Summary:
This publication contests the tendency, still dominant in most social science, to reduce human geography to a reflective mirror, or, as Marx called it, an "unnecessary complication." Beginning with a critique of historicism and its constraining effects on the geographical imagination, Edward Soja builds on the work of Foucault, Berger, Giddens, Berman, Jameson and, above(...)

Summary:
This publication contests the tendency, still dominant in most social science, to reduce human geography to a reflective mirror, or, as Marx called it, an "unnecessary complication." Beginning with a critique of historicism and its constraining effects on the geographical imagination, Edward Soja builds on the work of Foucault, Berger, Giddens, Berman, Jameson and, above all, Henri Lefebvre, to argue for a historical and geographical materialism, a radical rethinking of the dialectics of space, time and social being. The author charts the respatialization of social theory from the still unfolding encounter between Western Marxism and modern geography, through the current debates on the emergence of a postfordist regime of "flexible accumulation." The postmodern geography of Los Angeles, exposed in a provocative pair of essays, serves as a model in his account of the contemporary struggle for control over the social production of space.

Summary:
''Fortress Power'' presents a genealogy of fortification as a material and political technology intent on obstruction, tracing its implementation across battlefields, borders, and urban environments. Drawing on the influential work of philosophers Michel Foucault and Giorgio Agamben, Derek S. Denman places the fortress alongside the archetypes of the prison and the camp, citing them as paradigmatic of how space is transformed into a tool of domination and control. Focusing on the defensive architecture of bastion fortresses, urban design, and border landscapes, ''Fortress Power'' charts the rise of a form of governance grounded in hostility, extending the scope of its subject from a piece of military construction to a much broader political concept. Detailing how power manifests in everything from city centers to international boundaries, the book analyzes the logic of fortification as it moves through various contexts in the advancement of surveillance, exploitation, warfare, and political authority.

Summary:
L’orthodoxie économiste s’obstine à imposer le modèle d’un individu décideur rationnel, qui maximise ses revenus à force de calculs régis par le souci de son intérêt bien entendu. Opérant un changement d’échelle radical, « L’économie contre elle-même » soutient plutôt que le néolibéralisme se fonde aux niveaux infra- et trans-individuel, sur une interaction complexe entre rationnel et affectif. Brian Massumi insiste en effet sur la manière dont, en deçà du niveau individuel, les tendances et contre-tendances affectives d’un individu résonnent avec celles des autres pour amorcer et orienter l’action. Cette plongée vers l’infra-économie des affects entraîne une recomposition conceptuelle de toutes les dynamiques sociales : là se dessinent les mouvements des corps sensibles et se constitue la volonté, mais surtout, là se crée l’action de transformation sociale. Empruntant à Hume, Foucault, Deleuze, Spinoza et Luhmann, L’économie contre elle-même a l’ambition de déployer une nouvelle théorie de l’économie politique.

De quand date la naissance de l’observateur moderne? L’histoire culturelle et la théorie de l’art ont souvent identifié deux points d’origine : la révolution picturale des années 1860 et l’invention de la photographie quelques décennies plus tôt. Pour Jonathan Crary, c’est au tournant du XIXe siècle que s’opère, non pas une mutation de l’imagerie, mais une transformation de la subjectivité, lorsque la figure de l’observateur investit le champ esthétique, la médecine et la philosophie. Bien que vieille de deux siècles, cette discrète révolution dans la culture visuelle occidentale est encore la nôtre. Elle accompagne l’essor de la société disciplinaire tout en préparant l’avènement de la société du spectacle – ainsi que de leurs prolongements actuels. En relisant Michel Foucault, Guy Debord et les penseurs critiques de la modernité, Crary nous invite à un voyage intellectuel érudit et provoquant parmi les arts et les savoirs qui l’ont construite. 'Techniques de l’observateur' opère un retour aux sources historiques de notre attention visuelle et de ses enjeux subjectifs et politiques.

Summary:
A fresh interpretation of Jeremy Bentham, finding that his “radical foolery” embodied a social ethics that was revolutionary for its time. Jeremy Bentham (1748–1832) is best remembered today as the founder of utilitarianism (a philosophy infamously abused by the Victorians) and the conceiver of the Panopticon, the circular prison house in which all prisoners could be seen by an unseen observer—later seized upon by Michel Foucault as the apotheosis of the neoliberal control society. In this volume in the Untimely Meditation series, Christian Welzbacher offers a new interpretation of Bentham, arguing that his “radical foolery” (paraphrasing Goethe's characterization of Bentham) actually embodied a social ethics that was new for its time and demands proper historical contextualization rather than retroactive analysis from the vantage point of late capitalism. Welzbacher provides just such an analysis, offering an account of the two great utilitarian projects that occupied Bentham all his life: the Panopticon and the Auto-Icon.

But it is precisely this that makes the Panopticon project the best exemplification of Bentham's own theory of fictions, according to which non-existent fictitious entities can have all too real effects. There is probably no building that has stirred more philosophical controversy than Bentham's Panopticon. It is not merely, as Foucault thought, "a cruel, ingenious cage", in which subjects collaborate in their own subjection, but much more - constructing the Panopticon produces not only a prison, but also a god within it. It is a machine which on assembly is already inhabited by a ghost. It is through the Panopticon and the closely related theory of fictions that Bentham has made his greatest impact on modern thought; above all, on the theory of power.

Summary:
Rational self-interest is often seen as being at the heart of liberal economic theory. In The Power at the End of the Economy Brian Massumi provides an alternative explanation, arguing that neoliberalism is grounded in complex interactions between the rational and the emotional. Offering a new theory of political economy that refuses the liberal prioritization of individual choice, Massumi emphasizes the means through which an individual’s affective tendencies resonate with those of others on infra-individual and transindividual levels. This nonconscious dimension of social and political events plays out in ways that defy the traditional equation between affect and the irrational. Massumi uses the Arab Spring and the Occupy Movement as examples to show how transformative action that exceeds self-interest takes place. Drawing from David Hume, Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze, Niklas Luhmann and the field of nonconsciousness studies, Massumi urges a rethinking of the relationship between rational choice and affect, arguing for a reassessment of the role of sympathy in political and economic affairs.

It involved the most important voices of the period—from writers and filmmakers to anthropologists, activists and poets, terrorists and philosophers: Joseph Beuys, Michel Foucault, Christo, Christa Wolf, Walter Abish, Alexander Kluge, Paul Virilio, Ulrilke Meinhof, William Burroughs, Jean Baudrillard, Hans Magnus Enzenberger, Maurice Blanchot, Hans Jürgen Syberberg, Heidegger, André Gorz, Helke Sander. Opening with Christo's "Wrapping Up of Germany" and the celebrated dialogue between East German dramaturge Heiner Müller and Sylvère Lotringer on the Wall ("Mauer"), since published in many languages, The German Issue offers a first-hand account of the Western world on the threshold of a major global mutation. It also embodies at its best Semiotext(e)'s tenacious effort to establish a creative bridge between art and intellect, culture and politics, Europe and America.
