In BLACK MEME, Legacy Russell, awardwinning author of the groundbreaking GLITCH FEMINISM, explores the "meme" as mapped to Black visual culture from 1900 to the present, mining both archival and contemporary media. Russell argues that without the contributions of Black people, digital culture would not exist in its current form. These meditations include the circulation of lynching postcards; why a mother allowed JET magazine to publish a picture of her dead son, Emmett Till; and how the televised broadcast of protesters in Selma changed the debate on civil rights.Questions of the media representation of Blackness come to the fore as Russell considers how citizen-recorded footage of the LAPD beating Rodney King became the first viral video. Why the Anita Hill hearings shed light on the media's creation of the Black icon. The ownership of Black imagery and death is considered in the story of Tamara Lanier's fight to reclaim the daguerreotypes of her enslaved ancestors from Harvard.Meanwhile the live broadcast on Facebook of the murder of Philando Castile by the police after he was stopped for a broken taillight forces us to bear witness to the persistent legacy of the Black meme. Through imagery, memory, and technology, BLACK MEME shows us how images of Blackness have always been central to our understanding of the modern world.

An Instant Sunday Times BestsellerOne of the most anticipated books of 2024 according to The Times, Guardian, Financial Times, New Statesman, The Independent, The Scotsman, Time and moreShouldn't we know what we're arguing about?From one of the most influential thinkers of our time, an enlightening, essential account of how a fear of gender is fuelling reactionary politics around the world Judith Butler, the ground-breaking philosopher whose work has redefined how we think about gender and sexuality, confronts the attacks on gender that have become central to right-wing movements today. Global networks have formed anti-gender ideology movements dedicated to circulating a fantasy that gender is a dangerous threat to families, local cultures, civilization and even man himself. Inflamed by the rhetoric of public figures, this movement has sought to abolish reproductive justice, undermine protections against violence, and strip trans and queer people of their rights.But what, exactly, is so disturbing about gender? In this vital, courageous book, Butler carefully examines how gender has become a phantasm for emerging authoritarian regimes, fascist formations and transexclusionary feminists, and the concrete ways in which this phantasm works. Operating in tandem with deceptive accounts of critical race theory and xenophobic panics about migration, the anti-gender movement demonizes struggles for equality and leaves millions of people vulnerable to subjugation. An essential intervention into one of the most fraught issues of our moment, Who's Afraid of Gender? is a galvanizing call to make a broad coalition with all those who struggle for equality and fight injustice.Imagining new possibilities for freedom and solidarity, Butler offers us an essentially hopeful work that is both timely and timeless.

We already know how much of our data is collected and used to profile and target us. The real question is why, knowing all this, do we keep going back for more? Great book Matt Ridley, author of How Innovation Works Essential reading Pete Etchells, author of Unlocked An urgent must-read Tiffany Jenkins, author and broadcaster, presenter of BBC Radio 4s A History of Secrecy Technology has delivered a world that we expect to revolve around us, our needs and preferences, and our unique personalities. We willingly hand over intimate information about ourselves in return for a world thats easier to navigate. We live in the Personalised Century, where we view ourselves in terms of what rather than who we are the objects of others recognition, rather than the subjects and authors of our own lives. Is this a sign of our shrinking sense of self? Interrogating the historical currents that have brought us here, Harkness envisages a messier, riskier and less comfortable world than the one into which were sliding. Challenging readers to look at whats missing from their personalised menus, Technology is not the Problem encourages us to look afresh at the familiar: not just the technology we use every day, how we relate to the world and those around us.

No puede eludirse, en una colección dedicada al patrimonio tradicional de la Orden Masónica, restar una muy especial atención a la ritualidad de la Institución. El presente volumen está formado por una recopilacion de doce rituales franceses, datados en un periodo que va desde 1740 a 1825. La mayoria de ellos pertenece a lo que se conoce como Rito Frances. Por varias razones, su interes no admite discusion; por un lado forman parte esencial de la herencia simbolica de la Orden, tal como acabamos de señalar; por el otro, al extenderse en un periodo de casi un siglo permite rastrear la adaptacion del ritual al medio en el que se desenvolvia; finalmente, cubren una epoca y un lugar cruciales para entender la configuracion final de lo que acabaria siendo el Rito Escoces Antiguo y Aceptado, el cual sigue siendo la referencia mas importante entre los Rituales Escoceses constituyendo como una sintesis y una estabilizacion, y ademas una de las modalidades rituales mas extendidas de la Masoneria actual. Edicion bilingue y anotada, este cuarto volumen de la coleccion viene a cubrir un aspecto de esencial importancia para el cabal conocimiento del patrimonio de la Orden Masonica.

Alain Touraine es uno de los grandes autores clásicos de la Sociologia actual, cuya obra giró en torno al análisis de las sociedades que él calificaba como posindustriales. Sociedades en las que los movimientos sociales han sido el motor de los cambios acaecidos en este periodo historico. Este libro es el resultado de las valoraciones de algunos de sus discipulos y colaboradores, cuyo proposito ha sido realizar un esbozo historico sobre el trabajo intelectual de este eminente sociologo. En esta breve obra se incluyen los analisis de sociologos como Manuel Castells, Jose Felix Tezanos, Marina Subirats, Michel Wieviorka y Veronica Diaz.

Desde la poderosa irrupción de la historia económica y social, el diálogo entre historiadores y sociólogos ha permitido plantear nuevos problemas y abrir nuevos terrenos al conocimiento y análisis de las sociedades humanas. De ese encuentro proceden dos empresas de distinto alcance y de muy diversas ramificaciones: la historia social y la sociología histórica, dudosas a veces de su identidad y su método pero siempre creativas en su empuje y sus propuestas de investigación.

Este libro reúne los esfuerzos conjuntos de varios investigadores españoles, portugueses y brasileños que analizan las relaciones entre las personas y las cosas a lo largo de la Edad Moderna, y como estas ultimas constituian marcas de distincion, objetoEste libro reúne los esfuerzos conjuntos de varios investigadores españoles, portugueses y brasileños que analizan las relaciones entre las personas y las cosas a lo largo de la Edad Moderna, y como estas ultimas constituian marcas de distincion, objetos de consumo corriente o habitos alimenticios cotidianos. Ahora, ademas de abordar el estudio de los sectores privilegiados, siempre mejor conocidos, se pretende ampliar el marco a un espectro mas diversificado de grupos y ambientes sociales, con la finalidad de comprender las diferencias y semejanzas entre los estratos populares y medios de las sociedades ibericas.Los trabajos presentados parten de una serie de investigaciones en curso, insertas en dos proyectos de trabajo que se dan la mano. Uno realizado en Portugal, en la Universidade do Minho, y el otro en la castellana Universidad de Valladolid. Asi, mas que ofrecer resultados finales, se pretende mostrar lineas de estudio aun en fase de elaboracion, confrontando ambas metodologias y fuentes documentales, al objeto de explorar las diversas opciones abiertas a la hora de abordar estas modernas tematicas de cultura material, consumo y vida domestica.

Hay veces, en el transcurso de la vida, en que ?cae la noche? sobre nuestra mente y nuestro corazón; entonces nos sentimos inmersos en la tristeza, en el dolor, en la depresión. Precisamente en estas horas oscuras es cuando sentimos mas fuerte la necesidad de luz, cuando suspiramos, como el centinela que hace la guardia nocturna, preguntandonos cuanto falta para que amanezca. Abraham, Jose, Samuel, David, Maria, Nicodemo, Pedro, Pablo y los discipulos de Emaus vivieron su noche en algun momento de sus vidas. Jesus, que sufrio el dolor de la incomprension, la soledad, la traicion y el abandono en el momento de su muerte, nos enseño a confiar en quien nos ha creado. El esta dispuesto a abreviar las horas de oscuridad y a entrar en nuestra noche con la luz conmovedora de su amor que nos ayuda a pasar de la noche a la mañana.
