Bernard E. Harcourt Bücher

»Was hat Pokemon Go mit Waterboarding, Überwachung oder Trumps Grenzmauer zu tun?«, schrieb die Washington Post, und weiter: »Wenn Sie jetzt versucht sind, ›nichts‹ zu sagen, dann sollten Sie dieses Buch lesen.« Die Polizei wird mit Drohnen und Panzern aufgerüstet, die Überwachung der eigenen Bürger ausgeweitet, während die Menschen sich von digitalen Angeboten ablenken lassen: Bernard E. Harcourt führt all diese Themen zusammen und zeigt im Anschluss an Foucault, wie eine neue Regierungsform entsteht: Gespeist aus der militärischen Strategie der Bekämpfung von Aufständen, benutzt sie das Argument vom »Kampf gegen Terrorismus«, um ein neues Herrschaftsregime zu errichten. Dessen Prinzipien beruhen auf umfassender Geheimdienstinformation, schonungslosem Targeting von Minderheiten sowie einer Propaganda, die beruhigen soll. Es gilt, so Harcourts brillante Analyse, diese Regierungsform als das zu entlarven, was sie ist: die Tyrannei unseres Zeitalters.

"Expand your aural and sensory experiences with Extreme Music. An exploration of tomorrow's sounds (and silences) today. Michael Tau had spent years obsessed by the extremes of musical expression. Extreme Music: Silence to Noise and Everything In Between is the culmination of decades of research into the sounds (and silences) that comprise the outer limits and conceptual expressions that stretch the definition of music. Tau defines and categorizes these recorded sounds into sections that allow fans and newcomers to explore the fascinating world of musicians who defy convention. He explores a wide range of extremes including volume, speed, and vulgarity to packaging, recording methods, unplayable media, outdated technologies, and digital pioneers. He asks and answers the questions: Are all sounds music? Is silence music? Is a plate of rotting food once cataloged, packaged and sold by a distributor qualify as music? Extreme Music includes over 100 interviews with makers and musicians as Tau uses his background in psychiatry to help readers understand what motivates people to create and listen to non-mainstream music. As a fan of multiple avant-garde musical genres, Tau uncovers the pleasures (and sometimes pain and frustration) found at the outré fringes of music. Extreme Music is the ideal guide for curious seekers, die-hard fans, and cultural investigators. Features images and curated links to samples of music"-- Publisher's description
