"Negative Geographies is the first edited collection to chart the political, conceptual, and ethical consequences of how the underexplored problem of the negative might be posed for contemporary cultural geography. Using a variety of case studies and empirical investigations, these chapters consider how the negative, through annihilations, gaps, ruptures, and tears, can work within or against the terms of affirmationism. The collection opens up new avenues through which key problems of cultural geography might be differently posed and points to the ways that it might be possible and desirable to think, theorize, and exemplify negation.

By drawing on the insights of diverse scholars from around the globe, this volume systematically investigates the meaning and reality of the concept of negation in Post-Kantian Philosophy-German Idealism, Early German Romanticism, and Neo-Kantianism. The reader benefits from the historical, critical, and systematic investigations contained which trace not only the significance of negation in these traditions, but also the role it has played in shaping the philosophical landscape of Post-Kantian philosophy. By drawing attention to historically neglected thinkers and traditions, and positioning the dialogue within a global and comparative context, this volume demonstrates the enduring relevance of Post-Kantian philosophy for philosophers thinking in today's global context. This text should appeal to graduate students and professors of German Idealism, Post-Kantian philosophy, comparative philosophy, German studies, and intellectual history.

Auf Basis deutschsprachiger Korpusdaten stellt diese Studie Strukturen, Regelmäßigkeiten sowie formale und funktionale Bedingungen der rhetorischen Figur Litotes heraus. Anhand der Form der doppelten Negation (nicht unumstritten, nicht unlösbar) erlaubt es die Analyse pragmatische Mechanismen der 'Negation des Gegenteils' aufzuzeigen und das Verhältnis von Semantik und Pragmatik neu zu beleuchten. Based on German corpus data, this study presents the structure and the formal and functional conditions of the rhetorical figure of litotes. By examining the form of double negation ("not without controversy", "not insoluble") the analysis exposes the pragmatic mechanisms of "negating the opposite" and reformulates the relationship between the semantics and pragmatics of litotes.

Vitanza introduces his book with the questions: What Do I Want, Wanting to Write This ('our') Book? What Do I Want, Wanting You to Read This ('our') Book? Thereafter, in a series of chapters and excursions and as schizographer of rhetorics (erotics), he interrogates three recent, influential historians of Sophists (Edward Schiappa, John Poulakos, and Susan Jarratt), and how these historians as well as others represent Sophists and, in particular, Isocrates and Gorgias under the sign of the negative. Vitanza concludes--rather rebegins in a sophistic-performative excursus--with a prelude to future (anterior) histories of rhetorics. Vitanza asks: What will have been anti-Oedipalizedized (de-negated) hysteries of rhetorics? What will have they looked like, sounded, read like? Or to ask affirmatively, what, then, will have libidinalized-hysteries of rhetorics looked, sounded, read like?
