<div>Human history is a history of individuals - of kings and queens, of leaders and thinkers and of the many individuals who struggle, work hard and find their paths in life. It is also the history of individuation, understood as a continuous search for autonomy, self-affirmation and the achievement of personal goals. But today, this process of individuation is coming to an end and morphing into its opposite - disindividuation. The individual is giving way to the progressive loss of individuality and social life is turning into the society of "dividuals" - that is, beings who are becoming unaware of their uniqueness and who are losing their sense of self.&nbsp;</div> <div>&nbsp;</div> <div>The main driver of this process is technology. The more that individuals rely on technological devices to fill the social void and mitigate loneliness, the more they are recognized not so much for themselves but as the bearers of the devices that contain all the information necessary for their identity: images, texts and the digital traces of earlier exchanges. Individuals increasingly renounce their privacy, sharing it with a device that becomes an integral part of themselves. Deprived of uniqueness, the dividual is a lonely being who no longer has the ability to relate effectively to others and to external reality. We move towards a future without hope, immersed in the ever-innovative flow of information on screens, content to survive the present, as if nothing mattered.</div> <div>Human history is a history of individuals - of kings and queens, of leaders and thinkers and of the many individuals who struggle, work hard and find their paths in life.

Palgrave Studies in Prisons and Penology

This book examines the role of the prison in the commissioning and delivery of theatre practice. It draws attention to discourses of publicly acceptable arts and other mechanisms of ‘soft power’ which shape access to prison theatre. Each chapter utilises engaging storytelling methods based on the authors own experience as a prison theatre practitioner to illustrate theory. The book explores understandings of the value of arts in prison and discuss how, in a neoliberal society, people in prison can be conceptualised as ‘deserving’ or ‘undeserving’ of these practices. It examines the role of the arts organisation in designing and delivering commissionable arts practice and in caring for both practitioners and participants. It also discusses the role of the university and the facilitator in delivering work that balances the often-conflicting agendas of the prison, the arts organisation and the participants alongside their own aims within a context of precarious employment. Finally, it examines the experience of participating in prison theatre, exploring incidents of care, interdependency and collective joy within the prison and assessing how, through the delivery of short-term and insecurely funded arts projects, prison theatre can produce experiences of both hope and harm.

Strategic lessons for monetary policy from the last two tumultuous decades based on insights from Sun Tzu, the Chinese philosopher and author of The Art of War. When central banks were forced to innovate and develop a multifaceted set of new weapons in response to the 2008 global financial crisis and 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, the result was a substantial expansion in their authority and reach. In The Art of Monetary Policy, Kristin Forbes draws lessons for monetary policy of the last two decades from the principles of Sun Tzu, the author of The Art of War, a Chinese philosopher and military strategist from the fifth century BC. Tzu proposed several key principles for success—tenets that apply to monetary policy and the battlefield today: (1) plan in advance for the next battle; (2) accept and adapt to the inevitability of powerful, external shocks outside your control; (3) establish a strong tactical position; (4) develop a variety of weapons that can be combined for different maneuvers and situations; (5) maintain flexibility so that you can quickly modify your strategy; and (6) consider the longer-term costs when evaluating the trade-offs of different approaches. These principles provide insights into what central banks did (and did not) do well over the last two decades, as well as how they should deploy interest rates, balance sheets, emergency support programs, forward guidance, and macroprudential tools in the future. While the optimal strategy in both war and monetary policy is more of an “art” than a science, adopting these principles can improve our ability to battle the next crisis and build more resilient economies during peaceful periods.

'A stirring call to action' - TIM HARFORD 'A masterclass' - DARON ACEMOGLU 'An excellent book' - NASSIM NICHOLAS TALEB Two decades ago, behavioral economics burst from academia to the halls of power, on both sides of the Atlantic, with the promise that correcting individual biases could help transform society. The hope was that governments could deploy a new approach to addressing society's deepest challenges, from inadequate retirement planning to climate change-gently, but cleverly, nudging people to make choices for their own good and the good of the planet. It was all very convenient, and false. As behavioral scientists Nick Chater and George Loewenstein show in It's On You, nudges rarely work, and divert us from policies that do. For example, being nudged to switch to green energy doesn't cut carbon, and it distracts from the real challenge of building a low-carbon economy. It's on You shows how the rich and powerful have repeatedly used a clever sleight of hand: blaming individuals for social problems, with behavioral economics an unwitting accomplice, while lobbying against the systemic changes that could actually help. As two original proponents of the nudge principle, Nick and George now argue that rather than trying to "fix" the victims of bad policies, real progress requires rewriting the social and economic rulebook for the common good.

'Brilliant, wise, humane, scientific, and kind. Beliefism is exactly what the doctor ordered - and it could change the world' Cass R. Sunstein, Robert Walmsley University Professor, Harvard University 'Repeated throughout is the fine principle that whatever position you wish to argue on an issue, you must be honest about what bad effects, as well as good, will follow.' Steven Poole,&nbsp;The Times Beliefism (noun):&nbsp;Discrimination against people who disagree with us Do you avoid people who are strongly against immigration? Or strongly for trans rights? We might like to think that we're tolerant, but many of us struggle to engage with people whose opinions differ strongly from our own. That means we're falling victim to what behavioural scientist Professor Paul Dolan defines as&nbsp;Beliefism. Drawing on the evidence from across the social sciences, Dolan shows how easy it is for us to divide ourselves into opposing camps - and how harmful that can be. Combining curiosity, irreverence and warmth,&nbsp;Beliefism&nbsp;is a definitive behavioural science take by a leader in his field. Whether it's among friends, at university or at work, being less beliefist will make you a better partner or parent, and a more effective buddy or boss. &nbsp; &nbsp;

'A fascinating detective story told with humor and joy that unravels the threads of history and legend to reveal the strange stories of Britain's hill figures.'—Fiona Roberston, author of&nbsp;Stone Lands A journey through Britain’s chalklands, uncovering the stories, symbolism, and shifting meanings of the mysterious figures carved into its hills.&nbsp; Across southern England and beyond, the land bears the marks of centuries—white horses, giants, crosses, badges, even a lost panda—cut into the chalk and exposed to the sky. In The Tattooed Hills, writer Jon Woolcott travels to these remarkable sites, exploring their history and the deep cultural roots that link landscape to identity.&nbsp; Part travelogue, part cultural history, Woolcott examines how these figures—sometimes ancient, sometimes surprisingly recent—reflect the nation's collective imagination, and how their interpretations have changed over time. Once emblems of pride or remembrance, they have become mirrors of our shifting values and contradictions.&nbsp; From Iron Age hillforts to modern regimental carvings, The Tattooed Hills brings together archaeology, folklore, art, literature and music to reveal the evolving story of Britain’s chalk landscapes and the people who shaped them. Beautifully written and steeped in a sense of place, Woolcott visits many of England's Chalk figures, delving into their mysteries, including The Westbury White Horse, the Long Man of Wilmington, The Cerne Abbas Giant and the Uffington White Horse. A captivating exploration of landscape, culture, and belonging, The Tattooed Hills reveals how the Britain' chalklands connect to the past and shapes the country today.&nbsp; 'Woolcott is the most splendid company on this intoxicating, immaculately researched tour of chalky weirdness. He has a keen ear for the murmuring voice of Deep England, and the wisdom to know that the more one knows about a place or a person, the more profound the mystery.' –Charles Foster, author of The Edges of the World, Being Human and Being A Beast

A deep exploration of the opportunities and risks a global digital economy poses for refugees. Digital Exiles opens a rare window into the world of refugees trying to survive and thrive in an increasingly digitalized and technological world of work. Often excluded from local employment and struggling to make ends meet, refugees are increasingly dependent on digital jobs and online work as a financial lifeline. Andreas Hackl offers a human-centered and global perspective to these struggles through his research into three of the most important refugee-hosting countries: Lebanon, Kenya, and Germany. The pursuit of a digital livelihood—from attending coding schools in Berlin to training datasets for AI in crisis-stricken Lebanon to online freelancing in Kenya’s refugee camps—represents an increasingly important income opportunity for refugees. Digital work programs by aid organizations and the private sector aim to help the forcibly displaced become self-reliant and successful workers, yet, for many, it creates new forms of exclusion, precarity, and risk. Combining human stories with insights from five years of multisited research and applied work with leading organizations, the author presents an alternative vision of an inclusive world of work that can help shape the fair digital economy of the future.
