Revolutionary Desires
Sex on screen is unnecessary, gratuitous, and serves no purpose. This is the sentiment on the rise as cinema becomes less and less sexy. Xuanlin Tham counters that sex scenes can open our minds and bodies to the possibility of new futures, and seduce us towards an expanded political imagination. Through The Matrix Reloaded, Lingua Franca and beyond, Revolutionary Desires explores how the form’s intimacies, transgressions, and dedication to pleasure can be uniquely poised to rupture dominant narratives of capitalism and the violences that flow from it. Why is the sex scene, demonised as it is, therefore more politically important and subversive than ever? And how can it power a desire for something more?

Kriminalpolitik - Brott & Straff I Sverige Sedan 1965
I Kriminalpolitik. Brott och straff i Sverige sedan 1965 presenteras kriminalpolitikens förändring i förhållande till brottslighetens utveckling. Även om gängrelaterade skjutningar dominerar debatten sedan mitten av 2010-talet, har i ett lite längre perspektiv brottsökningen planat ut, våldsbrotten inte ökat och ungas brottslighet minskat.Kriminalpolitiken har under samma tid påtagligt ändrat karaktär. Den utmärks alltmer av politisering, skärpta straff och en känslomässig snarare än en rationell hållning. Strafflagstiftningens expansion har varit historiskt exceptionell med tre brottstyper i fokus: narkotika, våld och organiserad brottslighet.I denna andra upplaga har utvecklingen uppdaterats vad gäller såväl tabeller och diagram som den kriminalpolitiska utvecklingen. Boken har reviderats avsevärt. Analysen lägger nu särskild vikt vid högerpopulismens framträdande och vid välfärdsstatens logik för att förstå utvecklingen mot kraven på alltmer straff, polis och fängelse.Boken riktar sig främst till högskolan. Den är dock också av stort värde för alla som vill sätta sig in i en fråga som kommit att bli en av de mest centrala i samhällsdebatten.

Documents on the Expulsion of the Sudeten Germans
The end of World War II marked the beginning of one of the most gruesome genocides in history: the expulsion and destruction of the Sudeten German ethnic group as it existed at that time in the border districts of Czechoslovakia, a country that had been established in 1918 by the victors of World War I. In a scandalous perversion of every sense of justice, the post-War Federal German governments have kept this genocide hushed up: the truth about this racially-motivated extermination, perpetrated by Czechs upon Germans in the wake of WWII and never atoned for, is considered undesirable German victims are politically incorrect and evidently their place is under the carpet. The book you are holding in your hands is a translation of almost 400 survivor accounts of this ethnic cleansing that expose this crime against humanity in its entire horrible extent - a long-overdue memorial to almost 2 million expelled and murdered ethnic Germans.
Secret of the Golden Flower
The Treasured Guide to Spiritual Growth and Enlightenment The Secret of the Golden Flower is an ancient Chinese text, passed on for centuries, in which Taoist mystics reveal the path to true enlightenment. The first written version was believed to have originated with L Dongbin, a legendary scholar, poet, and spiritual master. L Dongbin was the founder of the School of the Golden Elixir of Life during the Tang dynasty. In the text, symbols for light represented awareness, which is normally directed outward toward externals. The method of redirecting one's consciousness inward towards the self through a straightforward form of silent meditation and breathing was known as 'turning the light around.' Through this process of channeling energy beyond the limits of the discriminating intellect, one's psyche-indeed one's very fundamental being-can gradually open and bloom. This leads to a pure awakening of the mind and spirit. The result can be metaphorically pictured as a bright 'golden
