After Savagery
Written during a genocide, After Savagery reveals the ethical bankruptcy of "Western philosophy" and how it undergirds the erasure of the colonized. The death toll in Gaza continues to rise-a cold, lifeless number representing entire communities crushed under the weight of settler colonialism.What remains of the theories we use to understand our world? With lyrical and lucid fury, Hamid Dabashi exposes the racist roots of Western philosophy, demanding that readers overcome its pernicious phantom of relevance. Rather than perceiving "the West" as giving carte blanche to Israel, Dabashi insists that Israel must be understood as its quintessence.If Israel is the West and the West is Israel, then Palestine is the world and the world is Palestine. Holding to glimmers from revolutionary works of literature and film, Dabashi argues, in grief and love, that the wretched of the earth need poetry after barbarism-and that Palestine is the site of a liberated imagination.

Iki Yanilsamanin Sonu Batidan Sonra Islam
Iki Yanilsamanin Sonu, günlük haberlerden son iki yüzyilin ve daha öncesinin en derin ve en aydinlatici tarihlerine uzanan, büyük ölcüde fetislestirilmis iki soyutlama olan Islam ve Bati arasindaki en tehlikeli yanilsamalari parcalayan cesur, kiskirtici ve cigir acan bir eser. Hamid Dabashi bu kitapla, bu iki kavram arasinda hayal edilen medeniyet ayrimlarinin, cesitli ve degisken topluluklarin yasadiklari melez deneyimleri aciklamakta nasil yetersiz kaldigini gösteriyor. Iki Yanilsamanin Sonu, ayrintili tarihsel ve güncel analizler araciligiyla bu küresel kurguyu yaratan motivasyonlari aciga cikariyor. Dabashi, Batinin nasil Avrupa Aydinlanmasi sirasinda icat edilen ideolojik bir meta ve medeniyet mantrasi oldugunu ve küresellesmis kapitalist modernitenin yükselisi icin bir merkez üssü olarak hizmet ettigini gösteriyor. Buna karsilik oryantalist ideologlar da, dünyanin dört bir yaninda Hindistan, Cin, Afrika, Latin Amerika, Orta Dogu asagi medeniyetler seklinde ayni derecede hayali soyutlamalar üretti. Sonuc, bir yanda Islamofobi, diger yanda militan Islamcilik olmak üzere, cagdas tarihimize yanlis aciklamalar ve hatali öngörüler getiren bir medeniyet düsmanliginin prototipi olarak Islam ve Bati projeksiyonu oldu. Dabashi, bu tehlikeli iliskiyi ortadan kaldirmanin, tehlikeli yanilsamalarini aciga cikarip üstesinden gelmenin ve dünyayi seraplarin ötesinde hayal etmenin zamaninin coktan geldigini savunuyor. Iki Yanilsamanin Sonu, son zamanlarda ortaya cikan en ikonoklastik elestirel düsünce ve bilim calismasidir ve paylastigimiz dünyanin cok daha özgürlestirici bir hayal cografyasina giden yolu acmaktadir.

In the process, they place the enduring significance of Edward Said's legacy in an unfolding context and locate his work within the moral imagination and environment of the time.

Conversations with Mohsen Makhmalbaf
Born in Tehran in 1957, filmmaker Mohsen Ostad Ali Makhmalbaf grew up in the religious and politically charged atmosphere of the 1960s, and the June 1963 uprising of Ayatollah Khomeini constitutes one of his earliest memories. In 1972, Makhmalbaf formed his own urban guerrilla group and two years later attacked a police officer, for which he was arrested and jailed. He remained incarcerated until 1978, when the revolutionary wave led by Ayatollah Khomeini freed him and launched his career as a writer and self-taught filmmaker. Since then, Makhmalbaf has gone on to make such highly admired films as Gabbeh and The Silence. The three lengthy conversations collected here, between Makhmalbaf and leading Iranian film critic and scholar Hamid Dabashi, traverse the filmmaker's experiences as a young radical, his critical stance regarding the current Islamic regime, and his fascination with films--both as product and as process. In this in-depth view of one of the most significant Middle Eastern filmmakers of our time, Makhmalbaf reflects on the relationship between cinema and violence, tolerance, and social change, as well as the political and artistic importance of the autonomy of the filmmaker.
