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.

Translated by John Llewelyn Davies and David James Vaughan. With an
Introduction by Stephen Watt. The ideas of Plato (c429-347BC) have
influenced Western philosophers for over two thousand years. Such
is his importance that the twentieth-century philosopher A.N.
Whitehead described all subsequent developments within the subject
as foot-notes to Plato's work. Beyond philosophy, he has exerted a
major influence on the development of Western literature, politics
and theology. The Republic deals with the great range of Plato's
thought, but is particularly concerned with what makes a
well-balanced society and individual. It combines argument and myth
to advocate a life organized by reason rather than dominated by
desires and appetites. Regarded by some as the foundation document
of totalitarianism, by others as a call to develop the full
potential of humanity, the Republic remains a challenging and
intensely exciting work.
This book traces the effects of materiality - including money and
its opposite, poverty - on the psychical lives of George Bernard
Shaw and his characters. While this study focuses on the
protagonists of the five novels Shaw wrote in the late 1870s and
early 1880s, it also explores how materialism, feeling, and emotion
are linked throughout his entire canon. At the same time, it
demonstrates how Shaw's conceptions of human subjectivity parallel
those of two of his contemporaries, Sigmund Freud and Georg Simmel.
In particular, this book explores how theories of so-called
'marginal economics' influence fin de siecle thought about human
psychology and the sociology of the modern metropolis, particularly
London.
All research content shall be under university surveillance.
Academic freedom must take second place to security from terrorism.
Only disciplines that pay their way will earn the right to survive
in the university of the future. Universities are increasingly
profit-driven, and the faculty seems increasingly passive in the
face of political and economic pressures. Office Hours argues that
it's not enough to blame market forces or the indifference of
politicians: academics can often be their own worst enemies. In a
series of stinging analyses, Nelson and Watt examine the current
sorry state of higher education. The second half of the volume
offers 'alternative futures' for the academy, visions that involve
academic organizations, public outreach through the internet,
faculty unionization, and campus organizing.
In less than a generation, higher education has undergone tremendous economic and cultural changes Academic Keywords takes an honest look at the state of academia today. Arranged alphabetically, this insightful reference features many of the hottest buzzwords on campuses. From academic freedom to tenure, affirmative action to sexual harassment, Cary Nelson and Stephen Watt offer a passionate assessment of the changing landscape of higher education.
Know what "academic freedom" is? Or what it's come to mean? What's
affirmative about "affirmative action" these days? Think you're up
on the problem of "sexual harassment" on campus? Or know how much
the university depends on "part-time faculty"?
"Academic Keywords" is a witty, informed, and sometimes merciless
assessment of today's campus, an increasingly corporatized
institution that may have bitten off more than its administration
is ready to chew. Cary Nelson and Steve Watt use the format of a
dictionary to present stories and reflections on some of the most
pressing issues affecting higher education in America. From the
haphazard treatment of graduate students to the use and abuse of
faculty (as well as abuses commited by faculty), Nelson and Watt
present a compelling and, at times, enraging report on the state of
the campus.
If you're working for a university, studying at one, or simply
interested in what's wrong with American education, you won't want
to miss "Academic Keywords."

As computers and communications technology advance, greater
opportunities arise for intelligent mathematical computation. While
computer algebra, au- mated deduction and mathematical publishing
each have long and successful histories, we are now seeing
increasing opportunities for synergy among them. The Conferences on
Intelligent Computer Mathematics (cicm 2009) is a c- lection of
co-located meetings, allowing researchers and practitioners active
in these related areas to share recent results and identify the
next challenges. The speci?c areas of the cicm conferences and
workshops are described below, but the unifying theme is the
computerized handling of mathematical knowledge. The successful
formalization of much of mathematics, as well as a better -
derstanding of its internal structure, makes mathematical knowledge
in many waysmore tractable than generalknowledge, as traditionally
treatedin arti?cial intelligence. Similarly, we can also expect the
problem of e?ectively using ma- ematical knowledge in automated
ways to be much more tractable. This is the goal of the work in the
cicm conferences and workshops. In the long view, so- ing the
problems addressed by cicm is an important milestone in formulating
the next generation of mathematical software
Aristotle (384-322BC) is the philosopher who has most influence on
the development of western culture, writing on a wide variety of
subjects including the natural sciences as well as the more
strictly philosophical topics of logic, metaphysics and ethics. To
the poet Dante, he was simply 'the master of those who know'.
The "Ethics" contains his views on what makes a good human life.
While the work continues to stimulate and challenge modern
philosophers, the general course of the argument is easily
accessible to the non-specialist. Both as a key influence in the
history of ideas and as a work containing unique insights into the
human condition, this is a book that simply demands to be read.
Winner of the Book Prize for New Authors from the National
Historical Society The War of 1812 played a critical role in the
emergence of an American "culture of capitalism." In The Republic
Reborn Steven Watts offers a brilliant new interpretation of the
war and the foundation of liberal America. He explores the sweeping
changes that took place in America between 1790 and 1820-the growth
of an entrepreneurial economy of competition, the devlopment of a
liberal political structure and ideology, and the rise of a
bourgeois culture of self-interest and self-control. "Serving as a
vehicle for change and offering an outlet for the anxieties of a
changing socity," Watts writes, the War of 1812 "ultimately
intensified and sanctioned the imperatives of a developing
world-view."

Henry Ford, a major architect of modern America, has lived on in
the imagination of his fellow citizens as an enduring figure of
fascination, an inimitable individual, a controversial personality,
and a social visionary from the moment his Model T brought the
automobile to the masses and triggered the consumer revolution. But
never before has his outsized genius been brought to life so
vividly as by Steven Watts in this major new biography. Watts, the
author of the much acclaimed "The Magic Kingdom: Walt Disney and
the American Way of Life, has produced a superbly researched study
of a man who was a bundle of contradictions.
Ford was the entrepreneur who first made the automobile affordable
but who grew skeptical of consumerism's corrosive impact on moral
values, an employer who insisted on a living wage for his workers
but stridently opposed unions, who established the assembly line
but worried about its effect on the work ethic, who welcomed
African Americans to his company in the age of Jim Crow but was a
rabid anti-Semite. He was the private man who had a warm, loving
marriage while siring a son with a mistress; a father who drove his
heir, Edsel, so relentlessly that it contributed to his early
death; a folksy social philosopher and at one time, perhaps, the
most popular figure in America, who treated his workers so harshly
that they turned against him; creator of the largest, most
sophisticated factory in the world who preferred spending time in
his elaborate re-creation of a nineteenth-century village; and the
greatest businessman of his age who haplessly lost control of his
own company in his declining years.
Watts poignantly shows us how a Michigan farm boy frommodest
circumstances emerged as one of America's richest men and one of
its first mass-culture celebrities, one who became a folk hero to
millions of ordinary citizens because of his support of high wages
and material abundance for everyday workers and yet also excited
the admiration of figures as diverse as Vladimir Lenin and Adolf
Hitler, John D. Rockefeller and Woodrow Wilson.
Disclosing the man behind the myth and situating his achievements
and controversies firmly within the context of early
twentieth-century America, Watts has given us a comprehensive,
illuminating biography of an American icon.
Each John Wick film has earned more money and recognition than its
predecessor, defying the conventional wisdom about the box office's
action movie landscape, normally dominated by superhero movies and
science fiction epics. As The Worlds of John Wick explores, the
worldbuilding of John Wick offers thrills that you simply can't
find anywhere else. The franchise's plot combines familiar elements
of the revenge thriller and crime film with seamlessly coordinated
action. One of its most distinctive appeals, however, is the
detailed and multifaceted fictional world-or rather, worlds-it
constructs. The contributors to this volume consider everything
from fight sequences, action aesthetics, and stunts to grief,
cinematic space and time, and gender performance to map these
worlds and explore how their range and depth make John Wick a hit.
A deep dive into this popular neo-noir franchise, The Worlds of
John Wick celebrates and complicates the cult phenomenon that is
John Wick.
