(P/B) WHY TURKEY IS AUTHORITARIAN
FROM ATATURK TO ERDOGAN
Εκδότης: PLUTO PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3476-0198

For the last century, the Western world has regarded Turkey as a pivotal case of the 'clash of civilisations' between Islam and the West. Why Turkey is Authoritarian offers a radical challenge to this conventional narrative. Halil Karaveli highlights the danger in viewing events in Turkey as a war between a 'westernising' state and the popular masses defending their culture and religion, arguing instead for a class analysis that is largely ignored in the Turkish context. This book goes beyond cultural categories that overshadow more comple...

COLLECTIVE THOUGHT, WILL AND ACTION IN THE AGE OF SOCIAL MEDIA
Εκδότης: PLUTO PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3476-0189

What impact does our relentless fixation on gadgets have on the struggle for new kinds of solidarity, political articulation and intelligence? In this groundbreaking study, Joss Hands explores the new political and social forces that are emerging in the age of social media. Gadget Consciousness examines the transformation of our consciousness as a historical political force in two senses: as individual consciousness - in terms of sentience and will - and also as class consciousness.

(P/B) THE CORPORATION THAT CHANGED THE WORLD
HOW THE EAST INDIA COMPANY SHAPED THE MODERN MULTINATIONAL
Εκδότης: PLUTO PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3476-0199

This is the history of the East India Company and its enduring legacy as a corporation, dealing in exploitation and violence. The English East India Company was the mother of the modern multinational. Its trading empire encircled the globe, importing Asian luxuries such as spices, textiles and teas. But it also conquered much of India with its private army and broke open China's markets with opium. The Company's practices shocked its contemporaries and still reverberate today. This expanded edition explores how the four forces of scale, te...

From the suffragettes to the socialists, from the Chartists to the trade unionists, the book invites us to step into the footprints of a diverse cast of dedicated fighters for soci...

(P/B) AN ANTHROPOLOGY OF MARXISM
Εκδότης: PLUTO PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3476-0187

Cedric Robinson was one of the most important and influential Black radical scholars of recent times, best known for the pathbreaking Black Marxism: The Making of the Black Radical Tradition. In this late major work, he turns his attention to European radical traditions and explores a genealogy of emancipatory thought and practice that predates Marxism and capitalism itself, and which continues to guide struggles for liberation today. Accompanied by a foreword by H. L.T. Quan and a preface by Avery Gordon, this invaluable text reimagines t...

(P/B) MONITORED
BUSINESS AND SURVEILLANCE IN A TIME OF BIG DATA
Εκδότης: PLUTO PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3476-0190

Our contemporary age is confronted by a profound contradiction: on the one hand, our lives as workers, consumers and citizens have become ever more monitored by new technologies. On the other, big business and finance become increasingly less regulated and controllable. What does this technocratic ideology and surveillance-heavy culture reveal about the deeper reality of modern society? Monitored investigates the history and implications of this modern accountability paradox. Peter Bloom reveals pervasive monitoring practices which mask ho...

(P/B) THE DIGITAL PARTY
POLITICAL ORGANISATION AND ONLINE DEMOCRACY
Εκδότης: PLUTO PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3476-0193

From the Pirate Parties in Northern Europe to Podemos in Spain and the 5-Star Movement in Italy, from the movements behind Bernie Sanders in the US and Jeremy Corbyn in UK, to Jean-Luc Melenchon's presidential bid in France, the last decade has witnessed the rise of a new blueprint for political organisation: the 'digital party'. These new political formations tap into the potential of social media, and use online participatory platforms to include the rank-and-file. Paolo Gerbaudo looks at the restructuring of political parties in the tim...

(P/B) WILLIAM GODWIN
A POLITICAL LIFE
Εκδότης: PLUTO PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3476-0195

William Godwin was the first major anarchist thinker in the Anglophone world, who rocked the establishment at the beginning of the nineteenth century. Famously married to Mary Wollstonecraft, father to Mary Shelley and inspiration to Lord Byron, his life and works lie at the heart of British Radicalism and Romanticism. In this biography, Richard Gough Thomas reads Godwin afresh, drawing on newly discovered letters and journals. He situates Godwin's early life in the counterculture of eighteenth-century religious dissent, before moving on t...

(P/B) MANAGERIAL CAPITALISM
OWNERSHIP, MANAGEMENT AND THE COMING NEW MODE OF PRODUCTION
Εκδότης: PLUTO PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3476-0176

Marx's analysis of society has traditionally advanced a two-class framework; of worker and capitalist. In Managerial Capitalism, Gerard Dumenil and Dominique Levy argue that a transition is underway towards a new mode of production, shaped by a third, intermediary class: managerialism. With a focus on the US and Europe in particular, the authors provide a historically rooted interpretation of major current economic and political trends. They argue that the transition towards managerialism as a new mode of production is much more advanced t...

(P/B) SHUT DOWN THE BUSINESS SCHOOL
WHAT'S WRONG WITH MANAGEMENT EDUCATION
Εκδότης: PLUTO PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3476-0181

Business schools are institutions which, a decade after the financial crash, continue to act as loudspeakers for neoliberal capitalism with all its injustices and planetary consequences. In this lively and incendiary call to action, Martin Parker offers a simple message: shut down the business school. Parker argues that business schools are 'cash cows' for the contemporary university that have produced a generation of unreflective managers, primarily interested in their own personal rewards. If we see universities as institutions with resp...

(H/B) THEATRE OF THE OPPRESSED
Εκδότης: PLUTO PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3476-0183

This new edition of Theatre of the Oppressed brings a classic work on radical drama fully up to date and includes a new foreword by the author Augusto Boal. Boal restores theatre to its proper place as a popular form of communication and expression. He demonstrates the ways in which theatre has come to reflect ruling-class control, drawing on the theories of Aristotle and Machiavelli. He then shows the process reversed in Brechtian/Marxist poetics to the revolutionary potential of transforming the spectator into the actor. Throughout, Boal...

AN ORAL HISTORY OF THE 1968 UPRISING IN FRANCE
Εκδότης: PLUTO PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3476-0178

The mass protests that shook France in May 1968 were exciting, dangerous, creative and influential, changing European politics to this day. Students demonstrated, workers went on general strike, factories and universities were occupied. At the height of its fervour, it brought the entire national economy to a halt. The protests reached such a point that political leaders feared civil war or revolution. Fifty years later, here are the eye-opening oral testimonies of those young rebels. By listening to the voices of students and workers, as ...

(P/B) USING GRAMSCI
A NEW APPROACH
Εκδότης: PLUTO PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3476-0179

Thought of as one of the world's greatest political theorists, Antonio Gramsci's writings push readers to interpret and change the world. In Using Gramsci, Michele Filippini enlarges upon his seminal works, disentangling it from the prevailing orthodoxy in Gramscian analysis. The book explores his work on ideology, the individual, collective organisms, crisis and temporality, in addition to the more traditional areas of his thought, such as hegemony and civil society. Through this close examination, the use value of Gramscian theoretical i...

DIGITAL MATERIALITIES, TECHNOSCIENTIFIC PROJECTS AND POLITICAL REALITIES
Εκδότης: PLUTO PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3476-0169

More than ever before, scientific and technological innovations are playing increasingly important roles in our lives. New products developing today will fundamentally shape the world around us and manipulate our lived experience in the future. In twenty years, we could be zooming on hoverboards to visit real-life Jurassic Parks or navigating with our optic-implanted GPS systems. In this age of blossoming innovation, however, many wonder: how and why are these important projects chosen? And what are the ultimate consequences of this proces...

(P/B) WHAT'S WRONG WITH RIGHTS?
SOCIAL MOVEMENTS, LAW AND LIBERAL IMAGINATIONS
Εκδότης: PLUTO PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3476-0172

Through mapping the rights discourse and the transformations in transnational finance capitalism since the world wars, and interrogating the connections between the two, Radha D'Souza examines contemporary rights in theory and practice through the lens of the struggles of the people of the Third World, their experiences of national liberation and socialism and their aspirations for emancipation and freedom. Social movements demand rights to remedy wrongs and injustices in society. But why do organisations like the World Bank and IMF, the G...

(P/B) INFORMATION POLITICS
LIBERATION AND EXPLOITATION IN THE DIGITAL SOCIETY
Εκδότης: PLUTO PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3476-0165

Conflict over information has become a central part of twenty-first century politics and culture. The sites of struggle are numerous, the actors beyond count. Currents of liberation and exploitation course through the debates about Edward Snowden and surveillance, Anonymous, search engines and social media. In Information Politics, Tim Jordan identifies all these issues in relation to a general understanding of the nature of an information politics that emerged with the rise of mass digital cultures and the internet. He also locates it wit...

(P/B) ECONOMICS AFTER CAPITALISM
A GUIDE TO THE RUINS AND A ROAD TO THE FUTURE
Εκδότης: PLUTO PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3476-0138

'There is no alternative' has been the unofficial mantra of the neoliberal order since its utterance by Margaret Thatcher in the 1980s. As Derek Wall argues in Economics After Capitalism, there is in fact an alternative to our crisis-ridden, austerity-inflicted world - and not just one alternative, but many. Challenging the arguments for markets, mainstream economics and capitalism from Adam Smith onwards, Economics After Capitalism provides a step-by-step guide to various writers, movements and schools of thought, critical of neoliberal g...

(P/B) A PEOPLE'S HISTORY OF THE GERMAN REVOLUTION
Εκδότης: PLUTO PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3476-0182

In October 1918, war-weary German sailors mutinied rather than engage in one final, fruitless battle with the British Royal Navy. That revolt, coming as World War I slowly ended, quickly became far bigger, erupting into a full-scale revolution that toppled the monarchy and inaugurated a brief period of radical popular democracy. This book tells that mostly forgotten story, going beyond the handful of familiar names such as Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht to present the revolution from the bottom up. Through stories of the actions of ran...

(P/B) PAINTING THE TOWN RED
POLITICS AND THE ARTS DURING THE 1919 HUNGARIAN SOVIET REPUBLIC
Εκδότης: PLUTO PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3476-0175

The intensely political cultural production that erupted during Hungary's short-lived Soviet Republic of 1919 encompassed music, art, literature, film and theatre.

The book opens with an overview of the political context in Hungary after the First World War and how the Soviet Republic emerged in the chaotic months which followed the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Dual Monarchy. It looks at the subsequent roles during the Soviet Republic of artists, film-makers, acto...

(P/B) SOCIAL MOVEMENTS AND STATE POWER
ARGENTINA, BRAZIL, BOLIVIA, ECUADOR
Εκδότης: PLUTO PRESS
Κωδ. Πολιτείας: 3476-0031

The 2003 electoral victory of Lucio Gutierrez in Ecuador was met with the same sense of optimism that greeted the election of Ignacio 'Lula' da Silva in Brazil, and Hugo Chavez in Venezuela. Gutierrez's victory was viewed as a major advance for the country in its 500 year-long struggle for freedom and democracy. In Bolivia, Evo Morales similarly came within an electoral whisker of achieving state power in 2002, and in 2003 Nestor Kirchner became President of Argentina. Many journalists , academics and politicians speak of a "left-turn"...
