Download and read online ebook Immanence and Micropolitics write by Christian Gilliam. This book was released on 2017-03-27. Immanence and Micropolitics available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Christian Gilliam argues that a philosophy of 'pure' immanence is integral to the development of an alternative understanding of 'the political'; one that re-orients our understanding of the self toward the concept of an unconscious or 'micropolitical' life of desire. He argues that here, in this 'life', is where the power relations integral to the continuation of post-industrial capitalism are most present and most at stake. Through proving its philosophical context, lineage and political import, Gilliam ultimately comes to outline and justify the conceptual importance and necessity of immanence in understanding politics and resistance, thereby challenging the claim that ontologies of 'pure' immanence are either apolitical and/or politically incoherent.

The Anthropocene marks the age of significant human impact on the Earth’s ecosystems, dramatically underscoring the reality that human life is not separate from nature but an integral part of it. Culturally, ecologically, and socially destructive practices such as resource extraction have led to this moment of peril. These practices, however, implicate more than industrial and economic systems: they are built into the political theology of American exceptionalism, compelling us to reimagine human social and political life on Earth. American Immanence seeks to replace the dominant American political tradition, which has resulted in global social, economic, and environmental injustices, with a new form of political theology, its dominant feature a radical democratic politics. Michael S. Hogue explores the potential of a dissenting immanental tradition in American religion based on philosophical traditions of naturalism, process thought, and pragmatism. By integrating systems theory and concepts of vulnerability and resilience into the lineages of American immanence, he articulates a political theology committed to democracy as an emancipatory and equitable way of life. Rather than seeking to redeem or be redeemed, Hogue argues that the vulnerability of life in the Anthropocene calls us to build radically democratic communities of responsibility, resistance, and resilience. American Immanence integrates an immanental theology of, by, and for the planet with a radical democratic politics of, by, and for the people.

At the end of the second millennium BC, the Late Shang state (ca. 1250-1046 BC) was one of the most powerful polities in the ancient world, exerting substantial influence throughout early China from their capital at Anyang (Yinxu). Through the transition from the Late Shang to the Western Zhou, the political landscape experienced a deep rupture and a profound realignment through the turn of the first millennium BC. This significant shift from the Shang state at Anyang to the Zhou (ca. 1046-221 BC) centered in the Guanzhong and Luoyang Basins held immense implications for trajectories of social change in early China. Systematic investigations into the Shang-Zhou transition remain limited in anthropological archaeology. The nature of the impact of this transition on communities caught within a collapsing Shang state and an expanding Zhou state, moreover, is poorly understood.Through the development and application of an archaeology of immanence, the objective of this dissertation is to map the constellations of power that were integral to the processes underlying the Shang-Zhou transition. I engage in a wide-ranging archaeological synthesis of published materials on the social, political, and economic dynamics of early China supplemented by pottery analyses of utilitarian pottery vessels. I argue that the transition is an ongoing accumulation of interrelated events and encounters emerging throughout early China during the late second and early first millennia BC. In elucidating sociopolitical dynamics in the Shang and Zhou periods, I put forward the concept of an affective state. In this model, a state is a political form always in process, incessantly changing and, critically, a historically contingent form that is beholden to the myriad of human and non-human beings that occupy the landscape, their becomings, and their embodied potentialities. I also contend that the complex, overlapping social and economic networks interwoven in what would become the Zhou ancestral landscape provided fertile grounds for the rise of the Western Zhou state. Through a framework focusing on trauma, I also demonstrate how the rise of the Western Zhou society was contingent on the becomings of the Shang people in the wake of conquest.
