¿Qué tienen en común la desaparición de las variedades de manzana, la aparición de políticos en programas de entrevistas, el fundamentalismo religioso y el mercado del arte y la música?

En la actualidad, la complejidad, la pluralidad y la diversidad ya no se perciben como un enriquecimiento.

La filosofia non è mai stata innocente. Ha perso la verginità in piazza, ai tempi di Socrate, e si è guardata indietro senza nessun rimpianto. XXI secolo: la mercificazione della nostalgia filosofica ci propina un passato che non è mai esistito. La filosofia è stata relegata nelle aule universitarie.

È tempo di portare la battaglia filosofica nella popular culture, usando le armi migliori a disposizione della filosofia: dal pensiero critico alla decostruzione. Ma in modo inedito.

Race and the Suburbs in American Film is a stimulating resource for considering the manner in which race is foundational to architecture and urban geography, which is reflected, promoted, and challenged in cinematic representations.

As Daphné B. obsessively watches YouTube makeup tutorials and haunts Sephora’s website, she’s increasingly troubled by the ways in which this obsession contradicts her anti-capitalist and intersectional feminist politics. In this poetic treatise, she rejects the false binaries of traditional beauty standards and delves into the celebrities and influencers who have shaped the reflection she sees in the mirror. At once confessional and essayistic, Made-Up is a meditation on the makeup that colors, that obscures, that highlights who we are and who we wish we could be.

A staunch feminist of mixed-race heritage, Hanna has succeeded in an industry not designed for people like her. Interweaving anecdotes from familial and personal experiences—episodes of messy sex, introspection, and that time actor Vincent D'Onofrio tweeted that Hanna Flint sounded 'like a secret agent'—she offers a critical eye on the screen's representation of women and ethnic minorities, their impact on her life, body image and ambitions, with the humour and eloquence that has made her a leading film critic of her generation.

Schwitzen im Proberaum einer Moskauer Rockband. Ehemalige Sowjetrepubliken, die Kabardino-Balkarien heißen. Ein Stripclub an der Wolga. Techno Clubs, in denen nichts zufällig passiert.

In 1970, Erin Keane’s mother ran away from home for the first time. She was thirteen years old. Over the next several years, and under two assumed identities, she hitchhiked her way across America, experiencing freedom, hardship, and tragedy. At fifteen, she met a man in New York City and married him. He was thirty-six. Through a deft balance of journalistic digging, cultural criticism, and poetic reimagining, Keane pieces together the true story of her mother’s teenage years, questioning almost everything she’s been told about her parents and their relationship.

Psychotherapist and former pastor Eric Minton claims that the pernicious melding of capitalism and Christianity means a world of competition, perfection, and scarcity disguised as self-help and self-care. Rather than shaming, silencing, or medicating away our disappointment at not having obtained the happiness we were promised, however, Minton posits a radical alternative. In an impertinent, droll, yet pastoral voice, Minton suggests that our "not-okayness" will require rethinking everything we thought we knew.
