Sinopse

In "The History of Duelling (Vol. 1 & 2)," J. G. Millingen provides a comprehensive and meticulously researched account of the practice and cultural significance of duelling across various societies and historical periods. With an engaging narrative style, Millingen deftly intertwines anecdotes, legal perspectives, and philosophical musings, revealing duelling as not merely a violent pastime, but as a complex ritual steeped in notions of honor, social status, and morality. The work reflects the Enlightenment's fascination with human behavior and societal norms, calling attention to the psychological and ethical dimensions that have historically governed the practice of duelling. J. G. Millingen, an accomplished physician and author, presents this work drawing on his extensive knowledge of human nature and societal constructs. His background in medicine and psychology, coupled with his acute awareness of the social mores of his time, informs his critical exploration of the motivations behind duelling. By situating the practice within a broader discourse of honor and ethical conduct, Millingen highlights the intersection of personal and societal dynamics that contributed to the prevalence of duelling in his era. For scholars of social history, literature, or ethics, Millingen's "The History of Duelling" is an invaluable resource that illuminates the intricate relationship between individual agency and societal expectations. As an essential reference for understanding the evolution of honor culture, this text invites readers to reflect on the implications of duelling in contemporary discussions of conflict resolution and personal integrity.

    The Digital Factory reveals the hidden human labor that supports today’s digital capitalism. 
  
The workers of today’s digital factory include those in Amazon warehouses, delivery drivers, Chinese gaming workers, Filipino content moderators, and rural American search engine optimizers. Repetitive yet stressful, boring yet often emotionally demanding, these jobs require little formal qualification, but can demand a large degree of skills and knowledge. This work is often hidden behind the supposed magic of algorithms and thought to be automated, but it is in fact highly dependent on human labor. 
  
The workers of today’s digital factory are not as far removed from a typical auto assembly line as we might think. Moritz Altenried takes us inside today’s digital factories, showing that they take very different forms, including gig economy platforms, video games, and Amazon warehouses. As Altenried shows, these digital factories often share surprising similarities with factories from the industrial age. As globalized capitalism and digital technology continue to transform labor around the world, Altenried offers a timely and poignant exploration of how these changes are restructuring the social division of labor and its geographies as well as the stratifications and lines of struggle.

We think of the modern woman as sexually liberated – if anything, we’re told we’re oversexed. Yet a striking number of women are dissatisfied with their sex lives. Over half of women report having a sexual complaint, whether that’s lack of desire or difficulty reaching orgasm. But this issue doesn’t get much press; the urge is to ignore or medicalize it (witness the quest for ‘pink Viagra’). If so many ordinary women suffer from sexual frustration, then perhaps the problem isn’t one that can be addressed by a pharmaceutical fix – or isn’t a problem. Maybe we need to get hot and bothered about a broader cultural cure: a reorienting of our current male-focused approach to sex and pleasure, and a rethinking of what’s ‘normal.’
  
   
Using a blend of reportage, interview and first-person reflection, journalist Sarah Barmak explores the cutting-edge science and grassroots cultural trends that are getting us closer to truth of women’s sexuality. Closer reveals how women are reshaping their sexuality today in wild, irrepressible ways: nude meetings, how-to apps, trans-friendly porn, therapeutic vulva massage, hour-long orgasms and public clit-rubbing demonstrations – and redefining female sexuality on its own terms.
  
   
‘Closer tackles its subject with eloquence, intelligence and humour … I recommend it to my friends of all genders, my boyfriend, my sisters, and especially the woman who started it all, my mother.’
