his book has its origins in 2015, when the three of us and our colleague Frank Us-beck, having just finished a project on the poetics and politics of narrative, becameincreasingly interested in thinking and theorizing beyond this seemingly ubiqui-tous form. Having focused so much on the well-established category of narrative,we now wanted to divert our attention to artifacts and formations that…
Can true love materialize from a transactional affair? Let me turn to a certain Akira Kurosawa in order to broach my preoccupation with this capacious question, one that preoccupied a set of commercial Hindi films in a postwar, post-independence period of the long 1960s. By “Akira Kurosawa,” I am referring to a song sequence (clip 1) from the unassuming…
Th e following book on Bob Dylan’s songs does not directly concern Bob Dylan a.k.a Robert Zimmerman, either the actual person or the musical-cultural celebrity. Nor does it claim to make claims about what Bob Dylan intended in or when composing any one of his songs. Instead, I mostly refer to Bob Dylan’s work and certain biographically relevant events in terms of a fi gur…
Whenever i think about climate change, which is often, I strug-gle to make sense of its enormity. So much seems to be at stake. Maybe everything. And there’s not a lot of time to try to blunt its most destructive impacts. Yet I don’t know if anything I do matters. I feel powerless. I run through the routine of my days, scurrying from one activity to the next wh…
The prose poem, in Poland, is an entity that is –as Le?mian would have it –“incompletely-incarnated,” supposedly described in dictionaries, at times even ephemerally resurrected in some title but, in general, leading a clandestine exis-tence, turned rather towards the past, brooding over its former lives? In any case, there were never very many of them in …
Twenty years ago, very few music scholars examined Broadway musicals. If musicologists were a bit slow to approach the musical theater reper-toire (and they were), theorists and analysts arrived—and are only now arriving—more than fashionably late to the party. We hope that this vol-ume loudly announces that we are here.Music theorists care about musical theater. We kn…
The project I have undertaken is to account for ethical perception (aisth?sis) in Aristotle’s ethics—to give perception a place of importance in ethi-cal reasoning, choice, and action—and to offer an account of the faculty of perception that is expansive enough to include reception of the ethical significance of particulars. This project is motivated phil…

The experience of the Covid-19 pandemic has significantly accelerated ongoing transactions between twenty-first-century biomedical and informational technologies. The sight of hundreds of millions worldwide submitting their bodies to experimental vaccines suggests that the modes of human security laid out by Michel Foucault in his Collège de France lectures may in fact have moved into a new ti…
According to legend, the Jade Emperor called all twelve celestial animals to his palace to assign them their place in the zodiac.

On a most minute scal…
