Violent Ignorance
Author: Hannah Jones
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1786998610
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 265
Book Description
An elected politician is assassinated in the street by a terrorist associated with extreme political groups, and the national response is to encourage picnics. Thousands of people are held in prison-like conditions without judicial oversight or any time-limit on their sentence . An attempt to re-assert national sovereignty and borders leads thousands of citizens to register for dual citizenship with other countries, some overcoming family associations with genocide in their second country of nationality to do so. This is life in the UK today. How then are things still continuing as 'normal'? How can we confront these phenomena and why do we so often refuse to? What are the practices that help us to accommodate the unconscionable? How might we contend with the horrors that meet us each day, rather than becoming desensitized to them? Violent Ignorance sets out to examine these questions through an understanding of how the past persists in the present, how trauma is silenced or reappears, and how we might reimagine identity and connection in ways that counter - rather than ignore - historic violence. In particular Hannah Jones shows how border controls and enforcement, and its corollary, racism and violence, have shifted over time. Drawing on thinkers from John Berger to Ben Okri, from Audre Lorde to Susan Sontag, the book questions what it means to belong, and discusses how hierarchies of belonging are revealed by what we can see, and what we can ignore.

Sci-Fi Ultimate Collection: 170+ Space Adventures, Dystopian Novels & Lost World Classics
Author: Jules Verne
Publisher: Good Press
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 12917
Book Description
The 'Sci-Fi Ultimate Collection: 170+ Space Adventures, Dystopian Novels & Lost World Classics' stands as a testament to the vast and varied universe of science fiction, encapsulating the ingenuity and diversity of thought from the 19th to the early 20th centuries. This anthology spans a range of literary styles from the exploratory whims of Jules Verne to the dark, introspective narratives of H.P. Lovecraft, and the socio-political commentaries of H.G. Wells and George Orwell offering a broad view of the thematic concerns and stylistic evolutions within the genre. Notably, it includes landmark pieces that have defined and expanded the boundaries of speculative fiction, exploring themes of dystopia, utopia, cosmic horror, and science as both salvation and doom, thereby providing a comprehensive overview of the genre's development and its reflection of societal anxieties and aspirations. The contributing authors and editors, each distinguished by their own unique contributions to literature and thought, bring a rich tapestry of background, perspective, and cultural context to the anthology. From the pioneering speculative visions of Mary Shelley, whose 'Frankenstein' laid the groundwork for scientific fiction as a critical mirror to society, to the sophisticated social critiques embedded in the works of Aldous Huxley and Sinclair Lewis, the collection is a convergence of voices that have not only defined but also challenged their contemporary sociopolitical paradigms. By aligning with various historical, cultural, and literary movements, these authors collectively amplify the anthology's exploration of human nature, progress, and the infinitely expanding boundaries of the unknown. 'Readers seeking not just entertainment but also a deep cultural and philosophical engagement with science fiction as a genre will find the 'Sci-Fi Ultimate Collection' an invaluable resource. This anthology affords a unique opportunity to experience the breadth and depth of speculative fiction through the eyes of its most iconic figures. It invites readers to traverse time and space, to challenge their preconceptions, and to engage in a dialogue with the past, understanding how past generations envisioned the future. For anyone interested in the evolution of science fiction and its role in critiquing, reflecting, and shaping societal views, this collection is an indispensable compendium, illuminating the myriad ways in which the genre has captivated the human imagination.
