Foucault, Freedom and Sovereignty
Author: Sergei Prozorov
File Type: pdf
This book presents a novel conception of political freedom developed on the basis of the work of Foucault. Against the prevailing interpretations which disqualify a Foucauldian approach from the discourse of freedom, this study posits freedom as the primary axiological motif of Foucaults writing. Prozorov reconstructs an ontology of freedom in Foucaults textual corpus AND outlines the modalities of its practice in the contemporary terrain of global governance on the basis of a new interpretation of the relation of Foucaults approach to the problematic of sovereignty. Critically engaging with acclaimed post-Foucauldian theories of Giorgio Agamben and Antonio Negri, this book restores the controversial notion of the sovereign subject to the critical discourse on global politics. As a study in political thought, this book will be suitable for students and scholars interested in the problematic of political freedom, philosophy and global governmentality.About the AuthorSergei Prozorov is Professor of International Relations in the Department of International Relations, Faculty of Politics and Social Sciences, Petrozavodsk State University, Russia.

Develops a novel characterization of the pornographic as a cultural concept.This original contribution to porn studies aims to interrogate previously untheorized changes in contemporary understandings of the pornographic. Helen Hester argues that the words porn and pornographic are currently being applied to an ever-expanding range of material and that this change in language usage reflects a wider shift in perception. She suggests that we are witnessing a seemingly paradoxical move away from sex within contemporary understandings of porn, as a range of other factors come to influence the concept. Using examples from media, literature, and culture, and discussing the rise of notions such as torture porn and misery porn, Hesters argument ranges from sexually explicit German novels and British policy documents to a discussion of the differences between European and American editions of pornographic films. She concludes that four factors in particulartransgression, intensity, prurience, and authenticitycan be seen to influence the way that we think about porn.

PETRO

Author: Marshall I. Goldman
File Type: pdf
In the aftermath of the financial collapse of August 1998, it looked as if Russias day as a superpower had come and gone. That it should recover and reassert itself after less than a decade is nothing short of an economic and political miracle.Based on extensive research, including several interviews with Vladimir Putin, this revealing book chronicles Russias dramatic reemergence on the world stage, illuminating the key reason for its rebirth the use of its ever-expanding energy wealth to reassert its traditional great power ambitions. In his deft, informative narrative, Marshall Goldman traces how this has come to be, and how Russia is using its oil-based power as a lever in world politics. The book provides an informative overview of oil in Russia, traces Vladimir Putins determined effort to reign in the upstart oil oligarchs who had risen to power in the post-Soviet era, and describes Putins efforts to renationalize and refashion Russias industries into state companies and his vaunted national champions corporations like Gazprom, largely owned by the state, who do the bidding of the state. Goldman shows how Russia paid off its international debt and has gone on to accumulate the worlds third largest holdings of foreign currency reserves--all by becoming the worlds largest producer of petroleum and the worlds second largest exporter. Today, Vladimir Putin and his cohort have stabilized the Russian economy and recentralized power in Moscow, and fossil fuels (oil and natural gas) have made it all possible.The story of oil and gas in Russia is a tale of discovery, intrigue, corruption, wealth, misguidance, greed, patronage, nepotism, and power. Marshall Goldman tells this story with panache, as only one of the worlds leading authorities on Russia could.

Politics under Salvador Allende was a battle fought in the streets. Everyday attempts to ganar la calle allowed a wide range of urban residents to voice potent political opinions. Santiaguinosmarched through the streets chanting slogans, seized public squares, and plastered city walls with graffiti, posters, and murals. Urban art might only last a few hours or a day before being torn down or painted over, but such activism allowed a wide range of city dwellers to participate in the national political arena. These popular political strategies were developed under democracy, only to be reimagined under the Pinochet dictatorship. Ephemeral Histories places urban conflict at the heart of Chilean history, exploring how marches and protests, posters and murals, documentary film and street photography, became the basis of a new form of political change in Latin America in the late twentieth century. **From the Inside Flap Bold and original, built upon repeated acts of disciplinary transgression, Ephemeral Histories is a remarkable work ofhistorical recuperation.From graffiti and photography to architecture and urban planning, Trumpersrange is astonishing. Bringing thephysical space of Santiago--its streets and walls, its homes and neighborhoods--into sharp relief, Trumperreveals the array of forms, places, and everyday practices through which politics was made public in the turbulent eras of Allende and Pinochet.Rarely has the promise of interdisciplinarity been so vividly realized. Raymond Craib, author of The Cry of the Renegade Politics and Poetry in Interwar Chile With a sensitive eye for the ephemeral and the mundane, drawing from a diverse and neglected archive of public life, Trumper tells the story of a creative moment in Chilean and Latin American history, and explains the broad repression that followed it. His innovative approach to the public sphere offers new possibilities for a strongly conceptualized yet empirically rich history of politics and culture.Pablo A. Piccato, Columbia University Trumper innovatively links familiar subjects to trailblazing and absorbing discussions of the UNCTAD building, photography, and posters during Salvador Allendes Chilean road to socialism, providing great insight into the relationship between sociopolitical conflict, visual propellants and manifestations of discourse, and urban space.Ephemeral Historiesis an original piece of scholarship that will push historians and other scholars to question some prevailing narratives on Chile during the late 1960s and early 1970s.Patrick Barr-Melej, Ohio University About the Author Camilo D. Trumper is an Assistant Professor of American Studies and Latin American History at the University at Buffalo, SUNY.

Foreign gunboats forced China, Japan and Korea to open to the outside world in the mid-19th century. The treaties signed included rules forbidding local courts from trying foreigners or, extraterritoriality. Britain and the United States established consular courts in all three countries and, as trade grew, the British Supreme Court for China and Japan and the United States Court for China. These courts for many decadesover 100 years in Chinadispensed British and American justice in the Far East. Extraterritoriality had a huge impact, which continues to this day, on how China and Japan view the world. This book tells its history through the fascinating cast of characters both on and before the bench and the many challenging issues the courts faced including war, riots, rebellion, corruption, murder, infidelity, and, even, a failed hanging. Doug Clark, a practicing lawyer who has lived in China, Japan and Korea for over 25 years, has trawled through dusty archives around the world to bring back to life this long-forgotten exotic world. **

The books that assaulted the fort of propriety that was the United States in the 1950s and 60s, Lady Chatterleys Lover and The Tropic of Cancer. The Evergreen Review. Victorian erotica. The Autobiography of Malcolm X. A bombing, a sit-in, and a near-fistfight with Norman Mailer. The common thread between these disparate elements, a number of which reshaped modern culture, was Barney Rosset. Rosset was the antidote to the trope of the gentleman publisher personified by other pioneering figures of the industry such as Alfred A. Knopf, Bennett Cerf and James Laughlin. If Barney saw a crowd heading one wayhe looked the other. If he knew something was forbidden, he regarded it as a plus. Unsurprisingly, financial ruin, along with the highs and lows of critical reception, marked his career. But his unswerving dedication to publishing what he wanted made him one of the most influential publishers ever. Rosset began work on his autobiography a decade before his death in 2012, and several publishers and a number of editors worked with him on the project. Now, at last, in his own words, we have a portrait of the man who reshaped how we think about language, literatureand sex. Here are the stories behind the filming of Norman Mailers Maidstone and Samuel Becketts Film the battles with the US government over Tropic of Cancer and much else the search for Ches diaries his romance with the expressionist painter Joan Mitchell, and more.
