Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A multidisciplinary collection of essays reflecting on Cold War cultural tropes in film, fiction, and contemporary art, and the models of knowledge that they imply.If the term "Cold World" describes a world of infinite complexity, algorithmic capital, and the technological sublime, in many ways the dread experienced during the Cold War, when clear oppositions were laid out between nation states, is echoed in the hall of mirrors of Cold World globalization, where our collective consciousness is overtaken by a flood of difference, uncertainty, and the dread of the incomputability of this alien yet constructed world.But what is the crime scene of the Cold World? How is it to be decrypted? Where are its discontinuities, what is the nature of its violence? This is to say, what is our place in this alien world and how do we even compute the "we" that we describe ourselves to be?Given the existential uncertainty unleashed for those who lived through the Cold War, but whose repercussions are in many ways amplified, relayed, and replayed in a new form for those who must now survive what has been called the "Cold World"-that of technological subjectivation, political malaise, cultural dysphoria, and ecological crisis-this terrain comprises an experiential and experimental horizon that prompts many to pose, and to stage in myriad forms, a fundamental question: "What will we of make of ourselves?"Cold War/Cold World documents a research project in progress that attempts to evaluate and respond to this fundamental shock to the system, examining attempts to render knowable, representable, or figurable the looming threats of both Cold War and Cold World-the common denominator being a distressed attempt to inquire into the dynamics of a real that seems in excess over understanding and the means of politics traditionally conceived; and a concomitant temptation to abandon any intelligent collective engagement in favour of a pragmatics that limits itself to wrestling with local contingencies, or an aesthetics mesmerised by a global sublime.

paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Ein Band in der Reihe SPEKULATIONENHerausgegeben und mit einer Einleitung versehen von Armen Avanessian und Björn Quiring.'For those who relish speculation regarding the future, the tale of supernatural horror provides an interesting field.' [H.P. Lovecraft, Supernatural Horror in Literature, Athol, Mass. 1927]Horrorliteratur und Philosophie haben schon lange zahlreiche verborgene Beziehungen unterhalten und zentrale Motive geteilt. Ihr wohl wichtigster gemeinsamer Nenner sind Gedankenexperimente, die das im Alltagsleben als sicher Vorausgesetzte unsicher erscheinen lassen: Beide befassen sich mit der Frage, ob das Leben nicht ein Traum oder eine Illusion sein könnte und reflektieren über die Erlebbarkeit des eigenen Todes und Gestorbenseins. Beide spekulieren über das mögliche Ende des Kosmos und dessen Implikationen für unser Denken oder unsere Vorstellungskraft; und beide beschäftigen sich mit dem verborgenen Leben des scheinbar Unbelebten (dem Leben des Abbilds, der Schrift und generell des Anorganischen).Mit diesem Band wird die Serie über die Denker des Spekulativen Realismus fortgesetzt, da speziell diese Denker von Beginn an ihre Affinität zum Horror, und insbesondere zum Werk von H. P. Lovecraft und Thomas Ligotti reflektiert und entfaltet haben. Im geplanten Band sind theoretische und literarische Texte versammelt, denen eine aktive Imagination gemeinsam ist, die sich mit der Ausarbeitung einer negativen Kosmologie befasst. Aus der ihnen jeweils eigenen Ausgangsposition nähern sie sich der Grenze zwischen der Theorie des Schreckens und der Fiktion des Schreckens und überschreiten sie gelegentlich.Mit Texten und Originalbeiträgen von Amanda Beech, Ray Brassier, Michael Cisco, Philip K. Dick, Iain Hamilton Grant, Graham Harman, Anna Kavan, Nick Land, Thomas Ligotti, H. P. Lovecraft, Quentin Meillassoux, Reza Negarestani, und Eugene Thacker. 296 pp. Deutsch. …
