È vero che la morte è diventata tabù, che la società moderna la nega e la nasconde più di quelle premoderne, condannando all'isolamento chi sta per lasciare questo mondo? Ed è forse per questo che i medici mentono al malato, e gli nascondono le cattive notizie sulla sua salute? È vero che la medicina moderna è rivolta solo al prolungamento della vita e all'ostinazione terapeutica, mentre trascura le esigenze e le sofferenze dei malati terminali?

Qualcosa che non scegliamo e che ci precede, questo è il nostro corpo. Però lo guardiamo attraverso le lenti della nostra cultura, ne disponiamo secondo le movenze che abbiamo assorbito nella quotidianità e lo viviamo attraverso codici emotivi che abbiamo appreso già dall'infanzia. Non solo: a seconda del genere al quale apparteniamo, mostriamo le emozioni in modo distinto, assumiamo differenti controlli corporei, ci cuciamo addosso ruoli diversi.

Dos primorosos textos que compõem o audiolivro O mito da austeridade se conclui que o crescimento econômico não pode ser medido somente com valores quantitativos, senão que deve levar em consideração também desempenhos qualitativos, como o nível da inflação, do emprego, dos salários reais, da distribuição de renda, além de outros dados macroeconômicos, como endividamento e déficit público relativamente ao produto gerado.

Seit 2011 schreibt die Spiegel-Online-Kolumnistin Margarete Stokowski Essays, Kolumnen und Debattenbeiträge. Die besten und wichtigsten Texte versammelt dieses Buch, leicht überarbeitet und kommentiert. Die Autorin analysiert den Umgang mit Macht, Sex und Körpern, die #metoo-Debatte und Rechtspopulismus, sie schreibt über Feminismus, Frauenkörper und wie sie kommentiert werden, über Pornos, Gender Studies, sogenannte Political Correctness, Unisextoiletten und die Frage, warum sich Feminismus und Rassismus ausschließen.

"Ihr seid jung, euch gehört die Welt" - ein Satz, den die 24-jährige Ronja Ebeling schon oft gehört hat. Der Traumjob in den Zwanzigern, Eigenheim und Familie mit dreißig, dazwischen jede Menge Strandurlaube und Chancen zur persönlichen Entfaltung, und dann, im Alter, irgendwo im Grünen entspannt den Lebensabend verbringen. Doch die Realität? Die sieht leider anders aus. Anstatt sich auf unbefristeten Jobverträgen auszuruhen, pendelt die junge Generation von Praktikum zu Praktikum, statt Urlaub gibt es Burn-out, statt einer satten Rente den Ausblick auf Altersarmut. Und Kinder? Die kann sich heute doch eh keiner mehr leisten!

The first people who lived on the northern plains of what today is the US called themselves "Lakota", meaning "the people", a word which provides the semantic basis for Dakota. The first European people to meet the Lakota called them "Sioux", a contraction of "Nadowessioux", a now-archaic French-Canadian word meaning "snake", or enemy.

Une contribution au débat sur la laïcité en France dans laquelle l'auteur montre que ce concept, loin d'évacuer la question du sacré et de la reléguer dans le seul espace privé, peut être mieux compris qu'il ne l'a été majoritairement depuis un siècle, à travers la reconnaissance de son sens renvoyant à une spiritualité ouverte ainsi qu'au geste de la destruction des idoles.

Violente, puissante, aveugle, destructrice... Pour beaucoup, la foule est une menace incontrôlable, un danger. Mais elle peut aussi faire preuve d'intelligence collective. Dans les laboratoires, les biologistes, les physiciens, les psychologues cherchent à percer son mystère. Quelles règles dictent les mouvements de foule ? Qu'est-ce qui explique les bousculades meurtrières ? Pourquoi le comportement des piétons diffère-t-il d'un pays à l'autre ? Peut-on comparer les Hommes à des bancs de poissons ?

In this new and expanded edition of Nelson George's classic cultural study, contemporary Black culture is chronicled through essays on music, film, sports, publishing, politics, and city life, both uptown and down. Buppies enter nearly every arena of the Black urban USA: roisterous rappers and legendary hoopsters, streetwise hustlers and influential filmmakers, unsung musicians and drug dealers at work.

Examinando retórica, normas políticas, literatura popular y las teorías científicas a lo largo de 400 años, Nacny Isenberg rechaza las suposiciones sobre la sociedad libre de clases de Estados Unidos, donde la libertad y el trabajo duro te garantizan una verdadera movilidad social. Los blancos pobres miserables y sin tierra han existido desde la época del primer asentamiento colonial británico hasta los actuales "hillbillies".

From city streets to City Hall and to Midtown corporate offices, Saving Stuyvesant Town is the incredible true story of how one middle-class community defeated the largest residential real estate deal in American history.

In The Problem with Work, Kathi Weeks boldly challenges the presupposition that work, or waged labor, is inherently a social and political good. Taking up Marxist and feminist critiques, Weeks proposes a postwork society that would allow people to be productive and creative rather than relentlessly bound to the employment relation.

During the Roaring Twenties, two of the most revered and influential men in American business proposed to transform one of the country’s poorest regions into a dream technological metropolis, a shining paradise of small farms, giant factories, and sparkling laboratories. Henry Ford and Thomas Edison’s “Detroit of the South” would be 10 times the size of Manhattan, powered by renewable energy, and free of air pollution. And it would reshape American society.

What does it mean to be Muslim in India? What does it mean to look like one's religion? Does one's faith determine how one is perceived? Is there a secular ideal one is supposed to live up to? Can people of different faiths have a shared culture, a shared identity? But You Don't Look Like a Muslim is a work that every thinking Indian must hear.

In the context of slavery, science is usually associated with slaveholders’ scientific justifications of racism. But abolitionists were equally adept at using scientific ideas to discredit slaveholders. Looking beyond the science of race, The Science of Abolition shows how Black and white scientists and abolitionists drew upon a host of scientific disciplines - from chemistry, botany, and geology, to medicine and technology - to portray slaveholders as the enemies of progress.

Arbeit ist der Kern unserer modernen Gesellschaften. Das hat die Corona-Krise eindrücklich vor Augen geführt. Doch warum überlassen wir ihr einen so großen Teil unseres Lebens? Und warum arbeiten wir immer mehr, obwohl wir so viel produzieren wie noch nie? Entspricht das unserer Natur? Warum fühlen sich dann immer mehr Menschen überlastet und ausgebrannt? James Suzman legt eine andere Geschichte der Menschheit vor, die zeigt, wie die Arbeit von uns Besitz ergreifen konnte.

Exercer a cidadania plena é ter direitos civis, políticos e sociais. Este audiolivro trata do processo histórico que levou a sociedade ocidental a conquistar esses direitos, assim como dos passos que faltam para integrar os que ainda não são cidadãos plenos. A obra, só com conteúdo inédito, escrito por alguns dos principais intelectuais brasileiros, começa com a pré-história da cidadania, analisa as bases da cidadania moderna, descreve sua expansão e, em seguida, traz a questão para o Brasil.

O Marxismo Desmascarado reúne a transcrição das nove palestras ministradas, em 1952, por Ludwig von Mises na Biblioteca Pública de São Francisco. Em seu característico estilo didático e agradável, o autor refuta as ideias marxistas em seus aspectos históricos, econômicos, políticos e culturais. A crítica misesiana ressalta não apenas os problemas econômicos do marxismo, mas, também, discute outras questões correlatas a esta doutrina, como a negação do individualismo, o nacionalismo, o conflito de classes, a revolução violenta e a manipulação humana.

Encircling London like a noose, the M25 is a road to nowhere, but when Iain Sinclair sets out to walk this asphalt loop - keeping within the 'acoustic footprints' - he is determined to find out where the journey will lead him. Stumbling upon converted asylums, industrial and retail parks, ring-fenced government institutions and lost villages, Sinclair discovers a Britain of the fringes, a landscape consumed by developers. London Orbital charts this extraordinary trek and round trip of the soul, revealing the country as you've never seen it before.

In this groundbreaking book, Aldon D. Morris’ ambition is truly monumental: to help rewrite the history of sociology and to acknowledge the primacy of W. E. B. Du Bois’ work in the founding of the discipline. Calling into question the prevailing narrative of how sociology developed, Morris, a major scholar of social movements, probes the way in which the history of the discipline has traditionally given credit to Robert E. Park at the University of Chicago, who worked with the conservative Black leader Booker T. Washington to render Du Bois invisible.
