 Free Download Alex Dubilet, "The Self-Emptying Subject: Kenosis and Immanence, Medieval to Modern" English | ISBN: 0823279472 | 2018 | 256 pages | PDF | 12 MB Against the two dominant ethical paradigms of continental philosophy-Emmanuel Levinas's ethics of the other and Michel Foucault's ethics of self-cultivation―The Self-Emptying Subject theorizes an ethics of self-emptying, or kenosis, one that reveals the immanence of an impersonal and dispossessed life without a why. Rather than align immanence with the enclosures of the subject, Dubilet engages the history of Christian mystical theology, modern philosophy, and contemporary theories of the subject to rethink immanence as what precedes and exceeds the very difference between the (human) self and the (divine) other, between the subject and transcendence. By arguing that transcendence operates on life in secular as well as religious domains, the book challenges a dominant distribution of concepts within contemporary theoretical discourse, which associates transcendence exclusively with religion and theology and immanence exclusively with modern secularity and philosophy.  Free Download F. Dominic Longo, "Spiritual Grammar: Genre and the Saintly Subject in Islam and Christianity " English | ISBN: 0823275728 | 2017 | 256 pages | EPUB | 969 KB Spiritual Grammar identifies a genre of religious literature that until now has not been recognized as such. In this surprising and theoretically nuanced study, F. Dominic Longo reveals how grammatical structures of language addressed in two medieval texts published nearly four centuries apart, from distinct religious traditions, offer a metaphor for how the self is embedded in spiritual reality. Reading The Grammar of Hearts (Nahw al-qulūb) by the great Sufi shaykh and Islamic scholar 'Abd al-Karīm al-Qushayrī (d. 1074) and Moralized Grammar (Donatus moralizatus) by Christian theologian Jean Gerson (d. 1429), Longo reveals how both authors use the rules of language and syntax to advance their pastoral goals. Indeed, grammar provides the two masters with a fresh way of explaining spiritual reality to their pupils and to discipline the souls of their readers in the hopes that their writings would make others adept in the grammar of the heart.

Not only will we discuss what they are but cover good and "bad" examples of them. We will also discuss the relationship between the subject and photographer and how vital that space is to create great photographs. Portrait photography, also known as portraiture, is a type of photography that is meant to capture the essence and personality of a person – with the help of effective lighting, backdrops and poses. Portrait photography is where the subject not only is the main character of the story you're trying to tell, but the aim is to highlight and showcase who they are.

In addition, concepts are developed in order to be able to analyze subjectivity in the context of current theoretical debates (including media sociology, cultural studies, psychoanalysis, practice theory, science and technology studies) as well as social, cultural and technical developments (including digitalization, mediatization, mobility and networking). Since subject conceptions are of central importance for any communication and media analyses, the volume fills a central gap in communication and media studies.  Free Download Ruth A. Miller, "Law in Crisis: The Ecstatic Subject of Natural Disaster (The Cultural Lives of Law)" English | 2009 | pages: 248 | ISBN: 0804762562 | EPUB | 0,8 mb Taking natural disaster as the political and legal norm is uncommon. Taking a person who has become unstable and irrational during a disaster as the starting point for legal analysis is equally uncommon. Nonetheless, in Law in Crisis Ruth Miller makes the unsettling case that the law demands an ecstatic subject and that natural disaster is the endpoint to law. Developing an idiosyncratic but compelling new theory of legal and political existence, Miller challenges existing arguments that, whether valedictory or critical, have posited the rational, bounded self as the normative subject of law.  Free Download Thomas Hughes, "The Victorian Idyll in Art and Literature: Subject, Ecology, Form " English | ISBN: 1032356782 | 2023 | 190 pages | EPUB, PDF | 60 MB + 65 MB Resonating with contemporary ecological and queer theory, this book pioneers the theorization of the Victorian idyll, establishing its nature, lineaments, and significance as a formal mode widely practised in nineteenth-century British culture across media and genre.  Free Download Fernando M. F. Silva, "The Kantian Subject" English | ISBN: 1032521937 | 2023 | 236 pages | EPUB, PDF | 2 MB + 17 MB This book presents a critical reconsideration of the Kantian cognitive and practical subject. Special attention is devoted to highlighting the complex relation between subjectivity as it is presented in the three critiques and the way in which it is construed in other writings, in particular the Anthropology. While for Kant our cognitive apparatus and the structure of our will are common to all humans, the anthropological subject reveals degrees of variation, depending on a myriad of external circumstances that pose a challenge to the unity of Kant's account and await theoretical solutions.  Free Download Kathleen S.G. Skott-Myhre, "Desettlering as Re-subjectification of the Settler Subject " English | ISBN: 1032395672 | 2023 | 154 pages | EPUB, PDF | 709 KB + 7 MB This book offers an intervention into the process of decolonization through the re-subjectification of the settler subject. The authors draw on what Deleuze and Guattari call minor threads of philosophy, pedagogy, spirituality, and healing practices rooted in neglected lineages of European thought and ceremony. The book proposes a methodology for unontologizing the settler subject, which they term "desettlering." Rather than fetishizing indigenous theory and practice as a mode for resubjectifying settlers to facilitate land-based decolonization, it offers a fresh approach by looking toward alternative sets of traditions and identities. These alternatives are used to interrogate minoritarian European philosophies, practices, and beliefs, which the authors propose could be deployed to unontologize the settler within current historical conditions. Asserting that such a process is not volitional but a historical necessity, the book offers a novel and timely investigation into who settlers become if they intend to engage seriously in decolonization. It will appeal to an interdisciplinary audience of scholars and researchers in psychological science, social psychology, counseling, philosophy, indigenous studies, and sociology.  Free Download Stephen-Paul Martin, "Changing the Subject" English | 2010 | pages: 204 | ISBN: 0963753657 | EPUB | 0,1 mb Fiction. Stephen-Paul Martin has been called "one of our great deadpan humorists," by Eric Basso and "North America's foremost master of the short story" by Vernon Frazer. Marjorie Perloff has described his writing as "wildly comic," and Fanny Howe has called his stories "magnificent and entertaining." In CHANGING THE SUBJECT Martin once again deforms traditional notions of the story, giving us beautifully digressive revenge-fantasies, hysterical moral tales, and his singular, uncanny brand of the shaggy dog yarn. Kirpal Gordon writes, "What's so transformative in CHANGING THE SUBJECT is [the] range of knowledge-quantum mechanics, semiotics, literary theory, psychology & meditation practice-delivered in a voice unpretentious yet outrageous, scary yet funny, reader-friendly yet beyond category." |
