#Accelerate: The Accelerationist Reader
by Robin Mackay Armen AvanessianAn apparently contradictory yet radically urgent collection of texts tracing the genealogy of a controversial current in contemporary philosophy.Accelerationism is the name of a contemporary political heresy: the insistence that the only radical political response to capitalism is not to protest, disrupt, critique, or détourne it, but to accelerate and exacerbate its uprooting, alienating, decoding, abstractive tendencies.#Accelerate presents a genealogy of accelerationism, tracking the impulse through 90s UK darkside cyberculture and the theory-fictions of Nick Land, Sadie Plant, Iain Grant, and CCRU, across the cultural underground of the 80s (rave, acid house, SF cinema) and back to its sources in delirious post-68 ferment, in texts whose searing nihilistic jouissance would later be disavowed by their authors and the marxist and academic establishment alike.On either side of this central sequence, the book includes texts by Marx that call attention to his own “Prometheanism,” and key works from recent years document the recent extraordinary emergence of new accelerationisms steeled against the onslaughts of neoliberal capitalist realism, and retooled for the twenty-first century.At the forefront of the energetic contemporary debate around this disputed, problematic term, #Accelerate activates a historical conversation about futurality, technology, politics, enjoyment, and capital. This is a legacy shot through with contradictions, yet urgently galvanized today by the poverty of “reasonable” contemporary political alternatives.

#Chill: Turn Off Your Job and Turn On Your Life
by Bryan E. RobinsonStop stressing and learn to chill with this mindfulness and meditation guidebook that can help workaholics and others let go of anxiety and achieve and maintain the healthy work/life balance they need.We all know good health and happiness depends on having proper balance between our professional and private lives. But in today’s hectic work environment, in which we must do more in less time with fewer resources, that goal can feel impossible to attain. We stay late at the office rather than being home with our families. We work into the night and on weekends to perfect that presentation or just catch up, rather than relaxing with a hobby or spending time with our friends. Under constant pressure to over-perform, work easily becomes the dominant force in our lives. Licensed psychotherapist and professor Bryan Robinson understands the demands we face. He also knows that it’s difficult to stop the cycle of over-work. But there is a solution. In #Chill, Robinson explains how ending the cycle of work addiction can be achieved by reframing priorities and cultivating mindfulness in our daily lives. He provides a month-by-month guide with meditations that help center and soothe us, allowing us to step back, close our eyes, take a long breath, and focus on the moment. Filled with wise advice, inspiring quotes, and gentle guidance, #Chill gives us the tools we need to quiet our anxiety, break our addiction to work, and bring compassion, calm, confidence, and creativity into our daily existence—and at last, have the peaceful, balanced life we all deserve.
#ChurchToo: How Purity Culture Upholds Abuse and How to Find Healing
by Emily Joy AllisonWhen Emily Joy Allison outed her abuser on Twitter, she launched #ChurchToo, a movement to expose the culture of sexual abuse and assault utterly rampant in Christian churches in America. Not a single denomination is unaffected. And the reasons are somewhat different than those you might find in the #MeToo stories coming out of Hollywood or Washington. While patriarchy and misogyny are problems everywhere, they take on a particularly pernicious form in Christian churches where those with power have been insisting, since many decades before #MeToo, that this sexually dysfunctional environment is, in fact, exactly how God wants it to be. #ChurchToo turns over the rocks of the church's sexual dysfunction, revealing just what makes sexualized violence in religious contexts both ubiquitous and uniquely traumatizing. It also lays the groundwork for not one but many paths of healing from a religious culture of sexual shame, secrecy, and control, and for survivors of abuse to live full, free, healthy lives.
#Con las niñas no y tampoco los niños: Feminicidio infantil una tragedia nacional indetenible
by Frida GuerreraEl libro está armado con entrevistas a funcionarios públicos, voces de niños salvados, testimonios de familiares muertos en vida por la muerte de sus pequeños, cartas desgarradoras y reflexiones que motivan un alto imperante a la violencia infantil, un compromiso social para decir basta al ataque a nuestros seres inocentes. En México, nada detiene la violencia contra las mujeres y lo más trágico es que los golpes, el abuso sexual y el asesinato ocurren también con las niñas, víctimas de la perversidad de los seres humanos, la complicidad —en muchos casos— de familiares y la indiferencia de las autoridades, de nuestros gobiernos que no aplican las medidas pertinentes para detener los feminicidios y los abusos mortales contra la infancia. #Con las niñas no. Y tampoco los niños es una investigación sin precedentes sobre el feminicidio infantil que devela cómo en la pandemia creció este delito, quiénes son los verdugos y cómo cruzan este infierno los padres de estas niñas y niños sacrificados. Además, Frida Guerrera ofrece recomendaciones sobre lo que debe hacerse en caso de violencia contra la niñez, a qué organismos acudir, líneas de denuncia y un directorio de procuradurías del país.

#DoNotDisturb: How I Ghosted My Cell Phone to Take Back My Life
by Jedediah BilaHave you ever looked at your email, then texts, then Facebook, then Twitter, then email, then Instagram, then Candy Crush, then texts, then Snapchat, then texts again, and now you’ve wasted the time you had set aside for more important things? Jedediah Bila has solved her own Obsessive Compulsive Tech Disorder, and she did it without throwing away her devices.It's time to switch on airplane mode and settle into Jedediah Bila’s #DoNotDisturb: How I Ghosted My Cell Phone to Take Back My Life.In this timely, entertaining and inspiring book, Jedediah Bila chronicles her chaotic, confusing, and all-consuming love-hate relationship with - her cell phone. Stepping back from the whirlwind of texting, social media, and an endless sea of apps, Bila questions how our relationships, character, and sanity have suffered from our deep dive into the digital abyss. Exploring the toll that tech addiction took on her life, Bila reveals her missteps and mistakes, including several upending, life-altering months swirling in an ex-boyfriend’s cell-phone-enabled double life, and how a low-tech millennial later stole her heart.Travel with Jedediah through the embarrassing and catastrophic consequences of Ménage-a-Tech relationships, social media's Perception Deception, and the One-Potato-Chip-Problem of trying to resist Silicon Valley's hypnotic, slot-machine software designed to lure you in. Bila reveals how she navigated away from an unhealthy, oversaturated diet of tech junk food to striking just the right balance with technology to let her unplugged, real-life moments take charge. In #DoNotDisturb, Bila applies her trademark no-nonsense, common-sense, personal responsibility and accountability-centered approach, warning us that if we don’t stop acting like robots, our very humanity is at stake. Through warm anecdotes and cold, hard truths, Bila reveals how she pulled her way out of the tech fog to keep her eyes focused on the life right in front of her. And how you can too.

#EdJourney
by Grant LichtmanYour formula for managing innovation and transforming learning #EdJourney: A Roadmap to the Future of Education is a refreshing change from the negativity so common in the world of education today. Over the course of a 3-month solo road trip across the United States, author Grant Lichtman discovered that there is much to be positive about in today's K-12 schools. Lichtman, one of the country's leading experts in educational innovation, interviewed over 600 teachers, administrators, students, parents, and trustees to find out what kind of innovations they're doing right--and how others can leverage their successes. Innovation in education takes hard work, planning, and cooperation. With examples from around the country and findings from the latest education research, #EdJourney maps out how administrators and teachers can embrace the innovation process that schools and learners need now. Today's 21st century education presents unique challenges and opportunities to students, and this is a trailblazing practical guide to making sure education is ready for the future. #EdJourney focuses on four key questions: What new learning strategies are the top schools implementing to prepare our students for their future rather than for our past? How do teachers and administrators manage transitions to new types of teaching and learning? What are the key obstacles to shifting away from the assembly line model of education? How can we all leverage the lessons of success from the most innovative schools? The concrete examples and advice in this book will help you bring innovation and educational design concepts into your school. #EdJourney goes beyond the theoretical need for change--by now a familiar topic to almost everyone--and takes a real-world approach to achieving transformative education in any school.
#ElFinDelPeriodismo: Historias de un oficio perdido o cómo eran las redacciones antes de internet
by Jorge C. Bernárdez Luciano Di VitoA través de entrevistas a doce de los periodistas de mayor trayectoria en el país, los autores reconstruyen un mundo en vías de extinción: el de las redacciones de algunos de los diarios y las revistas más importantes de la Argentina, con experiencias fundamentales de la radio y la televisión. El resultado es un retrato del periodismo de investigación que supimos tener... antes de Twitter y Google. Los autores se preguntan sobre el destino del periodismo en tiempos de Internet, Twitter y un universo nuevo de noticias de acceso y consumo veloces, pero dudosas, y en el que la opinión le gana lugar a la información. Dignos discípulos de una raza de periodistas en vías desaparición, para reconstruir cómo vivieron este oficio las últimas generaciones predigitales -hace tan solo dos, tres, cuatro décadas-, Bernárdez y Di Vito van a las fuentes, en busca del testimonio directo de varios de sus principales, más curtidos e inteligentes protagonistas. En las páginas de El fin del periodismo, recuerdan cómo empezaron, cómo era una redacción cuando aún se podía fumar en interiores, y cómo era investigar una noticia sin Google. Entrevistan a personajes enormes como Ernesto Cherquis Bialo (ex director de El Gráfico, gerente de deportes de Telefe, vocero de AFA, coautor de Yo soy el Diego de la gente, actualmente en Infobae), Jorge Fernández Díaz, Beto Casella, Any Ventura, Gerardo Rozin (actual conductor de Morfi, todos a la mesa), Teresita Ferrari (El Día, Siete Días, La Semana, Para Ti, Cosmopolitan; fue productora de La noticia rebelde y colaboradora de Juan Alberto Badía y Fernando Bravo), Carlos Ulanovsky, Enrique Vázquez (revista Humo®), Fernando Cerolini (Tiempo Argentino, TN, revista Pronto), Rubén Oliva (Edición Plus en Telefé), Cecilia Absatz (Para Ti, Noticias y La Nación; TN), y Fernando González (rector de Tea, ex Radio del Plata, Perfil y Página/30 y autor de La cocina de la noticia).
#EllosHablan: Testimonios de hombres, la relación con sus padres, el machismo y la violencia.
by Lydia Cacho«El machismo es la idealización de la violencia como medio, como fin, como instrumento educativo coercitivo; es una trampa que normaliza lo inaceptable.» Con estas palabras Lydia Cacho define el punto de partida de este libro imprescindible. #EllosHablan son testimonios de diversos hombres que hablan de su infancia y ponen en evidencia la violencia que vivieron en su entorno. Ellos nos dejan ver cómo en el ambiente hogareño y hostil, los niños normalizan aquello que más tarde detonará en relaciones verticales, violentas y discriminatorias que avalan un sistema de impunidad y paternalismo salvaje. Lydia Cacho va a contracorriente de nuevo; acompaña a los hombres a mirarse al espejo en busca de un diálogo abierto en el que ellos hablan para entender los orígenes de la violencia. La autora nos invita a pensar desde otro lugar para desmenuzar esto que llamamos "el hombre normal". Una investigación que busca replantear el liderazgo masculino; cuestionar la sumisión ante la violencia a fin de que niños y jóvenes tengan nuevos asideros para construir su identidad sin atavismos. «El machismo es como una prisión bajo tierra. Un lugar rabioso, sobrepoblado y solitario a la vez. En ese sitio, todo se trata de romper a otros o que te rompan. Y uno descubre que está allá abajo un día, que está desde niño. Y entonces, a veces, uno decide escalar, rasparse, golpearse, arañarse y alejarse todo lo posible. Porque si hay una mejor vida que esa, seguro que está en otro lado.» Antonio Ortuño, escritor
#Enamórate
by Andrea VilallongaVuelve la coach más destacada y mediática. A los clientes, a los compañeros, incluso a los jefes los podemos querer. Obviamente no con el mismo tipo de amor que a los seres que hemos escogido en la vida. Tras mucho tiempo con las mismas personas (tanto en el entorno profesional como en el personal) la rutina hace mella y el «amor» se desvanece. ¿Cómo podemos recuperar o mantener este amor en el entorno laboral? Mediante un análisis en cinco fases estaremos en condiciones de decidir y entender qué hacer para mantener el amor vivo en cualquier ámbito: .¿Realmente quieres volver a querer?.Si no puedes cambiar de trabajo ¿qué actitud estas tomando al respecto?.¿Tomas la responsabilidad de reavivar la llama del amor o esperas a que surja?.¿Podemos recrear paso a paso el proceso de enamoramiento para encontrar o volver a encontrar la motivación en nuestro día a día laboral?.¿Podemos responsabilizarnos de la continuidad del amor en nuestras vidas? La decisión está en tus manos, ¿sigues sobreviviendo o decides vivir bien? Cuando les pregunto a las personas por el amor, en seguida piensan en hijos, parejas, familia, mascotas... Raramente me han dicho trabajo, compañeros, clientes, jefes... Es curioso, porque el amor se define como un sentimiento de vivo afecto e inclinación hacia una persona o cosa a la que se le desea todo lo mejor. Y yo pienso: pues a los clientes, a los colegas e incluso a los jefes los podemos querer. A los clientes para que nos compren, a los compañeros para que nos aguanten (y viceversa), a los jefes para que nos tengan en cuenta. Piensa que seguramente pasas más tiempo con ellos que con las personas que realmente quieres o has escogido en la vida. Cuando nos desenamoramos de las personas que nos rodean (tanto en el ámbito profesional como en el personal) lo más fácil es tirar la relación por la borda, culpar a los demás y romper o decidir seguir, pero infelices. Sin embargo la pregunta que debemos hacernos es: ¿qué estoy haciendo yo para mantener esa relación?
#FeesMustFall and Youth Mobilisation in South Africa: Reform or Revolution? (Routledge Contemporary South Africa)
by Musawenkosi W NdlovuThis book examines the historical FeesMustFall (FMF) university student protests that took place in South Africa and shows how the enduring historical construction, representation and conceptualisation of South African youth (as typically radical and political) contributed to the (mis)interpretation of FMF protests, and led to a discourse on an African National Congress-toppling revolution. Arguing that the student protests were not the revolutionary movement they have been represented as, Ndlovu demonstrates that ideological divisions amongst the protestors, the declining economy, and reduced youth participation in the political public sphere cannot lead to a new revolution in South African politics. This book will be of interest to students and scholars interested in South African politics, higher education, democracy and protest movements.

#GIRLBOSS
by Sophia Amoruso"A #GIRLBOSS is in charge of her own life. She gets what she wants because she works for it." The first thing Sophia Amoruso sold online wasn't fashion--it was a stolen book. She spent her teens hitchhiking, committing petty theft, and dumpster diving. By twenty-two, she had resigned herself to employment, but was still broke, directionless, and working a mediocre day job she'd taken for the health insurance. It was there that Sophia decided to start selling vintage clothes on eBay. Eight years later, she is the founder, CEO, and creative director of Nasty Gal, a $100 million plus online fashion retailer with more than 350 employees. Sophia's never been a typical CEO, or a typical anything, and she's written #GIRLBOSS for outsiders (and insiders) seeking a unique path to success, even when that path is winding as all hell and lined with naysayers. #GIRLBOSS includes Sophia's story, yet is infinitely bigger than Sophia. It's deeply personal yet universal. Filled with brazen wake-up calls ("You are not a special snowflake"), cunning and frank observations ("Failure is your invention"), and behind-the-scenes stories from Nasty Gal's meteoric rise, #GIRLBOSS covers a lot of ground. It proves that being successful isn't about how popular you were in high school or where you went to college (if you went to college). Rather, success is about trusting your instincts and following your gut, knowing which rules to follow and which to break. A #GIRLBOSS takes her life seriously without taking herself too seriously. She takes chances and takes responsibility on her own terms. . She knows when to throw punches and when to roll with them. When to button up and when to let her freak flag fly. As Sophia writes, "I have three pieces of advice I want you to remember: Don't ever grow up. Don't become a bore. Don't let The Man get to you. OK? Cool. Then let's do this."
