Free Download Media Industries in Crisis: What COVID Unmasked
English | 2024 | ISBN: 1032481900 | 283 Pages | PDF (True) | 9 MB
With accounts from the frontlines, Media Industries in Crisis provides readers with a stakeholder framework, management lessons, and urgent commentaries to unpack the nature of crisis management and communications. The authors show how these industries have not only survived, but often thrive amidst a backdrop of critical national and regional emergencies, wars, financial meltdowns, and climate disasters. This international collection―featuring case studies from 16 countries―examines how media industries managed all of these crises, successfully rebranding themselves as "essential" while making power plays in politics, economics, and culture. The chapters reveal key lessons for the meltdowns, tectonic shifts, and struggles ahead.

Free Download David S. Caudill, "Expertise in Crisis: The Ideological Contours of Public Scientific Controversies"
English | ISBN: 1529230918 | 2023 | 126 pages | PDF | 7 MB
When the utility of masks or vaccinations became politicized during the COVID-19 pandemic and lost its mooring in scientific evidence, an already-developing crisis of expertise was exacerbated. Those who believe in consensus science wondered: "How can 'those people' not see the truth?" With a foreword by Harry Collins, this book shows that the crisis is not a "scientific" controversy, but an ideological dispute with "believers" on both sides. If the advocates for consensus science acknowledge the uncertainties involved, rather than insisting on cold, hard facts, it is possible to open a pathway towards interaction and communication, even persuasion, between world views. As the crisis of expertise continues to be a global issue, this will be an invaluable resource for readers concerned about polarized societies and the distrust of consensus science.

Free Download Brian Schoen, "Continent in Crisis: The U.S. Civil War in North America "
English | ISBN: 153150129X | 2023 | 272 pages | PDF | 3 MB
Written by leading historians of the mid-nineteenth century United States, this book focuses on the continental dimensions of the U.S. Civil War. It joins a growing body of scholarship that seeks to understand the place of America's mid-nineteenth-century crisis in the broader sweep of world history. However, unlike other studies that have pursued the Civil War's connections with Europe and the Caribbean, this volume focuses on North America, particularly Mexico, British Canada, and sovereign indigenous states in the West.

Free Download Mel Nowicki, "Bringing Home the Housing Crisis: Politics, Precarity and Domicide in Austerity London"
English | ISBN: 1447361857 | 2023 | 158 pages | PDF | 6 MB
Often portrayed as an apolitical space, this book demonstrates that home is in fact a highly political concept, with a range of groups in society excluded from a 'right to home' under current UK policies. Drawing on resident interviews and analysis of political and media attitudes across three case studies - the criminalisation of squatting, the bedroom tax and family homelessness - the book explores the ways in which legislative and policy changes dismantle people's rights to secure, decent and affordable housing by framing them as undeserving.

Free Download The Crisis of Ugliness: From Cubism to Pop-Art By Mikhail Lifshitz, David Riff
2018 | 194 Pages | ISBN: 9004366547 | PDF | 4 MB
Mikhail Lifshitz is a major forgotten figure in the tradition of Marxist philosophy and art history. A significant influence on Lukács, and the dedicatee of his The Young Hegel, as well as an unsurpassed scholar of Marx and Engels's writings on art and a lifelong controversialist, Lifshitz's work dealt with topics as various as the philosophy of Marx and the pop aesthetics of Andy Warhol. The Crisis of Ugliness (originally published in Russian by Iskusstvo, 1968), published here in English for the first time, presented with a detailed introduction by its translator David Riff, is a compact broadside against modernism in the visual arts that resists the dogmatic complacencies of Stalinist aesthetics. Its reentry into English debates on the history of Soviet aesthetics promises to re-orient our sense of the basic coordinates of a Marxist art theory.
