early hopes for the betterment of humankind. This volume explores the possibilities left to those once modernising societies, not only in terms of the worlds t…

Communicative Rationality and Desire
Over the past three years or so, Telos and New German Critique have opened a debate in which Habermas's theory of communicative rationality has been counterposed to the ‘aesthetic-sensual forms of subjectivity’ advocated by certain French theorists, who have come to be known as the ‘post-structuralists’. Among the latter, the most significant figures are Michel Foucault, Jean-Francois Lyotard, Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari. This confrontation…

Alcibiades as Hero: Derrida/Nietzsche
obscurity of our utterances is constant. The riddle of meaning should remain in the hands of children. To read a book in order to know denotes a certain simplicity. The little that the most reputed works teach us about their author and their reader ought very quickly to decide us against this experiment. It is the thesis and not the expression that disappoints us. I resent passing through these ill-lighted sentences, receiving these confidences w…

The Domain of the Third: French Social Theory into the 1980s
Empty space. The body started off again, heavy and hot, with tremors and flushes of anger assailing the throat and stomach. But no one inhabited that body now. The streets were emptied as though their contents had been poured down a sink: something that a while ago had filled them had been swallowed up. The usual objects were still there, intact, but they had all become disrupted, they descended from the sky like enormous stalactites, or towered …
