Gregson @book{fds294195, Author = {Davis, G}, Title = {POLYHYMNIA: THE RHETORIC OF HORATION LYRIC DISCOURSE}, Pages = {1-282}, Publisher = {University of California Press}, Year = {2023}, Month = {January}, ISBN = {0520070771}, Abstract = {Horace's Odes have a surface translucency that belies their rhetorical sophistication. Gregson Davis brings together recent trends in the study of Augustan poetry and critical theory and deftly applies them to individual poems. Exploring four rhetorical strategies—what he calls modes of assimilation, authentication, consolation, and praise and dispraise—Davis produces enlightening, new interpretations of this classic work. Polyhymnia, named after one of the Muses invoked in Horace's opening poem, revises the common image of Horace as a complacent, uncomplicated, and basically superficial singer. Focusing on the artistic persona—the lyric "self" that is constituted in the text—Davis explores how the lyric speaker constructs subtle "arguments" whose building-blocks are topoi, recurrent motifs, and generic conventions. By examining the substructure of lyric argument in groupings of poems sharing similar strategies, the author discloses the major principles that inform Horatian lyric composition.}, Key = {fds294195} } %% Hardt, Michael @article{fds373497, Author = {Hardt, M}, Title = {Standpoint theory and double abolition}, Journal = {Cultural Dynamics}, Volume = {35}, Number = {4}, Pages = {252-257}, Year = {2023}, Month = {November}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/09213740231206103}, Abstract = {I read Denise Ferreira da Silva’s Unpayable Debt as an experiment that adopts “the wounded captive body in the scene of subjugation” as an epistemological standpoint. This situates her project in line with a tradition of standpoint theories that adopt, for instance, the proletarian or the feminist standpoint in similar ways. These standpoints grant us not only a superior knowledge of the current social order, highlighting its hierarchies, but also provide a political ground for seeking to abolish the structures of domination. Ferreira da Silva’s argument diverges, however, in that her standpoint does not present a subject to be affirmed, as do the other theories, but rather one that must also be abolished. In this sense, I interpret the aim of da Silva’s book to be a double abolition.}, Doi = {10.1177/09213740231206103}, Key = {fds373497} } @book{fds372961, Author = {Hardt, M}, Title = {The subversive seventies}, Pages = {1-312}, Year = {2023}, Month = {July}, ISBN = {9780197674659}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780197674659.001.0001}, Abstract = {The 1970s was a decade of "subversives". Faced with various progressive and revolutionary social movements, the forces of order-politicians, law enforcement, journalists, and conservative intellectuals-saw subversives everywhere. From indigenous peasant armies and gay liberation organizations, to anti-nuclear activists and Black liberation militants, subversives challenged authority, laid siege to the established order, and undermined time-honored ways of life. Every corner of the left was fertile ground for subversive elements, which the forces of order had to root out and destroy-a project they pursued with zeal and brutality.}, Doi = {10.1093/oso/9780197674659.001.0001}, Key = {fds372961} } @article{fds372369, Author = {Hardt, M}, Title = {The Politics of Articulation and Strategic Multiplicities}, Journal = {Journal of Speculative Philosophy}, Volume = {37}, Number = {3}, Pages = {243-270}, Publisher = {The Pennsylvania State University Press}, Year = {2023}, Month = {January}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.5325/jspecphil.37.3.0243}, Abstract = {A prerequisite for today’s most powerful social movements is not only to analyze the interwoven and mutually constitutive nature of different structures of power but also to discover the means to articulate in a coherent organizational project diverse struggles for liberation, including, among others, those focused on class, race, sexuality, and gender. This article focuses on the ways that activists and theorists in the 1970s framed and addressed the political problematic of multiplicity and articulation. In some respects, one can trace back to that period the beginnings of contemporary practices and paradigms, but, in other ways, the theorizing and organizing of the 1970s were actually ahead of us, and our task is to catch up to those earlier projects for liberation.}, Doi = {10.5325/jspecphil.37.3.0243}, Key = {fds372369} } %% Harootunian, Harry @misc{fds167880, Title = {Japan in the World}, Journal = {Boundaries 2}, Editor = {Harry Harootunian and Masao Miyoshi}, Year = {1992}, Key = {fds167880} } %% Hayles, N.

OpenAI’s language-generation program GPT-3 illustrates the challenges of interpreting algorithmic-generated texts. This article advocates interpretive strategies that recognize the profound differences (in the case of GPT-3) of language that issues from a program that has a model only of language, not of the world. Conscious robots, when and if they emerge, will have profoundly different embodiments than humans. Fictions that imagine conscious robots thus face a similar challenge presented by the GPT-3 texts: will they gloss over the differences, or will they enact strategies that articulate the differences and explore their implications for humans immersed in algorithmic cultures? The author analyzes three contemporary novels that engage with this challenge: Annalee Newitz’s Autonomous (2017), Kuzuo Ishiguro’s Klara and the Sun (2021), and Ian McEwan’s Machines like Me (2019). Each interrogates how the human aura is subverted by conscious robots.

It demonstrates the centrality of differentiation in these visual representations, as underscored by the “bar” or so-called vinculum (a mathematical term). It ultimately concludes that the weakness or dialectical contradiction of the thus differentiated entities lies in their tendency to fold back into each other, returning to the One which it was the purpose of the schematization to exclude in the first place.}, Doi = {10.1086/726275}, Key = {fds372814} } @article{fds376058, Author = {Jameson, F}, Title = {STANISŁAW LEM AND THE QUESTION OF ALIENS}, Journal = {Polish Review}, Volume = {68}, Number = {2}, Pages = {14-17}, Year = {2023}, Month = {June}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.5406/23300841.68.2.02}, Abstract = {One of Stanisław Lem’s fundamental themes is that even if there were alien life in outer space, we would never be able to understand it or communicate with it, a theme instantiated in Solaris.

S. Eliot’s “Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock.” Russell’s concern with immediate experience (“acquaintance”) underscores a dilemma troubling literary modernism generally and modernist abstraction in particular. In “Prufrock,” acquaintance with reality marks an epistemic failure whose social form is the “etherization” gripping the city and everything in it. The conversation between Russell’s philosophy and Eliot’s poetry is grounded in but exceeds the men’s real-life acquaintance. Rather than influence, at stake is a circulation of ideas between philosophy and modernist poetry and the questions of knowledge raised by both.}, Doi = {10.1353/phl.2023.a899684}, Key = {fds372101} } %% Lentricchia, Frank @book{fds296079, Author = {Lentricchia, F}, Title = {The gaiety of language: An essay on the radical poetics of W.

Tracing self-translations, the essay reads how Salas Rivera steals back from English and binary gender in the poetic and translation decisions to withhold, or hold onto, loss as itself incommensurable or untranslatable. His poetics situates Latinx at the hinge and limit of two colonial languages, requiring us to contend with ongoing problems of reference and translation. Through material tropes, Salas Rivera’s poetry registers entanglements and displacements of colonial grammars, transgender terms, and the material remains of empire.</jats:p>}, Doi = {10.1525/rep.2023.162.8.109}, Key = {fds372273} } %% Mignolo, Walter D. @article{fds374452, Author = {Mignolo, W}, Title = {The explosion of globalism and the advent of the third nomos of the earth}, Pages = {193-207}, Booktitle = {Globalization: Past, Present, Future}, Year = {2023}, Month = {December}, ISBN = {9780520395756}, Abstract = {We on the planet are experiencing a change of era, no longer an era of changes. In the era of changes (1500-2000) or the era of the Westernization of the world, changes were linear and within the frame of the colonial matrix of power. The concepts of newness, evolution, development, transition, and postmodernity are concepts singling out the changes in a linear, universal time. The change of era cannot be understood as a transition in the linear time of Western modernity but as an explosion and the reconstitutions of planetary cultural times. That explosion marks the advent of the third nomos of the Earth and the dispute for control of the colonial matrix of power by states not grounded in Western political theory and beyond the scope of international relations after the Treaty of Westphalia (1648). Russia's 2022 special operation in Ukraine, responding to NATO's provocations, with the collaboration of Ukrainian government, to "contain" Russia, is a signpost of the change of era and the advent of the multipolar world order that is tantamount with the advent of the third nomos of the Earth. The second nomos, the Carl Schmitt narrative, was tantamount with the Westernization of the world and the colonial matrix of power.}, Key = {fds374452} } @article{fds374453, Author = {Mignolo, WD and Bussmann, FS}, Title = {Coloniality and the State: Race, Nation and Dependency}, Journal = {Theory, Culture and Society}, Volume = {40}, Number = {6}, Pages = {3-18}, Year = {2023}, Month = {November}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/02632764221151126}, Abstract = {It is of concern that, until now, Western and Southern theories have not been able to provide a full conceptual understanding of the complicity of the elites and states of former colonies outside the West with the political domination they suffer from their Western counterparts. Decolonial thought, by exploring global epistemic designs, can fully explain such political dependency, which, for Aníbal Quijano, results from the local elites’ goal to racially identify with their Western peers (self-humanization), obstructing local nationalization. We explore why the racially dehumanized local elites believe they can humanize themselves. Our claim is that this happens because of modernity’s pretense that everyone can become civilized and, thereby, human, hiding the fact that hu(man)s are only heterosexual men that are simultaneously Western, white and Christian. Only by focusing on the enunciation of Western knowledge, instead of on its enunciated content, can we make that argument.}, Doi = {10.1177/02632764221151126}, Key = {fds374453} } @article{fds374454, Author = {Mignolo, W}, Title = {The Colonial Matrix of Power}, Pages = {39-46}, Booktitle = {Talking About Global Inequality: Personal Experiences and Historical Perspectives}, Year = {2023}, Month = {January}, ISBN = {9783031080418}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-08042-5_5}, Abstract = {Walter Mignolo is an Argentine semiotician, philosopher, and literary scholar who has devoted his career to study the historical foundations of the modern/colonial world system and imaginary since 1500.

Anibal Quijano traced the history of the colonial matrix of power from the sixteenth century until today. Reading Schmitt from Quijano, this chapter recasts both stories in terms of – on the one hand – Westernization of the world (1500–2000), the emergence of inter-state de-Westernization and the drive toward multipolarity, and the counterreformation of re-Westernization to maintain unipolarity of the global order. And, on the other hand, it also traces the emergence of pluriversality and the closing of universality in the sphere of ideas and praxis of living managed by the people, neither by the State nor by consumer persuaders and digital managers of desires. Both de-Westernization and pluriversality are signs of the emergence of the third nomos of the earth under the hegemony of capitalist economy.}, Doi = {10.4324/9781003036661-3}, Key = {fds374455} } @article{fds374456, Author = {Mignolo, WD}, Title = {The Refiguration of the Social and the Re-Configuration of the Communa}, Pages = {159-185}, Booktitle = {Considering Space: A Critical Concept for the Social Sciences}, Year = {2023}, Month = {January}, ISBN = {9781032420882}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.4324/9781003361152-11}, Abstract = {I argue that “space and the re-configuration of society” is a statement highlighting two Western concepts “space” and “society.” I argue that none of the coexisting civilizations, before 1500, have and care about these two concepts introduced in the vernacular modern European languages. I use the example of ancient Nahuatl speakers in the Valley of Mexico, since I cannot go through planetary civilization, to sustain my argument. Nahualts stressed places, directions and landscapes (e.g., the condition of the land in a given place), rather than space. I am not comparing two cosmologies but looking into their entanglement since 1500 and the power differential that set up the privileges-through today-of Western civilization over the others. It is a gnoseological argument that situates Western epistemology in its limited and well-deserved place. It is also a political and ethical argument relevant to what we in the planet are witnessing both at the inter-state conflict and in resurgence of the pollical society displacing the “social and the individual” separated from life on Earth, to restore “communal relations” among animal humans and all living organism on earth to reconnect with the Earthy and Cosmic energies separated from “society” (e.g., climate crisis).}, Doi = {10.4324/9781003361152-11}, Key = {fds374456} } %% Moi, Toril @article{fds371699, Author = {Moi, T}, Title = {Acknowledging Hanna Pitkin: A Belated Discovery of a Kindred Spirit}, Journal = {Polity}, Volume = {55}, Number = {3}, Pages = {479-487}, Year = {2023}, Month = {July}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1086/725254}, Doi = {10.1086/725254}, Key = {fds371699} } %% Mottahedeh, Negar @article{fds375361, Author = {Mottahedeh, N}, Title = {Not Feminism, Human Solidarity: Qurrat al-'~Ayn Tahirih in Early Historical Drama}, Journal = {Hawwa}, Volume = {21}, Number = {4}, Pages = {410-432}, Year = {2023}, Month = {January}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1163/15692086-12341407}, Abstract = {Qurrat al-'Ayn Tahirih has long been associated with feminism and early agitation for women’s rights in Iran and elsewhere.

Turning to the history of psychiatric classification for mental illnesses, Cate I. Reilly argues that modernist texts can be understood as critically responding to objective scientific models of the psyche, not simply illustrating their findings. Modernist works written in industrializing Central and Eastern Europe historicize the representation of consciousness as a quantifiable phenomenon within techno-scientific modernity. Looking beyond modernism’s well-studied relationship to psychoanalysis, this book tells the story of the non-Freudian vocabulary for mental illnesses that forms the precursor to today’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. Developed by the German psychiatrist Emil Kraepelin in the 1890s, this psychiatric taxonomy grew from the claim that invisible mental illnesses were analogous to physical phenomena in the natural world. Reilly explores how figures such as Georg Büchner, Ernst Toller, Daniel Paul Schreber, Nikolai Evreinov, Vsevolod Ivanov, and Santiago Ramón y Cajal understood the legal and political consequences of representing mental life in physical terms. Working across literary studies, the history of science, psychoanalytic criticism, critical theory, and political philosophy, Psychic Empire is an original account of modernism that shows the link between nineteenth-century scientific research on the mental health of national populations and twenty-first-century globalized, neuroscientific accounts of psychopathology and sanity.}, Key = {fds375288} } %% Wiegman, Robyn @article{fds372697, Author = {Wiegman, R}, Title = {Feminism and the Impasse of Whiteness; or, Who’s Afraid of Rachel Doležal?}, Journal = {South Atlantic Quarterly}, Volume = {122}, Number = {3}, Pages = {453-483}, Year = {2023}, Month = {July}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1215/00382876-10643973}, Doi = {10.1215/00382876-10643973}, Key = {fds372697} } @article{fds368884, Author = {Wiegman, R and Nash, JC}, Title = {Object Lessons at 10: a conversation}, Journal = {Feminist Theory}, Volume = {24}, Number = {2}, Pages = {262-276}, Year = {2023}, Month = {April}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/14647001221143026}, Abstract = {This conversation returns to Robyn Wiegman's field-defining Object Lessons, reflecting on the book's travels, resonances, and continued importance a decade after its publication.}, Doi = {10.1177/14647001221143026}, Key = {fds368884} } @article{fds371621, Author = {Wiegman, R and Berlant, L}, Title = {On Reading Berlant Reading the World}, Journal = {American Literary History}, Volume = {35}, Number = {2}, Pages = {873-883}, Year = {2023}, Month = {January}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/alh/ajad008}, Doi = {10.1093/alh/ajad008}, Key = {fds371621} } @article{fds372256, Author = {Chaudhary, ZR and Wiegman, R}, Title = {Un/reading}, Journal = {Differences}, Volume = {34}, Number = {1}, Pages = {276-282}, Year = {2023}, Month = {January}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1215/10407391-10435913}, Doi = {10.1215/10407391-10435913}, Key = {fds372256} } | |
