Antipodean George Eliot (The Nineteenth Century Series)
by Margaret Harris Matthew SussmanIn Middlemarch, George Eliot famously warns readers not to see themselves as the centre of their own world, which produces a ‘flattering illusion of concentric arrangement’. The scholarly contributors to Antipodean George Eliot resist this form of centrism. Hailing from four continents and six countries, they consider Eliot from a variety of de-centred vantage points, exploring how the obscure and marginal in Eliot’s life and work sheds surprising light on the central and familiar. With essays that span the full range of Eliot’s career—from her early journalism, to her major novels, to eccentric late works such as Impressions of Theophrastus Such—Antipodean George Eliot is committed to challenging orthodoxies about Eliot’s development as a writer, overturning received ideas about her moral and political thought, and unveiling new contexts for appreciating her unparalleled significance in nineteenth-century letters.

The exercises are: FlexibleDesigned to work for individuals or groups For people of the Global Majority (BIPOC) or white peopleFor those with or without experience in addressing the effects of racismBy better understanding the neuroscience of how brains develop in response to culture, readers gain skills to interrupt implicit biases and racist constructs deep within the brain.

Antiracist Journalism: The Challenge of Creating Equitable Local News
by Andrea WenzelAcross the United States, newsrooms are grappling with systemic racism in their organizations and the media industry. Many have implemented diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives or made other attempts to confront past and present biases in pursuit of greater equity. Are such efforts merely performative, or are any transforming norms and power structures? What would it take to hold newsrooms truly accountable?Andrea Wenzel provides a critical look at how local media organizations in the Philadelphia area are attempting to address structural racism. She focuses on two established, majority-white newsrooms, the Philadelphia Inquirer and the public radio station WHYY, and two start-ups where at least half the staff identify as Black, Indigenous, or people of color (BIPOC), Resolve Philly and Kensington Voice. Drawing on more than five years of field research, Wenzel charts how these outlets have pursued a range of interventions—such as tracking the diversity of sources, examining reporting and editing practices, and working with community members to gain input—to varying degrees of success. Wenzel argues that institutional and systemic transformation will be possible only through the establishment of structures that facilitate holding those with more power responsible for listening to and addressing the needs and concerns of those with less. Offering recommendations for building infrastructure that enables sustainable accountability, Antiracist Journalism is an important book for everyone interested in making local journalism more equitable.

Antisocial: Online Extremists, Techno-Utopians, and the Hijacking of the American Conversation
by Andrew MarantzFrom a rising star at The New Yorker, a deeply immersive chronicle of how the optimistic entrepreneurs of Silicon Valley set out to create a free and democratic internet--and how the cynical propagandists of the alt-right exploited that freedom to propel the extreme into the mainstream. <P><P>For several years, Andrew Marantz, a New Yorker staff writer, has been embedded in two worlds. The first is the world of social-media entrepreneurs, who, acting out of naïvete and reckless ambition, upended all traditional means of receiving and transmitting information. The second is the world of the people he calls "the gate crashers"--the conspiracists, white supremacists, and nihilist trolls who have become experts at using social media to advance their corrosive agenda. <P><P>Antisocial ranges broadly--from the first mass-printed books to the trending hashtags of the present; from secret gatherings of neo-Fascists to the White House press briefing room--and traces how the unthinkable becomes thinkable, and then how it becomes reality. Combining the keen narrative detail of Bill Buford's Among the Thugs and the sweep of George Packer's The Unwinding, Antisocial reveals how the boundaries between technology, media, and politics have been erased, resulting in a deeply broken informational landscape--the landscape in which we all now live. <P><P>Marantz shows how alienated young people are led down the rabbit hole of online radicalization, and how fringe ideas spread--from anonymous corners of social media to cable TV to the President's Twitter feed. Marantz also sits with the creators of social media as they start to reckon with the forces they've unleashed. Will they be able to solve the communication crisis they helped bring about, or are their interventions too little too late?
Antología de crónica latinoamericana actual
by Darío Jaramillo AgudeloEsta antología, libro de cabecera para todo aquel que quiera entender el boom del periodismo narrativo, incluye textos de cronistas consagrados como Juan Villoro, Martín Caparrós, Alberto Salcedo Ramos o Leila Guerriero, entre otros. «La crónica periodística es la prosa narrativa de más apasionante lectura y mejor escrita hoy en día en Latinoamérica.» «Un lector que busque materiales que lo entretengan, lo asombren, le hablen de mundos extraños que están enfrente de sus narices, un lector que busque textos escritos por gente que le da importancia a que ese lector no se aburra, ese lector va sobre seguro si lee la crónica latinoamericana actual». «Entre los grandes capítulos de la crónica latinoamericana se encuentra la violencia (el cronista, a menudo altavoz de la víctima, se sitúa a veces fuera de la moral convencional para poder oír las razones del asesino o de quien usa a los niños como objeto sexual). Pero la crónica cuenta también con un territorio apacible, como lo muestran las que hablan de héroes literarios (Borges, Monsiváis, Pavese...), ídolos de masas (Gardel, los Rolling Stones o un futbolista estrella), historias de vidas anónimas o insólitas (como las inmersiones en la vida de alguien con el salario mínimo, o en el mundo del intercambio de parejas)...»Darío Jaramillo Agudelo Autores incluidos en la antología:Luis Fernando Afanador (Colombia)Cristian Alarcón (Chile)Alejandro Almazán (México)Toño Angulo Daneri (Perú)Marco Avilés (Perú)Frank Báez (República Dominicana)Jaime Bedoya (Perú)Sabina Berman (México)Martín Caparrós (Argentina)José Alejandro Castaño (Colombia)Laura Castellanos (México)Hernán Casciari (Argentina)Sergio Dahbar (Argentina)Heriberto Fiorillo (Colombia)Juan Forn (Argentina)Leila Guerriero (Argentina)Leonardo Haberkorn (Uruguay)Juan José Hoyos (Colombia)Mario Jursich(Colombia)Laura Kopouchian (Argentina)Pedro Lemebel (Chile)Josefina Licitra (Argentina)Liza López (Venezuela)Carlos López Aguirre (México)Carlos Martínez (El Salvador)Óscar Martínez (El Salvador)Fabrizio Mejía Madrid (México)Juan Pablo Meneses (Chile)María Moreno (Argentina)Boris Muñoz (Venezuela)José Navia (Colombia)Roberto Navia Gabriel (Bolivia)Diego Osorno (México)Cristóbal Peña (Chile)Daniel Riera (Argentina)Juan Manuel Robles (Perú)Alberto Salcedo Ramos (Colombia)Andrés Sanín (Colombia)Álvaro Sierra (Colombia)Andrés Felipe Solano (Colombia)Daniel Titinger (Perú)Alejandro Toledo (México)Roberto Valencia (Salvador)Julio Villanueva Chang (Perú)Juan Villoro (México)Gabriela Wiener (Perú)Eugenia Zicavo (Argentina)Alejandro Zambra (Chile)Selección y prólogo de Darío Jaramillo Agudelo
Antonine Maillet: Les trésors cachés - Our Hidden Treasures (The Symons Medal Series/Collection de la Médaille Symons)
by Antonine MailletA veritable artist, Maillet becomes a “creator of sounds, of colours, of forms and words.” As she speaks, she paints a vast landscape of mountains and oceans, history and story, using the tools on her palette: blending the colours of myths and those of contemporary issues, creating an epic poem in a profoundly personal voice. This country she portrays is both young and old, speaks two languages, has a rich subconscious, and aspirations. She ends her lecture by re-telling a story originally written by Rabelais— which, incidentally, was penned the same year as the discovery of America. The grande dame of storytelling uses her art to make an appeal for solidarity, in favour of the protection of cultures and the preservation of languages. Will her country, she asks, the one made “of many faces” and paradoxes, “be able to give nations of diverse origins their rightful place?” Renowned, notably, for her iconic play La Sagouine, Antonine Maillet received the prestigious Prix Goncourt for her novel Pélagie-la-Charette, thereby becoming the first non-European laureate of the most prestigious award in France. Since then, she has published over twenty novels and many plays, and also translated several celebrated authors such as Shakespeare. She is the recipient of numerous literary awards, including the Governor General Literary Award, the Royal Society of Canada’s Lorne Pierce Medal, and the Prix Goncourt. This book is bilingual.

AP Foreign Correspondents in Action: World War II to the Present
by Giovanna Dell’ortoBased on extended interviews conducted from the Pakistani countryside to Washington, AP Foreign Correspondents in Action from World War II to Today reveals for the first time what it takes to get the stories that brought the world home to America. It gives new frontline insights into major events from the Japanese surrender in 1945 to the 2010s Syrian civil war, and it helps to understand news impact on international affairs through evolving journalistic practices. Both successes and failures through eight decades of foreign correspondence from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe show that public discourse has been best served by correspondents who, at great risk, challenged accepted narratives, exposed omnipresent lies, gave a voice to the voiceless, and stymied the frequently violent efforts of those who feared truth-telling eyewitnesses. Providing a unique insider view on the making of foreign news, readers will read how those who chose, gathered and reported foreign news did so With vivid and candid eyewitness narratives as the focus, the book offers readers a new window on the major historical junctures of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries The book analyses the future of foreign correspondence, which is in crisis

The Apology Impulse: How the Business World Ruined Sorry and Why We Can’t Stop Saying It
by Cary Cooper Sean O'MearaSaying sorry is in crisis. On one hand there are anxious PR aficionados and social media teams dishing out apologies with alarming frequency. On the other there are people and organizations who have done truly terrible things issuing much-delayed statements of mild regret. We have become addicted to apologies but immune from saying sorry. In January 2018 there were 35 public apologies from high-profile organizations and individuals. That's more than one per day. Between them, in 2017, the likes of Facebook, Mercedes Benz and United Airlines issued over 2,000 words of apologies for their transgressions. Alarmingly, the word 'sorry' didn't appear once. This perfectly timed book examines the psychology, motivations and even the economic rationale of giving an apology in the age of outrage culture and on-demand contrition. It reveals the tricks and techniques we all use to evade, reframe and divert from what we did and demonstrates how professionals do it best. Providing lessons for businesses and organizations, you'll find out how to give meaningful apologies and know when to say sorry, or not say it at all. The Apology Impulse is the perfect playbook for anyone - from social media executive through to online influencers and CEOs - who apologise way too much and say sorry far too infrequently.

Appeals to Interest: Language, Contestation, and the Shaping of Political Agency
by Dean MathiowetzIt has become a commonplace assumption in modern political debate that white and rural working- and middle-class citizens in the United States who have been rallied by Republicans in the “culture wars” to vote Republican have been voting “against their interests.” But what, exactly, are these “interests” that these voters are supposed to have been voting against? It reveals a lot about the role of the notion of interest in political debate today to realize that these “interests” are taken for granted to be the narrowly self-regarding, primarily economic “interests” of the individual. Exposing and contesting this view of interests, Dean Mathiowetz finds in the language of interest an already potent critique of neoliberal political, theoretical, and methodological imperatives—and shows how such a critique has long been active in the term’s rich history. Through an innovative historical investigation of the language of interest, Mathiowetz shows that appeals to interest are always politically contestable claims about “who” somebody is—and a provocation to action on behalf of that “who.” Appeals to Interest exposes the theoretical and political costs of our widespread denial of this crucial role of interest-talk in the constitution of political identity, in political theory and social science alike.
