Marx's Others
While there recently has been renewed interest in Marx, we cannot simply apply his nearly 200-year-old texts to today's world. Capitalism, after all, has not only taken on new shapes, in the context of the climate crisis, mass incarceration, and global migration; it has also intensified its exploitation of racialised and feminised workers, while finding new ways of co-opting them. Across the disciplinary boundaries of philosophy, literary and cultural studies, this volume revives Marx's rich conceptual apparatus to shed light on his Black, feminist, trans and queer »others« in order to understand race and gender as part of the capitalist totality, and to strike more fundamentally at the heart of contemporary capitalism.
Geschlecht als Erfahrung
Wie gestaltet sich der Zusammenhang von (ver-)geschlechtlichter Erfahrung, Differenz, Alterität und Anderssein? Wie sind (ver-)geschlechtliches Erleben und der körperliche Leib miteinander verschränkt? Und welche Bedeutung haben Unausgesprochenes und Unaussprechbares für die Erfahrung geschlechtlicher Existenzweisen? Die Beiträger*innen widmen sich diesen drei bislang wenig systematisch bearbeiteten Fragen und setzen Erfahrung neu auf die Agenda der Geschlechterforschung. Aus den Perspektiven von Geistes-, Kultur- und Sozialwissenschaften loten sie Erfahrung als Forschungsgegenstand sowie Analysekategorie aus und legen dessen epistemologisches Potential als Grundlage von Kritik und politischer Praxis offen.

Feminism, Interrupted
Plastered over t-shirts and tote bags, the word 'feminist' has entered the mainstream and is fast becoming a popular slogan for our generation. But feminism isn't a commodity up for purchase; it's a weapon for fighting against injustice. This revolutionary book reclaims feminism from consumerism through exploring state violence against women, reproductive justice, transmisogyny, sex work, gendered Islamophobia and much more, showing that the struggle for gendered liberation is a struggle for justice, one that can transform the world for everyone.

A Fly Girl's Guide to University
'Toni Morrison once said, "If there's a book you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it." In 2016 four friends wrote the book they wish they'd had as 18 year-old women of colour going to study in the elite academic institution of Cambridge University. And what a book! Wonderful, fiery, radical and brave - it uses multiple voices and forms such as memoir, polemic, poetry, critical approaches - to document their experiences as women of colour in an institution that they had each discovered failed to validate or even acknowledge their heritage, their gender, their right to see themselves in their place of study. As a narrative and a testament, this patchwork book h...
Haughey
With exclusive access to the Haughey archives, Gary Murphy presents a reassessment of Charles Haughey's life and legacy. Saint or sinner? Charles Haughey was, depending on whom you ask, either the great villain of Irish political life or the benevolent and forward-thinking saviour of a benighted nation. He was undoubtedly the most talented and influential politician of his generation, yet the very roots of his success – his charisma, his intelligence, his ruthlessness, his secrecy – have rendered almost impossible any objective evaluation of his life and work. That is, until now. Based on unfettered access to Haughey's personal archives, as well as extensive interviews with more than eig...

A Sense of Dread
A Sense of Dread features three main sections.1) A detailed examination of the biological, psychological, and cultural bases of fear. What fears do we share with animals? What fears are uniquely human? What fears have we learned from our culture? From our families? From our experiences growing up? And what, exactly, is the difference between fear and dread?2) Author Neal Marshall Stevens explores the fundamentals of storytelling and scriptwriting, including the basics of story structure, creating effective protagonists and antagonists, exposition and set-ups, and advice on writing dialogue.3) A Sense of Dread then combines these ideas to explore the roots of human fear and apply them to storytelling for the screen. "The Toolbox of Dread" outlines the techniques for creating terror on the page. A wide array of horror subgenres are also explored, including why they exist, and what challenges each presents to the horror screenwriter. It also offers guidance on adding horror elements to non-horror movies.Finally, we seek to answer the question many people ask: What are you afraid of?
