Surplus-Enjoyment
A compelling guide to Lacan's idea of 'surplus enjoyment' through philosophy, pop culture, history and more.
Contemporary life is defined by excess. We need a surplus to what we need to be able to truly enjoy what we have. Žižek’s guide to surplus (and why it’s enjoyable) argues that what is surplus to our needs is by its very nature unsubstantial and unnecessary. But, perversely, without this surplus, we wouldn’t be able to enjoy what is substantial and necessary. Engaging with everything from The Joker to pop songs, Aquinas and the history of pandemics, Žižek claims that recognising our society of enjoyment for what it is can provide an explanation for the political impasses of today.
When smartphones risk damaging traditional ways of creating meaning in our lives, philosophy shows us how it is still possible to establish meaningful connections with each other and ourselves. By analysing social interactions and evolving experiences, Roholt reveals the mechanisms of smartphone-distraction that impact our meaningful projects and activities. His conception of meaning in life draws from a disparate group of philosophers—Susan Wolf, John Dewey, Hubert Dreyfus, Martin Heidegger, and Albert Borgmann. Roholt makes us rethink the place we allow smartphones to occupy in the everyday, but remains cautiously optimistic. This thoughtful, needed interrogation of smartphones shows how we can establish a positive role for technologies within our lives.

A radical treatise on how to live with hope and meaning on a dying planet, written by the spokesperson for the global Extinction Rebellion movement.
Climate breakdown and the destruction of the living earth is the issue by which our children will judge us. Read's unflinchingly honest account is vital reading for those who want their philosophy to deal with reality and their climate concern to be more than a displacement activity. It includes practical ideas and thoughts on how to be an activist in the midst of climate emergency. Read argues that an acceptance of the actual horror of the crisis, and making space for and listening to climate grief and anxiety, gives us the opportunity to create a grounded response that is radically hopeful without offering shallow optimism. The needful path is through the trouble.

This book introduces the exciting field of plant philosophy and takes it in a new direction, asking what does it mean to say that plants are sexed? Do ‘male’ and ‘female’ really mean the same when applied to humans, trees and algae? Sandford addresses these questions through a detailed analysis of major moments in the history of plant sex, from Aristotle to today. Tracing the transformations in the analogy between animals and plants that characterise this history, she shows how the analogy still functions in contemporary botany and asks: what would a nonzoocentric, plant-centred philosophy of vegetal sex look like?

A Feminist Philosophy of Miscarriage
Building upon her previous work on everyday aesthetics, Yuriko Saito argues that aesthetic and ethical concerns are intimately connected in our everyday life. She demonstrates how aesthetic experience embodies a care relationship with the world and how the ethical relationship with others, whether humans, non-human creatures, environments, or artefacts, is guided by aesthetic sensibility and manifested through aesthetic means. Weaving together insights gained from philosophy, art, design, and medicine, as well as artistic and cultural practices of Japan, she illuminates the aesthetic dimensions of various forms of care in our management of everyday life.

Pregnancy is so thoroughly entangled with birth and babies in the popular imagination that a pregnancy which ends in miscarriage consistently appears as a failure or waste of time. Miscarriage impacts a huge number of people across the world but has all too often been treated as a taboo topic. This book argues that feminist reflection on miscarriage can radically transform the way we think about pregnancy overall. It articulates an alternative philosophy of pregnancy which embraces variation, ambiguity, contingency and suspension, and a feminist politics of full-spectrum solidarity, social justice and care (rather than individualised choice and responsibility) which breaks down presumed oppositions between pregnancy, miscarriage, abortion, stillbirth and live birth, and liberates pregnancy from reproductive futurism.
An introductory book on everyday aesthetics that uses familiar examples to show how aesthetics can enrich our engagement with the world, body and mind.

Richard G. T. Gipps is a Chartered Clinical Psychologist and Associate of the Faculty of Philosophy at the University of Oxford, UK. He is co-editor of The Oxford Handbook of Philosophy and Psychiatry (2013) and The Oxford Handbook of Philosophy and Psychoanalysis (2019).
Here is the story of three overlooked revolutionary thinkers, Olympe de Gouges, Manon Roland and Sophie de Grouchy. All three began to think and write political philosophy before the French Revolution, concerned with social justice and equality. When women could neither vote nor talk at the assembly, they became influential through their writings. Charting the extent of their influence for the first time, we finally see how these three pivotal figures were written out of intellectual history and what we stand to gain by thinking about their lives and works, changing the conversation about women’s contribution to social and political movements and moments. The book features illustrations, maps, a timeline of the French Revolution and a glossary of principal actors and places.

Understanding the Psychotic Mind
A philosophical investigation into what it means to lose contact with reality.
Can we reach the psychotic subject in their delusion? In this groundbreaking work, Gipps demonstrates how such efforts at rational retrieval actually result in us setting our face against the psychotic subject in their distress. Bringing together patient memoir, psychopathological observation and philosophical thought, Gipps not only solves the psychopathological problem of delusion, but also shows us how to bear a truer witness to the psychotic subject in their brokenness, pain and despair.

A fast-paced tour through the history of the skateboard, told by some of the world’s best and most fascinating skaters.
Jonathan Russell Clark is a writer and critic living in the United States.
How did the skateboard go from a fad like the hula-hoop to an Olympic sport? Writer and skateboarder Russell Clark answers this question by going straight to the sources: the skaters and company owners and manufacturers who made such an unlikely rise to worldwide juggernaut possible. From California beaches to Tokyo 2020, the skateboard has outlasted its critics to form a global community of innovation, persistence, and camaraderie.
Leigh Hester leads readers through the system humans have created to deal with our own waste, and argues that sewers can be seen as a mirror to the world above at a time when our behaviors are drastically reshaping the environment for the worse. What can underground pipes tell us about human eating habits and the spread or containment of disease, such as COVID-19? Why are sewers spitting out plastic and trash into waterways around the world? How are clogs getting gnarlier and more numerous? The author provides a fresh way to approach questions about urbanisation, public health, infrastructure, ecology, sustainability, and consumerism— and what we value. Without understanding sewers, any attempt to steward the future is incomplete.

Maria Teresa Hart is a writer and editor based in Brooklyn, US.
Among the many things expectant parents are told to buy, none is a more visible symbol of status and parenting philosophy than a stroller. Although its association with wealth dates back to the invention of the first pram in the 1700s, in recent decades, four-figure strollers have become not just status symbols but cultural identifiers. From sleek jogging strollers for serious athletes and impossibly compact travel strollers for international travel to anti-stroller evangelists, all of these attitudes reveal our differing beliefs of how parents and children ought to move through the world.

Dolls commonly serve as a tool to teach mothering to young girls, but more often they are avatars of the idealised feminine self. They instruct girls what to strive for in society, reinforcing dominant patriarchal, heteronormative, white views around class, bodies, history, and celebrity, in insidious ways. By analysing dolls from 17th-century Japanese Hinamatsuri festivals, to the ‘80s American Girl Dolls, and even to today’s bitmoji, Doll reveals how the objects society encourages us to play with as girls shape the women we become.

Investigating Google’s Search Engine
Todd McGowan is Professor of English at the University of Vermont, USA.
What do search engines do? And what should they do? These questions seem relatively simple but are actually urgent social and ethical issues. The influence of Google’s search engine is enormous. It does not only shape how internet users find pages on the World Wide Web, but how we think as individuals, how we collectively remember the past, and how we communicate with one another. This book explores the impact of search engines within contemporary digital culture, focusing on the social, cultural, and philosophical influence of Google, demonstrating the way in which algorithms can perpetuate racist and sexist biases and, in some instances, can even create them.
This is an exploration of the psychic basis for the racism that appears so conspicuously throughout modern history. Racism persists because it ties into an unconscious fantasy structure for those invested in it. The fundamental racist fantasy positions the racial other as a figure who blocks the enjoyment of the racist. This fantasy takes root under capitalism as a way of explaining the failures and disappointments that result from the relationship to the commodity. To struggle against racism, one must work to dislodge the fantasy structure and the capitalist relations that require it. This is the project of the book.

Finding the Language of Grace: Rediscovering Transcendence considers the force of grace in our lives, souls and minds. The power and the pain of grace resonates throughout the book, offering a new perspective on healing loneliness and mistrust, as well as on the turbulence and political extremes of today’s world. This is illustrated through books as diverse as the medieval legend of the Holy Grail, Silence by Japanese writer Shusaku Endo, and the novels of Pulitzer Prize winner Marilynne Robinson.
Providing an accessible discussion about religion in the 21st century, Guest asks what distinguishes neoliberal religion and explores the sociological and ethical questions that arise from considering its wider significance.

RELIGION
Provides a historical and philosophical account of the “white devil” as it appears in stories and myths in various Black religions, particularly as these traditions are expressed through the contemporary cultural expression of hip-hop. Interweaving academic theory, (auto)ethnography, and memoir-styled narrative, Driscoll explores what the “white devil” trope means for understanding and responding to tensions emerging from toxic white masculinity. Depicting paths forward for genuine reparations and systemic justice, this is an essential read for people who want to build communities to counter white racism and nurture expansive, generative interdependence.

This study of Alfonso Cuarón's sensual 2001 road movie argues that it not only addresses major issues of gender, race, class, and space, but that the film’s apparently casual aesthetic masks a sophisticated audiovisual style. Smith makes an argument for Cuarón’s film as an enduring masterpiece that hides in plain sight as an ephemeral teen movie.
This is the exploration of an album with remarkable significance to a violent wave of postcolonial tensions in the Netherlands in the 1970s. Several 'actions' were claimed by a small number of first-generation descendants of more than 12,000 reluctant migrants from Indonesia (former Dutch East Indies). Transferred in 1951, their sojourn should have been temporary, but frustratingly turned out to be permanent. At the height of strained relations, Massada rose to the occasion. Astaganaga is a telling example of the will to negotiate a different diasporic Moluccan identity through uplifting contemporary sounds.

One of the most influential albums of the aughts, Blackout not only brought glitchy digital noise and dubstep into the Top 40, but also transformed Britney into a new kind of pop star, one who shrugged off mainstream ubiquity for the devotion of smaller groups of fans who worshipped her idiosyncratic sound. This book returns to the grimy clubs and paparazzi hangouts of LA in the 2000s, as well as the blogs and forums of the early internet to show how the album was a crucial hinge between 20th and 21st-century pop.

Discusses Blackout as a transitional album and a crucial hinge between 20th and 21stcentury pop.
A series of short books about popular music, focusing on individual albums.
That's the Way of the World presented hopeful messages about the world to the people of the world. The album instilled self-pride and confidence through innovative musical approaches. It did not tell listeners exactly how to live or love, but instead how they could live in a quest for self-actualisation. The songs encouraged us to listen, see, learn, yearn, love, and have fun. If art can help mold a better future, then EWF’s musical legacy of empowerment will continue to contribute to individual growth and social change as their melodies linger.
Come to My Garden introduced the world to Minnie Riperton, the solo artist. Minnie captivated listeners with her earth-shattering voice’s uncanny ability to evoke melancholy and exultance. Despite fairly positive reviews of the album, even in its many re-releases, it never garnered critical attention. Proctor uses rare archival ephemera, the multiple reissues of the album, interviews, cultural history, and personal narrative to outline how the revolutionary album came to be and its lasting impact on popular music of the post-soul era.

The first book on the genre in 20 years, right at a time when trip-hop is making a revival in both underground scenes and popular artists.
MUSIC & SOUND STUDIES - GENRE: A 33 1/3 SERIES
Courting controversy from inception to its modern day iteration, death metal presents a number of contradictions: driven and adventurous musicians compete to make uncomfortable noises; it is crude and far beyond parody and yet consistently popular; and the music is pigheadedly uncommercial despite making a few labels, albeit briefly, reasonably wealthy. This book explores the history and methodology of the genre, charting its aims and intentions, its crossovers to the mainstream, successes and failures, and tracks how it developed from the bedrooms of Birmingham and Florida to the near-mainstream and the murky cult status it enjoys today.

Trip-Hop
This short book seeks to dislocate "trip-hop" and instead understand this music within wider and more interesting aesthetic traditions—traditions in which qualities of beauty, intimacy, and nostalgia sit alongside complexity, virtuosity, and furious experimentation. It places this strange, spacious, avant-garde sound alongside music of exile, loss, and the Black diaspora. Like the music, this book offers solace and challenge. It asks questions about who gets to define genres, and what—and who—do such genres exclude. And it asks, as a listener, how do you un-train your ears and escape complicity from the commercial imperatives of labels and algorithms?
Guides readers through an overview of death metal, broken down to explore its foundations, tropes and myriad microgenres, presented for an outsider with a morbid curiosity but little experience.

This is a history of perhaps the most controversial musical instrument: the drum machine. LeRoy reveals the untold story of how their digital pulse became the new heartbeat of popular music. He traces the drum machine from its low-tech beginnings in the ‘50s and ‘60s to its evolution in the ‘70s and its ubiquity in the ‘80s, when it infiltrated every genre of music. Drum machines changed composition, recording, and performance habits, and anticipated virtually every musical trend of the last 40 or so years: sequencing, looping, sampling, and all forms of digital music creation.

Morgan takes a fresh look at FDR, showing how his leadership enabled the US to become the most successful country of the 20th century. This astute and original assessment of a highly consequential presidency explains how Roosevelt enhanced the governing capacity of his office, promoted a constitutional revolution through his dealings with the Supreme Court, and forged a new intimacy between the president and the American people. In fluid, immensely readable prose, Morgan focuses on the ways in which FDR transformed the presidency into an institution of domestic and international leadership.

This is the first book to tackle the huge transformations that have been unravelling in Lebanon since the revolution erupted in October 2019. The book brings to the fore the voices of scholars, activists, researchers, and journalists who took part in the protests or were active in the demonstrations that unfolded before them. The book historicises the uprisings and places them in the context of their regional and global dimensions. Including photos, pamphlets, posters, and other materials disseminated in the streets and social media collected here for the first time, this is the essential text on the subject.

Sometimes characterised as the ‘forgotten occupation’, the western Golan Heights have been transformed by Israeli colonisation, via the appropriation of land and water resources, economic development and extensive military use. This landmark volume is the first academic study in English of Arab politics and culture in the occupied Golan Heights. It focuses on an indigenous community, known as the Jawlanis, and their resistance to settler colonisation. The book brings together Jawlani, Palestinian and UK researchers and adopts an innovative format, with shorter ‘reflections’ responding to traditional academic chapters.

Gastrofashion from Haute Cuisine to Haute Couture examines the relationship between food and fashion in clothing, style, and dress in all its manifestations, from the restaurant to the catwalk, to cookbooks, diet fads, slow food, fast fashion, celebrity chefs, artists, and musical performers. It traces the relationship between food and fashion back to the Middle Ages, to the rise of social refinements in manners, speech, clothing, and taste, when behaviours and appearances reflected social status and propriety and where the social display of wealth and privilege were inseparable from food and clothing.
This much-needed book offers a substantive and incisive discussion for all those interested in the complex interrelationship between food and fashion – scholars, students, and general readers alike.

Basic semiotic theories are taught in most art schools as part of a contextual studies program, but many students find it difficult to understand how these ideas might impact on their own practice. Visible Signs tackles this problem by introducing key theories and concepts, such as signs and signifiers, and language and speech, within the framework of visual communication.
This fourth edition includes new interviews with industry professionals and updated exercises, as well as a necessary new chapter on fake news, propaganda, diversity in ‘neutral’ communication (like emojis), and issues related to social media representation.

Information may be beautiful, but our decisions about the data we choose to represent and how we represent it are never neutral. Hall and Dávila's insightful history traces how data visualisation accompanied modern technologies of war, colonialism and the management of social issues of poverty, health and crime. Their analysis places visualisation in its theoretical and cultural contexts, providing a critical framework for understanding the history of information design with new directions for contemporary practice.

Contemporary digital designers work across programmes, platforms and disciplines, but there’s not always enough time to become an expert in everything before having to get stuck in to your next project. This handson approach to digital media design takes designers through the building blocks, common skills and hacks across all forms of digital design so you understand the fundamentals and can start creating straight away.
Design and social thought are too frequently considered distinct in terms of how theories can be applied in practice. Design and the Social Imagination brings together the creative, action-oriented sensibility of design with the reflective, analytical capacities of the social sciences to offer models, ideas and strategies for shaping the future of the world we live in.
