Several of the most prolific and influential conspiracy theories have originated in Eastern Europe. The far reaching influence of conspiracy narratives can be observed in recent developments in Poland or with regard to the wars waged in Eastern Ukraine and in former Yugoslavia. This volume analyses the history behind this widespread phenomenon as well the role it has played in Eastern European cultures and literature both past and present.

An apparently contradictory yet radically urgent collection of texts tracing the genealogy of a controversial current in contemporary philosophy.Accelerationism is the name of a contemporary political heresy: the insistence that the only radical political response to capitalism is not to protest, disrupt, critique, or détourne it, but to accelerate and exacerbate its uprooting, alienating, decoding, abstractive tendencies.#Accelerate presents a genealogy of accelerationism, tracking the impulse through 90s UK darkside cyberculture and the theory-fictions of Nick Land, Sadie Plant, Iain Grant, and CCRU, across the cultural underground of the 80s (rave, acid house, SF cinema) and back to its sources in delirious post-68 ferment, in texts whose searing nihilistic jouissance would later be disavowed by their authors and the marxist and academic establishment alike.On either side of this central sequence, the book includes texts by Marx that call attention to his own “Prometheanism,” and key works from recent years document the recent extraordinary emergence of new accelerationisms steeled against the onslaughts of neoliberal capitalist realism, and retooled for the twenty-first century.At the forefront of the energetic contemporary debate around this disputed, problematic term, #Accelerate activates a historical conversation about futurality, technology, politics, enjoyment, and capital. This is a legacy shot through with contradictions, yet urgently galvanized today by the poverty of “reasonable” contemporary political alternatives.

The first thing Sophia Amoruso sold online wasn't fashion. It was a stolen book. At age 17 she was a dumpster-diving, shoplifting anarchist. By 29 she was the founder and CEO of Nasty Gal, a $100 million plus fashion empire. This is a book for anyone seeking a unique path to success - even when that path is winding as all hell and lined with naysayers.

** OVER 300,000 COPIES SOLD!! ** Number 1 Amazon BEST SELLER over the last 74 weeks! I took home more in a year than the CEOs of McDonalds, IKEA, Ford, Motorola, and Yahoo....combined....as a kid in my twenties....using the $100M Offer method. It works. And it will work for you. Not that long ago though, my business had gotten so bad that I literally couldn't even give my services away for free. At the end of each month, I would look at my bank account hoping to see progress (but there wasn't). I knew something had to change...but what? Over the next 48 months, I went from losing money to making $36 for every $1 spent. In that time period, we generated over $120,000,000 across four different industries: service, e-commerce, software, and brick & mortar. But, unlike everyone else, we didn't have great funnels, great ads, or a wealthy niche. In fact, we didn't even send emails until we had crossed $50M in sales(!). Instead, we were able to do this one thing really well....we created offers so good, people felt stupid saying no. Here's exactly what this book will show you how to do: How To Charge a Lot More Than You Currently Are... a- The Tiny Market Big Money Process we use to laser focus on niche markets overflowing with cash b- The "Unfair" Pricing formula....how we 100x'd our pricing (and got more people to say yes....for real) c- The Value Flip...so you never get price compared again (that's a promise) d- The Virtuous Cycle of Price...use it to outspend your competition (for good) while using your product to attract the best talent. How To Make Your Product So Good, Prospects Find A Way To Pay For It a- The Unbeatable Value Equation....to make what you sell worth more than your prospects have ever received b- The Delivery Cube....to make delivering your products and services cost less but provide more c- The Trim & Stack Hack....to maximize profit using the absolute best delivery methods. (This has never been shared publicly and was how we made $17M in profit on $28M in revenue in a year when I was 28 years old). How To Enhance Your Offer So Much, Prospects Buy Without Hesitating a- The Scarcity Stack....how to use the three different types of scarcity in every offer you make (without lying) to get people to buy the moment you ask b- The "Everyday" Urgency Blueprint... to get prospects to buy RIGHT NOW, using everyday life to create real, ethical time pressure c- Unbeatable Bonuses...and watch your prospects' hesitations melt away as they begin reading their credit cards to you before you even finish! d- God-mode Guarantees...so good they make anyone say yes (even people who would never normally consider buying). I'll show you how to stack and layer all 4 types of guarantees together. I even give you my 13 favorite guarantees word-for-word to swipe for yourself. e- Magic Naming Formula to get the absolute highest response rates and conversion rates from everything you do to get new clients and so much more... The methods contained within this book are so simple, so instantaneous, and so effective, it's as if they work by magic. If you implement even one tactic in this book, you'll see the change in your prospects' demeanor. And you'll know the $100M Offer method worked when you start hearing "What do I need to do to move forward?" ...before you even ask for the sale.

This book contains a multitude of challenging problems and solutions that are not commonly found in classical textbooks. One goal of the book is to present these fascinating mathematical problems in a new and engaging way and illustrate the connections between integrals, sums, and series, many of which involve zeta functions, harmonic series, polylogarithms, and various other special functions and constants. Throughout the book, the reader will find both classical and new problems, with numerous original problems and solutions coming from the personal research of the author. Where classical problems are concerned, such as those given in Olympiads or proposed by famous mathematicians like Ramanujan, the author has come up with new, surprising or unconventional ways of obtaining the desired results. The book begins with a lively foreword by renowned author Paul Nahin and is accessible to those with a good knowledge of calculus from undergraduate students to researchers, and will appeal to all mathematical puzzlers who love a good integral or series.

(Dis)Orientation appears to be a phenomenon that is connected to media in numerous respects: today, finding your way in the world often means finding your way with the help of as well as within media, which in turn creates new virtual realms of (dis)orientation. This book deals with recent media technologies and structures (navigation devices, databases, transmediality) and unconventional narrative patterns (narrative complexity, plot twists, non-linearity), using the ambivalent concept of (dis)orientation as a shared focus to analyse various phenomena of contemporary media, thereby raising overarching questions about current mediascapes.

(L)earn Bitcoin is the best Bitcoin book to decide why and how you should begin to invest in Bitcoin. It presents Bitcoin in all its facets from technical, economical, political and social implications to how it evolves in the current monetary landscape. It provides a step-by-step roadmap to navigate this new financial world and sets you up with concrete recommendations on bitcoin investing, earning and storing bitcoin. Ascending the staircase of financial sovereignty will grant you personal freedom and control over your bitcoin. In this book you will find answers to the questions of what money is, where it comes from, its history, blockchain technology and Bitcoin specifically. It gives answers to the why and how to use Bitcoin while debunking popular myths and misunderstandings surrounding cryptocurrencies. You'll find a deep dive into Bitcoin's development since its inception in 2008 and an outlook on the future of cryptocurrency based on Bitcoin. While mainstream media and economic pundits in the Western world think that it's just a tool for speculation, my goal is to spread the word about Bitcoin as an enabler of financial fairness and social change. What goes unmentioned in most other publications are the positive real world implications that a truly permissionless, uncensorable, neutral digital asset with a fixed supply offers. Later the cryptocurrency book focuses on the more practical applications of Bitcoin (BTC) and how you can safely acquire and store it. You will learn how to gain confidence by starting with small amounts, how to minimize the existing risks and proceed strategically and efficiently in storing your wealth for the long-term. This is neither financial advice, nor a trading guide to the thousands of Altcoins in existence. If you are only interested in short-term gains, treating money like you're gambling in a casino, this book is not for you. It's for people who want to (l)earn and understand the fundamentals of Bitcoin and control their funds in a self-sovereign manner.

Camus' sparse parable about the human condition is one of the great stories of the 20th Century, here adapted for the stage by Booker prize winner Ben Okri. A faceless man who can no longer pretend, Mersault commits a senseless murder under the glare of the Algerian sun. On trial he feels distanced from proceedings, he is castigated for not expressing remorse, for not crying at his mother's funeral, and is forced to confront the hypocrisy and injustice of society. In an age where we are being increasingly told what to feel, The Outsider is a blast of uncompromising honesty. Albert Camus, French novelist, essayist, philosopher and Nobel laureate, was one of the most influential thinkers of the 20th Century. Ben Okri, author of The Famished Road, is one of contemporary literature's most important writers. This adaption brings them together for a rare dramatisation of one of modern literature's most celebrated works.

In a world where women seemingly have more choices than ever, society continues to exert historical stigmas and pressures when it comes to having children. We define women by whether they embrace or reject motherhood; whether they can give birth or not.Drawing on her own experiences as a woman of South Asian heritage, behavioural scientist Pragya Agarwal interrogates the thinking behind this. Extremely open in its honesty and meticulously researched, (M)otherhood probes themes of infertility, childbirth and reproductive justice, and makes a powerful and urgent argument for the need to tackle society's obsession with women's bodies and fertility.

Koloniale Verhältnisse und ihre postkolonialen Folgen prägen seit der Frühen Neuzeit die Welt und finden angesichts von Widerstandsbewegungen wie Black Lives Matter und Denkmalstürzen aktuell vermehrt mediale Aufmerksamkeit. Erhöhte Sensibilität für Gerechtigkeits- und Verteilungsfragen sowie die zunehmend kritische Reflexion von Geschichtsschreibung, literarischen und kartographischen Darstellungsweisen rufen neue Darstellungs- und Präsentationsformen hervor bis hin zum Umkartieren kolonialer Geographien und dem Umschreiben von literarischen Mythen. Die Erkenntnis, dass das Erbe des Kolonialismus bis heute Krieg, Hunger, Armut und Ausbeutung schafft und internationale Flüchtlingsbewegungen auslöst, führt zu einem Infragestellen vorhandener Machtverhältnisse und zum Ruf nach neuen, gerechteren Sicht- und Handlungsweisen. Mit Beiträgen zu einer kolonialen Gegenrede, zur postkolonialen Literatur Siziliens, zu Widerstandsbewegungen indigener Bevölkerung Südamerikas, zu Black Lives Matter und anderen mehr bietet der Sammelband einen interdisziplinären Überblick über koloniale und postkoloniale globale Zusammenhänge.

(Re)Centring the Weimar Republic explores how centrist German politicians and intellectuals sought to foster stability and cooperation during the interwar period.In contrast to the persistent image of a democracy “hollowed out” by divisiveness and political extremism, this book offers a new perspective on the Republic’s efforts to define and hold an ambitious and productive middle ground. Leading scholars and cultural practitioners from the fields of history, German studies, philosophy, literary studies, and music document the progressive activities of the Weimar Republic’s “centre” to answer the question: how can political centrism employ social, cultural, and democratic institutions to resist polarization and extremism? This book’s three sections reveal how key thinkers worked to balance pluralism and national identity, how politicians struggled to hold centrist positions across right-leaning, centrist, and left-leaning parties, and how contemporary culture today interprets those efforts for audiences in the press, the museum, and the concert hall.In today’s age of stumbling democratic institutions and increasing political polarization, (Re)Centring the Weimar Republic offers a historical touchstone for evaluating liberal democracy pushed to its limits and the multipartisan efforts to reinforce its principles.

The exhibition "(RE)VERSVS. Reuse and Redemption in the Patrimony of the Vatican Library and in the Art of Sidival Fila" is the result of a profound reflection by the artist and the curators of the Vatican Library on the theme of reuse - redemption, conceived as two different, and at times opposing, possibilities of using and valorising an ancient, or simply previous or extraneous, material in a new and different way. It presents a recovery of fragments and discards of manuscripts, textiles, marbles and other materials that, in the case of reuse, defines their new purpose, while in the case of redemption celebrates them in themselves, in their ontological value, regardless of their possible new utility. The exhibition concludes in the Sala Barberini with the site-specific installation 'Natura Artificialis', a work that represents the Brazilian artist's integral vision, the starting point of his critical view of the human race and the erroneous idea of nature seen solely as being at the service of man. Ed.: Cristiano Grisogoni. Text: Giacomo Cardinali, Emanuele Coccia, Emanuele Dattilo, Simona De Crescenzo, Delio Vania Proverbio.

This volume launches an interdisciplinary series on transoceanic literary and cultural entanglements, offering readers in-depth insights into the complex interactions between oceans and cultural practices. From a literary and cultural studies standpoint, it reveals how seas function as active spaces of entanglement, migration, memory, environmental crises, and infrastructure. The contributions integrate decolonial, ecological, and epistemological perspectives to understand oceans as multifaceted agents of global history and contemporary realities. Target audiences include researchers and students in literature, cultural, and environmental studies, as well as those interested in transnational and decolonial approaches to globalization and oceanic spaces.

A brilliantly witty and insightful analysis of how kindness culture is used against women. Using the #JustBeKind trend of the 2020s as a starting point, (Un)kind explores how traditional beliefs about women's 'kind' nature have been repackaged for an age that remains dependent - socially, politically, economically - on female self-sacrifice while finding the concept outdated and essentialist. Looking at the various guises under which kindness culture is sold to women and girls - from play to self-help, social justice activism to empowerment - Victoria Smith argues that the pressure on women and girls has not decreased, but instead been incorporated into the 'work' of feminism. (Un)kind analyses the way in which this phenomenon ultimately distorts relationships, harming not just those coerced into performing 'kindness work' but the supposed recipients of their services. Kindness culture supports the backlash against feminism while claiming to represent feminism's - and women's - true nature. It is, at heart, unkind.'Erudite, blisteringly smart and profoundly compassionate... A must-read for anyone hungry to understand the origins and dangers of contemporary exhortations to women to #BeKind, and for everyone who wants to live a feminist life' Dr Rachel HewittPRAISE FOR HAGS'The greatest joy of Hags is its lively erudition . . . eloquent, clever and devastating' The Times 'A book that could not be more necessary' Observer
