At the beginning of the 21st century, there are an increasing
number of states in which elections do not meet the standards of
liberal democracy due to electoral malpractices. The analysis of
the malpractices at all stages of the electoral cycle and their
impact on the political regime is the primary objective of this
book. The research focuses on Turkey. However, the authors move one
step further and try to present the Turkish case from a comparative
perspective. They analyse selected countries in Central Europe, the
Balkans and Latin America. They investigate an interesting process
of mutual reinforcement of increasingly serious electoral
malpractices and change in/of the political regime. It leads to the
development of 'borderline regimes' balancing between two types of
political regimes.
The hegemonic meaning of depression as a universal mental illness
embodied by an individualized subject is propped up by psychiatry's
clinical gaze. Cinemas of Therapeutic Activism turns to the work of
contemporary filmmakers who express a shared concern for mental
health under global capitalism to explore how else depression can
be perceived. In taking their critical visions as intercessors for
thought, Adam Szymanski proposes a thoroughly relational
understanding of depression attentive to eventful, collective and
contingent qualities of subjectivity. What emerges is a melancholy
aesthetics attuned to the existential contours and political stakes
of health. Cinemas of Therapeutic Activism adventurously builds
affinities across the lines of national, linguistic and cultural
difference. The films of Angela Schanelec, Kelly Reichardt,
Apichatpong Weerasethakul and Kanakan Balintagos are grouped
together for the first time, constituting a polystylistic common
front of artist-physicians who live, work, and create on the belief
that life can be more liveable.
This collection of literature attempts to compile many of the
classic, timeless works that have stood the test of time and offer
them at a reduced, affordable price, in an attractive volume so
that everyone can enjoy them.
