Passions of Our Time
View details
Notes: edited with foreword by Lawrence D. Kritzman. Printed version in two notebooks
Annotation: Julia Kristeva is a true polymath, an intellectual of astonishingly wide range whose erudition and insight have been brought to bear on psychoanalysis, literary criticism, gender and sex, and cultural critique. Passions of Our Time showcases recent essays of Kristeva’s that demonstrate the scope of her capacious intellect, her gifts as a stylist, and the profound contribution of her thought to the challenges of the present. The collection begins with а vivid recollection of celebrating, as a child in Bulgaria, Alphabet Day, the holiday honoring the Cyrillic letters, which proceeds outward into a contemplation of the writer as translator. Kristeva considers literature with Barthes, freedom through Rousseau, Teresa of Avila and mystical experience, Simone de Beauvoir’s dream life, and Antigone and the psychic life of women. A group of essays drawing on her psychoanalytic work delve into Freud, Lacan, maternal eroticism, and the continued importance of psychoanalysis today. In a series of striking investigations, she thinks through disability and normativity, monotheism and secularization, the need to believe and the desire to know. Calling for the courage to renew and reinvent humanism, she outlines the principles of a stance founded on the importance of respecting human life. Finally, Kristeva discusses French culture and diversity, rethinking universalism and interrogating the potential for Islam and psychoanalysis to meet, and pays homage to Beauvoir by rephrasing her dictum into the provocative “One is born woman, but I become one.”

Other title information: The Contribution of Fethullah Gülen
Annotation: This book explores the development of the influential worldwide Hizmet movement inspired by the Turkish scholar Fethullah Gülen, known for his moderate Islamic emphasis on peaceful relations among diverse people. It provides a detailed study of Gülen’s account of the virtues and argues that they provide the key to understanding this thinker and the movement he inspired, from its initial establishment of hospitality houses through the growth of worldwide schools, hospitals, media outlets, charitable associations and dialogue centers. The book analyzes the distinctive virtues that shaped the Hizmet movement’s ethos as well as continue to sustain its expansive energy, from the core virtues of tolerance, hospitality, compassion and charity to a host of related virtues, including wisdom, humility, mildness, patience, mercy, integrity and hope. It also examines the Islamic and Sufi roots of Gülen’s understanding of the virtues as well as presents a comparative study of Gülen’s account of the virtues in dialogue with prominent thinkers of the Western philosophical tradition and the religious traditions of Christianity, Judaism and Buddhism.

Infinite Jest
View details
Annotation: A gargantuan, mind-altering comedy about the Pursuit of Happiness in America. Set in an addicts’ halfway house and a tennis academy, and featuring the most endearingly screwed-up family to come along in recent fiction, Infinite Jest explores essential questions about what entertainment is and why it has come to so dominate our lives; about how our desire for entertainment affects our need to connect with other people; and about what the pleasures we choose say about who we are. Equal parts philosophical quest and screwball comedy, Infinite Jest bends every rule of fiction without sacrificing for a moment its own entertainment value. It is an exuberant, uniquely American exploration of the passions that make us human – and one of those rare books that renew the idea of what a novel can do.

Le pouvoir comme passion
View details
Notes: Together with a debate between Algirdas J. Greimas and Paul Ricœur that happened in 23.05.1989.
Annotation: Nous savons déchiffrer un propos que répresente de la passion mais savons-nous reconnaître un texte que manifeste de la passion sans la transcrite? La recherche sémiotique était parvenue à un point où il lui était absilumnet nécessaire de pouvoir observer cette inscription directe du vécu, du sensible dans la trame, d'un discours donné. L'expérience la plus pure consitait à partir d'un texte émotionnellement plat, dans son écriture, et cependant captateur, pour démontrer ce qu le travaillait en sous-main,nune qualité de présence qui pertubait le texte et le troublait en profondeur, alors qu'elle était insignifiée au niveau proprement linguistique: Le pouvouir comme passion est la première expérience de mise en évidence de phénomènes discursifs inarticuláres. We know how to decipher a statement that represents passion, but do we know how to recognize a text that manifests passion without transcribing it? Semiotic research had reached a point where it was absolutely necessary to be able to observe this direct inscription of the lived, of the sensitive in the framework of a given discourse. The purest experience consisted of starting from an emotionally flat text, in its writing, and yet captivating, to demonstrate what was working on it behind the scenes, a quality of presence that disturbed the text and troubled it deeply, while it was insignificant at the strictly linguistic level: Power as passion is the first experience of highlighting inarticulate discursive phenomena.
