Author: Thomas Frank File Type: pdf p Segoe UIWhile the youth counterculture remains the most evocative and best-remembered symbol of the cultural ferment of the 1960s, the revolution that shook American business during those boom years has gone largely unremarked. In this fascinating and revealing study, Thomas Frank shows how the youthful revolutionaries were joinedand even anticipated by such unlikely allies as the advertising industry and the mens clothing business.p Segoe UI[Thomas Frank is] perhaps the most provocative young cultural critic of the moment.Gerald Marzorati,New York Times Book Reviewp Segoe UIAn indispensable survival guide for any modern consumer.Publishers Weekly, starred reviewp Segoe UIFrank makes an ironclad case not only that the advertising industry cunningly turned the countercultural rhetoric of revolution into a rallying cry to buy more stuff, but that the process itself actually predated any actual counterculture to exploit.Geoff Pevere,Toronto Globe and Mailp Segoe UIThe Conquest of Coolhelps us understand why, throughout the last third of the twentieth century, Americans have increasingly confused gentility with conformity, irony with protest, and an extended middle finger with a populist manifesto. . . .

Author: Katerina Kolozova File Type: pdf This is a passionately engaged work that dramatizes the radical stakes of Marxs and Laruelles projects while drawing creatively on the work of Butler, Firestone, and Haraway along the way. It is at once the best possible introduction to Laruelles appropriation of Marx and a Marxian radicalization of Laruelles non-standard philosophy. ~Ray Brassier Katerina Kolozova delivers the first accurate and comprehensive study of my interpretation of Marx in my book Introduction to Non-Marxism, and more generally, of contemporary Marxism. ... In vigorous fashion, Kolozova re-awakens Marxism and rescues it from its torpor. ~ Francois Laruelle Departing from the conventional readings of Karl Marxs Capital and other of his works, by way of Francois Laruelles radicalization of concepts, Katerina Kolozova identifies a theoretical kernel in Marxs thought whose critical and interpretative force can be employed without reference to its subsequent interpretations in the philosophical mainstream. The latter entails a process of abstracting a philosophical legacy or rather, of putting it in brackets and then codifying a history of a learned interpretation established in supposed fidelity to the theoretical project of a master. Interpreting the master implies a mastery of doctrinal tools, which results in establishing a catechism of the Logos of the Master. And this catechism interferes, Kolozova argues, with more direct encounters with Marxs writings. As we know, Marxs rigorously descriptive language unravels the radical core of capitalist economic processes and, through that unraveling, also reveals capitalisms necessary exploitation and subjugation of human labor. Toward a Radical Metaphysics of Socialism attempts to recuperate and emancipate the notion of metaphysics in this scenario by virtue of radicalizing thoughts encounter with the Real. Kolozova argues that this metaphysical drama is at the origin of the social and economic injustices of contemporary global economic-political realities, and she illustrates this state of affairs in discussions of the problem of wage labor, automated speculation as the core of late capitalism, the post-2008 financial crisis, the status of technology in late capitalism, sexual difference and gender, and the human and non-human bodys subjugation capitalist automation. TABLE OF CONTENTS Chap. 1 Introduction Chap. 2 The Possibility of Immanent Revolt as Theory and Political Praxis Chap. 3 Metaphysics of the Finance Economy Chap. 4 The Metaphysics of Capitalism and the Socialist Response Chap. 5 Technology, the Body and the Materialist Determination in the Last Instance of the Communist Society of Cyborgs **About the Author Katerina Kolozova, PhD, is the director of the Institute in Social Sciences and Humanities-Skopje, Macedonia and a professor of gender studies at the University American College-Skopje. She is also visiting professor at several universities in Former Yugoslavia and Bulgaria. In 2009, Kolozova was a visiting scholar in the Department of Rhetoric (Program of Critical Theory) at the University of California-Berkeley. She is is the author of Cut of the Real Subjectivity in Poststucturalist Philosophy (Columbia University Press, 2014). In his reading of Marx, Francois Laruelle suggests a parallel between the role played by the value-form in capital and that of philosophizability as a form governing the economy of thinking. Taking up both Laruelle and Marx, Katerina Kolozova spells out the link between Marxs demystification of the metaphysics of capital and Laruelles demystification of the form of philosophy in thought. But Kolozova goes beyond Laruelle by using Marx to concretize the basic categories of non-standard philosophy at the same time as she uses Laruelle to render immanent the categories of Marxist theory labour-power, commodity-fetishism, alienation, exploitation, and revolution. This is a passionately engaged work that dramatizes the radical stakes of Marxs and Laruelles projects while drawing creatively on the work of Butler, Firestone, and Haraway along the way. It is at once the best possible introduction to Laruelles appropriation of Marx and a Marxian radicalization of Laruelles non-standard philosophy. (Ray Brassier) Katerina Kolozova delivers the first accurate and comprehensive study of my interpretation of Marx in my book Introduction to Non-Marxism, and more generally, of contemporary Marxism. She treats Marxs texts like an open chora, which allows her to examine what non-standard Marxism adds, rightly or wrongly, to the conceptualization of the real and more fundamentally of the determination in the final instance. She offers compelling analyses of fetishism, alienation, the organic body in its jouissance and suffering, and immanent revolt, and she also tests out new concepts for all these problems. But she also re-reads in a timely and astonishing way the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis. And finally, she ends by addressing the problem of utopia by way of communist-feminist cyborgs! In vigorous fashion, Kolozova re-awakens Marxism and rescues it from its torpor. (Francois Laruelle)
