The Apotheosis of Nullity (eBook, ePUB)

A Transhistorical Genealogy of Human Subjectivity

Beschreibung

This massive book is an intensive inquest into the fate of the human subject as it passes through the primitive, despotic, passional and capitalist regimes found in Deleuze and Guattari. Emphatic, acerbic, loquacious, impassioned, and marshaling a considerable array of theoretical and literary frameworks-from Schelling, Kantorowicz, Agamben, Hegel, Nietzsche, Badiou, Rosenzweig, Lévinas, Derrida, Blanchot, Kierkegaard, Marx, Lazzarato, Berardi, Zizek and Plotinus to Solzhenitsyn, Pessoa, Fuentes, Dostoyevsky, Kafka, Beckett, Mann, Schreber, Dante, Milton, Shakespeare, Sade, the Midrash and Kabbalah-and cavorting through vast expanses of world history, Bartosz Lubczonok scrutinizes the maladies of pain, resentment, bad conscience, ideology, immiseration, torture, death, depression and suicide that have and continue to afflict humanity, and the possibilities of its vertiginous liberation. All is here: the auto-genesis of God, the Crucifixion, the Holocaust, September 11. The Apotheosis of Nullity is a searing indictment of all forms of oppression and despotism, inclusive of neoliberal capitalism, and far surpasses any usage of Deleuze and Guattari to date. It is relentless.

Rezensionen

"<> is a highly impressive piece of academic work. Most elegantly written, it is erudite and well-researched as well as original and deeply passionate. Most importantly, moving between theology and literature, between anthropology and political philosophy, Lubczonok never loses sight of his main subject-the human subject itself." -Professor Adam Lipszyc, Institute of Philosophy and Sociology, Polish Academy of Science
