Story
Whether we aspire to become the best lawyer or charity worker, life partner or celebrity influencer, we emulate exemplars that exist in the world – hoping it will bring us happiness. But this often leads to a complex game of envy and pride. In Against Identity, philosopher Alexander Douglas seeks an alternative wisdom. Searching the work of three thinkers – ancient Chinese philosopher Zhuangzi, Dutch Enlightenment thinker Benedict de Spinoza, and 20th Century French theorist René Girard – he explores how identity can be a spiritual violence that leads us away from truth.

Story
What does it mean to call something "new"? Why is Western art and culture, even after postmodernism, still so obsessed with the concept? What are the consequences of relying on culture to bring about social change? In this provocative book, David Balzer argues that Western culture was never designed to produce truly new or original artifacts. Rather, we move from fixation to fixation, trend to trend—a cycle of creation and destruction with deep origins in Judeo-Christianity and the paganism that preceded it.

Claves para conocer y comprender las estrategias del gigante asiático y adaptarlas a nuestro modelo para enriquecer nuestras sociedades. El mundo que conocíamos ha cambiado. Para enfrentarnos a su complejidad necesitamos nuevas perspectivas. Sin China no se puede comprender un siglo XXI en el que sólo se progresa aprendiendo de las experiencias ajenas. ¿Qué lecciones podemos extraer de un país que se ha convertido en superpotencia en apenas cuatro décadas?

Story
Ich war zunächst nicht großartig überrascht, als wir nach langer Zeit im Herbst 2021 bei einem gemeinsamen Kaltgetränk auf die zahlreichen aktuellen Ereignisse zu sprechen kamen, die vor Monaten noch fleißig als Verschwörungstheorie diffamiert wurden. Eine Diskussion über Verschwörungstheorien ‒ oder besser gesagt: über alternative Ermittlungsansätze ‒ kann anstrengend sein. So muss man sich als offener Mensch permanent gegen Totschlagargumente zur Wehr setzen. Und dann natürlich in einer Gegenargumentation sämtliche Fakten parat haben. Und zwar stichhaltig.

In midwinter, Matariki rises in the pre-dawn sky, and its observation is celebrated with incantations on hilltops at dawn, balls, exhibitions, dinners and a vast number of events. The Matariki tradition has been re-established, and its regeneration coincides with a growing interest in Māori astronomy. Still, there remain some unanswered questions about how Matariki was traditionally observed.

Pero hoy, cuando la imparable globalización que todo lo homogeneiza ha suscitado como reacción la reivindicación de indigenismos agraviados, ningún debate cultural es más candente y delicado que el de la apropiación cultural. En este pertinente ensayo, Jens Balzer plantea este complejo debate ilustrándolo con experiencias generacionales y con la historia contemporánea de la música ligera, que a cualquier lector le resultarán familiares.

Daniel Gamper sostiene que los tiempos están maduros para nuevos aguafiestas que pongan palos en las ruedas de la risa. La risa es lenguaje y, como las palabras, puede ser cortés, falsa, amigable, mordaz, insultante y discriminadora. Tras leer este libro no volverás a reír sin antes detenerte a pensar dónde, cómo, cuándo, con quién y por qué lo haces.

Story
A queste e a tante altre domande prova a rispondere Riccardo Vedovato, che con nove storie esemplari indaga la natura umana attraverso il prisma dell'antropologia culturale, smontando preconcetti e stereotipi e svelando sorprendenti paradossi nelle nostre abitudini quotidiane. Con una narrazione avvincente e ricca di casi storici, aneddoti e riferimenti alla cultura pop, questo libro affronta i concetti di identità, folklore (e fakelore), il valore degli oggetti e il significato dei rituali sociali.
