Saad, Gad Suicidal Empathy
Dying to Be Kind
  • HarperCollins Publishers Inc, 2026
  • Hardcover
  • ISBN/EAN: 9780063446533
  • Englisch
AN INSTANT #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERThe bestselling author of The Parasitic Mind shows why empathy in politics leads to civilizational collapse.What happens when a society elevates victimhood to a virtue and decides that punishment is cruel? You get the disease Dr. Gad Saad calls suicidal empathy. And the West may be terminally infected.In his new book, Suicidal Empathy, Saad unleashes a blistering critique of maladaptively irrational altruism that has gripped our culture. This mind parasite hijacked the empathy module of our progressive elite, leading to a catastrophic miscalibration of moral priorities. The results are everywhere: from coddling violent criminals to protecting rapists to branding self-defense as toxic behavior. We are witnessing a civilization in rapid decline. Lunatic policies are instituted because we prioritize the feelings of ostensibly marginalized groups over The Truth, criminals over victims, and squatters over homeowners. This is not humane; it’s an active dismantling of the pillars that keep us safe and free.This crisis of empathy creates a horrifying system of inverse morality where the strong and successful are demonized, and the destructive are celebrated. Just look at the insane inversions we tolerate daily: we prefer illegal migrants over our own legal citizens and veterans, permit drug addicts to threaten children’s safety in parks, and elevate transgender 'women' above biological women in sports and safe spaces. Common sense is dying in a deluge of misguided compassion.Suicidal Empathy is your wake-up call. Stop ignoring your survival instincts in the name of political correctness. This isn't just misguided policy; it is the ultimate expression of a culture actively choosing its own demise.

Wie steht es um die Bürgerrechte jener, die körperlich oder geistig behindert sind? Wie lassen sich gerechte und menschenwürdige Bedingungen über nationale Grenzen hinweg durchsetzen? Und: Auf welche Weise müssen wir unseren Umgang mit Tieren in unsere Vorstellungen von sozialer Gerechtigkeit einbeziehen? In sowohl kritischer als auch konstruktiver Absicht lotet Martha Nussbaum die Grenzen klassischer Gerechtigkeitstheorien aus, unterzieht politische Prinzipien einer gründlichen Revision und lässt eingefahrene Konzepte der sozialen Kooperation, der Würde und der transnationalen Gerechtigkeit in neuem Licht glänzen. Mittels ihres berühmten Fähigkeitenansatzes entwirft sie eine veritable Utopie globaler Gerechtigkeit.

Fraser, Lady Antonia Warrior Queens

  • Softcover
  • ISBN/EAN: 9781842126363
  • Englisch
An inspired evaluation of women leaders in war by a bestselling historian.<BR><BR>Antonia Fraser's Warrior Queens are those women who have both ruled and led in war. They include Catherine the Great, Elizabeth I, Isabella of Spain, the Rani of Jhansi, and the formidable Queen Jinga of Angola. With Boadicea as the definitive example, her female champions from other ages and civilisations make a fascinating and awesome assembly.<BR><BR>Yet if Boadicea's apocryphal chariot has ensured her place in history, what are the myths that surround the others? And how different are the democratically elected if less regal warrior queens of our time: Indira Ghandi and Golda Meir? This remarkable book is much more than a biographical selection. It examines how Antonia Fraser's heroines have held and wrested the reins of power from their (consistently male) adversaries.

Three Thousand Years of War and Peace

  • ISBN/EAN: 9780241395561
  • Englisch
A three-thousand year history of the world that examines the causes of war and the search for peace<BR><BR>In three thousand years of history, China has spent at least eleven centuries at war. The Roman Empire was in conflict during at least 50 per cent of its lifetime. Since 1776, the United States has spent over one hundred years at war. The dream of peace has been universal in the history of humanity. So why have we so rarely been able to achieve it? <BR><BR>In A Political History of the World, Jonathan Holslag has produced a sweeping history of the world, from the Iron Age to the present, that investigates the causes of conflict between empires, nations and peoples and the attempts at diplomacy and cosmopolitanism. A birds-eye view of three thousand years of history, the book illuminates the forces shaping world politics from Ancient Egypt to the Han Dynasty, the Pax Romana to the rise of Islam, the Peace of Westphalia to the creation of the United Nations.<BR><BR>This truly global approach enables Holslag to search for patterns across different eras and regions, and explore larger questions about war, diplomacy, and power. Has trade fostered peace? What are the limits of diplomacy? How does environmental change affect stability? Is war a universal sin of power? At a time when the threat of nuclear war looms again, this is a much-needed history intended for students of international politics, and anyone looking for a background on current events.

NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY TIME, THE NEW YORKER, NPR, AP, THE ECONOMIST, SLATE, THE GLOBE AND MAIL, SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN, AND MORE!<BR><BR>"Careless People is darkly funny and genuinely shocking...Not only does [Sarah Wynn-Williams] have the storytelling chops to unspool a gripping narrative; she also delivers the goods." -Jennifer Szalai, The New York Times <BR><BR>"When one of the world's most powerful media companies tries to snuff out a book - amid other alarming attacks on free speech in America like this - it's time to pull out all the stops." -Ron Charles, The Washington Post <BR><BR>An explosive memoir charting one woman's career at the heart of one of the most influential companies on the planet, Careless People gives you a front-row seat to Facebook, the decisions that have shaped world events in recent decades, and the people who made them. <BR><BR>From trips on private jets and encounters with world leaders to shocking accounts of misogyny and double standards behind the scenes, this searing memoir exposes both the personal and the political fallout when unfettered power and a rotten company culture take hold. In a gripping and often absurd narrative where a few people carelessly hold the world in their hands, this eye-opening memoir reveals what really goes on among the global elite.<BR><BR> Sarah Wynn-Williams's inside story puts you in the room during stumbling encounters with juntas through to the moment Mark Zuckerberg learned of Facebook's role in Trump's election and drew an unexpected conclusion. As she grapples with the reality of Facebook's influence on world events, she experiences the challenges and humiliations of working motherhood within a pressure cooker of a workplace, while Sheryl Sandberg urges her and others to "lean in" through it all.<BR><BR> Careless People is a deeply personal account of why and how things have gone so horribly wrong in the past decade-told in a sharp, candid, and utterly disarming voice. A profound, unflinching look at how technology and the people who control it increasingly shape our lives, Careless People reveals the truth about the leaders of Facebook: how the more power they grasp, the less responsible they become and the consequences this has for all of us.

  • Softcover
  • ISBN/EAN: 9780521589260
  • Englisch
The first of three volumes of essays by Quentin Skinner, one of the world's leading intellectual historians. This collection includes some of his most important philosophical and methodological statements written over the past four decades, each carefully revised for publication in this form. In a series of seminal essays Professor Skinner sets forth the intellectual principles that inform his work. Writing as a practising historian, he considers the theoretical difficulties inherent in the pursuit of knowledge and interpretation, and elucidates the methodology which finds its expression in his two successive volumes. All of Professor Skinner's work is characterised by philosophical power, limpid clarity, and elegance of exposition; these essays, many of which are now recognised classics, provide a fascinating and convenient digest of the development of his thought. Professor Skinner has been awarded the Balzan Prize Life Time Achievement Award for Political Thought, History and Theory.

Thomas Mann und die Demokratie

  • Softcover
  • ISBN/EAN: 9783826093418
  • Deutsch
'Von meiner Zeit will ich zu Ihnen sprechen', so beginnt Thomas Mann 1950 seinen Vortrag Meine Zeit. Dabei geht es dem weltberühmten Autor nicht um sein privates Erleben, sondern vielmehr um die Wahrnehmung seiner Epoche. Vom Kaiserreich, über die Weimarer Republik und das sogenannte Dritte Reich, bis hin zum Kalten Krieg und der deutschen Teilung - Thomas Mann hat all diese Zeitenwenden miterlebt. Sein Weg zum Demokraten ist dabei ebenso spannungsvoll und widerspruchsreich wie die Zeitgeschichte selbst.Dieser Band nimmt den 150. Geburtstag Thomas Manns zum Anlass, Thomas Mann, seine Zeit und sein Verhältnis zur Demokratie neu zu reflektieren. Dabei erweist sich Thomas Manns vielschichtige politische Auseinandersetzung als ausgesprochen aktuell: Seine Zeit ist unsere Zeit. Die Beiträge des Bandes zeigen anhand unterschiedlicher Texte von Thomas Mann, von Essays, über Reden und Radioansprachen bis hin zum erzählerischen Werk, wie sehr Leben und Werk von Thomas Mann durch die Historie geprägt worden sind - und was daraus für die Gegenwart zu lernen ist.

  • Französisch
Toute sa vie, Malika Oufkir a été prisonnière. <BR> C'est à l'âge de cinq ans que la fille aînée du général Oufkir est adoptée par Mohammed V et élevée dans le Palais du Roi, à Rabat, dont elle ne sort que rarement. Défilent devant les yeux d'une princesse espiègle et effrayée les courtisanes du Harem, les esclaves du Feu, les gouvernantes à l'accent allemand. A sa sortie du palais, la fière descendante des Berbères compte parmi les héritières les plus courtisées du Royaume. <BR> La tentative de coup d'Etat du 16 août 1972 contre Hassan II en décide autrement. Ce sera la mort pour le général Oufkir, et la prison pour sa femme Fatéma, et ses six enfants dont le plus jeune n'a pas trois ans ! Des murailles du désert aux cellules envahies par les scorpions, Malika élève ses frères et soeurs et refuse qu'on les laisse mourir. Ils resteront enfermés vingt ans dans des conditions inhumaines. <BR> Schéhérazade moderne, Malika n'a rien oublié l'angoisse des nuits solitaires, la faim et la soif, les frustrations d'une femme privée d'amour, mais aussi l'humour d'une famille à qui l'on veut infliger le pire des châtiments, l'oubli. Elle évoque aussi cette incroyable évasion à mains nues et l'errance clandestine de Casablanca à Tanger, de Tanger à Paris. <BR> Aujourd'hui dans une fresque qui se lit comme un conte des Mille et Une Nuits, Malika la prisonnière devient enfin une femme libre. C'est un témoignage bouleversant qu'elle a confie à Michèle Fitoussi. <BR> Malika Oufkir est née le 2 avril 1953 au Maroc, Michèle Fatoussi est l'auteur chez Grasset de deux romans et d'un recueil de nouvelles.

The definitive work on the subject of oil and a major contribution to understanding our century, The Prize is a book of extraordinary breadth, riveting excitement -- and great importance.<BR><BR> The struggle for wealth and power that has surrounded oil for decades continues to shake the world economy, dictate the outcome of wars, and transform the destiny of men and nations. The Prize is as much a history of the twentieth century as of the oil industry itself. The canvas of this history is enormous -- from the drilling of the first well in Pennsylvania through two great world wars to the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait and Operation Desert Storm. The cast extends from wildcatters and rogues to oil tycoons, and from Winston Churchill and Ibn Saud to George Bush and Saddam Hussein.

The world’s most famous military treatise, in an acclaimed translation by the award-winning translator of the Tao Te Ching and the I Ching<BR><BR>For more than two thousand years, Sun-tzu's The Art of War has provided leaders with essential advice on battlefield tactics and management strategies.

Now, in this crisp, accessible translation, eminent scholar John Minford brings this seminal work to life for today's readers. Capturing the literary quality of the work, Minford presents the core text in two formats: first, the unadorned ancient words of wisdom ascribed to Sun-tzu; then, the same text with extensive running commentary from the canon of traditional Chinese commentators. A lively, learned introduction and other valuable apparatus round out this authoritative volume.<BR><BR>Penguin Classics is the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world, representing a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines.

Weltweit gilt die italienische Küche als Inbegriff von Genuss und kulinarischer Perfektion. Und nichts ist in Italien so heilig wie die prodotti tipici, die regionalen Spezialitäten.

Kaum ein anderes Buch erhitzte die italienischen Gemüter daher so sehr wie die Erkenntnisse des in Parma lehrenden Wirtschaftshistorikers Alberto Grandi: Die heute viel gehypte Authentizität italienischer Produkte sei vor allem auf geschickte Marketingstrategien der Lebensmittelindustrie in den 1970er-Jahren zurückzuführen.

Das nationale Selbstverständnis seines Landes brachte Alberto Grandi damit gewaltig ins Wanken.

Denn es ist längst noch nicht klar, was überhaupt unter "Medienästhetik" zu verstehen ist, was jene bedeutet, was sie will und was sie erfordert bzw. welche Zugriffe und Erklärungen sowohl insgesamt wie exemplarisch für das Medienstudium mit ihr vermittelt und erlernt werden können. Umso notwendiger ist ein Lehrbuch Medienästhetik, das als eine Grundlegung funktioniert. Der Band verortet einerseits das Gebiet der Medienästhetik im wissenschaftlichen Diskurs.

Mediale Phänomene des Horrors sind heutzutage so en vogue wie vielleichtnoch nie. Trotz ihrer Masse und Aktualität - bei einer gleichzeitigreichhaltigen historischen Tradition - werden sie in der akademischenForschung eher stiefmütterlich behandelt. Diese Publikation widmetsich deshalb erstmals aus einer breiten, medienkulturwissenschaftlichausgerichteten Perspektive den wechselseitigen Einflussnahmen undInterferenzen von Medien, Horror und Räumlichkeit. Denn die Bedrohungsszenarienund kulturellen Bedeutungen des Horrorgenreslassen sich seit seinen Ursprüngen auf spezifische mediale Strategienim Umgang mit Räumlichkeit zurückführen: So stellt sich die Fragenach wiederkehrenden Topographien des Horrors (Friedhöfe, Krankenhäuser,Psychiatrien oder Laboratorien...) und den gesellschaftlichenDiskursen, die in diesen symbolischen Orten kulminieren. Darüberhinaus betrachtet der Sammelband aus interdisziplinärer Perspektivedie historisch, kulturell und je nach Medium (Film, Comic,Computerspiel...) unterschiedlichen Inszenierungsweisen räumlicherKonstellationen. Schließlich lässt sich Horror auch auf theoretischerEbene räumlich beschreiben, etwa in Bezug auf Grenzüberschreitungenin Bezug zum Raum der Normalität. Aus dieser Perspektive leistendie Autor*innen eine Relektüre etablierter theoretischer Ansätze.

  • Deutsch
  • Neuausg.

In der scheinbar kurzlebigen Medienform des Plakats manifestieren sich Meinungsäußerungen, Kritik am politischen Gegner, Solidaritätserklärungen, Absichtsbekundungen oder schlicht Propaganda. Plakate tragen zur politischen Kommunikation in komprimierter, visueller Form bei und gestalten das Erscheinungsbild des öffentlichen Raums wesentlich mit. Ihre Aussagen sind eingebunden in historische Kontexte und dokumentieren häufig brennende Themen der politischen Öffentlichkeit.

In Anlehnung an Hannah Arendts Begriff der Agora als zentralem Ort der öffentlichen und politischen Kommunikation wird das Plakat als soziokultureller Akteur auf dem "Marktplatz der Meinungen" analysiert. Die Autor*innen erkunden die spezifischen technischen, historischen, politischen und sozialen Funktionen des Plakats. Die Herausgeber bringen hier Forscher*innen zusammen, die dieser gerade angesichts digitaler Kommunikationszusammenhänge immer wieder für marginal oder veraltetet erklärten Medienform Dimensionen abgewinnen, welche die Vielfalt und die fortbestehenden soziokulturellen Rollen des Plakats deutlich machen.

Der Band geht der Frage nach, wie politische - medial vermittelte - Äußerungen entworfen, verbreitet und verstanden werden und welche Rolle das Plakat hierbei spielt(e) - historisch, aktuell und in Zukunft.

Su, Wendy Reimagining China
Youth Culture and the Search for Identity in a Post-Pandemic Era
  • Indiana University Press, 2027

  • ISBN/EAN: 9780253078179
  • Englisch
  • Framing the Global
Reimagining China explores the lives and cultural imaginations of China's millennials and Generation Z, those born from the mid-1980s to the turn of the millennium amid unprecedented social transformations in both China and the world. Confronted with intensifying geopolitical rivalry, economic uncertainty, the COVID-19 pandemic, and shifting cultural values, Chinese youth navigate through competing visions of identity, belonging, and national destiny. Through their aspirations, disillusionment, resistance, and resilience, this book reveals how young Chinese are reimagining both themselves and a rapidly changing nation.

Grounded in European youth studies and informed by the British Cultural Studies tradition, author Wendy Su identifies and investigates five key themes that define contemporary Chinese youth cultures and subcultures in a post-pandemic era: youth popular nationalism, youth idealism, lying flat-ism and nonviolent resistance, fan culture, and global imagination through the reception of Western and Eastern screen culture. These thematic focal points capture the diverse and often contradictory responses of Chinese youth to the rapidly shifting sociopolitical landscape. Additionally, Su critically examines the evolving relationship between the state and youth, paying particular attention to how young people navigate and negotiate the dual forces shaping their cultural expressions and identities, namely, state authority and market capitalism.

By focusing on the cultural practices, experiences, and expressions of young Chinese people, Reimagining China explores the search for collective identity amid conflicting discourses of national and global development and suggests the contours of a viable, pluralistic modernity rooted in shared Asian values and post-Western global imaginaries.

  • Dzanc Books
Drawn from the author’s experiences during more than a decade of archaeological fieldwork in Africa, Europe, and the Caribbean, this astonishing collection of linked essays explores what violence leaves behind, in a debut for readers of Mary Roach, Maggie Nelson, and Leslie Jamison. Annalisa Bolin has always liked the dead. She’s drawn to the traces that linger: a blue bead, a shard of clay, a fragment of skull sunk deep in the earth. Ghost maps, she calls them, traced over the world of the living. After her first excavation in Ghana, Bolin embarks on life as an archaeologist. Her work takes her across continents—from the genocide memorials of Rwanda, working alongside preservation teams striving to immortalize the truth of the slaughter, to African skulls collected in Berlin colonial museums, to St. Croix in the Virgin Islands, where the emergence of inconvenient bones exposes a society literally built on nineteenth-century cemeteries. As she traces the echoes of violence, the initial thrill of touching the past becomes more than she bargained for: a haunting in which the dead never leave her. Winner of the 2025 Dzanc Nonfiction Prize, Ghost Maps delivers a stunning and deeply affecting exploration of the tension between preservation and violation in archaeological study. Bolin expertly balances historical accounts with the intimacy of her own experiences in the field, and the question of what it means to live alongside the dead.

Cichosz, Maria On Drugs
  • Biblioasis, 2027
  • Softcover
  • ISBN/EAN: 9781771967921
  • Englisch
A reframing of simplistic good-or-bad, black-or-white narratives about drugs. What is a drug? The answer seems so obvious that the question is hardly worth asking. We can all agree that cocaine is a drug, or methamphetamine, or cannabis. But what about sugar? Caffeine? That heavy, sleepy feeling you get after eating a big portion of turkey at Thanksgiving? The extremes of experiences like sex and exercise or love and grief are created by the same consciousness-altering neurochemicals responsible for the highs and lows of a cocaine binge. What about your phone, or your toddler's iPad—can we be addicted to technology? Does using these devices make us "high"? Drugs are slippery objects, difficult to define. Some make us feel good, others make us ill. Some take the form of pills, plants, or powders. Others, like the runner's high, require no physical substance at all. Much of what we think we know about drugs comes from a handful of well-used cultural narratives: drugs are either a public health menace, a social issue to be fixed, or an age-old criminal and legal problem. The rebels among us might even think of drugs as tools for creativity and artistic production. But despite the profound role drugs have played in human history and society, we rarely give any thought to what drugs actually are, and more importantly, what they do. Reframing "drugs" as a wide variety of human experiences within a spectrum of altered consciousness, On Drugs weaves together cultural history, science, politics, personal anecdotes, and current events to ask why our frameworks for understanding drugs are so limited and how expanding them can transform our society's response to substance use.

Allsop, Nigel Uncivilisation
A Personal Lament for the Country I Loved
  • Troubador Publishing, 2026
  • Softcover
  • ISBN/EAN: 9781806346936
  • Englisch
Uncivilisation is the story of a lifetime, not an autobiography, a social commentary or a diary but a blend of all three. It tells of an ordinary life, bookended by a modest upbringing as an only child in industrial Sheffield and contented retirement with three grandchildren in rural Oxfordshire. Along the way, it takes a critical look at the deterioration in our behaviours over 70 years, taking examples from the author's personal life and from the wider world in the event-rich ten years it has taken to complete the work. The style is somewhat unique, sometimes tongue-in-cheek and sometimes vitriolic, but always thoughtful, self-effacing and easy-to-read. The chapters are organised both chronologically and by subject matter, ending with some conclusions, a possible way forward and a postscript which brings the content right up to date. Uncivilisation is written in part for disillusioned British people, in part as an expression of intense frustration with the state of our country and, in no less a part, for the author's grandchildren so they will remember the grandad that loved them so dearly.

Caswell, Glenys Negotiating a New World
Autonomy of solo-living older adults
  • Troubador Publishing, 2027
  • Softcover
  • ISBN/EAN: 9781806348534
  • Englisch
In the UK, people are living longer and increasing numbers are living alone. Negotiating a New World offers a fresh perspective on how solo-living older people view their possible futures. It is based on research carried out by an experienced sociologist and written for a non-specialist audience. The book draws on interviews with 50 older people from across the United Kingdom. This book examines what older people, who live alone, think about their futures and the possibility of needing care. It asks what autonomy means to them and explores the relationships they have with others, both within and outside their families. The book also explores the ways in which solo-living older people remain active and contribute to their local communities. The text pays particular attention to how ageism and attitudes to risk impact the control that older adults have over their future lives. Ageism can be found in everyday life, in interactions with public agencies and in personal relationships. Risk is an inevitable aspect of life and something older people may be under pressure to avoid. However, attitude to risk is intensely personal, with perspectives changing across the life course.

  • ISBN/EAN: 9781529255515
  • Englisch
  • Global Migration and Social Change
As migration studies are increasingly challenged to confront the inequalities embedded in knowledge production, feminist, intersectional and post/decolonial perspectives offer new ways of researching and teaching migration. Bringing together contributors from sociology, political science, geography and anthropology, this interdisciplinary volume explores how these approaches can be combined to develop more critical and emancipatory scholarship. Combining theoretical debate with methodological reflection and empirical case studies, the book examines the coloniality of migration and asylum regimes, researchers' positionalities and critical pedagogies for teaching migration. It offers emancipatory perspectives on how migration can be studied, taught and understood, making it an essential resource for students and researchers across the social sciences.

How mental health and illness have transformed from medical concepts into widely shared cultural ideas

Discussions about mental health are ubiquitous, and individuals' "challenges," "struggles," and "crises" are frequent fodder for media coverage and online content. Mental illness, however, is strikingly absent from these conversations. Why are we comfortable talking about mental health but not about mental illness? In Our Mental Health, Their Mental Illness, Amy Johnson argues that as these two terms became widely shared cultural ideas, their meanings diverged.

Real Pedrosa De Sousa, Ricardo International Intervention and Civil Wars
Conflict Intensity in Africa since the Cold War
  • Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2027
  • Hardcover
  • ISBN/EAN: 9781138122789
  • Englisch
  • Routledge Studies in Civil Wars and Intra-State Conflict
This book examines the effects of external interventions on conflict escalation in civil wars, using data from African conflicts since the cold war. It investigates how the targets and types of external interventions affect the capabilities of the conflict parties, which lead to specific escalatory or de-escalatory effects on conflict intensity. A main contribution of this book is to test a theory of external interventions through mixed methods. It presents and uses a new dataset on external interventions with 42 conflicts that occurred in 30 countries in Africa between 1989 and 2010 and then tests the theory with four case studies and an econometric analysis. The work fills a gap in the literature by focusing on the effect of interventions on civil war intensity. There are only a few studies looking into the severity of conflict but their studies look at total conflict intensity and not escalatory or de-escalatory processes and do not focus on the specific effect of external interventions. Another contribution of this book is that it extends the operationalization of conflict to very low levels of conflict, to include civil war and low intensity levels starting the conflict period from the first battle death of these conflicts. This extension is relevant to better understand escalation on the onset and recurrence of conflict. The book is also the first to look holistically at external interventions, by considering military, economic and diplomatic interventions alongside UN and non-UN missions. This approach is closer to the realities of conflict where several types of interventions occur concurrently. This book will be of interest to student of civil wars and intra-state conflict, civil wars, peace studies, security studies and IR.

Routledge Handbook of the Environment in South Asia
  • Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2029
  • Hardcover
  • ISBN/EAN: 9781138903432
  • Englisch
There is major environmental, resource use, and related development challenges in South Asia, which have profound implications for health and well-being within the region, as well as for global environmental change and sustainability. At the same time, given its significance and growing share of the world's population and consumption, South Asia will crucially need to be an important part of the solution of sustainable well-being in the decades to come. The Routledge Handbook of the Environment in South Asia provides a comprehensive study of these issues. After a detailed introduction ties together the key insights and debates discussed, the Handbook is split into three sections: - Current and Emerging Environmental Challenges - Cross-cutting Themes - The Way Forward - Strategies, Barriers and Solutions Section one looks at topics such as food security, biodiversity and forestry, industrial pollution and coastal environments. The second section highlights how poverty, trade and gender cross-cut environmental themes, and also includes chapters on media representations of environmental issues, environmental policy-making and the role of NGOS and the courts. Section three focuses on the way forward, and contains chapters on water conservation, organic agriculture, solar and wind energy development, and eco-tourism.Written by a team of international contributors, the Handbook is a timely contribution to better understanding the scope and range of South Asia's environmental challenges, potential resolutions and how these issues fit into the larger, global context. It is a cutting-edge and up-to-date resource for students, scholars and policy-makers of Environmental Studies, Sustainability and South Asian Studies.

Law, Media Theory and Cultural Techniques
  • Edinburgh University Press, 2027
  • Hardcover
  • ISBN/EAN: 9781399556071
  • Englisch
With German media theory as its focus, this book situates the work of Friedrich A. Kittler, Wolfgang Ernst, Bernhard Siegert, Markus Krajewski, Sybille Krämer and Geoffrey Winthrop-Young within contemporary legal scholarship. Media theory, and German media theory in particular, has been somewhat neglected in interdisciplinary legal studies. This is surprising given that Cornelia Vismann, a key figure in contemporary legal theory, was also a prominent media theorist. Her influence can be seen in legal scholarship addressing issues such as posthuman law, legal materiality, law and the arts, and law in the Anthropocene.<BR>This book provides an informed starting point for developing new approaches to legal scholarship with media theory as its springboard. Bringing together an international range of scholars from across legal studies, media theory, the humanities and the social sciences, the book uses media theory to present historical as well as contemporary analyses of law's cultural technologies.<BR>It covers the historical materiality of legal practices; how legal spaces, bodily presence and performance shape legal experiences; and the transformation of law through automation and technology.

Drawing upon the model of consciousness and the interpretation of dreams -- enriched with examples from his clinical practice -- Frankl succeeds in persuading the reader, through empirical means, that a religiosity underlies the human being, one that implies "the ignored presence of God." Viktor E. Frankl -- known worldwide for his work Man's Search for Meaning and as the founder of Logotherapy (also referred to as the Third Viennese School of Psychotherapy) -- demonstrates in this book that man is not merely dominated by unconscious drives, as Freud contends, but that there also exists within him an unconscious spirituality.

About the AuthorYourBroZo, aka Mus Zoser Ankh Hat (Joseph Samson-Re), is an author, musician, producer, entrepreneur, husband, father, and lifelong student of history, spirituality, culture, and human consciousness.His journey has never been confined to a classroom. Through decades of personal study, travel, music, martial arts, meditation, spiritual exploration, and conversations with people from many different walks of life, he developed an enduring desire to understand the forces that shape our identities, beliefs, cultures, and understanding of the past.Born in Virginia and having called the Atlanta area home for more than two decades, YourBroZo has experienced firsthand the cultural influence and complexity of Black life in America. As an artist, podcaster, and co-founder of Abduction9 Productions, he has used music and conversation as vehicles for exploring creativity, identity, freedom, culture, and self-expression.His personal search for deeper understanding eventually expanded beyond conventional history into ancient civilizations, spirituality, nature, consciousness, cultural memory, and humanity's relationship with the world around us. Rather than accepting ideas simply because they are widely repeated, he believes in questioning, researching, comparing perspectives, and allowing people to think for themselves.Follow the PolkadotRabbit: A Journey Through History, Spirituality, Consciousness, and the Search for Truth grew from that lifelong curiosity and search for understanding.The book does not ask readers to simply replace one belief system with another. Instead, YourBroZo, aka Mus Zoser Ankh Hat (Joseph Samson-Re), invites readers to follow the clues, challenge assumptions, ask difficult questions, and continue their own search for truth.Because sometimes the most important step toward discovering the truth is simply being willing to question what you thought you already knew.

Volume 3 taught you how to navigate a room full of people. This volume is about the building: who designed it, who profits from the floor plan, and why the fire exits are so hard to find.The Map is the fourth volume of The Humanual, and it makes visible the systems every human lives inside without having chosen them. It explains how tribal instincts get reverse-engineered into political weapons, how power actually operates (and what it does to the brains of people who hold it), what institutions are for and how they get captured, how money works (it is a shared story backed by trust) and how inequality gets manufactured, how the global order came to be shaped the way it is, how the information landscape became a hall of mirrors, what the machine in your pocket is collecting and why, what artificial intelligence is and is not, and how health systems, education systems, and the living planet itself are shaped by every other chapter in the book.It ends with the citizen: given all of this, what can one person actually do? The honest answer turns out to be more than you would think and less than the guilt would suggest.Sharp without cynicism and critical without despair, The Map is for anyone who has looked around at the world and asked: wait, we built this? On purpose? Yes. Here is the blueprint.

Couldry, Nick Predatory AI
How We Can Resist Corporate Capture of the Human Mind
  • Polity Press, 2026
  • Softcover
  • ISBN/EAN: 9781509554706
  • Englisch
We are told that AI is inevitable, a revolutionary next stage in planetary intelligence. The calculative power that Big Tech is harnessing via its AI products cannot be doubted. But what if humanity is entering into the wrong social contract with AI?

A good future for humanity cannot mean inputting our lives into predatory AI models whose terms we don't control. It cannot mean trading away our own cognitive resources - and the power to define the future direction of the human mind - to corporations. It cannot mean ever greater cognitive dependence on business products, while ignoring the implications for environmental sustainability.

A good future with AI must mean putting social, community and planetary values first. This book imagines a different social contract with AI, and a different future. It presents clearly the social damage currently being done at work, and particularly the education and creative sectors, by accepting the wrong social contract with AI. And it debunks the philosophical prejudices that block us from valuing our own human cognitive resources.

In this second book of his trilogy, Humanising the Future, Nick Couldry argues that the time to renegotiate our contract with AI is now. This book opens a path to doing so.

  • Polity Press, 2026
  • Hardcover
  • ISBN/EAN: 9781509570959
  • Englisch
As climate change continues to erode humanity's future, feminist theory must seriously engage with ecological problems and think through its relationship to environmentalism if it is to be recognized as a relevant political force shaping our future in a meaningful way. Conversely, environmentalism needs feminism. Understanding environmental problems requires comprehending their gendered and intersectional dimensions and effects. Environmental protection cannot take place at the cost of worsening gender subordination and other forms of oppression, such as racism, economic exploitation, and speciesism, but must be tied to an acute understanding of the current and historical connections between environmental destruction and different forms of oppression.

This concise introduction to a rapidly evolving political movement explains its key concepts, historical development, and the tools it offers to address global environmental challenges. In it, Johanna Oksala and Sanna Karhu demonstrate that developing critical and practical approaches to living with environmental catastrophe must be integrally connected to an understanding of the gendered dimensions of the crisis. They also argue that a radical re-evaluation and recuperation of ecofeminism in the light of its enrichment by queer theory, critical race theory, decolonial feminism, climate justice, intersectional feminism, and critical animal studies is vital today. Correcting simplifications and misrepresentations, Oksala and Karhu critically reassess ecofeminist theorizing and place emphasis squarely on the future and potential of ecofeminism.

Avatars are everywhere - from virtual environments and social media filters to AI companions and deepfakes.

In Avatars, media psychologist Rabindra Ratan draws from two decades of pioneering research to explain how avatars shape the way we think, feel, and connect in an increasingly mediated world. Through accessible theory and compelling examples, Ratan defines what avatars are across digital and physical forms, explores how people relate to them as extensions and partners of the self, and reveals how avatars influence human behavior - often in ways we do not consciously recognize. Moving from the psychology of identification and customization to the power of avatars for persuasion and influence, this book charts the past, present, and emerging future of human-avatar relationships.

Combining rigorous analysis with personal insight from a career at the forefront of avatar research, this book offers a clear and engaging framework for understanding how our virtual selves are transforming not just media, but what it means to be human. Avatars is essential reading for students and researchers in Media, Communication, STS, Game Studies, Applied Psychology, Sociology, Cultural Studies, and Human-Computer Interaction.

Vitantonio, Carla L' ora di Cuba. L'isola che sfida l'ordine globale

  • ISBN/EAN: 9791222501543
  • Italienisch
  • Fuoriscena
Le sanzioni, le minacce, la diaspora. Una rivoluzione che dura da oltre sessant'anni e oggi vacilla più che mai. Per molti, in Occidente, Cuba è ancora una fotografia degli anni Novanta, l'ultimo riflesso di un mondo scomparso con il crollo del blocco sovietico. Ma l'isola è cambiata e continua a farlo: ci sono le giovani generazioni cresciute con internet, imprenditori locali che provano a costruire qualcosa grazie alle nuove legislazioni, le pressioni della diaspora rappresentata ai massimi livelli dal segretario di Stato Usa Marco Rubio. E c'è il peso di oltre mezzo secolo di politica statunitense, che continua a plasmare ogni aspetto della vita quotidiana. Carla Vitantonio a Cuba ha vissuto e lavorato per anni, e lì si trovava anche mentre precipitava la crisi attuale che analizza in queste pagine. Le cifre dell'esodo della popolazione, l'architettura giuridica dell'embargo, i numeri del collasso energetico, la nascita di un settore privato che accanto allo Stato sta ridisegnando i confini sociali di un Paese che si era pensato senza classi: tutto viene esaminato per quello che è, non per quello che converrebbe che fosse a chi difende la Rivoluzione o a chi la vorrebbe abbattere una volta per tutte. Perché prima di prendere posizione su Cuba bisognerebbe liberarla dei significati simbolici che le abbiamo appiccicato addosso per generazioni. Solo allora si vedrà che cosa l'isola rischia di perdere, e che cosa potrebbe ancora diventare.

Castellucci, Matteo Britpop. Da Farage all'ex principe Andrea, da Brexit a Burnham, la politica e la monarchia negli anni più turbolenti

  • Italienisch
  • Paesi Edizioni
Brexit è stata vista come un incidente della storia, e non lo era. Tutto quello che è venuto dopo può farla rimpicciolire come cesura, ma dieci anni sono un intervallo di tempo sufficientemente lungo per analizzarla e misurarne le prime conseguenze sulla società e la politica britanniche, e sulla monarchia che le personifica o imbalsama. Per raccontare com'è cambiato il Regno Unito, e anche noi che lo osserviamo, e coglierne la traiettoria dei prossimi anni, tra sfide economiche, sociali e geopolitiche. Un saggio sul Regno Unito come grande solista europeo: brillante, rumoroso, a tratti geniale, spesso convinto che il palco sia suo anche quando la band ha già cambiato scaletta. Tra mito imperiale, pop culture, pragmatismo politico e nostalgia in giacca tweed, il libro racconta le personalità debordanti che hanno costruito l'identità britannica contemporanea, s'interroga sull'influenza e il ruolo che la corona mantiene sulla società, e il suo rapporto complicato con l'Unione Europea. Con tono ironico e tagliente, Britpop indaga il fascino persistente dell'Inghilterra e la sua eterna tentazione di sentirsi 'dentro la storia' ma fuori dalle regole del condominio europeo.

Lee, Howard Governmentality and Journalism in Singapore
Disciplining Narratives
  • Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2026
  • Hardcover
  • ISBN/EAN: 9781041104629
  • Englisch
Governmentality and Journalism in Singapore: Disciplining Narratives challenges conventional narratives of regulatory coercion and control by examining the discourses that sustain media governance in Singapore.<BR><BR>By framing media governance through a Foucauldian lens of governmentality, the book offers a more nuanced understanding of how the state secures compliance through legitimisation, rather than coercion alone. Using genealogical reflection, the book traces the brief history of media regulatory practices, focusing on events and public narratives that shape social norms and public expectations about journalism. Detailed discourse analysis of two regulatory case studies - the Protection from Online Falsehoods and Manipulation Act and the restructuring of a major newspaper conglomerate - explores how regulatory tools act as powerful mechanisms of legitimisation. While laws and policies exert control, they are rarely enforced without an extensive effort to justify their necessity, often through the very media organisations they regulate. The government actively engages in public debates, countering criticism and reinforcing its vision of a 'socially responsible media'. Through an analysis of media narratives, the book reveals how power is negotiated, legitimised, and internalised within the journalistic field. This approach not only demystifies media regulation in Singapore but also highlights the significance of discourse as a tool of governance. Methodologically, the book deploys NVivo, a qualitative analysis software, to enable a genealogical study and critical discourse analyses of media texts and political rhetoric. Theoretically, it reinterprets Foucault's concepts of docile bodies and governmentality in the context of media regulation, presenting a model for understanding the intimate but seldom explicated relationship between state power, discipline, and governance in mediated societies.<BR><BR>Academically, Disciplining Narratives contributes to postgraduate media and communication studies, extending existing analyses of media governance in Singapore beyond frameworks of authoritarian control and industry manipulation. The book is an essential resource for scholars of media policy, societal governance and political communication, offering an extrapolation to other illiberal democracies.

Pedagogy and the Struggle for Democracy
Henry A. Giroux on Neoliberal Fascism and Cultural Politics
  • Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2027
  • Hardcover
  • ISBN/EAN: 9781041129851
  • Englisch
  • Critical Interventions
Pedagogy and the Struggle for Democracy brings together a selection of Henry Giroux's most incisive essays, analysing neoliberal fascism, public pedagogy, cultural politics, empire, and the politics of disposability, offering both a powerful critique of authoritarianism and a compelling vision of democratic resistance.One of the leading theorists of critical pedagogy and cultural politics, Giroux argues that authoritarianism is rooted not only in political institutions but also in culture, where power operates through education, media, language, historical memory, and the production of common sense to shape consciousness and identity. Developing the concept of neoliberal fascism, he demonstrates how market fundamentalism, authoritarian governance, and cultural power have fused into a new historical formation. Against this politics of domination, Giroux advances critical pedagogy as an essential moral and political practice for cultivating critical thought, collective agency, and the democratic capacities necessary to challenge authoritarianism and transform society.Essential reading for students and scholars of authoritarianism, fascism, neoliberalism, critical pedagogy, contemporary politics, education, cultural studies, political theory, and democracy, this book offers both an indispensable introduction to Giroux's thought and a timely resource for understanding, and resisting, the contemporary authoritarian turn.

An Introduction
  • Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2027
  • Hardcover
  • ISBN/EAN: 9781041406471
  • Englisch
  • 2. Auflage
Now in a fully revised and updated new edition, Sport, Exercise and Social Theory is a concise and engaging introduction to the key theories that underpin the study of sport, exercise, and physical activity in society.Structured around C. Wright Mills's concept of the sociological imagination, the capacity to connect personal troubles to public issues and individual biographies to broader social structures, the book shows how theory can be used to debunk many of our traditional assumptions about sport and exercise, and how sport and physical activity can be a powerful window through which to observe and understand wider society. Designed to be used by students who have never studied sociology before, the book provides training in critical thinking and helps students develop intellectual skills that will serve them throughout their professional and personal lives. This new edition includes significantly expanded coverage of feminism and theories related to gender, including new material on the Manosphere, intersectionality, and the trans athletes debate, as well as completely new chapters on nationalism, decolonial perspectives, and ableism and disability. Every chapter includes updated cases and examples, from sportswashing and athlete activism to digital fan cultures, artificial intelligence, and the controversies around sporting mega-events, drawing throughout on the author's own internationally recognised research. Useful pedagogical features include 'Stop and Think' boxes, biographical notes on key theorists, and chapter summaries.This book is an essential companion to any course on sport and society, the sociology of sport, or the contemporary uses of social theory.Additional resources for instructors accompany this book, including classroom discussion topics and exercises, plus exam questions.

Ripple Effects
The Work That Music Festivals Do in the World
  • Temple University Press,U.S., 2027

  • ISBN/EAN: 9781439928325
  • Englisch
  • Insubordinate Spaces
What is the work that music festivals do in the world? In asking this question, Ripple Effects explores the varied ways in which festivals can act as spaces where new social relations are cultivated, as places for envisioning and enacting repertories of embodied memory and care, as alternatives to fragmented private consumption of culture, as sites for unexpected conversations.While some case studies discuss structures of dominance inside mammoth corporate-sponsored festivals, other chapters find insubordinate spaces in independent, artist-run festivals designed to honor traditional folk musics, to protest the proliferation of nuclear weapons, to deploy cultural exchanges in defiance of Cold War politics, to build pan-African unity, and to embrace the links between humans and the more-than-human world.Ripple Effects brings together leading and emerging scholars, artists, and arts presenters to consider the challenges, rewards, and responsibilities associated with the improvisational culture and ethos of music festivals as alternative public spheres.Contributors: Amina Boubia, Jody H.

The Role of Land and Natural Resources in Conflict and Peacemaking
For War or Peace
  • Anthem Press, 2027
  • Hardcover
  • ISBN/EAN: 9781839993237
  • Englisch
Aiming to contribute to the literature of what works to make peace, this volume examines the roles of land, water and mineral resources in conflict and peacemaking. The analysis focuses on six cases of prolonged, ethno-national, asymmetric conflict and six cases of special interest.The data show that land, water and mineral resources have consistently been either a cause of war, a source of funding for war or a weapon of war. Yet, the goal of using natural resources in security, free from armed conflict or kidnappings, has been a reason for local or international communities to incentivise and/or facilitate peacemaking processes.Nine of the cases ended in a negotiated, written peace accord which lasted more than 5 years. While some of the conflict areas saw a resurgence of armed conflict, other cases are exemplars of lasting peace agreements. The analysis shows what was successfully addressed in peace accords, as related to land and natural resources; what was addressed in aspirational terms that were never fully implemented; and what decisions were left to political processes that were agreed to, ending extensive armed conflict.

Ladies and gentlemen, step right up...On 23 March, 1844, General Tom Thumb, at 25 inches tall, entered the Picture Gallery at Buckingham Palace and bowed to Queen Victoria. On both sides of the Atlantic, this event marked a tipping point in the nineteenth century: the age of the 'Freak' was born.<BR><BR>Bewitching all levels of society, the 'Freak Show' was a world of astonishing spectacle and entertainment.

The book explores the virtues of the 'Freak' circuit, as well as the ongoing effects of power, fame, exploitation, and our fascination with otherness.<BR><BR>Sometimes tragic, sometimes triumphant, and always extraordinary, The Wonders is the true story of the performers whose talents and disabilities helped define an era.<BR>

The Mexican Feminist Movement
Mexican Men's Perspectives and Praxis
  • University of Wales Press, 2027
  • Hardcover
  • ISBN/EAN: 9781837724550
  • Englisch
  • The Mexican Feminist Movement
Refutes contemporary stereotypes about Mexico by sharing first-hand experiences from men who support the feminist movement in their country.The Mexican Feminist Movement responds to the Trumpian generalization that branded Mexican men as rapists, drug dealers, killers, and "bad hombres." Contrary to what Trump has expressed, many Mexican men are deeply concerned about the number of femicides in their country, and they express that concern in varied ways--they debate the issue with family and friends, participate in rallies in support of women's rights, and some have seen their own daughters, sisters, and partners suffer violence and daily harassment. This book offers Mexican men a space to share their lived experiences and everyday praxis in support of ending the violence that Mexican women face in society; it highlights these men's challenges to misogyny, their stand in solidarity with women, and their work toward building more just and equitable relationships at home, at work, and in the public sphere.

William Cooper, the Rise of Conspiracy, and the Fall of Trust in America
  • Penguin Putnam Inc, 2031
  • Softcover
  • ISBN/EAN: 9780399185731
  • Englisch
We are living in a time of unprecedented distrust in America . . . <BR><BR>Faith in the government is at an all-time low, and political groups on both sides of the aisle are able to tout preposterous conspiracy theories as gospel, without much opposition. “Fake news” is the order of the day. This book is about a man to whom all of it points, the greatest conspiracist of this generation and a man you may not have heard of.<BR><BR> A former U.S. naval intelligence worker, Milton William Cooper published his manifesto Behold a Pale Horse in 1991. Since then it has gone on to sell hundreds of thousands of copies, becoming the number-one bestseller in the American prison system. According to Behold a Pale Horse, JFK was assassinated—because he was about to reveal that extraterrestrials were poised to take over the Earth—by his driver, an alien himself; AIDS is a government conspiracy to decrease the population of blacks, Hispanics, and homosexuals; and the Illuminati are secretly involved with the U.S. government to manage relationships with extraterrestrials. Cooper died in a shootout with Apache County police in 2001, one month after September 11, in the year in which he had predicted catastrophe.<BR><BR> In Pale Horse Rider, journalist Mark Jacobson not only tells the story of Cooper’s fascinating life but also provides the social and political context for American paranoia. Indeed, with the present NSA situation and countless other shadowy government dealings often in the news, aren’t we right to suspect that things may not be as they seem?

Reyes, Rene Originalism Is Racism
Confronting, Dismantling, and Overcoming the Legacy of America's Founding Enslavers
  • University of California Press, 2027
  • Hardcover
  • ISBN/EAN: 9780520421004
  • Englisch
  • Critical Race Theory
Originalism Is Racism interrogates America's unhealthy obsession with its founding generation by challenging the ascendancy of originalism as the preferred method of constitutional interpretation--both among the justices of the Supreme Court and for significant portions of the American public. The book argues that interpreting the Constitution in accordance with the original intentions or understandings of the founding generation necessarily enshrines and exacerbates racial inequality. For one, originalism perpetuates white supremacy by rejecting the equal human dignity of Black people and other racialized groups and denying them the opportunity to participate in public life on equal terms. It also undermines the abolition of racial oppression by subjecting Black, Brown, and Indigenous people to increased risks of violence and death. In a word, originalism is racism.
