The Translation of a System in Deconstruction: Jacques Derrida and the War of Language against Itself --Afterword --Notes --Bibliography --IndexWar after Death considers forms of violence that regularly occur in actual wars but do not often factor into the stories we tell about war, which revolve invariably around killing and death. Recent history demonstrates that body counts are more necessary than ever, but the fact remains that war and death is only part of the story—an essential but ultimately subordinate part. Beyond killing, there is no war without attacks upon the built environment, ecosystems, personal property, artworks, archives, and intangible traditions. Destructive as it may be, such violence is difficult to classify because it does not pose a grave threat to human lives. Nonetheless, the book argues that destruction of the nonhuman or nonliving is a constitutive dimension of all violence—especially forms of extreme violence against the living such as torture and rape; and it examines how the language and practice of war are transformed when this dimension is taken into account. Finally, War after Death offers a rethinking of psychoanalytic approaches to war and the theory of the death drive that underlies them.ViolenceHistoryBeckett.Derrida.Freud.Genet.Goya.Philosophy.Psychoanalysis.Violence.War.ViolenceHistory.303.609Miller Steven1471396MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910789039403321War after death3854398UNINA02561oam 2200589I 450 991096036660332120251117064327.00-203-78398-01-282-91461-897866129146141-4441-2827-210.4324/9780203783986 (CKB)2670000000059708(EBL)615860(OCoLC)694738893(SSID)ssj0000829013(PQKBManifestationID)11506211(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000829013(PQKBWorkID)10843003(PQKB)11431492(MiAaPQ)EBC615860(Au-PeEL)EBL615860(CaPaEBR)ebr11165037(CaONFJC)MIL291461(OCoLC)897447573(EXLCZ)99267000000005970820180706d2013 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrConsciousness an introduction /Susan BlackmoreSecond edition.London ;New York :Routledge,2013.1 online resource (555 p.)Description based upon print version of record.1-4441-0487-X Includes bibliographical references and index.Cover; Book title; Contents; Preface; Introduction; Section One: The problem; Section Two: The world; Section Three: The self; Section Four: The brain; Section Five: Evolution; Section Six: Artificial consciousness; Section Seven: Borderlands; Section Eight: Altered states of consciousness; Section Nine: First-person approaches; References; IndexIs there a theory that explains the essence of consciousness? Or is consciousness itself just an illusion? The 'last great mystery of science', consciousness is a topic that was banned from serious research for most of the last century, but is now an area of increasing popular interest, as well as a rapidly expanding area of study for students of psychology, philosophy and neuroscience. This ground-breaking textbook by best-selling author Susan Blackmore was the first of its kind to bring together all the major theories of consciousness studies, from those based on neuroscience to those basedConsciousnessConsciousness.153Blackmore Susan J.1951-848336MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910960366603321Consciousness4470857UNINA
