The Decadence of Industrial Democracies
polity
Disbelief and Discredit Volume 1
BERNARD STIEGLER Centre Georges Pompidou
✤✤ Stiegler is one of the most original and important philosophers and cultural theorists in France today. ✤✤ His work is at the interface of philosophy and technology, so would appeal not only to those studying philosophy, but media and cultural studies, and literary studies. ✤✤ He argues here that the industrial model implemented since the beginning of the twentieth century, a model based on the separation of production and consumption, has become totally obsolete, leading capitalism and the democracies where it has developed into an impasse.

This book is the first volume of a trilogy and the remaining volumes will be published in the course of the following year.

Internal Colonization
polity
Russia’s Imperial Experience
ALEXANDER ETKIND University of Cambridge, UK
✤✤ This is a radically new account of Russia’s cultural history. ✤✤ Etkind introduces the concept of ‘internal colonization’ in order to analyse the history of Russian Empire, culture and literature. ✤✤ By this he means a kind of colonization that involves colonizing one’s own people as well as others, something Russia achieved by domesticating its own heartlands. ✤✤ Etkind explores serfdom and the peasant commune, as well as the formative role of foreign colonies in Russia, and the revolutionary leaders’ hopes for an alliance with the pacifist sectarians. ✤✤ Written by a leading scholar in the field, this path-breaking book will be essential reading for all students of Russian history and literature and for anyone interested in the literary and cultural aspects of colonization and its aftermath. READERSHIP: Those studying colonialism and post-colonial literatures, as well as specialists in Russian literature and culture.

Culture in a Liquid Modern World
polity
ZYGMUNT BAUMAN Universities of Leeds and Warsaw
✤✤ Zygmunt Bauman is one of the most original and influential social thinkers of our time. ✤✤ In this new book Bauman argues that, in our contemporary liquid-modern world, culture seeks no longer to enlighten the people but to seduce them. ✤✤ The function of culture today is not to satisfy existing needs but to create new ones, while simultaneously ensuring that existing needs remain permanently unfulfilled. ✤✤ Bauman retraces the history of the concept of culture and explores its fate in a world marked by the powerful new forces of globalization, migration and the intermingling of populations. READERSHIP: Suitable for undergraduate students and scholars of sociology and politics, as well as interested general readers

Conversations with John A. Hall
MICHAEL MANN University of California, Los Angeles
✤✤ Michael Mann is one of the top sociologists in the world today, and probably the leading figure in comparative and historical sociology. ✤✤ He’s particularly well known for his projected trilogy on the sources of social power, a sociological history of societies from the beginning to the present, the first two volumes of which appeared in 1986 and 1993 and the third is due to appear in 2011 or 2012. ✤✤ This book is based on a series of conversations between Michael Mann and John Hall. The conversations explore Mann’s highly influential account of power and enable Mann to develop his views on the changing forms of global power in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. ✤✤ This topical and wide-ranging book provides the reader with a very accessible analysis by one of the world’s leading social scientists of the major forces that have shaped our world over the last half-century.

Cognitive Capitalism
polity
YANN MOULIER-BOUTANG ✤✤ This book argues that we are undergoing a transition from industrial capitalism to a new form of capitalism – what the author calls ‘cognitive capitalism’. ✤✤ Cognitive capitalism is a form of capitalism based on the accumulation of ‘immaterial capital’, the dissemination of knowledge and the driving role of the knowledge economy. Knowledge, science and technology become leading productive forces, and cooperation within networks becomes crucial. ✤✤ The author argues that the fact that we now live in a new form of capitalist society, characterized by the central role of knowledge and networks, has far-reaching social and political implications which are spelled out in this book. ✤✤ The arguments of this book resonate with those developed by Hardt and Negri in their bestselling book Empire and this book will appeal to a similar readership. READERSHIP: Students and scholars in sociology, politics, cultural studies and the humanities and social sciences generally.
