  An exuberant, incisive look at how Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater transformed a culture
  		 
  Going from a hobby toy for surfers to an Olympic sport, skateboarding has had a tumultuous history. Today, professional skateboarders land endorsement deals with Nike and Adidas, while popular television series like HBO’s Betty tell the stories of diverse crews of skaters living in New York City. So how did a fledgling subculture rise from its near-death knell in the ’90s to become ubiquitous today? It was simply a matter of finding the right messenger.
  		 
  In 1999, the bestselling video game Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater was released, and a new generation was exposed to skateboarding culture right in their very own homes. Kids and adults alike could now spend hours playing as actual skateboarders, learning the vernacular, listening to the music skateboarders loved, and having fun onscreen before trying to skate IRL in the driveway.
  		 
  Right, Down + Circle explores how a video game starring the most famous pro skater in the world brought skateboarding culture — and its ever-shifting markers of music, subversion, and coolness — to the masses and ultimately transformed the culture it borrowed from in the process.

  Classical Japan - Art Power and...

  The classical era of Japan was defined by a rich interplay of art, power, and evolving traditions, spanning the Nara, Heian, and Kamakura periods. The Nara Period saw the establishment of Japan’s first permanent capital, heavily influenced by Chinese culture, with Buddhism gaining prominence and shaping religious and artistic developments.  
  The Heian Period marked the height of imperial court culture, where poetry, literature, and refined aesthetics flourished under the rule of aristocratic families like the Fujiwara. It was also during this time that the kana writing system emerged, giving rise to literary masterpieces such as The Tale of Genji. As courtly elegance gave way to the rise of the samurai, the Kamakura Shogunate ushered in a new era of warrior rule, led by the Minamoto clan.  
  The establishment of a military government transformed Japan’s political landscape, laying the groundwork for feudal society while facing external threats like the Mongol invasions. These three periods together shaped Japan’s cultural and political identity, leaving an enduring legacy that continues to influence the nation today.

  Lacan Sucks and So Do You - A...

  What if your political identity, your core beliefs, and even your taste in snack food weren’t really yours? What if they were built out of language, hijacked by desire, and quietly manipulated by slogans, myths, and a Symbolic Order you didn’t ask to be born into? 
  Welcome to the world of Jacques Lacan, where nothing means what it seems, and everything is your unconscious acting out. 
  Lacan Sucks is your brutally sarcastic, surprisingly accurate guide to Lacan’s theory of language, power, and why you keep voting against your own interests. From signifiers that never shut up to unconscious desires that vote without you, this book breaks down how politics doesn’t just use language—it is language. 
  Through roast-level commentary, existential side-eye, and actual philosophical insight (yes, really), this book unpacks: 
  How language doesn’t reflect reality—it constructs it 
  Why you’re not an individual, you’re a pre-written script with anxiety 
  How politicians weaponize your desires with slogans and symbols 
  What the hell Lacan meant by “the unconscious is structured like a language” 
  And how to fight back using the one weapon they fear: your own damn voice 
  If you’ve ever felt manipulated by political discourse, confused by your own identity, or just wanted to scream into a pillow while reading Écrits, this is the book for you. 
  No degree in psychoanalysis or philosophy required. Just a sense of humor and a lingering suspicion that reality might be rigged.
