  • Administering Interpretation: Derrida, Agamben, and the Political Theology of Law

    Giovanna Borradori, Marinos Diamantides et al.BOOKAdministering Interpretation2020

    Populism in politics and policy orientations in law have thrown the jurisdiction of the academy and the disciplines of interpretation into disarray. Critique flounders in abstraction and negativity, law loses itself in particularity. Administering Interpretation brings together philosophers, humanists, and jurists from both continental and Anglophone jurisdictions to reassess the status and trajectory of interpretative theory as applied in the ar…

  • Tarrying with the Negative: Kant, Hegel, and the Critique of Ideology

    Fredric Jameson, Slavoj Žižek et al.BOOKTarrying with the Negative2020

Perhaps more than any other single author, his writings have constituted the most compelling evidence available for recognizing Jacques Lacan as the preemient philosopher of our time.In Tarrying with the Negative, Žižek challen…

  • Belated Travelers: Orientalism in the Age of Colonial Dissolution

    Ali Behdad, Stanley Fish et al.BOOKBelated Travelers2020

    In Belated Travelers, Ali Behdad offers a compelling cultural critique of nineteenth-century travel writing and its dynamic function in European colonialism. Arriving too late to the Orient, at a time when tourism and colonialism had already turned the exotic into the familiar, late nineteenth-century European travelers to the Middle East experienced a sense of belatedness, of having missed the authentic experience once offered by a world that wa…

  • First: How to Think about Hate Speech, Campus Speech, Religious Speech, Fake News, Post-Truth, and Donald Trump

    Stanley FishBOOKFirst2019

    How does the First Amendment really work? Is it a principle or a value? What is hate speech and should it always be banned? Are we free to declare our religious beliefs in the public square? What role, if any, should companies like Facebook play in policing the exchange of thoughts, ideas, and opinions? With clarity and power, Stanley Fish, "America's most famous professor" (BookPage), explores these complex questions in The First. From the rise …

    Fredric Jameson, Phillip E Wegner et al.BOOKLife Between Two Deaths, 1989-20012009

    Through virtuoso readings of significant works of American film, television, and fiction, Phillip E. Wegner demonstrates that the period between the fall of the Berlin Wall in November 1989 and the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 fostered a unique consciousness and represented a moment of immense historical possibilities now at risk of being forgotten in the midst of the "war on terror." Wegner argues that 9/11 should be understood as a f…
