Описание:
In 1980, deconstructive and psychoanalytic literary theorist Barbara Johnson wrote an essay on Mary Shelley for a colloquium on the writings of Jacques Derrida. The essay marked the beginning of Johnson's lifelong interest in Shelley as well as her first foray into the field of "women's studies," one of whose commitments was the rediscovery and analysis of works by women writers previously excluded from the academic canon. Indeed, the last book Johnson completed before her death was Mary Shelley and Her Circle, published here for the first time. Shelley was thus the subject for Johnson's beginning in feminist criticism and also for her end.
It is surprising to recall that when Johnson wrote her essay, only two of Shelley's novels were in print, critics and scholars having mostly dismissed her writing as inferior and her career as a side effect of her famous husband's. Inspired by groundbreaking feminist scholarship of the seventies, Johnson came to pen yet more essays on Shelley over the course of a brilliant but tragically foreshortened career. So much of what we know and think about Mary Shelley today is due to her and a handful of scholars working just decades ago.
In this volume, Judith Butler and Shoshana Felman have united all of Johnson's published and unpublished work on Shelley alongside their own new, insightful pieces of criticism and those of two other peers and fellow pioneers in feminist theory, Mary Wilson Carpenter and Cathy Caruth. The book thus evolves as a conversation amongst key scholars of shared intellectual inclinations while closing the circle on Johnson's life and her own fascination with the life and circle of another woman writer, who, of course, also happened to be the daughter of a founder of modern feminism.

Описание: "Do No Harm" is for people trapped in an addiction and for those who love them. It's also geared for people in the helping professions. Today so many of us struggle with addictive substances and behaviors: illegal or prescription drugs, alcohol, food, gambling, sex, overspending, nicotine, or caffeine. For instance, one out of eight Americans is a heavy drinker or abuses drugs. With the proliferation of mobile phones, Internet addiction has reached epidemic proportions. "Do No Harm" covers all the major addictions. Our culture fosters addictions. Economics is the mark of human achievement. The word "affluenza" ("affluence" and "influenza") refers to the dramatic increase of stress, overwork, and debt from obsessively pursuing the American Dream. Economic pressure, climate change, wars, shootings, terrorism, and assault erode our sense of security. We're becoming more guarded, more disconnected from our surroundings. We use addictions to calm our fears. Most books on addictions deal only with symptoms. "Do No Harm" explores the underlying causes, aiming at total recovery. Understanding the deeper layers of our struggle is necessary for the addiction to lose its hold. Kobrin's approach is holistic, encompassing our whole self and our relationship to self and the world. Kobrin says, "Addictions are an unconscious effort to survive a lack of meaning in ourselves, others, and our lives. We believe we're undeserving and insignificant. I call this belief system 'the Dark Spiral.' When we're lost in its inner emptiness, our lives feel mundane and useless." The antidote for the Dark Spiral is "the Satisfied Soul" - positive connections with our emotions, body, family, relationships, community, vocation, living situation, and our environment. Connecting with the "Inner Core Self" - our authentic self - and what gives meaning to life is vital. Our Satisfied Soul enables mindfulness of the present moment instead of obsessing on past misfortune or anxiety about the future. To change the dysfunctional pattern of an addiction, we need the power and energy of a Satisfied Soul. "Do No Harm" is user-friendly and designed for a quick start. It's divided into three parts. The first part, Overture, outlines and defines the features of an addiction. It includes an overview of the book's basic ideas and concepts. It surveys the most important points of each type of addiction. The second part, Causes, explores underlying factors causing the addiction. Appreciating how and why the addiction developed is vital for releasing guilt and self-blame. There are clear-cut reasons that brought us to this point. Knowing them frees us from the false belief that we're doomed to struggle with the addiction forever and ever. The third and major part of the book, Solutions, offers new concepts and practical tools for recovery. "Do No Harm" contains useful statistics and research. (Readers wishing to focus on the practical side of healing addictions are free to glide over this.) In the text are two types of boxes. One contains points made by a specialist whom Kobrin has interviewed. Each specialist has considerable expertise with a particular addiction and methodology. The other type of box contains vignettes or case histories - vividly written stories that illustrate the text and powerfully aid the healing journey. "Do No Harm" is for those of us wishing for more gratification in life than a double scotch, a hit of coke or nicotine, frosted pastries, excessive texting, casual sex, multiple casino games, perusing catalogs for the latest toy, or numerous cups of joe to keep us going. It's for those of us longing for something deeply satisfying, nourishing, and fulfilling, for discovering unknown aspects of the self - our hidden potential, talents, gifts, and capabilities. Do No Harm gives us permission to step into rich, joyful, and prosperous living. "You contain within you a multitude of gifts to be unwrapped" - Kobrin
Описание: The challenges to humanity posed by the digital future, the first detailed examination of the unprecedented form of power called "surveillance capitalism," and the quest by powerful corporations to predict and control our behavior. Shoshana Zuboff's interdisciplinary breadth and depth enable her to come to grips with the social, political, business, and technological meaning of the changes taking place in our time. We are at a critical juncture in the confrontation between the vast power of giant high-tech companies and government, the hidden economic logic of surveillance capitalism, and the propaganda of machine supremacy that threaten to shape and control human life. Will the brazen new methods of social engineering and behavior modification threaten individual autonomy and democratic rights and introduce extreme new forms of social inequality? Or will the promise of the digital age be one of individual empowerment and democratization? The Age of Surveillance Capitalism is neither a hand-wringing narrative of danger and decline nor a digital fairy tale. Rather, it offers a deeply reasoned and evocative examination of the contests over the next chapter of capitalism that will decide the meaning of information civilization in the twenty-first century. The stark issue at hand is whether we will be the masters of information and machines or its slaves.

Описание:
Questions of gender, race, class, and sexuality have largely been left unexamined in surveillance studies. The contributors to this field-defining collection take up these questions, and in so doing provide new directions for analyzing surveillance. They use feminist theory to expose the ways in which surveillance practices and technologies are tied to systemic forms of discrimination that serve to normalize whiteness, able-bodiedness, capitalism, and heterosexuality. The essays discuss the implications of, among others, patriarchal surveillance in colonial North America, surveillance aimed at curbing the trafficking of women and sex work, women presented as having agency in the creation of the images that display their bodies via social media, full-body airport scanners, and mainstream news media discussion of honor killings in Canada and the concomitant surveillance of Muslim bodies. Rather than rehashing arguments as to whether or not surveillance keeps the state safe, the contributors investigate what constitutes surveillance, who is scrutinized, why, and at what cost. The work fills a gap in feminist scholarship and shows that gender, race, class, and sexuality should be central to any study of surveillance.
