How many times have we gathered for a family reunion and wore a t-shirt that depicted our family tree? How intriguing is it when we get information about our bloodlines that tell us more about who we are and where we come from? The family tree has always been a subject of interest, but seldom do we discuss the things that make our family's foundation unstable. We seldom talk about how alcoholism, perversion, or other behavioral issues have negatively impacted our bloodline. We only want to discuss the joy that bearing children has brought to each of the matriarchs and patriarchs of our family. In this book, you will be challenged to speak about the things that have challenged your bloodline; the different behaviors that were inherited from those who have come before us. We do not mind gathering around meals just to talk about the good times, but we have kept silent on the things that families need to be healed from. There has always been a need to address generational behaviors, but these are the things that we have chosen to ignore. Every family has a purpose and we will never tap into God's Kingdom purpose for our bloodline until we rid ourselves of those things that keep us continually distracted. Crooked Trees is our first step to healing. It shows us that there is nothing to hide because most families have something that they need to overcome. If you ever want to enjoy the family dynamics that God has ordained for your life, there is a need to overcome the things that get us off track. Dysfunction is not an individual issue, it is a family issue. Yes, there are those of us that come out on top in spite of- but if the truth is ever told, there is an origin to those things that hide in families that are not comfortable to talk about. Not everyone in your family will be ready to discuss the tough stuff, but this book is for those who want to start healing. This book is a great start to a family book club, small group, or any other creative idea one may come up with to tackle the dysfunction that is challenging families all over this world.

We are used to seeing the everyday as an ordinary aspect of life, something that we need to "overcome"; whereas it actually plays a crucial role in any event of our lives. This highly original book engages with a range of thinkers and texts from across the fields of phenomenology, psychoanalysis and critical theory, including Husserl, Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty, Freud and Benjamin, together with innovative analysis of French literature and the visual arts, to demonstrate that the role of repetition and deferral in modernity has changed dramatically. Rather than allowing the everyday gradually to integrate singular events into its repetitive texture, events are experienced now as self-enclosed entities, allegedly disconnected from the everyday, leading to its impoverishment. The book thus offers a novel understanding of being, body, trauma and shock, but within the framework of the everyday as a concept that deserves a theory of its very own.

Fragility is a condition that inhabits the foundations of social life. It remains mostly unnoticed until something breaks and dislocates the sense of completion. In such moments of rupture, the social world reveals the stuff of which it is made and how it actually works; it opens itself to question. Based on this claim, this book reconsiders the place of the notions of crisis and critique as fundamental means to grasp the fragile condition of the social and challenges the normalization and dissolution of these ‘concepts’ in contemporary social theory. It draws on fundamental insights from Hegel, Marx, and Adorno as to recover the importance of the critique of concepts for the critique of society, and engages in a series of studies on the work of Habermas, Koselleck, Arendt, and Foucault as to consider anew the relationship of crisis and critique as immanent to the political and economic forms of modernity. Moving from crisis to critique and from critique to crisis, the book shows that fragility is a price to be paid for accepting the relational constitution of the social world as a human domain without secure foundations, but also for wishing to break free from all attempts at giving closure to social life as an identity without question. This book will engage students of sociology, political theory and social philosophy alike.
