"In these postmodern times, we are bombarded with rumours, allegations of conspiracies and revelations about the real, but hidden objectives of powerful interest groups. We cannot live without collective representations. They are inside us, as part of our covert culture. But the observation that they are a substantial part of our life also requires us to be very attentive to their important and partly unconscious negative role. Although these representations are often useful, they can also be misleading and dangerous. In this publication, Dr. Jan Berting presents the disjunction phenomenon. He analyses nine cases, treating the disjunction between a collective representation of society and the role of reality in different ways"--P. [4] of cover.

Deleuze and Guattari's Philosophy of Freedom

This volume addresses the issue of freedom in the philosophy of Deleuze and Guattari. This is all the more challenging in that Deleuze-Guattari almost never use the term freedom, preferring instead, the concept of the refrain. The essays collected in the volume show that freedom has been understood in a remarkably narrow sense and that in fact freedom operates as the refrain in every realm of thought and creation. The motivating approach in these essays is Deleuze-Guattari’s emphasis on the irreality of media and capitalistic sign regimes, which they perceive to have taken over even the practices of philosophy, the arts, and science. By offering a clear and engaging treatment of the underexplored issue of freedom, this volume moves the discussion of Deleuze-Guattari’s philosophy forward in ways that will appeal to researchers in Continental philosophy and a wide range of other disciplines.

Literature holds a privileged place in Deleuze’s works. Not only is it the art that most clearly reveals his aesthetics, but it also serves as the laboratory of his thought, the space where he experiments with concepts that become part of his ongoing philosophical project. In this brilliant analyses of Deleuze’s texts on Proust, Sacher-Masoch, Kafka, Carmelo Bene, Melville and Beckett, Pombo Nabais traces the development of Deleuze’s aesthetics across three distinct periods of his thought: the transcendental empiricism of Difference and Repetition and The Logic of Sense; the philosophy of Nature of Anti-Oedipus and A Thousand Plateaus; and the philosophy of Spirit of The Fold, What Is Philosophy? and Essays Critical and Clinical. More than a simple account of Deleuze’s literary theory and aesthetics, this book offers a provocative and original reading of Deleuze’s entire philosophy, highlighting the question of modality (the actual, the virtual, the possible, the impossible and the incompossible), the problematic relationship between the event and the assemblage, and the unifying theme of the vitalism of nonorganic life.

The book bundle features five books. This first scenario exceeds the limits of human thinking. Conventional weapons and warfare are replaced by martial arts and chivalry, a new way of warmaking in the 21st century. The devil is gaining the upper hand, trying to take over control on Earth. Step by step, Satan and its followers advance... It is trying to establish control through its companions. The time has come to fight back. To win the war, humanity has to overpower hostilities against each other and enter an alliance against a common enemy. The pyramids and triangles fly towards earth. Evil will attack earth with these flying castles... Prepare yourselves for a next level experience! This book is a nice introduction to the sequel, explaining the basics of Satan's technology and a what if scenario follows, according to the decisions the people make. The second book is written for curious people, for advanced readers, it differs much from the first one! The second book is a political intrigue, which describes a futuristic scenario based on the current political situation. The third book ends the second book and humanity regains control of the planet. Developing from a barbarian civilisation towards a modern civilisation will not be that easy! The Rewind scenario. A book very enjoying to read. Actually every five books are different in style, and this one is unique as I describe someone who will change the world with his leadership, by doing this, I combine elements of surprise. Book 5, Replay, gives a fast action packed and paced experience to the readers, who have to accept, I presume, this one is the best possible scenario for humankind, totally defying the Reset and Rewind scenarios... Which scenario humanity will choose, will change future. At the end, when we manage to win from the antichrist, we have to fight Gog and Magog, that is for sure. So, which scenario would you prefer at the end? Reset, Rewind or the Replay?

How can we describe movements in animated films? In Figure and Force in Animation Aesthetics, Ryan Pierson introduces a powerful new method for the study of animation. By looking for figures--arrangements that seem to intuitively hold together--and forces--underlying units of attraction, repulsion, and direction--Pierson reveals startling new possibilities for animation criticism, history, and theory. Drawing on concepts from Gestalt psychology, Pierson offers a wide-ranging comparative study of four animation techniques--soft-edged forms, walk cycles, camera movement, and rotoscoping--as they appear in commercial, artisanal, and avant-garde works. In the process, through close readings of little-analyzed films, Pierson demonstrates that figures and forces make fertile resources for theoretical speculation, unearthing affinities between animation practice and such topics as the philosophy of mathematics, scientific and political revolution, and love. Beginning and ending with the imperative to look closely, Figure and Force in Animation Aesthetics is a performance in seeing the world of motion anew.
