Constituent Power, Violence, and the State

Constituent Power, Violence, and the State

Dimitri Vouros

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2024
sidottu
In Constituent Power, Violence, and the State, Dimitri Vouros examines the question of political violence by placing the thought of Georges Sorel, Walter Benjamin, and Hannah Arendt in conversation with contemporary theories of sovereignty and constituent power.Vouros argues that the violence sustaining the modern state inhibits institutional accountability and derails constituent power. The paradox of modern law—which is both the expression of the people’s will but also alienated from them—sets the stage for political contestation. For Vouros, the multitude’s potentiality is actualized through either organized or spontaneous acts of resistance against state force. Antagonism is therefore a key element of the political and must be included in any theory of political agonism. A strong notion of constituent power ensures the integrity of the public sphere and the expansion of citizens’ political agency. Bringing all these ideas together is unique for this field of investigation.Accessible and engagingly written, Constituent Power, Violence, and the State is a must read for researchers in political theory and political philosophy. Critical legal studies scholars and social theorists will also profit from this book.

"Baseados" come a a instigar pelo t tulo provocativo e amb guo, e a capa j revela muito da inspira o da obra, o universo do pop, no caso dos poemas que recheiam o livro, a m sica rock e metal que um dia foi pop, como Darth Vader o . Mas a obra tamb m tem algo de erudita, criando tens es vivas e provocativas entre Iron Maiden & Cioran, Cradle of Filth e Machado de Assis, uma mistura necess ria e saborosa. O volume nos traz dezenas de poemas, muitos "baseados" em bandas e m sicas espec ficas do rock e heavy metal, mas tamb m com outras inspira es como Freud, Derrida e Neil Gaiman. Descobri que Dimitri t o f de Green Carnation quanto eu, e emocionei-me com um de seus poemas baseado nos Smiths, uma banda que n o curto, apesar do respeito pela postura de vida de Morrissey. Fui escutar de novo uma m sica de Alan Parson s Project - "Psychobabble" - s para reler o poema pungente que o autor criou inspirado nela, e com a trilha ele ganhou outras cores E fui buscar, entusiasmado, m sicas de My Dying Bride e Shara McCallum.

Thunderstruck: Enterrem Meu Coração no Túmulo de Bon Scott
Apresenta oPref cio 1a Edi o, 2016)Ultimamente, particularmente no Brasil, sa ram in meros livros definidos como "Romance Rock", o mais recente o do amigo Dr. Walter Possibom, intitulado "Um Brilho nas Sombras". Mas n o tenho conhecimento de nenhum "Romance Metal". Ao menos n o tinha at receber os originais de um texto escrito por Dimitri Brandi, advogado e vocalista/guitarrista da banda de Death Metal Psychotic Eyes, com a proposta de edi o pela "Editor'A Barata Artesanal". A come ar pelo titulo, hom nimo de uma m sica da banda que pode ser considerada uma das precursoras do g nero, o AC/DC, o livro ponteado por trechos, cita es e refer ncias. Nele, todos ou quase todos os personagens apreciam o estilo, que efetivamente mais que trilha sonora, ponto de converg ncia da hist ria.Como estilo que abrange todas as mentalidades, desde as mais "retrogradas" at as mais "progressistas", al m de aninhar todas as tend ncias tanto na quest o pol tica, quanto na sexual, o Metal representa exatamente tudo aquilo que seus seguidores concebem: a falta de uma linha de conduta, um manual de instru es. O Metal livre disso, ao menos para os que o compreendem. As classifica es e subclassifica es, como o pr prio termo, ficam para serem usadas apenas com intuito did tico. E assim nesse que denominei de "O Primeiro Romance Metal do Brasil", onde todos os personagens, al m da citada liga o com o g nero, representam pessoas relativamente jovens, que vivem num mundo assolado por guerras e polarizado por ideologias e teologias. Um mundo onde preciso se fazer ser visto e entendido de uma forma, as vezes, mais brutal.Todos os personagens apresentados, ali s de forma din mica e sem longos discursos de apresenta o, s o representantes da atual sociedade. Gays, l sbicas, filhos adotivos de duas m es, transexuais, etc.. Todos lutando contra o preconceito, especialmente no mais cruel campo de batalha que existe: a pr pria mente. Todos est o vivendo essa era conturbada, tensa e intensa de ainda inicio do S culo XXI. Todos vivem seus traumas, suas angustias e, a seu jeito, os enfrentam.Todos vivem? Bem, nem todos "vivem", pois o personagem principal da hist ria, morre logo ao inicio do livro, mas continua a fazer sua narrativa, numa refer ncia direta a um dos maiores escritores brasileiros, Machado de Assis. Ali s, o livro repleto de refer ncias a outros autores, sem no entanto soar pedante ou arrogante.Ademais, quem espera que um texto, escrito por um advogado e m sico de Metal, cujo personagem principal um morto, e entremeado por cita es e trechos de m sicas do estilo, e cujos demais personagens n o s o nada ortodoxos, seja uma leitura pesada, de dif cil assimila o e com enigmas indecifr veis, est totalmente enganado. O livro de leitura f cil, embora n o linear, onde todos os elementos de um romance est o presentes, mas, como espelho da atual sociedade, dispensam detalhes que nada acrescentam.Ser um editor alternativo tem suas vantagens, como a de conseguir ler, antes mesmo do prelo, um trabalho t o interessante. E quando as m quinas pararem, e os primeiros acordes impressos desse livro vierem a publico, estou certo que a maioria ir concordar comigo.Luiz Carlos Cichetto, Escritor e Editor Artesanal, Domingo, 18 de Setembro de 2016

Multiscale Modelling in Biomedical Engineering Discover how multiscale modeling can enhance patient treatment and outcomes In Multiscale Modelling in Biomedical Engineering, an accomplished team of biomedical professionals delivers a robust treatment of the foundation and background of a general computational methodology for multi-scale modeling. The authors demonstrate how this methodology can be applied to various fields of biomedicine, with a particular focus on orthopedics and cardiovascular medicine. The book begins with a description of the relationship between multiscale modeling and systems biology before moving on to proceed systematically upwards in hierarchical levels from the molecular to the cellular, tissue, and organ level. It then examines multiscale modeling applications in specific functional areas, like mechanotransduction, musculoskeletal, and cardiovascular systems. Multiscale Modelling in Biomedical Engineering offers readers experiments and exercises to illustrate and implement the concepts contained within. Readers will also benefit from the inclusion of: A thorough introduction to systems biology and multi-scale modeling, including a survey of various multi-scale methods and approaches and analyses of their application in systems biologyComprehensive explorations of biomedical imaging and nanoscale modeling at the molecular, cell, tissue, and organ levelsPractical discussions of the mechanotransduction perspective, including recent progress and likely future challengesIn-depth examinations of risk prediction in patients using big data analytics and data mining Perfect for undergraduate and graduate students of bioengineering, biomechanics, biomedical engineering, and medicine, Multiscale Modelling in Biomedical Engineering will also earn a place in the libraries of industry professional and researchers seeking a one-stop reference to the basic engineering principles of biological systems.
Toward a Hermeneutic Theory of Social Practices
Recent methodological debates have shown that practice theory can either be developed by combining and slightly extending established theoretical concepts of inter-subjectivity, social normativity, collective behavior, interaction between agents and environment, habits, learning, collective intentionality, and human agency; or by following a strategy that promotes the quest for completely autonomous concepts. In the latter case, one defends a thesis of irreducibility.Toward a Hermeneutic Theory of Social Practices advocates this thesis by approaching the interrelational dynamic of social practices in terms of existential analytic. Indeed, this insightful volume outlines a methodology of the double hermeneutics that allows the study of the entanglement of agential plans, beliefs, and intentions with configured practices; while also demonstrating how interrelated social practices with which agency is entangled articulate cultural forms of life.Suggesting a framework for studying the cultural forms of life within the scope of practice theory, this book will appeal to postgraduate students and postdoctoral researchers interested in fields such as Social Theory, Philosophy of Social Science, and Research Methods for Social and Behavioral Sciences.
Essays in the Hermeneutics of Science
Published in 1997, this volume is written from a hermenutico-phenomenological point of view. The essays cover a spectrum of relevant issues: the essential interpretation of science; the possibility of a "strong hermeneutics of science" that takes into consideration science's cognitive structure; the implications of existential-ontological interpretations of science for the post-metaphysical dialogue between hermeneutics and epistomology; the place of rhetorical tools in the human sciences; and the strategies of overcoming the legitimation crisis of the human sciences. Because of its commitment to the radical universalization of the hermeneutic problem, the strong programme of hermeneutics of science, suggested in this book, avoids both objectivism and relativism. In this regard, the essays must be read in relation to the search for a middle way between defending epistemic rationality as a basis for futher development of the "project of modernity" and the postmodern deconstruction of all cognitive identities of modernity.

Juries in the Japanese Legal System

Juries in the Japanese Legal System

Dimitri Vanoverbeke

Trial by jury is not a fundamental part of the Japanese legal system, but there has been a recent important move towards this with the introduction in 2009 of the lay assessor system whereby lay people sit with judges in criminal trials. This book considers the debates in Japan which surround this development. It examines the political and socio-legal contexts, contrasting the view that the participation of ordinary citizens in criminal trials is an important manifestation of democracy, with the view that Japan as a society where authority is highly venerated is not natural territory for a system where lay people are likely to express views at odds with expert judges. It discusses Japan’s earlier experiments with jury trials in the late 19th Century, the period 1923-43, and up to 1970 in US-controlled Okinawa, compares developing views in Japan on this issue with views in other countries, where dissatisfaction with the jury system is often evident, and concludes by assessing how the new system in Japan is working out and how it is likely to develop.
EU-US Cooperation on Internal Security

EU-US Cooperation on Internal Security

Dimitrios Anagnostakis

Routledge
2017

This book analyses the cooperation between the European Union and the United States on internal security and counter-terrorism since the 9/11 terrorist attacks.In particular, four areas of cooperation are examined: customs and supply chain security; judicial cooperation (the mutual legal assistance and extradition agreements); law enforcement cooperation (the Europol-US agreements); and the EU-US agreements for the sharing of air passengers’ data (PNR agreements). These cases are analysed through a conceptual framework based on the theories of international regimes, with the data being drawn from an extensive documentary analysis of media sources collected through the 'Nexis' database, official documents, and from 13 semi-structured elite interviews with US and EU officials. The book argues that the EU and the US have established a transatlantic internal security regime based on shared principles, norms, rules, and interests. While at the beginning of this process the EU had a more reactive and passive stance at the later stages both the EU and the US were active in shaping the transatlantic political agenda and negotiations. The book demonstrates how the EU has had a much more proactive role in its relations with the US than has often been assumed in the current literature.This book will be of much interest to students of EU policy, foreign policy, international security and IR in general.
Greece and Spain in European Foreign Policy
This title was first published in 2001: This in-depth analysis of the foreign policy behaviour of Greece and Spain, draws conclusions on the role and influence that the two southern member states have had at different times. Dimitrios Kavakas concentrates on four aspects: the history; adaptation of domestic structures; patterns of behaviour in participation of the Common Foreign Security Policy (CFSP); and the issue of securitization. Allowing the reader to explore other aspects apart from the study of foreign policy of European Union member states, this invaluable work will find an audience among research and masters students as well as undergraduates. It is also suitable for courses of European foreign policy, comparative policy analysis and specialist courses on politics, international relations and European studies.
