Urban Studies

Today, art practices unfold across physical sites and digital platforms. In her study, Ludovica Tomarchio reveals how museums, art districts, and small cultural venues are reshaped by the logics of social media, influencing visibility, public experience, and spatial practices. Through detailed case studies from Singapore and beyond, this book demonstrates how architecture, curatorial practices, and social media platform cultures interact in processes of hybrid spatial production.

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.

A BOOK OF THE YEAR IN THE TIMES, DAILY TELEGRAPH, FINANCIAL TIMES AND IRISH TIMES From the author of Klopp: My Liverpool Romance comesanother funny and insightful look at one of Britain's greatest and strangest soccer figures. He was stranger than he knew - than any of us knew. &gt;Tracking his career from youth-team player at Scunthorpe to the England manager's job, by way of Liverpool, Newcastle and Hamburg, Keegan considers the extravagant highs of a man who touched the game with genius, who was never fired and who came within an ace of triumph as a manager. A story of almost and maybe, of excellence and of failure, it is a story too, perhaps, of the fans' quixotic search for a messiah.

The Man Who Was King

A thrilling history of how we fell in and out of love with a technology that changed not just the world, but changed us. 'Science and technology never seem more exciting than when James Gleick is writing about them' - Elizabeth Kolbert, author of The Sixth Extinction 'Forces you to see the world with new eyes. Blending expertise with a thrilling narrative . . . I loved it!' - Alice Loxton, author of Eighteen and Eleanor 'Charts our distance-compressing, time-shifting telephonic adventure with exceptional brio and subtlety' - Stacy Schiff, author of The Revolutionary: Samuel Adams A supernatural instrument bringing voices from afar, the telephone burst onto the world stage 150 years ago, a triumphant story of individual ingenuity and vision. Instantly, the ability to speak across vast distances began to transform every part of life: from business organization to military tactics, from news gathering to sex work. But the story of The Telephone is also one of corrupt scheming and ruthless tactics; the race to the patent office, to make money, a contest replete with bribery, fraud and speculation. And no one, not even its inventors, realised what the telephone was good for or how ubiquitous it would become. As the telephone settled into the background - in offices and on streets, on bedside tables and kitchen walls - people forgot how they ever lived without it. Now, as landlines, telephone books and telephone boxes vanish into the past, bestselling author James Gleick shows how this commonplace object irreversibly changed not only the world but who we are as human beings. 'Gleick does what only the best science writers can do: take a subject of which most of us are only peripherally aware and put it at the center of the universe' - Time

*A TIMES PAPERBACK BESTSELLER* *FOYLES NON-FICTION APRIL BOOK OF THE MONTH* A NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK OF 2025 A TIME MUST-READ BOOK OF 2025 AN AUDIBLE BOOK OF THE YEAR 2025 'Fascinating and powerfully argued' Daily Telegraph 'Blistering' New York Times 'Riveting' Vogue 'Gilbert is a serious and attentive chronicler of a fraught era' Financial Times 'Essential reading' Irish Independent *** Cosmetic surgeries are at an all-time high, Ozempic is bringing back 'heroin chic' and the manosphere on the rise - after four waves of feminism, what went wrong? 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 READER REVIEWS 'I loved this book. It found me in a time I really needed it' 'If you are a living, breathing, human of any gender, this book is eye-opening and important. Just read it' 'The kind of book that will stay with you' 'An absolute powerhouse of a book'

Wie bearbeitet die Polizei Notrufe? Und wie verändert sich der Notruf mit der fortschreitenden Digitalisierung? Philipp Knopp geht diesen Fragen mit dem neuen Konzept der Praxisformanalyse nach. Er verbindet die Ethnografie in Kontrollräumen der Polizei mit Diskursanalysen und zeigt, dass der Notruf ein komplexes Zusammenspiel verschiedener Wissenspraktiken ist.&nbsp;Einsatzannahme und -koordination sind auf ein gemeinsames Bezugsproblem ausgerichtet: Sie vermitteln zwischen der Mobilisierung und der Kontrolle von ziviler Wachsamkeit und polizeilicher Intervention.&nbsp;Medientechnik soll dieses normative Spannungsverhältnis stabilisieren, muss in Prozessen des Wandels aber selbst erst mit den lokalen Praktiken verknüpft und rekonfiguriert werden.

Channeling the subversive and sharp-eyed voice showcased in her popular column for The Cut, Amil Niazi stylishly interrogates the aspirations of young adulthood, early middle age, motherhood, and life after ambition. Building off her wildly popular viral essays “Losing My Ambition” and “The Mindfuck of Mid-Life,” Amil Niazi explores what life looks like “post-ambition.” With sly humor and a deep literary sensibility, she interrogates her own evolving ambitions, and how it intersects with adulthood, motherhood, age, identity, class, and race, and how it has shaped her and a generation of Millennials. And—most importantly—now that she is done with ambition: what happens next? An achingly relatable, intensely funny punch to the gut which reveals that, though we hide them from one another, we all have the same painful bruises. At its core, Losing My Ambition is about optimism—about the joy of choosing something different and the thrill of finding ourselves when we thought all was lost. A whip-smart reimagination of how to live our lives, Losing My Ambition reclaims mediocrity to tell us that it is okay to NOT have ambitions but to try and live a life that is true to who we are.

Life After Ambition

From Hillbilly to Capitol Hill

JD Vance The Biography

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.

Disasters engage with time in diverse ways and cannot be fully understood as events or processes. Tomás Usón explores how time emerges from disastrous encounters. Building on ethnographic research in the Callejón de Huaylas, he analyses how cities in this Peruvian Andean region have responded to and anticipated extreme events over the past century. Inspired by the Quechua word tinkuy, or gathering in difference, this study invites readers to see disasters both as socio-material arrangements and moments where historical figures gather in conflicting ways: a valuable resource for those interested in disasters, memory, science and technology studies, decolonial perspectives and Peruvian history.
