Humanities & Social SciencesJuly 2021Critical theory and feeling
The affective politics of the early Frankfurt School
by Simon Mussell
This book offers a unique and timely reading of the early Frankfurt School in response to the recent 'affective turn' within the arts and humanities. Resisting the overly rationalist tendencies of political philosophy, it argues that critical theory actively cultivates a powerful connection between thinking and feeling, and rediscovers a range of often neglected concepts that were of vital importance to the first generation of critical theorists, including melancholia, hope, (un)happiness, objects and mimesis. In doing so, it brings the dynamic work of Walter Benjamin, Theodor Adorno, Ernst Bloch and Siegfried Kracauer into conversation with more recent debates around politics and affect. An important intervention in the fields of affect studies and social and political thought, Critical theory and feeling shows that sensuous experience is at the heart of the Frankfurt School's affective politics.

Lifestyle, Sport & LeisureSeptember 2023Pre and Probiotics for Poultry Gut Health
by Helen Masey O'Neill, Emily Burton, Dawn Scholey
Poultry are the most widely used animal protein source in the world: billions of meat birds are produced globally each year, using 360 million tonnes of feed. Within Europe, over 30,000 companies involved in the production of poultry create an annual turnover of €107 billion. However, maintaining the sustainability of the industry as it moves towards antibiotic-free production is one of the key challenges. Starting with an overview of antibiotics as growth promoters and the challenges faced as the industry moves away from their use, this book then thoroughly considers the potential of pre and probiotic additives in poultry gut health. The book: - Includes thorough definitions of additives in the pre and probiotic space and examples of how they work; - Addresses how to test pre and probiotics and other similar additives, and how they interact with other products, with learning from both poultry and allied sectors; - Combines authors from both academic and industry backgrounds on all chapters, to ensure coverage is balanced, robust and commercially relevant. Based on the renowned World Poultry Science Association UK Branch Poultry Science Symposium 2022, this book provides a thorough and valuable contribution to the field for all involved with the nutrition and production of poultry.

Conscious Feelings
Living Life Closer to Your Own Truth
by Clinton Callahan
This book is about feelings, and the ways that we, as individuals and as a culture, have numbed ourselves against them. It is about unleashing the possibility of conscious feelings to re-make our lives into what really matters to us. The central framework of the book is built with the Ten Distinctions for Consciously Feeling, including: *Learning the potent difference between thoughts and feelings, which most people confuse *Sorting out feelings (based in the present) from emotions (based in the past or in somebody else’s life) *Fully allowing that feelings are absolutely-neutral energy and information, neither good nor bad, neither positive nor negative. Each chapter is enriched with Thoughtmaps—clear diagrams of ways we presently think and ways we could possibly think—and supported by an abundance of practical experiments to try. The Power of Conscious Feelings is so much more than a book of selfhelp or inspiration. Ultimately, it is about our connection with and responsibility for the fate of the Earth.

September 2020Sei gut zu dir
Ermunterungen
by Clara Paul
Zeiten gibt's, da scheint sich die ganze Welt gegen einen verschworen zu haben. Nichts will gelingen, und niemand scheint es zu kümmern. Gegen die düsteren Tage helfen manchmal nur Gedichte – Gedichte, die einen ermuntern, nicht den Kopf hängen zu lassen, die sofort die Laune heben und einem neuen Lebensmut schenken; Gedichte, die einen ermutigen, der zu sein, der man sein will, Gedichte, die einen stärken und trösten, wenn einem das Herz gerade schwer ist, und die einen inspirieren, neue Wege zu gehen, Gedichte also, die einem sagen: Sei gut zu dir. Mit Gedichten von Maya Angelou, Rose Ausländer, Elisabeth Borchers, Raymond Carver, Hilde Domin, Hans Magnus Enzensberger, Max Frisch, Robert Gernhardt, Hermann Hesse, Mascha Kaléko, Erich Kästner, Angela Krauß, Rainer Malkowski, Rainer Maria Rilke, Joachim Ringelnatz, Wisława Szymborska u.v.a.

Photography & photographs2019I feel guilty when I throw away food. Grandma used to tell me about Holodomor (Famine of 1933)
by Andrii Dostliev, Lia Dostlieva, introduction by Serhiy Zhadan
Post-photographic research, which explores traces of a traumatic historical event in everyday practices and in contemporary landscape and tests the limits of photography as a medium in trauma representation. The starting point of this project was the personal sense of guilt which accompanies the acts of throwing food away. This feeling is common in contemporary Ukrainian culture and originates in our postmemory - it was imprinted into our generation’s behavioral patterns by the stories of our grandparents - survivors of the man-made famine of 1932-33 in Soviet Ukraine called the Holodomor, which killed millions. The ink prints document the thrown-away food while fragments of found black-and-white photographs of unrecognisable landscapes demonstrate the lack of the famine’s traces in the landscape – unlike many collective traumas which have exact geographic locations and present in the landscape in the form of ‘places of memory’.
