Vol verwondering kijkt de man met de meest Nederlandse naam denkbaar om zich heen en stelt vast: we zijn een raar volkje. Volgens de scherpe observator Jan Postma schuilt er een fascinerende schoonheid in het alledaagse leven en nemen we het te vaak voor lief. En dat is zonde. Met verve schrijft Postma in 'Vroege werken' over dooie muizen, snorkelen in een massagraf en over zijn broodrooster. Over waarom hij zich bij het Stedelijk Museum opgaf als levend kunstwerk (en hoe hij daar met de dood werd bedreigd). Over narcisme en naïviteit, over Kim Holland bij een kerncentrale. De keuze aan onderwerpen is ogenschijnlijk willekeurig, maar Jan Postma verbindt ze met zijn originele blik die van het alledaagse iets groots en meeslepends maakt. Ga met hem mee op avontuur en verwonder en bewonder met hem mee. Jan Postma (1985) is een man van tegenstrijdigheden: gewaardeerd redacteur van 'De Groene Amsterdammer', maar ook, als J. Postma, door 'GeenStijl' uitgeroepen tot een van de 'heersende Twittermannen van Nederland'. Sinds vijf jaar schrijft hij voor elk nummer van 'Das Magazin'. Binnenkort is hij een van de belangrijkste essayisten van Nederland. Op dit moment is hij in elk geval al een van de leukste essayisten van Nederland. Hij woont in Rotterdam.

What happened to the public intellectuals that used to challenge and inform us? Who is the Sartre or De Beauvoir of the internet age? General Intellects argues we no longer have such singular figures, but there are, instead, general intellects whose writing could, if read collectively, explain our times. Covering topics such as culture, politics, work, technology, and the Anthropocene, each chapter is a concise account of an individual thinker, providing useful context and connections to the work of the others. McKenzie Wark's distinctive readings are appreciations, but are nonetheless critical of how neoliberal universities militate against cooperative intellectual work that endeavors to understand and also change the world. --

"Byung-Chul Han, a star of German philosophy, continues his passionate critique of neoliberalism, trenchantly describing a regime of technological domination that, in contrast to Foucault's biopower, has discovered the productive force of the psyche. In the course of discussing all the facets of neoliberal psychopolitics fueling our contemporary crisis of freedom, Han elaborates an analytical framework that provides an original theory of Big Data and a lucid phenomenology of emotion. But this provocative essay proposes counter models too, presenting a wealth of ideas and surprising alternatives at every turn."--Publisher's description.

Dystopia: A Natural History" is the first monograph devoted to the concept of dystopia. Taking the term to encompass both a literary tradition of satirical works, mostly on totalitarianism, as well as real despotisms and societies in a state of disastrous collapse, this volume redefines the central concepts and the chronology of the genre and offers a paradigm-shifting understanding of the subject. Part One assesses the theory and prehistory of 'dystopia'. By contrast to utopia, conceived as promoting an ideal of friendship defined as 'enhanced sociability', dystopia is defined by estrangement, fear, and the proliferation of 'enemy' categories. A 'natural history' of dystopia thus concentrates upon the centrality of the passion or emotion of fear and hatred in modern despotisms. The work of Le Bon, Freud, and others is used to show how dystopian groups use such emotions. Utopia and dystopia are portrayed not as opposites, but as extremes on a spectrum of sociability, defined by a heightened form of group identity. The prehistory of the process whereby 'enemies' are demonised is explored from early conceptions of monstrosity through Christian conceptions of the devil and witchcraft, and the persecution of heresy.

This new edition of « The Handbook of ALM in Banking: Managing New Challenges for Interest Rates, Liquidity and the Balance Sheet » provides a complete overview on good practices for asset and liability management in banking. Since the previous edition, considerable changes have taken place in the regulatory ALM space. Both for liquidity risk as well as for interest rate risk in the banking book, regulatory demands have substantially increased concerning governance, stress testing, risk appetite framework, behavioural modelling, and organisational questions. At this point in time banks are working to implement these new regulations. At the same time, stronger separation of retail banking activities from investment banking is being proposed. Consequently, there is greater focus on efficient allocation of financial resources and respective risk management. Asset and liability management and transfer pricing play a pivotal role in this context. This new and updated edition expands on the previous version to take in an overview of these new regulations and their implications for the ALM area. The two most important developments in the ALM space since the last edition are arguably IRRBB and negative interest rates - both of which are covered here. The low-interest environment also imposes additional challenges on banking book management

We are currently seeing dramatic changes in the ways we imagine and experience time. Permanent debt, unending violent conflict, climate change, economic instability, and widening social inequalities have led to suggestions that we are now living in the time of the 'end times'. In the shadow of a foreshortened future, the present is increasingly experienced as a form of 'non-stop inertia', resulting in experiences of time as both frenetic but also stuck - revving up, as Ivor Southwood puts it, to go nowhere. So, where do we go and how when all options seem to have run their course and time is no longer moving forward? Enduring Time proposes some alternative relations of time which provide hopeful alternatives to the dominating models of oppression, limitation and exploitation. A strikingly original philosophy of time which also provides students and scholars with a rigorous and detailed survey of contemporary theories of time, Enduring Time is an indispensable read for those attempting to live meaningfully in the current age.

We are living in a time of inflationary media. While technological change has periodically altered and advanced the ways humans process and transmit knowledge, for the last 100 years the media with which we produce, transmit, and record ideas have multiplied in kind, speed, and power. Saturation in media is provoking a crisis in how we perceive and understand reality. Media become inflationary when the scope of their representation of the world outgrows the confines of their culture's prior grasp of reality. We call the resulting concept of reality that emerges the culture's medialogy. Medialogies offers a highly innovative approach to the contemporary construction of reality in cultural, political, and economic domains. Castillo and Egginton, both luminary scholars, combine a very accessible style with profound theoretical analysis, relying not only on works of philosophy and political theory but also on novels, Hollywood films, and mass media phenomena. The book invites us to reconsider the way reality is constructed, and how truth, sovereignty, agency, and authority are understood from the everyday, philosophical, and political points of view. A powerful analysis of actuality, with its roots in early modernity, this work is crucial to understanding reality in the information age. - Provided by publisher.
