The Mechanisms of Agile Management
This book is about the underlying mechanisms of agile management that control work processes in the context of industrial tech development. It challenges commonly held beliefs in adaptability, collaboration and flattened hierarchies claimed to be achieved by agile approaches. In asking how these promises are put into practice, this book offers novel insights into how work is controlled in times of increasing flexibility and constant change in the world of work and management. Through a rich analysis of a case study in industrial tech companies, Klara‐Aylin Wenten argues that agility is deeply entrenched in ambivalences ranging between planning and improvising, caring and exploiting, intima...
Workers and Margins
This book focuses on informal workers and margins and seeks to advance the discourse on the concepts of ‘work’, ‘workers’ and ‘margins’. By largely focusing on informal, non-formal and non-industrial sector workers where unionism, collective bargaining, and labour laws have little influence, the book promotes approaches to understanding alternate worker politics and organising practices. As such, it presents an alternative to conventional approaches to understanding workers in management and organisation studies. The book draws attention to the mechanisms of erasure implicit in disciplinary and governmental practices that allow the worker to remain invisible. By making the worker...
Michel Foucault: A Research Companion
Michel Foucault continues to be hugely influential. His diagnoses challenge us to rethink crucial phenomena such as madness, discipline, the human sciences, the state, neoliberalism, sexuality and subject formation. Based on his work in its entirety, and with special emphasis on his many recently published lecture series, this book provides an updated, comprehensive and original account of his thought. By reading Foucault as a philosopher, it offers an extensive systematic assessment and discussion of his unique conception of philosophical practice and brings a unifying trajectory in his work to light.
O hospício da praia vermelha
Os pesquisadores Ana Teresa Venancio e Allister Dias se cercaram de um grupo seleto e muito rico de especialistas para levar a cabo um de esses trabalhos específicos e concretos. Esta história do Hospital Nacional de Alienados (anteriormente Hospício de Pedro II), assim como trabalhos prévios de alguns dos autores participantes, situa-se em uma linha de investigação com repercussão internacional. Como os próprios coordenadores do livro indicam, a emblemática instituição brasileira já tem sido objeto de numerosos estudos, mas, neste caso, as contribuições tanto metodológicas como de conteúdo fazem deste livro coletivo um produto novo e original.

Fool's Gold?
What's wrong with the world today and how might it become better (or worse)? These are the questions pursued in this book, which explores the hopes and fears, dreams and nightmares of the 21st century. Through architecture, fiction, theory, film and experiments with everyday life, Sargisson explores contemporary hopes and fears about the future.
War Power, Police Power
Why is liberalism so obsessed with waste? Is there a drone above you now? Are you living in a no-fly zone? What is the role of masculinity in the 'war on terror'? And why do so many liberals profess a love of peace while finding new ways to justify slaughter in the name of 'peace and security'? In this, the first book to deal with the concepts of war power and police power together, Mark Neocleous deals with these questions and many more by radically rethinking the relationship between war power and police power.
Grenzbewusster Sadomasochismus
Wie wird Sexualität reguliert und normalisiert? Die Gegenwartsgesellschaft zeigt sich im Hinblick auf individuelle und sexuelle Handlungsspielräume als widersprüchlich. Elisabeth Wagner geht dem am Beispiel des Sadomasochismus nach. Anhand von Interviews rekonstruiert sie, wie sich SM-Praktizierende zwischen einem Versprechen sexueller Freiheit und dem fortwährenden Skandalisierungspotential abweichender Sexualitäten konstruieren, positionieren, als Subjekte konstituieren und um eine anerkannte Identität ringen. Die Studie leistet einen empirisch fundierten Beitrag über Prozesse der (Selbst-)Normalisierung und geht damit über bisherige überwiegend theoretisch argumentierende Analysen hinaus.
Von seelischer Selbstvergiftung und Hasskonserven
Der Begriff Ressentiment hat in der Philosophie Friedrich Nietzsches eine herausragende Bedeutung und ist in neuester Zeit durch das Werk Peter Sloterdijks wieder in den Fokus des philosophischen Interesses geraten. Er bezeichnet einen schleichenden Prozess "seelischer Selbstvergiftung" (Max Scheler), der die Entstehung von Rachewünschen, Missgunst und "Hasskonserven" (Sloterdijk) begünstigt und den freien Lebensvollzug behindert. Die in diesem Buch vorgestellte Ressentimenttheorie eröffnet neue Perspektiven auf und für Helfer und Hilfesuchende im Bereich Psychiatrie und Psychotherapie, und führt dabei auf ungewöhnlichen Denkwegen zu unkonventionellen Einsichten. Als anthropologische Theorie versteht sie sich zudem als Einladung für Fachfremde, die im Sinne Nietzsches Mut zum Selbstexperiment mitbringen. Sie sensibilisiert für eigene Ressentiments und entwirft Möglichkeiten der Überwindung, die als praktische Anwendung von Nietzsches Lebensbejahungsphilosophie verstanden werden können.
