Beskrivning
Christopher Watkin provides the first comprehensive introduction to Serres' thought from The System of Leibniz (1968) through to his final publications in 2019. Working from the original French, he engages with both translated and major untranslated texts, providing a true overview of Serres' thinking.Using diagrams to explain Serres' thought, the first half of the book carefully explores Serres' 'global intuition' how he understands and engages with the world and his 'figures of thought', the repeated intellectual moves that characterise his unique approach. The second half explores in detail Serres' revolutionary contributions to the areas of language, objects and ecology.Watkin shows that Michel Serres has produced a cross-disciplinary body of work that provides a crucial and as yet under-exploited reference for current debates in post-humanism, object oriented ontology, ecological thought and the environmental humanities.

Recensioner i media

Anxious Men is an important contribution to the growing body of scholarship concerned with American masculinity as Baldwin explores how “diverse, contradictory, conflicted and contested” it is during the 1940s and 1950s (235). The legacy of the Depression and the Second World War created a crisis over what constituted a masculine identity, which, as Baldwin investigates, led to conservatism and rebellion. The array of masculine representations explored in the study, from office workers to cowboys, soldiers, queer representations, and minority perspectives, provides evidence of how rich and diverse contradictions were to constructions of the masculine gender during the early Cold War era.
