Vernant & Vidal-Naquet - Myth and Tragedy in Ancient Greece [made in istanbul]

MADE IN TURKEY
Fark Yaralari Presents:

Jean-Pierre Vernant and Pierre Vidal-Naquet are leaders in a contemporary French classical scholarship that has produced a stunning reconfiguration of Greek thought and literature. In this work, the authors present a disturbing and decidedly nonclassical reading of Greek tragedy that insists on its radical discontinuity with our own outlook and with our social, aesthetic, and psychological categories. Originally published in French in two volumes, this new single-volume edition includes revised essays from Volume I as well as the first English translation of Volume II.

“What is Dionysiac about Greek tragedy, Vernant suggests, and specific to the genre, is the ‘otherness’ of the hero, his belonging to an absent world that no longer exists, and the blurring and shifting of the boundaries between illusion and reality that result for the audience from the enacted fictions of the tragic theatre.... Myth and Tragedy is a book to be unreservedly welcome for its progressive unfolding of ideas which have proved consistently fertile in new perceptions and for thinking that is in the best sense individual as well as collective.”

Deleuze - Empiricism and Subjectivity: An Essay on Hume's Theory of Human Nature

Empiricism and Subjectivity
An Essay on Hume's Theory of Human Nature

Gilles Deleuze
Translated by Constantin V. Boundas

"Anticipates much of Deleuze�s own thought. . . . For those concerned to see the emergence of a distinctive contemporary thought . . . this book is essential."
—David Allison, State University of New York, Stony Brook

At last available in paperback, this book anticipates and explains the post-structuralist turn to empiricism. Presenting a challenging reading of David Hume's philosophy, the work is invaluable for understanding the progress of Deleuze's thought.

Reconnecting Culture, Technology and Nature : From Society to Heterogeneity

Mike Michael


Drawing on the insights of Bruno Latour, Donna Haraway and Michel Serres, the author elaborates a methodology through which new hybrid objects of study are creatively constructed, tracing the ways the cultural, the natural and the technological interweave in the production of order and disorder.
Every day life is increasingly mediated by technology, but most of the literature on the subject talks only in terms of radical advances. In "From Society to Heterogeneity" Mike Michael uses case studies of mundane technologies such as the walking boot, the car and the TV remote control to question some of the fundamental dichotomies through which we make sense of the world. Drawing on the insights of Bruno Latour, Donna Harroway and Michel Serres, the author elaborates a methodology through which new hybrid objects of study are creatively constructed, tracing the ways in which the cultural, the natural and the technological interweave in the production of order and disorder. This book critically engages with and draws connections between a wide range of literature including those concerned with the environment, consumption and the body.
