In On the Post-colony he profoundly renews our understanding of power and subjectivity in Africa. In a series of provocative essays, Mbembe contests diehard Africanist and nativist perspectives as well as some of the key assumptions of postcolonial theory. This thought-provoking and groundbreaking collection of essays-his first book to be published in English-develops and extends debates first ignited by his well-known 1992 article "Provisional Notes on the Post-colony," in which he developed his notion of the "banality of power" in contemporary Africa. Mbembe reinterprets the meanings of death, utopia, and the divine libido as part of the new theoretical perspectives he offers on the constitution of power. He works with the complex registers of bodily subjectivity - violence, wonder, and laughter - to profoundly contest categories of oppression and resistance, autonomy and subjection, and state and civil society that marked the social theory of the late twentieth century. This provocative book will surely attract attention with its signal contribution to the rich interdisciplinary arena of scholarship on colonial and postcolonial discourse, history, anthropology, philosophy, political science, psychoanalysis, and literary criticism.Studies on the history of society and culture ;41.Power (Social sciences)AfricaPostcolonialismAfricaSubjectivityPower (Social sciences)PostcolonialismSubjectivity.302.3/096AK 18000rvkMbembe Achille1957-289893MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911092935103321On the postcolony17248UNINA02382nam 2200553 a 450 991114597900332120251116135400.01-118-67079-51-118-67076-01-118-67078-7(CKB)2670000000400575(EBL)1315451(OCoLC)853364577(OCoLC)841199233(MiAaPQ)EBC1315451(DLC) 2013016647(Au-PeEL)EBL1315451(CaPaEBR)ebr10734633(CaONFJC)MIL505106(MiAaPQ)EBC7147319(Au-PeEL)EBL7147319(PPN)192309080(EXLCZ)99267000000040057520130805d2013 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierBiostatistics decoded /A.

Study design and statistical methodology are two important concerns for the clinical researcher. This book sets out to address both issues in a clear and concise manner. The presentation of statistical theory starts from basic concepts, such as the properties of means and variances, the properties of the Normal distribution and the Central Limit Theorem and leads to more advanced topics such as maximum likelihood estimation, inverse variance and stepwise regression as well as, time-to-event, and event-count methods. Furthermore, this book explores sampling methods, study design and statistiBiometryBiometry.610.72/7Oliveira A. Gouveia deMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9911145979003321UNINA
