Infrapolitical Passages proposes to clear a way through some of the dominant political determinations and violent symptoms of contemporary globalization. In doing so, Gareth Williams makes a case for infrapolitics as an enactment of intellectual responsibility in the face of a tumultuous world of war and of technological value extraction on a planetary scale. Williams shows how the politics of contemporary global capital is a race to the bottom of reason itself, extended in the wake of the subordination of all forms of living to the economized relation between means and ends.
The book offers a theory of globalization as a gigantic, directionless crisis in humanity's symbolic organization, as well as a theory of global economic warfare as the very positing of directionlessness and, at the same time, facticity. Williams's infrapolitics stands at a distance from the biopolitical, which it understands as domination presenting itself as the production of specific forms of subjectivity in the face of the commodity. The relation of the subject to domination--and the subsequent obscuring of being--signals the need to circumvent the instrumentalization of life as subordination to the metaphysics of subjectivity, representation, and politics. For this reason, the task for thinking is to confront that which is unavailable in subjectivity and representation. Infrapolitical Passages works to clear a way for facticity in the age of globalization, in order to make room for the infrapolitical question for, and for the decision of, existence.

Описание: How should we share the truth about the environmental crisis? At a moment when even the most basic facts about ecology and the climate face contestation and contempt, environmental advocates are at an impasse. Many have turned to social media in order to shift the tide --but what if their strategy is not only futile, but dangerous?
The Truth about Nature follows environmental actors as they turn to digital media and social networking platforms to save nature. It documents how conservation efforts can be trapped and transformed in the political economy of platforms and the curation of their algorithmic feeds. Developing a novel account of 'post-truth' as an expression of power under platform capitalism, Bram B scher shows how environmental actors attempt to mediate between structural forms of platform power and the contingent histories and contexts of particular environmental issues. Bringing efforts at wildlife protection in Southern Africa into dialogue with a sweeping analysis of truth and power in the twenty-first century, B scher makes the case for a new environmental politics: one that rekindles the slowly reemerging art of speaking truth to power.

Описание: Building on discussions originating in post-humanism, the non-philosophy of Francois Laruelle, and the science of “species being of humanity” stemming from Marx’s critique of philosophy, Katerina Kolozova proposes a radical consideration of capitalism’s economic exploitation of life. This book uses Francois Laruelle’s work to think through questions of “practical ethics” and bring the abstract tools of Laruelle’s non-philosophy into conversation with other critical methods in the humanities. Kolozova centres the question of the animal at the very heart of what it means for us as human beings to think and act in the world, and the mistreatment of animality that underpins the logic of capitalism.

Автор: Rubens Sawaya Название: Subordinated Development: Transnational Capital in the Process of Accumulation of Latin America and Brazil ISBN: 9004366458 ISBN-13(EAN): 9789004366459 Издательство: Brill Цена: 162050.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Focusing on the processes of accumulation, concentration and centralisation of capital, this book explains the transnationalisation of capital and its impact on Latin America and Brazil. The first chapter addresses the logic of these processes from a Marxian perspective. The second chapter shows how this movement of capital expands into some Latin American countries, and how it subsequently retracts in the 1990s process of global centralisation. The third chapter evaluates Latin American strategies to attract capital by taking a subordinate position to capital’s global movement. The last two chapters focus on Brazil's development strategy in the face of the alternating expansion and contraction of capital, and point out the vulnerability of Latin American countries when their development is subordinate to transnational capital. First published in Portuguese as Subordinac?a?o consentida: capital multinacional no processo de acumulac?a?o da Ame?rica Latina e Brasil by Annablume Editora/Fapesp in 2006.

From food punnets to credit cards, plastic facilitates every part of our daily lives. It has become central to processes of contemporary socio-material living. Universalised and abstracted, it is often treated as the passive object of political deliberations, or a problematic material demanding human management. But in what ways might a 'politics of plastics' deal with both its specific manifestation in particular artefacts and events, and its complex dispersed heterogeneity?
Accumulation explores the vitality and complexity of plastic. This interdisciplinary collection focuses on how the presence and recalcitrance of plastic reveals the relational exchanges across human and synthetic materialities. It captures multiplicity by engaging with the processual materialities or plasticity of plastic. Through a series of themed essays on plastic materialities, plastic economies, plastic bodies and new articulations of plastic, the editors and chapter authors examine specific aspects of plastic in action. How are multiple plastic realities enacted? What are their effects?
This book will be of interest to students and scholars of sociology, human and cultural geography, environmental studies, consumption studies, science and technology studies, design, and political theory.
Автор: Dennis C. Canterbury Название: Capital Accumulation and Migration ISBN: 9004230386 ISBN-13(EAN): 9789004230385 Издательство: Brill Цена: 164700.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Dennis C. Canterbury’s Capital Accumulation and Migration explores the subject of capital accumulation and migration, a topic that is remarkably absent in the voluminous literature spawned under neoliberal capitalism by the renewed interest in the development impact of migration. This volume undertakes a critique of this literature and adds a critical dimension to it, while analyzing the financialization of migration processes. A central feature of neoliberal capitalism is the remodeling of the global political economy to facilitate capital accumulation from migration amidst serious fault lines that reflect an antagonistic contradiction in the neoliberal capitalist approach to migration.
