Apocalypse-Cinema: 2012 And Other Ends of the World
Apocalypse-cinema is not only the end of time that has so often been staged as spectacle in films like 2012, The Day After Tomorrow, and Terminator. By looking at blockbusters that play with general annihilation while also paying close attention to films like Melancholia, Cloverfield, Blade Runner, and Twelve Monkeys, this book suggests that in the apocalyptic genre, film gnaws at its own limit. Apocalypse-cinema is, at the same time and with the…
Thinking Women’s Violence
Exhuming, denaturalizing, historicizing, and politicizing women's violence implicitly means pointing out something fundamentally unthought that undergirds a major share of the research on violence. Such studies tend to consider only masculine forms of violence and relegate the minority participation of women to the margins without noting the gendered dimension of the categories in use. The task before us, then, is not only to qualify the minimal …
The Continental League: A Personal History
In the late 1950s and early 1960s, organized baseball, like the rest of the country, faced serious change. After a decade of prosperity, both the nation itself and the game of baseball reached some

The TV-Box: Reconsidering a Lost Television Set, Santa Claus and the Ants
The TV-Box:Reconsidering a Lost Television Set, Santa Claus and the Ants1 Johanne Villeneuve (bio) Translated by Will Bishop Parameters and Intermediality For several years now, early cinema historians have developed certain notions that can help us define, in a much broader context, the axes of research in intermedial studies. Even though I’ll be giving it a slightly different importance, the notion I will be borrowing from these historians here…
The Present of the Historian
For the last thirty years, the conditions for practicing the historian’s craft have changed and they continue to change in front of our very eyes. One often reads the handy formula of crisis as an explanation of this: a “crisis” of history, “disoriented” history, it has been said, while our relationship to time has continued to change. With our future closed off, the past has been engulfed in shadow and the present has become our sole horizon. In…
Kant in the Land of Extraterrestrials: Cosmopolitical Philosofictions
Without Offending Humans: A Critique of Animal Rights
This book pursues the investigation Fontenay began in her magnum opus, The Silence of the Beasts: Philosophy Confronts Animality with a series of essays of somewhat more topical reach. Fontenay’s perspective is resolutely informed by Continental Philosophy, which brings her to articulate a very strong critique of the pragmatist frame through which animal rights are often defended. Fontenay seeks to maintain the anthropological difference between …
