Utopia or Bust by Benjamin Kunkel Pdf

After the financial crash and the great recession, the media rediscovered Karl Marx, socialist theory, and the very idea that capitalism can be questioned. But in spite of the publicity, the main paths of contemporary critical thought have gone unexplored outside of the academy. Benjamin Kunkel’s Utopia or Bust leads readers – whether politically committed or simply curious – through the most important critical theory today. Written with the wit and verve of Kunkel’s best-selling novel, Indecision, this introduction to contemporary Leftist thinkers engages with the revolutionary philosophy of Slavoj Žižek, the economic analyses of David Graeber and David Harvey, and the cultural diagnoses of Fredric Jameson. Discussing the ongoing crisis of capitalism in light of ideas of full employment, debt forgiveness, and “fictitious capital,” Utopia or Bust is a tour through the world of Marxist thought and an examination of the basis of Western society today.

The Feminist Utopia Project by Alexandra Brodsky,Rachel Kauder Nalebuff Pdf

This “incredible addition to the feminist canon” brings together the most inspiring, creative, and courageous voices concerning modern women’s issues (Jessica Valenti, editor of Yes Means Yes). In this groundbreaking collection, more than fifty cutting-edge feminist writers—including Melissa Harris-Perry, Janet Mock, Sheila Heti, and Mia McKenzie—invite us to imagine a world of freedom and equality in which: An abortion provider reinvents birth control . . . The economy values domestic work . . . A teenage rock band dreams up a new way to make music . . . The Constitution is re-written with women’s rights at the fore . . . The standard for good sex is raised with a woman’s pleasure in mind . . . The Feminist Utopia Project challenges the status quo that accepts inequality and violence as a given, “offering playful, earnest, challenging, and hopeful versions of our collective future in the form of creative nonfiction, fiction, visual art, poetry, and more” (Library Journal).

Utopia Or Bust by Yanyara Pdf

Kristina from Munich preaches and practices relationships without ownership to replace boredom in bedrooms with ecstasy of sharing. Ria from London designs a borderless world that promotes rainbow-loving to dissolve racial distinctions. Cathy from Toronto and Richard from New York craft a surreptitious mechanism to painlessly extract billions out of billionaires with consumer-dictated prices, and twenty-hour work weeks that leave more time for play. Trudy from Stockholm lays out leaderless rule truly by the people. Michiko from Kyoto achieves end of pointless conflicts to pay for the freedom dance. Going past marvelous images portrayed in Thomas More's Utopia - the Sixteenpack, a group of nine women and seven men, network their energies to demonstrate how easy it is to sell a honey-dipped plan to get there from where we are. In this book, working women, frustrated housewives, underpaid workers, and over-stressed CEOs will discover refreshing new answers to all their annoying little problems.

Utopia by Thomas More Pdf

Five-hundred-year anniversary edition of More’s Utopia, with writing from major science fiction writers Five hundred years since its first publication, Thomas More’s Utopia remains astonishingly radical and provocative. More imagines an island nation where thousands live in peace and harmony, men and women are both educated, and property is communal. In a text hovering between fantasy, satire, blueprint and game, More explores the theories and realities behind war, political conflicts, social tensions and redistribution, and imagines the day-to-day lives of a citizenry living free from fear, oppression, violence and suffering. But there has always been a shadow at the heart of Utopia. If this is a depiction of the perfect state, why, as well as wonder, does it provoke a growing unease? In this quincentenary edition, published in conjunction with Somerset House, More’s text is introduced by multi-award-winning author China Miéville and accompanied by four essays from Ursula K. Le Guin, today’s most distinguished utopian writer and thinker..
