A political economy of systemic destruction
Author:
Phenomenal waste has surfaced as the social form and substance of value. In capital’s totalizing process, which commodifies all that comes in its way, wasting classes consume the wasted classes. This book addresses the metamorphosis of value into waste and it focuses on wars as industries of perfect waste. Whereas wasted man is visibly the prevalent commodity on sale, this central element in the commodity relation is rarely mentioned. In line with this, the book examines how waste, as a surrogate value, eludes the crises of capital and maintains its resilience.

Die Iliasglossare nehmen im Rahmen der papyrologischen Zeugnisse zur Erklärung homerischer Texte eine zentrale Stellung ein, weil sie die größte erhaltene Dokumentation darstellen und einen beträchtlichen Zeitraum (1.-7. Jh. n.Chr.) umfassen. In dem vorliegenden Band wird eine neue Aufstellung dieser Iliasglossare auf Papyrus geboten und die materiellen, inhaltlichen und kontextbezogenen Aspekte der Dokumentation untersucht, um ein Gesamtbild der Iliasglossare als Zeugnisse der Kulturgeschichte Ägyptens zu bieten. Zudem werden drei auf Papyrus überlieferte Iliasglossare neuediert.

This lavishly illustrated book is the first systematic exploration of cartographic cartouches, the decorated frames that surround the title, or other text or imagery, on historic maps. It addresses the history of their development, the sources cartographers used in creating them, and the political, economic, historical, and philosophical messages their symbols convey. Cartouches are the most visually appealing parts of maps, and also spaces where the cartographer uses decoration to express his or her interests—so they are key to interpreting maps. The book discusses thirty-three cartouches in detail, which range from 1569 to 1821, and were chosen for the richness of their imagery. The book will open your eyes to a new way of looking at maps.
