In "The Cultural Politics of the Emotions," Sara Ahmed develops a new methodology for reading "the emotionality of texts." She offers analyses of the role of emotions in debates on international terrorism, asylum and migration, and reconciliation and reparation, and reflects on the role of emotions in feminist and queer politics. Of interest to readers in gender studies and cultural studies, the psychology and sociology of emotions, and phenomenology and psychoanalysis, "The Cultural Politics of the Emotions" offers new ways of thinking about our inner and our outer lives.

人类文明正步入一个虚拟现实的时代！观看技术的新变化意味着什么？我们究竟该如何应对这一全新的视觉世界？
《观察者的技术》无疑是关于该话题极具启发性的作品之一。
乔纳森•克拉里向我们展示出，在19世纪早期，人类同样经历了一场影响深远的视觉革命：从“暗箱”到“立体视镜”。由此，人类之眼成了“现代之眼”。然而，观察技术的转变并不是单纯在技术层面上的革新，其背后还纠缠着对人类身体的崭新理解、社会关系和权力关系的变迁、商品经济的勃兴以及哲学思考的演变等诸多错综复杂的因素。总之，被科技史进步叙事所遮掩的裂痕，就此揭开……

24/7: Late Capitalism and the Ends of Sleepexplores some of the ruinous consequences of the expanding non-stop processes of twenty-first-century capitalism. The marketplace now operates through every hour of the clock, pushing us into constant activity and eroding forms of community and political expression, damaging the fabric of everyday life.
Jonathan Crary examines how this interminable non-time blurs any separation between an intensified, ubiquitous consumerism and emerging strategies of control and surveillance. He describes the ongoing management of individual attentiveness and the impairment of perception within the compulsory routines of contemporary technological culture. At the same time, he shows that human sleep, as a restorative withdrawal that is intrinsically incompatible with 24/7 capitalism, points to other more formidable and collective refusals of world-destroying patterns of growth and accumulation.

《身体之重》聚焦于身体和性别的物质性和述行性。巴特勒在本书中引入“征” 、“复现”等重要概念，厘清了她首次在《性别麻烦》中提出并引起广泛争议的“性别述行”理论。通过解读柏拉图、伊瑞葛来、拉康、弗洛伊德、德里达等人的相关论述，以及威拉·凯瑟和詹妮·利文斯顿等人的文学文本和电影作品，本书详细考察了霸权话语如何形构了身体、性别和性属，揭示了在此过程中必然产生的排除、错综复杂的身份认同及其不确定性。巴特勒还在书中提出了诸多尚未解决的议题，这意味着身体政治将进入一个更具开放性的话语空间。
巴特勒认为性别的规制力是一种生产力，它具有生产它所控制的身体的力量。性别是被强行物质化了的理想建构——它不是身体的简单事实或静态状况，而是一个过程，通过对律法的反复征引和复现，管制规范强行对身体和性别加以物质化。而这种物质化从来不曾真正完成，事实上，规制性律法的权力可以被反戈一击，生成质疑这种霸权的再表述。

继《性别麻烦》和《身体之重》之后，巴特勒的这部论文集对她自己提出的性别操演观点进行了重新审视，并开始将对性别的关注点从哲学话语转向现实生活与政治。她针对身体解剖学、美学以及社会与政治等领域对性与性别的各种限定和标准，提出了消解性别这一应对策略。在本书中，她考察了乱伦禁忌的意义和目的、新型亲属关系、性别跨越、双性、性别诊断和变性手术等问题，将对性别规范的批判置于人类生存与延续的框架之内。巴特勒的论述涉及近年来出现的“新性别政治”的各个方面。

In this groundbreaking work, Sara Ahmed demonstrates how queer studies can put phenomenology to productive use. Focusing on the “orientation” aspect of “sexual orientation” and the “orient” in “orientalism,” Ahmed examines what it means for bodies to be situated in space and time. Bodies take shape as they move through the world directing themselves toward or away from objects and others. Being “orientated” means feeling at home, knowing where one stands, or having certain objects within reach. Orientations affect what is proximate to the body or what can be reached. A queer phenomenology, Ahmed contends, reveals how social relations are arranged spatially, how queerness disrupts and reorders these relations by not following the accepted paths, and how a politics of disorientation puts other objects within reach, those that might, at first glance, seem awry.
Ahmed proposes that a queer phenomenology might investigate not only how the concept of orientation is informed by phenomenology but also the orientation of phenomenology itself. Thus she reflects on the significance of the objects that appear—and those that do not—as signs of orientation in classic phenomenological texts such as Husserl’s Ideas. In developing a queer model of orientations, she combines readings of phenomenological texts—by Husserl, Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, and Fanon—with insights drawn from queer studies, feminist theory, critical race theory, Marxism, and psychoanalysis. Queer Phenomenology points queer theory in bold new directions.

With the same intellectual courage with which she addressed issues of gender, Judith Butler turns her attention to speech and conduct in contemporary political life, looking at several efforts to target speech as conduct that has become subject to political debate and regulation. Reviewing hate speech regulations, anti-pornography arguments, and recent controversies about gay self-declaration in the military, Judith Butler asks whether and how language acts in each of these cultural sites.

"Of those who created the intellectual capital used to launch the enterprise of professional sociology, Georg Simmel was perhaps the most original and fecund. In search of a subject matter for sociology that would distinguish it from all other social sciences and humanistic disciplines, he charted a new field for discovery and proceeded to explore a world of novel topics in works that have guided and anticipated the thinking of generations of sociologists. Such distinctive concepts of contemporary sociology as social distance, marginality, urbanism as a way of life, role-playing, social behavior as exchange, conflict as an integrating process, dyadic encounter, circular interaction, reference groups as perspectives, and sociological ambivalence embody ideas which Simmel adumbrated more than six decades ago."--Donald N. Levine
Half of the material included in this edition of Simmel's writings represents new translations. This includes Simmel's important, lengthy, and previously untranslated "Group Expansion and Development of Individuality," as well as three selections from his most neglected work, "Philosophy of Money"; in addition, the introduction to "Probleme der Geschichtsphilosophie," chapter one of the "Lebensanschauung," and three essays are translated for the first time.

☆福柯晚期讲座集第二本，拜德雅持续增量中！☆
• 从古希腊时期德尔斐“认识你自己”的箴言，到基督教于4-5世纪所发展出的一种新的自我技术——“述说自己”，再到现代科学对自我的探查，西方文明对于自我本质的追究从未间断。
• 福柯注意到自我的形成和演变史中所蕴含的中断，而这正是福柯在这两次演讲中试图揭示的由基督教的诞生而导致的重大变化，这一变化甚至决定了后来西方自我文化的发展方向，影响所及，直至当下。至此现代自我、现代主体得以诞生。
• 关于自我和主体的思想是福柯理论中一以贯之的内容。自我如何形成，使用了什么技术是他一直追问的议题。福柯在达特茅斯学院的这两次讲演，简明扼要，不失为进入其主体理论的一篇导言。

The epic successor to one of the most important books of the century: at once a retelling of global history, a scathing critique of contemporary politics, and a bold proposal for a new and fairer economic system.
Thomas Piketty’s bestselling Capital in the Twenty-First Century galvanized global debate about inequality. In this audacious follow-up, Piketty challenges us to revolutionize how we think about politics, ideology, and history. He exposes the ideas that have sustained inequality for the past millennium, reveals why the shallow politics of right and left are failing us today, and outlines the structure of a fairer economic system.
Our economy, Piketty observes, is not a natural fact. Markets, profits, and capital are all historical constructs that depend on choices. Piketty explores the material and ideological interactions of conflicting social groups that have given us slavery, serfdom, colonialism, communism, and hypercapitalism, shaping the lives of billions. He concludes that the great driver of human progress over the centuries has been the struggle for equality and education and not, as often argued, the assertion of property rights or the pursuit of stability. The new era of extreme inequality that has derailed that progress since the 1980s, he shows, is partly a reaction against communism, but it is also the fruit of ignorance, intellectual specialization, and our drift toward the dead-end politics of identity.
Once we understand this, we can begin to envision a more balanced approach to economics and politics. Piketty argues for a new “participatory” socialism, a system founded on an ideology of equality, social property, education, and the sharing of knowledge and power. Capital and Ideology is destined to be one of the indispensable books of our time, a work that will not only help us understand the world, but that will change it.

To great writers, Walter Benjamin once wrote, "finished works weigh lighter than those fragments on which they labour their entire lives." Conceived in Paris in 1927 and still in progress when Benjamin fled the Occupation in 1940, "The Arcades Project" (in German, Das Passagen-Werk) is a monumental ruin, meticulously constructed over the course of 13 years - "the theatre," as the author called it, "of all my struggles and all my ideas." Focusing on the arcades of 19th century Paris - glass-roofed rows of shops that were early centres of consumerism - Benjamin presents a montage of quotations from, and reflections on, hundreds of published sources, arranging them in 36 categories with descriptive rubrics such as "fashion," "boredom," "dream city," "photography," "catacombs," "advertising," "prostitution," "baudelaire," "theory of progress." His central preoccupation is what he calls the commodification of things -a process in which he locates the decisive shift to the modern age. This book is Benjamin's effort to represent and to critique the bourgeois experience of 19th century history, and, in so doing, to liberate the suppressed "true history" that underlay the ideological mask. In the bustling, cluttered arcades, street and interior merge and historical time is broken up into kaleidoscopic distractions and displays of ephemera. Here, at a distance from what is normally meant by "progress," Benjamin finds the lost time(s) embedded in the spaces of things.
