Inventions. 330 $aThis book brings together an international roster of renowned scholars from disciplines including philosophy, political theory, intellectual history, and literary studies to address the conceptual foundations of the humanities and the question of their future. What notions of the future, of the human, and of finitude underlie recurring anxieties about the humanities in our current geopolitical situation? How can we think about the unpredictable and unthought dimensions of praxis implicit in the very notion of futurity?The essays here argue that the uncertainty of the future represents both an opportunity for critical engagement and a matrix for invention. Broadly conceived, the notion of invention, or cultural poiesis, questions the key assumptions and tasks of a whole range of practices in the humanities, beginning with critique, artistic practices, and intellectual inquiry, and ending with technology, emancipatory politics, and ethics. The essays discuss a wide range of key figures (e.g., Deleuze, Freud, Lacan, Foucault, Kristeva, Irigaray), problems (e.g., becoming, kinship and the foreign, "disposable populations" within a global political economy, queerness and the death drive, the parapoetic, electronic textuality, invention and accountability, political and social reform in Latin America), disciplines and methodologies (philosophy, art and art history, visuality, political theory, criticism and critique, psychoanalysis, gender analysis, architecture, literature, art). The volume should be required reading for all who feel a deep commitment to the humanities, its practices, and its future. 606 $aHumanities$xPhilosophy 606 $aHumanities$xSocial aspects 606 $aAutonomy 606 $aHumanities$xForecasting 606 $aGeopolitics$xForecasting 606 $aCivilization, Modern$y21st century$xForecasting 606 $aSocial change$xForecasting 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aHumanities$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aHumanities$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aAutonomy. 615 0$aHumanities$xForecasting. 615 0$aGeopolitics$xForecasting. 615 0$aCivilization, Modern$xForecasting. 615 0$aSocial change$xForecasting. 676 $a001.3 700 $aDean$b Tim, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0496488 701 $aBono$b James J$g(James Joseph)$01029813 701 $aDean$b Tim$f1964-$01029814 701 $aZiarek$b Ewa P?onowska$f1961-$01029815 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464906403321 996 $aA time for the humanities$92446413 997 $aUNINA
