Seven Rooms brings together highlights from Hotel, a magazine for
new approaches to fiction, non-fiction & poetry which, since
its inception in 2016, provided a space for experimental reflection
on literature's status as art & cultural mediator. Co-published
by Tenement Press and Prototype, this anthology captures, refracts,
and reflects a vital moment in independent publishing in the UK,
and is built on the shared values of openness, collaboration, and
total creative freedom.
Manuel Castells - one of the world's pre-eminent social scientists
- has drawn together a stellar group of contributors to explore the
patterns and dynamics of the network society in its cultural and
institutional diversity. The book analyzes the technological,
cultural and institutional transformation of societies around the
world in terms of the critical role of electronic communication
networks in business, everyday life, public services, social
interaction and politics. The contributors demonstrate that the
network society is the new form of social organization in the
Information age, replacing the Industrial society. The book
analyzes processes of technological transformation in interaction
with social culture in different cultural and institutional
contexts: the United States of America, the United Kingdom,
Finland, Russia, China, India, Canada, and Catalonia. The topics
examined include business productivity, global financial markets,
cultural identity, the uses of the Internet in education and
health, the anti-globalization movement, political processes, media
and identity, and public policies to guide technological
development. Taken together these studies show that the network
society adopts very different forms, depending on the cultural and
institutional environments in which it evolves. The Network Society
is an outstanding and original volume of direct interest in
academia - particularly in the fields of social sciences,
communication studies, and business schools - as well as for
policymakers engaged in technological policy and economic
development. Business and management experts will also discover
much of value to them within this book.

Swordplay, magic, intrigue and friendships stronger than iron: the
first volume in the new swashbuckling fantasy series by the
bestselling author of The Greatcoats. Damelas Chademantaigne picked
a poor night to flee a judicial duel. He has precious little hope
of escaping the wrath of the Vixen, the most feared duellist in the
entire city, until he stumbles through the stage doors of the
magnificent Operato Belleza and tricks his way into the company of
actors. An archaic law provides a temporary respite from his
troubles - until one night a ghostly voice in his head causes
Damelas to fumble his lines, inadvertently blurting out a dreadful
truth: the city's most legendary hero may actually be a traitor and
a brutal murderer. With only the help of his boisterous and lusty
friend Bereto, a beautiful assassin whose target may well be
Damelas himself, and a company of misfit actors who'd just as soon
see him dead, this failed grandson of two Greatcoats must somehow
find within himself the courage to dig up long-buried truths before
a ruthless band of bravos known as the Iron Orchids come for his
head. Oh, and there's still that matter of the Vixen waiting to
duel him . . .

This book is a unique scholarly attempt to examine Don Quixote from
multiple angles to see how the re-accentuation of the world's
greatest literary hero takes place in film, theatre, and
literature. To accomplish this task, eighteen scholars from the
USA, Canada, Spain, and Great Britain have come together, and each
of them has brought his/her unique perspective to the subject. For
the first time, Don Quixote is discussed from the point of
re-accentuation, i.e. having in mind one of the key Bakhtinian
concepts that will serve as a theoretical framework. A primary
objective was therefore to articulate, relying on the concept of
re-accentuation, that the history of the novel has benefited
enormously from the re-accentuation of Don Quixote helping us to
shape countless iconic novels from the eighteenth century, and to
see how Cervantes's title character has been reinterpreted to suit
the needs of a variety of cultures across time and space.
This book examines how the interplay between globalization and the
assertion of local identities is reshaping the political landscape
of Africa. While defending their values against external forces,
people simultaneously - and paradoxically - use the
interconnectivity of global networks to maximize their particular
interests. Focusing on the relation between national identity and
state formation, the authors explore the far-reaching consequences
of these contradictory dynamics. Although Africa shares many common
trends with other parts of the world, it also displays distinctive
features. A region characterized by the increased mobility of
people, goods and ideas challenges some conventional assumptions of
statecraft and also highlights the advantages of federalism - not
merely as a constitutional option, but as a pragmatic device for
managing diversity and holding fragile states together. The book
further explores emerging types of state formation in the same
political space, as exemplified by the combination of elements of a
kingdom, an independent state and a national power base in the
province of KwaZulu-Natal and the careful crafting of an
alternative state within a state by the Solidarity Movement in
South Africa. Informed by examples and case studies drawn from
different parts of Africa, this book will be of great interest to
students and scholars of Africa, politics, sociology, media studies
and the social sciences more generally.

Art and Answerability, the work that would become Mikhail Bakhtin's
literary manifesto, was first published in Den Iskusstva (The Day
of the Art) on September 13, 1919. Mikhail Bakhtin's Heritage in
Literature, Arts, and Psychology: Art and Answerability celebrates
one hundred years of Bakhtin's heritage. This unique book examines
the heritage of Mikhail Bakhtin in a variety of disciplines. To
articulate the enduring relevance and heritage of the varied works
of Bakhtin, sixteen scholars from eight countries have come
together, and each has brought his/her unique perspective to the
subject. Bakhtin's work in aesthetics, moral philosophy,
linguistics, psychology, carnival, cognition, contextualism, and
the history and theory of the novel are present here, as understood
by a wide variety of distinguished scholars.
