Illness as Metaphor and AIDS and Its Metaphors
Susan Sontag's celebrated essays on cancer and AIDS now available in one volume. In 1978, Sontag wrote Illness as Metaphor, a classic work described by Newsweek as 'one of the most liberating books of its time.' A cancer patient herself when she was writing the book, Sontag shows how the metaphors and myths surrounding certain illnesses, especially cancer, add greatly to the suffering of patients and often inhibit them from seeking proper treatment. By demystifying the fantasies surrounding cancer, Sontag shows cancer for what it is--just a disease. Cancer, she argues, is not a curse, not a punishment, certainly not an embarrassment; and it is highly curable, if good treatment is followed. Almost a decade later, with the outbreak of a new, stigmatized disease replete with mystifications and punitive metaphors, Sontag wrote a sequel to Illness as Metaphor, extending the argument of the earlier book to the AIDS pandemic. These two essays now published together, Illness as Metaphor and

Garden and Metaphor
Selten hatte der Garten so viele Ansprüche zu erfüllen wie heute. Er ist Zufluchtsort vor dem digitalisierten Leben und agiert als Mittler zur Natur. Als vom Menschen angelegter Ort, in dem Pflanzen wachsen, ist er gleichzeitig kultiviert und unzähmbar. Während über Jahrhunderte hinweg der Ehrgeiz des Gärtners darin bestand, die Natur zu kontrollieren und zu unterwerfen, dient er heute eher als Surrogat für Wildnis, als Habitat für Tiere oder erfüllt den Traum vom Selbstversorgertum. In diesem Buch beleuchten Landschaftsarchitekt:innen, Architekt:innen, Künstler:innen und Philosoph:innen in sechs Kapiteln verschiedene Aspekte des Gartens im Anthropozän: der Garten als Ort der Nachbarschaft, Garten als Kunst, Garten als Ort des Bezauberns und der Entrücktheit. Die stimmungsvollen Fotografien von Anne Schwalbe fangen den Zauber von Gärten ein.

Performing Organizational Paradoxes
Performing Organizational Paradoxes takes a constitutive, process approach to organizational paradoxes. It underscores the performative nature of paradox through underlying dialectical tensions, its sociomaterial foundations, and power features that bring paradoxes to life, sustain them, and enable their transformation. The book first situates a constitutive approach in the extant organizational paradox literature, by broadening the constitutive approach and addressing the many debates and inaccuracies around it. For the novice, several early chapters devote themselves to considering how paradoxical tensions present themselves, invite responses, and interrelate through their organizing outcomes. For the advanced, latter chapters consider the ubiquity of power and paradox, how bodies escape the quarantine of their paradox narratives, how inventive category work can resist power-imbued paradoxes, and an agenda for future research that challenges scholars to do more on the process side
