Sampling, Biting, and the Postmodern Subversion of Hip Hop
Drawing on the culture's history before and after the birth of rap music, this book argues that the values attributed to Hip Hop by 'postmodern' scholars stand in stark contrast with those that not only implicitly guided its aesthetic elements, but are explicitly voiced by Hip Hop's pioneers and rap music's most consequential artists. It argues that the structural evacuation of the voices of its founders and organic intellectuals in the postmodern theorization of Hip Hop has foreclosed the culture's ethical values and political goals from scholarly view, undermining its unity and progress. Through a historically informed critique of the hegemonic theoretical framework in Hip Hop Studies, and a re-centering of the culture's fundamental proscription against 'biting,' this book articulates and defends the aesthetic and ethical values of Hip Hop against their concealment and subversion by an academic discourse that merely 'samples' the culture for its own reactionary ends.

Hip Hop, Hegel, and the Art of Emancipation
This book argues that Hip Hop's early history in the South Bronx charts a course remarkably similar to the conceptual history of artistic creation presented in Hegel's Lectures on Aesthetics. It contends that the resonances between Hegel's account of the trajectory of art in general, and the historical shifts in the particular culture of Hip Hop, are both numerous and substantial enough to make us re-think not only the nature and import of Hegel's philosophy of art, but the origin, essence and lesson of Hip Hop. As a result, the book articulates and defends a unique reading of Hegel's Aesthetics, as well as providing a philosophical explanation of the Hip Hop community's transition from total social abandonment to some limited form of social inclusion, via the specific mediation of an artistic culture grounded in novel forms of sensible expression. Thus, the fundamental thesis of this book is that Hegel and Hip Hop are mutually illuminating, and when considered in tandem each helps to clarify and reinforce the validity and power of the other.

Deleuze and Derrida
'Deleuze and Derrida is not only the best study we have by far of the notoriously divergent ways these two seminal French thinkers approached the problem of "difference". It is also a manifesto for the philosophy of the future, since only difference, Cisney insists, is capable of pushing thought to places it has never been before. A wonderfully lucid and provocative book.'Daniel W. Smith, Professor of Philosophy, Purdue UniversityExplores the distinction between the concepts of difference in the philosophies of Jacques Derrida and Gilles DeleuzeFew thinkers from the twentieth century have had a greater impact on the contemporary continental tradition in philosophy than Jacques Derrida and Gilles Deleuze.While their respective areas of research extended into political, literary and artistic domains they are still best known for their respective attempts to theoretically formulate non-dialectical conceptions of difference. As yet, no scholarly work has attempted to compare or contrast their concepts of difference.Vernon W. Cisney draws such a distinction between them, by examining each with respect to Hegel and Nietzsche, differentiating them on the basis of the criticisms they level against Hegel, as well as their valorisations of Nietzsche, and the ways in which they understand Nietzsche's thought to surpass that of Hegel.Vernon W. Cisney is an Assistant Professor of Interdisciplinary Studies and Philosophy at Gettysburg College, PA, USA.Cover image: istockphoto.comCover design:[EUP logo]edinburghuniversitypress.comISBN 978-0-7486-9622-2Barcode

Between Foucault and Derrida
'This book is a careful analysis of the wide-ranging implications of this most unusual of encounters.'Elizabeth Grosz, Duke University'These outstanding essays by leading scholars open up productive new ways of reading the Derrida-Foucault debate. This is an essential collection for all those interested in this epochal exchange between two of the twentieth century's greatest thinkers.'Paul Patton, University of New South WalesDerrida and Foucault are without question two of the most influential philosophers of the twentieth century. Both share a similar motivation to challenge our fundamental structures of meaning - in texts, political structures and epistemic and discursive practices - in order to inspire new ways of thinking. Between Foucault and Derrida explores the notorious 'Cogito' debate and includes the central articles of that debate. It also contains - for the first time in English translation - an important piece by Jean-Marie Beyssade along with a letter written by Foucault in reply. In addition, some of the most well-known scholars working in contemporary continental philosophy address the various philosophical intersections and divergences of these two profoundly important thinkers.Yubraj Aryal is Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Montreal and Visiting Scholar at New York University. Vernon W. Cisney is Visiting Assistant Professor of Philosophy at Gettysburg College. Nicolae Morar is Assistant Professor of Philosophy and Environmental Studies at University of Oregon. Christopher Penfield recently received his PhD in Philosophy from Purdue University.

Derrida's Voice and Phenomenon
'Cisney presents the clearest introduction to this difficult and yet essential Derrida text. His thorough investigation shows us that Voice and Phenomenon is not only one of the most penetrating criticisms of classical phenomenology, but also that it is foundational for Derrida's entire itinerary of thinking. This is a superb work.'Leonard Lawlor, Sparks Professor of Philosophy, Penn State UniversityThe essential toolkit for anyone reading this seminal Derrida text for the first timePublished in 1967, Voice and Phenomenon marked a crucial turning point in Derrida's thinking: the culmination of a fifteen-year long engagement with the phenomenological tradition. It also introduced the concepts and themes that would become deconstruction. Voice and Phenomenon is a short book, but it can be an overwhelming text, particularly for inexperienced readers of Derrida's work. This is the first guide to clearly explain the structure of his argument, step by step.Key features:. Introduces you to Derrida's historical context, with special attention to the importance of Husserl's thought. Provides careful, critical commentary of his text from start to finish, explaining the key arguments and problems as you go . Shows how the concepts used in Voice and Phenomenon paved the way for Derrida's future works. Includes a glossary, further reading and descriptions of some of Derrida's ethical and political concepts from his later writingsVernon W. Cisney is Visiting Assistant Professor in the Department of Philosophy at Gettysburg College, Pennsylvania.
