The Despair of the Noir Generation: Wajda’s Ashes and Diamonds
Alan Woolfolk provides a political study of Andrzej Wajda’s Popiól i diament ( Ashes and Diamonds , 1958). He uses the theme of compromised agency to address the inescapable legacy of Polish struggles against the Third Reich that were followed by violent conflict between Polish nationalists and Communists. The chapter explores how character and nation are inexorably bonded in this dark drama.

Nietzsche and Political Thought
Friedrich Nietzsche was a troublesome genius, a figure outside the mainstream philosophical tradition whose very apartness has made him central to contemporary philosophy. Nietzsche and Political Thought reclaims the political implications of Nietzsche's work: it shows how his philosophy of power addresses key issues in modern political thought especially those having to do with the historical and cultural nature of human agency.In this thought-p…
