TALES OF A DIGITAL ANTHROPOLOGIST
ON AGEING...AND LOVING IT!
WISDOM OF GENERATIONS
AFROPEAN
LOVE FACTUALLY
THE PRECARIAT NOTES ON A MURDER
THE LIGHT THAT FAILED
Belgian intellectual and political scientist PETER VERMEERSCH was recently called to sit on a jury and found himself confronted with questions about the true circumstances of a murder. With us, he shares his deep-est, penetrating reflections on violence and the value of true justice in our time.
Digital anthropologist DANIEL MILLER unpacks the complex effects and consequences of the use of social media and smartphones drawing from his international ethnographic research on wellbeing and mid-life.
We’re now living longer lives, but are we living better? Work, leisure, personal finance, relationships: all are set to be dramatically affected as human lifespans enter extra time. How can our societies reframe how we perceive ageing and live our late lives as if we aren’t old at all?
Contemporary historianELIZA FILBY shares her theories of Generational Intelligence, with in-depth insights from successive generations.She explains how to navigate inter-generational complexity, with a view to resolving our main business and societal challenges.
Afropean, the unhyphenated, whole identity of black Europeans. Writer and TV-presenter JOHNY PITTS takes us on a radical and wide-rang-ing tour of Europe’s black communities from Brussels’ Matonge to Moscow, highligh-ting their common identity and showing a side of Europe that often goes unseen.
Lawyer turned author LAURA MUCHA dives into the science of who, how and why we love. By sharing insights from hun-dreds of strangers’ stories in over 40 countries, the most incredibly frank, intimate, and illuminating conversa-tions will make you look at love from all angles.
Professor of development studies and economist Guy Standing on why we need a basic income to protect us from the ‘Precariat’ - the ‘new dangerous class’. His solution for our time - riddled with un-certainty and inequalities - is a matter of social justice, able to enhance individual liberty and provide people with a much needed sense of security.
In his latest brilliant work of political psychology, public intellectual IVAN KRASTEV transforms our understan-ding of the crisis of liberalism. Digging out the emotional and pre-ideological origins of the West’s current crisis, his is a timely portrait of the extraordinary history of our ‘Age of Imitation’.
