Pankaj Mishra Tijd van woede
een geschiedenis van het heden
Pankaj Mishra beschrijft in ‘Tijd van woede’ op een beknopte en briljante manier de geschiedenis van woede als politieke drijfveer. Met verrassende historische parallellen laat hij zien dat deze tijd niet uniek is: ook het begin van de twintigste eeuw was vol van destructiedrift, nationalisme en terrorisme. Dat is geen geruststellende gedachte en ‘Tijd van woede’ is dan ook een alarmerend boek: er zal een mentaliteitsverandering nodig zijn om onze vrijheid, welvaart en stabiliteit te behouden. Bron:...

J. Jolles Het tienerbrein
over de adolescent tussen biologie en omgeving
Je zoon van 15 is slim en verstandig. Waarom doet hij dan soms van die ongelooflijk domme dingen? En waarom vindt hij zijn smartphone en onmiddellijke bevrediging belangrijker dan het plannen van zijn activiteiten? Waarom neemt hij soms onverantwoorde risico's? En hoe kan het dat tieners zich plots heel snel ontwikkelen en een eerdere achterstand omzetten in een voorsprong? Antwoord: de tiener is 'werk in uitvoering'. Dat hangt samen met de hersenrijping: die gaat door tot vér na het twintigste...

The debate about colour naming in 19th century German philology
selected translations
The Debate about Colour Naming in 19th Century German Philology is comprised of eleven essays illustrating the intensity of interest in colour naming and categorisation that arose in nineteenth century Germany. The themes of each chapter vary in their emphasis on particular theories which lie behind the 'testing' of the colour-naming capacities of 'primitive people' throughout the world, and which move towards new variants of the doctrine of 'evolution.' This selection of work directs itself towards...

Deleuze and psychoanalysis
philosophical essays on Deleuze's debate with psychoanalysis
Gilles Deleuze is among the twentieth century's most important philosophers of difference. The style of his extended oeuvre is so extremely dense and cryptic that reading and appreciating it require an unusual degree of openness and a willingness to enter a complicated but extremely rich system of thought. The abundant debates with and references to a variety of authors of many different domains; the sophisticated conceptual framework; the creation of new concepts and the injection of existing concepts...

Katrien Hendrickx The origins of banana-fibre cloth in the Ryukyus, Japan
The Japanese word bashôfu literally means 'banana-fibre cloth'. Both the cloth and the clothing made from it are now considered important constituents of Okinawan identity. This special trait of Okinawan material culture was brought to attention by the Japanese Folk Craft Movement in the 1930s. After years of decline following World War II, the weaving and use of bashôfu saw a revival that accelerated after the return of Okinawa to Japan in 1972 and still continues. Although today bashôfu receives...

Rockwell F. Clancy Towards a political anthropology in the work of Gilles Deleuze
psychoanalysis and Anglo-American literature
'Political anthropology' as the major contemporary importance in Deleuze's work. This work explores the significance of two recurring themes in the thought of Gilles Deleuze: his critique of psychoanalysis and praise for Anglo-American literature. Tracing the overlooked influence of English writer D.H. Lawrence on Deleuze, Rockwell Clancy shows how these themes ultimately bear on two competing 'political anthropologies', conceptions of the political and the respective accounts of philosophical anthropology...

Sexuality and psychoanalysis
philosophical criticisms
The relationship between sexuality and psychoanalysis can be described in terms of an old and stormy love affair. The same can be said about the relationship between psychoanalysis and philosophy. It is precisely this fascinating 'love triangle' that the present volume of essays aims to explore. A diverse group of philosophers and psychoanalysts reflected on the concept of sexuality in Freudo-Lacanian psychoanalysis. The result is a stimulating collection of essays where the role of sexuality in...

Ph. Van Haute | Tomas Geyskens A non-oedipal psychoanalysis?
a clinical anthropology of hysteria in the works of Freud an Lacan
The different psychopathologic syndromes show in an exaggerated and caricatural manner the basic structures of human existence. These structures not only characterize psychopathology, but they also determine the highest forms of culture. This is the credo of Freud's anthropology. This anthropology implies that humans are beings of the in-between. The human being is essentially tied up between pathology and culture, and 'normativity' cannot be defined in a theoretically convincing manner. The authors...

Origins and ends of the mind
philosophical essays on psychoanalysis
Psychoanalysis claims that the individual human mind is structured by its childhood relationships with its parents. But the theory of attachment, evolutionary psychology and contemporary philosophy of mind have all recently re-introduced new dimensions of innateness into mental development and pathology. If attachment is an instinct, then what is the psychological status of the child's relation to the mother? If the mind is in part a product of evolution, then how far down do the inhibitory mechanisms...
