צריך לדבר על זוגיות. לדבר על מה שמרוב קרבה כבר לא רואים אותו, שהוא שגור ומצוי כל כך עד כי נדמה שהוא האמת שעמה נברא העולם. ובכל זאת הוא אינו כזה. והדיבור נדרש כדי לנער...

פשיזם! פשיסט! נהפכו לתארים וכינויי גנאי נפוצים ביותר בימינו, ושימושיהם יכולים לסמן דבר והיפוכו. אבל האם אי-פעם ירדנו לעומקה של האידיאולוגיה הזו? האם בחברה שלנו...

Как меняются герои нашего времени? Почему многих притягивает советское прошлое, которое мы так и не сумели понять? Почему мы любим идеализировать бандитов? Почему все больше люди добровольно выставляют свою частную жизнь на публичное обозрение? На примере известных кинофильмов и сериалов – от «Шоу Трумана» до «Доктора Хауса» – социолог, доктор экономических наук, автор исследования о миленниалах Вадим Радаев размышляет о жизненных вопросах, которые волнуют каждого из нас.

A lifelong liberal from the San Francisco Bay Area, David Yamane became a new gun owner as a 42-year-old and embarked on an immersive twelve-year study of American gun culture. Weaving together his personal experiences and sociological observations to explain why guns make sense to those who own them, he illuminates defensive gun ownership, the risk of negative outcomes associated with firearms, and what responsible gun ownership looks like in the twenty-first century. This book lowers the heat on America’s inflamed arguments about firearms and models the civil discussions we desperately need.

From New Year’s resolutions to Christmas consumerism, Halloween sugar rituals to birthday performance pressure, The Holiday Business walks you month-by-month through the cultural con. This isn’t a book about hating holidays. It’s about reclaiming them. It’s about seeing how sacred rituals became revenue events, how love got priced, and how freedom got scheduled. If you’ve ever felt strange about the way we celebrate —this is your permission to stop pretending.

From the schoolyard to the workplace, from political rallies to social media feeds, we are constantly influenced by the groups around us. Sometimes that influence is benign, even beneficial—it helps communities function, ensures cooperation, and keeps social life flowing smoothly. At other times, it can lead to silence in the face of injustice, blind obedience to authority, or the chilling grip of groupthink. Why We Conform explores this paradox in depth, revealing why the desire to fit in runs so deep, how it shapes our daily lives, and what happens when it goes too far.

Ao discutir questões perturbadoras como preconceito, cultura da violência e efeitos da comunicação – e da persuasão – de massa, passando por temas tão diversos como atração pessoal, bullying, política, propaganda e ética, Elliot e Joshua Aronson revelam os padrões e motivações que levam os seres humanos a agir de determinada forma. Referência nos estudos de psicologia social, este livro explica por que a pesquisa nessa área é tão relevante e como pode nos ajudar a compreender, e talvez começar a resolver, alguns dos problemas que afligem a sociedade contemporânea.

A sociedade paliativa é uma sociedade do curtir. Ela degenera em uma mania de curtição. O like é o signo, o analgésico do presente. Ele domina não apenas as mídias sociais, mas todas as esferas da cultura. Nada deve provocar dor. Não apenas a arte, mas também a própria vida tem de ser instagramável; ou seja, livre de ângulos e cantos, de conflitos e contradições que poderiam provocar dor. Esquece-se que a dor purifica. Falta, à cultura da curtição, a possibilidade da catarse. (Trecho da obra)

A democracia em tempo real sonhada nos inícios da digitalização como democracia do futuro se mostra como uma ilusão completa. Enxames digitais não formam um coletivo responsável, que age politicamente. Os followers, na condição de novos súditos das mídias sociais, deixam-se adestrar em gado de consumo por smart influencers, influenciadores inteligentes. Ficam despolitizados. A comunicação dirigida pelos algoritmos nas mídias sociais não é nem livre, nem democrática.

El Contrato Social, escrito por Rousseau en 1762, es un tratado político fundamental que defiende la idea de un contrato social basado en la voluntad general de la población. Rousseau argumenta que la soberanía debe residir en el pueblo y que los individuos deben someterse a la voluntad colectiva para preservar la libertad y la igualdad. La obra discute los conceptos de democracia directa, la importancia de la participación ciudadana y la necesidad de un gobierno legítimo basado en el consentimiento de la población.

Flight, Flight, Mimic is the first systematic study of deceptive mimicry in the context of wars. Deceptive mimicry—the manipulation of individual or group identity—includes passing off as a different individual, as a member of a group to which one does not belong, or, for a group, to "sign" its action as another group.

A Delicate Balance of Reason is an observational critique of the contemporary 'culture wars' through the eyes of someone who has experienced the full weight of their effects firsthand. Flashpoint topics such as the trans debate, academic free speech, cancel culture and 'presentism' in art and literature are all covered; elsewhere there are more gonzo-esque, snapshot takes - caught, tidied up, and delivered with algorithmic immediacy.

Mirrors is a look at the panopoly of mirrors we confront in our modern daily life - for better or worse. Ongoing self reflections are unavoidable and come in all forms from the expected to the unexpected.

​Hopeful, accessible, winsome, and deeply wise, The Road to Wisdom leads us beyond current animosities to surer footing. Here is the moral, philosophical, and scientific framework with which to address the problems of our time - on the world stage, but also in our daily lives.

Ed Uszynski—whose PhD in American culture studies navigated readings in Marxism, Critical Theory, and Critical Race Theory—carefully unpacks what critical race theorists seek to accomplish and what Christians can learn from them. Uszynski generously explores CRT's roots, context, and central tenets, revealing how its insights are used and distorted but also how they might benefit the church.

A paradigm-shifting new approach to ending the epidemic of violence in our lifetime, using the same epidemic control playbook that has rid the world of other contagious diseases. “Leads us down an entirely new path to a world beyond violence” —Nicholas Kristoff Violence is often described...

Un sincero y revelador análisis de las posibilidades energéticas de nuestro futuro. Así pues, este libro aborda temas tan importantes como la improbable y difícil tarea de descarbonizar el planeta, en parte por la estrecha relación entre la producción de alimentos y los combustibles fósiles, pero también destapa realidades incómodas, como la dependencia de las economías modernas respecto de la alta producción de amoníaco, metal, cemento y plástico.
