</p><div>Human history is a history of individuals - of kings and queens, of leaders and thinkers and of the many individuals who struggle, work hard and find their paths in life. It is also the history of individuation, understood as a continuous search for autonomy, self-affirmation and the achievement of personal goals. But today, this process of individuation is coming to an end and morphing into its opposite - disindividuation. The individual is giving way to the progressive loss of individuality and social life is turning into the society of "dividuals" - that is, beings who are becoming unaware of their uniqueness and who are losing their sense of self.&nbsp;</div> <div>&nbsp;</div> <div>The main driver of this process is technology. The more that individuals rely on technological devices to fill the social void and mitigate loneliness, the more they are recognized not so much for themselves but as the bearers of the devices that contain all the information necessary for their identity: images, texts and the digital traces of earlier exchanges. Individuals increasingly renounce their privacy, sharing it with a device that becomes an integral part of themselves. Deprived of uniqueness, the dividual is a lonely being who no longer has the ability to relate effectively to others and to external reality. We move towards a future without hope, immersed in the ever-innovative flow of information on screens, content to survive the present, as if nothing mattered.</div> <div>Human history is a history of individuals - of kings and queens, of leaders and thinkers and of the many individuals who struggle, work hard and find their paths in life.

</p><p><b>The acclaimed Top 10 <i>Sunday Times</i> bestseller on our search for love<br><br></b><br><i>'Uncommonly wise and honest. Love in Exile flooded me with a sense of continuity and hope. A masterpiece, from start to finish' </i>- Maggie Nelson<br><br>Shon Faye grew up quietly obsessed with the feeling that love was not for her. Not just romantic love: the secret fear of her own unworthiness penetrated every aspect and corner of her life. It was a fear that would erupt in destructive, counterfeit versions of the real love she craved: addictions and short-lived romances that were either euphoric and fantastical, or excruciatingly painful and unhinged, often both. Faye's experience of the world as a trans woman, who grew up visibly queer, exacerbated her fears. But, as she confronted her damaging ideas about love and lovelessness, she came to realize that this sense of exclusion is symptomatic of a much larger problem in our culture.<br><br>Love, she argues, is as much a collective question as a personal one. Yet our collective ideals of love have developed in a society which is itself profoundly sick and loveless; in which consumer capitalism sells us ever new, engrossing fantasies of becoming more loved or lovable. In this highly politicized terrain, boundaries are purposefully drawn to keep some in and to keep others out. Those who exist outside them are ignored, denigrated, exiled.<br><br>In <i>Love in Exile</i>, Shon Faye shows love is much greater than the narrow ideals we have been taught to crave so desperately that we are willing to bend and break ourselves to fit them. Wise, funny, unsparing, and suffused with a radical clarity, this is a book of and for our times: for seeing and knowing love, in whatever form it takes, is the meaning of life itself.<br></p><p></p>

</p><p>First published in 1976, <i>The Worker Directors: A Sociology of Participation</i> offers an exploration of industrial democracy and the role of worker participation in corporate decision-making. Drawing on extensive research and case studies, the authors delve into the emergence and implementation of worker-director schemes, with a particular focus on the British steel industry during a period of significant economic and social change.</p><p>The book examines the evolution of participation in the 1960s, the challenges of organizational adjustment, and the dynamics of worker representation at the boardroom level. Through detailed analysis, the authors provide a nuanced understanding of the experiences, challenges, and contributions of worker directors, while also situating their findings within a broader European context. With its rich sociological insights and practical implications, <i>The Worker Directors</i> remains a seminal work for those interested in industrial relations, organizational change, and the sociology of work.</p><p></p>

</p><p>As one of the key thinkers of social theory, public relations scholars have repeatedly turned to Habermas' work to inform their own scholarship. This book systematically reviews the distinct body of PR literature that has applied Habermas' theories to provide an in-depth and nuanced discussion on what this influential social theorist has to offer PR research. Demonstrating the applications and challenges for PR ethics and organizational communications, while opening less well-known concepts such as reflexivity, and double politics as avenues for future research, this unique source book will be of interest to all scholar and advanced students of public relations and communication studies.</p><p></p>

This book systematically reviews the body of public relations and communication literature that has applied Habermas’ theories for the first time, to provide an extensive and nuanced discussion on what one of the most influential social theorists has to offer public relations research. </p><p>Taking concepts from seminal works such as the <i>Theory of Communicative Action</i> and the <i>Structural Transformation of the Public Sphere</i>, this book explores applications of Habermas’ concepts. It confronts conflicts with Habermas’ critical understanding of public relations as moral communication, and explores indepth the concepts of moral justification and differentiation of lifeworld and system for their potential for PR research and practice. </p><p>Demonstrating the applications and challenges for public relations ethics, and organizational communications while opening less well-known concepts such as reflexivity, crisis consciousness, and double politics as avenues for future research, this book will help public relations researchers harness the potential of Habermas’ methodological tools.

This book was written by more than 90 authors from 26 countries, bringing diverse perspectives on global health partnerships' past, present, and future. Although many of the chapters use examples related to infectious diseases, the ideas in this book are relevant to the broader field of global health research and practice.

This book is organized into three sections, broadly related to foundational concepts, present experiences (case studies), and future visions.The first section focuses on the historical colonial legacy of global health and the foundations needed for equitable partnerships, introducing key themes explored throughout the book. These include concepts related to decolonization, ethics, gender, systems approaches and transdisciplinary science, Planetary Health, One Health, team science, and communication. The book's second section draws on case studies of global health partnerships to understand where we are today in global health. Authors share their experiences responding to global health threats, including disease outbreaks, refugee health, stigma, and sexually transmitted diseases, and post-disaster community recovery. The book's third section articulates a new vision for global health partnerships to co-create a more peaceful, equitable, and loving world.

Gesundheit, Kommunikation und Gesellschaft


<p>
Die Public Health Humanities verstehen Gesundheit und Krankheit als kulturell und sozial geprägte Phänomene. Sie ergänzen die empirisch orientierte Multidisziplin Public Health um geisteswissenschaftliche und künstlerische Perspektiven. Dabei fragen sie nach der Bedeutung des Künstlerischen für die Gesundheit, interessieren sich für moralische, soziale und kulturelle Dimensionen von Gesundheit und Krankheit in Kunst bzw. Medien und bieten theoretische Zugänge für gesundheitliche Analysen an. Bezugsdisziplinen sind u.a. Kunst-, Kultur- und Medienwissenschaften, Philosophie und Geschichte. Die Beiträger*innen leuchten das Spektrum unterschiedlicher Perspektiven und Zugänge der Public Health Humanities erstmals auf Deutsch aus.</p>

</p><p>Modern life is speeding up, constantly. While the art of saving time reaches unprecedented heights through the introduction of ever-new technologies of communication and production, it nevertheless feels as though we are running out of time. In all Western societies, time scarcity is increasing and individuals report the impression of having to run faster and faster every year - not in order to get somewhere, but just to stay where they are.<br><br>In this short book Hartmut Rosa outlines his theory of social acceleration and uses it to analyze the causes and consequences of the temporal processes that characterize modern societies. He shows that modern temporal structures are governed by the logic of an acceleration process that defines the essence of modernity. He also develops a critical theory of social acceleration, arguing that acceleration leads to severe forms of alienation from time and space, from things and actions and from self and others, thus constituting a key obstacle to the realization of a 'good life' in late-modern society.</p><p></p>

Housing is more than bricks and mortar. <i>Feeling at Home </i>grapples with the practical and emotional questions of housing – domestic labour, privacy, security, ownership, and health. Is it possible to imagine success without home ownership? Alva Gotby shows that solving the housing crisis is about much more than housing stock. It means revolutionising our everyday lives and labours.</p>

<p>This book is concerned with the practical, ethical and political realities of critical research around state punishment. By definition, critical research is a dynamic and political process which recognizes the broad structural contexts within which human action takes place. Critical researchers argue for a more dynamic and reflexive approach to research, and have duties to expose oppressive structures and practices, make audible voices that are habitually silenced, and empower and emancipate marginalized groups and individuals. </p><p>Based on a series of interviews conducted with researchers within and outside of academia, this book aims to capture the personal challenges, ethical dilemmas, practical obstacles, positive rewards and (potential or actual) harmful effects of undertaking critical research concerned with state punishment. It will also explore the different mediums used to disseminate research findings and how such findings are received by peers, the public and the state.</p><p><em>Researching Punishment</em> is essential reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students of criminology, media, sociology, journalism, film studies, and cultural studies. </p>
