Summary:
Technology has become the architect of our intimacies. Online, we fall prey to the illusion of companionship, gathering thousands of Twitter and Facebook friends, and confusing tweets and wall posts with authentic communication. But this relentless connection leads to a new solitude. We turn to new technology to fill the void, but as MIT technology and society specialist Sherry Turkle argues, as technology ramps up, our emotional lives ramp down. Even the presence of sociable robots in our lives that pretend to demonstrate empathy makes us feel more isolated, as Turkle explains in a new introduction updating the book to the present day. ''Alone Together'' is the result of Turkle's nearly fifteen-year exploration of our lives on the digital terrain.

Le féminisme crée la polémique et on demande sans cesse aux femmes de le justifier. L’égalité serait déjà atteinte. Les luttes des femmes seraient dépassées, il faudrait maintenant s’inquiéter des hommes... Et quoi encore? Tous ces blocages prennent forme dans un imaginaire collectif patriarcal, ignorant de l’histoire des femmes et contaminé par de tenaces préjugés. Or, les inégalités persistent et, pendant que nous nous expliquons, nous ne nous y attaquons pas. Ce manuel de survie en milieu hostile arrive à la rescousse de celles qui veulent des arguments pour ne plus trahir leurs idées et des stratégies pour riposter à leurs adversaires.

What makes 'cults' so intriguing and frightening? What makes them powerful? The reason why so many of us binge Manson documentaries by the dozen and fall down rabbit holes researching suburban moms gone QAnon is because we’re looking for a satisfying explanation for what causes people to join — and more importantly, stay in — extreme groups. In 'Cultish', Amanda Montell argues that the key to manufacturing intense ideology, community, and us/them attitudes all comes down to language. In both positive ways and shadowy ones, cultish language is something we hear —and are influenced by — every single day. Through juicy storytelling and cutting original research, Montell exposes the verbal elements that make a wide spectrum of communities 'cultish,' revealing how they affect followers of groups as notorious as Heaven’s Gate, but also how they pervade our modern start-ups, Peloton leaderboards, and Instagram feeds.

Summary:
In ''Complaint!'' Sara Ahmed examines what we can learn about power from those who complain about abuses of power. Drawing on oral and written testimonies from academics and students who have made complaints about harassment, bullying, and unequal working conditions at universities, Ahmed explores the gap between what is supposed to happen when complaints are made and what actually happens. To make complaints within institutions is to learn how they work and for whom they work: complaint as feminist pedagogy. Ahmed explores how complaints are made behind closed doors and how doors are often closed on those who complain. To open these doors---to get complaints through, keep them going, or keep them alive---Ahmed emphasizes, requires forming new kinds of collectives. This book offers a systematic analysis of the methods used to stop complaints and a powerful and poetic meditation on what complaints can be used to do. Following a long lineage of Black feminist and feminist of color critiques of the university, Ahmed delivers a timely consideration of how institutional change becomes possible and why it is necessary.

Sara Ahmed offers an account of the diversity world based on interviews with diversity practitioners in higher education, as well as her own experience of doing diversity work. 'On Being Included' explores the gap between symbolic commitments to diversity and the experience of those who embody diversity. The book provides an account of institutional whiteness and shows how racism can be obscured by the institutionalization of diversity. Diversity is used as evidence that institutions do not have a problem with racism. 'On Being Included' offers a critique of what happens when diversity is offered as a solution. It also shows how diversity workers generate knowledge of institutions in attempting to transform them.
