Abstract

Oorlogsvoering is reeds vanuit vele hoeken benaderd. Een benaderingswijze is bv. die vanuit de vraagstelling "waarom oorlog?" om dan te komen tot een uitvoerige argumentatie voor oorlog als een gerechtvaardigde politieke praktijk. Het voorliggend boek vertrekt van een heel ander standpunt. De vraag is dan hoe historisch gegroeide en sociaal ingebedde interpretaties van identiteit en ruimte leiden tot welbepaalde begrippen in internationale relaties, buitenlands beleid en politiek discours. Gemeenschappen die eenheid en samenhang betrachten of willen handhaven gaan hand in hand met globale geo- en etnografieën waarin vijandschappen vervat liggen. Tussenstaats geweld veronderstelt de institutionalisering van de geografische zienswijze van de dominante natie-staat. Verschillende voorbeelden maken duidelijk dat niet enkel de reële geografie een rol speelt, maar zeer zeker ook de ideeën die in een staat en bij de bewindsvoerders daarover leven.

Abstract

In recent years, film has been one of the major genres within which the imaginaries involved in mapping the geopolitical world have been represented and reflected upon. In this book, one of America's foremost theorists of culture and politics treats those aspects of the ""geopolitical aesthetic"" that must be addressed in light of both the post cold war and post 9/11 world and contemporary film theory and philosophy. Beginning with an account of his experience as a juror at film festival's, Michael J. Shapiro's Cinematic Geopolitics analyzes the ways in which film festival spa

Abstract

Under the banner of family values, a war of more than words is being waged. At stake is the control of contemporary national culture - and the consciousness of succeeding generations. Michael J. Shapiro enters the fray with this galvanizing book, which exposes the assumptions, misconceptions, and historical inaccuracies that mark the neoconservative campaign to redeem an imagined past and colonize the present and future with a moral and political commitment to the "traditional family."

Abstract

Shapiro seeks to bring recognition to forms of political expression that have existed on the margins of the nationhood practices of states and the complicit nation-sustaining conceits of social science.

Abstract

Presuming that the problem of political equality, as it bears on both persons and assemblages, is about being accorded access to the material and symbolic resources needed to manage an effective civic presence, Michael J. Shapiro's critical interventions engage the way a wide variety of aesthetic genres address this problem. In Aesthetics of Equality, Shapiro offers a guide to aesthetic methods, focusing on how to conceive equality issues through conceptual engagements with diverse artistic genres. Emphasizing relationships between compositional form and ideational commitment, while focusing on the texts' protagonists (aesthetic subjects), the analyses include a wide variety of spaces and historical moments in scenes ranging from ancient Israel and Egypt in the Old Testament's Genesis to the ethno-histories of California and Texas, with attention on the right to urban space in such megacities as Paris, New York, Los Angeles, and Istanbul.

Abstract

"In The Phenomenology of Religious Belief, the renowned philosopher Michael J. Shapiro investigates how art - and in particular literature and film - can impact upon both traditional interpretations and critical studies of religious beliefs and experiences. In doing so, he examines the work of prolific and award-winning writers such as Toni Morrison, Philip K. Dick and Robert Coover. By placing their work in conjunction with critical analyses of media by the likes of Ingmar Bergman and Pier Paolo Pasolini and combining it with the work of groundbreaking thinkers such as George Canguilhem, Giorgio Agamben and Slavoj Žižek, Shapiro takes a truly interdisciplinary approach to the question of how life should be lived. His assessment of phenomenological subjectivity also leads him to question the nature of political theology and extend the criticism of Pauline theology"--
