From the author of Enemy Feminisms and Abolish the Family, an original diagnosis of femmephobia in our culture, and a vision of a life-giving femme feminism for all. 
 
To be femme is to embody a dispossessed femininity, to be freighted with freedom, to refuse to be made proper or institutionalized. To love it is to embrace love for women (be they butch or not) in the broadest sense. In Femmephilia, Sophie Lewis makes the case for the vital importance of politicized femme-ness: a feminism that is self-consciously artificial, extravagant in its erotic and political appetites, and staunchly anti-work, abolitionist, and utopian. Femme labors deserve our care, respect, and support, but instead face dismissal from masculinist antagonists and feminist allies alike. 
 
Where neoliberal women's empowerment has failed to combat the eruption of right-wing, anti-trans, and anti-feminist attacks, Lewis argues that femmephilia can help us imagine a radical future. In essays on the high femme genius of Marilyn Monroe and trans yearning in the myth of Apollo and Daphne; on octopuses and girlbosses, reluctant heterosexuals, lesbian separatists, and anti-work cats; and on a mother on strike from maternity, Femmephilia offers a new logic of liberation for all feminized people.

Love Letters to Trans Mermaids, Queer Mothers, and Marilyn Monroe

Femmephilia

Lo hemos pasado en grande siendo Swifties, y ahora, esa historia —llena de felicidad, amistad, conexión, payasadas y canciones cantadas a pleno pulmón —está documentada en este tributo a la comunidad de fans y la razón por la que estamos todos aquí, Taylor Swift. Todos sabemos cómo empezó: una adolescente de Pensilvania que se mudó a Nashville y pronto ascendió hasta la cima de las listas de música country. Aquí es donde comenzó la historia de Taylor Swift en 2006, pero también es donde empezó nuestra historia como Swifties. Nuestra historia es un emotivo viaje a través de la historia Swiftie, que muestra la evolución de una comunidad de fans que ha sobrevivido al paso del tiempo. Narrado a través de la lente de las experiencias personales, este libro es una crónica del auge de una comunidad que se ha mantenido ferozmente leal en cada etapa. Desde llamar a las emisoras de radio para pedir Tim McGraw, hasta momentos inolvidables en Tumblr en los que Taylor y los fans parecían un grupo de amigos y sobrevivir a una guerra con Ticketmaster —hemos estado ahí. Hemos aprendido lecciones vitales, intercambiado pulseras de la amistad, dominado las matemáticas de los husos horarios para conectarnos a directos, y creado un lenguaje que tan solo otro Swiftie —o la propia Taylor— puede entender. Pero más allá de todos estos momentos compartidos, lo que verdaderamente nos une es el hecho de que las letras de Taylor parecen haber sido escritas solo para nosotros, como reflejos de nuestras propias historias. Esta comunidad de fans, apasionada y única, ha ganado premios y se ha estudiado a fondo, pero, por primera vez, los fans pueden rememorar y celebrar lo que significa ser parte de esta comunidad que te cambia la vida. Una carta de amor escrita por una Swiftie para Swifties, Nuestra historia es una promesa de que nuestra historia jamás será olvidada.

Die wichtigsten Texte der Ikone des US-amerikanischen Feminismus

Ungefragter Rat in einer angespannten Gegenwart

The Apocalypse Omnibus collects the best of Adam Parfrey’s essays in a single volume. 
Adam Parfrey was, before starting iconoclastic publisher Feral House, a writer. His foresight in revealing extreme trends and societal angst long before mainstream media had any inkling of the darkness bubbling just under the surface of American culture earned him praise and derision.&nbsp; Apocalypse Culture (1987) was hailed by J.G. Ballard as the “terminal documents of the Twentieth Century.”
Many of the included essays are eerily prescient as Parfrey warned about right-wing militias in the early nineties and documented the rise of conspiracy-dominated thinking decades before Republican government officials loudly declared political opponents were satanically inspired drinkers of baby blood. Yet Parfrey’s interests were wide-ranging and Apocalypse Omnibus includes profiles of outré characters, artists, and, yes, some crackpots. Parfrey loved tweaking American mythology by resurrecting lost texts highlighting outlaws and outsiders. He continually sought to expose the absurdity of American culture. His collective writings have become the ur-texts of the "Dirtbag Left."
"Parfrey was fascinated by the contrast between America portrayed as wholesome freedom-loving peacekeepers and the reality of covert military operations, mass-drug experiments, and the obscured “wizards” hidden behind the curtain pulling the levers of power. His work has been lauded as groundbreaking and criticized as dangerous. In a time when truth has been stretched to the breaking point, Parfrey’s essays remind readers that there is always more to the story.
Apocalypse Omnibus also contains material previously published in the out-of-print books, Apocalypse Culture 2 (2003) and Cult Rapture (1995), as well as new material culled from his extensive private archives. It also contains a selection of Parfrey’s essays and investigations, originally published in the San Diego Reader, Village Voice, Hustler Magazine, and on his own site, and inaccessible for years, are collected here in a single volume.&nbsp;

The Adam Parfrey Reader

Apocalypse Omnibus

Bloomsbury Studies in Digital Cultures

In 1945, W. Averell Harriman, US Ambassador to the Soviet Union, was presented with a carved wooden plaque of the Great Seal of the United States as a 'gesture of friendship' by a delegation from the Soviet's Young Pioneer Organization. Unbeknownst to him, one of the first covert listening devices, invented by Leon Theremin was hidden within it and was subsequently used to listen in on the ambassador's conversations for six years before being discovered. This book uses remarkable tales like this to tell the story of how modern audio surveillance developed and its important role in the evolution of today's artificial intelligence. Beginning with post-WW2 monitoring devices, Listening In traces an arc through the Cold War era into the present day in which state and commercial spyware can record our calls, copy messages and secretly film us. It subsequently moves into the near future where AI-assisted technologies can listen to things we have not yet said as well as digitally simulate and record our voices after we have died. Exploring how mass audio surveillance is carried out through devices such as smart phones, speakers and baby monitors and used to inform and train AI algorithms, the book provides fresh insights into how we are allowing our personal privacies to be traded for enhanced social connectivity and technological convenience. Ultimately Listening In reveals how the urge to listen and record everything that has ever been uttered is scored deeply into the technological operating systems of cultures from around the world. Listening In is also available in audiobook format from audiobook retailers.

How Audio Surveillance Became Artificial Intelligence

Listening In

For fans of the witty and evocative writing of Anne Helen Petersen and Amanda Montell, a sharply clever exploration of what it means to be a “bad mom” by delving into the world of momfluencers, stage moms, trad wives, and more. We all have an idea what it means to be a good mom: little screen time, kids hitting their milestones, endless patience and understanding, and self-sacrifice on behalf of one’s children. But what does it mean to be a “bad mom” in modern society? Women as wide-ranging as Meghan Markle, Hannah Neelman (of Ballerina Farm), and anyone giving birth over forty, have been labeled “bad moms.” In a world where the rules are constantly changing, it feels like women simply cannot win. With this in mind, in her first book, Ej Dickson takes a sharp, provocative look at one of society’s most polarizing labels: the “bad mom.” What makes a mother “bad,” and why? Through the lens of pop culture and American history, Ej Dickson explores how this trope has evolved—from Victorian “angels in the house” to the infamous Mommie Dearest, from Instagram influencers like EmRata and Mormon momfluencers to fictional icons like The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Each chapter dives into a different archetype of so-called bad motherhood—like the Stage Mom, the Tiger Mom, the MILF, the MLM hun—challenging us to rethink our assumptions about femininity, parenting, and societal expectations. Drawing on insightful analysis and interviews, Dickson unpacks why our culture is obsessed with vilifying moms and how issues of race and class shape these narratives. Are bad moms truly “bad,” or do they simply defy norms we don’t fully understand—or fear? This isn’t just cultural commentary—it’s a clarion call. Because if we really take a close look, we might find that some of the women we’ve reviled throughout history are due for a reassessment — and in doing so, moms today may take some much-needed pressure off themselves. One Bad Mother invites moms everywhere to stop chasing impossible standards, reclaim their autonomy, and maybe—just maybe—enjoy motherhood for what it is, not what it’s “supposed” to be. Thoughtful, eye-opening, and downright funny at times, One Bad Mother is a vital exploration of modern motherhood.

The talent behind Radiohead's iconic artwork reveals in his own words and for the first time the creative process that has driven his career and earned him a cult reputation. A restless and prolific figure, Stanley Donwood is widely regarded as one of the most important visual artists of his generation. His influential work for Radiohead spans many practices and ever-evolving aesthetics over a 23-year period, from music packaging to installations to print-making. Here, for the very first time, he reveals his personal notebooks, photographs, sketches and abandoned routes to iconic Radiohead artworks. Arranged chronologically, chapters are each dedicated to a major work - be it an album cover, promotional piece or a personal project - presented as a step-by-step working case study, from speculative ideas and sketches right through to Photoshop experiments and the finished piece. Accompanying narratives by Donwood explain the inspirations and stories behind his creative process and what it is like to work with the band, told with his typical razor-sharp humour and generosity of spirit. Featuring a treasury of archive material, this is the first deep dive into Donwood's creative practice and the artistic freedom afforded to him by working for a major music act. There Will Be No Quiet is essential reading, and viewing, for fans of the band and anyone interested in the explosive mix of artistic accident, musical ingenuity and creative originality.

Screens change things. They do it obviously. They do it subtly. They do it inevitably. Screens make the far things seem near. They make the near things seem far. They convey the world. They capture it. They distort it. They destabilize it. The premise of this book is that they do the same thing to people.
