This unique book redresses the balance. Lisa Mckenzie lived on the St Ann\u2019s estate in Nottingham for more than 20 years. Her \u2018insider\u2019 status enables us to hear the stories of its residents, often wary of outsiders. St Ann's has been stigmatised as a place where gangs, guns, drugs, single mothers and those unwilling or unable to make something of their lives reside. Yet in this same community we find strong, resourceful, ambitious people who are 'getting by', often with humour and despite facing brutal austerity.

Specifically, animals often express a preference for risky (more variable) food sources when below a metabolic reference point (hungry), and safe (less variable) food sources when sated. Circulating hormones report the status of energy reserves and acute nutrient intake to widespread targets in the central nervous system that regulate feeding behaviour, including brain regions strongly implicated in risk and reward based decision-making in humans. Despite this, physiological influences per se have not been considered previously to influence economic decisions in humans. We hypothesised that baseline metabolic reserves and alterations in metabolic state would systematically modulate decision-making and financial risk-taking in humans. Methodology/Principal Findings We used a controlled feeding manipulation and assayed decision-making preferences across different metabolic states following a meal. To elicit risk-preference, we presented a sequence of 200 paired lotteries, subjects' task being to select their preferred option from each pair. We also measured prandial suppression of circulating acyl-ghrelin (a centrally-acting orexigenic hormone signalling acute nutrient intake), and circulating leptin levels (providing an assay of energy reserves). We show both immediate and delayed effects on risky decision-making following a meal, and that these changes correlate with an individual's baseline leptin and changes in acyl-ghrelin levels respectively. Conclusions/Significance We show that human risk preferences are exquisitely sensitive to current metabolic state, in a direction consistent with ecological models of feeding behaviour but not predicted by normative economic theory. These substantive effects of state changes on economic decisions perhaps reflect shared evolutionarily conserved neurobiological mechanisms. We suggest that this sensitivity in human risk-preference to current metabolic state has significant implications for both real-world economic transactions and for aberrant decision-making in eating disorders and obesity.", "publisher": "Public Library of Science", "authors": ["Mkael Symmonds", "Julian J.

Twenty-five years later, the word cynicism has acquired a totally different meaning, almost opposite: the cynic is someone routinely lying to everyone, especially him or herself. The intimate lie \u2026 the contradiction between speech and belief lies at the core of contemporary cynicism. Still, there remains a kind of consistency between the ancient notion of cynicism \u2013 rigorous truthfulness, individualism, ascetic behavior and disdain of power \u2013 and our own, which consists largely of lip service, moral unreliability and conformist subjugation to those in power. This consistency lies in an awareness of the ambiguous nature of language, and an ability to suspend the relation between language and reality, particularly in the ethical sphere. Cynicism, therefore, is closely related to irony. Both are rhetorical forms and ethical stances that require the suspension of the relation between reality and languge. Some German philosophers like Tillich and Sloterdijk use two different words to distinguish the ancient Greek cynicism discussed by Foucault and our own: Kynismus and Zynismus.

How do \"human\" prejudices reemerge in algorithmic cultures allegedly devised to be blind to them? To answer this question, this book investigates a fundamental axiom in computer science: pattern discrimination. By imposing identity on input data, in order to filter--that is, to discriminate--signals from noise, patterns become a highly political issue. Algorithmic identity politics reinstate old forms of social segregation, such as class, race, and gender, through defaults and paradigmatic assumptions about the homophilic nature of connection. Instead of providing a more \"objective\" basis of decision making, machine-learning algorithms deepen bias and further inscribe inequality into media. Yet pattern discrimination is an essential part of human--and nonhuman--cognition. Bringing together media thinkers and artists from the United States and Germany, this volume asks the urgent questions: How can we discriminate without being discriminatory? How can we filter information out of data without reinserting racist, sexist, and classist beliefs? How can we queer homophilic tendencies within digital cultures?", "publisher": "University of Minnesota Press", "authors": ["Clemens Apprich", "Wendy Hui Kyong Chun", "Florian Cramer", "Hito Steyerl"], "formats": [{"format": "pdf", "file_name": "Pattern Discrimination - Clemens Apprich.pdf", "dir_path": "Clemens Apprich/Pattern Discrimination (125)/", "size": 2299545}], "cover_url": "Clemens Apprich/Pattern Discrimination (125)/cover.jpg", "identifiers": [{"scheme": "bibhash", "code": "L/xaE3ehQm3x"}], "languages": ["eng"]}, "ba28f009-2201-4434-a007-74464b55bc77": {"title": "The Knowledge Corrupters: Hidden Consequences of the Financial Takeover of Public Life", "title_sort": "The Knowledge Corrupters: Hidden Consequences of the Financial Takeover of Public Life", "pubdate": "2016-11-15 00:00:00+00:00", "last_modified": "2024-11-07 12:54:44.028193+00:00", "library_uuid": "d03ea605-b19d-4b98-8329-a974584f17ca", "librarian": "Matan \u0160palatrin", "_id": "ba28f009-2201-4434-a007-74464b55bc77", "tags": ["business & economics", "economics", "general"], "abstract": "In principle the advanced, market-driven world in which we now live is fuelled by knowledge, information and transparency, but in practice the processes that produce this world systematically corrupt and denigrate knowledge: this is the powerful and provocative argument advanced by Colin Crouch in his latest exploration of societies on the road to post-democracy. Crouch shows that executives in profit-maximizing corporations have incentives to ignore or distort knowledge, especially firms in the information business of the mass media themselves, as financial knowledge increasingly trumps the other kinds of knowledge that business needs. Firms also seek to take control of public knowledge and use it for their own ends, often at the cost of other stakeholders in society. Meanwhile the transfer of similar practices to professional public services undermines professional skills and ethics - especially when these services are out-sourced to the private sector. Attempts to extricate ourselves from these problems involve reshaping the complex and often conflicting relationships among citizens, professionals, managers and financiers.

Everyone knows this. Each of us contributes his share. But we tend to take the situation for granted. Most people are rather confident of their ability to recognize bullshit and to avoid being taken in by it. So the phenomenon has not aroused much deliberate concern. We have no clear understanding of what bullshit is, why there is so much of it, or what functions it serves. And we lack a conscientiously developed appreciation of what it means to us. In other words, as Harry Frankfurt writes, \"we have no theory.\" Frankfurt, one of the world's most influential moral philosophers, attempts to build such a theory here. With his characteristic combination of philosophical acuity, psychological insight, and wry humor, Frankfurt proceeds by exploring how bullshit and the related concept of humbug are distinct from lying. He argues that bullshitters misrepresent themselves to their audience not as liars do, that is, by deliberately making false claims about what is true. In fact, bullshit need not be untrue at all. Rather, bullshitters seek to convey a certain impression of themselves without being concerned about whether anything at all is true. They quietly change the rules governing their end of the conversation so that claims about truth and falsity are irrelevant. Frankfurt concludes that although bullshit can take many innocent forms, excessive indulgence in it can eventually undermine the practitioner's capacity to tell the truth in a way that lying does not. Liars at least acknowledge that it matters what is true. By virtue of this, Frankfurt writes, bullshit is a greater enemy of the truth than lies are.", "publisher": "Princeton University Press", "authors": ["Harry G.

African American Studies. Politics. Philosophy & Critical Theory. Introduction by Jack Halberstam. In this series of essays, Fred Moten and Stefano Harney draw on the theory and practice of the black radical tradition as it supports, inspires, and extends contemporary social and political thought and aesthetic critique. Today the general wealth of social life finds itself confronted by mutations in the mechanisms of control: the proliferation of capitalist logistics, governance by credit, and the management of pedagogy. Working from and within the social poesis of life in THE UNDERCOMMONS, Moten and Harney develop and expand an array of concepts: study, debt, surround, planning, and the shipped. On the fugitive path of an historical and global blackness, the essays in this volume unsettle and invite the reader to the self-organised ensembles of social life that are launched every day and every night amid the general antagonism of THE UNDERCOMMONS.\"This is a powerful book, made of words and sounds, crisscrossed by subversion and love, written and studied 'with and for, ' as Stefano Harney and Fred Moten put it. The roar of the battle is never distant while reading THE UNDERCOMMONS. The London riots and occupy, practices of refusal, marronage and flight, slave revolts and anti-colonial uprisings frame a challenging rethinking of concepts such as policy and planning, debt and credit, governance and logistics. THE UNDERCOMMONS is a homage to the black radical tradition, to its generative and constituent power before the task of imagining 'dispossessed feelings in common' as the basis of a renewed communism.\" Sandro Mezzadra\"What kind of intervention can cut through neoliberal configuration of today's university, which betrays its own liberal commitment to bring about emancipation? THE UNDERCOMMONS is a powerful and necessary intervention that invites us to imagine and realise social life otherwise. In this intimate and intense example of affected writing writing which is always already other, with an other Harney and Moten dare us to fall. Following, feeling, an other possible manner living together, or as one may say with Glissant to be 'born into the world, ' which is the fate and gift of blackness.

During the Cold War, it was the justification for heavy government intervention. In contemporary Italy, a major part of the appeal of the Lombard League has been its promise to dissociate the South from the North, even to the point of secession. The South also remains a resonant theme in Italian literature. This interdisciplinary book endeavours to answer the following: - When did people begin to think of the South as a problem? - Who - intellectuals, statisticians, criminologists, political exiles, novelists (among them some important southerners) - contributed to the discourse about the South and why? - Did their view of the South correspond to any sort of reality? - What was glossed over or ignored in the generalized vision of the South as problematic? - What consequences has the \u2018Question' had in controlling the imaginations and actions of intellectuals and those with political and other forms of power? - What alternative formulations might people create and live by if they were able to escape from the control of the \u2018Question' and to imagine the political, economic and cultural differences within Italy in some other way? This timely book reveals how Southern Italians have been affected by distorted versions of a complex reality similar to the discourse of \u2018Orientalism'. In situating the devaluation of Southern Italian culture in relation to the recent emergence of \u2018anti-mafia' ideology in the South and the threat posed to national unity by the Lombard League, it also illuminates the world's stiff inter-regional competition for investment capital.", "publisher": "Routledge", "authors": ["Jane Schneider"], "formats": [{"format": "pdf", "file_name": "Italy's 'Southern Question'_ Orientalism i - Jane Schneider.pdf", "dir_path": "Jane Schneider/Italy's 'Southern Question'_ Orientalism in One Country (7)/", "size": 27879276}], "cover_url": "Jane Schneider/Italy's 'Southern Question'_ Orientalism in One Country (7)/cover.jpg", "identifiers": [{"scheme": "bibhash", "code": "uX55jWoFjgjd"}], "languages": ["eng"]}, "0769c369-55ff-4008-a6b4-1c77b4a0a1d8": {"title": "Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America", "title_sort": "Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America", "pubdate": "2001-11-15 00:00:00+00:00", "last_modified": "2024-11-06 10:02:41.335187+00:00", "library_uuid": "d03ea605-b19d-4b98-8329-a974584f17ca", "librarian": "Matan \u0160palatrin", "_id": "0769c369-55ff-4008-a6b4-1c77b4a0a1d8", "tags": [], "abstract": "Our sharpest and most original social critic goes \"undercover\" as an unskilled worker to reveal the dark side of American prosperity.Millions of Americans work full time, year round, for poverty-level wages. In 1998, Barbara Ehrenreich decided to join them. She was inspired in part by the rhetoric surrounding welfare reform, which promised that a job -- any job -- can be the ticket to a better life. But how does anyone survive, let alone prosper, on $6 an hour? To find out, Ehrenreich left her home, took the cheapest lodgings she could find, and accepted whatever jobs she was offered. Moving from Florida to Maine to Minnesota, she worked as a waitress, a hotel maid, a cleaning woman, a nursing-home aide, and a Wal-Mart sales clerk. She lived in trailer parks and crumbling residential motels. Very quickly, she discovered that no job is truly \"unskilled,\" that even the lowliest occupations require exhausting mental and muscular effort. She also learned that one job is not enough; you need at least two if you int to live indoors.Nickel and Dimed reveals low-rent America in all its tenacity, anxiety, and surprising generosity -- a land of Big Boxes, fast food, and a thousand desperate stratagems for survival. Read it for the smoldering clarity of Ehrenreich's perspective and for a rare view of how \"prosperity\" looks from the bottom.

It is usually assumed that trans and gender nonconforming people should follow the civil rights and \"equality\" strategies of lesbian and gay rights organizations by agitating for legal reforms that would ostensibly guarantee nondiscrimination and equal protection under the law. This approach assumes that the best way to address the poverty and criminalization that plague trans populations is to gain legal recognition and inclusion in the state's institutions. But is this strategy effective?In Normal Life Dean Spade presents revelatory critiques of the legal equality framework for social change, and points to examples of transformative grassroots trans activism that is raising demands that go beyond traditional civil rights reforms. Spade explodes assumptions about what legal rights can do for marginalized populations, and describes transformative resistance processes and formations that address the root causes of harm and violence.In the new afterword to this revised and expanded edition, Spade notes the rapid mainstreaming of trans politics and finds that his predictions that gaining legal recognition will fail to benefit trans populations are coming to fruition. Spade examines recent efforts by the Obama administration and trans equality advocates to \"pinkwash\" state violence by articulating the US military and prison systems as sites for trans inclusion reforms. In the context of recent increased mainstream visibility of trans people and trans politics, Spade continues to advocate for the dismantling of systems of state violence that shorten the lives of trans people.

In a narrative spanning more than three centuries, Against the Commons provides a radical counterhistory of urban planning that explores how capitalism and spatial politics have evolved to address this challenge.Highlighting episodes from preindustrial England, New York City and Chicago between the 1850s and the early 1900s, Weimar-era Berlin, and neoliberal Milan, \u00c1lvaro Sevilla-Buitrago shows how capitalist urbanization has eroded the egalitarian, convivial life-worlds around the commons. The book combines detailed archival research with provocative critical theory to illuminate past and ongoing struggles over land, shared resources, public space, neighborhoods, creativity, and spatial imaginaries.Against the Commons underscores the ways urbanization shapes the social fabric of places and territories, lending particular awareness to the impact of planning and design initiatives on working-class communities and popular strata. Projecting history into the future, it outlines an alternative vision for a postcapitalist urban planning, one in which the structure of collective spaces is ultimately defined by the people who inhabit them.", "publisher": "University of Minnesota Press", "authors": ["\u00c1lvaro Sevilla-Buitrago"], "formats": [{"format": "pdf", "file_name": "Against the Commons_ A Radical History of - Alvaro Sevilla-Buitrago.pdf", "dir_path": "Alvaro Sevilla-Buitrago/Against the Commons_ A Radical History of Urban Planning (21)/", "size": 5436008}], "cover_url": "Alvaro Sevilla-Buitrago/Against the Commons_ A Radical History of Urban Planning (21)/cover.jpg", "identifiers": [{"scheme": "bibhash", "code": "1ql/UF4XxS4d"}], "languages": ["eng"]}, "35fe9477-79fe-4559-b6c0-a455e4d4fdab": {"title": "Colonialism and its others: Considerations on rights and care discourses", "title_sort": "Colonialism and its others: Considerations on rights and care discourses", "pubdate": "1995-11-15 00:00:00+00:00", "last_modified": "2024-11-05 16:47:22.184452+00:00", "library_uuid": "d03ea605-b19d-4b98-8329-a974584f17ca", "librarian": "Matan \u0160palatrin", "_id": "35fe9477-79fe-4559-b6c0-a455e4d4fdab", "tags": [], "abstract": "", "publisher": "", "authors": ["Uma Narayan"], "formats": [{"format": "pdf", "file_name": "Colonialism and its others_ Considerations - Uma Narayan.pdf", "dir_path": "Uma Narayan/Colonialism and its others_ Considerations on rights and care discourses (22)/", "size": 474807}], "cover_url": "Uma Narayan/Colonialism and its others_ Considerations on rights and care discourses (22)/cover.jpg", "identifiers": [{"scheme": "bibhash", "code": "vlH5T719TQb2"}], "languages": ["eng"], "series": "Hypatia"}, "953035fe-d457-432d-bc66-7490c84bbc52": {"title": "Crafting the neoliberal state: Workfare and prisonfare in the bureaucratic field", "title_sort": "Crafting the neoliberal state: Workfare and prisonfare in the bureaucratic field", "pubdate": "2014-11-15 00:00:00+00:00", "last_modified": "2024-11-05 16:47:22.872392+00:00", "library_uuid": "d03ea605-b19d-4b98-8329-a974584f17ca", "librarian": "Matan \u0160palatrin", "_id": "953035fe-d457-432d-bc66-7490c84bbc52", "tags": [], "abstract": "()", "publisher": "Routledge", "authors": ["Lo\u00efc Wacquant"], "formats": [{"format": "pdf", "file_name": "Crafting the neoliberal state_ Workfare an - Loic Wacquant.pdf", "dir_path": "Loic Wacquant/Crafting the neoliberal state_ Workfare and prisonfare in the bureaucratic field (23)/", "size": 1930114}], "cover_url": "Loic Wacquant/Crafting the neoliberal state_ Workfare and prisonfare in the bureaucratic field (23)/cover.jpg", "identifiers": [{"scheme": "bibhash", "code": "05HZcnl3vmKz"}], "languages": ["eng"]}, "df385b94-1150-4e51-b1b6-eece496f12cd": {"title": "Poetics of Relation", "title_sort": "Poetics of Relation", "pubdate": "1997-11-15 00:00:00+00:00", "last_modified": "2024-11-06 10:01:43.805989+00:00", "library_uuid": "d03ea605-b19d-4b98-8329-a974584f17ca", "librarian": "Matan \u0160palatrin", "_id": "df385b94-1150-4e51-b1b6-eece496f12cd", "tags": [], "abstract": "\u00c9douard Glissant, long recognized in the French and francophone world as one of the greatest writers and thinkers of our times, is increasingly attracting attention from English-speaking readers. Born in Martinique in 1928, Glissant earned a doctorate from the Sorbonne. When he returned to his native land in the mid-sixties, his writing began to focus on the idea of a \"relational poetics,\" which laid the groundwork for the \"cr\u00e9olit\u00e9\" movement, fueled by the understanding that Caribbean culture and identity are the positive products of a complex and multiple set of local historical circumstances. Some of the metaphors of local identity Glissant favored--the hinterland (or lack of it), the maroon (or runaway slave), the creole language--proved lasting and influential. In Poetics of Relation, Glissant turns the concrete particulars of Caribbean reality into a complex, energetic vision of a world in transformation. He sees the Antilles as enduring suffering imposed by history, yet as a place whose unique interactions will one day produce an emerging global consensus. Arguing that the writer alone can tap the unconscious of a people and apprehend its multiform culture to provide forms of memory capable of transcending \"nonhistory,\" Glissant defines his \"poetics of relation\"--both aesthetic and political--as a transformative mode of history, capable of enunciating and making concrete a French-Caribbean reality with a self-defined past and future. Glissant's notions of identity as constructed in relation and not in isolation are germane not only to discussions of Caribbean creolization but also to our understanding of U.S. multiculturalism. In Glissant's view, we come to see that relation in all its senses--telling, listening, connecting, and the parallel consciousness of self and surroundings--is the key to transforming mentalities and reshaping societies.This translation of Glissant's work preserves the resonating quality of his prose and makes the richness and ambiguities of his voice accessible to readers in English. \"The most important theoretician from the Caribbean writing today. . . . He is central not only to the burgeoning field of Caribbean studies, but also to the newly flourishing literary scene in the French West Indies.\" --Judith Graves Miller, University of Wisconsin, Madison\u00c9douard Glissant is Distinguished Professor of French at City University of New York, Graduate Center.

Italian political thinker Paolo Virno argues that the category of \"multitude,\" elaborated by Spinoza and for the most part left fallow since the seventeenth century, is a far better tool to analyze contemporary issues than the Hobbesian concept of \"people,\" favored by classical political philosophy. Hobbes, who detested the notion of multitude, defined it as shunning political unity, resisting authority, and never entering into lasting agreements. \"When they rebel against the state,\" Hobbes wrote, \"the citizens are the multitude against the people.\" But the multitude isn't just a negative notion, it is a rich concept that allows us to examine anew plural experiences and forms of nonrepresentative democracy. Drawing from philosophy of language, political economics, and ethics, Virno shows that being foreign, \"not-feeling-at-home-anywhere,\" is a condition that forces the multitude to place its trust in the intellect.

Being Alive ranges over such themes as the vitality of materials, what it means to make things, the perception and formation of the ground, the mingling of earth and sky in the weather-world, the experiences of light, sound and feeling, the role of storytelling in the integration of knowledge, and the potential of drawing to unite observation and description. Our humanity, Ingold argues, does not come ready-made but is continually fashioned in our movements along ways of life.

Figure it Out (FIO) is an artistic and research project engaging practices and phenomena of coping, tinkering, making-do and circumventing exclusions that are developed by marginalized, underserved, discriminated and vulnerable people. Gendered, racialized, bordered, disabled and exploited, these constituencies are often forced to develop tools and strategies that are considered unacceptable to the institutions of the system. Sometimes these tools and strategies are forged out of necessity, of survival, sometimes to exercise rights or to secure access to basic services available to those deemed more \u201cdeserving\u201d. Other times, these coping mechanisms reclaim rest, beauty or pleasure as part of a dignified life. What the figure-it-out practices and phenomena have in common is that they are not about scamming peers or those more vulnerable than them. Instead, they are practices that take issue with formalized, normative forms of oppression (state, welfare institutions, corporations, workplace, credit, housing, utilities etc.) that have sets of rules and conditions of access that specific populations or individuals cannot meet. They are actions directed at the conditions that produce and reproduce systemic violence and which reformist approaches aim to fix in the long run. Figure-it-out practices instead inhabit different temporalities from the perspective of those who cannot and will not wait.

How should we name, map and respond to this state of affairs?Late Fascism turns to theories of fascism produced in the past century, testing their capacity to illuminate our moment and challenging many of the commonplaces that debate on this extremely charged term devolves into. It can be tempting for any contemporary assessment of fascism to reach for historical analogy. Fascism is defined by returns and repetitions, but it is not best approached in terms of steps and checklists dictated by a selective reading of Italian Fascism or National Socialism.Rather than treating fascism as an unrepeatable phenomenon or identifying it with a settled configuration of European parties, regimes, and ideologies, Toscano approaches fascism as a problem and a process, one that is intimately linked to capitalism's demands for domination. Drawing especially on Black radical and anti-colonial theories of racial fascism, Late Fascism makes clear the limits of identifying fascism simply with the political violence of bygone European regimes. Developing anti-fascist theory is a vital and urgent task. From the \"Great Replacement\" to campaigns against critical race theory and \"gender ideology\", today's global far-right is launching lethal panics about the threats to traditional political, sexual and racial regimes. Late Fascism allows us to rediscover some truly inspiring anti-fascist thinkers, rooted in their turn in largely anonymous collective practices of worldmaking against domination, traditions of the oppressed that remain a resource for those set on dismantling the hierarchies and segregations that the partisans of Order and Tradition seek to revive and reimpose.", "publisher": "Verso Books", "authors": ["Alberto Toscano"], "formats": [{"format": "epub", "file_name": "Late Fascism_ Race, Capitalism and the Pol - Alberto Toscano.epub", "dir_path": "Alberto Toscano/Late Fascism_ Race, Capitalism and the Politics of Crisis (35)/", "size": 294787}], "cover_url": "Alberto Toscano/Late Fascism_ Race, Capitalism and the Politics of Crisis (35)/cover.jpg", "identifiers": [{"scheme": "bibhash", "code": "r5CtGeEp9/C1"}], "languages": ["eng"]}, "8d24e91a-88d9-49fa-b875-44d839b52501": {"title": "Now: prefigurative politics through a north Indian lens", "title_sort": "Now: prefigurative politics through a north Indian lens", "pubdate": "2016-11-15 00:00:00+00:00", "last_modified": "2024-11-05 16:47:31.543653+00:00", "library_uuid": "d03ea605-b19d-4b98-8329-a974584f17ca", "librarian": "Matan \u0160palatrin", "_id": "8d24e91a-88d9-49fa-b875-44d839b52501", "tags": [], "abstract": "", "publisher": "", "authors": ["Craig Jeffrey", "Jane Dyson"], "formats": [{"format": "pdf", "file_name": "Now_ prefigurative politics through a nort - Craig Jeffrey.pdf", "dir_path": "Craig Jeffrey/Now_ prefigurative politics through a north Indian lens (36)/", "size": 532972}], "cover_url": "Craig Jeffrey/Now_ prefigurative politics through a north Indian lens (36)/cover.jpg", "identifiers": [{"scheme": "bibhash", "code": "SJ06VTfMubwI"}], "languages": ["eng"], "series": "Economy and Society"}, "59884b0f-3574-440c-a47f-b33ea54122d4": {"title": "Social structure and anomie", "title_sort": "Social structure and anomie", "pubdate": "1949-11-15 00:00:00+00:00", "last_modified": "2024-11-05 16:47:32.347585+00:00", "library_uuid": "d03ea605-b19d-4b98-8329-a974584f17ca", "librarian": "Matan \u0160palatrin", "_id": "59884b0f-3574-440c-a47f-b33ea54122d4", "tags": [], "abstract": "", "publisher": "", "authors": ["Robert K.

Drawing on cases ranging from sixteenth-century tax revolts to contemporary debates about the future of the World Trade Center site, Polletta argues that stories are politically effective not when they have clear moral messages, but when they have complex, often ambiguous ones. The openness of stories to interpretation has allowed disadvantaged groups, in particular, to gain a hearing for new needs and to forge surprising political alliances. But popular beliefs in America about storytelling as a genre have also hurt those challenging the status quo.

Brewer Ball argues that escape is a key site for exploring American conceptions of freedom and constraint.

While white escape narratives have typically been laden with Enlightenment fantasies of redemption where freedom is available to any individual willing to seize it, Brewer Ball explores how Black and queer escape offer forms of radical possibility. Drawing on Black studies, queer theory, and performance studies, she examines a range of works, from nineteenth-century American literature to contemporary queer of color art and writing by contemporary American artists including Wilmer Wilson IV, Tourmaline, Tony Kushner, Junot D\u00edaz, Glenn Ligon, Toshi Reagon, and Sharon Hayes.

Some consider it a form of predatory capitalism with adverse effects on the Global South. In this groundbreaking work, Aihwa Ong offers an alternative view of neoliberalism as an extraordinarily malleable technology of governing that is taken up in different ways by different regimes, be they authoritarian, democratic, or communist. Ong shows how East and Southeast Asian states are making exceptions to their usual practices of governing in order to position themselves to compete in the global economy. As she demonstrates, a variety of neoliberal strategies of governing are re-engineering political spaces and populations. Ong\u2019s ethnographic case studies illuminate experiments and developments such as China\u2019s creation of special market zones within its socialist economy; pro-capitalist Islam and women\u2019s rights in Malaysia; Singapore\u2019s repositioning as a hub of scientific expertise; and flexible labor and knowledge regimes that span the Pacific.Ong traces how these and other neoliberal exceptions to business as usual are reconfiguring relationships between governing and the governed, power and knowledge, and sovereignty and territoriality. She argues that an interactive mode of citizenship is emerging, one that organizes people\u2014and distributes rights and benefits to them\u2014according to their marketable skills rather than according to their membership within nation-states. Those whose knowledge and skills are not assigned significant market value\u2014such as migrant women working as domestic maids in many Asian cities\u2014are denied citizenship. Nevertheless, Ong suggests that as the seam between sovereignty and citizenship is pried apart, a new space is emerging for NGOs to advocate for the human rights of those excluded by neoliberal measures of human worthiness.", "publisher": "Duke University Press", "authors": ["Aihwa Ong"], "formats": [{"format": "pdf", "file_name": "Neoliberalism as Exception_ Mutations in C - Aihwa Ong.pdf", "dir_path": "Aihwa Ong/Neoliberalism as Exception_ Mutations in Citizenship and Sovereignty (45)/", "size": 1609456}], "cover_url": "Aihwa Ong/Neoliberalism as Exception_ Mutations in Citizenship and Sovereignty (45)/cover.jpg", "identifiers": [{"scheme": "bibhash", "code": "dB2ug0NueDc0"}], "languages": ["eng"]}, "88d8c5bf-196d-42a5-baa8-d727d4a670c6": {"title": "Sindicato, multitud y comunidad.

Its main purpose was to assist the World Bank's work in the health sector by describing conditions and diseases that contributed most to the overall burden of disease and by identifying ways to prevent and manage these causes of ill health. The volume was timely because of the adverse effect the economic downturn of the early 1980s had on health in Africa and because of the need to evaluate the impact of primary health care strategies that had been promoted in the preceding decade. Epidemiologic information coming from demographic surveillance sites that had not previously been fully compared and disseminated provided a new source for assessing trends in mortality. All this occurred against a backdrop of increasing concern about how the human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immune deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS), then still a relatively new and geographically more limited disease, could potentially affect health and development in Africa. In the years since the publication of DMSSA-1 in 1991, epidemiological and demographic changes have occurred that require an update if the volume is to remain useful for policy makers in addressing key concerns. The most significant impact on disease and mortality in Africa has been the growth of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, which has infected more than 30 percent of adults in some countries while spreading across the continent. Its impact has changed trends in many of the diseases covered in this volume and dramatically worsened the overall level of mortality in many African countries. The potential impact of HIV/AIDS was anticipated in DMSSA-1; the current volume documents the burden the disease is currently inflicting on Africa.", "publisher": "The International Bank for Reconstruction and Development / The World Bank", "authors": ["Dean T.

The concept of illegalism, as distinct from illegality, plays a double role. It allows Foucault to describe a ruling class tactic for managing inequalities and also to characterize an important vein of resistant subjugated knowledges. The political project of the prison is linked to a new crime policy that does not so much aim to repress illegalisms as to manage them differentially. This practice of differential management, which arises in the 18th century, produces a primary split along class lines between two types of illegalism\u2014an insight that has a certain resonance with Edwin's Sutherland's concept of \u201cwhite collar crime.\u201d Foucault's investigation of a third category of \u201cinfralegal illegalism\u201d sheds light not only on the genealogy of the category of delinquency but also on his genealogy of racial categorization. Finally, Foucault argues that a genuinely radical critique of modern society must address the \u201cneed\u201d organized political power has for the illegalisms from which it purportedly seeks to protect society. Against this practice of differentially managing illegalisms, Foucault seeks to reactivate a subjugated problematic that might open up questions about the transformative possibilities of illegalism today.", "publisher": "", "authors": ["Alex J.

The below-ground corridors and crammed vending stalls in this poorly regulated market are usually flooded with shoppers, yet government officials and the media frequently condemn it as a vile and dangerous place. But how and why does El Hueco offend? Through an ethnographic account of a day's events, cast against a discussion of Marxism's \u201clumpenproletariat\u201d and Hernando de Soto's \u201cinformality,\u201d I argue that implicit in El Hueco's challenge of state bureaucracy is a class critique that resists conventional class analysis and that affirms the \u201clumpen\u201d as a politics in its own right. \u201cLumpen\u201d here does not refer to categories of people but to a resource that can be appropriated and deployed freely. Linked to the anti-political tactics of President Alberto Fujimori in the 1990s, lumpen as a resource has changed the face of postwar Lima by defying and deforming from within the bourgeois ideals of urban development and bureaucratic form. It has also arguably changed the face of politics and played a role in the revival of fujimorismo during and since the 2016 presidential elections.", "publisher": "", "authors": ["Daniella Gandolfo"], "formats": [{"format": "pdf", "file_name": "Lumpen Politics_ A Day in _El Hueco_ - Daniella Gandolfo.pdf", "dir_path": "Daniella Gandolfo/Lumpen Politics_ A Day in _El Hueco_ (65)/", "size": 391597}], "cover_url": "Daniella Gandolfo/Lumpen Politics_ A Day in _El Hueco_ (65)/cover.jpg", "identifiers": [{"scheme": "bibhash", "code": "+b21lTjqpieh"}], "languages": ["eng"], "series": "Comparative Studies in Society and History"}, "10bddcf7-540a-4bfc-8771-5471f716292c": {"title": "Diamela Eltit: el letrado y el textitlumpen", "title_sort": "Diamela Eltit: el letrado y el textitlumpen", "pubdate": "1999-11-15 00:00:00+00:00", "last_modified": "2024-11-05 16:47:52.021953+00:00", "library_uuid": "d03ea605-b19d-4b98-8329-a974584f17ca", "librarian": "Matan \u0160palatrin", "_id": "10bddcf7-540a-4bfc-8771-5471f716292c", "tags": [], "abstract": "()", "publisher": "", "authors": ["Walescka Pino-Ojeda"], "formats": [{"format": "pdf", "file_name": "Diamela Eltit_ el letrado y el textitlumpe - Walescka Pino-Ojeda.pdf", "dir_path": "Walescka Pino-Ojeda/Diamela Eltit_ el letrado y el textitlumpen (66)/", "size": 1436758}], "cover_url": "Walescka Pino-Ojeda/Diamela Eltit_ el letrado y el textitlumpen (66)/cover.jpg", "identifiers": [{"scheme": "bibhash", "code": "ZGmTBMNMZxfB"}], "languages": ["eng"], "series": "Journal of Iberian and Latin American Research"}, "8100c1f3-ade8-4c3c-af91-54961dc954d8": {"title": "\u00abMi tolgo gli orecchini, sono frivoli\u00bb - Le canzoni della mala milanese tra autenticit\u00e0 e romanticismo", "title_sort": "\u00abMi tolgo gli orecchini, sono frivoli\u00bb - Le canzoni della mala milanese tra autenticit\u00e0 e romanticismo", "pubdate": "2017-11-15 00:00:00+00:00", "last_modified": "2024-11-05 16:47:52.701898+00:00", "library_uuid": "d03ea605-b19d-4b98-8329-a974584f17ca", "librarian": "Matan \u0160palatrin", "_id": "8100c1f3-ade8-4c3c-af91-54961dc954d8", "tags": [], "abstract": "1", "publisher": "", "authors": ["O.

Even self-identified radicals distance themselves from looters, fearing that violent tactics reflect badly on the broader movement.But Vicky Osterweil argues that stealing goods and destroying property are direct, pragmatic strategies of wealth redistribution and improving life for the working class -- not to mention the brazen messages these methods send to the police and the state. All our beliefs about the innate righteousness of property and ownership, Osterweil explains, are built on the history of anti-Black, anti-Indigenous oppression.From slave revolts to labor strikes to the modern-day movements for climate change, Black lives, and police abolition, Osterweil makes a convincing case for rioting and looting as weapons that bludgeon the status quo while uplifting the poor and marginalized.

In a format that blends travel diary, anthropological inquiry, and philosophical and literary reflection, he narrates the hidden history of fugues \u2013 those of the runaway slave, the deserting soldier, the clandestine migrant, and all those who challenged norms and forms of control. In the space of the fugue, in the folds and retreats of dense and muggy woods, runaway countercultures appeared and spread out, cultures whose organization and values were diametrically opposed to those of colonial societies. Marronage, the art of disappearance, has never been a more timely topic: thwarting surveillance, profiling, and tracking by the police and by corporations; disappearing from databases; extending the forest\u2019s shadow by the click of a key. In our cyberconnected world, where control of individuals in real time is increasingly becoming the norm, we need to reinvent marronage and recognize the maroon as a universal figure of resistance.

I argue that while post-crisis market conditions provided an opportunity for large investors to acquire foreclosed single-family homes, convert them to rental housing, and roll out an new asset class based on bundled rent checks, these conditions were insufficient on their own. Digital innovations coming to prominence since the 2008 crisis were required to automate core functions, such as rent collection and maintenance, in order to efficiently manage large, geographically dispersed property portfolios. New information technologies enabled investors to aggregate ownership of resources, extract income flows, and securely convey these flows to capital markets. Such advances have, therefore, given rise to the \u201cautomated landlord\u201d, whereby the management of tenants and properties is increasingly not only mediated, but governed, by smartphones, digital platforms, and apps, and the data and analytics these devices and infrastructures gather and enable.

Combining political theory with ethnographic research among the Mohawks of Kahnaw\u00e0:ke, a reserve community in what is now southwestern Quebec, Audra Simpson examines their struggles to articulate and maintain political sovereignty through centuries of settler colonialism. The Kahnaw\u00e0:ke Mohawks are part of the Haudenosaunee or Iroquois Confederacy. Like many Iroquois peoples, they insist on the integrity of Haudenosaunee governance and refuse American or Canadian citizenship. Audra Simpson thinks through this politics of refusal, which stands in stark contrast to the politics of cultural recognition. Tracing the implications of refusal, Simpson argues that one sovereign political order can exist nested within a sovereign state, albeit with enormous tension around issues of jurisdiction and legitimacy. Finally, Simpson critiques anthropologists and political scientists, whom, she argues, have too readily accepted the assumption that the colonial project is complete. Belying that notion, Mohawk Interruptus calls for and demonstrates more robust and evenhanded forms of inquiry into indigenous politics in the teeth of settler governance.", "publisher": "Duke University Press", "authors": ["Audra Simpson"], "formats": [{"format": "pdf", "file_name": "Mohawk Interruptus_ Political Life Across - Audra Simpson.pdf", "dir_path": "Audra Simpson/Mohawk Interruptus_ Political Life Across the Borders of Settler States (95)/", "size": 4174581}], "cover_url": "Audra Simpson/Mohawk Interruptus_ Political Life Across the Borders of Settler States (95)/cover.jpg", "identifiers": [{"scheme": "bibhash", "code": "DXQrkRC+9UOI"}], "languages": ["eng"]}, "ae23e352-a5d0-45c0-8c75-05c8ca41e9a9": {"title": "The Young Lords: A Radical History", "title_sort": "The Young Lords: A Radical History", "pubdate": "2022-11-15 00:00:00+00:00", "last_modified": "2024-11-05 16:55:23.244603+00:00", "library_uuid": "d03ea605-b19d-4b98-8329-a974584f17ca", "librarian": "Matan \u0160palatrin", "_id": "ae23e352-a5d0-45c0-8c75-05c8ca41e9a9", "tags": [], "abstract": "Against the backdrop of America's escalating urban rebellions in the 1960s, an unexpected cohort of New York radicals unleashed a series of urban guerrilla actions against the city's racist policies and contempt for the poor. Their dramatic flair, uncompromising socialist vision for a new society, skillful ability to link local problems to international crises, and uncompromising vision for a new society riveted the media, alarmed New York's political class, and challenged nationwide perceptions of civil rights and black power protest. The group called itself the Young Lords. Utilizing oral histories, archival records, and an enormous cache of police surveillance files released only after a decade-long Freedom of Information Law request and subsequent court battle, Johanna Fernandez has written the definitive account of the Young Lords, from their roots as a Chicago street gang to their rise and fall as a political organization in New York. Led by poor and working-class Puerto Rican youth, and consciously fashioned after the Black Panther Party, the Young Lords occupied a hospital, blocked traffic with uncollected garbage, took over a church, tested children for lead poisoning, defended prisoners, fought the military police, and fed breakfast to poor children. Their imaginative, irreverent protests and media conscious tactics won reforms, popularized socialism in the United States and exposed U.S. mainland audiences to the country's quiet imperial project in Puerto Rico. Fernandez challenges what we think we know about the sixties. She shows that movement organizers were concerned with finding solutions to problems as pedestrian as garbage collection and the removal of lead paint from tenement walls; gentrification; lack of access to medical care; childcare for working mothers; and the warehousing of people who could not be employed in deindustrialized cities. The Young Lords' politics and preoccupations, especially those concerning the rise of permanent unemployment foretold the end of the American Dream. In riveting style, Fernandez demonstrates how the Young Lords redefined the character of protest, the color of politics, and the cadence of popular urban culture in the age of great dreams.", "publisher": "University of North Carolina Press", "authors": ["Johanna Fern\u00e1ndez"], "formats": [{"format": "pdf", "file_name": "The Young Lords_ A Radical History - Johanna Fernandez.pdf", "dir_path": "Johanna Fernandez/The Young Lords_ A Radical History (96)/", "size": 8287773}], "cover_url": "Johanna Fernandez/The Young Lords_ A Radical History (96)/cover.jpg", "identifiers": [{"scheme": "bibhash", "code": "TGLPK1c8FZyH"}], "languages": ["eng"]}, "eb2576cf-649a-488a-9e7d-c0c71b19abfd": {"title": "The Surrounds: Urban Life within and beyond Capture", "title_sort": "The Surrounds: Urban Life within and beyond Capture", "pubdate": "2022-11-15 00:00:00+00:00", "last_modified": "2024-11-05 16:55:18.820769+00:00", "library_uuid": "d03ea605-b19d-4b98-8329-a974584f17ca", "librarian": "Matan \u0160palatrin", "_id": "eb2576cf-649a-488a-9e7d-c0c71b19abfd", "tags": [], "abstract": "In The Surrounds renowned urbanist AbdouMaliq Simone offers a new theorization of the interface of the urban and the political.

In this article, I examine the controversial issue of \u2018institutionalization\u2019 among squatters, focusing on the few cases of legalized squats (social centres) in the city of Madrid. Negotiations with the state authorities and processes of legalization are the major forms of institutionalization involving squatters. However, an anomalous kind of institutionalization also emerges once squats, whether legalized or not, become consolidated and socially accepted. For squatting to have a successful impact, then, depends on both the type of autonomy achieved by squatters and the different outcomes of the processes of institutionalization. The case of Madrid provides empirical evidence that: (1) negotiations with state authorities were very frequent among squatters, but most were defensive; (2) the few cases of legalization were due to specific conditions such as the urban centrality of the squats, single\u2010issue identities, social network solidarity, favourable media coverage, formal organizations working as facilitators and the squatters' leadership of the process. Furthermore, legalized squats in Madrid preserved a high degree of autonomy, self\u2010management and ties to other radical social movements. In conclusion, both the legalized squats and the squatters' movement in Madrid as a whole, avoided \u2018terminal institutionalization\u2019 and, instead, gave shape to a \u2018flexible\u2019 one.", "publisher": "", "authors": ["Miguel A.

Hill compares two seemingly unrelated types of leftist protest campaigns: those intended to defend labor organizers from prosecution and those seeking to memorialize lynching victims and stop the practice of lynching. Arguing that these forms of protest are related and have substantially influenced one another, Hill points out that both worked to build alliances through appeals to public opinion in the media, by defining the American state as a force of terror, and by creating a heroic identity for their movements. Each has played a major role in the history of radical politics in the United States. Hill illuminates that history by considering the narratives produced during the abolitionist John Brown\u2019s trials and execution, analyzing the defense of the Chicago anarchists of the Haymarket affair, and comparing Ida B. Wells\u2019s and the NAACP\u2019s anti-lynching campaigns to the Industrial Workers of the World\u2019s early-twentieth-century defense campaigns. She also considers conflicts within the campaign to defend Sacco and Vanzetti, chronicles the history of the Communist Party\u2019s International Labor Defense, and explores the Black Panther Party\u2019s defense of George Jackson.As Hill explains, labor defense activists first drew on populist logic, opposing the masses to the state in their campaigns, while anti-lynching activists went in the opposite direction, castigating \u201cthe mob\u201d and appealing to the law. Showing that this difference stems from the different positions of whites and Blacks in the American legal system, Hill\u2019s comparison of anti-lynching organizing and radical labor defenses reveals the conflicts and intersections between antiracist struggle and socialism in the United States.", "publisher": "Duke University Press", "authors": ["Rebecca Hill"], "formats": [{"format": "pdf", "file_name": "Men, Mobs, and Law_ Anti-Lynching and Labo - Rebecca Hill.pdf", "dir_path": "Rebecca Hill/Men, Mobs, and Law_ Anti-Lynching and Labor Defense in U.S. Radical History (102)/", "size": 3147692}], "cover_url": "Rebecca Hill/Men, Mobs, and Law_ Anti-Lynching and Labor Defense in U.S. Radical History (102)/cover.jpg", "identifiers": [{"scheme": "bibhash", "code": "MtKF1Qei2/xv"}], "languages": ["eng"]}, "a78fdc75-d0c0-403d-a241-237bc042d140": {"title": "Well-Played Game: A Player's Philosophy", "title_sort": "Well-Played Game: A Player's Philosophy", "pubdate": "2013-11-15 00:00:00+00:00", "last_modified": "2024-11-06 10:01:59.286323+00:00", "library_uuid": "d03ea605-b19d-4b98-8329-a974584f17ca", "librarian": "Matan \u0160palatrin", "_id": "a78fdc75-d0c0-403d-a241-237bc042d140", "tags": [], "abstract": "The return of a classic book about games and play that illuminates the relationship between the well-played game and the well-lived life. In The Well-Played Game, games guru Bernard De Koven explores the interaction of play and games, offering players--as well as game designers, educators, and scholars--a guide to how games work. De Koven's classic treatise on how human beings play together, first published in 1978, investigates many issues newly resonant in the era of video and computer games, including social gameplay and player modification. The digital game industry, now moving beyond its emphasis on graphic techniques to focus on player interaction, has much to learn from The Well-Played Game. De Koven explains that when players congratulate each other on a \"well-played\" game, they are expressing a unique and profound synthesis that combines the concepts of play (with its associations of playfulness and fun) and game (with its associations of rule-following). This, he tells us, yields a larger concept: the experience and expression of excellence. De Koven--affectionately and appreciatively hailed by Eric Zimmerman as \"our shaman of play\"--explores the experience of a well-played game, how we share it, and how we can experience it again; issues of cheating, fairness, keeping score, changing old games (why not change the rules in pursuit of new ways to play?), and making up new games; playing for keeps; and winning. His book belongs on the bookshelves of players who want to find a game in which they can play well, who are looking for others with whom they can play well, and who have discovered the relationship between the well-played game and the well-lived life.", "publisher": "MIT Press", "authors": ["Bernie DeKoven"], "formats": [{"format": "epub", "file_name": "Well-Played Game_ A Player's Philosophy - Bernie DeKoven.epub", "dir_path": "Bernie DeKoven/Well-Played Game_ A Player's Philosophy (103)/", "size": 754385}], "cover_url": "Bernie DeKoven/Well-Played Game_ A Player's Philosophy (103)/cover.jpg", "identifiers": [{"scheme": "bibhash", "code": "trENF6BpvCqX"}], "languages": ["eng"]}, "01f1a464-7630-41d8-be07-6ae89fa8f6e5": {"title": "Corruption: Diagnosis and treatment", "title_sort": "Corruption: Diagnosis and treatment", "pubdate": "2006-11-15 00:00:00+00:00", "last_modified": "2024-11-05 16:48:18.499847+00:00", "library_uuid": "d03ea605-b19d-4b98-8329-a974584f17ca", "librarian": "Matan \u0160palatrin", "_id": "01f1a464-7630-41d8-be07-6ae89fa8f6e5", "tags": [], "abstract": "", "publisher": "", "authors": ["Alina Mungiu"], "formats": [{"format": "pdf", "file_name": "Corruption_ Diagnosis and treatment - Alina Mungiu.pdf", "dir_path": "Alina Mungiu/Corruption_ Diagnosis and treatment (104)/", "size": 96850}], "cover_url": "Alina Mungiu/Corruption_ Diagnosis and treatment (104)/cover.jpg", "identifiers": [{"scheme": "bibhash", "code": "D84/7YZG2iJm"}], "languages": ["eng"], "series": "Journal of democracy"}, "a94daf18-1d6f-4f8b-8842-3ebb5d7351ad": {"title": "O Que faz o Brasil, Brasil?", "title_sort": "O Que faz o Brasil, Brasil?", "pubdate": "1986-11-15 00:00:00+00:00", "last_modified": "2024-11-06 10:03:05.683660+00:00", "library_uuid": "d03ea605-b19d-4b98-8329-a974584f17ca", "librarian": "Matan \u0160palatrin", "_id": "a94daf18-1d6f-4f8b-8842-3ebb5d7351ad", "tags": [], "abstract": "Em seu \u00edmpeto de analisar as mais expressivas manifesta\u00e7\u00f5es culturais formadoras da nossa identidade como na\u00e7\u00e3o, Roberto DaMatta se pergunta O que faz o brasil, Brasil?

Roots of Brazil focuses on the multiple cultural influences that forged twentieth-century Brazil, especially those of the Portuguese, the Spanish, other European colonists, Native Americans, and Africans. Buarque de Holanda argues that all of these originary influences were transformed into a unique Brazilian culture and society\u2014a \"transition zone.\" The book presents an understanding of why and how European culture flourished in a large, tropical environment that was totally foreign to its traditions, and the manner and consequences of this development. Buarque de Holanda uses Max Weber\u2019s typological criteria to establish pairs of \"ideal types\" as a means of stressing particular characteristics of Brazilians, while also trying to understand and explain the local historical process. Along with other early twentieth-century works such as The Masters and the Slaves by Gilberto Freyre and The Colonial Background of Modern Brazil by Caio Prado J\u00fanior, Roots of Brazil set the parameters of Brazilian historiography for a generation and continues to offer keys to understanding the complex history of Brazil.

While the crumple zone in a car is meant to protect the human driver, the moral crumple zone protects the integrity of the technological system, at the expense of the nearest human operator. The concept is both a challenge to and an opportunity for the design and regulation of human-robot systems.

Specifically, animals often express a preference for risky (more variable) food sources when below a metabolic reference point (hungry), and safe (less variable) food sources when sated. Circulating hormones report the status of energy reserves and acute nutrient intake to widespread targets in the central nervous system that regulate feeding behaviour, including brain regions strongly implicated in risk and reward based decision-making in humans. Despite this, physiological influences per se have not been considered previously to influence economic decisions in humans. We hypothesised that baseline metabolic reserves and alterations in metabolic state would systematically modulate decision-making and financial risk-taking in humans. Methodology/Principal Findings We used a controlled feeding manipulation and assayed decision-making preferences across different metabolic states following a meal. To elicit risk-preference, we presented a sequence of 200 paired lotteries, subjects' task being to select their preferred option from each pair. We also measured prandial suppression of circulating acyl-ghrelin (a centrally-acting orexigenic hormone signalling acute nutrient intake), and circulating leptin levels (providing an assay of energy reserves). We show both immediate and delayed effects on risky decision-making following a meal, and that these changes correlate with an individual's baseline leptin and changes in acyl-ghrelin levels respectively. Conclusions/Significance We show that human risk preferences are exquisitely sensitive to current metabolic state, in a direction consistent with ecological models of feeding behaviour but not predicted by normative economic theory. These substantive effects of state changes on economic decisions perhaps reflect shared evolutionarily conserved neurobiological mechanisms.

Twenty-five years later, the word cynicism has acquired a totally different meaning, almost opposite: the cynic is someone routinely lying to everyone, especially him or herself. The intimate lie \u2026 the contradiction between speech and belief lies at the core of contemporary cynicism. Still, there remains a kind of consistency between the ancient notion of cynicism \u2013 rigorous truthfulness, individualism, ascetic behavior and disdain of power \u2013 and our own, which consists largely of lip service, moral unreliability and conformist subjugation to those in power. This consistency lies in an awareness of the ambiguous nature of language, and an ability to suspend the relation between language and reality, particularly in the ethical sphere. Cynicism, therefore, is closely related to irony. Both are rhetorical forms and ethical stances that require the suspension of the relation between reality and languge. Some German philosophers like Tillich and Sloterdijk use two different words to distinguish the ancient Greek cynicism discussed by Foucault and our own: Kynismus and Zynismus.

How do \"human\" prejudices reemerge in algorithmic cultures allegedly devised to be blind to them? To answer this question, this book investigates a fundamental axiom in computer science: pattern discrimination. By imposing identity on input data, in order to filter--that is, to discriminate--signals from noise, patterns become a highly political issue. Algorithmic identity politics reinstate old forms of social segregation, such as class, race, and gender, through defaults and paradigmatic assumptions about the homophilic nature of connection. Instead of providing a more \"objective\" basis of decision making, machine-learning algorithms deepen bias and further inscribe inequality into media. Yet pattern discrimination is an essential part of human--and nonhuman--cognition. Bringing together media thinkers and artists from the United States and Germany, this volume asks the urgent questions: How can we discriminate without being discriminatory?

Crouch shows that executives in profit-maximizing corporations have incentives to ignore or distort knowledge, especially firms in the information business of the mass media themselves, as financial knowledge increasingly trumps the other kinds of knowledge that business needs. Firms also seek to take control of public knowledge and use it for their own ends, often at the cost of other stakeholders in society. Meanwhile the transfer of similar practices to professional public services undermines professional skills and ethics - especially when these services are out-sourced to the private sector. Attempts to extricate ourselves from these problems involve reshaping the complex and often conflicting relationships among citizens, professionals, managers and financiers.

Everyone knows this. Each of us contributes his share. But we tend to take the situation for granted. Most people are rather confident of their ability to recognize bullshit and to avoid being taken in by it. So the phenomenon has not aroused much deliberate concern. We have no clear understanding of what bullshit is, why there is so much of it, or what functions it serves. And we lack a conscientiously developed appreciation of what it means to us. In other words, as Harry Frankfurt writes, \"we have no theory.\" Frankfurt, one of the world's most influential moral philosophers, attempts to build such a theory here. With his characteristic combination of philosophical acuity, psychological insight, and wry humor, Frankfurt proceeds by exploring how bullshit and the related concept of humbug are distinct from lying. He argues that bullshitters misrepresent themselves to their audience not as liars do, that is, by deliberately making false claims about what is true. In fact, bullshit need not be untrue at all. Rather, bullshitters seek to convey a certain impression of themselves without being concerned about whether anything at all is true. They quietly change the rules governing their end of the conversation so that claims about truth and falsity are irrelevant. Frankfurt concludes that although bullshit can take many innocent forms, excessive indulgence in it can eventually undermine the practitioner's capacity to tell the truth in a way that lying does not. Liars at least acknowledge that it matters what is true. By virtue of this, Frankfurt writes, bullshit is a greater enemy of the truth than lies are.", "publisher": "Princeton University Press", "authors": ["Harry G.

While the 1% rule, poor neighbourhoods have become the subject of public concern and media scorn, blamed for society's ills. This unique book redresses the balance. Lisa Mckenzie lived on the St Ann\u2019s estate in Nottingham for more than 20 years. Her \u2018insider\u2019 status enables us to hear the stories of its residents, often wary of outsiders. St Ann's has been stigmatised as a place where gangs, guns, drugs, single mothers and those unwilling or unable to make something of their lives reside. Yet in this same community we find strong, resourceful, ambitious people who are 'getting by', often with humour and despite facing brutal austerity.
Background Animals' attitudes to risk are profoundly influenced by metabolic state (hunger and baseline energy stores). Specifically, animals often express a preference for risky (more variable) food sources when below a metabolic reference point (hungry), and safe (less variable) food sources when sated. Circulating hormones report the status of energy reserves and acute nutrient intake to widespread targets in the central nervous system that regulate feeding behaviour, including brain regions strongly implicated in risk and reward based decision-making in humans. Despite this, physiological influences per se have not been considered previously to influence economic decisions in humans. We hypothesised that baseline metabolic reserves and alterations in metabolic state would systematically modulate decision-making and financial risk-taking in humans. Methodology/Principal Findings We used a controlled feeding manipulation and assayed decision-making preferences across different metabolic states following a meal. To elicit risk-preference, we presented a sequence of 200 paired lotteries, subjects' task being to select their preferred option from each pair. We also measured prandial suppression of circulating acyl-ghrelin (a centrally-acting orexigenic hormone signalling acute nutrient intake), and circulating leptin levels (providing an assay of energy reserves). We show both immediate and delayed effects on risky decision-making following a meal, and that these changes correlate with an individual's baseline leptin and changes in acyl-ghrelin levels respectively. Conclusions/Significance We show that human risk preferences are exquisitely sensitive to current metabolic state, in a direction consistent with ecological models of feeding behaviour but not predicted by normative economic theory. These substantive effects of state changes on economic decisions perhaps reflect shared evolutionarily conserved neurobiological mechanisms. We suggest that this sensitivity in human risk-preference to current metabolic state has significant implications for both real-world economic transactions and for aberrant decision-making in eating disorders and obesity.
In his book The courage of truth (Le courage de la verit\u00e9), a transcript of lectures delivered at the College de France in 1984, Michel Foucault speaks of Diogenes and the other ancient philosophers known as cynicists and defines their thought as the practice of telling the truth (parresia). Twenty-five years later, the word cynicism has acquired a totally different meaning, almost opposite: the cynic is someone routinely lying to everyone, especially him or herself. The intimate lie \u2026 the contradiction between speech and belief lies at the core of contemporary cynicism. Still, there remains a kind of consistency between the ancient notion of cynicism \u2013 rigorous truthfulness, individualism, ascetic behavior and disdain of power \u2013 and our own, which consists largely of lip service, moral unreliability and conformist subjugation to those in power. This consistency lies in an awareness of the ambiguous nature of language, and an ability to suspend the relation between language and reality, particularly in the ethical sphere. Cynicism, therefore, is closely related to irony. Both are rhetorical forms and ethical stances that require the suspension of the relation between reality and languge. Some German philosophers like Tillich and Sloterdijk use two different words to distinguish the ancient Greek cynicism discussed by Foucault and our own: Kynismus and Zynismus.
