You're so Basic
Author: Angela Casella
Publisher: A.R. Casella
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 368
Book Description
It’s harder to run from love when you’re living with it. Danny I don’t want a new roommate. I especially don’t want a new roommate who’s loud, mouthy, and so painfully hot I can’t keep my eyes off her. Not that I’m interested in Mira Evans. She’s made it very clear that she agrees with the ex who famously broke up with me for being “too basic.” But Mira breaks her ankle a few hours after moving in, and a couple of days later we're stuck in an elevator...in the dark. Secrets are revealed; lines are crossed. Now, this woman I wanted to avoid knows more about me than some of my best friends. Mira I'm a workaholic who can't work, and staying cooped up inside is driving me crazy. Not to mention my no-good ex-boyfriend took Halloween a little too literally this year and got a psychic to hex me. I might not believe in magic, but I can't deny I feel like I've been hexed. I have a broken ankle, and I'm falling for my roommate, a man who seems as adventurous as a pumpkin spice latte served up in a hand-knit sweater. But getting stuck in that elevator with Danny proved to me there's much more to him than there appears to be...and I'm not the only one who's noticed. Maybe cabin fever has amped up my paranoia, but I get the feeling we're being watched. **An interconnected standalone in the Finding You series.**

What would you do... ...if your best friend were plotting the annihilation of a small, furry neighborhood poodle?

How about if your grandmother bought you new bras and underwear -- and you actually thought they were a teensy bit, umm, sexy? Most people would not react well.

Disavowal
Author: Alenka Zupančič
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1509561218
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 72
Book Description
This book argues that the psychoanalytic concept of disavowal best renders the structure underlying our contemporary social response to traumatic and disturbing events, from climate change to unsettling tectonic shifts in our social tissue. Unlike denialism and negation, disavowal functions by fully acknowledging what we disavow. Zupančič contends that disavowal, which sustains some belief by means of ardently proclaiming the knowledge of the opposite, is becoming a predominant feature of our social and political life. She also shows how the libidinal economy of disavowal is a key element of capitalist economy. The concept of fetishistic disavowal already exposes the objectified side of the mechanism of the disavowal, which follows the general formula: I know well, but all the same, the object-fetish allows me to disregard this knowledge. Zupančič adds another twist by showing how, in the prevailing structure of disavowal today, the mere act of declaring that we know becomes itself an object-fetish by which we intercept the reality of that very knowledge. This perverse deployment of knowledge deprives it of any reality. This structure of disavowal can be found not only in the more extreme and dramatic cases of conspiracy theories and re-emerging magical thinking, but even more so in the supposedly sober continuation of business as usual, combined with the call to adapt to the new reality. To disrupt this social embedding of disavowal, it is not enough to change the way we think: things need to change, and hence the way they think for us.
