With the message that everything in a sense is alive, thus allowing us to join forces with new politico-ethical communities stretching across human and nonhuman realms, the new materialisms have captivated the minds of many academics, artists, and intellectuals by stressing that it is time to return to a premodern mindset and discard modernity and its concepts of secularization, autonomy, and finitude. The Embarrassment of Being Human not only demonstrates how these magical materialisms are beset by grave theoretical and practical inconsistencies and self-contradictions. It also demonstrates how their demand for humans to step down and allow for an emancipation of things qualifies the new materialisms as a metaphysics of neoliberalism that reproduces and fortifies the self-contradictions rampant in the current neoliberal hegemony. While helping us to gain a comprehensive understanding of the tenets of the eerie ills of our epoch, the critique of the new materialisms can furthermore inspire us to appreciate how the exact inversion of the new materialist complex amounts to a revitalization of the modern project. A revitalization that is critical to think our epoch differently.
This timely Handbook brings innovative, free-thinking and radical approaches to research methods in environmental law. With a comprehensive approach it brings together key concepts such as sustainability, climate change, activism, education and Actor-Network Theory. It considers how the Anthropocene subjects environmental law to critique, and to the needs of the variety of bodies, human and non-human, that require its protection. This much-needed book provides a theoretically informed analysis of methodological approaches in the discipline, such as constitutional analysis, rights-based approaches, spatial/geographical analysis, immersive methodologies and autoethnography, which will aid in the practical critique and re-imagining of Environmental Law.
An electrifying story about love and new life from the international phenomenon, Karl Ove Knausgaard. * Karl Ove Knausgaard's dazzling new novel, The Morning Star, is available to pre-order now * This is a book about leaving your wife and everything you know. It is about fresh starts, about love, about friendship. It is also about the earth-shattering experience of becoming a father, the mundane struggles of family life, ridiculously unsuccessful holidays, humiliating antenatal music classes, fights with quarrelsome neighbours, the emotional strains of childrens' birthday parties and pushing a pram around Stockholm when all you really want to do is write. This is a book about one man's life but, somehow, about everyone else's too. 'Compelling, rewarding...breathtaking' Observer
Andra delen av Karl Ove Knausgårds mäktiga autofiktiva roman Min kamp är en studie i extremrealism genom blottläggandet av vardagligheter, av utanförskap och av självförödmjukelsens yttersta fascination. Fadersporträttet i första delen är här utbytt mot ett kompromisslöst sökande efter kärlek och vänskap. I centrum står också det egna författarskapet och konsekvenserna av att lämna Norge för en svensk anonymitet. Hela tiden finns där den öppna blicken på den egna kärnfamiljen och faderskapet, men också på det nya hemlandet Sveriges nästintill skrattretande konformitet och konflikträdsla. Familjen och författandet ställs på så sätt mot varandra i ett försök...

Våren 2011 bombet Norge Libya. Samtidig drev Henrik Thune og noen få norske diplomater i all hemmelighet et intenst arbeid for å stoppe krigen. Strengt fortrolig gir et enestående innblikk i krig og fred fra et sted vi sjelden har tilgang til. I boken er vi til stede i Tripoli når diktator Gaddafis sønn får vite at Libya skal bli bombet. Vi er til stede i Paris når utenriksminister Jonas Gahr Støre innser at stormaktene som fører an i krigen ikke har noe ønske om å forhandle om fred. Og i Istanbul når amerikanske diplomater gir slipp på siste mulighet til å samtale med Gaddafis regime. Fra innsiden får vi en beretning om hvordan historien om det nå ødelagte Libya kunne tatt en annen retning. En beretning som er spennende som en thriller, og gir unik innsikt i hvordan norsk fredsdiplomati utøves.

Hva gjør den digitale medierevolusjonen med demokratiet? Hva gjør den med politikerne, og fremtiden? I dette skarpe politiske essayet tar Henrik Thune leseren med inni den akselererende nyhetsvirkeligheten vi alle gjenkjenner hver eneste dag som en kontinuerlig, virvlende flod av stadig skiftende og suggererende overskrifter, politiske dramaer, skandaler, meninger, twittermeldinger, likes, blogger, Vines, Snapshots, SMS-er, bilder og YouTube-snutter via digitale nettsider, lesebrett, smarttelefoner, datamaskiner, radioer, Apper eller TV-skjermer. Vi lever i en verden der vi som samfunn er mer, og raskere, informert enn noen gang tidligere i historien. Samtidig befinner vi oss i en tid der ...
