Letters on Living the Faith

Why does gender inequality persist in tech--even in workplaces that invest in fixing it? In Networking to Nowhere, sociologist Ethel Mickey uncovers the paradox at the heart of modern tech culture: Networking is hailed as the key to opportunity, yet it systematically works against women. Drawing on ethnographic research inside a top tech firm, Mickey reveals how "ideal" networking practices like informal referrals, after-hours schmoozing, and bro-bonding over sports reinforce old boys' clubs that exclude women and people of color. Women, encouraged to lean into formal events, conferences, and diversity programs, often find these efforts go unrewarded, networking them to nowhere. By exposing how gendered expectations, invisible cultural codes, and even well-meaning corporate DEI programs can deepen inequality, this book offers a powerful new framework for understanding gender and organizations in the contemporary economy--and what it will take to chart a new path forward.

How Gender Inequality Persists in Tech

Networking to Nowhere

In this highly original study of the cultural assumptions governing our conception of people with disabilities, Lennard J. Davis argues forcefully against "ableist" discourse and for a complete recasting of the category of disability itself. Enforcing Normalcy surveys the emergence of a cluster of concepts around the term "normal" as these matured in western Europe and the United States over the past 250 years. Linking such notions to the concurrent emergence of discourses about the nation, Davis shows how the modern nation-state constructed its identity on the backs not only of colonized subjects, but of its physically disabled minority. In a fascinating chapter on contemporary cultural theory, Davis explores the pitfalls of privileging the figure of sight in conceptualizing the nature of textuality. And in a treatment of nudes and fragmented bodies in Western art, he shows how the ideal of physical wholeness is both demanded and denied in the classical aesthetics of representation. Enforcing Normalcy redraws the boundaries of political and cultural discourse. By insisting that disability be added to the familiar triad of race, class and gender, the book challenges progressives to expand the limits of their thinking about human oppression. Includes a new preface from the author.

A landmark exploration of women-led communities worldwide and what they can teach us about new ways to live, think and govern, from BBC global correspondent Megha Mohan. 'An inspiration for the future' GLORIA STEINEM 'Thoroughly researched and intelligently reported' THE TIMES 'The best of journalism' LYSE DOUCET 'Much-needed and compassionate' MARY ROBINSON 'A must-read' MARCUS RYDER Society isn't working for women - or any of us. But what if the rules were different? Imagine a world in which women have all the power. A world in which they work together to shape their societies and their futures. In reality, women's communities have always existed, and continue to thrive. In this vital and ground-breaking book, Megha Mohan goes in search of their roots, discovering a vibrant global history, brought together here for the first time. She also takes us into today's women-led spaces, where women live on their own terms, showing us how we can rethink society for new ways of living, working and collaborating. Through extensive research and exclusive first-hand reporting and inspired by her great-grandmother's own matrilineal community in South India, Mohan introduces us to fascinating and diverse groups of women. From the controversial feminist online trolls of South Korea to older women co-housing in Paris and North London and the Rain Queens of South Africa, this is a truly global look at women's community. Essential reading for anyone interested in our collective histories, cultures, economics and governance, Herlands shows the power and possibility of new ways of living - and leading - for us all.

Welche Konsequenzen hat der Neue Materialismus für die Theologie? Da sich Schöpfungs- und Inkarnationstheologie grundlegend mit der Bedeutung des Materiellen befassen, kann gerade hier ein Dialog mit dem Neuen Materialismus fruchtbare Impulse liefern. Franca Spies zeigt in Auseinandersetzung mit Karen Barads Agentiellem Realismus, inwiefern der 'materialist turn' zugleich ein 'relational turn' ist: Nicht isolierte Entitäten, sondern das Geflecht ihrer Beziehungen rückt in den Fokus. Schöpfungs- und Inkarnationstheologie erhalten eine performativ-praktische Kontur - mit tiefgreifenden politischen und ökologischen Implikationen, die neue Perspektiven für das Nachdenken über Gott, Welt und Mensch eröffnen.

Winner of the Prix Médicis Étranger in France and the Premio de la Critica in Spain Conversation-starting and prize-winning international fiction: an extraordinary meditation on violence, conspiracy and the many complex afterlives of the Holocaust 'Audacious' Observer 'Provocative' Times Literary Supplement 'Extraordinary' Olivia Laing Eduardo and his brother have been living in the US for three years when their parents send them back to Guatemala for the holidays. It is 1984 and their native country, in the midst of a violent civil war, feels newly alien to them - their Spanish faltering, already half-forgotten. Their grandfather collects the boys from the airport and drives them into the mountains, depositing them at what they're told is a Jewish summer camp. At the camp, the children meet a counsellor called Samuel Blum: a handsome young man with sky-blue eyes who knows about all kinds of things. He shows them how to make a survival shelter out of branches and leaves, and how to kindle a fire using a glass bottle. He sings songs with them and plays games. But he also trains them to march in rank, and salute, and dive for cover. He teaches them the Hebrew words for 'grenade' and 'soldier' and 'silence'. On the fourth day, everything changes. The boys are shaken from their beds at dawn. A terrifying figure, uniformed in black, looms over them, and beyond him is the sound of screaming outside. Eduardo looks into the stranger's face - it is Samuel Blum, but his sky-blue eyes look different now. In his hand he carries a club. Crawling down his left arm is a huge tarantula. Thought-provoking and powerfully ambivalent, Tarantula is an extraordinary meditation on the many complex afterlives of the Holocaust. It is a novel about individual and collective inheritance, individual and collective violence; about memory, trauma, connection and estrangement. It asks what it means to be a Jew in the long wake of the twentieth century, and how the past lives on in the present.

Cambridge Studies on Civil Rights and Civil Liberties

This book reveals how Congress quietly shaped American elections across more than a century of constitutional development. Far from a passive observer, Congress used its authority to influence key controversies - from the expansion of slavery in new territories to the reconstruction of the post-Civil War electorate. Congress exercised power under the Elections Clause, the Guarantee Clause, and later, the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, to combat voter suppression, reimagine representation, and determine who could (and could not) participate in American democracy. Even as Jim Crow laws disenfranchised millions, Congress continued to review and sometimes overturn the elections of its own members, refusing to cede complete control to the states. In doing so, Congress routinely subordinated federalism to politics. In Congress We Trust? provides a new perspective on who truly governs our system of elections by showing that federal authority has been broad, lasting, and decisive.

Zeitschrift für Kultur- und Kollektivwissenschaft

Die 'Zeitschrift für Kultur- und Kollektivwissenschaft' ist ein Forum, das auf der Grundlage der Kulturwissenschaft eine Kollektivwissenschaft entwickeln möchte. Diese angestrebte neue Disziplin lenkt den Blick auf das Kollektiv als Kulturträger und dient damit zum einen der praktischen Kulturforschung und gewährt zum anderen neuartige Einblicke in das Wesen des Sozialen. Der weit gefasste Begriff des Kollektivs tritt an die Stelle der traditionellen Gruppen- und Gesellschaftskonzepte und macht bisher verborgene Schichten menschlicher Gemeinschaftlichkeit zugänglich. Heft 11/2 widmet sich der Rolle von Kollektivität in einem von individueller Genialität geprägten Feld: der Kunst. Anhand von Chören, Jazz-Bands, Musikfestivals, dem Kollektiv ruangrupa, Designmoden, Filmen und Architekturkonzepten gehen die Beiträger*innen der Frage nach, welche besonderen Herausforderungen die kollektive künstlerische Kooperation birgt, wie diese Kooperation künstlerisch adressiert wird und was sich bei ihrer Reflexion über Kollektivität im Allgemeinen erfahren lässt.

What do we mean when we talk about antisemitism? A thoughtful, vital new intervention from the award-winning historian 'An immense contribution... In tracing the evolving meaning of 'antisemitism,' [Mazower] demonstrates persuasively how we might turn it from a weapon back into a word... Rigorous and lucid' - Lily Meyer, The New Republic' For most of history, antisemitism has been understood as a menace from Europe's political Right, the province of blood-and-soil ethno-nativists who built on Christendom's long-standing suspicion of its Jewish population and infused it with racist pseudo-science. Such threats culminated in the nightmare of Nazi Germany and the Holocaust. The landscape is very different now, as Mark Mazower argues in this piercingly brilliant book. More than four-fifths of the world's Jews now live in Israel and the United States, with the former's military dominance of its region guaranteed by the latter while the loudest voices decrying antisemitism see it coming from the Left not the Right. Mazower clearly and carefully shows us how we got here, seeking to illuminate rather than blame. Very few words have the punch of 'antisemitism' and yet no term is more liable to be misunderstood in ways affecting free speech and foreign policy alike. On Antisemitism is a vitally important attempt to draw a line that must be drawn.

A Word in History

On Antisemitism

'An exhilarating, urgent work . . . [Dark Laboratory] threads together ecological and human crises in an original, glittering web' Afua Hirsch From award-winning writer and theorist Tao Leigh Goffe, an urgent investigation into the intertwined history of colonialism and the climate crisis - and the lessons we can learn to fight for a better world. Our planet is on the precipice of dramatic ecological breakdown and climate despair is at an all-time high. But there are many communities who have survived beyond the environmental destruction wrought on them by colonialism - and they hold the solutions for climate repair. Using the Caribbean as a case study, Tao Leigh Goffe traces the vibrant and complex history of the islands back to 1492 and the arrival of Christopher Columbus when the Caribbean became the subject of Western exploitation. Charting the human and ecological forces that have shaped the islands, Goffe examines the legacy of fierce warrior Queen Nanny of the Maroons, engages in pressing cultural debate about stolen artefacts and human remains which are kept hidden in museum archives, and visits Indigenous farming cooperatives who are using ancestral knowledge to rebuild their communities. Using the Caribbean as both a warning and a guide, Dark Laboratory takes hopeful and galvanizing teachings from the islands communities to offer illuminating solutions to the ecological crisis. From guano to sugarcane, coral bleaching to invasive mongoose populations, Dark Laboratory is a lyrical, vibrant and urgent investigation into the greatest threat facing humanity. 'Noble and necessary . . . Goffe's ear is tuned to songs of resistance, to what it looks like to make life amid (and after) colonial subjugation' New York Times 'Thoroughly compelling . . . Every page is mixed with heart and conviction' Monique Roffey
