Onze samenleving en economie zijn fundamenteel aan het veranderen – we bevinden ons in een revolutionair tijdperk met grote maatschappelijke verschuivingen, die chaos en instabiliteit veroorzaken. Hoe kunnen bedrijven en organisaties hierop inspelen? Wat betekent dat voor ons persoonlijke leven? Jan Rotmans maakt de verbinding tussen hoofd, hart en handen met aansprekende verhalen van mensen die een persoonlijke transitie durfden aan te gaan in onze snel veranderende wereld: van een zorgond...

Journalistiek is verworden tot een ordinaire nieuwsfabriek, waar kijkcijfers, lezersaantallen, advertentie-inkomsten en winstgevendheid gelden als onbetwiste graadmeters voor succes. De bedoeling is om burgers permanent gebiologeerd te houden met spectaculaire, vermakelijke of anderszins aandachttrekkende berichten, niet om inzicht te kweken in de wereld om ons heen. Van genociden in Afghanistan tot de nieuwste haardracht van Gordon: alles wordt zonder enige maatstaf van publiek belang de eth...

"This is an extremely well written and carefully argued book that is quite persuasive. It should be essential reading for every scholar in African literature....

"I have hopes that Karatani's book--one of those infrequent moments in which a rare philosophical intelligence rises to the occasion of full national and historical statement--will also have a fundamental impact on literary criticism in the West. . . . For "Origins" has some lessons for us about critical pluralism, in addition to its principal message, which turns on that old and new topic of modernity itself."--Fredric Jameson, from the Preface
