Each step of the way she defends the indefensible claim that femaleness is less a biological state of women and more a fatal existential condition that afflicts the entire human race—men, women, and everyone else. In a new afterword, Chu reflects on the book’s reception, the growing anti-trans movement in America, and the continuing need for a radical theory of desire.

In this combative new work, renowned theorist Slavoj Zizek takes on the reigning postmodern agenda with a manifesto for several "lost causes". From a provocative redemption of Heideggers engagement with the Third Reich as "a right step in the wrong direction" to reasserting class struggle as the underlying reality of global capitalism, to a defense of the emancipatory legacy of Christianity against New Age spiritualism, Zizek confronts the failures of contemporary theory and proposes unexpected resolutions.

From the vision of an international architectural modernism (a mission with which Giedion was involved as the first secretary-general of the International Congresses of Modern Architecture, between 1928 and 1959) to debates on the industrialization of construction processes and their impact on public housing, Liberated Dwelling expresses the dreams and anxieties of early 20th-century modernist architecture.

Less attention has been paid to his artistic production, although he began his career as a painter. Le Corbusier indeed studied under Charles L’Éplattenier and, together with the artist Amédée Ozenfant, founded the Purist movement in the manifesto After Cubism. Even after Le Corbusier turned to architecture, he continued to paint and draw. His thousands of drawings, rarely exhibited but meticulously stored in two watch cabinets from his family home, were particularly significant; he considered his work as a draftsman to be fundamental to his creative process.

This audacious manifesto draws on the legacies of bell hooks, Audre Lorde, Angela Davis and others to consider the ways in which Black women have been excluded from, struggled to achieve and opted to reject the category of ‘human’. Sociologist Akwugo Emejulu argues that it is only through embracing the status of the ‘fugitive’ that Black women can determine their own liberation. ''Fugitive Feminism'' is a call for the collective process of speculative dialogue and a bold new model for action.

A hole inside a hole? … Is it the matter that surrounds it, or its constitutive void?". The book is structured into four elemental themes the Hole, the Triangle, the Jonc doucine, and the Dissonance and is framed by their provocative Abstract Design Manifesto, revealing the conceptual backbone of their work. This publication is more than a catalog; it marks their first major presentation following their recognition as laureates of the Audi Talents Awards.

In "Space is politics", architect and urban planner Hans Teerds shows that space is not merely a prerequisite for political activity – it is political in itself. The design of public spaces such as streets, squares, and parks influences who meets, who participates, and who is excluded.

These spaces are not mere backdrops, but central places of democratic practice. Architecture is never neutral. It marks access, defines boundaries, and shapes the conditions of public life. Teerds calls for such spaces to be reclaimed from investors and experts in social dialogues, returning them to the political public sphere. A manifesto for those who understand architecture as a political task.
