Economics and Semiotics
Everything in our world can be interpreted as a sign. This opens up the question: How do we proceed from semantics to pragmatics, from theory to practice and vice versa? What is the nature of the relation between interpretation, action and reality? And, what can we learn by viewing economics and the economy through this lens? This volume gathers together a broad range of scholars in order to address issues relating to the intersection of economics and semiotic theory. Using concepts from the fields of economics and semiotics, the contributors to this volume revisit past and present theories and reinterpret models of thought and expression to show that our preconceptions about the economy can...
The Extreme Gone Mainstream
"This book comes at a time that could hardly be more important. Miller-Idriss opens up a completely new approach to understanding the processes of violent radicalization through subcultural products...(and) will surely become a standard work in the study of right-wing extremism."--Daniel Koehler, founder and director of the German Institute on Radicalization and De-Radicalization Studies.dies.
Capitalism as Megamachine
The concept of a “megamachine” – a closed system operating to a pre-established utilitarian purpose which results in the machinisation of humanity – has existed in various forms since at least the late 19th century. This book builds on previous attempts to define and analyse the machine and argues that modern industrial capitalism is at the heart of it.

The second part of the book proposes a new analysis of the nature of the Megamachine, beginning with a historical, sociological and p...
Earth and World
Critically engaging the work of Immanuel Kant, Hannah Arendt, Martin Heidegger, and Jacques Derrida together with her own observations on contemporary politics, environmental degradation, and the pursuit of a just and sustainable world, Kelly Oliver lays the groundwork for a politics and ethics that embraces otherness without exploiting difference. Rooted firmly in human beings' relationship to the planet and to each other, Oliver shows peace is possible only if we maintain our ties to earth and world. Oliver begins with Immanuel Kant and his vision of politics grounded on earth as a finite surface shared by humans. She then incorporates Hannah Arendt's belief in plural worlds constituted th...
Inscribed Identities
Autobiography is a long-established literary modality of self-exposure with commanding works such as Augustine’s Confessions, Rousseau’s book of the same title, and Salvador Dalí’s paradoxical reformulation of that title in his Unspeakable Confessions. Like all genres with a distinguished career, autobiography has elicited a fair amount of critical and theoretical reflection. Classic works by Käte Hamburger and Philippe Lejeune in the 1960s and 70s articulated distinctions and similarities between fiction and the genre of personal declaration. Especially since Foucault’s seminal essay on "Self Writing," self-production through writing has become more versatile, gaining a broader ra...
