Critical Criminological Perspectives

This short book introduces students of criminology to the ‘critical dimension’ of that subject. The focus of this volume is on how the critique proffered in and by ‘critical criminologies’ is itself not above criticism. Indeed, ‘critical criminologies’ would do well to acquire a self-reflective and self-critical attitude towards their own pre-conceptions and the desires that underpin them.&nbsp;
This argument is explored and developed across a number of themes and topics, including: an overview of the basic trends in critical criminology between WW2 and the turn of the century; the most recent splintering within the ‘critical dimension’ of criminology; the problem of criminalization; how power and discourse not only shape and reshape life conditions but also mystify the latter; the structural origins and forms of harm and violence; the continuing search for ‘alternatives’; and finally, the crimes of the powerful. Ultimately, the book debates the multiformity, inescapability and ineradicability of critique in the ‘critical dimension’ of criminology.

Bloomsbury Advances in Semiotics

This book uses semiotics to study the design of a selection of banknotes and coins currently circulating in the American and European continents. &gt;Moreover, it aims to show how currency design is an enunciative praxis and hence, an activity shaped by cultural conventions that can be approached as a specific discursive genre. In a nutshell, the book demonstrates how, beyond their economic function, banknotes and coins serve as the material support for a visual type of cultural semiosis linked to the nation and the state. The units of any currency system can be approached as visual texts expressing contents linked with specific social discourses and ideas. Since these texts are created and regulated by the state, they convey meanings that relate to discourses about statehood and, with it, the nation. Informed by analyses of the United States dollar, the Canadian dollar, the British pound sterling, the Swiss franc, the Brazilian real, the Uruguayan peso, the Argentinean peso and the euro, the book highlights the relevance of studying currency design in the scholarly efforts to understand the discursive construction of states and nations.

Genders and Sexualities in the Social Sciences

This edited volume is a decolonial/deconstructive approach to South Asian gender and sexuality studies, which it reimagines through a pluralized, multivariate lens. New understandings of South Asia have emerged during the time of unrest and shifting geopolitics. It is critical to re-envision gender engagements in ways that decenter universalizing hegemonic feminist debates, both from global and national metropole and instead rearticulate gender and sexuality through critical regionalism, border-politics, land and social movements, indigeneity, law and jurisprudence and broader social textuality. Building bridges across disciplines and between scholars and activists, the chapters in the book offer perspectives from the humanities, social sciences, public health, international relations and law, as well as organizers and advocates committed to women and gender studies.

New Gender Politics in South Asia

In this ambitious and groundbreaking history of the dollar, financial journalist and economic scholar Brendan Greeley makes a new argument about the origins of our money—and the people and nations who have surrendered to it. “Eye-opening, educational, exhaustively reported, and very fun to read.”—Foreign Policy America’s money is global money—nearly every nation in the world writes international contracts in dollars, and in 2023, central banks around the world held nearly $6.7 trillion in dollar reserves, three times any other currency. Today, the United States’ global hegemony rests largely on its ability to produce unlimited treasury bonds that are sold around the world, dollars that supported America’s explosive growth in the twentieth century and funded its massive wars in the twenty-first. American power and the American dollar have become synonymous. Yet in this brilliant 500-year history, Brendan Greeley argues that America’s sovereignty over the dollar is an illusion—that the dollar had already empowered and destroyed nations long before it washed up on colonial shores, and that no country or king has or can ever truly control it. Reaching back to the dollar’s birth as the taler in the 15th-century silver mines of St. Joachimsthal, Greeley reveals how the dollar first thrived as a commodity for merchants and bankers—a big, silver coin that was trusted around the world, even as the miners who pulled it from the ground had trouble getting paid in that same silver. Greeley traces a captivatingly complex path across time and place, from the industrial collapse at the heart of Spain’s 17th-century silver empire, to the birth of American paper dollars in colonial Maryland, 19th-century New Orleans bank failures, and the small town of Hawarden, Iowa, which created its own dollars during the Great Depression. At every surprising turn, Greeley upends assumptions about global currencies and draws out the centuries-old tension between how dollars are manufactured and whom they actually serve. Singular in its breadth, The Almighty Dollar dismantles the myth that America created or has ever truly controlled the dollar. Through meticulous research and vividly rendered stories of merchants, monarchs, and everyday people both past and present, Greeley shows how the dollar became America’s greatest export, spawning a vast financial industry that enriches the wealthy, even as the rest of the country’s industries suffer.

In this ambitious and groundbreaking history of the dollar, financial journalist and economic scholar Brendan Greeley makes a new argument about the origins of our money—and the people and nations who have surrendered to it. “Brimming with startling details, this is also serious financial history with a conclusion ripe for our unsettled times: Rulers and borders come and go, but the dollar has outlasted our illusions of sovereignty and control.”—Evan Osnos, author of The Haves and Have-Yachts America’s money is global money—nearly every nation in the world writes international contracts in dollars, and in 2023, central banks around the world held nearly $6.7 trillion in dollar reserves, three times any other currency.

Schriften zur Kritischen Lebenskunst

Der Band stellt bedeutsame philosophische Werke seit dem Zweiten Weltkrieg vor, die ein gelingendes Leben in kritischer Perspektive thematisieren. Er repräsentiert dabei ein breites Feld philosophischer Herangehensweisen. Die hier vorgestellten Werke nehmen in der jeweiligen historisch-kulturellen Situation in den Blick, warum es schwierig, wenn nicht sogar unmöglich ist, ein gelungenes Leben zu führen. Aus individuellen, sozialen und kulturellen Problematiken, Krisen und Schwierigkeiten heraus werden in ihnen Überlegungen für ein Leben entwickelt, das als ,gelungen‘ und ,bejahenswert‘ bezeichnet werden kann.Band II: Schlüsselwerke der Kritischen Lebenskunst II. Von Simone de Beauvoir bis Irvin D. Yalom

Der erste Band zu den Schlüsselwerken Kritischer Lebenskunst enthält 19 wichtige Werke der Philosophie seit dem Zweiten Weltkrieg und repräsentiert ein breites Feld philosophischer Herangehensweisen. So kommen dabei etwa Theodor W. Adornos Minima Moralia ebenso zur Sprache wie Wilhelm Schmids 
 Philosophie der Lebenskunst
 und Corine Pelluchons 
 Das Zeitalter des Lebendigen. 
 In den einzelnen Texten wird die Bedeutung des jeweiligen Werkes und seine kritische Funktion für die Lebenskunst geklärt.
 Kritische Lebenskunst muss im hohen Maße vor dem Hintergrund einer historisch-kulturellen Ausgangslage verstanden werden, in der ökonomische, politische, soziale, ökologische und kulturelle Zusammenhänge eine wichtige und problematische Rolle spielen. Gerade die seit dem Zweiten Weltkrieg immer wieder auftauchenden Krisensituationen, die sich in der Politik, in ökonomischen Schieflagen, sozialen Ungleichheiten, ökologischen Katastrophen und kulturell beschleunigten Entwicklungen niederschlagen, fordern die Lebenskunst der Philosophie auf, kritische Analyseformen zu entwickeln, potentielle Orientierungshilfen vorzuschlagen und konkrete Handlungsmöglichkeiten zu entwickeln. Schlüsselwerke einer Kritischen Lebenskunst der Philosophie nehmen in der jeweiligen historisch-kulturellen Situation in den Blick, was es schwierig, wenn nicht unmöglich macht, ein gelungenes Leben zu führen. Und sie entwickeln aus individuellen, sozialen und kulturellen Problematiken, Krisen und Schwierigkeiten heraus Überlegungen für ein Leben, das als ,gelungen‘ und ,bejahenswert‘ bezeichnet werden kann.Siehe auch Band II zu wichtigen Werken der Humanwissenschaften (Von Simone de Beauvoir bis Irvin D. Yalom) in derselben Reihe.

Strategic lessons for monetary policy from the last two tumultuous decades based on insights from Sun Tzu, the Chinese philosopher and author of The Art of War. When central banks were forced to innovate and develop a multifaceted set of new weapons in response to the 2008 global financial crisis and 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, the result was a substantial expansion in their authority and reach. In The Art of Monetary Policy, Kristin Forbes draws lessons for monetary policy of the last two decades from the principles of Sun Tzu, the author of The Art of War, a Chinese philosopher and military strategist from the fifth century BC. Tzu proposed several key principles for success—tenets that apply to monetary policy and the battlefield today: (1) plan in advance for the next battle; (2) accept and adapt to the inevitability of powerful, external shocks outside your control; (3) establish a strong tactical position; (4) develop a variety of weapons that can be combined for different maneuvers and situations; (5) maintain flexibility so that you can quickly modify your strategy; and (6) consider the longer-term costs when evaluating the trade-offs of different approaches. These principles provide insights into what central banks did (and did not) do well over the last two decades, as well as how they should deploy interest rates, balance sheets, emergency support programs, forward guidance, and macroprudential tools in the future. While the optimal strategy in both war and monetary policy is more of an “art” than a science, adopting these principles can improve our ability to battle the next crisis and build more resilient economies during peaceful periods.
