Frauen haben in unserer Gesellschaft allen Grund, wütend zu sein – Sexismus, Diskriminierung, Misogynie –, aber zornige Frauen gelten als hysterisch, und so schweigen sie. Bis jetzt. Die US-amerikanische Aktivistin Soraya Chemaly zeigt in ihrem aufrüttelnden Buch, welche befreiende Kraft in weiblicher Wut steckt. Gleichbehandlung ist bis heute inexistent: Mädchen sollen artig sein, Jungen durchsetzungsfähig. Frauen werden im Berufsalltag doppelt so oft unterbrochen wie ihre Kollegen. Bei gleichen Symptomen bekommen Männer Schmerzmittel – und Frauen Beruhigungsmittel. Anhand von Fakten und persönlichen Erlebnissen veranschaulicht Chemaly, wie die Erfahrung von Sexismus sich in Psyche und Körper von Frauen einschreibt und zu einer tiefsitzenden Wut wird. In Speak out! plädiert Chemaly für eine radikale Neubewertung weiblicher Wut: Richtig eingesetzt, kann sie zu einer mächtigen Waffe gegen persönliche und politische Unterdrückung werden und uns helfen, die Welt zu verändern.

Since constitutional arrangements are what make politics work, they are a central concern of political theory. This book, now completely updated, was the first comprehensive exploration of the political theory of constitutions. Jan-Erik Lane begins by examining the origins and history of constitutionalism and answers key questions such as: what is a constitution? Why are there constitutions? From where does constitutionalism originate? How is the constitutional state related to democracy and justice? Constitutions play a major role in domestic and international politics in the early 21st century and an updated version of this classic textbook will introduce students to a number of different areas - theoretical, empirical and moral - which will aid their understanding of this important topic. ;
'Reading Walter Benjamin' explores the persistence of absolute in Benjamin's work by sketching-out the relationship between philosphy and theology apparent in his diverse writings, from the early youth-movement essays to the later books, essays and fragments. The book examines Benjamin from two main perspectives: a history-of-ideas approach situating Benjamin in relation to the new German-Jewish thinking at the turn of the twentieth-century, as well as the German youth movements, Surrealism and the 'Georgekreis'; and a conceptual approach examining more critical issues in relation to Benjamin and Kant, modern aesthetics and narrative order. Chapters cover: 'Kulturpessimismus' and the new thinking; metaphysics of youth: Wyneken and 'Rausch'; history: surreal Messianism; Goethe and the 'Georgekreis'; Kant's experience; casting the work of art; disrupting textual order; and exile and the time of crisis. The book uses new translations of Benjamin's essays, fragments and his 'Arcades Project', and makes substantial reference to previously untranslated material. Lane's text allows the non-specialist entry into complex areas of critical theory, simultaneously offering original readings of Benjamin and twentieth-century arts and literature. ;
In 2019, Solomon Islands made international headlines when the country severed its decades-old alliance with Taiwan in exchange for a partnership with Beijing. The decision prompted international condemnation and terrified Australian security experts, who feared Australia's historical Pacific advantage would come unstuck. This development is often framed as another example of China's inevitable capture of the region - but this misrepresents how and why the decision was made, and how Solomon Islanders have skilfully leveraged global angst over China to achieve extraordinary gains. Despite Solomon Islands' importance to Australia, local readers know little about the country, a fragile island-nation stretching over a thousand islands and speaking seventy indigenous languages. In Divided Isles, Edward Cavanough explains how the switch played out on the ground and its extraordinary potential consequences. He speaks with the dissidents and politicians who shape Solomon Islands' politics, and to the ordinary people whose lives have been upended by a decision that has changed the country - and the region - forever.
