This is not a taste, nor an anti-taste, manual. This is an interrogation of the importance we place on seemingly objective ideas of taste in a culture that is saturated by imagery, and the dangerous impact this has on our identities, communities and politics. This book is dedicated to understanding the industries of taste. From the food we eat to the way we spend our free time, Olah exposes the shallow waters of 'good' and 'bad' taste and the rigid hierarchies that uphold this age-old dichotomy.

Nesse novo audiolivro, Marcos Costa, consagrado autor de História do Brasil para quem tem pressa, apresenta uma espécie de doença social que acomete o Brasil desde a chegada dos portugueses e nos impede de construir um projeto de nação.

From the perspective of Western modernity, humanity inhabits a disenchanted cosmos. Yet the vast majority of cultures throughout human history treat spirits as very real persons, members of a cosmic society who interact with humans and control their fate. In most cultures, even today, people are but a small part of an enchanted universe misconstrued by the transcendent categories of "religion" and the "supernatural." The New Science of the Enchanted Universe shows how anthropologists and other social scientists must rethink these cultures of immanence and study them by their own lights.

Mit seiner Schrift "Die Kernpunkte der sozialen Frage" aus dem Jahre 1919 reagiert Steiner auf die Krise des modernen Bewusstseins, die in den gesellschaftlichen Konflikten des frühen 20. Jahrhunderts sowie im Ersten Weltkrieg ihren destruktiven Ausdruck gefunden hat. Er schlägt einen spirituell begründeten Ansatz zur Lösung der sozialen Frage vor, der als ein dritter Weg zwischen Sozialismus und Kapitalismus verstanden werden kann.

Powerful institutions, from schools to tech and social media companies, create breeding grounds for isolation by failing to invest in relational work. This obstacle stands in the way of our fight for racial equity, economic justice, and climate resilience. In Relationality, asexuality and relationship activist David Jay brings clarity to the crisis with a fresh perspective that expands upon the fundamental idea that all entities in the universe are connected. Jay draws from a range of personal experiences, including his time spent helping tech workers and policymakers reform social media.

Уилфред Троттер (1872–1939) – талантливый английский хирург и выдающийся социолог. Развивая идеи Гюстава Лебона, изложенные в его знаменитой книге Психология народов и масс, он совершил настоящий прорыв в изучении группового поведения человека и способов управления толпой, которые в наши дни активно используют политтехнологи и маркетологи. Книга Уилфреда Троттера о "стадном инстинкте" была опубликована практически сразу после окончания Первой мировой войны.

Ґюстав Лебон — французький психолог, соціолог, антрополог та історик, публіцист, найбільше відомий як засновник соціальної психології і автор одного з перших варіантів доктрини "масового суспільства". Гюстав Ле Бон обстоював ідею расового детермінізму в розвитку цивілізації. Як фундамент соціальної еволюції він розглядав не розум, а ірраціонально-вольову, емоційну сферу психічного життя — почуття і вірування. Психологія народів присвячена питанням утворення, розвитку і згасання людських рас і ролі, яку грають в цих процесах керуючі народом ідеї і люди. Власне, саме ця робота поклала початок соціальній психології як науці.

El concepto de ignorancia necesita ser reevaluado, porque estamos atravesando un cambio revolucionario en la naturaleza del conocimiento. El desarrollo de la genética, la neurociencia y el big data ha cambiado la manera en que entendemos lo que puede conocerse sobre una persona. Los nuevos tipos de información traen aparejadas nuevas angustias, agravadas por lo difícil que resulta determinar con exactitud qué significará dicha información, quiénes tendrán acceso a ella y quiénes podrán usarla o manipularla.

"Critical Race Theory" is consuming conservative America. The mounting attacks on a once-obscure legal theory are upending public schooling, legislating censorship, driving elections, and cleaving communities. In this much-needed response, renowned scholar David Theo Goldberg cuts to the heart of the claims expressed in these attacks. He punctures the demonization of Critical Race Theory, uncovering who is orchestrating it, funding the assault, and eagerly distributing the message.

What if the Western world does not have its ultimate origins in a single cultural bloodline but rather a messy bramble of ancestors and influences? As battles over privilege, identity and prejudice rock the cultural wars, it's never been more important to understand how the concept of The West came to be. This book tells a bold, empowering new story of how the idea of the West was created, how it has been used to justify imperialism and racism, and also why it's still a powerful ideological tool to understand our world.

We live in a time where the world is facing an invisible enemy. The pandemic surges, and social relations are fraught with turmoil. Emotions are on edge, and people fear for their lives.

Ideas que asumimos sobre meritocracia, clase media, clasismo, salarios e impuestos, pero que son escandalosamente erradas. Burdas mentiras que sirven para justificar las más grandes injusticias de México.

Flight, Flight, Mimic is the first systematic study of deceptive mimicry in the context of wars. Deceptive mimicry—the manipulation of individual or group identity—includes passing off as a different individual, as a member of a group to which one does not belong, or, for a group, to "sign" its action as another group.

A Delicate Balance of Reason is an observational critique of the contemporary 'culture wars' through the eyes of someone who has experienced the full weight of their effects firsthand. Flashpoint topics such as the trans debate, academic free speech, cancel culture and 'presentism' in art and literature are all covered; elsewhere there are more gonzo-esque, snapshot takes - caught, tidied up, and delivered with algorithmic immediacy.

Mirrors is a look at the panopoly of mirrors we confront in our modern daily life - for better or worse. Ongoing self reflections are unavoidable and come in all forms from the expected to the unexpected.

Die Welt, in der wir leben, ist kompliziert und vielen Menschen fremd geworden. Immer mehr Gruppen, von denen wir früher wenig bis nichts hörten, drängen in die Öffentlichkeit, um für ihre Anliegen zu werben oder gar der Gesellschaft vorzuschreiben, was sie zu tun hat. Wie kann der Erfolg dieser sogenannten Identitätspolitik erklärt werden? Und wie sollte die Kirche darauf reagieren? Der Historiker Carl R. Trueman zeigt in diesem Buch auf verständliche Weise, welche Einflüsse unsere Kultur in die Richtung eines expressiven Individualismus bewegt haben.

Drawing on fascinating examples from diverse social contexts, Don't Take It Personally introduces a general framework to better understand the deeper connection between seemingly disparate phenomena, from racial profiling and hate crimes to "secret Santa" gifting.

"Este es el manual de la industria de las relaciones públicas. Bernays es una especie de gurú. Su gran golpe, el que le catapultó a la fama en la década de 1920, fue conseguir que las mujeres empezaran a fumar. En esa época las mujeres no fumaban y él lanzó campañas masivas para Chesterfield. Conocemos las técnicas: modelos y estrellas de cine con cigarrillos en la boca y demás. Consiguió un enorme éxito y se convirtió en una figura destacada y su libro en el auténtico manual"

In the past, one of the most cherished American values was the truth. When people dealt with dilemmas, issues, opinions, and decisions, their first question was “What is the truth in this situation?” Now people are concerned only with what they think, feel, and want. We have lost touch with the importance of truth in our lives. This reality has resulted in a society in abject turmoil and confusion.

Sinkende Wahlbeteiligung, Kirchenaustritte, fallende TV-Quoten und Zeitungs-Auflagen: Viele Menschen fühlen sich vom Angebot, das ihnen die politische und mediale Öffentlichkeit in Deutschland macht, nicht mehr angesprochen. Zugleich erhöhen Multi-Krisen und eine immer kaputtere Daseinsvorsorge – Schienenverkehr, die Schulen, die Verwaltung – den Stress der Bürgerinnen und Bürger. Jetzt wird das Erbe von vier Jahrzehnten neoliberaler Fehlsteuerung des Staates als Erosion der materiellen und mentalen Infrastrukturen erkennbar.

A thrilling and vivid work of history, Class War weaves together literature and politics to chart the making and unmaking of social class through revolutionary combat.

Este é o resumo de Vita contemplativa ou sobre a inatividade. Estamos perdendo nossa capacidade de não fazer nada. Nossa existência é completamente absorvida pela atividade e, portanto, totalmente explorada. Como só percebemos a vida em termos de desempenho, tendemos a interpretar a inatividade como um déficit, uma negação ou uma mera ausência de atividade quando, muito pelo contrário, é uma capacidade independente interessante.
