Right now, someone, somewhere is being cancelled. Off-the-cuff tweets or "harmless" office banter have the potential to wreck lives. The Left condemns the Right and the bigotry of the old elites. The Right complains about brain-dead political correctness. In reality, both sides are colluding in a reactionary politics that is as self-defeating as it is divisive. Can the Left escape this extremism and stay true to the progressive ideals it once professed? In this provocative book, Umut Özkýrýmlý reveals how the Left has been sucked into a spiral of toxic hatred and outrage-mongering, retreating from the democratic ideals of freedom and pluralism that it purports to represent. Exploring the similarities between right-wing populism and radical identity politics, he sets out an alternative vision. It is only by focusing on our common humanity and working across differences that the Left will find a constructive and consensual way back from "woke".
This book offers a comparative analysis of British Army Unit War Diaries in the two World Wars, to reveal the role played by previously unnoticed technologies in shaping the archival records of war.

"Zarah är en kvinna av format. Inte bara är hennes stämma kraftfull och hennes gester de största i världen, också hennes skämtlynne har präktiga proportioner." -tBarbro Hähnel Zarah Leander gjorde sig känd för sin unika röst och genomträngande karisma. Hennes schlagerrepertoar, dramatik och stjärnglans gjorde henne till både diva och kulturell gayikon. "Kan kärlek vara en synd" sjöng hon i Västberlin under en tid då offentligt uppvisande av kärlek mellan samkönade par kunde leda till fängelsestraff. I Bögarnas Zarah reflekterar Tiina Rosenberg kring Leanders ikonicitet, divastatus, och tid som Tysklands starkast lysande stjärna under Andra världskriget. Detta utgör grunden för en mer omfattande genusanalys av divafenomenet i den manliga gaykulturen. Tiina Rosenberg är professor i teatervetenskap vid Stockholms universitet. Sedan debuten med Byxbegär (2000) har hon gett ut ett tiotal böcker berörande ämnen som feminism, queerteori, konst och teater.
