The collection engages with a wide conceptual field, including the following: embodiment, the pre- and post-human, language, cybernetics, biological and technological evolution, and genetics. Drawing on philosophy, anthropology and science writing, the articles explore from different perspectives the way in which French thinkers have consistently questioned commonly held assumptions about the relationship between the human and the technological, and also between science, machines and the natural world. These were core preoccupations of Chris Johnson's work and of those colleagues - several of whom have contributed to this collection - who were fortunate to collaborate with him and share his passionate engagement with these issues.

As a result, this book provides a definitive source and specification of key areas in the field of Kantian cosmopolitanism and its relationship to current debates in political theory, philosophy and the study of international relations.Garrett Wallace Brown is Professor of Political Theory and Global Health Policy at the School of Politics and International Studies, University of Leeds.Áron Telegdi-Csetri is an independent researcher based in Cluj-Napoca, an alumnus of the New Europe College, Institute for Advanced Study, Bucharest.

Riven with unresolved traumas and appropriated by successive governments, the past haunts spaces in Mexican film and visual culture. These events, without consensus or a singular/unifying narrative, act like spectres haunting the present. To comprehend how they manifest, Legacies of the Past considers how filmmakers and visual artists have found ways of understanding these haunted spaces.With case studies of films like El atentado (2010), Flor en Otomí (2012) and the photography of Dulce Pinzón, this collection analyses the audio-visual representations of several heightened events in Mexican history. The conbtributors' explorations, imaginings and counter-imaginings bring the past to the foreground, creating new narratives and proposing new histories in order to show the significance of storytelling and narrative for a shared understanding of ourselves.Miriam Haddu is Senior Lecturer in the School of Humanities, Royal Holloway, University of London.

Assesses the impact of political, non-violent resolution efforts in the Northern Irish and Turkish-Kurdish peace processesThis book challenges the notion of 'conflict resolution' in the Northern Irish and Turkish-Kurdish peace processes, both far-reaching ethno-nationalist conflicts in the post-Cold War era. Incorporating fieldwork carried out until 2015, I. Aytaç Kadioglu compares these conflicts during major peace attempts, from early secret talks and semi-official peace initiatives, to multilateral and internationalised conflict-resolution processes through not only main armed protagonists, but also independent third parties.As Brexit re-ignites discussion around the border of Northern Ireland, and as the repercussions of the Syrian civil war on the dynamics of the Kurdish conflict continue to unfold, these two cases are particularly important to the study of conflict resolution. In critically assessing existing literature, this book presents an innovative framework for conflict-resolution processes, suggesting that ethno-nationalist conflicts are too complex to be resolved solely through official negotiations.Key Features. Offers an important contribution to conflict-resolution research, theorising the various stages involved in the attempted resolution of asymmetric conflicts. Relies on primary sources, including interviews and recently declassified archival papers to reveal the insights of both peace processes. Presents an innovative framework for conflict resolution, a starting-point for further research on managing peace processes and ethno-nationalist conflictsI. Aytaç Kadioglu is Assistant Professor of Politics and International Relations at Adiyaman University.

A systematic reflection on the social conditions of caring for othersEstelle Ferrarese argues for an understanding of morality that is materialist and political. Taking the Frankfurt School philosopher Theodor W. Adorno as a point of departure, she questions his social philosophy by submitting it to ideas deriving from theories of care. She thinks through the mechanisms of the social fragility of caring for others, the moral gestures it enjoins, as well as its political stakes.Ferrarese shows that the capitalist form of life, strained by a generalised indifference, produces a compartmentalised attention to others, one limited to very particular tasks and domains and attributed to women.Offering a systematic study of the idea of 'coldness' in Adorno's philosophy, this book stages a dialogue between Adornian Critical Theory and the ethics of care. In doing so, it is able to approach old questions in a new light in a bid to give dignity to the singular, to make heard its specific claims and its moral pertinence.Estelle Ferrarese is Full-Professor of Moral and Political Philosophy at Picardie-Jules-Verne University (France).Steven Corcoran has translated numerous works by French and German philosophers, including Jacques Rancière and Alain Badiou, and is the editor of The Badiou Dictionary, published by Edinburgh University Press.
