(Not) Getting Paid to Do What You Love: Gender, Social Media, and Aspirational Work
by Brooke Erin DuffyAn illuminating investigation into a class of enterprising women aspiring to “make it” in the social media economy but often finding only unpaid work Profound transformations in our digital society have brought many enterprising women to social media platforms—from blogs to YouTube to Instagram—in hopes of channeling their talents into fulfilling careers. In this eye-opening book, Brooke Erin Duffy draws much-needed attention to the gap between the handful who find lucrative careers and the rest, whose “passion projects” amount to free work for corporate brands. Drawing on interviews and fieldwork, Duffy offers fascinating insights into the work and lives of fashion bloggers, beauty vloggers, and designers. She connects the activities of these women to larger shifts in unpaid and gendered labor, offering a lens through which to understand, anticipate, and critique broader transformations in the creative economy. At a moment when social media offer the rousing assurance that anyone can “make it”—and stand out among freelancers, temps, and gig workers—Duffy asks us all to consider the stakes of not getting paid to do what you love.
Notas para unas memorias que nunca escribiré
by Juan MarséMARSÉ INÉDITOEl pensamiento y la intimidad de uno de los grandes escritores españoles de hoy y el retrato de un país en un año muy especial «Uno de los libros más esperados de la temporada [de la mano de] una de las grandes voces de la literatura española del siglo XX.»Víctor Fernández, La Razón Este libro, insoslayable para los lectores de Marsé, para los amantes de la literatura y para todos los que quieran conocer, entender y recordar una época muy particular de España, reúne el diario que Marsé llevó en 2004, así como las notas y apuntes reunidos en varias libretas los años que siguieron. Están aquí reflejadas sus opiniones sobre Cataluña y España, sobre escritores y artistas, sobre la literatura, el periodismo, el cine y la política, y sus protagonistas; sus pequeñas y grandes luchas cotidianas (como novelista, como jurado de un polémico premio, como ciudadano, padre y abuelo entrañable); embriones de relatos, recuerdos, sentencias y poemas. Un Marsé inédito e imperdible: uno de nuestros mayores escritores, como nunca antes se nos había revelado. «El más íntegro y despiadado autorretrato del escritor» define Ignacio Echeverría, crítico y editor, a esta obra que él mismo ha editado, prologado y anotado; el libro que Juan Marsé revisó y corrigió en los últimos meses de su vida y dejó «listo para ser publicado», en sus propias palabras, poco antes de morir. La crítica ha dicho...«Un grande. Por su valía literaria. Por su honradez personal y ciudadana.»Carlos Zanón, La Vanguardia «Con Marsé, concluye un mundo.»Nadal Suau, El Cultural «El imaginario moral que nos ha legado es hoy más necesario que nunca.»Andreu Jaume, El País «Un novelista pura sangre, un narrador nato, un brillante contador de historias.»Domingo Ródenasde Moya, El Periódico «Cuando un maestro de la narración como Juan Marsé escribe con ese placer interior, el resultado es una fiesta.»Rosa Montero, Babelia «No debería haber reserva en reconocer que Marsé es, desde 1960, nuestro mejor narrador.»José Carlos Mainer, El País «Con el tiempo, se ha ido adueñando del mundo de Marsé y de su estilo narrativo una sabiduría que solo está al alcance de los mejores.»Enrique Vila-Matas «Un guerrero. […] El último de nuestros clásicos, luchador honesto y solitario, ninguneado durante décadas por el nacionalismo local.»Arturo Pérez-Reverte «Nos abría muchos caminos, nos señalaba vías que mejoraran lo que queríamos hacer con los elementos de que disponíamos. [...] Un hombre muy sofisticado, muy leído, muy centrado, casi erudito, aunque jamás se le notó.»Eduardo Mendoza «Enorme escritor y un hombre libre, sin ataduras y sin andaderas.»José Manuel Rodríguez Uribes «Un escritor que desnudó a la burguesía catalana.»Maruja Torres
Notes for Negotiating Now: Biz Books to Go
by Leslie Whitaker Elizabeth AustinNote for Negotiating Now is a part of iPublish.com's series of short books for readers on the go. Whether you're buying a house, asking for a raise, or drawing up your divorce agreement, the internal pressure to "be a good girl" can drive you to give away more than you should, or settle for less than you deserve. Don't be embarrassed; you're not alone. Women buy half of the nation's new cars every year, yet studies show they end up paying up to 40 percent more than their male counterparts. At work, they earn 77 cents for every male dollar. And when they get home, married women do far more than their fair share of the household chores. It's not surprising that so many of us are lousy negotiators. From the time we're tiny, we're encouraged to please others and deny our own needs. But the good news for good girls is that many of us already possess an arsenal of undiscovered negotiating skills. We're great listeners, keen observers of nonverbal cues, and experts at putting ourselves in the other person's shoes. Notes for Negotiating Now will help you put those extraordinary gifts to work and equip you with the self-confidence, knowledge,
Notes from Underground
by Stephen DuncombeMuch history and theory is uncovered here in the first comprehensive study of zine publishing. From their origins in early 20th century science fiction cults, their more proximate roots in '60s counter-culture and their rapid proliferation in the wake of punk rock, Stephen Duncombe pays full due to the political importance of zines as a vital network of popular culture. He also analyzes how zines measure up to their utopian and escapist outlook in achieving fundamental social change. Packed with extracts and illustrations, he provides a useful overview of the contemporary underground in all its splendor and misery.

Nothing Is True and Everything Is Possible: The Surreal Heart of the New Russia
by Peter PomerantsevIn the new Russia, even dictatorship is a reality show. <P><P>Professional killers with the souls of artists, would-be theater directors turned Kremlin puppet-masters, suicidal supermodels, Hell’s Angels who hallucinate themselves as holy warriors, and oligarch revolutionaries: welcome to the glittering, surreal heart of twenty-first-century Russia.

Nothing to Lose but Our Fear: Resistance in Dangerous Times
by Fiona JeffriesAs the Egyptian revolution gained momentum in the winter of 2011, a common refrain echoed across Cairo’s Tahrir Square: “The wall of fear came down!” Mass protests against fear and authoritarianism have also rumbled across the aggrieved streets and plazas of Tunis, Athens, Madrid, New York City, Istanbul, Rio de Janeiro, Mexico City, Delhi, and beyond. While the scale of these new uprisings may be unprecedented, the refusal of fear is not unique to our time. Nothing to Lose but Our Fear brings together an international group of scholars and activists and asks them how can we think critically and act productively in a world awash in fear. Their conversations with Fiona Jeffries provoke consideration of the often hidden histories of people’s emancipatory practices and offer reflections that can help us understand the conjuncture of systemic fear and resistance.

A Notorious Woman: Anne Royall in Jacksonian America
by Elizabeth J. ClappDuring her long career as a public figure in Jacksonian America, Anne Royall was called everything from an "enemy of religion" to a "Jackson man" to a "common scold. " In her search for the source of such strong reactions, Elizabeth Clapp has uncovered the story of a widely read woman of letters who asserted her right to a political voice without regard to her gender. Widowed and in need of a livelihood following a disastrous lawsuit over her husband’s will, Royall decided to earn her living through writing--first as a travel writer, journeying through America to research and sell her books, and later as a journalist and editor. Her language and forcefully expressed opinions provoked people at least as much as did her inflammatory behavior and aggressive marketing tactics. An ardent defender of American liberties, she attacked the agents of evangelical revivals, the Bank of the United States, and corruption in government. Her positions were frequently extreme, directly challenging the would-be shapers of the early republic’s religious and political culture. She made many enemies, but because she also attracted many supporters, she was not easily silenced. The definitive account of a passionate voice when America was inventing itself, A Notorious Woman re-creates a fascinating stage on which women’s roles, evangelical hegemony, and political involvement were all contested.

Now Dig This: The Unspeakable Writings of Terry Southern, 1950–1995 (Terry Southern Ser.)
by Terry SouthernAn unforgettable chronicle of an era by one of America&’s wildest—and most brilliant—comedic and literary minds Edited by Nile Southern and Josh Alan FriedmanStarting with his landing at the Battle of the Bulge, Terry Southern showed a knack for winding up in the world&’s most interesting places. He spent the fifties on the Left Bank of Paris, the sixties in mod London, and the seventies touring with the Rolling Stones. When the Beatles rolled out their famous pantheon of movers and shakers for the cover of Sgt. Pepper, Terry was the only guy wearing shades. When police broke heads during the &’68 democratic convention in Chicago, Southern was there to bear witness. And when Stanley Kubrick needed someone to make Dr. Strangelove funny, there was only one man qualified for the job. As the golden age of rock &’n&’ roll wound down, Southern never stopped writing, and his prose never lost its trademark intensity. Filthy, fierce, and relentlessly dazzling, these letters, essays, stories, and interviews are an electric testament to one of the keenest wits of the twentieth century. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Terry Southern including rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the author&’s estate.
Now I'm Catching On: My Life On and Off the Air
by Stephen Brunt Bob ColeHockey's most famous voice, now in his own words.If you are a hockey fan, you know Bob Cole's legendary voice. He has done the play-by-play for some of hockey's best-remembered games, including the Summit Series, Canada's gold-medal game in Salt Lake City, and twenty years of Stanley Cup finals. The infectious excitement in his voice, his boyish love of the game, and his uncanny ability to anticipate the play have earned him the affection of generations of fans, induction into the Hall of Fame, and the unofficial title of best hockey broadcaster ever. Now, for the first time, readers will see Cole at the centre of the story rather than watching it from the broadcast booth. We meet the young man growing up in Newfoundland in the years before it joins Canada. We see him talk his way into Foster Hewitt's office and into his first job. And of course we see some of the most cherished players in the game backstage: on the plane back from Russia in 1972, rubbing elbows with Bobby Orr; in the hallway on the old Montreal Forum, running into Jean Beliveau; meeting young players like Steve Stamkos, who grew up listening to him on Hockey Night in Canada. Written with the expert help of massively bestselling author and respected broadcaster Stephen Brunt, these stories come to life with the charm and detail of a conversation with Cole. They sound like Cole. No one has been closer to the game over the years than Cole, and no one is more closely associated with all we love about the game than the man whose eyes we've seen it though. Now we will see so much more through those same eyes and in that unforgettable voice.
