  • Biocultural Ethics and Hollywood Climate Movies, 2004-2024 — Title: Biocultural Ethics and Hollywood Climate Movies, 2004-2024 Subject Classification: Society and Culture, Arts, Bioethics BIC Classification: JF, AB, RNCB BISAC Classification: SOC022000, PER004010, SCI026000 Binding: Hardback, Paperback, eBook Publication date: 20 Oct 2025 ISBN (Hardback): 978-1-83711-286-9 ISBN (eBook): 978-1-83711-287-6 ISBN (Paperback): 978-1-83711-288-3 To view a sample of the book, please click here e-books available for libraries from Proquest and EBSCO with non-institutional availability from GooglePlay For larger orders, or orders where you require an invoice, contact us admin@ethicspress.com Description Biocultural Ethics and Hollywood Climate Movies adopts a coevolutionary ethics and epistemology to historicize and critique popular climate fiction (‘cli-fi’) movies from 2004 to 2024, and recommends this framework as a corrective to the dominant cultural norms and practices that have dominated the US nation’s past response to the crisis. The opening chapters explain the importance of human affects, stories, and performances in shaping elaborations of our cultural differences, including our politics. Integrated within this general framework is an introduction to species-level biocultural ethics, a summary of our present climate emergency, and the response of Hollywood to this crisis. Most US cli-fi films, following the success of The Day After Tomorrow (2004), followed the formula of the sci-fi disaster movie, which drew upon Cold War fears of nuclear war. Soon, other film genres challenged the dominance of disaster movies. These films, including the blockbuster Avatar, fantasized the genre of social justice melodrama to create domestic and war-of-the-world’s conflicts. A few US climate films, however, notably Paul Schrader’s First Reformed (2017), modified the thriller genre to explore the healing possibilities of tragic guilt and grief. Biocultural Ethics also examines what may be called climate-related films because their ideological responses to problems exacerbated by climate chaos have helped to alter the political landscape of the US. These include libertarian, vigilante, and Christian nationalist movies from the past twenty-five years. Hollywood Climate Movies takes a bioethical look at these films, which have helped to legitimate the nation’s lurch toward authoritarian rule. In response to these and other threats to liberal governance, the final chapter counters with bioethical principles and proposals. Biography Author(s): Bruce McConachie is an emeritus professor at the University of Pittsburgh, USA. Reviews "McConachie begins his exploration of our current climate crisis by first exploring important developments of contemporary climate science, and then employing his eye-opening analysis of key climate-disaster movies of the past two decades to reveal the depths of our crisis and to explore various responses offered by those films. He develops a biological and cultural scientific approach, rooted in the psychology of emotions, to investigate how humans tend to respond to climate disasters, and to explore our struggles to come to grips with our dire situation. This innovative treatment of our climate crisis sets the stage for a sweeping survey of global governmental responses, capped off with a trenchant critical analysis of the Trump administration’s catastrophic destruction of the very resources -- scientific and ethical – that might help us deal intelligently and decisively with our global climate Armageddon. McConachie ends with a suggestion of three climate-disaster film plots that might possibly increase our understanding of our desperate situation and offer suggestions for remedial curative action on a realistic global scale."- Mark Johnson, Philipp H. Knight Professor Liberal Art and Sciences, emeritus, Department of Philosophy, University of Oregon and author of books including Metaphors We Live By (1980) (co-authored with George Lakoff); The Meaning of the Body: Aesthetics of
  • Exile: The Journey of the Uyghur Diaspora — Title: Exile Subtitle: The Journey of the Uyghur Diaspora Subject Classification: Race and Racism, Religion and Faith, Anthropology BIC Classification: JFSL, HRH, JH BISAC Classification: SOC066000, SOC007000, SOC008000 Binding: Hardback, Paperback, eBook Publication date: 23 Feb 2026 ISBN (Hardback): 978-1-83711-772-7 ISBN (eBook): 978-1-83711-773-4 ISBN (Paperback): 978-1-83711-774-1 To view a sample of the book, please click here e-books available for libraries from Proquest and EBSCO with non-institutional availability from GooglePlay For larger orders, or orders where you require an invoice, contact us admin@ethicspress.com Description Despite the headlines that highlight the oppression of the Uyghur people in China, little is known about Uyghur people who have fled and live outside of China as refugees and exiles. What were the circumstances that compelled them to leave everything behind? How do the first-generation Uyghurs live their lives and cope with the precariousness of exile – and continue their struggle for the liberation of their homeland? How do the second-generation Uyghurs who grow up outside of China relate to their parents’ past and build their own identities? The Uyghur experiences as new arrivals in Kazakhstan, Türkiye and Europe reveal many issues that policymakers would prefer to keep quiet about: the transnational control and surveillance of the Chinese state over lives of Uyghur exiles; the anti-Muslim immigration and asylum policies in Europe; Islamophobia in European societies. These impact heavily on Uyghur lives in exile. This book tells the story from Uyghur perspectives and document how they have settled and built communities overseas, with the dream of returning to their freed homeland one day.

Reviews "A meticulously documented account of how cultural erasure, mass internment, and long-arm transnational repression made Uyghur identity a fragile treasure."- Ruth Ingram, Institute of War and Peace Reporting, the Guardian Weekly
  • Margins in Revolt: Extractive Rule and Social Struggles in Southern Italy — Title: Margins in Revolt Subtitle: Extractive Rule and Social Struggles in Southern Italy Subject Classification: Sociology, Politics and Government, Community BIC Classification: JFS, JH, JP BISAC Classification: SOC026000, SOC050000, POL042040 Binding: Hardback, Paperback, eBook Publication date: 01 Jul 2025 ISBN (Hardback): 978-1-83711-409-2 ISBN (eBook): 978-1-83711-410-8 ISBN (Paperback): 978-1-83711-411-5 To view a sample of the book, please click here e-books available for libraries from Proquest and EBSCO with non-institutional availability from GooglePlay For larger orders, or orders where you require an invoice, contact us admin@ethicspress.com Description Margins in Revolt offers a theoretically grounded and empirically rich account of how global extractive capitalism reshapes local territories, daily life, and political agency. Focusing on Southern Italy between 2007 and 2017, the book explores a cycle of social conflicts triggered by austerity, deindustrialisation, and the erosion of political mediation.Far from being peripheral or exceptional, the South is reframed as a paradigmatic site—a condensed expression of contemporary capitalism’s contradictions. Here, neoliberal restructuring and EU-led integration have deepened spatial inequalities, producing landscapes of abandonment, precarity, and environmental degradation. Yet these margins also become spaces of insurgency, where new solidarities and political subjectivities arise.Combining critical political sociology with insights from racial capitalism, postcolonial governance, and critical geography, the book examines labour struggles after factory closures, migrant workers’ strikes in agri-food chains, and environmental resistance to toxic industrial projects. These are not isolated events, but symptoms of broader systemic violence—where profit is extracted from land, bodies, and futures, with scant concern for social or ecological sustainability.Margins in Revolt challenges developmentalist narratives by framing the South not as a policy problem but as an active site of critique and collective imagination. It foregrounds ethical and political questions about conflict, development, and resistance, showing how marginalised groups respond not only with grievance but by cultivating autonomous spaces of care, mutual aid, and defiance.Ultimately, the book urges us to rethink the South as a strategic vantage point from which to interrogate neoliberalism—and envision alternative futures of emancipation.Margins in Revolt is the first volume in the Ethics Press Critical Horizons in the Social Sciences series. Biography Author(s): Fabio de Nardis is Full Professor of Political Sociology at the Department of Human and Social Sciences, University of Salento, Italy, Deputy Director of the Centre for Conflict and Participation Studies (CCPS), and Editor-in-Chief of the journal Partecipazione e Conflitto.Angelo Galiano is a Research Fellow at the Department of Human and Social Sciences, University of Salento. He is affiliated with the Centre for Conflict and Participation Studies. Reviews "Empirically extremely rich and theoretically innovating, this important volume bridges social movement studies with critical analyses of capitalist development, The author offer, therefore, a very nuanced and convincing explanation of the centrality of territorial conflicts face to forms of colonial exploitation of marginalized places"- Donatella della Porta, Professor of Political Sociology and Political Science, Scuola Normale Superiore, Italy
  • The Last Laugh: Grief, Death, and the Comic — Title: The Last Laugh Subtitle: Grief, Death, and the Comic Subject Classification: Sociology, Psychology, Philosophy BIC Classification: JH, JM, HP BISAC Classification: PSY052000, SOC036000, PHI034000 Binding: Hardback, Paperback, eBook Publication date: 04 Sep 2025 ISBN (Hardback): 978-1-83711-034-6 ISBN (eBook): 978-1-83711-035-3 ISBN (Paperback): 978-1-83711-036-0 To view a sample of the book, please click here e-books available for libraries from Proquest and EBSCO with non-institutional availability from GooglePlay For larger orders, or orders where you require an invoice, contact us admin@ethicspress.com Description This book investigates what the author terms “The last laugh,” which reveals itself as a crucial element in the work of grief and acceptance amid social strife and political injustice. We hear and see the laugh emerge when engaged in situations that are not funny at first glance, at least not according to social conventions of propriety. The last laugh is seriously funny, insofar as it reveals the extent to which the laughing subject is thoroughly enmeshed in the unfunniness of social antagonisms yet also capable of accepting its position as something to laugh at and through in order to endure the pains of social life. The last laugh emerges at the hiatus between action/autonomy and passivity/non-doing. Chances are high that you have laughed this laugh. This book is designed to help us all understand what it is and how it helps promote insight in the contemporary moment. Understanding the last laugh is necessary to enable full, open grieving of social injustice; treating the comic as a necessary component of open, or what the social sciences refer to as “adaptive,” grieving. It thus provides a new perspective on grief scholarship, as well as a new perspective on comedy studies. Biography Author(s): Dr. Will Daddario is a Mental Health Counselor and Philosopher in Charlotte, North Carolina, USA Reviews "The Last Laugh does not aim to be the last word in any theory of comedy, because its scope is so much wider than that, ranging from the works of Chekhov and Monkman, through scholarly discussions of modern memes, The Onion, and ancient Cynicism, to an excoriating critique of Trumpism via Jacques Lacan. Daddario’s work is both a cri de coeur and a prolonged scream in the face of worldly horror, unearthing what might be called the ‘Unfunny Valley’ between the drôle and the dreadful, life and death, humour and torment. This book offers us a performance of comedic immanence that verges on unbearable grief just as much as it invites us into its laughter."- John Ó Maoilearca, Honorary Professor, Department of Critical and Historical Studies, Kingston University, London"What is a laugh that rivets us into the world? When a laugh laughs us into being, pushing us toward life’s limit, we dance at the edge of what laughter can do. Here, where grief and exuberance coincide, the laughter takes us with it, with the force of the unbearable, beyond it. This laughter, Daddario shows, exits “being-as-usual.” Moving eloquently from grief to addiction, from joy to the enthusiasm of a life lived beyond sameness, Daddario’s journey in The Last Laugh is a bold proposal to live otherwise, beyond the false binaries of our time. There is no laughter in addiction to sameness. This beautiful book is an invitation to be laughed into existence."- Erin Manning, Research Chair - Speculative Pragmatism, Art, and Pedagogy, Director, SenseLab, Concordia University"Will Daddario’s The Last Laugh is a supreme and ingenious example of performance philosophy. It takes comedy—both as practice and as subject—to its edge: that most compelling tipping point where laughter dies, the world wavers, and trembles in a singular silence from which something new, something different, might emerge or take place."- Alenka Zupančič, Professor of Philosophy and Psychoanalysis at the European Graduate School"A new national therapist has been appointed. But has any
  • World Citizenship: Origins, Obstacles, Prospects — Title: World Citizenship Subtitle: Origins, Obstacles, Prospects Subject Classification: Politics and Government, Law and Legal Ethics, Human Rights BIC Classification: JP, JPVH, LA BISAC Classification: POL033000, SOC026000, PHI019000 Binding: Hardback, Paperback, eBook Publication date: 20 Aug 2025 ISBN (Hardback): 978-1-83711-469-6 ISBN (eBook): 978-1-83711-470-2 ISBN (Paperback): 978-1-83711-471-9 To view a sample of the book, please click here e-books available for libraries from Proquest and EBSCO with non-institutional availability from GooglePlay For larger orders, or orders where you require an invoice, contact us admin@ethicspress.com Description This book provides a unique overview of the phenomena of world citizenship, both through a detailed historical overview of how this ideal has been treated throughout the ages, and a contemporary take on how this elusive idea might become a reality in the modern world. It identifies practical, peaceful, and evolutionary ways to establish the legal status of world citizenship in a post-nation-state world, governed on the basis of world citizenship.The work is divided into four main parts. Section one covers the main influences that could lead people into embracing world citizenship. Section two delves into how life evolves when one sees themselves as a world citizen and the concrete changes one may undertake with such worldviews. Section three then explores the broader notion of what it actually means to be a world citizen, the history of this notion and how to make it a reality in an era of declining democracy, rising authoritarianism and environmental catastrophe. The book ends by outlining where we need to go as a human species if we are to survive well into the distant future. Biography Author(s): Scott Leckie is a writer, international human rights legal expert and founder of www.onenessworld.org, a global not-for-profit NGO dedicated to world citizenship and improved global governance. Reviews "Scott Leckie’s latest book World Citizenship does many things - not the least of which to call for the next step in our collective political evolution from nation-state-based citizenship to a planet of world citizens. His elucidation of not only why this is necessary but also how we can achieve this is novel, ground-breaking and visionary. The book’s core thesis confronts the multinational powers and authoritarian states that currently prey upon the poor and calls for a new and supremely logical system of global governance and law based on the shared attributes of the human race as a whole. This may appear to be a radical idea but if it is carefully pursued and then achieved, it may just save our planet. This book is a roadmap to saving millions of lives and healing the globe on which we all live. Read it and save the world."- Skye Fitzgerald, 2x Academy® Award Nominee and World Citizen"In a world increasingly interconnected yet divided by borders, Scott Leckie proposes a radical vision: world citizenship for all. This book challenges the entrenched system of nation-states, advocating for a unified political framework where every person, regardless of origin, has equal rights and a voice in decision-making. By transcending nationalism, Scott offers a path toward tackling climate change, inequality, and authoritarianism. The book is a call for a new global movement—one that empowers all people to shape a sustainable, equitable future."- Reed Brody, Author, To Catch a Dictator"For many years Scott Leckie has been working and fighting for human rights. His most important concern has oppressed people who had lost their homes. Without human beings such as him, these people would have had no chance to gain their rights. Respect and empathy are words which came into my mind thinking of his life-long battle against injustice. In these days when democracy is under fire from Trump to Erdogan and Netanyahu or even was destroyed like in Russia, Scott Leckie and his work give us some hope that
