Female 2.0: Transhumanism and the Future of Femininity
Hunty, if you thought the future was wild, wait until you see where transhumanism is taking us! Female 2.0 is here to spill all the futuristic gossip on how technology is reshaping what it means to be feminine, fierce, and fabulously post-human. As we turn the party on biology with cyborg upgrades, gender-fluid avatars, and chic wearable tech, femininity is getting a whole new glow-up that’s ready to break down binaries and push limits. Serving you realness from head to toe (or robo-toe), this book is all about queering the future of identity, smashing stereotypes, and strutting boldly into the unknown. So buckle up, queens and kweens! From gendered AI and the future of beauty to artificia...

Communication as a Life Process, Volume Two
This volume is a collection of texts authored by an international team of linguistic scholars who provide their response to the concept of 21st century holism in language studies. The expertise of its contributors is reflected in the thematic scope of the book; it discusses topics such as the concept of harmony in interpersonal communication, semiotic and cultural phenomena handled by discourse analysis, selected aspects of religious discourse, and the study of proverbs or educational processes, to name but a few. 21st century holism embraces a solid theoretical base in post-Newtonian physics (quantum theory in particular), and departs from materialistic and atomistic perspectives based on Darwinism or cognitivism, however tempted we may be to allow the inertia of these in Western science and culture. Once a scholar decides to shift their paradigmatic perspective, thinking style, and research methodology, they start to co-build a collective mental representation herein referred to as ‘the culture of consciousness’.
Language, Culture and the Dynamics of Age
The book explores the role of age in communication under consideration of various age groups (the elderly, middle-aged, teenagers, children), genres, cultures and languages. The social skewing of the contributions explains the book's focus on discourse-mediated social identities, with age implicated as a viable controller of how social action is strategically deployed for alignment and alienation, accommodation and divergence. The studies in the book show the particular importance of the discursive construction of age in the face of new challenges of globalization, increased human mobility and rising intergenerational conflicts.

Globalization in Southeast Asia
The rapid postwar economic growth in the Southeast Asia region has led to a transformation of many of the societies there, together with the development of new types of anthropological research in the region. Local societies with originally quite different cultures have been incorporated into multi-ethnic states with their own projects of nation-building based on the creation of "national cultures" using these indigenous elements. At the same time, the expansion of international capitalism has led to increasing flows of money, people, languages and cultures across national boundaries, resulting in new hybrid social structures and cultural forms. This book examines the nature of these process...
