What can Roger Rabbit tell us about the Second Gulf War? What can a woman married to the Berlin Wall tell us about posthumanism and inter-subjectivity? What can DJ Shadow tell us about the end of history? What can our local bus route tell us about the fortification of the West? What can Reality TV tell us about the crisis of contemporary community? And what can unauthorized pictures of Osama Bin Laden tell us about new methods of popular propaganda? These are only some of the thought-provoking questions raised in Avoiding the Subject, which highlights the feedback-loops between philosophy, technology, and politics in today’s mediascape.

In this class, you will join me in learning how to create portraits. 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.

The Forgotten Subject Subject Constitutions in Mediatized Everyday Worlds


Free Download Peter Gentzel, "The Forgotten Subject: Subject Constitutions in Mediatized Everyday Worlds"
English | ISBN: 3658428716 | 2023 | 294 pages | PDF | 6 MB
The volume provides a critical inventory of existing concepts of the subject in communication studies research. 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.

Law in Crisis The Ecstatic Subject of Natural Disaster (The Cultural Lives of Law)


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.

The Postcolonial Subject in Transit Migration, Borders and Subjectivity in Contemporary African Diaspora Literature


Free Download Delphine Fongang, "The Postcolonial Subject in Transit: Migration, Borders and Subjectivity in Contemporary African Diaspora Literature "
English | ISBN: 149856383X | 2018 | 174 pages | EPUB | 266 KB
The Postcolonial Subject in Transit presents in-depth analyses of the complex transitional migratory identities evident in emerging African diasporic writings. It provides insights into the hybridity of the migrant experience, where the migrant struggles to negotiate new cultural spaces. It shows that while some migrants successfully adapt and integrate into new Western locales, others exist at the margins unable to fully negotiate cultural difference. The diaspora becomes a space for opportunities and economic mobility, as well as alienation and uncertainties. This illuminates the heterogeneity of the African diasporic narrative; expanding the dialogue of the diaspora, from one of simply loss and melancholia to self-realization and empowerment.

The Kantian Subject


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.

Desettlering as Re-subjectification of the Settler Subject


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.
