“A lyrical, moving collection. DeSalvo performs a complex inquiry that examines

the personal, familial, social, ethnic, and historical dimensions of identity. We
realize we are not reading to find out about DeSalvo’s life and times, but our own.”
— RI CHA RD HO FFMA N , Half the House: a Memoir
As the child of children of immigrants, Louise DeSalvo was at first reluctant to write
about her truths. Her abusive father, her sister’s suicide, her illness. In this stunning
collection of her captivating and frank essays on her life and her Italian American
culture, Louise DeSalvo centers on her beginnings, reframing and revising her
acclaimed memoiristic essays, pieces that were the seeds of longer collections, to
reveal her true power as a memoirist: the ability to dig ever deeper for personal and
political truths that illuminate what it means to be a woman, a second-generation
American, a writer, and a scholar.
Each essay is driven by a complex inquiry that examines the personal, familial,
social, ethnic, and historical dimensions of identity. Collectively, they constitute a
story significantly different from DeSalvo’s memoirs when they were first published,
where the starkness of their meaning became blunted by the material surrounding
them. DeSalvo has also restored material written and then deleted—experiences she
was too reticent to reveal before, in writing about her sister’s suicide, her husband’s
adultery, her own sexual assault. The essays also include new material to shift the
ballast of an essay as her life has changed significantly through the years.
The House of Early Sorrows is a courageous exploration of not only the DeSalvos’
family life and times, but also of our own.
The House of LOU ISE DESALVO started the MFA in Memoir Program at Hunter College, where
she held the Jenny Hunter Endowed Chair for Literature and Creative Writing until
Early Sorrows her retirement in 2017. She is the author of several books, including Virginia Woolf,
Vertigo, and The Art of Slow Writing.

“Carol Lamberg knows her stuff, and she shares it all in this book. It’s a testament
to her decades-long struggle to create affordable housing in New York City by any
means necessary—one that has great relevance today, even as federal support for
housing programs has dwindled to a trickle.”
— GA LE A . B REWER, Manhattan Borough President, from her Foreword
The high cost of building affordable housing in New York, and in cities like it, has
long been a topic of urgent debate. Yet despite its paramount importance and the
endless work of public and private groups to find ways to provide it, affordable
housing continues to be an elusive commodity in New York City—and increasingly so
in our current economic and political climate. In a timely, captivating memoir, Carol
Lamberg weighs in on this vital issue with the lessons she learned and the successes
she won while working with the Settlement Housing Fund, where she was executive
director from 1983 until 2014. Lamberg provides a unique perspective on the great
changes that have swept the housing arena since the curtailment of the welfare state
in the 1970s and spells out what is needed to address today’s housing problems.
In a tradition of “big city” social work memoirs stretching back to Jane Addams,
Lamberg reflects on the social purpose, vision, and practical challenges of the
projects she’s been involved in, while vividly capturing the life and times of those who
engaged in the creation and maintenance of housing and those who have benefited
from it. Using a wealth of interviews with managers and residents alike, alongside
the author’s firsthand experiences, this book depicts examples of successful
community development between 1975 and 1997 in the Bronx and on the Lower
Neighborhood East Side of Manhattan. In the “West Bronx Story,” Lamberg details the painful
but ultimately exhilarating development of eighteen buildings that make up New

In the midst of current debates about the accessibility of public spaces, resurfacing
as a result of highly visible demonstrations and occupations, this book illuminates
an overlooked domain of civic participation: the office, workshop, or building where
activist groups meet to organize and plan acts of political dissent and collective
participation. Nandini Bagchee examines three repurposed buildings on the Lower
East Side that have been used by activists to launch actions over the past forty years.
The Peace Pentagon was the headquarters of the antiwar movement, El Bohio was a
metaphoric “hut” that envisioned the Puerto Rican community as a steward of the
environment, and ABC No Rio, appropriated from a storefront sign with missing
letters, was a catchy punk name that appealed to the anarchistic sensibility of
the artists who ran a storefront gallery in a run-down tenement. In a captivating
discussion of buildings and urban settings as important components of progressive
struggles in New York City over more than a century, Bagchee reveals how these
collectively organized spaces have provided a venue for political participation while
existing as a vital part of the city’s civic infrastructure.
The “counter institution” explored in this book represents both a conceptual and
a literal struggle to create a space for civic action in a city that is built upon real estate
speculation. The author reveals the fascinating tension between the impermanence
of the insurgent activist practices and the permanent but maintenance-heavy
aspects of architecture. The actors she vividly describes—the war resisters, the
Puerto Rican organizers, the housing activists, the punks and artists—all seized
the opportunity to create what are seen as “activist estates,” at a time and in a place
Counter
where urban life itself was under attack. And now, when many such self-organized
“activist” buildings are imperiled by the finance-driven real estate market that is New
York City, this book takes stock and provides visibility to these under-recognized
Institution citizens’ initiatives.

Counter Institution is an innovative work that intersects architecture, urban
design practices, and geography (cartography) on the one hand, with history, politics,
Activist Estates of the Lower East Side and sociology on the other. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history
of activism in New York City and how the city can inspire and encourage political

“Blocked from publication in the 1960s and then hidden in a warehouse in London, Michael
Dillon’s autobiography moldered away for decades in the darkness. Now, for the first time ever,
it has burst into print. The book illuminates the life of one of the groundbreaking transgender
pioneers of the twentieth century. Just as important, it is a suspenseful and heartbreaking
tale that begins at the English seaside and ends with a mysterious death in the Himalayan
mountains. In his gripping autobiography, Dillon finds new answers to enduring questions
about gender. At the same time, he never manages to solve the puzzle of his own identity and
dies in the pursuit of transcendence. Dillon’s memoir deserves a place alongside the great
spiritual narratives, from Augustine to Merton. This edition is beautifully put together, with an

The Corporate University and the Fate of the Humanities

EDITION “How is it that the number of students attending American universities has surged in recent
decades, but the number of professors—especially humanities professors—has dwindled? The
perplexing institutional dynamics of the modern university come in for penetrating scrutiny

The rise of the American university has been defined by the tenured professor who is both scholar
and teacher. Yet in today’s market-driven, rankings-obsessed academia, corporate logic prevails:
Faculties are managed for optimal efficiency, productivity, and competitive advantage; casual armies
of adjuncts and graduate students now do the teaching.

On April 4, 1967, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered an antiwar speech, “Beyond
Vietnam: A Time to Break Silence,” in New York City at the Riverside Church. At
the time, the United States framed its intervention in Vietnam as a mechanism to
protect democracy worldwide. While this supposed defense of democracy raged on
thousands of miles away, social protests for racial equality, political representation,
and an economic livelihood for the country’s most disenfranchised communities
spread across the United States. Highlighting this contradiction in his antiwar
speech, King presented his doubts regarding the government’s ability to eliminate
the materialism, militarism, and racism that built the nation, a plight that continues
today. Written from the perspectives of education practitioners and scholars who
have personal histories with global war via (settler) colonialism, immigration, and
subsequent disenfranchisement in the United States, Education at War addresses
the vestiges of war that shape the lives of youth of color.
This thought-provoking collection of essays reveals how the contemporary
specter of war has become a central way in which racism and materialism are
manifested and practiced within education. Education at War asserts that the
contemporary neoliberal characterization of education and school-based reform
is situated within the global political economy that has facilitated growth in
the prison and military-industrial complex, and simultaneous divestment from
education domestically. Essays examine antiwar projects across the K–20 education
continuum with chapters from educators who are from and/or work directly with the
communities often pathologized in “damage-centered” educational discourse. The
Education
authors frame the conditions faced by our communities as not just state-mediated
but also as collectively resisted.
They place war, surveillance, and carcerality at the center of critical race analysis

lessons and comments for educators and youth workers. In cultivating this text, the
editors have contributed to building a community of educators, activists, teachers,
The Fight for Students of Color in and scholars who collectively explore how resistance can produce the opportunity
for rich, diverse, and transformative learning for marginalized students and
America’s Public Schools communities.

Perhaps no other function of a free press is as important as the watchdog role—its

ability to monitor the work of the government. It is easier for politicians to get away
with abusing power—wasting public funds and making poor decisions—if the press
is not shining its light with what is termed “accountability reporting.” This need has
become especially clear in recent months, as the American press has come under
virulent direct attack for carrying out its watchdog duties. Upending the traditional
media narrative that watchdog accountability journalism is in a long, dismaying
decline, The Watchdog Still Barks presents a study of how this most important form
of journalism came of age in the digital era at American newspapers.
Although the American newspaper industry contracted significantly during the
1990s and 2000s, Fordham professor and former CBS News producer Beth Knobel
illustrates through empirical data how the amount of deep watchdog reporting on
the front pages of the newspapers studied generally increased over time despite
shrinking circulations, low advertising revenue, and pressure to produce the kind
of soft news that plays well on social media. Based on the first content analysis to
focus specifically on accountability journalism nationally, The Watchdog Still Barks
examines the front pages of nine newspapers located across the United States to
paint a broad portrait of how public service journalism has changed since 1991 as
the advent of the Internet transformed journalism. This portrait of the modern
newspaper industry shows how papers of varying sizes and ownership structures
around the country marshaled resources for accountability reporting despite
significant financial and technological challenges.
The Watchdog
The Watchdog Still Barks includes original interviews with editors who
explain why they are staking their papers’ futures on the one thing that American
newspapers still do better than any other segment of the media: watchdog and
Still Barks investigative reporting.

Napoli/New York/Hollywood is an absorbing investigation of the significant impact

that Italian immigrant actors, musicians, and directors—and the southern Italian
stage traditions they embodied—have had on the history of Hollywood cinema
and American media, from 1895 to the present day. In a unique exploration of the
transnational communication between American and Italian film industries, media,
or performing arts as practiced in Naples, New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles,
this groundbreaking book looks at the historical context and institutional film history
from the illuminating perspective of the performers themselves—the workers who
lend their bodies and their performance culture to screen representations. In doing
so, the author brings to light the cultural work of families and generations of artists
that have contributed not only to American film culture, but also to the cultural
construction and evolution of “Italian-ness” over the past century.
Napoli/New York/Hollywood offers a major contribution to our understanding
of the role of southern Italian culture in American cinema, from the silent era to
contemporary film. Using a provocative interdisciplinary approach, the author
associates southern Italian culture with modernity and the immigrants’ preservation
of cultural traditions with innovations in the mode of production and in the use of
media technologies (theatrical venues, music records, radio, ethnic films). Each
chapter synthesizes a wealth of previously under-studied material and displays
the author’s exceptional ability to cover transnational cinematic issues within a
historical context. For example, her analysis of the period from the end of World War
I until the beginning of sound in film production at the end of the 1920s delivers a

This book is addressed to “lovers of paradoxes,” and the editors have done their
utmost to assemble a stellar cast of Neapolitan and American scholars, intellectuals,
and artists/writers who are strong and open-minded enough to wrestle with
and illuminate the paradoxes through which Naples presents itself. Naples is a
mysterious metropolis. Difficult to understand, it is an enigma to outsiders, and
also to the Neapolitans themselves. Its very impenetrableness is what makes it so
deliriously and irresistibly attractive. The essays attempt to give some hints to the
answer of the enigma, without parsing it into neat scholastic formulas. In doing this,
the book will be an important means of opening Naples to students, scholars, and
members of the community at large who are engaged in “identity-work.” A primary
goal has been to establish a dialogue with leading Neapolitan intellectuals and artists
and, ultimately, ensure that the “deliriously Neapolitan” dance continues.

Italian adventurer and sea captain Celso Cesare Moreno traveled the world
lying, scheming, and building an extensive patron/client network to establish his
reputation as a middleman and person of significance. Through his machinations,
Moreno became a critical player in the expansion of western trade and imperialism
in Asia, the trafficking of migrant workers and children in the Atlantic, the conflicts
of Americans and Native Hawaiians over the fate of Hawai’i, and the imperial
competitions of French, British, Italian, and American governments during a
critically important era of imperial expansion during the nineteenth century. Oh
Capitano! teases out Moreno’s enormous peculiarities and fascination as well as his
significance.
Celso Cesare Moreno was simultaneously toxic, deceitful, and charming in
equal measure. He wandered, adventured, cheated, exaggerated, promoted (mainly
himself ), and continually created newly invented past lives. He repeatedly sought
with gusto a role at the center of a globalizing world and had no qualms about lying or
betraying others. He claimed at times to be the ruler of a Southeast Asian island that
he then offered for sale to several Western nations. He briefly became prime minister
of Hawai’i. He testified before the U.S. Congress as an expert witness. He sought
to promote a transpacific cable project. He fought with the ministers and leaders
of many countries (and with his fellow Italians and Catholic churchmen almost
everywhere) but was more often ignored and rejected than feted. He was accused,
probably with good cause, of abusing his obligations after claiming guardianship of
the sons of King David Kalakaua of Hawai’i. Dragged by his uncontrollable polemical
Oh Capitano!
passions, the old Captain died alone, unloved by anyone and with no significant
relations to others.
With its focus on Moreno, Oh Capitano! illustrates some of the most puzzling
Adventurer, Cheater, and Scoundrel cultural traits of emigrant Italian elites. Called a “carpet beggar,” “land pirate,”
“extinct volcano,” among many other derogatory monikers, Moreno emerges in this

a single epithet.

“As Ralph Rodriguez acutely and brilliantly demonstrates, the ‘troublingly

unstable signifier’ has always provoked artistic risk from our writers. In
disentangling—but not disengaging—the word from the art itself, he provides a
widening spotlight to the fascinating range of aesthetic practices and narrative
approaches at the root of so many of our complex representations of race, class,
gender, and desire.”

Since the 1990s, there has been unparalleled growth in the literary output from an
ever more diverse group of Latinx writers. Extant criticism, however, has yet to catch
up with the diversity of writers we label Latinx and the range of themes about which
they write. Little sustained scholarly attention has been paid, moreover, to the very
category under which we group this literature. Latinx Literature Unbound, thus,
begins with a fundamental question: “What does it mean to label a work of literature
or an entire corpus of literature Latinx?” From this question others emerge: What
Latinx Literature does Latinx allow or predispose us to see, and what does it preclude us from seeing?
If the grouping—which brings together a heterogeneous collection of people under a

seemingly homogeneous label—tells us something meaningful, is there a poetics we
can develop that would facilitate our analysis of this literature?
In answering these questions, Latinx Literature Unbound frees Latinx literature

“A profound philosopher and psychoanalyst.”

“With rigor and charm, Anne Dufourmantelle breaks in an emergent concept—

crucial yet unclassifiable—that has been overlooked by the big guns of
philosophical discourse. The notion of gentleness resets the hermeneutics of
affect and ontology.”
—AVI TA L RO N ELL, New York University
Key moments of our lives, especially at the beginning and end, are marked by
gentleness—but the simplicity of that concept is misleading. Gentleness is an active
passivity that may become an extraordinary force of resistance within ethics and
politics. In this powerful rethinking by a renowned philosopher and psychoanalyst
whose untimely death captured worldwide attention, gentleness becomes a series of
embodied paradoxes: power that is also soft, nobility that is also humble, sweetness
that is also intelligent, subtlety that is nevertheless striking, fragility that has the
potential to subvert the status quo.
Across Western and Eastern religion, philosophy, literature, and art, gentleness
is marked by the complexities and ambivalences characteristic of that which we
experience through the senses. Yet today, we are most familiar with a gentleness
sold to us in the diluted form of mawkishness. This is how we try to evade its

subtlety—no longer by fighting it, but by enfeebling it. In the name of our highest
values—happiness, truth, security—we enforce “gentle” safeguards against hurt
and are persuaded to participate in our era’s three divinities: efficiency, speed, and

a true gentleness affords.

Portraits, this book suggests, unlock the paradoxes of subjectivity. Nancy shows
how the portrait, far from conveying a sitter’s self-sameness, is suspended between
proximity and distance, likeness and strangeness, representation and presentation,
the faithful and the forceful. A portrait can identify an individual, but it can also
express a more complex double movement of approach and withdrawal.
Portrait comprises two extended essays in close conversation, written a decade
apart, in which Nancy considers the range of aspirations articulated by the portrait.
Accompanied by three dozen illustrations, it also includes a new Preface written for
the English-language edition and a substantial Introduction by Jeffrey Librett that
situates the work within a range of religious, aesthetic, and psychoanalytic accounts
of the subject.
Portrait is grounded in a bold and searching engagement with the traditions out
of which our thinking about the subject has emerged. It is also a playful series of
readings that draws on a wide range of portraits: from carvings on ancient drinking
vessels to recent experimental or parodic pieces in which sitters are rendered in the
“media” of their own blood, germ culture, or DNA.
Photos are ubiquitous today, but Nancy argues that this in no way makes thinking
about the portrait an idle pursuit. On the contrary, the forms of appearing (and
disappearing) that mark portraits—old and new—can serve to renew our exploration
of the human figure today. At stake is what Nancy calls “the very possibility of our
being present.”

Secular Lyric
The Modernization of the Poem in Poe, Whitman, and Dickinson
J O H N M I C H AEL
Secular Lyric interrogates the distinctively individual ways in which Poe, Whitman, and Dickinson
transformed classical, romantic, and early modern forms of lyric expression to address the
developing conditions of Western modernity, especially the heterogeneity of believers and beliefs
in an increasingly secular society. Analyzing historically and formally how these poets inscribed
the pressures of the modern crowd in the text of their poems, John Michael shows how the masses
appear in these poets’ work as potential readers to be courted and resisted, often at the same time.
Unlike their more conventional contemporaries, Poe, Whitman, and Dickinson resist advising,
sermonizing, or consoling their audiences. They resist most familiar senses of meaning as well.
For them, the processes of signification in print rather than the communication of truths become
central to poetry, which in turn becomes a characteristic of modern verse in the Western world. Poe,
Whitman, and Dickinson, in idiosyncratic but related ways, each disrupt conventional expectations

On March 4, 1865, the day Abraham Lincoln delivered his second inaugural address,
Reverend Doctor George Peck put the finishing touches on a collection of his
sermons that he intended to send to the president. Although the politically moderate
Peck had long opposed slavery, he, along with many other northern evangelicals,
was not an abolitionist. During the Civil War he had come to support emancipation,
but, like Lincoln, the conflict remained first and foremost about preserving the
Union. Believing their devotion to the Union was an act of faithfulness to God first
and the Founding Fathers second, Our Country explores how many northern white
evangelical Protestants sacrificed racial justice on behalf of four million African
American slaves (and then ex-slaves) for the Union’s persistence and continued
flourishing as a Christian nation.
By examining Civil War–era Protestantism in terms of the Union, Grant
Brodrecht adds to the understanding of northern motivation and the eventual
“failure” of Reconstruction to provide a secure basis for African Americans’ equal
place in society. Complementing recent scholarship that gives primacy to the Union,
Our Country contends that nonradical Protestants consistently subordinated
concern for racial justice to what they perceived to be the greater good. Mainstream
evangelicals did not enter Reconstruction with the primary aim of achieving racial
justice. Rather, they expected to see the emergence of a speedily restored, prosperous,
and culturally homogeneous Union, a Union strengthened by God through the defeat
of secession and the removal of slavery as secession’s cause.
Brodrecht eloquently addresses this so-called proprietary regard for Christian

America, considered within the context of crises surrounding the Union’s existence
and its nature from the Civil War to the 1880s. Including sources from major
Protestant denominations, the book rests on a selection of sermons, denominational
Northern Evangelicals and the Union newspapers and journals, autobiographies, archival personal papers of several
individuals, and the published and unpublished papers of Abraham Lincoln, Andrew
during the Civil War Era Johnson, and Ulysses S. Grant. The author examines these sources as they address
the period’s evangelical sense of responsibility for America, while keyed to issues of

Embroiled in the Civil War, northerners wrote and spoke with frequency about the
subject of loyalty. The word was common in newspaper articles, political pamphlets,
and speeches; appeared on flags, broadsides, and prints; was written into diaries and
letters and the stationery they appeared on; and even found its way into sermons.
Its ubiquity suggests that loyalty was an important concept, but what did it mean
to those who used it? Contested Loyalty examines the significance of loyalty across
fault lines of gender, social class, and education, race and ethnicity, and political or
religious affiliation. These differing vantage points reveal the complicated ways in
which loyalties were defined, prioritized, acted upon, and related.
While most of the scholarly work on Civil War–era nationalism has focused
on southern identity and Confederate nationhood, the essays in Contested Loyalty
examine the variable, fluid constructions of these concepts in the North. Essays
explore the limitations and incomplete nature of national loyalty and how disparate
groups struggled to control its meaning. The contributors move beyond the narrow
partisan debate over democratic dissent to examine other challenges to and
competing interpretations of national loyalty.
Today’s leading and emerging scholars examine loyalty through the frame of
politics at the state and national level; the viewpoints of college-educated men as well
as the women they courted; the attitudes of northern Protestant churches on issues
of patriotism and loyalty; working-class men and women in military industries; how
employers could use the language of loyalty to take away the rights of workers; and
the meaning of loyalty in contexts of race and ethnicity.

“The Postcolonial Contemporary is without doubt the most comprehensive,

engaging, and provocative reflection on the status of the postcolonial thinking
and the crisis of the present. Informed by sophisticated theoretical thinking and
a solid grasp of colonial and postcolonial history, this book will serve as a model
for how collective conversations and scholarly debates can intervene in the
politics of an unsettled moment.”
— SI MO N GI KA N DI , Princeton University
This volume invokes the “postcolonial contemporary” in order to recognize and

reflect upon the postcolonial character of the contemporary conjuncture, as well as
to inquire into whether postcolonial criticism can adequately grasp it. Neither simply
for nor against postcolonialism, the book seeks to cut across this false alternative and
to think with postcolonial theory about political contemporaneity.
Many of the most influential frameworks of postcolonial theory were developed
from the 1970s to the 1990s, during what we may now recognize as the twilight
of the postwar period. If forms of capitalist imperialism are entering into new
configurations of neoliberal privatization, wars-without-end, xenophobic
nationalism, and unsustainable extraction, what aspects of postcolonial inquiry must
be reworked or revised in order to grasp our political present?
In twelve essays that draw from a number of disciplines—history, anthropology,
literature, geography, indigenous studies—and regional locations (the Black
Atlantic, South Africa, South Asia, East Asia, Australia, Argentina) The Postcolonial

“[Lezra] makes ontology powerfully viable for, and by means of, the critique of contemporary

On the Nature of Marx’s Things is a major rethinking of the Marxian tradition, one based not on
fixed things but on the inextricable interrelation between the material world and our language
for it. Lezra traces to Marx’s earliest writings a subterranean, Lucretian practice which he calls
necrophilological translation that continues to haunt Marx’s inheritors. This Lucretian strain,
requiring that we think materiality as dynamic, aleatory, and always marked by its relation to
language, raises central questions about ontology, political economy, and reading.

PAPERBACK Realizing Capital
Financial and Psychic Economies in Victorian Form
A NNA KO R NB LU H
“If you want to understand what goes on today, how a madness like the 2008 meltdown was
possible, read Realizing Capital!” — SLAVOJ Ž I Ž EK
During a tumultuous period when financial speculation began rapidly to outpace industrial
production and consumption, Victorian financial journalists commonly criticized the instability
of what they called “fictitious capital,” a notion whose artifice was, as the century progressed, to
become naturalized in the fascinating metaphor of “psychic economy.”
In close rhetorical readings of financial journalism, political economy, and Victorian novels,
Anna Kornbluh shows how the Victorians’ psychological framing of economics bequeaths as
its legacy our own dominant paradigm for understanding financial crisis. In the displacements
and ironies of the Victorian novel, Kornbluh traces the ideological grappling that gives today’s

“Reified Life brilliantly brings together seemingly opposing strands of

contemporary theory: Marxist accounts of neoliberalism and financialization
on the one hand and posthumanist accounts of the decentering of human life
on the other. Rather than demonstrate these methodologies as incompatible,
Narkunas reveals their intimacy. This intimacy is organized around a new kind
of reification, one that produces the ahuman. A necessary read.”
— CHRI STO P HER B REU, author of Insistence of the Material:
Literature in the Age of Biopolitics
Even as the 2008 economic crisis solidified the dominion of neoliberal and financial
capital to organize human societies, much to the detriment of the world’s populations,
important questions remain. Among them, what forms of life are free and what
forms are perceived legally and economically as surplus? Which of them, human and
otherwise, are most expendable?
Reified Life theorizes the dangerous social implications of a future where human
agency is secondary to algorithmic processes, digital protocols, speculative financial
instruments, and nonhuman market-based technological forces. Employing new
readings of Deleuze, Guattari, Foucault, Marx, Gramsci, and others, J. Paul Narkunas
contends that it is premature to speak of a posthuman or inhuman future, or to
employ any sort of “ism,” given how dynamic and contingent human practices and
their material figurations can be. Over several chapters he diagnoses the rise of
“market humans,” the instrumentalization of culture to decide the life worth living
along utilitarian categories, as well as the varied ways in which discourses of human
Reified Life rights and humanitarianism actually throw members of the species—refugees, for
instance—outside the human order.
To combat this, Reified Life argues against posthumanist calls to abandon
Speculative Capital humanism, proposing instead the category of the ahuman. Doing so offers us a
way to think alongside the human and to argue for the value of speculative fiction
and the Ahuman Condition as a critical mechanism for envisioning alternative futures and freedoms from

Deconstructing the
Death Penalty
Derrida’s Seminars and the New Abolitionism
K E L LY O L I VER and ST EPHANIE M. ST RAU B, editors
This volume brings together scholars of philosophy, law, and literature, including prominent
Derrideans alongside activist scholars, to elucidate and expand upon an important project of
Derrida’s final years, the recently published seminars he conducted on the death penalty from
1999 to 2001.
The contributors offer remarkable insight into Derrida’s ethical and political work and
establish his importance for continuing debates on capital punishment, mass incarceration, and
police brutality. By deconstructing the theologico-political logic of the death penalty, they work
to construct a new, versatile abolitionism, one capable of confronting all forms the death penalty
might take.

“Essential reading for anyone interested in environmental philosophy.”

— J E FFR E Y NEA LO N , The Pennsylvania State University
Eco-Deconstruction marks a new approach to the destruction of our natural environment. While
the work of Jacques Derrida has already proven highly influential in posthumanist and animal
studies, the present volume brings deconstruction to bear on the most pressing environmental
issues of our time.
Whether exploring an originary environmentality that marks the constitutive ecological
embeddedness of mortal life, examining such remains of human culture as nuclear waste, or
articulating an ecological demand for justice, Eco-Deconstruction will resonate with readers not
only of philosophy, but across the humanities and the social and natural sciences.

habits of thought, by showing that the love of things—crystallized in fashion, advertising, and
consumption—reflects a search for a form of political normativity which has for too long been
seen as illicit, illusory, and immoral.”
—A RJ U N A P PA DURA I , New York University
Objects are all around us—and images of objects, advertisements for objects. Our relation to
objects, this provocative book argues, is what makes us human. Against a facile materialist critique,
Emanuele Coccia shows how things become the medium through which a city enunciates its ethos,

Last Things
Disastrous Form from Kant to Hujar
JAC Q U E S K HALIP
“This is a book whose intelligence and insight the academy desperately needs. Through bravura
readings, Khalip affords his readers the thrill of intellectual discovery while challenging them
to ask if such discoveries themselves are the effect of our determination by lastness.”
— LE E E D E LMA N , Tufts University
The arrival of the Anthropocene brings the suggestion that we are only now beginning to speculate
on an inhuman world that is not for us, only now confronting extinction. In romanticism’s quieter,
non-emphatic modes of thinking the end of human thought, Jacques Khalip explores lastness as
what marks the limits of our life and world. Acknowledging a lastness we do not wish for, Khalip
refuses to elegize or celebrate our ends, instead positing romanticism as a negative force that exceeds
theories, narratives, and figures of survival and sustainability.

The Mediated Mind

Affect, Ephemera, and Consumerism in the Nineteenth Century
SU SA N ZI E G E R
How did we arrive at our contemporary consumer media economy? Why are we now fixated on
screens, imbibing information that constantly expires, and longing for more direct or authentic
kinds of experience? The Mediated Mind answers these questions by revisiting a previous media
revolution, the nineteenth-century explosion of mass print. Like our own smartphone screens,
printed paper and imprinted objects touched the most intimate regions of nineteenth-century life.
The rise of this printed ephemera, and its new information economy, generated modern consumer
experiences such as voracious collecting and curating, fantasies of disembodied mental travel,
and information addiction. Susan Zieger demonstrates how the nineteenth century established
affective, psychological, social, and cultural habits of media consumption that we still experience,
even as pixels supersede paper. Revealing the history of our own moment, The Mediated Mind
challenges the commonplace assumption that our own new media lack a past, or that our own

Poetry and Mind

Tractatus Poetico-Philosophicus

“The astonishing range and acuity of Dubreuil’s poetic readings show how seriously the
author takes his contention that poetry, if read attentively, jostles the cerebral cortex.”
— J O H N M OWI T T, University of Leeds
Humanists cannot afford to ignore the past decade’s work in psychology, artificial intelligence, and
neuroscience. At the same time, poetry allows us to move beyond the limits of thought—to think
differently. A joint commitment to literary, philosophical, and scientific insights animates this
remarkable account of poetry’s centrality to cognition.
The book is developed through brief, eloquent logical elaborations punctuated by thirty close
literary readings, ranging from Sophocles to Gertrude Stein, from Wang Wei to Aimé Césaire, from
cuneiform tablet to rap music. Poetry—a perhaps universal phenomenon among humans—arises

Plato and the Invention of Life

M I C H A E L NAAS
“This book offers a novel, timely, and provocative reading of the pervasive theme of life in
Plato and its significance for the history of Western thought. Naas highlights the dialogue
that Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida, Giorgio Agamben, and others have carried on
with Plato—offering his own supplements and corrections along the way. The result is a
compelling and thought-provoking reading of Plato’s contribution to what is perhaps the
most vital and volatile concept in contemporary theoretical discourse.”
— SA R A BR I LL, Fairfield University
The question of life, Michael Naas argues, though rarely foregrounded by Plato, runs through
and structures his thought. By characterizing being in terms of life, Plato begins to discover—to
invent—a notion of true or real life that would be opposed to all merely biological or animal life.
Lucid yet sophisticated, Naas’s account offers a fundamental re-reading of what the concept of
life entails, one that inflects a range of contemporary conversations, from biopolitics, to the new

Trauma and Transcendence

Suffering and the Limits of Theory
E R I C B OY NTO N and PET ER CAPRET TO, editors
afterword by M ARY-JANE RU BENST EIN
Trauma theory has become a burgeoning site of research in recent decades, often demanding
interdisciplinary reflections on trauma as a phenomenon that defies disciplinary ownership.
While this research has always been challenged by the temporal, affective, and corporeal
dimensions of trauma itself, trauma theory now faces theoretical and methodological obstacles
given its growing interdisciplinarity. Trauma and Transcendence gathers scholars in philosophy,
theology, psychoanalysis, and social theory to engage the limits and prospects of trauma’s
transcendence. This volume draws attention to the increasing challenge of deciding whether
trauma’s unassimilable quality can be wielded as a defense of traumatic experience against
reductionism, or whether it succumbs to a form of obscurantism.

Inner Animalities
Theology and the End of the Human
E R I C DA RY L MEYER
“What does it mean to be a creature in the proximity of the realm of God? Meyer makes an
elegant case that the idea of human uniqueness is a sign of human fallenness. This book offers
that rare gift: a theological way out of the protracted, defensive need to keep humanity from its
God-given animality. In its important theological conceptualizations, in its vivid and visionary
discussions, this book gives me hope.”
— C A R O L J. ADA MS, author of The Sexual Politics of Meat
Most theology proceeds under the assumption that divine grace works on human beings through our
uniqueness among Earth’s creatures—our freedom, self-awareness, language, or rationality. Inner
Animalities draws creatively on historical and scriptural texts to imagine instead an account of
human life centered in creaturely commonality.

“There really is nothing new about anti-Semitism in the age of today’s white ethno-nationalism.
Freud and Monotheism brings the debate about Sigmund Freud’s last work on the origins of
anti-Semitism up to the present day.”
— SA N D E R G I LMA N , Emory University
Over the past few decades, vibrant debates regarding postsecularism have found inspiration and
provocation in the works of Sigmund Freud. A new interest in the interconnection of psychoanalysis,
religion, political theory, and modernity has emerged, with Freud’s controversial final book, Moses
and Monotheism, taking a central role.

The Self-Emptying Subject

Kenosis and Immanence, Medieval to Modern

“The Self-Emptying Subject is a fantastically worthwhile book—lucid, timely, and important.

Dubilet explores kenosis as a radical possibility for life, where we may find an immanent joy not
dependent on a future redemption.” — KA RMEN MACK EN DRI CK
“In this important book, Dubilet recharges immanence via Deleuze and Laruelle to fashion
a kenotic subject without transcendence. Based on cutting-edge scholarship, these
groundbreaking interpretations of Eckhart, Hegel, and Bataille constitute a significant
intervention into contemporary continental philosophy of religion and theology.”

“Other Others is the most ambitious work I have read in the field of Jewish political and
philosophical thought in some time. It is creative, synthetic, well written, and conceptually clear.
. . . A scintillating piece of scholarship.” — SA RA H HA MMERSCHLAG, University of Chicago
Denying legal and moral existence to those who do not belong to a land, while tolerating diversity of
those who do, stabilizes a political order—or does it? Revisiting this core problem of political theory,
Other Others turns to the Talmud as an untapped resource for political thought.
Sergey Dolgopolski introduces the concept of “other others,” those who do not bear any “original”
belonging to a recognized land and thereby trouble our territorially marked conception of friend and
enemy. Dolgopolski powerfully shows how modern political theory and the thought registered in the
Talmud can inform each other, developing alternatives to the us/them dichotomy that continues to

medicine
Mirko D. Grmek (1924–2000) is one of the most significant figures in the history of
medicine and has long been considered a pioneer of the field. The singular trajectory
that took Grmek from Yugoslavia to the academic culture of postwar France placed
him at the crossroads of different intellectual trends and made him an influential
figure during the second half of the twentieth century. Yet scholars have rarely
attempted to articulate his distinctive vision of the history of science and medicine
with all its tensions, contradictions, and ambiguities. This volume brings together
and publishes for the first time in English a range of Grmek’s writings, providing
a portrait of his entire career as a historian of science and an engaged intellectual
figure. Pathological Realities pieces together Grmek’s scholarship that reveals the
interconnections of diseases, societies, and medical theories.
Straddling the sciences and the humanities, Grmek crafted significant new
concepts and methods to engage with contemporary social problems such as wars,
genocides and pandemics. Uniting some major strands of his published work that
are still dispersed or simply unknown, this volume covers the deep epistemological
changes in historical conceptions of disease as well as major advances within the
life sciences and their historiography. Opening with a classic essay—“Preliminaries
for a Historical Study of Disease”—this volume introduces Grmek’s notions of
“pathocenosis” and “emerging infections,” illustrating them with historical and
contemporary cases. Pathological Realities also showcases Grmek’s pioneering
approach to the history of science and medicine using laboratory notebooks as well
as his original work on biological thought and the role of ideologies and myths in the
Pathological
history of science. The essays assembled here reveal Grmek’s significant influence
and continued relevance for current research in the history of medicine and biology,
medical humanities, science studies, and the philosophy of science.
