His dense, dialectical book, and the film of the same name that he made in 1973, posit an approach to cultural reality that can best be thought of as political science fiction. And yet, there is a sense that the full implications of Debord's radical understanding of the conditions of reality has hardly been understood or acted upon. To some extent, these ideas have been thoroughly absorbed into radical and leftist thought in the 40 years since Debord first published his seminal 1967 tract Society of the Spectacle. ![]() ![]() The arguments of the Situationist Guy Debord, as radical as they were at the time he first made them, might today seem somewhat familiar and even blasé, on their surface at least: culture is a distraction from material reality it is in the interests of societal elites to keep the masses docile workers are alienated from the results of their labor in industrial society. ![]() ![]() Sometimes she is petty, sad, grumpy, proud, scared and more.

A graphic novel about change, growing up (and yes, apart in some ways). ![]() Maureen is none too happy about change in general, but especially when it comes to her sister. And that is not the only change: she starts having different classes than Maureen, her friendships change, and she even starts dressing differently. That is until Francine decides to become Fran. The story is simple: Two sisters almost identical (one is slightly taller this one has a scar) and best friends. ![]() Varian Johnson does the “twin thing” (two sisters who are best friends, know each other in ways even their parents cannot know, and are each other’s “partner in crime/fear/whatever is needed), but then makes a new twist with having a modern touch with a blended family of color. Twins: A Graphic Novel has two main elements that make it both familiar and new. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() "He repudiates Lord Douglas for what Wilde finally sees as his arrogance and vanity he hadn't forgotten Douglas's remark, when he was ill, 'When you are not on your pedestal you are not interesting.'

But secondly – and this is much more important – I mean the habit of identifying oneself with a single nation or other unit, placing it beyond good and evil and recognizing no other duty than that of advancing its interests. It can attach itself to a church or a class, or it may work in a merely negative sense, against something or other and without the need for any positive object of loyalty.īy ‘nationalism’ I mean first of all the habit of assuming that human beings can be classified like insects and that whole blocks of millions or tens of millions of people can be confidently labelled ‘good’ or ‘bad’. As the nearest existing equivalent I have chosen the word ‘nationalism’, but it will be seen in a moment that I am not using it in quite the ordinary sense, if only because the emotion I am speaking about does not always attach itself to what is called a nation – that is, a single race or a geographical area. In the same way, there is a habit of mind which is now so widespread that it affects our thinking on nearly every subject, but which has not yet been given a name.

Jam’s language is alternatingly voiced and signed, the latter conveyed in italic text, and Igbo phrases pepper the family’s loving interactions. When Pet, giant and grotesque, bursts into her life one night, Jam learns it has emerged to hunt and needs the help of a human who can go places it cannot. Together, Jam, Pet, and Redemption embark on a quest to discover the crime and vanquish the monster.

Pet, as it tells Jam to call it, has come to her realm to hunt a human monster––one that threatens peace in the home of Jam’s best friend, Redemption. ![]() Jam’s hometown, Lucille, is portrayed as a utopia-a world that is post-bigotry and -violence, where “angels” named after those in religious texts have eradicated “monsters.” But after Jam accidently bleeds onto her artist mother’s painting, the image-a figure with ram’s horns, metallic feathers, and metal claws-pulls itself out of the canvas. Carnegie Medal–nominee Emezi ( Freshwater for adults) makes their young adult debut in this story of a transgender, selectively nonverbal girl named Jam, and the monster that finds its way into their universe. ![]() |
