 The Ethics of Latin American Literary Criticism: Reading Otherwise (New Concepts in Latino American Cultures) By Erin Graff Zivin 2007 | 248 Pages | ISBN: 1403984964 | PDF | 1 MB The last several decades have witnessed a reorientation of the political and a globalization of the cultural in Latin America, shifting literature's function as a homogenizing, citizen-forming institution to a more dispersed, fragmented, and (potentially) democratic and liberating practice. At the same time, and perhaps in response to this cultural shift, the field of Latin American literary studies has expanded to include cultural studies, postcolonial theory, performance studies, gender studies, Africana studies, and subaltern studies, at once expanding and disrupting the boundaries of literature, criticism, and of Latin America itself. In light of these dramatic transformations within a globalized Latin American culture, as well as within the field of Latin American literary studies itself, what value can we attribute to aesthetics today? Is a reconsideration of artistic creation a mere return to the hegemonic lettered city described by Angel Rama? Or can we begin to think about an "ethical potential" inscribed within the act of reading, that is, an encounter with otherness that irreversibly alters the reading subject?  The Ethics of Economic Rationalism By John Wright 2002 | 224 Pages | ISBN: 0868406619 | PDF | 1 MB In this timely and exceptionally accessible work, philosopher John Wright tackles economic rationalism from a moral perspective. First, in non-technical language, he reviews the economic arguments for economic rationalism. Wright then sets out to examine the ethical defenses for economic rationalism, considers the many criticisms of economic rationalism - and then weighs up whether the moral defenses of economic rationalism are truly valid.  Patrick W Galbraith, "The Ethics of Affect: Lines and Life in a Tokyo Neighborhood " English | ISBN: 9176351599 | 2021 | 360 pages | MOBI | 40 MB Based on ongoing fieldwork in the Akihabara neighborhood of Tokyo, specifically a targeted subproject from 2014 to 2015, this book explores how and to what effect lines are drawn by producers, players and critics of bishōjo games. Focusing on interactions with manga/anime-style characters, these adult computer games often feature explicit sex acts. Noting that the bishōjo, or "cute girl characters," in these games can appear quite young, legal actions have been taken in a number of countries to categorize and prohibit the content as child abuse material. In response to the risk of manga/anime images encouraging underage sexualization, lawmakers are moved to regulate them in the same way as photographs or film; triggered by images, the line between fiction and reality is erased, or redrawn to collapse forms together. While Japanese politicians continue to debate a similar course, sustained engagement with  Patrick W Galbraith, "The Ethics of Affect: Lines and Life in a Tokyo Neighborhood " English | ISBN: 9176351599 | 2021 | 360 pages | EPUB | 18 MB Based on ongoing fieldwork in the Akihabara neighborhood of Tokyo, specifically a targeted subproject from 2014 to 2015, this book explores how and to what effect lines are drawn by producers, players and critics of bishōjo games.

Edward J. Watts, "The Eternal Decline and Fall of Rome: The History of a Dangerous Idea" English | ISBN: 0190076712 | 2021 | 320 pages | MOBI | 7 MB For more than 2000 years, those wishing to rule Rome and leaders inspired by their example have claimed they, and only they, could restore their society's past glory and make it great again. They left millions of victims in their wake. The decline of Rome has been a constant source of discussion for more than 2200 years. Everyone from American journalists in the twenty-first century AD to Roman politicians at the turn of the third century BC have used it as a tool to illustrate the negative consequences of changes in their world. Because Roman history is so long, it provides a buffet of ready-made stories of decline that can help develop the context around any snapshot. And Rome did, in fact, decline and, eventually, fall. An empire that once controlled all or part of more than 40 modern European, Asian, and African countries no longer exists. Roman prophets of decline were, ultimately, proven correct-a fact that makes their modern invocations all the more powerful. If it happened then, it could happen now.
