Sinopse

Cursed Artifacts explores the captivating world of objects believed to carry misfortune, blending historical context, cultural beliefs, and psychological factors to understand our fascination with cursed objects. It examines how societies throughout history have imbued objects with spiritual significance, sometimes attributing malevolent power to them. The book argues that the perception of an object as cursed arises from a complex interplay of historical circumstances, cultural narratives, and individual psychological suggestion, not necessarily from inherent evil within the object itself.

 
The book progresses from introducing the concept of cursed artifacts to detailed case studies, like the Hope Diamond and Tutankhamun's Tomb, analyzing how legends and documented events contribute to their cursed reputations. It further delves into psychological phenomena such as confirmation bias and the nocebo effect, illustrating how our minds can shape our experiences.

 
By adopting a balanced and analytical approach, Cursed Artifacts provides a thought-provoking exploration of the human relationship with objects and the stories we tell about them.

    What is it like to care for another family, while yours remains in a different country? In today's capitalist society, migrant women performing care work in private households experience the painful tension of caring for both, often under precarious conditions. 
     
     
     
    Characterized as the "backstage" family, the carer's remote relationship with their loved ones at home is often purely digital, with the double dilemmas of migrant motherhood and stay-behind fathers—exposing the pitfalls of transnational employment relations and the growth of social inequality. 
     
     
     
    Here, Helma Lutz explores the debates around this issue, focusing on carers from Eastern Europe working in the West. She unpacks questions around feminist critiques of capitalism and the commodification of emotional labor, exploring how gender justice and the search for socialist feminist utopias can shape how we see a future—not only for the improvement of the carers' working and living conditions but also for a new way of dealing with care work.

    Mana. It's a big word. But what is it? Are you born with it, can you earn it, can it be taken away? 
     
    For more than five decades, Tame Iti has stood at the heart of Aotearoa's struggle for indigenous rights. From land marches to performance art, police raids to prison cells, his voice has challenged New Zealand to reckon with its colonial legacy.  
     
    Once branded as a dangerous and extreme activist, nowhailed as a national treasure, Tame has lived the contradictions and realities of standing with mana motuhake in a modern world. 
     
    After being silenced from speaking te reo Maori as a child, Tame went on to champion its revitalisation. He discovered the power of protest and what it means to live with mana in a world that often tries to strip it away. 
     
    This is his korero of the road he walked and the people who joined him. The comrades, the supporters, and the ones who tried to take him out. 
     
    Mana is the story of a man who has never stopped challenging the status quo. It cements Tame's place as one of Aotearoa's most iconic figures.
