Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - What does it mean to call something 'new' Why is Western art and culture, even after postmodernism, still so obsessed with the concept What are the consequences of relying on culture to bring about social change In this provocative book, David Balzer argues that Western culture was never designed to produce truly new or original artefacts. Rather, we move from fixation to fixation, trend to trend-a cycle of creation and destruction with deep origins in Judeo-Christianity and the paganism that preceded it. The culture industry promises its own form of change while preserving existing systems of power exactly as they are.From the New Jerusalem to the New Left, from Vannevar Bush to Kate Bush, This is Not New asks difficult questions about the role of culture not in making change, but in delaying-even preventing-it.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Extraordinary . makes sense of the ongoing racial reconstructionist moment' - Dylan Rodríguez, author of White ReconstructionIn the words of Robin D.G. Kelley, 'anti-wokeness is the perfect example of the functioning of the racial regime.' Taking the reader beyond the distracting framings of culture wars and moral panics, Alana Lentin shows how the attacks on Black, Indigenous and anticolonial thought and praxis reveal the processes through which racial colonial rule is ideologically resecured.The often chaotic and contradictory restitching of the racial regime is traced through the attacks on Critical Race Theory; the 'whitelash' against the teaching of histories of slavery and colonialism; the counterinsurgent capture and institutionalisation of antiracism, Indigeneity and decoloniality in the interests of Zionism, settler colonialism, and imperialism; and the ways that the state mandated 'war on antisemitism' reforms white supremacism in a time of genocide.While the racial regime undergoes constant recalibration, its inherent instability is the consequence of continual resistance from below. Maintaining and deepening that resistance is vital at a time of rapidly mounting fascism.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - \*\*\*Shortlisted for the Deutscher Memorial Prize 2025\*\*\*'A remarkable contribution from one of the leading social scientists of gender, care and migration in Europe' - Rhacel Salazar Parreñas, Princeton UniversityWhat is it like to care for another family, while yours remains in a different country In today's capitalist society, migrant women performing care work in private households experience the painful tension of caring for both, often under precarious conditions.Characterised as the 'backstage' family, the carer's remote relationship with their loved ones at home is often purely digital, with the double dilemmas of migrant motherhood and stay-behind fathers - exposing the pitfalls of transnational employment relations and the growth of social inequality.Here, Helma Lutz explores the debates around this issue, focusing on carers from Eastern Europe working in the West. She unpacks questions around feminist critiques of capitalism and the commodification of emotional labour, exploring how gender justice and the search for socialist feminist utopias can shape how we see a future - not only for the improvement of the carers' working and living conditions but also for a new way of dealing with care work. …
