Todos los hombres sois iguales. Esta es una frase que, a veces, utilizamos las mujeres cuando nos dirigimos a un hombre, sobre todo, si estamos enfadadas con él. Pero no es cierta, porque cada uno de ellos es distinto a los demas por eso las palabras que podrian definirlos son infinitas.En este libro encontraras a cincuenta y seis hombres, todos diferentes, cada uno con sus propias peculiaridades. Los hay apasionados, divertidos, astutos, incluso asesinos. Casualmente, son las mismas caract

I tore through the pages. A book I''ll read over and over again'' CANDICE CARTY-WILLIAMS ''Illuminating'' OBSERVER We''ve all had our share of mould, dodgy landlords and awkward house shares. But Kieran Yates has had more than most: by the age of twenty-five she''d lived in twenty different houses across the country. In her coming-of-age memoir, she charts the heartbreaks and joys of a life spent searching for home. Sparkling with warmth and wit, this is a story of finding beauty in our interiors, friendships in cramped flats, and home even in the most fragile circumstances. All the Houses Ive Ever Lived In is at once a rallying cry for change and a love letter to home in all its forms. ''A beautiful exposition of home. Stunning'' BOLU BABALOLA So incisive its hard to put down PANDORA SYKES Yates manages the unthinkable: she makes the housing crisis funnyi

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.

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.

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.

La búsqueda de paralelismos y puntos comunes en los conflictos violentos que se producen en ciertos barrios de nuestras ciudades ha llevado al desarrollo de una corriente de estudio, que surgió la sociologia urbana, la sociologia del conflicto y la conflictologia, conocida como TMR o Teoria de los Marcos de Ruptura. Esta metodologia aborda desde una perspectiva tridimensional el estudio de los conflictos: socioeconomica, etnocultural y politico-institucional y permite entender mejor las causas de estos disturbios que han marcado con sangre y fuego los barrios de estas ciudades. En la esta obra se analizan tres casos de estallidos sociales: Los Angeles 1992, Paris 2005, y El Ejido 2000.

"El presente texto es un esfuerzo por adentrarse, desde otra perspectiva, en el tema carcelario y penitenciario del control y del dominio. Configura un trabajo sistemático por evidenciar posibilidades, resistencias y fugas, no solo al sometimiento producto de las rejas y los calabozos, de las celdas y los barrotes, sino tambien al tiempo muerto en prision, a la normalizacion y al panoptico global.Se plantea tambien un estudios sobre el metabolismo de las organizaciones de presos politicos, sus lineas de fuga, sus mapas, muchos de ellos como nuevas conexiones de alteridad, como grupos micropoliticos con capacidad, incluso, de transformaciones macro y desbordantes de los escenarios de sujecion."
