First Published in 1970.This is a collection of critical essays on international relations and is the first in a volume of series of publications. As the general title indicates, the essays will express forward looking, often ‘revisionist’ points of view. Their main themes will be those of contemporary international relations, broadly interpreted. But contemporary events are obviously affected by events in the past, especially the recent past, and we shall seek essays devoted to new or revised interpretations in international history. The contributors also aim at including essays on the economic as well as the political aspects of international relations.

Free Download Sara Ahmed, "Queer Phenomenology: Orientations, Objects, Others"
English | 2006 | pages: 232 | ISBN: 0822339145, 0822338610 | PDF | 5,6 mb
In this groundbreaking work, Sara Ahmed demonstrates how queer studies can put phenomenology to productive use. Focusing on the "orientation" aspect of "sexual orientation" and the "orient" in "orientalism," Ahmed examines what it means for bodies to be situated in space and time. Bodies take shape as they move through the world directing themselves toward or away from objects and others. Being "orientated" means feeling at home, knowing where one stands, or having certain objects within reach. Orientations affect what is proximate to the body or what can be reached. A queer phenomenology, Ahmed contends, reveals how social relations are arranged spatially, how queerness disrupts and reorders these relations by not following the accepted paths, and how a politics of disorientation puts other objects within reach, those that might, at first glance, seem awry.
