Abstract Several accounts of postmodernist theories define them as discourses in quotation marks thus shifting the emphasis from reconstruction to deconstruction. Without contesting the import of deconstructive philosophy and Derrida's intervention in particular, in this essay I defend reconstruction and propose it as a mode of postmodernism that is compatible or even complementary with discursive strategies of quote‐mark use. By drawing on Albrecht Wellmer's and Klaus Eder's ideas, I introduce a definition of postmodernism as postmetaphysical thinking and explore some basic metaphysical tenets about subjectivity, reason, language, and human nature as characteristic of the modern era and by no means endemic in thought. I argue that this attempt uncouples reconstruction from metaphysics allowing it to regain its philosophical significance and opens new conceptual horizons for understanding reflection and culture.

Cosmopolitanism has been understood as a postnational identity. This conflates the distinction between nation and nationalism. Most accounts of cosmopolitanism emphasise its legal form (e.g. Habermas? constitutional patriotism) or its cultural dimension (transnational communities) or its political (e.g. democratic cosmopolitanism). This paper argues for a civic dimension to cosmopolitanism, conceived of in terms of discourses of self, other and world. This is tied to a notion of nations without nationalism.

Essays on the Politics of Bodies. I am interested in this paper in exploring the ways in which we may see violence both as a positivity and as the unspoken condition of a certain fantasy of the sustain ability of its various others or opposites, peace, love, and so on. Rather than simply condemn or deplore violence, as we tend to do regard ing the evils of war and suffering and the everyday horrors, we believe we can amelio rate it. I want to raise the question of violence not simply where it is most obvious and mani fest?in the streets, in relations between races, classes, sexes, political oppositions (though I hope what it will raise today does not avoid these issues); but also where is it less obvious, and rarely called by this name, in the domain of knowledges, reflection, thinking, and writ ing. I want not simply to condemn it, but to explore its constitutive role in the establish ment of politics, of thought, of knowledge. For this reason: that, as intellectuals or philoso phers (they are not always, or are only rarely, the same thing), we play a part in various struc tures of violence, whether we choose to or not, not only in our daily but also in our pro fessional and intellectual lives.

Abstract This essay begins with the recent visit of the Secretary of Defense William Cohen to the National Training Center for an Advanced Warfighting Experiment (AWE), and ends with an ethnographic ramble in Disneyworld's backyard at Orlando, Florida, where the CEOs of the defense industries and the flag and general officers of US armed forces convened for four days at the annual Interservice/Industry Training Systems and Education Conference, to analyze, exhibit, and hawk ‘Information Technologies: The World Tomorrow’. In between lies an effort to understand the persistence of what William S. Burroughs called the ‘war universe’.
摘要:本文以美国国防部长威廉·科恩最近对美国国家高级作战实验训练中心(AWE)的访问为开始，以在佛罗里达州奥兰多的迪斯尼乐园后院进行的民族学漫步为结束，在那里，国防工业的首席执行官、国旗和美国武装部队的将军们聚集在一年一度的军种/行业培训系统和教育会议上，进行了为期四天的分析、展示、并宣传“信息技术:未来世界”。在这两者之间，人们试图理解威廉·s·巴勒斯(William S. Burroughs)所说的“战争宇宙”的持久性。

Abstract This essay examines the contemporary masculinity of straight, white men in the business classes of the United States as a category of identity. I argue that this form of masculine identity is currently in crisis, and, through a reading of the 1995 film Toy Story, develop an argument about the value of ‘downsizing’ masculinity in an era of diminished work expectations.
