Sinopsis

Language Power Shift explores how language has become a focal point in the LGBTQ+ inclusion movement. It examines the evolution of LGBTQ+-inclusive language across various sectors, from media to education, highlighting the power dynamics at play. Language, often viewed as a tool for unity, can also marginalize; this book argues that adopting inclusive language represents a fundamental shift, challenging traditional assumptions and fostering a more equitable society.

The book traces the historical trajectory of LGBTQ+ terminology, revealing how terms have transformed from clinical labels to reclaimed identities. It also shows how inclusive language in policy and legislation can empower LGBTQ+ individuals. By integrating perspectives from linguistics, sociology, and political science, the book provides a comprehensive understanding of the forces shaping language use. It progresses from establishing a theoretical framework to analyzing the historical evolution of terminology, examining policy implementation, and exploring inclusive language in education, ultimately offering recommendations for navigating controversies.

This book stands apart through its intersectional approach, recognizing how experiences are shaped by various social categories. Supported by linguistic analysis, policy documents, and original research, including surveys with LGBTQ+ individuals, educators, and policymakers, it offers valuable insights for educators, policymakers, and anyone seeking to understand the power of language in shaping social attitudes.

From Pessimism to Promise -...

Payal Arora, Charles Hayes

When it comes to tech, the mainstream headlines are bleak: Algorithms control and oppress. AI will destroy democracy and our social fabric, and possibly even drive us to extinction. While legitimate concerns drive these fears, we need to equally account for the fact that tech affords young people something incredibly valuable—a rare space for self-actualization. In From Pessimism to Promise, award-winning author Payal Arora explains that, outside the West, where most of the world's youth reside, there is a significant different outlook on tech: in fact, there is a contagion of optimism toward all things digital. These users, especially those in marginalized contexts, are full of hope for new tech. 
 
 
 
Drawing on field insights in diverse global contexts such as Brazil, India, and Bangladesh, Arora describes what drives Gen Z to embrace new technologies. From Pessimism to Promise discusses the shift to relationally-driven approaches to design; how to create "algorithms of aspiration"; how to reimagine the digital space for sex, pleasure, and care; and, what we can learn from feminist digital activists and women's collectives in the Global South on shared digital provenance and value, as well as indigenous approaches to sustainability, that challenges sacred ideas on degrowth, circular economy, and the doughnut economy.

Discourse on the Method of...

René Descartes

The Discourse on Method is best known as the source of the famous quotation “cogito ergo sum”, “I think, therefore I am.” …. It is a method which gives a solid platform from which all modern natural sciences could evolve. With this work, the idea of skepticism was revived from the ancients such as Sextus Empiricus and modified to account for a truth that Descartes found to be incontrovertible. Descartes started his line of reasoning by doubting everything, so as to assess the world from a fresh perspective, clear of any preconceived notions.(Summary by Wikipedia)

Mothercare - On Obligation Love...

Lynne Tillman

Brilliantly original novelist and cultural critic Lynne Tillman became one of nearly 53 million Americans who care for a sick family member when her mother developed an unusual and little understood condition called Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus. 
 
 
 
Instantly, Tillman's independent and spirited mother went from someone she knew to someone else, a woman entirely dependent on her children—an eleven-year process through which her mother underwent many surgeries and some misdiagnoses, while the family navigated consultations and confrontations with doctors, adjusting to the complexity of her cognitive issues, including memory loss. 
 
 
 
With her notoriously exquisite writing style and reputation as a "rich noticer of strange things" (Colm Toíbín), Tillman describes, without flinching, the unexpected, heartbreaking, and frustrating years of caring for a sick parent. 
 
 
 
Mothercare is both a cautionary tale and sympathetic guidance for anyone who suddenly becomes a caregiver, responsible for the life of another—a parent, loved or not, or a friend. This story may be helpful, informative, consoling, or upsetting, but it never fails to underscore how impossible it is to get the job done completely right.
