A Thousand Plateaus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia
Gilles Deleuze
,
Felix Guattari
, ...
University of Minnesota Press
, 1987
You blew it off in grad school, now go back and read it....
Why? Because your critical theory seminar was probably oversimplifying, and you're missing out on a radical piece of performance in book form. Thousand Plateaus is not 400 pages about rhizomes or nomads. That's just the vocabulary. And, I disagree with some of the ...
Postmodernism, or, The Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism (Post-Contemporary Interventions)
Fredric Jameson
Duke University Press
, 1992
mind stretching
Being an engineer, I prefer not to be carried away with my use of words, but this book just makes, channels the reader talk, think, again talk on it in the ways he/she is not very used to. Nevertheless, this is a good exercise in the broadest sense of the word for ...

Darryn Altclass
Brazos Press
, 2009
An excellent and invaluable resource for the Missional church
It's difficult to think of a more influential voice in the missional church movement at this than Alan Hirsch. Maybe his writing partner Mike Frost? Their books have not only defined the questions we need to be asking about church in our time and context but gone a ...
The Postmodern Condition: A Report on Knowledge (Theory and History of Literature, Volume 10)
Jean-Francois Lyotard
Univ Of Minnesota Press
, 1984
Post-Nuclear Philosophical Fallout
If, as William Barrett once remarked, existentialism is "philosophy for the atomic age," then the atomic age's look into the future - by way of Jean-Francois Lyotard's The Postmodern Condition - is nothing short of a nightmarish vision of what post-nuclear philosophy ...
