Detailed commentaries discuss the controversies Weber addressed, explain his complex causal argument by reference to the general contours of his sociology, summarize the history of "the Protestant Ethic debate," and examine the significance of "the Protestant Sects" essays. To draw readers into the material, this engaging volume includes extensive introductions by the editor, a chronology of Weber's life, a glossary, and numerous clarifying endnotes. Only translation of the revised 1920 edition of The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism published since 1930. Capturing the essence of Weber's style as well as the subtlety of his descriptions and causal arguments, this is the In this volume, Stephen Kalberg revises his internationally acclaimed translation-using shorter sentences and more lucid language-to make the work even more accessible to students and other readers.

For more than 100 years, Max Weber's The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism has set the parameters for the debate over the origins of modern capitalism.

And it's really a product of Central European system of serfdom, where a tenants' rent was paid for in forced labor or service.Īnd he was writing this play about a company, Rossum's Universal Robots, that was actually using biotechnology. The word also has cognates in German, Russian, Polish and Czech. MARKEL: Well, it comes from an Old Church Slavonic word, rabota, which means servitude of forced labor. And he introduced it in 1920 in his hit play "RUR," or "Rossum's Universal Robots."įLATOW: Does it have a Latin origin, or just - he just made it up out of thin air? It was the brainchild of a wonderful Czech playwright, novelist and journalist named Karel Capek. But it's really a new word to the English language. And even some people think about modern robots, which help in modern engineering or even the conduct of surgery. MARKEL: Well, you know, we all think of these mechanical beings, you know, clad in metal with its blinking lights and making all sorts of funny sounds. What is the origin of the word robot? Interesting. MARKEL: Well, the good word today is robot.įLATOW: Robot. Have you got a - what's the word - the good word for today? Happy Earth Day.įLATOW: Happy Earth Day to you. Professor HOWARD MARKEL (University of Michigan): Hi, Ira. We're exploring the origins of scientific words with Howard Markel, professor of history of the history of medicine at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, also a director at the center for history of medicine there. That means it's time for our monthly, well, sort of Science Diction, as we call it. Mona Eltawahy’s book was poised to be a manifesto of sorts. As with Eltahawy’s now infamous 2012 Foreign policy article “Why do they hate us?” (with its painted on naked niqabi), which MMW reviewed in two parts,there’s a lot to wade through before we even get started on the content. With Feki’s book, the flair came from the wordplay with Mona’s, it is the alliteration. However, both titles go for the bold I’m-tackling-taboos-and-I-know-it attitude. Having read both books, I feel Sex and the Citadel (reviewed here by Sya) was much better than Headscarves and Hymens for a variety of reasons – from Feki’s professional background in reproductive health to her historical contextualization of cultural attitudes about sex in the region. Tasnim: The title reminded me of Shereen El Feki’s Sex and the Citadel. Sya: What’s up with books about “the Middle East and North Africa” that are about female genitals, one way or another? In the meantime, here is a discussion on the book by three of our writers. We will soon have a full review of Mona Eltahawy’s Headscarves and Hymens: Why the Middle East Needs a Sexual Revolution. Upon watching the news about the miners' strike, gay activist Mark Ashton realises that the police have stopped harassing the gay community because their attention is elsewhere. The film was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy and for the BAFTA for Best British Film, Best Actress in a Supporting Role for Imelda Staunton and for Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director or Producer. Writer Stephen Beresford said a stage musical adaptation involving director Matthew Warchus was being planned. It was screened as part of the Directors' Fortnight section of the 2014 Cannes Film Festival, where it won the Queer Palm award. Based on a true story, it depicts a group of lesbian and gay activists who raised money to help families affected by the British miners' strike in 1984, at the outset of what would become the Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners campaign. Pride is a 2014 British historical comedy-drama film written by Stephen Beresford and directed by Matthew Warchus. (Disclaimer: I received this free book from Netgalley. Nazarenko has led Laila to believe that she must choose between perfection and sanity-but rejecting her all-powerful mentor may be the only way for Laila to thrive. Soon Laila is pushing herself far from her comfort zone, discovering the psychedelic highs and perilous lows of nightlife, temporary flings, and instability. But before long, Laila grows obsessed with gaining the woman’s approval. But three months before her graduation, he’s suddenly replaced-by Nadiya Nazarenko, a Pulitzer Prize–winning novelist who is sadistically critical and perpetually unimpressed.Īt first, Nazarenko’s eccentric assignments seem absurd. Her creative writing teacher has always told her she has a special talent. The only sort of risk 18-year-old Laila Piedra enjoys is the peril she writes for the characters in her stories: epic sci-fi worlds full of quests, forbidden love, and robots. I was over the moon when I was accepted on Netgalley and even more excited when I stumbled upon the arc. Being blown away by Redgate’s earlier novel, Noteworthy, I was so excited about reading Final Draft. I Am Your Sister is a collection of Lorde's non-fiction prose, written between 19, and it introduces new perspectives on the depth and range of Lorde's intellectual interests and her commitments to progressive social change. Lorde embraced difference, and at each turn she emphasized the importance of using it to build shared strength among marginalized communities. Her writings and speeches grappled with an impressive broad list of topics, including sexuality, race, gender, class, disease, the arts, parenting, and resistance, and they have served as a transformative and important foundation for theorists and activists in considering questions of power and social justice. Audre Lorde was not only a famous poet she was also one of the most important radical black feminists of the past century. |
