Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. In 1930, John Maynard Keynes spelt out a vision of the impending utopia. Work, he said, will become a thing of the past. 'For the first time since creation,' he predicted, 'man will be faced with his real, his permanent problem - how to occupy the leisure which science.will have won for him.…'So where did this vision of future past go? Like baco-foil suits and meals of protein pills, it proved to be a concept that withered on the vine. Instead of an excess of free time to be enjoyed at leisure, a radically different regime now dominates the developed nations: the leisure principle.The leisure principle is one of work hard to play hard, a rigorous pursuit of monetarised hedonism: YOLO, live your best life, have a good time all the time.From the ecstasy of the digital to the monied spectacle that is sport, the gamification of everyday life to the flourishing hierarchy of influencers, Griffith Review 81: The Leisure Principle sets out to scrutinise the terms and conditions of this contemporary compact and consider how we came to cede so much just to amuse ourselves to death.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. 'A faker,' said Orson Welles, 'makes fools of the experts. So, who's the expert? Who's the faker?'Griffith Review 79 lifts the curtain on fakes, frauds and forgeries. Treading the tightrope between art and lies, it explores the appeal of stories, objects, bodies or experiences that offer the… false promise of authenticity. How do we discern what's real and what's not in a time of influencers and identity scams, counterfeits and cosmetic surgeries, disinformation and threats to democracy? From the imitation game and the uncanny valley to con artistry, trickery and scams, artifice makes the world go round - but perhaps all is not as it seems.With a magician's flourish and a smooth sleight of hand, Counterfeit Culture unveils the agony and the ecstasy of the unreal. Can you spot the fake? And does it matter? Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Food is more than a matter of taste. From the comfort of the kitchen to the theatre of the restaurant, the glamour of the TV studio to the gloss of the cookbook page, the ways we frame and consume stories about food shape our cultural histories as much as our personal identities.Griffith Rev…iew 78 serves up a smorgasbord of essays, fiction and reportage about what we eat and how we talk about it. It explores food as spectacle and status symbol, as fad and fantasy, as capital and cultural currency. Has the cult of the celebrity chef reached its twilight? How did food become a device of social stratification? Do early humans still shape our consumption habits? And if we are what we eat, then who are we in the twenty-first century?Taking in table manners, fast and slow food, the dilemma of diets and the ethics of production, from sauteed and sous vide to nothing but raw, Griffith Review 78 takes all things food and puts them on a plate.'Griffith Review is the sound of Australian democracy and culture thinking out loud.' Geordie Williamson, The Australian'Where the news cycle tends to feed cynicism, Griffith Review is the necessary counterpoint: a place of ideas and possibility.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. What can we learn about learning?Australians have one of the highest levels of educational attainment in the world, but not every Australian has access to a world-class education. What represents a 'good' education in a country with an increasingly segmented school system and a tertiary sect…or that faces profound uncertainties, both financial and existential?Griffith Review 75: Learning Curves explores the full spectrum of educational experiences - from preschool to postgrad, from private to public, and from sandstone to the school of life.How has the global information age reshaped our knowledge institutions? What potential and possibilities lie in embracing Australia's vast repositories of First Nations' knowledge? Are traditional subjects - arts, humanities, social sciences still relevant in an increasingly contested field? And what do those engaged in the different aspects of learning students, teachers, policymakers - make of their experiences?Learning Curves navigates a range of life-long learning pathways, and explores the necessity of rupture and transformation along the way.Contributors include: Gabbie Stroud - Tegan Bennett Daylight - Lisa Fuller - Bri Lee - Erin Hortle - Miriam Sved - Gwilym Croucher - Catherine Ball - Pasi Sahlberg - Cath Keenan - Winnie Dunn - Andrew Leigh'Where the news cycle tends to feed cynicism, Griffith Review is the necessary counterpoint: a place of ideas and possibility.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. To take a leap of faith is to bet your belief on an unknown future. But belief is central to the human experience whether it's religious, political, societal, philosophical or spiritual, the act of believing can be a lodestar, a comfort, a ritual, a guiding principle, a reason for living. We… place our faith in everything from gods and mortals to medicine and magic, and while the bet doesn't always pay off, it can usually tell us something about our desires, our values and our selves.What's the role of religion in today's increasingly secular world? Why are we so obsessed with cults? How have the internet and social media attenuated (or, in some cases, enhanced) our ability to believe what we read?

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. There's no place like home although home isn't always a place. It could be a feeling, an instinct, a language, a person, a memory; it could be where we long to return or can't wait to escape. But for all its symbolic resonance, home also has myriad material consequences: from the picket fenc…e to the political arena, it raises questions of sovereignty, identity, economics, class and domestic labour.What's the future of home ownership? What does it mean to protect endangered languages? How do our conceptions of home shift when we start new lives in different countries?Griffith Review 87: No Place Like Home heads out in search of home what it means to us, why it matters and how it shapes our sense of self.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Like the answer to a riddle, status is all around us, but it can't always be seen or heard. The silent switchboard behind our professional and personal interactions, status dictates our place on the guest list, in the room, at the table; through its connections to class, race and gender, it…affords some of us power and wealth and others empty promises. But why does status so often go unnoticed? How does it influence everything from social inequality to personal relationships? And what changing forces have come to bear on the high or low status we've ascribed ourselves and others over the centuries? Griffith Review 85: Status Anxiety grapples with the fallout of our status anxiety and explores what happens when we don't measure up.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The attachments we form shape our experience of the world and our understanding of who we are. 'Hell is other people', wrote Jean-Paul Sartre, his point being less about misanthropy and more about how entwined our self-perception is with the ways in which others perceive us. And alongside ou…r personal relationships - from filial to friendship, from collegiate to romantic - sit the complex emotional connections we form with places, ideas and objects.How do we navigate these varying attachments, and what can they offer us when our lives are so mediated by technology? Can we break free of the tropes and traps associated with our most primal relationships: the social expectations of motherhood, the burdens of filial duty, the complexities of infidelity?

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The past, famously, is a foreign country - but in the twenty-first century, it's one in which we increasingly seek solace. No matter the relentless pace of technological innovation and the digitisation of everything from money to media our appetites for retro design and aesthetics, for cultu…ral products that reimagine technicolour-dream versions of decades gone by, or for fantasies of a past golden political age are ever on the rise. But what fuels this love affair with recycling our history? What periods do we choose to romanticise, and how do our rose-tinted glasses occlude reality? Is all this nostalgia signifying - as the late Mark Fisher opined - 'the slow cancellation of the future'? Past Perfect surveys our need to idealise, sensationalise and glamorise - and asks what the circular nature of our obsessions says about our present cultural moment.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Whether it's man's best friend or the king of the jungle, animals occupy a central place in our social, emotional and cultural lives. We're happy as clams or pigs in mud; we hold our horses or take a lion's share of what we want; we avoid the elephant in the room or try not to open a can of…worms. Animal Magic visits habitats near and far, wild and domestic - the backyard and the dog park, the jungle and the desert, the field and the farm - to examine our complex interactions with creatures furry or scaled, four-legged or eight-limbed, winged or feathered. How has the human-animal bond evolved over the centuries? Is it ethical to have a pet? Why are so many of us averse to insects when their extinction would spell the end of life on Earth? And what truly separates us from the creatures we share the planet with? Griffith Review 82: Animal Magic lets the cat out of the bag to explore all these questions and more.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The capacity to tell stories - along with language and the ability to create art - is seen as both intrinsic and unique to the human species. Over thousands of years, we've forged narratives of our origins, our journeys and our dreams as a means of accounting for who we are and to define our… place in the world. In the twenty-first century, as our existential and environmental crises mount, humanity's place feels distinctly tenuous. What lessons from the past can inform, even shape, our increasingly uncertain future? And are the stories we're telling ourselves about what comes next - environmental downfall or technological salvation - helping or hindering what we might do and where we might go? In celebration of Griffith Review's eightieth edition and twentieth anniversary, Creation Stories looks to the stars above and the earth below to map our ever-evolving relationships with the world around us. From archaeology and astronomy to AI and transhumanism, the preservation of traditional knowledge to the intricacies of postmodern identity, this edition travels through time and space to explore the many tales of who we are and where we might be headed.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. 'Loss', wrote Marcus Aurelius, 'is nothing else but change'. We lose face, lose time, lose heart, lose touch, lose ground, lose our keys (often); we can lose the things that hold us back or weigh us down, just as we can lose the people and places we love most. Loss, whether it offers us pain… or reward, is fundamental to the experience of being human. What might we lose or gain as technology continues its rapid advance? How do we halt the loss of our natural world? What's lost by growing up between cultures? Are we losing our sense of a shared reality? And what are the benefits to being a loser?Lose yourself in this edition of Griffith Review as we go in search of answers. 'Loss', wrote Marcus Aurelius, 'is nothing else but change'.

A…nd if money makes the world go round, it's spinning us faster than ever these days. Do we stand any chance of bridging the wealth gap? How does money influence our behaviour? What part does it play in the erosion of democracy and institutional trust? Should financial literacy be taught in schools? And does anyone actually understand crypto?

Paperback. 1502. 'Go west young man' has been a siren call in Australia, Canada and the US for centuries - a new frontier for them, yet already home to others for millennia. In Australia, the lure of bounty from mineral riches drew generations of fortune hunters to its western third. For some this was a stop on the road to a bet…ter place, for many a destination for new beginnings, while for those who had always lived there dislocation was inevitable. Since the 1980s Perth has become a byword for new wealth and in the first years of the 21st Century became a boom-town the likes of which Australia hasn't seen since the 1850s. There is evidence this is starting to slow, but what will be left when the boom deflates? WA is also Australia's (and perhaps the world's) largest state, most of which is a vast desert butting hard against a broiling ocean. The view, looking back east, is sceptical, looking west uncertain, with a lot of space between both. This edition will see submissions from Tim Winton to Carmen Lawrence reflecting on the unique place and perspective that is Western Australia. With the escalating pace of change in the west it is time to reappraise what makes Western Australia distinctive and how its future might unfold. Authors include: Tim Winton, Gail Jones, Brooke Davis, Carmen Lawrence, Shaun Tan, Helen Trinca, David Whish-Wilson, Ashley Hay, Kim Scott, David Carlin and many more. 2015. First edition. A very good copy.

Paperback. Condición: Near fine condition. 'I believe the novella is the perfect form of prose fiction. It is the beautiful daughter of a rambling, bloated, ill-shaven giant (but a giant who's a genius on his best days). And this child is the means by which many first know our greatest writers.' Ian McEwan In 2012, Griffith Revi…ew 38: The Novella Project relaunched the novella in Australia. It gave Australian and New Zealand authors a platform in the revival of the form in the English language. Griffith Review 46: Forgotten Stories - The Novella Project II was a confronting, moving and provocative collection of five novellas with a historical dimension. Griffith Review 50: Tall Tales Short - The Novella Project III features five novellas selected from a nationwide competition, blind-judged by Cate Kennedy, Jacqueline Blanchard and Brian Johns. It promises to be the best collection so far of this exciting form.

How did food become a device of social stratification? Do early humans still shape our consumption habits? And if we are what we eat, then who are we in the twenty-first century?Taking in table manners, fast and slow food, the dilemma of diets and the ethics of production, from sauteed and sous vide to nothing but raw, Griffith Review 78 takes all things food and puts them on a plate.'Griffith Review is the sound of Australian democracy and culture thinking out loud.' Geordie Williamson, The Australian'Where the news cycle tends to feed cynicism, Griffith Review is the necessary counterpoint: a place of ideas and possibility. It's a relief to find the quality writing, reflection and observation nurtured in its pages.' Billy Griffiths, historian and writer'(Griffith) Review doesn't shirk from the nuanced and doesn't seek refuge in simplistic notions or slogans. It remains Australia's primary literary review.' Professor Ken Smith, Dean and CEO ANZSOG'I've loved what Griffith Review has put together.they're very human pieces, not hot takes. That's what GR has done so well.found a way past the veneer of things to their messy, bloody tendernesses.'

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. What can we learn about learning?Australians have one of the highest levels of educational attainment in the world, but not every Australian has access to a world-class education. What represents a 'good' education in a country with an increasingly segmented school system and a tertiary sect…or that faces profound uncertainties, both financial and existential?Griffith Review 75: Learning Curves explores the full spectrum of educational experiences - from preschool to postgrad, from private to public, and from sandstone to the school of life.How has the global information age reshaped our knowledge institutions? What potential and possibilities lie in embracing Australia's vast repositories of First Nations' knowledge? Are traditional subjects - arts, humanities, social sciences still relevant in an increasingly contested field? And what do those engaged in the different aspects of learning students, teachers, policymakers - make of their experiences?Learning Curves navigates a range of life-long learning pathways, and explores the necessity of rupture and transformation along the way.Contributors include: Gabbie Stroud - Tegan Bennett Daylight - Lisa Fuller - Bri Lee - Erin Hortle - Miriam Sved - Gwilym Croucher - Catherine Ball - Pasi Sahlberg - Cath Keenan - Winnie Dunn - Andrew Leigh'Where the news cycle tends to feed cynicism, Griffith Review is the necessary counterpoint: a place of ideas and possibility.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. There's no place like home although home isn't always a place. It could be a feeling, an instinct, a language, a person, a memory; it could be where we long to return or can't wait to escape. But for all its symbolic resonance, home also has myriad material consequences: from the picket fenc…e to the political arena, it raises questions of sovereignty, identity, economics, class and domestic labour.What's the future of home ownership? What does it mean to protect endangered languages? How do our conceptions of home shift when we start new lives in different countries?Griffith Review 87: No Place Like Home heads out in search of home what it means to us, why it matters and how it shapes our sense of self.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. To take a leap of faith is to bet your belief on an unknown future. But belief is central to the human experience whether it's religious, political, societal, philosophical or spiritual, the act of believing can be a lodestar, a comfort, a ritual, a guiding principle, a reason for living. We… place our faith in everything from gods and mortals to medicine and magic, and while the bet doesn't always pay off, it can usually tell us something about our desires, our values and our selves.What's the role of religion in today's increasingly secular world? Why are we so obsessed with cults? How have the internet and social media attenuated (or, in some cases, enhanced) our ability to believe what we read?

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Like the answer to a riddle, status is all around us, but it can't always be seen or heard. The silent switchboard behind our professional and personal interactions, status dictates our place on the guest list, in the room, at the table; through its connections to class, race and gender, it…affords some of us power and wealth and others empty promises. But why does status so often go unnoticed? How does it influence everything from social inequality to personal relationships? And what changing forces have come to bear on the high or low status we've ascribed ourselves and others over the centuries? Griffith Review 85: Status Anxiety grapples with the fallout of our status anxiety and explores what happens when we don't measure up.
