Günter Amendt: No Drugs. No Future. Der "wichtigste Drogentheoretiker im deutschsprachigen Raum" (NZZ) über Drogen im Zeitalter der Gobalisierung. Ob Anabolika im Fitnessstudio, Amphetamine zur Leistungssteigerung im Beruf, Sedativa in der Kindererziehung oder Ecstasy als Stimmungsmacher auf Partys - unser Alltag ist längst durchdrungen von Drogen, selbst wenn man die gesellschaftlich akzeptierten psychoaktiven Substanzen Alkohol und Nikotin nicht mitzählt. 1,2 bis 1,4 Millionen Menschen sind nach offiziellen Schätzungen allein in Deutschland von Psychopharmaka abhängig, während nur 150.000 süchtig nach harten Drogen wie Heroin sind. Trotzdem verhalten sich Politiker noch immer so, als sei Drogenkonsum ein Problem von Randgruppen. International zählen Drogen nicht nur zu den Gütern mit den höchsten Profitraten, sondern werden von den USA zur Durchsetzung der eigenen machtpolitischen Interessen eingesetzt. Ob in Asien oder Mittel- und Südamerika, oft koalieren die Einheiten der CIA mit dem lokalen Drogenhandel und agieren damit sogar gegen die Interessen der US-Drogenpolitik. Günter Amendt zählt nicht nur die spektakulärsten Aktionen der amerikanischen Spezialeinheiten auf (mit all ihren Folgen für die Umwelt und die Sozialstruktur in den jeweiligen Ländern), er zeigt in seinem eigens für diese Neuausgabe verfassten Nachwort, dass auch Deutschland eine wichtige Rolle in diesem "War on Drugs" spielt. Seit die Bundeswehr in Kundus für Ruhe und Ordnung sorgen sollen, ist sie Teil des internationalen Drogengeschäfts, ob sie will oder nicht. Nach dreißig Jahren Drogenforschung stellt Günter Amendt fest: Die auf Verbote und Repressionen aufbauende Drogenpolitik ist gescheitert. ein Kurswechsel ist überfällig. Der kompromisslose Kampf gegen Drogen ist nicht zu gewinnen und richtet sowohl international als auch in unserer Gesellschaft große Schäden an, ohne dass dauerhafte Erfolge sichtbar würden. Von den bestehenden Restriktionen profitiert nur die Drogenmafia. Das Modell einer kontrollierten Freigabe von psychoaktiven Substanzen dagegen stünde zwar im Widerspruch zu der "War on Drugs"-Politik der UN und der USA, ist aber langfristig er einzig realistische Weg zu einer Gesellschaft, die sich nicht von Drogen terrorisieren lässt. Wir würden damit akzeptieren, dass Menschen Drogen konsumieren und von einer Gesellschaft ausgehen, in welcher das Individuum sowohl Selbstverantwortung als auch Verantwortung für andere wahrnimmt, wobei für diejenigen, die diese Verantwortung nicht übernehmen können, Hilfen angeboten würden. Eine differenzierte Drogenlegalisierung würde den Zusammenbruch des illegalen Drogenmarktes bewirken und Gerichte sowie Strafverfolgungsbehörden entlasten - sieben bis zehn Milliarden Euro pro Jahr (je nach Berechnungsgrundlage) ließen sich so allein in Deutschland einsparen. Nur mit einer Drogenpolitik, die sich von der Illusion einer drogenfreien Gesellschaft verabschiedet lässt sich eine Lösung des Drogenproblems erreichen - dass sie möglich ist, beweist der Erfolg politischer Modellversuche in den Niederlanden und der Schweiz. "Es ist nicht das erste Buch über unsere süchtige Gesellschaft und es ist nicht das erste Buch von Günter Amendt zu diesem Thema. Aber es ist eines, das in bisher selten gekannter Klarheit das Thema zusammenfasst und sagt, wie wir es anpacken können." Hessischer Rundfunk "Die klare, unterhaltsame und wohltuend unhysterische Zusammenstellung des vielleicht schon mehrmals Gehörten stärkt die Argumetationskraft und senisbilisiert fürs Thema." Gerhard Meister,Wochenzeitung "Ein bewusstseinserweiterndes Buch" Schümer & Dorn, SWR Aktualisierte Neuausgabe. Mit einem neuen Nachwort von Günter Amendt, dass auf die aktuellen Entwicklungen auf dem Markt psychoaktiver Substanzen, einem Interview mit dem Autor sowie einer Stellungnahme von Wolfgang Neskovic, heute Richter am Bundesgerichtshof, der mit einem Urtei

A new collection on carnival hokum and magical thinking in post-apocalypse America—brought to you by The Baffler. There's never been a better time to be outside the consensus—and if you don't believe it, then peer into these genre-defining essays from The Baffler, the magazine that's been blunting the cutting edge of American culture and politics for a quarter of a century. Here's Thomas Frank on the upward-falling cult of expertise in Washington, D.C., where belonging means getting the major events of our era wrong. Here's Rick Perlstein on direct mail scams, multilevel marketing, and the roots of right-wing lying. Here's John Summers on the illiberal uses of innovation in liberal Cambridge, Massachusetts. And here's David Graeber sensing our disappointment in new technology. (We expected teleportation pods, antigravity sleds, and immortality drugs. We got LinkedIn, which, as Ann Friedman writes here, is an Escher staircase masquerading as a career ladder.) Packed with hilarious, scabrous, up to-the-minute criticism of the American comedy, No Future for You debunks “positive thinking” bromides and business idols. Susan Faludi debunks Facebook executive Sheryl Sandberg's phony feminist handbook, Lean In. Evgeny Morozov wrestles “open source” and “Web 2.0” and other pseudorevolutionary meme-making down to the ground. Chris Lehmann writes the obituary of the Washington Post, Barbara Ehrenreich goes searching for the ungood God in Ridley Scott's film Prometheus, Heather Havrilesky reads Fifty Shades of Grey, and Jim Newell investigates the strange and typical case of Adam Wheeler, the student fraud who fooled Harvard and, unlike the real culprits, went to jail. No Future for You offers the counternarrative you've been missing, proof that dissent is alive and well in America. Please be warned, however. The writing that follows is polemical in nature. It may seek to persuade you of something. Copublished with The Baffler.

Comics and the punk movement are inextricably linked--each has a foundational do-it-yourself ethos and a nonconformist spirit defiant of authority. This collection of new essays provides for the first time a thorough analysis of the intersections between comics and punk. The contributors expand the discussion beyond the familiar U.S. and UK scenes to include the influence punk has had on comics produced in other countries, such as Spain and Turkey.

In this book, translated into English for the first time, Lelio Demichelis takes on a modern perspective of the concept/process of alienation. This concept—much more profound and widespread today than first described and denounced by Marx—has largely been forgotten and erased. Using the characters of Narcissus, Pygmalion and Prometheus, the author reinterprets and updates Marx, Nietzsche, Anders, Foucault and, in particular, critical theory and the Frankfurt School views on an administered society (where everything is automated and engineered, manifest today in algorithms, AI, machine learning and social networking) showing that, in a world where old and new forms of alienation come together, man is increasingly led to delegate (i.e. alienate) sovereignty, freedom, responsibility and the awareness of being alive.

In this searing polemic, Lee Edelman outlines a radically uncompromising new ethics of queer theory. His main target is the all-pervasive figure of the child, which he reads as the linchpin of our universal politics of “reproductive futurism.” Edelman argues that the child, understood as innocence in need of protection, represents the possibility of the future against which the queer is positioned as the embodiment of a relentlessly narcissistic, antisocial, and future-negating drive. He boldly insists that the efficacy of queerness lies in its very willingness to embrace this refusal of the social and political order. In No Future, Edelman urges queers to abandon the stance of accommodation and accede to their status as figures for the force of a negativity that he links with irony, jouissance, and, ultimately, the death drive itself. Closely engaging with literary texts, Edelman makes a compelling case for imagining Scrooge without Tiny Tim and Silas Marner without little Eppie. Looking to Alfred Hitchcock’s films, he embraces two of the director’s most notorious creations: the sadistic Leonard of North by Northwest, who steps on the hand that holds the couple precariously above the abyss, and the terrifying title figures of The Birds, with their predilection for children. Edelman enlarges the reach of contemporary psychoanalytic theory as he brings it to bear not only on works of literature and film but also on such current political flashpoints as gay marriage and gay parenting. Throwing down the theoretical gauntlet, No Future reimagines queerness with a passion certain to spark an equally impassioned debate among its readers.

Addiction is often thought about in terms of cause, be that brain chemistry, attachment patterns or cognitive schemas. But this does not allow an understanding of what addiction "is". It does not illuminate how addiction is lived. A phenomenology of addiction reveals that addiction is characterised by an intolerance of pain, a pursuit of pleasure, immediacy, technocratic solutions, alienation, ambiguity and is drenched in deception. These are its individual clinical manifestations, but this is also the way life, in this century, is lived. The addict is thus the ultimate 21st century subject, consuming without end, intolerant of emotion and unable to grasp their own limitations. Rather than embraced, these subjects act as a denied symptom, haunting late capitalism and exposing the vampire-like nature of our culture. As such, these subjects need to be treated not just as individuals who have "gone too far", but as victims of the political agenda shaping our lives. Thus the heart of the book is a description of addiction deepened by existential-phenomenological theory. This description is then used to understand the historical emergence of addiction, its socio-political manifestation and also the crucial issue of how to clinically treat the addict-subject.

The field of phenomenological psychopathology (PP) is concerned with exploring and describing the individual experience of those suffering from mental disorders. Whilst there is often an understandable emphasis within psychiatry on diagnosis and treatment, the subjective experience of the individual is frequently overlooked. Yet a patient's own account of how their illness affects their thoughts, values, consciousness, and sense of self, can provide important insights into their condition - insights that can complement the more empirical findings from studies of brain function or behaviour. The Oxford Handbook of Phenomenological Psychopathology is the first ever comprehensive review of the field. It considers the history of PP, its methodology, key concepts, and includes a section exploring individual experiences within schizophrenia, depression, borderline personality disorder, OCD, and phobia. In addition it includes chapters on some of the leading figures throughout the history of this field. Bringing together chapters from a global team of leading academics, researchers and practitioners, the book will be valuable for those within the fields of psychiatry, clinical psychology, and philosophy.
