Politics Without Politicians

The Case for Citizen Rule

This book is arguably the definitive guide to understanding consumerism as a way of life in the twenty-first century. In his dazzlingly original and accessible introduction to the field, Mark Davis takes the reader on a tour of major theories of consumerism to show how they each offer enlightenment in our dark times of social, economic, and environmental crises.

A Critical Introduction

Consumer Culture and Society

A vast and fascinating chronicle of how gender and sexuality has been used to divide people around the world over the last fifty years &gt;"New movements are alive and moving in the world. Human beings in struggle are creating new feminisms, changing sexualities, and defying genocide. Hope stalks the heart. We have written this book for these new movements." --from the introduction The Sexual Politics of Capitalism offers a groundbreaking examination of how the global elite has used gender, sexuality, and violence to maintain control. Anthropologist Nancy Lindisfarne and writer Jonathan Neale trace the devastating effects of these tactics, showing how issues of gender and sexuality have been weaponized, especially since the 1980s, to make inequality appear inevitable, keeping the powerful in power and the marginalized fighting for survival. Spanning the globe, Lindisfarne and Neale explore the lived experiences of those on the front lines of this struggle. From mass incarceration in the United States to the resilience of queer communities in China, from Black women's battles for AIDS medication in South Africa to the fight against toxic masculinity in world leaders like Putin, Modi, Trump, and Netanyahu, this book provides a sweeping yet deeply personal account of resistance. The authors draw connections between diverse movements--union women in Nicaragua, farmers' widows in India, and bar workers in Vietnam--showing how global forces of capitalism exploit gender and sexuality to maintain power. At the same time, The Sexual Politics of Capitalism shines a light on the ongoing revolts against sexual harassment, rape, and reproductive injustice, as well as the fight for trans rights in the United States. With meticulous research and a passionate call for change, The Sexual Politics of Capitalism is more than a history--it is a manifesto for liberation. The authors invite readers to feel the grief and rage sparked by decades of oppression but also the solidarity and hope inspired by the global movements rising up in response. This radical work challenges us to confront the intimate and structural forces shaping our world and to join the fight for a more just and equitable future.

Neoliberal Strategy and the Politics of the Enemy

The Choice of Civil War

An analysis and guide on when institutions should take stances on public issues.Universities and colleges face increasing pressure to speak out on today's most contentious political, moral, and social issues. But when should an institution of higher learning take a stand--and when is silence the wiser choice? In The University's Voice, Steven G. Poskanzer offers a timely and practical guide for institutional leaders grappling with these high-stakes questions.With decades of experience as a college president, Poskanzer examines the growing demands for universities to take official positions on matters ranging from climate change to global conflicts, to current debates over public policy. He argues that universities must be faithful to and focused upon their core mission--advancing knowledge and learning--while carefully navigating the fragile "social compact" between academia and broader society. At the heart of his argument is the "General Rule of Reticence," a principle that universities should be circumspect about adopting institutional positions unless doing so is essential to the pursuit of their mission, including safeguarding academic freedom. But reticence does not mean cowed silence. Poskanzer outlines clear, actionable criteria for when universities can and even must speak out: when they possess unique educational expertise to offer; when speech will ensure a robust intellectual environment for faculty and students; when their mission is at issue; or when their very existence is at risk.This nuanced framework encourages academic leaders to respond thoughtfully to internal and external pressures to take stances without compromising the long-term integrity of their institutions. The University's Voice offers essential guidance for faculty and administrators as well as leaders of other mission-driven organizations and policymakers on how to balance principled silence with purposeful speech in an increasingly polarized world.

This book examines the role of open-source technologies and the digital commons in fostering a cooperative economy. Through case studies such as Open Food Network and CoopCycle, it explores grassroots innovation and platform cooperativism as pathways toward a sustainable, post-capitalist economic model.

The Model of Open Cooperativism

Routledge Advances in Democratic Theory

Art’s obsession with politics is a problem, even a paradox. The more art there is, the less it shares with the political. Even the radical character of contemporary artistic practices revolves around the idea that there are no alternatives to liberal democracy and capitalist pluralism without risking another dystopia – a paradigm that, in the artistic realm, is articulated as the opposition between modernism and postmodernism. Indeed, with three recent transformations of our understanding; of emancipatory politics; the nature of aesthetics; and the post-Fordist transformation of capitalism, many argue that we overcome the fundamental challenges of aesthetic and political modernities and encounter ‘things’ beyond power relations and beyond aesthetics. However, even at its most creative, art has more in common with hegemony than capitalism. At every hegemonic turn, artwork is directed against itself, only to reinstate another art form in order to continue. This book looks at the problem of hegemony from an aesthetical perspective and argues that there is a ‘hegemonic trap’ pointing us in the direction of the alteration rather than alternative. Julia Svetlichnaja asks: Can art become hegemony? What is proposed is not Paolo Virno's ‘exit', it is the ‘exit’ from thinking about the ‘world-making’ in terms of alternative. What if instead of searching for alternatives we perform an alteration and pluralise modernism? The aesthetic project of the alteration of hegemony through the pluralisation of modernism does not represent hope for a better, different, political order but a space for problematisation, overlapping and contaminations of a number of social orders. The idea is to think about the world not in terms of ‘alternatives,’ but in terms of their absence.

Towards Plural Hegemony

The Art of Democracy

What would the world look like if we couldn’t express outrage against the things we disagree with or support the changes we seek?Rivers that don’t catch fire. The choice to marry who we love. Clean air and water. Even weekends off. Peaceful protest—which, in the U.S. as in many other countries around the world, is protected as a crucial part of an inclusive, thriving participatory democracy – helped bring about each of these victories. Free speech, dissent, and public mobilization are essential tools for advancing so many causes, including environmental protection, workers’ rights, human rights, self-determination, and climate, social, and racial justice.Though protest has brought so much progress — or maybe because of it — the right to speak freely, dissent, and even do basic public outreach and organizing, is increasingly under attack. We have come to expect crackdowns in authoritarian countries, but anti-protest sentiment is spreading in established democracies as well. Activists are being vilified, retaliated against, and even criminalized. In the U.S., anti-protest laws have been enacted in 49 states. SLAPP suits – meritless legal action taken to silence dissent -- are on the rise. New legal concepts, such as “negligent protest,” are being used to hold organizers liable for damages. At the same time, violent actions taken by anti-democratic forces have been reframed and pardoned.Our right to peaceful protest is under attack, and we must act now!Protest! A Tribute and a Call to Action&nbsp;presents a clear understanding and appreciation of the critical role peaceful activism has always played in advancing public good, and to spotlight the need to safeguard this democratic right. The book describes more than 40 iconic, inspiring campaigns from around the world. Photos, artifacts, inspiring quotes, and more make this a compelling testament to the power of public dissent. Guest essays from leaders such as Jane Fonda, Tennessee Representative Justin Pearson, Dolores Huerta, Nemonte Nenquino, and others reveal the role that protest has played in their commitment to fight for change. This book, through storytelling and first-hand reflection, encourages readers to themselves engage in peaceful activism — right here, right now.
