Evaluation at work has attracted much criticism and its damaging effects are well known, so why does it continue to gain ground in every field?Evaluation at Work: A Psychoanalytical Critiqueoffers an original answer to this question: evaluation spreads because we want to be evaluated. Developing a critical reflection from a psychoanalytic perspective, it argues that workers are not mere victims of evaluation systems but are complicit in them.

Tad Skotnicki, "The Sympathetic Consumer: Moral Critique in Capitalist Culture "
English | ISBN: 1503614638 | 2021 | 280 pages | PDF | 5 MB
When people encounter consumer goods―sugar, clothes, phones―they find little to no information about their origins. The goods will thus remain anonymous, and the labor that went into making them, the supply chain through which they traveled, will remain obscured. In this book, Tad Skotnicki argues that this encounter is an endemic feature of capitalist societies, and one with which consumers have struggled for centuries in the form of activist movements constructed around what he calls The Sympathetic Consumer.

Alexander Peukert, "A Critique of the Ontology of Intellectual Property Law "
English | ISBN: 1108498329 | 2021 | 250 pages | PDF | 1069 KB
Intellectual property (IP) law operates with the ontological assumption that immaterial goods such as works, inventions, and designs exist, and that these abstract types can be owned like a piece of land. Alexander Peukert provides a comprehensive critique of this paradigm, showing that the abstract IP object is a speech-based construct, which first crystalised in the eighteenth century. He highlights the theoretical flaws of metaphysical object ontology and introduces John Searle's social ontology as a more plausible approach to the subject matter of IP. On this basis, he proposes an IP theory under which IP rights provide their holders with an exclusive privilege to use reproducible 'Master Artefacts.' Such a legal-realist IP theory, Peukert argues, is both descriptively and prescriptively superior to the prevailing paradigm of the abstract IP object. This work was originally published in German and was translated by Gill Mertens.
