Rituals of Exchange and States of Exception:
Continuity and Crisis in Politics and Economics
January 15-16, 2011
New York City
 Whether they allow the circulation of ambassadors or of capital, exchange networks provide the basis for global cross-cultural relationships. Though liberal democratic governments pride themselves on the rationality of their procedures, diplomatic protocols and the give-and-take of parliamentary politics attest to complex customs that lie at the heart of such practices. Similarly, recent crises have demonstrated that international financial markets cannot be reduced to a numbers game, however complex, but function on the foundation of a network of promises whose dependability is a matter of habits. Focusing on the contemporary world, this conference will investigate the rituals and protocols that regulate political and economic relations in areas of stability and the underlying forces that come to the fore in periods of crisis. We encourage submissions of paper proposals from scholars in a variety of disciplines including critical theory, philosophy, literature, politics, theology, anthropology, political economy, and cultural studies.

By Telos Press · Monday, June 8, 2009 The Third Annual Telos Conference is scheduled for Saturday, January 16, 2010, in New York City. The topic will be “From Lifeworld to Biopolitics: Empire in the Age of Obama.”
In the context of a dramatic reorganization of the relationships among state, market, and society, the 2010 Telos conference will turn its attention to competing accounts, both theoretical and empirical, of the new modalities of administration, domination, and power. Facing the authoritarian state and a politicized market, how does one “defend society”?

By Telos Press · Tuesday, September 11, 2007 Telos Press Publishing is proud to announce the newest addition to our collection: Jihad and Jew-Hatred: Islamism, Nazism and the Roots of 9/11, by Matthias Küntzel.
This powerful and convincingly argued work traces the impact of European fascism and Nazism on Arab and Islamic activists. As Küntzel investigates the shift of global antisemitism from Nazi Germany to parts of the Arab world during and after World War II, he masterfully illustrates that antisemitism is not merely a supplementary feature of modern jihadism, but lies instead at its ideological core.
This fascinating study lays bare the antecedents of the antisemitism that runs rampant in our world today. Jihad and Jew-Hatred breaks the silence around the central role of antisemitism in Islamist terrorism.
For anyone interested in exploring the mindset of hatred that led to the crimes in New York and Washington on September 11th, 2001, this book is a must-read. For readers interested in the history of Nazi Germany and the Holocaust, this book is a challenge to think outside of a narrowly European context. For everyone, this book provides crucial insight into the roots of terror that continue to threaten all of us.
Telos Press Publishing is committed to stimulating political and scholarly debate—no matter how provocative or unorthodox. Küntzel’s work rises to the challenge.
Matthias Küntzel’s Jihad and Jew-Hatred: Islamism, Nazism and the Roots of 9/11 will be released on November 1, 2007. Click here to pre-order a copy, and we will ship it to you as soon as it becomes available.
