Rankin William: Radical Cartography / LF

Radical Cartography

Visual Argument in the Age of Data

North, south, east and west: almost all societies use the four cardinal directions to orientate themselves, to understand who they are by projecting where they are. In Four Points of the Compass, Jerry Brotton takes the reader on a journey of directional discovery. He reveals why Hebrew culture privileges east; why Renaissance Europeans began drawing north at the top of their maps; why early Islam revered the south; why the Aztecs used five colour-coded cardinal directions; and why no societies, primitive or modern, have ever orientated themselves westwards. He ends by reflecting on our digital age in which we, the little blue dot on the screen, have become the most important compass point. Throughout, Brotton shows that the directions reflect a human desire to create order and that they only have meaning, literally and metaphorically, depending on where you stand.

An inclusive and accessible resource on the interdisciplinary study of gender and sexuality Companion to Sexuality Studies explores the significant theories, concepts, themes, events, and debates of the interdisciplinary study of sexuality in a broad range of cultural, social, and political contexts. Bringing together essays by an international team of experts from diverse academic backgrounds, this comprehensive volume provides original insights and fresh perspectives on the history and institutional regulatory processes that socially construct sex and sexuality and examines the movements for social justice that advance sexual citizenship and reproductive rights. Detailed yet accessible chapters explore the intersection of sexuality studies and fields such as science, health, psychology, economics, environmental studies, and social movements over different periods of time and in different social and national contexts. Divided into five parts, the Companion first discusses the theoretical and methodological diversity of sexuality studies.Subsequent chapters address the fields of health, science and psychology, religion, education and the economy. They also include attention to sexuality as constructed in popular culture, as well as global activism, sexual citizenship, policy, and law. An essential overview and an important addition to scholarship in the field, this book: Draws on international, postcolonial, intersectional, and interdisciplinary insights from scholars working on sexuality studies around the worldProvides a comprehensive overview of the field of sexuality studiesOffers a diverse range of topics, themes, and perspectives from leading authoritiesFocuses on the study of sexuality from the late nineteenth century to the presentIncludes an overview of the history and academic institutionalization of sexuality studies The Companion to Sexuality Studies is an indispensable resource for scholars, researchers, instructors, and students in gender, sexuality, and feminist studies, interdisciplinary programs in cultural studies, international studies, and human rights, as well as disciplines such as anthropology, psychology, history, education, human geography, political science, and sociology.

Companion to Sexuality Studies

Science and technology produce a wide range of benefits in society but they also create harm, both of which are unequally distributed across social groups and geographic regions. This incisive book provides a set of analytical tools to understand how inequality relating to science and technology is produced, and how the field can be reorganized to make good on its promise to improve life for all. &nbsp; Using a range of evidence and examples, Frickel and Moore show that science and technology are closely bound up with social inequalities, including linked problems of poor health, environmental degradation, racism, and sexism. They use the frame of "scientific inequality formations" to investigate the technoscientific sources of unequal power relations in society, examining issues such as the underdevelopment of non-profitable technologies, how laws and markets direct scientific advances, and the exclusion of certain social groups from the creation of knowledge and solutions relevant to their lives. This timely book illuminates interventions that redirect science and technology toward more equitable ends with the potential to be more widely distributed, charting a path to a more just future.

Descriptions of Deviance articulates and publicises what is now a very substantial submerged corpus of ethnomethodological studies that are directly relevant to the sociology of deviance and criminology but which have hardly received any attention from mainstream sociologists and criminologists.

Descriptions of Deviance

"This&nbsp;groundbreaking book connects historical practices of eugenics to big data's contemporary challenges. Anita Say Chan highlights the power of community-based alternatives to extractive data that are rooted in feminist, people of color, and Indigenous perspectives. An essential book for anyone looking to envision more equitable technological futures."—Shaka McGlotten, author of Virtual Intimacies: Media, Affect, and Queer Sociality &nbsp; "Predatory Data is the framework that we have been waiting for—to refuse, resist, and reimagine new possibilities as a part of decolonizing algorithmic and data practices."—Nishant Shah, Associate Professor and Director of the Digital Narratives Studio, Chinese University of Hong Kong "By taking eugenics as the founding moment of modernity's drive to data extraction, Chan's book dislodges all comforting notions of technology as trustworthy and upends ruling assumptions about who has the right to speak through data. An essential retelling of how data happened that also rethinks whose futures really matter in the worlds that data and AI are now building."—Nick Couldry, coauthor of&nbsp;The Costs of Connection "Predatory Data&nbsp;asks readers to consider the striking parallels between the eugenics movement of the early twentieth century and today's big data practices. With unflinching and careful analysis, Chan shows how the quest to capture and map human differences creates an extractive and destructive course that profits from marginalizing the most marginalized among us, often in the name of knowledge regimes. This book delivers a critical examination of the persistent continuity of predatory data methods across generations and a call to action to reimagine how data infrastructures could promote justice and pluralism. Drawing on examples from community leaders, partners, experts, and fellow researchers, Chan inspires us to understand the power and politics of data, and how to fight for an independent and inclusive future without compromising our humanness."—Mary L. Gray, MacArthur Fellow and coauthor of Ghost Work: How to Stop Silicon Valley from Building a New Global Underclass

"Jathan Sadowski is one of the most incisive and important thinkers on technology and capitalism today. This urgent book is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the deeper political economy that shapes the digital domain and, by extension, every facet of modern life."—Astra Taylor, author of The Age of Insecurity: Coming Together as Things Fall Apart "Smart, urgent, and as bluntly powerful as the titular Luddite's hammer, this book is required reading for anyone who seeks to understand how technology really gets made—and whom it's made to serve. Even better, it will give you the tools to fight back against the complex systems that have entangled the globe with digitized regimes of profit, exploitation, and oppression. The time for a thunderous new Luddite politics is now—and Sadowski's scathing, erudite, and accessible manifesto delivers."—Brian Merchant, author of Blood in the Machine: The Origins of the Rebellion against Big Tech &nbsp; "Sadowski has written a badly needed text that's arriving at exactly the right time. His crisp and active prose generously illuminates technology's relationship to flows of money and power and the whims of those who wield them. Reading The Mechanic and the Luddite feels like listening to a great friend excitedly telling you about a new discovery, letting you in on something interesting and important."—Meredith Whittaker, Chief Advisor and Cofounder, AI Now Institute

A Ruthless Criticism of Technology and Capitalism

The Mechanic and the Luddite

An urgent reality check for America's blinkered fixation on STEM education. We live in an era of STEM obsession. Not only do tech companies dominate American enterprise and economic growth while complaining of STEM shortages, but we also need scientific solutions to impending crises. As a society, we have poured enormous resources--including billions of dollars--into cultivating young minds for well-paid STEM careers. Yet despite it all, we are facing a worker exodus, with as many as 70% of STEM graduates opting out of STEM work. Sociologist John D. Skrentny investigates why, and the answer, he shows, is simple: the failure of STEM jobs. Wasted Education reveals how STEM work drives away bright graduates as a result of "burn and churn" management practices, lack of job security, constant training for a neverending stream of new--and often socially harmful--technologies, and the exclusion of women, people of color, and older workers. Wasted Education shows that if we have any hope of improving the return on our STEM education investments, we have to change the way we're treating the workers on whom our future depends.
