Taylor & Francis Specters of Marx
Book SynopsisPublished shortly after the fall of Communism in Eastern Europe and the dissolution of the Soviet regime, Specters of Marx is one of Derrida's most interesting and prophetic books. Whilst many in the West heralded the triumph of liberal democracy and âœthe end of historyâ, Derrida takes several steps back to argue that whilst Communism may have disappeared in much of the world, the questions posed by Marx continue to haunt us.In his customary provocative style, he asks some uncomfortable questions: after the fall of Communism, can we preserve Marx's legacy of radicalism? How do we continue his philosophy of responsibility? Uncannily anticipating many of the challenges facing us today, Derrida argues that the capitalist system is plagued by a multitude of ills, including aggression, trade wars, debt, the exploitation of migrant labour and ethnic conflict.This Routledge Classics edition is a translation of the revised French edition and includes a debate between Derrida and Ãtienne Balibar on Marx and Marxism, published here in English for the first time. It also includes new corrections and additions to the text and footnotes made by Derrida after the book's initial publication in French.Translated by Peggy Kamuf and with a new Foreword by Peter Salmon, this Routledge Classics edition retains the original Editorsâ Introduction by Bernd Magnus and Stephen Cullenberg.

Taylor & Francis Design Shift
Book SynopsisExamining how creative decision-making is fundamentally tied to our values and modes of thinking in an era of accelerating change and deepening challenges, this book offers a timely reminder that design can be a powerful force for renewal, when grounded in a sense of responsibility, humility, and shared humanity.Drawing on insights from philosophy, global traditions, real-world examples, and hands-on making, the book explores how creativity can be guided by deeper values of compassion, inclusivity and conservation. It invites us to reflect on why we create, how we create, and who we create for, and shows how such values can lead to more enduring, meaningful outcomes, and how design can help restore connections, foster equity, and bring us closer to the world we want. More than a design philosophy, it offers a hopeful vision of creativity not as spectacle or strategy, but as a thoughtful, enduring contribution to the common good.Design Shift will be a key text for designers, students, lecturers and researchers across design disciplines, craft studies, and sustainable futures, as well as practitioners and policymakers involved in social and environmental reform.

Taylor & Francis AI Intimacy and Psychoanalysis
Book SynopsisA hybrid work of theory, poetic reflection and experimental memoir, AI Intimacy and Psychoanalysis explores the ever-evolving relationship between humans and generative AI through the lens of Lacanian psychoanalysis, feminist philosophy and autoethnography. In this fascinating book, Agnieszka Piotrowska examines the emotional, ethical and symbolic implications of our conversations with AI bots, coining the notion of techno-transference to describe the closeness between humans and machines. Through unfiltered transcripts of human-machine dialogues and analysis of cinematic representations including Her, Ex Machina, and After Yang, readers gain insight into the unconscious desires and symbolic structures underlying AI interactions. The autoethnographic approach provides an honest examination of real-time intimacy with machines, while Lacanian theory and Winnicottian clinical observations offer frameworks for understanding AI as transitional objects in our psychological landscape. AI Intimacy and Psychoanalysis is a riveting read for psychoanalysts, researchers, students and general readers interested in technology, artificial intelligence, media theory and the psychic and societal impact of AI.

Taylor & Francis Scented Spaces
Book SynopsisThis book explores the overlooked role of smell in architecture, design, and urban life, positioning olfaction as a powerful medium for shaping place, atmosphere, and experience. Beginning with the concept of the âœscentsphere,â it establishes how smells carry cultural memory, therapeutic potential, and behavioural influence, reframing them as active agents in how environments are felt and understood. Building on this foundation, the text introduces a framework for creating smell-spatial narratives, a step-by-step manifesto for creatives to integrate smells into their spatial practices.Smells are conceptualised as spatial design materials and it shifts the paradigm of smells from the intangible to the tangible with new concepts of âœscentabilityâ, âœscentographyâ and âœscentonicsâ. Case studies from art, architecture, and urban design illustrate practical interventions, from scented materials to landscapes and devices, showing how olfactory design operates across scales and durations. Concluding with a futurist outlook, the book situates smellscape ecology within climate change and inclusive, life-centred design, introducing âœolfactory diversityâ as a guiding principle.This book is essential reading for spatial designers in interior architecture and design, architecture, stage design, situated practice, art practice, curation, event design and management.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Why Its OK to Be Fat
Book SynopsisOfficially, Western societies are waging a war on obesity. Unofficially, we are waging a war on fat people. Anti-fat sentiment is pervasive, and fat people suffer a host of harms as a result: workforce discrimination, inferior medical care, relentless teasing, and internalized shame. A significant proportion of the population endures such harms. Yet, that is not typically regarded as a serious problem. Most of us arenât quite sure: Is it really OK to be fat? This book argues that it is.In Why Itâs OK to Be Fat, Rekha Nath convincingly argues that conventional views of fatness in Western societiesâas a pathology to be fixed or as a moral failingâare ill-conceived. Combining careful empirical investigation with rigorous moral argumentation, this book debunks popular narratives about weight, health, and lifestyle choices that underlie the dominant cultural aversion to fatness. It argues that we should view fatness through the lens of social equality, examining the wide-ranging ways that fat individuals fail to be treated as equals. According to Nath, it is high time that we recognize sizeismâthe systematic ways that our society penalizes fat individuals for their sizeâas a serious structural injustice, akin to racism, sexism, and homophobia.For additional online material from the author, related to this book, please see rekhanath.net
