Infantilised: How Our Culture Killed Adulthood
by Keith J. HaywardA SHREWD AND TIMELY EXPLORATION OF A CULTURAL LANDSCAPE PREDICATED ON THE PRIMACY OF YOUTHHave you ever noticed that in areas of everyday life, rather than being addressed like a mature adult, you're increasingly treated like an irresponsible child in constant need of instruction and protection?Noticing society's creeping descent into infantilisation is one thing, however understanding the roots and causes of the phenomenon is not quite so easy. But in this topical and vitally important new work, cultural theorist and academic, Dr Keith Hayward, exposes the deep social, psychological and political dangers of a world characterised by denuded adult autonomy.But importantly Infantilised is no one-dimensional, unsympathetic critique. Brimming with anecdotes and examples that span everything from the normalisation of infantilism on reality TV to the rise of a new class of political 'infantocrat', this comprehensive book also offers an insightful and at times humorous account of infantilism's seductive appeal, and details some suggestions for avoiding some of the pitfalls associated with our increasingly infantilised world.

Infectious Liberty: Biopolitics between Romanticism and Liberalism (Lit Z)
by Robert MitchellInfectious Liberty traces the origins of our contemporary concerns about public health, world population, climate change, global trade, and government regulation to a series of Romantic-era debates and their literary consequences. Through a series of careful readings, Robert Mitchell shows how a range of elements of modern literature, from character-systems to free indirect discourse, are closely intertwined with Romantic-era liberalism and biopolitics. Eighteenth- and early-nineteenth century theorists of liberalism such as Adam Smith and Thomas Malthus drew upon the new sciences of population to develop a liberal biopolitics that aimed to coordinate differences among individuals by means of the culling powers of the market. Infectious Liberty focuses on such authors as Mary Shelley and William Wordsworth, who drew upon the sciences of population to develop a biopolitics beyond liberalism. These authors attempted what Roberto Esposito describes as an “affirmative” biopolitics, which rejects the principle of establishing security by distinguishing between valued and unvalued lives, seeks to support even the most abject members of a population, and proposes new ways of living in common.Infectious Liberty expands our understandings of liberalism and biopolitics—and the relationship between them—while also helping us to understand better the ways creative literature facilitates the project of reimagining what the politics of life might consist of.Infectious Liberty is available from the publisher on an open-access basis.
Infektionen und Gesellschaft: COVID-19, frühere und zukünftige Herausforderungen durch Pandemien
by Ansgar W. LohseIn diesem Open Access Tagungsband beantworten renommierte Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler hochaktuelle Fragen zu Pandemien im Allgemeinen und der COVID-19-Pandemie im Besonderen. Vor allem die Auswirkungen auf unsere Gesellschaft stehen im interdisziplinären Fokus. Wie wirken Infektionserreger auf Körper und Psyche? Wie wirken Pandemien auf Städte und Demokratien? Beeinflussen mediale Diskurse und Seuchennarrative die Impfbereitschaft? Kann es eine Güterabwägung zwischen Gesundheitsschutz und Wirtschaftswachstum geben? Verletzen Lockdown und Maskenpflicht die Grundrechte? Auf dem Symposium Infektionen und Gesellschaft der Akademie der Wissenschaften in Hamburg postulierte Professor Ansgar W. Lohse: „Das Coronavirus hat uns nicht gänzlich überrascht: Die Gefahr katastrophaler Pandemien hat immer schon existiert und wächst weiter. Umso wichtiger ist es, dass wir aus der Vergangenheit für die Zukunft lernen.“ Der vorliegende Band bietet nicht nur eine interdisziplinäre Auseinandersetzung mit SARS-CoV-2 und den gesellschaftlichen Folgen, sondern auch einen Ausblick, wie wir in Zukunft mit Pandemien umgehen können – von der Prävention über die Entwicklung von Impfstoffen und Impfstrategien bis zu Therapiemöglichkeiten.
Inferno: An Anatomy of American Punishment
by Robert A. FergusonAn Open Letters Monthly Best Nonfiction Book of the YearAmerica’s criminal justice system is broken. The United States punishes at a higher per capita rate than any other country in the world. In the last twenty years, incarceration rates have risen 500 percent. Sentences are harsh, prisons are overcrowded, life inside is dangerous, and rehabilitation programs are ineffective. Looking not only to court records but to works of philosophy, history, and literature for illumination, Robert Ferguson, a distinguished law professor, diagnoses all parts of a now massive, out-of-control punishment regime.“If I had won the $400 million Powerball lottery last week I swear I would have ordered a copy for every member of Congress, every judge in America, every prosecutor, and every state prison official and lawmaker who controls the life of even one of the millions of inmates who exist today, many in inhumane and deplorable conditions, in our nation’s prisons.”—Andrew Cohen, The Atlantic“Inferno is a passionate, wide-ranging effort to understand and challenge…our heavy reliance on imprisonment. It is an important book, especially for those (like me) who are inclined towards avoidance and tragic complacency…[Ferguson’s] book is too balanced and thoughtful to be disregarded.”—Robert F. Nagel, Weekly Standard
Infertility and Non-Traditional Family Building: From Assisted Reproduction to Adoption in the Media
by Rebecca FeaseyThis book examines the representation of infertility, assisted reproduction, miscarriage, adoption and surrogacy in a wide range of media, including blogs, vlogs, social media posts and factual programming. In so doing, it illustrates how pregnancy loss, involuntary childlessness and non-traditional mothering are being depicted across the media landscape. Whilst the topic of motherhood has emerged as a significant area of academic debate, narratives of unsuccessful or unconventional mothering have remained largely absent, even at a time when there is a growing conversation about infertility online. Timely, pertinent and original, the book demonstrates the importance of a broader and more informed cultural discussion about fertility and family building.

Infidelity: A Practitioner’s Guide to Working with Couples in Crisis (Routledge Series on Family Therapy and Counseling)
by Paul R. PelusoWhen one partner in a relationship is unfaithful to the other, it takes a lot of work by both parties involved to salvage the relationship. In today’s therapy-friendly climate, marriage/couples counseling is often a part of that rebuilding process. Many couples seek out professional therapy after an affair is out in the open, but often the act of infidelity is revealed while uncovering and discussing unrelated issues for which the couple is in counseling. And yet, amazingly, as common as this complex and difficult topic arises in therapy, there is relatively little professional literature devoted to understanding and "treating" infidelity. In this volume, Paul Peluso has assembled a truly impressive list of contributors from a range of disciplines and backgrounds, including marital therapy, family therapy, evolutionary psychology, marriage research, and cyberstudies, with the aim of filling this void.

Influencing Organizational Culture: A Very Brief Introduction
by Stefan KühlIn the management discourse few words are thrown about more carelessly than &‘organizational culture&’. While the term is usually defined too broadly—including such phenomena as assumptions, values, traditions, articles of faith, myths and artifacts—this book applies a far more narrow concept. Organizational culture, or the informal structure of an organization, is a term used to describe the behavioral expectations in an organization that have not been decided on in a formal way but that evolved by means of repetition and imitation. This book shows how this narrow definition makes it possible to more precisely observe and understand an organization&’s culture and its changes. Management&’s only way for influencing organizational culture—and this may sound paradoxical at first—is to change the organization&’s formal structure as for example its incentive schemes, goal-setting processes, strategic directions or hierarchy.
