Описание: A vital and timely contribution to the growing scholarship on the political thought of Alain Badiou Is inattention to questions of race more than just incidental to Alain Badiou’s philosophical system? Universal Emancipation reveals a crucial weakness in the approach to (in)difference in political life of this increasingly influential French thinker. With white nationalist movements on the rise, the tensions between commitments to universal principles and attention to difference and identity are even more pressing. Elisabeth Paquette’s powerful critical analysis demonstrates that Badiou’s theory of emancipation fails to account for racial and racialized subjects, thus attenuating its utility in thinking about freedom and justice. The crux of the argument relies on a distinction he makes between culture and politics, whereby freedom only pertains to the political and not the cultural. The implications of this distinction become evident when she turns to two examples within Badiou’s theory: the N?gritude movement and the Haitian Revolution. According to Badiou’s 2017 book Black, while N?gritude is an important cultural movement, it cannot be considered a political movement because N?gritude writers and artists were too focused on particularities such as racial identity. Paquette argues that Badiou’s discussion of N?gritude mirrors that of Jean-Paul Sartre in his 1948 essay “Black Orpheus” that has been critiqued by leading critical race theorists. Second, prominent Badiou scholar Nick Nesbitt claims that the Haitian Revolution could only be considered political if its adherents had shifted their focus away from race. However, Paquette argues that not only was race a central feature of this revolution but also that the revolution ought to be understood as a political emancipation movement. Paquette also moves beyond Badiou, drawing on the groundbreaking work of Sylvia Wynter to offer an alternative framework for emancipation. She juxtaposes Badiou’s use of universality as indifference to difference with Wynter’s pluri-conceptual theory of emancipation, emphasizing solidarity over indifference. Paquette then develops her view of a pluri-conceptual theory of emancipation, wherein particular identities, such as race, need not be subtracted from a theory of emancipation.

Описание: Evoking memories of the past and aspirations for the future to create unique contemporary interiors. Interior design should not be sterile or static; it's a living extension of art meant to be touched, used, and admired. This mindset is the heart of Brian Paquette's interiors. Beginning with the motto, "Function and comfort, first and always," Paquette explores each client's interests and lifestyle to create homes that reflect their identity, history, and aspirations. Integrating the placement of furniture, exposure to light, surface texture, and art, a client's memories are translated into an evocative presence in the home, anchoring them to their past while providing a space of comfort and function for their future. At Home provides inspiration to replicate these methods in your own home regardless of style or budget. How does a person keep their memories alive in a home? Through fabric? A particular scent? Surface texture? Light exposure? Considering these elements and others, this is how Brian Paquette builds a room. By sharing each unique process of design for the ten homes featured in his book, readers can begin to consider their own memories and aspirations for how they too can create a home interior that is a true reflection of themselves.

Описание:
Chris and Sofia are going to find it steamy under the spotlight
Living in Hollywood, Chris Chandler has just about everything that he could ever dream of: a People's Choice Award, lead actor in an acclaimed television series, anything and everything money could buy. Most people would be happy with all of that, but not Chris. As Hollywood's most eligible bachelor, it is difficult to find the one person he wants to spend the rest of his life with, especially living under the constant scrutiny of the paparazzi. Every relationship he's had with a woman--from friends only to dating to semi-serious--gets dissected until there's nothing left. What he needs now, what he wants, is something with no strings attached. Sofia Larson is not your typical escort. She works for Private Lives, a company where the women they employ and the men that seek their company sign contracts, swearing themselves to silence and secrecy. What happens with each encounter is up to Sofia; while companionship is a guarantee, sex is not. Having an obscene amount of bills to pay, Sofia is only in it for the money. Her motto is "Don't get involved, don't get emotional, and don't bring the job home." And then she meets Chris Chandler.

Описание: This book provides an overview of the current antibacterial techniques and main strategies being employed for controlling the colonisation of bacteria on surfaces, together with the design of antibacterial surfaces and their fabrication techniques. The authors discuss the characteristic mechanisms of five main aspects of antibacterial agents and the corresponding representative type of antibacterial agents. In addition, recent findings in (meth)acrylate hydrogels containing metal ions with antimicrobial properties are summarized. Antibiotics, commonly referred to as "wonder drugs", have been used for various therapeutic purposes for decades. As such, this compilation addresses a concomitant problem: the emergence of drug resistance. Antimicrobial adjuvants can aid in the prevention of antimicrobial resistance by suppressing the emergence of bacterial resistance and rejuvenating the antimicrobial activity of currently available commercial antibiotics cost-effectively.

Описание: "And it shall come, thy final day, when the last of the Witch Hunters cuts thy head from thy shoulders. The reign of the witch shall end when the Bishop's cross runs red with blood..." All Zayne Bishop wanted was to collect the money for the head of the latest witch he killed. Last in the Bishop line of Witch Hunters, Zayne was all that stood between the innocent and the creatures of nightmare. He could not have known the drunken man running into the bar screaming about his abducted daughter would be the tool of his downfall. Finding himself the unfortunate victim of an ambush, Zayne faces the Grand Dark Witch. Prompted by an ancient prophecy, Carmellia hurls the Witch Hunter through the Black Mirror into the streets of San Francisco. Nursed back to health by the handsome dhamphyre, Logan Myre, Zayne must fight for his life against a horde of witches and demons controlled by the very witch who threw him, half-dead, into another world. As the search to return Zayne grows more dire, the new allies find there may be no easy way to get the Witch Hunter home. Unfortunately, being thrown through the mirror doesn't offer Zayne safety from Carmellia's influence as the witches are able to communicate across worlds through the mysterious Black Mirrors. And one of them in this new world is just as dangerous.
