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.

  • Film - Medium - Diskurs 122
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.

  • Walter de Gruyter, 2026
  • Hardcover
  • ISBN/EAN: 9783112246177
  • Deutsch
  • Undisziplinierte Bücher 17
Erotik, so die These des Buches, ist ein eigenständiges Phänomen, das sich nicht in den Begriffen "Liebe" und "Sexualität" erschöpft. In einer Art Heuristik werden die relativ beständigen Strukturmomente dieses diffusen Phänomens der Erotik in den Blick genommen. Die essayistische Spurenlese wird von metaphilosophischen Reflexionen begleitet, die sich aus der Spiegelung von Erotik, Kultur und Philosophie ergeben.In Anlehnung an Adornos Methode des Konstellierens und mit Georg Simmels Gedanken zur Koketterie als Leitmotiv werden verschiedene Denker*innen unterschiedlicher Disziplinen und Fachrichtungen miteinander ins Gespräch gebracht. In neun Essays, deren Gesamtheit ebenfalls als Konstellierung zu verstehen ist, zeigt sich die Erotik in ihrer Ambiguität als Spannungsverhältnis zwischen Polaritäten. Das Buch ist eine Bejahung der Vielfalt philosophischer Formen und menschlicher Ausdrucksmöglichkeiten und ein Plädoyer für eine erotische, ambiguitätstolerante Haltung der Wirklichkeit gegenüber.

  • Hardcover
  • ISBN/EAN: 9783958082588
  • 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.

  • Deutsch

Die Studie untersucht, wie die Umbrüche von 1989 ästhetisch reflektiert werden. Ausgehend von künstlerischen Praktiken - nicht von historischen Ereignissen - werden unterschiedliche Verfahren analysiert, mit denen Prozesse politischer und gesellschaftlicher Transformation sichtbar werden. Den Ausgangspunkt bilden vor allem rumänische, postjugoslawische und ungarische Arbeiten innerhalb der Gegenwartskunst. Die Denkfigur des "Intervalls" liefert ein aufschlussreiches Instrument zur Neubestimmung politischer, historiographischer und epistemologischer Umbrüche nach 1989, die sich auch innerhalb der kunst- und filmwissenschaftlichen Theoriegeschichte vollzogen haben.

Milan, Betty Lacan's Parrot
A Psychoanalytic Novel
  • Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2026
  • Softcover
  • ISBN/EAN: 9781041248170
  • Englisch
Lacan's Parrot is a remarkable auto-fiction novel that reconstructs the relationship between the author, Betty Milan, and the renowned psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan, offering unprecedented insight into the psychoanalytic process from a patient's perspective. Set against the backdrop of cultural contrasts between Paris and Brazil, the narrative explores themes of immigration, identity formation, and the complexities of psychoanalytical therapy. Milan's narrative skilfully blends multiple modalities - Bildungsroman, historical panorama, and satire -while providing a poignant examination of the Lebanese diaspora in Brazil. Through the protagonist Seriema's journey, readers witness the unfolding of an analytical cure in all its complexity, complete with dreams, hallucinations, and profound realizations about identity and heritage. The book includes an introduction in which Milan describes her motivations for writing the book, and the commonalities between psychoanalysis and writing, and an afterword by Michèle Sarde which provides an interpretive overview and literary analysis. This unique work offers valuable insight for scholars, psychoanalytic practitioners, and general readers alike.

Conversations on Digital Humanities
Contentions and Contingencies in the Indian Context
  • Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2026
  • Softcover
  • ISBN/EAN: 9781041384724
  • Englisch
This book brings together the essential debates concerning the emergent area of Digital Humanities in India. Through the interviews, the book attempts to identify the differences and convergences between DH practice in and that of Global North. The book can be seen as a compendium for exploring multifarious layers of the 'digital' and its relationship with humanities, academia and beyond which have bestowed DH (in India) with many complications and contentions. Conversations on the Digital Humanities depicts the chequered and amorphous nature of DH practice in India - as an academic discipline, as a methodology, as community projects and as an appendage to existing discipline of literary studies, towards charting the features of DH as an emerging discourse. For example, for some scholars DH is understood as a 'method', while others consider it to be a discipline; similarly, while some scholars agree DH in India as a derivative of DH in the Global South, others consider DH as in India as different from DH in the Global North. This book brings together these different, yet diverse and distinct notions in form of conversations, not to provide a uniform understanding of DH, but a comprehensive view of the paradigm of what can be tentatively understood as 'Indian DH'. As editors, we ensure that this book captures the pluralities around the concerns of DH, that are determined not by us, but by scholars and practitioners who have been steering the area of DH.This volume will be of interest to those making their initial entry into the area of DH; particularly, students of literary studies, cultural studies, media and communication studies. The volume brings together diverse voices concerning not only Digital Humanities practice but also practices concerning the broader discourse of the digital and digitality; alongside, the volume will allow readers to engage with the evolving landscape of Digital Humanities with respect to the Indian context.

  • The Psychology of Everything
What is gender? How much is rooted in biology, and how much is learned? How does gender shape our identities, relationships, health, opportunities, and sense of belonging?The revised edition of The Psychology of Gender explores one of the most complex and contested subjects of our time. Drawing on psychology, biology, history, and the wider social sciences, it examines how gender is learned, lived, negotiated, and understood. From sex differences and gender stereotypes to health, wellbeing, and identity, the book explores the stories we inherit about masculinity and femininity and how they shape everyday life. More than this, it uses gender as a case study to explore the human urge to divide the world into 'us' and 'them'.Accessible, thought-provoking, and rich in storytelling, The Psychology of Gender challenges us to think beyond stereotypes, tolerate ambiguity, embrace curiosity, and see gender as a shared human project rather than a tribal battleground.

Kromidas, Maria Mothering for Capital
Labor, Race, and Child "Value" in Neoliberalism
  • Vanderbilt University Press, 2026
  • Softcover
  • ISBN/EAN: 9780826500564
  • Englisch
Mothering for Capital offers a bold new interpretation about the crisis of motherhood in neoliberalism. It documents how the drive of capital stealthily subsumes mothering, tethering women's work, care, and socialization of children, as well as their wishes, fears, and understandings of themselves as mothers, to the imperatives of value accumulation. Through the framework of "good" parenting that maximizes the odds of a child's "success" in a precarious future, capital orients mothers to cultivate a set of specific cognitive, social, emotional, and psychological traits that shape children as future labor power, the ideal manageable yet self-managed subject. The child is the site of capital's most audacious aspirations--to flatten and empty human life of all that is superfluous or dangerous to capital. What is ultimately at stake, Kromidas argues, is the subordination or emancipation of the human subject, and Mothering for Capital tracks this hidden terrain of struggle.

  • 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?

Oksala, Johanna; Karhu, Sanna What is Ecofeminism?
  • 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.

  • The Basics
Ecofeminism: The Basics introduces the ecofeminist approaches to understanding how humans interact with, dominate and are embedded within the natural environment, of which we are a part.Tracing ecofeminism from Françoise d'Eaubonne's coining of the term in Feminism or Death through to the mid-2020s, the book examines its theoretical debates, activist practices and creative expressions, including its near collapse at the turn of the twenty-first century and subsequent renewal. The book explores: - ecofeminism's relationship to colonialism, capitalism, patriarchy, racism, and speciesism, and other forms of oppression; - ecofeminism as both theory and lived activism; - emerging perspectives on gender, disability and polycrisis. Written in an accessible style, this book is essential reading for students of gender studies, environmental studies, social sciences and the humanities, as well as activists and campaigners.

In How the Regime Rules, New York Times bestselling author Christopher Rufo delivers a bold, unflinching examination of how America’s founding spirit was transformed—and, in his telling, betrayed—by the rise of modern bureaucratic power.In How the Regime Rules, Christopher F. Rufo—the New York Times bestselling author who nuked Critical Race Theory, gutted DEI in corporate boardrooms, put Somali fraud on the map, and toppled the president of Harvard—delivers his most explosive work yet: a manifesto for the evolving right and a scorched-earth blueprint to shatter the invisible power structure that now governs America.We all know the Regime. It’s the interlocking web of the Deep State bureaucracy, biased media, corrupted academia, and corporate middle managers that enforces conformity, doles out status to favorites, and crushes dissent. Instead of ruling by winning elections, the Regime rules through cultural capture—dictating what you are allowed to say, think, and believe. Rufo strips back the curtain on their operation, turning the Left’s own playbook against them to show how a radical minority seized the commanding heights of American life. He tracks the bureaucratic rot that traded our founding spirit for a system of managed decline, from the administrative state’s silent coup to the ideological hijacking of our elite institutions.But the time for grievance-filled exposés is past. Now is the time to build real, lasting political power.The old GOP establishment failed because it spent decades begging for a seat at the Regime’s table—only to be mocked, then discarded. The "New Right" too often gets distracted by petty revenge and backward-looking saltiness. Rufo rejects both. Instead, he offers a high-energy, forward-looking vision: building a counter-elite that is rooted in real community, culturally dominant, relentlessly entrepreneurial, and unapologetically patriotic—just like the Founding Fathers. Patriots are already building independent businesses, parallel media ecosystems, homeschool networks, and tech startups that operate entirely outside the Regime’s thumb. Rufo provides a practical counterrevolution roadmap—dismantling the power of bloated bureaucracies, purging left-wing racialism from federal agencies, restoring merit in our universities, and shifting the fight from pure culture wars to the economic realities of the working man. Build it well—make it vibrant, profitable, and bold—and the American people will follow in droves.How the Regime Rules moves us past easy wins or empty nostalgia. It equips us with the strategy, tactics, and spirit required for total national reconstruction. Drawing on his hard-won victories and a cold-blooded analysis of how power actually works, Rufo shows how a new generation can seize the initiative, recapture the American spirit, and restore self-government.

Butcher, Seb Distorted
Ultra-Processed Feeds, Splintered Worlds and How the Internet Broke Reality
  • Icon Books, 2026
  • Hardcover
  • ISBN/EAN: 9781837734054
  • Englisch
The world is hooked on ultra-processed feeds - engineered diets of outrage, falsehood and distraction that are reshaping how we think and what we believe. And like ultra-processed food, they are making us sick - eroding trust, fuelling tribalism and loosening our grip on truth.<BR><BR>Seb Butcher is a technology lawyer and former advisor to some of the world's largest companies. In Distorted, he delivers an eye-opening account of how the modern internet is distorting reality itself. Drawing on behavioural science, technology, politics and culture, Butcher reveals the forces behind this distortion - from our own biases to technology addiction, algorithms, and generative AI - and why we are splintering into increasingly separate, incompatible worlds.<BR><BR>Clear-eyed, rigorous and deeply human, Distorted is a call to reclaim reality before it's too late. As we enter a new era shaped by AI and rising socio-political tensions, Butcher urges the reader not only to confront their online habits, but to ask deeper questions about technological power and human agency. Part diagnosis, part survival guide, Distorted offers a thoughtful and practical path toward rebuilding trust, restoring human connection and finding common ground in an increasingly fractured world - while we still can.

Nnadigwe, Ernest Trauma, Masculinity and Family and Domestic Violence
Experiences and Understanding of African Men from Refugee Backgrounds in Western Australia
  • Springer, Berlin;Springer Nature Singapore, 2026
  • Hardcover
  • ISBN/EAN: 9789819218639
  • Englisch

This book provides a comprehensive, research-driven exploration of how trauma, cultural expectations of masculinity, and family and domestic violence (FDV) intersect in the lives of African men from refugee backgrounds in Western Australia. It is distinctive in its use of a mixed-methods approach, integrating both quantitative and qualitative research to capture the complexity of these men's lived experiences. Unlike most studies that focus solely on trauma or FDV within African communities, this work critically examines how pre-migration trauma, acculturation stress, and shifting masculinities contribute to FDV-a perspective that has been largely overlooked in existing literature. Additionally, the book challenges stereotypical narratives that frame refugee men solely as perpetrators of violence. Instead, it situates FDV within a broader socio-cultural and systemic framework, considering the impact of war trauma, economic stressors, mental health challenges, and support systems on men's behaviours and relationships.

How has fashion become such an important signifier of French nationhood? How has fashion journalism been used to mediate political ideologies like fascism? <BR><BR>These questions and more are answered in the first book to comprehensively explore the interactions between fashion, the media, soft power, and nationhood. With a geographically diverse range of case studies and a unique focus on fashion journalism, Fashion and Power covers the origins of the relationship between fashion, cultural power, and national identity in 'courtly' societies, through the Cold War to the identities of emerging fashion nations such as China and Nigeria. Examining figures from 'La Jeune Fille Américaine' to First Ladies, Nelson Best argues how, in Susan Kaiser's words, 'representations of nation are built on the backs of women's bodies.'<BR><BR>By exploring fashion journalism as a discourse of cultural power that shapes the identity of nations in different times and places, Fashion and Power reveals the contingency of these power relations and the possibility of their renegotiation. This accessible and highly engaging book is an invaluable resource not only for fashion studies students but also for those in media and cultural studies and anyone interested in fashion, identity, and power.

Ideology, Affect, and Play
  • Bristol University Press, 2026
  • Hardcover
  • ISBN/EAN: 9781529245424
  • Englisch
This innovative book examines how videogames engage with crime and its control. It treats games as ideological representations, in which ideas about policing, justice, and criminality are formed and reproduced. Covering over fifty videogames and blending insights from criminology, game studies, affect and social theory, the book explores how games reproduce injustice and inequality. Central to the book is the idea of the 'ludic unconscious'--the notion that in videogames the convergence of gameplay mechanics and narrative sensibilities are affectively and politically meaningful. It is an essential read for students and academics interested in the intersections of crime, ideology, and play.

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.

Race, Space, and Culture
Essays on Cultural Theory and the Built Environment

  • Englisch
  • The Callaloo African Diaspora Series
How race and space shape one another in profound and often contested ways.How does race shape the spaces we inhabit, and how do those spaces, in turn, shape our perception of race? This book addresses these questions by bringing cultural theory into dialogue with the practices of design, planning, and architecture. Edited by K. Ian Grandison and Marlon B. Ross, the essays in this collection argue that racial identity is never separate from the landscapes, infrastructures, and built environments that are so familiar that we often fail to see their ideological and economic implications.The first two chapters, authored by Grandison and Ross, frame the theory and methods of what they term "critical landscape studies" with case studies on historic preservation and gentrification, respectively. The other essays build on this approach from different interdisciplinary perspectives--investigating further how race is embedded in the processes of planning, preservation, and urban development, and how spatial practices are never neutral terrains but instead represent contested cultural records. Contributors reveal how the vertical hierarchies of race--long defined by the extremes of whiteness and Blackness--are continually negotiated across the categories of gender, sexuality, religion, and diaspora. The volume also underscores how disciplines that have too often treated space as abstract or universal must confront its racialized dimensions with greater rigor, while design professions must attend to the cultural identities, material interests, and power imbalances that shape and are shaped by the environments they create.From university campuses to gentrifying neighborhoods and from sacred landscapes to sites of ecological struggle, the essays in this collection offer a timely and provocative critical analysis of how space and race interact and inform each other. It challenges readers to see how the politics of racial formation and representation are embedded in the landscapes that surround us, and how those built environments in turn influence cultural perceptions of identity and belonging.

Aeronautics: Why Airplanes Stay in the Sky and How Flight WorksWhat Do I Already Know About This?Series "In Twelve Evenings"Book 4Vita HarwoodHow can an airplane weighing tens or even hundreds of tons stay in the sky? What really creates lift? Why can a wing stall, why does an airplane bank to turn, and what does the autopilot actually do once a route has been loaded into the computer?Aeronautics: Why Airplanes Stay in the Sky and How Flight Works invites readers to understand modern aviation in twelve evenings. The book begins with humanity's earliest attempts to fly, then builds the airplane as one connected system: atmosphere and aerodynamics, wings and flight controls, piston and jet engines, structural strength, hydraulics and electricity, navigation, weather, safety, and the future of flight.Readers discover why the familiar equal-transit-time explanation of lift is wrong, what a stall really is, how fly-by-wire, GNSS, FMS, and inertial navigation work, why an airplane can still glide after engine failure, and how engineers design for turbulence, icing, system failures, and repeated loads.No college-level math is required. Formulas appear only when they make the physics easier to see. Every lesson includes key terms, a quiz, a simple home experiment, and a Flight Log prompt. The book closes with 120 explained answers, a complete glossary, verified resources, and suggestions for what to read and watch next.If you have ever looked at an airliner and thought, "How can that possibly work?", this book is your invitation to find out.

George, Babu THE CONQUEST OF INTELLIGENCE
The Coming Emancipation of Humanity
  • Independently published, 2026
  • Softcover
  • ISBN/EAN: 9798192035221
  • Englisch
  • Independently published
The Conquest of Intelligence argues that artificial intelligence is not primarily a tool that makes clever people cleverer, but a technology that severs the link between intelligent outcomes and intelligent persons. Placing this rupture in the long sequence of emancipations by which human beings were relieved of muscular labor, memory, and calculation, the book traces what happens to a civilization whose entire institutional apparatus, from schooling and the professions to bureaucracy and hierarchy, was engineered to ration a resource that is ceasing to be scarce. It examines the economics of cognition sold as a metered utility, the widening gap between what we can do and what we can explain, the political question of who owns the systems on which the emancipation depends, and the small set of human acts that cannot be delegated without dissolving the person who delegates them. It ends where abundance forces us to begin: with the question of what is worth doing, which our institutions were designed to avoid. Written for readers in management, education, policy, technology, and the professions, as well as for anyone trying to think clearly about the decade they are living through, the book offers not a forecast but a vocabulary, and a set of practical tests for telling emancipation from dependence while the difference can still be acted upon.<BR>

In short vignettes tied to the changing seasons, fashion and sustainability pioneer Kate Fletcher, challenges the illusion that humans and garments are somehow separate to the rest of nature. Drawing out relations and responsibilities between fashion and natural systems, Fletcher invites a change in perception that can profoundly influence ways of how we think and act - including with clothes. Writings and predictions for each month entangle nature encounters with dressed bodies, upending fashion's usual tendency to disregard, devalue and extract the very natural systems it depends on. A beautifully illustrated pocket-sized book to take with you on your forays into nature.

  • ISBN/EAN: 9781041074434

  • Contemporary Liminality
This book offers an interpretation of the French Revolution and modern democracy, arguing that the revolution gave rise to a democratic power that is liminal by nature, and therefore unlimited, unaccountable on principle, and the basis for a state religion of continuous transformation. It demonstrates these claims by focusing on the universally adulated but little understood sacred motto 'liberté, egalité, fraternité', and on the sacrifice and role of Louis XVI in the revolution. Analysing the revolutionary process by which representative democratic government took the shape of political metamorphosis, the book shows that modern democracy does not represent the people but refers to the representation of representation and the existential condition of permanent displacement. The present study will appeal to scholars from across the social, political and human sciences with an interest in the French Revolution, modern democracy, political modernity, contemporary politics and the history of art.

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.

Pathways to Teaching Sustainable Finance
Reconsidering Finance Education
  • Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2026
  • Hardcover
  • ISBN/EAN: 9781032843087
  • Englisch
  • Research and Teaching in Environmental Studies
This book showcases the experiences and perspectives of instructors and researchers who are pioneering sustainable finance research and education.Sustainable finance broadly defined refers to the integration of sustainability issues within financial practices. Given the urgency of funding sustainable development, meeting new regulatory agendas, and navigating the increasing politicization of sustainable finance, demands for immediate sustainable finance expertise and training have grown. Yet, the pedagogical implications of increasing scholarly and practitioner interest in sustainable finance have been largely neglected. Filling this gap, Pathways to Teaching Sustainable Finance examines how curriculums can be redesigned to accommodate sustainable finance education. It discusses the specific skills, tools, and theoretical insights that constitute an emerging sustainable finance "corpus" and provides critical perspectives on the field. Each chapter engages with the different strategies, theoretical frameworks, pedagogical tools, and learning objectives informed by the authors' own teaching practice or by their research.Chapters also include cases, suggestions for assignments, and other resources that can support the design of sustainable finance courses and syllabi. Collating insights from a broad range of experts in the field, this book therefore provides theoretical and critical reflections alongside practical insights for faculty and higher education institutions, as well as market, public, and non-profit actors who have been calling for better expertise in sustainable finance.

  • Italienisch
  • DIARKOS
Gianluca Zanella, fondatore e direttore di DarkSide - Storia segreta d'Italia, scruta in questo libro dentro l'anima nera dei serial killer più celebri e sanguinari dell'ultimo secolo. Un'inchiesta, tra cronaca nera e indagine psicologica, sugli uomini e le donne che hanno lasciato un'impronta indelebile nella storia criminale per efferatezza e numero di vittime. Se gli Stati Uniti detengono il triste primato in termini di notorietà, con nomi come Jeffrey Dahmer, John Wayne Gacy, Zodiac e Edmund Kemper, non c'è nazione che non abbia dato i natali a questi veri e propri predatori umani. Anche l'Italia è stata teatro di alcuni tra i killer seriali dalle storie più torbide, dal Mostro di Firenze a Donato Bilancia, fino al meno conosciuto ma altrettanto letale Franco Fuschi. Non solo il racconto dei misteri e delle azioni di questi assassini, ma un tentativo di comprendere gli incubi alla radice del loro impulso omicida: violenza e perversioni, superstizione e solitudine, istinti tormentati e oscuri cresciuti in contesti familiari e sociali più vicini e comuni di quanto crediamo. Un libro che non vuole celebrare la violenza, ma comprenderla, analizzarla e contestualizzarla, per esplorare l'ombra che si cela dentro l'essere umano e guardare negli occhi i molteplici volti del male.

A Strategic Blueprint for Scalable Change
  • Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2026
  • Hardcover
  • ISBN/EAN: 9781041166764
  • Englisch
Leadership in Global Health outlines the essential leadership principles that transform promising health interventions into global movements, offering a timely and compelling blueprint for leaders seeking to drive lasting, scalable change.Grounded in decades of lessons from global health successes and failures, and illustrated through deeply analyzed, real-world case studies, the book reveals what happens when leadership meets coordinated action. These stories- from the eradication of smallpox and the large-scale delivery of malaria bed nets to the community-based innovations of Ethiopia's Health Extension Program and the lightning-fast COVID-19 vaccine rollout-show how leadership in global health is not one-size-fits-all, but rather dynamic, responsive, and deeply human. In an era where complex health challenges range from emerging pandemics to enduring inequities, the book centers the role of leadership-strategic, adaptive, and collaborative-as the critical engine for scaling health interventions, offering readers not only compelling narratives from the field, but also practical tools and reflections which give the book a forward-looking focus.Building to offer a roadmap for developing the next generation of global health leaders equipped to thrive in multi-sectoral, rapidly evolving environments, it will be essential reading for students, scholars, and practitioners across Global Health, Public Health, Leadership and Development Studies.

But what if the problem is precisely the narrowing of life to questions of personal goodness? Suspecting there might be more to her stand-off with food than matters of identity and diet, Husain embarked on an enquiry into the special role of eating in our relationship with the world.<BR><BR>Combining a personal account of modern eating-disorder treatments, from the disturbing to the sublime, with a sprawling collective history of eating in hard times, Tell Me How You Eat unearths the astonishing effect of how we feed ourselves and others, not just on who we are, but on how we perceive our own political power. In doing so, it marks a bold and inspiring confrontation with our very understanding of food.

Adelman, Richard Doubtful Knowledge
Skepticism and the Birth of Political Economy
  • Johns Hopkins University Press, 2027
  • Softcover
  • ISBN/EAN: 9781421456270
  • Englisch
A fresh interpretation of the Enlightenment that reshapes our understanding of political economy and its intellectual foundations.The origins of political economy are often told as a story of increasing certainty, rationality, and scientific progress. But what if its earliest thinkers were instead preoccupied with uncertainty? In Doubtful Knowledge, Richard Adelman offers a striking new interpretation of eighteenth-century political economy by tracing its roots to the skeptical philosophy of the European Enlightenment.Moving between Scotland and France, Adelman reveals how figures including David Hume, Adam Smith, Denis Diderot, Jean le Rond d'Alembert, François Quesnay, and the Physiocrats developed a shared understanding of the limits of human knowledge. Rather than presenting markets or societies as systems that could be fully understood or controlled, they emphasized the complexity of the social world, the fallibility of human judgment, and the need for intellectual humility. Through close readings of major philosophical and political-economic texts, Adelman demonstrates that skepticism was not peripheral to early political economy but fundamental to its emergence. Challenging long-held assumptions about the history of economics and Enlightenment thought, Doubtful Knowledge reframes debates about commerce, governance, progress, and human nature.By bringing together intellectual history, literary studies, philosophy, and the history of political economy, Adelman offers a compelling account of how eighteenth-century thinkers understood knowledge itself--and why their questions remain relevant to contemporary discussions about economics, politics, and the limits of expertise.

Leboeuf, Celine The Tyranny of Thinness
Understanding and Resisting the Pressure to Be Skinny
  • North Atlantic Books,U.S., 2026
  • Softcover
  • ISBN/EAN: 9798889844068
  • Englisch
A fearlessly feminist philosophical approach to defying diet culture, cultivating radical self-care, and rediscovering empowered embodiment<BR> <BR>Informed by personal narrative, cultural studies, and the work of luminaries from Simone de Beauvoir and Mary Wollstonecraft to Audre Lorde and Roxane Gay<BR><BR>In this timely and unflinching manifesto, Dr. Celine Leboeuf unpacks the philosophical and oppressive systems that sustain our cultural obsession with being thin—why it’s framed as something to “achieve,” how it’s predicated on exclusion, and that the goalposts are racist and misogynistic—and always moving.<BR><BR>Drawing on memoir, feminist theory, and cultural analysis, The Tyranny of Thinness is a wide-ranging and erudite treatise on how the skinny ideal shapes our earliest memories and experiences—and steals joy, agency, and self-determination from our adolescences, our social identities, our ambitions, and even our sense of moral worth.<BR><BR>- Part 1 traces the origins of fatphobia in anti-Black racism, unpacking how thinness is a carefully constructed ideal. Dr. Céline Leboeuf shows how self-objectification is instilled in young girls and diverted toward activities that enforce objectification. <BR>- Part 2 offers a path forward. Through embodied practices like intuitive eating, joyful movement, sensual awareness, community care, and the philosophical exercise of world-remaking, The Tyranny of Thinness outlines a new way of living in one's body that is compassionate, realistic, and self-empowering.<BR><BR><BR>From the resurrection of heroin chic and thinspo to the rise of #SkinnyTok and Ozempic, Dr. Leboeuf exposes how thinness becomes a political weapon—and shows how the body positivity movement has been coopted and repackaged. This book is an elevated must-read for anyone struggling with body image—and every reader searching to understand what the culture dictates about beauty and perceived worth.

Nagel, Emily van der OnlyFans
  • Polity Press, 2026
  • Hardcover
  • ISBN/EAN: 9781509567188
  • Englisch
  • Digital Media and Society
The phrase 'to start an OnlyFans' has become part of internet vernacular, indicating someone who charges fans for access to intimate content. Founded in 2016 as a content subscription platform, OnlyFans rose to prominence during the COVID-19 lockdowns. In a social media landscape where user data typically fuels personalized content, a platform with no advertising that continues to grow in users - and profit - is rare.

In the first book-length examination of its kind, Emily van der Nagel explores the phenomenon of OnlyFans and reveals how intimacy makes it such a compelling and popular platform. Adopting a sex-positive perspective, the book centres the experiences of creators and subscribers while situating OnlyFans as a paid, Not Safe For Work platform within a social media ecology that blocks sexual expression. To understand contemporary social media, van der Nagel argues the practices, cultures, and economies of OnlyFans are an essential part of the picture.

This book is a critical examination of OnlyFans for students and scholars of media and communications studies, and anyone interested in adult content on social media.

Leonard, Suzanne A Feminist Guide to Marriage
  • Goldsmith's Press, 2026
  • Softcover
  • ISBN/EAN: 9781915983534
  • Englisch
Part crash course in feminism, part social guide, part memoir, and part manifesto, A Feminist Guide to Marriage does what it says on the cover. Drawing on personal experience and a wide range of feminist thinking, it will help you to understand and do marriage differently - and better.Marriage is a commitment that involves our bodies, our minds, our money, our families, and our friends. It is tied in inextricable ways to who we think we are and how we relate to others. It has also been one of the most controversial subjects in feminist debate. Taking that history into account, A Feminist Guide to Marriage confronts something that many feminists still do not want to admit, which is that marriage must be considered and analyzed for social justice to succeed. Many well-meaning people decide to marry, and the future of all our intimate relationships--whether we marry or not--depends on appraising this thorny, contradictory institution more accurately.Written by a scholar of popular culture who has been teaching for 25 years and married to a man for 15, A Feminist Guide to Marriage shares stories from real people (including the author) about everything from dating to divorce. In it, you will learn how to live your desires ethically, what a just marriage looks like, what you should ask of yourselves, and what you should ask of your partner(s.) With chapters on sex, money, children, and monogamy, among others, this book will help you to use feminist ideals to live, think, act, and love.

Southern Attitudes in the Social Sciences
Pathways toward a Renewed Professional Ethos
  • Sage Publications Inc Ebooks, 2026
  • Hardcover
  • ISBN/EAN: 9781071987704
  • Englisch
  • Sage Studies in International Sociology
This book grows out of a collective engagement with a Southern Attitude: a commitment to recognizing and interrogating different regimes of privilege including whiteness, androcentrism, Christian-centrism and heteronormativity that categorize hegemonic Northern scientific structures. It critically explores intersecting forms of discrimination such as racism, sexism, casteism, xenophobia, or social class discriminations in the social sciences and science in general. The South is portrayed as a moral geography affected by multidimensional and entangled inequalities rather than a mere spatial realm mapped by Cartesian coordinates. A Southern Attitude, therefore, is not just another sociological theory; it is an invitation to develop a renewed ethics and praxis for individuals and institutions. Nor is it the sole scope of Southern scholars. All who believe that scholarship should help create a more equitable society, no matter where they live, are welcome.You will encounter 15 chapters written by 19 scholars, from different races, faiths and gender orientations, working from the South and the North. They discuss how a Southern Attitude has reshaped their research, writing and teaching, their intellectual trajectories and praxis.

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

Mchugo, John Parallel Roads to Ruin
Islamism, Zionism and the Struggle for Palestine
  • C Hurst & Co Publishers Ltd, 2026
  • Hardcover
  • ISBN/EAN: 9781805266679
  • Englisch
Zionism and Islamism both emerged in response to oppression and injustice, aiming to bring dignity, freedom and security to the downtrodden followers of one of the world's great religions. Yet both have since created oppression and injustice and used violence to attain their goals, fomenting bitter hatreds. These led directly to the horrifying October 7 attacks and ensuing destruction of Gaza.

John McHugo calls for a radical rethink of these two ideologies. Tracing the problematic relationship of Europe and 'the West' with Jews and Muslims, from the Middle Ages to nineteenth-century nationalism to today, he shows how the Israel-Palestine conflict stained both movements indelibly. He focuses on the personalities involved as much as their ideas-from Theodor Herzl, David Ben-Gurion, Menachem Begin and Benjamin Netanyahu to Jamal al-Din al-Afghani, Sayyid Qutb, Shaykh Ahmad Yassin and Osama bin Laden.

Only by confronting the unwelcome facts of this intertwined history can lasting peace and fundamental rights be secured-and the downward spiral towards disaster reversed.

  • Englisch
This book celebrates the long and distinguished career of one of the most prominent editorial cartoonists in the country for more than half a century beginning in the mid-1950s. Etta Hulme was the most prominent woman editorial cartoonist of her time and offered insightful commentary on Fort Worth, Texas, American, and international politics over that entire time. The book is an attempt to offer some of her finest work across all of these categories and over the span of her career. With more than 8000 cartoons in her collection, trying to understand her essence with only about 180 examples is a daunting task.<BR><BR>Hulme was a provocative artist—she addressed the enduring problems of American democracy head on. She delighted in exposing hypocrisy in public officials and spared no one from pointed criticism. Her distinctive drawings served as a lightening rod for readers of the Fort Worth Star Telegram. She embraced critiques of her often libral perspectives and celebrated her many admirers.<BR><BR>This book begins with a short biographical sketch of Hulme. It is then divided into 6 distinct chapters evaluating her political cartoons—U.S. presidents, American politics and policy, Texas governors, Texas politics and policy, Texas and Fort Worth Congressional leaders, and international politics. The depth and breadth of her work is evident in the cartoons selected and together they offer insightful looks at a half century of American politics and at Hulme’s creative take on the issues of her time.

  • Gendering the Late Medieval and Early Modern World
This book charts the broad cultural impact of the medieval and early modern female performer: how she engages with her historical origins in classical drama, works within contemporary cultural and professional networks, and sets the terms for female performance in subsequent historical periods. Moving beyond the archival evidence that establishes that medieval and early modern women and girls performed, it explores how their performances resonated across national boundaries and historical periods, revealing wide patterns of influence and inspiration. This collection of original essays brings together well-established authorities with new and emerging scholars, offering innovative and ground-breaking discussions of medieval dramatic cultures, the Shakespearean stage, professional actresses in Spain and Italy, the performance of music and dance, artistic representations of the female performer, and twentieth- and twenty-first-century adaptations. Ranging from tenth-century Germany to twenty-first-century London, the chapters in this volume offer a new set of paradigms for understanding and interpreting women and girls on stage.
