Connecting your faith with what you watch, read, and play

'Facing Drag' brings together international experts from cultural studies - including history, media, theatre, dance, and performance studies - to explore how gender, race, and ethnicity are impersonated across time and cultures. Drawing on diverse case studies, the volume examines performative acts of crossing, appropriation, and re-signification, foregrounding their political, ethical, and aesthetic dimensions. Expanding the concept of drag beyond gender bending, it investigates the interrelations of drag, processes of racialization and colonial histories. The essays offer critical insights into both the subversive potential of drag and its entanglement with violent forms of Othering and exclusion.

Gender Bending and Racialized Masking in Performing Arts and Popular Culture

Facing Drag

A celebration and exploration of gossip, reclaiming it as a powerful tool for building relationships, sharing vital information and enabling women's voices to be heard.Tittle-tattle. Hearsay. Rumours. Bitching. Tea.Call it what you will: the fact remains that gossip is entwined into our daily lives. From group WhatsApp chats to click-bait headlines, social media snooping to reality television, there is nothing more devilishly delicious, scandalous, and satisfying than a juicy piece of gossip.All-too-often dismissed as the pastime of silly schoolgirls and bored housewives, there's more to gossip than meets the eye. In today's world of misinformation, where the voices and stories of women are being silenced, gossip has the power to shatter reputations and destroy credibility. Yet it can also be a vital political tool; a communication style that strengthens relationships and can even act a life-saving measure.Tracing gossip's roots from old wives' tales and the witch trials to reality TV, whisper networks and defamation lawsuits, Beyond Beliefasks, have we lost the ability to listen; to hear, and to believe women who speak up and speak out?A joyous reclamation of women's words, this book is for anyone who's ever uttered the words, 'You won't believe this...'

A Defence of Gossip and the Women Who Do it

Beyond Belief

'Has the power to change the way you look at the world' Steven Bartlett'The heir to Oliver Sacks' David BaddielA FINANCIAL TIMESBEST BOOK OF 2024AN INDEPENDENTBOOK OF THE MONTHGluttony. Greed. Sloth. Pride. Envy. Lust. Anger.These are the seven deadly sins, the vices of humankind that define immorality, the roots of all evil in the world. Or so some believe.But do these sins really represent moral failings, or are they simply human functions that aid us? Are they just the result of how our bodies, psyches, and brains in particular, are wired?This new book by Dr Guy Leschziner, a professor of neurology and sleep medicine, explores the underlying nature of the seven deadly sins, their neuroscientific and psychological basis, their origin in our genes and crucially how certain medical disorders give rise to them.Drawing on his clinical practice, we meet individuals whose physical and psychological conditions have given rise to these sins, where brain injury or other experiences have sparked 'immoral' actions. He explores how illness can simply expose what lies within us and investigates how the origins of these traits lie in evolutionary imperatives to preserve the wellbeing of the tribe. Perhaps, he suggests, these character traits are less of a moral question and more biological, which raises fundamental issues of responsibility and blame in the face of 'sin'.Combining cutting-edge science placed in the context of real-life experience with patients, the book reexamines where the boundaries between normal human nature, pathology and sin are drawn. And, most importantly, whether these hard-wired traits truly represent sin, or simply the intensity of our intrinsic desire to survive and thrive.

Despite decades of progress, modern womanhood feels more challenging than ever. Atlantic critic and Pulitzer Prize finalist Sophie Gilbert reveals how today's misogyny emerged from another turbulent era: the late 90s and early 2000s. Spanning the past thirty years of pop culture - from Madonna to Taylor Swift, #GirlBoss to OnlyFans, Real Housewives to trad-wives - Girl on Girl shows how every form of media, heavily influenced by the rise of porn, has warped women's relationships with themselves and others. We cannot move forward without fully reckoning with the ways pop culture has defined us - this book shows us how. *** 'A captivating must-read' KATE MANNE 'I folded down every single page' PANDORA SYKES 'Vast, engaging and brilliant' Stylist 'A book that will make you think, and want to discuss' Glamour 'Add this book to the list of titles that urgently provide context and answers to the hell storm that is [vaguely waves around] everything going on right now' Harper's Bazaar

How Pop Culture Turned a Generation of Women Against Themselves

Girl on Girl

Technology is conventionally viewed as dehumanizing. Yet, as this concise book shows, it has become uniquely emotional, continuously tapping into and eliciting a great variety of emotions. From emojis, GIFs, likes, influencers, meditation apps and virtual worlds, technology increasingly mimics and extends emotional life, turning feelings into quantifiable data and yielding extraordinary profits. Techno-capitalism, Eva Illouz argues, no longer mines the soil by extracts value from the self and subjectivity, transforming emotional energy into capital. This machinic intimacy between humans and technology integrates economy, culture and psychology into one single matrix, making emotions into the new economic pipelines of techno-capitalism. These claims are backed by economic data that reveal the extraordinary profitability of emotions. The emotionalism of technology has profound effects: the loss of experience, loneliness crowded with vicarious interactions and leisure, and the replacement of reality by the performance of authenticity. Through a variety of examples - social media, gaming, and TV series like Black Mirror - Illouz explores the mechanisms through which the emotional self has become the main economic resource of capitalism, a world where out feelings pass through machines and are manufactured, measured and sold by them.

Tänzerisch-autobiografische Verfahren von Künstler*innen, sogenannte 'Auto_Choreo_Grafien', sind häufig in sozio-temporale Umbruchsdiskurse eingebettet. Nadja Rothenburger betrachtet sie im Kontext der 1970er bis 2020er Jahre anhand der Positionalität und Perspektive von Tänzer*innen gegenüber dem Berliner Mauerfall oder der Implementierung professioneller Arbeitsbedingungen für freiberufliche Schweizer Tanzschaffende. Dabei analysiert sie die dynamische Bezugnahme auf historische und politische Ereignisse mithilfe spezifischer Konstellationen, die ein produktives Überdenken von Ich-Konstitutionen ermöglichen - ein Ausgangsmoment für eine multiperspektivische, raumzeitliche Tanzgeschichtsschreibung.

Contemporary World Issues

This book provides an accessible resource for understanding the world behind the advertising jingles and Super Bowl commercials and digital algorithms. Advertising has become a ubiquitous force in American life, penetrating almost every aspect of our daily routines. Additionally, as technology has evolved throughout American history, so too has advertising proliferated as media has become increasingly sophisticated and ever-present, whether it takes the form of algorithms governing your social media feed, television commercials, paid influencers, or stadiums branded with the names of corporate sponsors/owners. This authoritative one-stop resource provides a rich overview of the evolution and present state of advertising in all its forms, as well as the multitude of connected issues-data collection, privacy, consumerism, technology, and others-regarding advertising and its role as both a shaper and reflector of American culture. It surveys various advertising media, discusses the social and cultural contexts in which it is consumed, and highlights key moments in the history of advertising in the United States. In addition, the book is supplemented with carefully curated primary sources, personal essays, a glossary of advertising terms, and other resources to provide readers with a full picture of advertising as both an industry and a shaper of American culture.

Advertising in America

The fascinating psychology of blindspots, their complex causes, and the alarming consequences of looking without seeing. Can we believe our eyes? Most of us are confident that we can, but we shouldn't be so sure. Every day, we fail to see things that are right in front of us, miss sudden or unexpected changes and fall for illusions without realising it. The culprit? Blind spots. These hidden gaps in our perception are responsible for errors in operating machinery, diagnosing medical conditions, giving evidence in court and even influence how we invest our money or shop. Unseen explores the hidden corners of the human mind where perception fails, from the everyday oversights to the deep-rooted cognitive biases that shape our worldview. Lifting the lid on how our minds shape what we see, neuropsychologist David Lewis and illusionist Keelan Leyser explore the different types of blind spots, why they occur, how they can be used to manipulate our thoughts and the practical steps we can take to avoid them. What have you been missing?

Blind spots and why we miss what matters most

A feminist romp through pop culture that illuminates how women influence and shape the economy. Taylor Swift isn't just a pop megastar. She is a working woman whose astounding accomplishments defy patriarchal norms. And while not all women can be Beyoncé or Dolly Parton or Reese Witherspoon, the successes of these trailblazing stars help us understand the central role of women in today's economy. Swiftynomics assesses the complex economic lives of everyday American women through the stories of groundbreakers like Taylor Swift, Misty L. Heggeness digs into the data, revealing women's hidden contributions and aspirations--the unexamined value they create by pursuing their own ambitions. She highlights the abundance of productive activity in their daily lives and acknowledges the barriers they still face. Exploring critical reforms regarding caregiving and gendered labor, this book offers advice for women to thrive in an economy that was not built for them.

Wie arbeiten Teams, in denen Fachkräfte aus verschiedenen Berufen gleichberechtigt in einer Kirchengemeinde oder Region eingesetzt sind? Nach welchen Prinzipien wird die Arbeit gestaltet und was bedeutet das für die Praxis? Diesen Fragen geht die empirische Studie in drei Landeskirchen nach. Sie bietet eine Analyse von gelingender Zusammenarbeit und konflikthaften Situationen. 
 

 Anhand von Fallrekonstruktionen werden Faktoren präsentiert, die für die Teamprozesse, Abläufe und Strukturen mehrberuflicher Zusammenarbeit relevant sind. Diskutiert werden die Handlungslogiken der zentralen Akteure, das Zusammenwirken von Haupt- und Ehrenamt, die Bedeutung von Berufsprofilen und Innovationspotenziale für die Kirche.

 

 [Multidisciplinary teamwork in the church. Cooperation between functional differentiation and shared responsibility] 
 

 How do teams work in which professionals from different occupations are employed on an equal footing in a parish or region? What principles govern the work and what does this mean in practice? These questions are explored in an empirical study conducted in three regional churches. It offers an analysis of successful cooperation and conflictual situations.
Based on case reconstructions, factors relevant to team processes, procedures and structures of multi-professional cooperation are presented. The study discusses the rationales behind the actions of key players, the interaction between full-time and voluntary work, the significance of professional profiles and innovation potential for the church.

Neue Ökologie

Die ökologische Krise ist vielschichtig. Die erforderliche gesellschaftliche Transformation betrifft auch das Weltbild. Aktuelle Vorschläge zur Weiterentwicklung der Vorstellungen zum Verhältnis von Mensch und Natur fallen meist fragmentarisch aus und tendieren in eine romantische oder utopische Richtung. Was fehlt, ist eine fundierte Klärung der Sinnbedingungen passender Weltbilder. Die Beiträge aus Philosophie, Theologie und Environmental Humanities legen dazu grundlegende Überlegungen vor und benennen zentrale Faktoren: die moralische und rechtliche Stellung von Naturwesen, die spirituelle Dimension, die Ausrichtung technischer und ökonomischer Zugänge und die Notwendigkeit eines relationalen Denkens.

THE RULES THAT MAKE US 'With the eye of an anthropologist and the clarity of a storyteller, Oliver Sweet helps us see the water we all swim in - the invisible systems that shape our choices, our communities, and even our sense of self. This book doesn't just explain culture; it restores our ability to see it - to notice what we have stopped noticing ... I read it with gratitude and a sense of recognition: this is how deep seeing begins.' Christian Madsbjerg, author of Look and Sensemaking 'Oliver Sweet does something rare: he captures cultural complexity without flattening it into easy answers. The evidence is rigorous, the thinking is nuanced, and the whole thing feels genuinely contemporary.' Rob Scotland, head of brand marketing at Veo 'A must-read for anyone who wants to understand how the world really works.' Erin Meyer, author of The Culture Map 'Anthropology in technicolour - accessible, sharp and unsettling in all the right ways. It reminds us that culture doesn't just describe who we are; it scripts what we believe is possible.' Dr Lollie Mancey, programme director at UCD Innovation Academy Oliver Sweet's book is not only a highly informative read and riotously entertaining, but it's an important book ... It is a brilliant and truthful account of how culture shapes us, and more importantly how it unites us more than divides us.' Chloe Combi, author, speaker, columnist, consultant 'Policy makers, think tankers, businesses, consultants, listen up: Forget "nudge" and "behaviour change" - culture is where it's at!' Professor Martin Holbraad, director of Ethnographic Insights Lab, UCL 'The Rules That Make Us is more than a guide to culture; it's a framework for seeing the systems that shape belief, behaviour, and belonging. What makes it powerful is that it's not just theory - it's lived anthropology, translated into a way of thinking that anyone can use. This book doesn't just describe the world; it helps you understand how to work with it.' Murray Standford, head of anthropology, Coca-Cola
