Against Ageism: A Queer Manifesto starts with what it is not: a socio-economic argument against ageism, celebrating the ‘elderly’ as economically viable. Instead, Simon(e) van Saarloos presents a radical critique of conventional arguments against ageism, rejecting constructs of ‘age’ and ‘youth’ and assumptions of their inherent qualities. Drawing from personal experience, the manifesto offers a reckoning with how ageism overlaps with structures of white supremacy and patriarchy. Through the lens of crip and queer theory, as well as anti-carceral and anti-colonial perspectives on time, this piercing text provocatively calls for the abolition of age-related laws, reframing commonly held understandings about age from van Saarloos’s defiant perspective.

From the author of the international bestseller Debt: The First 5,000 Years comes a revelatory account of the way bureaucracy rules our lives   Where does the desire for endless rules, regulations, and bureaucracy come from? How did we come to spend so much of our time filling out forms? And is it really a cipher for state violence?   To answer these questions, the anthropologist David Graeber-one of our most important and provocative thinkers-traces the peculiar and unexpected ways we relate to bureaucracy today, and reveals how it shapes our lives in ways we may not even notice...though he also suggests that there may be something perversely appealing-even romantic-about bureaucracy.   Leaping from the ascendance of right-wing economics to the hidden meanings behind Sherlock Holmes and Batman, The Utopia of Rules is at once a powerful work of social theory in the tradition of Foucault and Marx, and an entertaining reckoning with popular culture that calls to mind Slavoj Zizek at his most accessible.   An essential book for our times, The Utopia of Rules is sure to start a million conversations about the institutions that rule over us-and the better, freer world we should, perhaps, begin to imagine for ourselves.

Er wordt vaak iets te gemakkelijk en vanzelfsprekend over 'de' solidariteit en 'de' cohesie in de samenleving gesproken, alsof het om eenvoudige en eendimensionele begrippen gaat waarvan je de toe- of afname met een eenduidige maatstaf kunt meten. Er is echter niet één overkoepelende solidariteit, maar er bestaan vele vormen van solidariteit; formele, statelijke solidariteit tot uitdrukking komend in het sociale zekerheidsstelsel of het migratiebeleid; van mening zijn dat er niet op de sociale zekerheid mag worden beknibbeld of dat mensen met riskante leefgewoontes niettemin gelijk behandeld moeten worden in de gezondheidszorg; daadwerkelijk informele hulp en zorg bieden aan mensen uit oudere generaties; geld geven aan goede doelen; vrijwilligerswerk; informele onderlinge steun binnen arme huishoudens of in kringen van illegale vreemdelingen. Het zijn allemaal verschillende uitingsvormen van solidariteit. Een andere vanzelfsprekendheid in het denken over solidariteit is dat overwegend de positieve zijde van het verschijnsel wordt belicht: solidariteit wordt gezien als iets goeds, iets dat volgens sommigen bedreigd wordt en onder druk staat, en dat dus gekoesterd en eventueel nieuw leven ingeblazen moet worden. Uit de klassieke sociologie blijkt echter al dat solidariteit een 'tweesnijdend zwaard' is: waar bepaalde mensen binnen solidariteitskringen worden opgenomen, worden anderen daarvan tegelijkertijd uitgesloten. Bovendien kunnen solidariteit en cohesie verstikkende vormen aannemen: niemand mag afwijken van de groepsnormen, niemand mag boven het maaiveld uitsteken. In Het cement van de samenleving worden beide vanzelfsprekendheden ter discussie gesteld. (Bron: covertekst)

"Welcome to the Gender Data Gap. Our world is largely built for and by men, in a system that can ignore half the population. This book will tell you how and why this matters In her new book, Invisible Women, award-winning campaigner and writer Caroline Criado Perez shows us how, in a world largely built for and by men, we are systematically ignoring half the population. She exposes the gender data gap - a gap in our knowledge that is at the root of perpetual, systemic discrimination against women, and that has created a pervasive but invisible bias with a profound effect on women's lives. Caroline brings together for the first time an impressive range of case studies, stories and new research from across the world that illustrate the hidden ways in which women are excluded from the very building blocks of the world we live in, and the impact this has on their health and wellbeing. From government policy and medical research, to technology, workplaces, urban planning and the media - Invisible Women exposes the biased data that excludes women. In making the case for change, this powerful and provocative book will make you see the world anew."--
