    Series Statement: "Climbing to 10 to the 11th: Globalization, Digitization, Shareholder Capitalism and the Summits of Contemporary Wealth," Issue 92 of the Real World Economics Review (June 2020)
    Content: While we may find many sorts of inequality in the United States and elsewhere, this essay is about the specific form of inequality exemplified by Jeff Bezos or Bill Gates, that is, the Himalayan summits of contemporary wealth, mostly in the United States. Such wealth results from the confluence of three historical developments. First, the social processes referred to under the rubric of “globalization” have created vast markets. A dominant position in such markets leads not only to great wealth, but the elimination of peers. Since there are few such markets, relatively significant wealth is possessed by very few people. Second, digital markets powerfully tend toward monopoly for a number of reasons discussed below. Those fortunate enough to be the monopolists profit accordingly, both directly, by doing business, but especially by investor interest. Third, the actors in such digital markets are generally corporations, which are in turn largely owned by their founders. As a result, a few individuals have acquired almost unbounded wealth, at least as wealth is conventionally measured, nominal US dollars. Conversely, entire economic sectors (like “food” or “data”) are nominally under the dominance of such individuals. Political economy has been individualized, at least formally, to an astounding extent. A thorough normative political discussion of this state of affairs is beyond the bounds of this text

    Series Statement: New Perspectives on Language and Education

Queering Literacy in Brazil’s Higher Education: Questioning the Boundaries of the Normalized Body -- 10. ‘Saudi Women Are Finally Allowed to Sit Behind the Wheel’: Initial Responses from TESOL Classrooms -- Multilingual Abstracts -- Index
    Content: This book contributes new perspectives from the Global South on the ways in which linguistic and discursive boundaries shape inequalities in educational contexts, ranging from Amazonian missions to Mongolian universities. Through critical ethnographic and sociolinguistic analysis, the chapters explore how such boundaries contribute to the geopolitics of colonialism, capitalism and myriad, interwoven, forms of social life that structure both oppression and resistance. Boundaries are examined across time and space as relational constructs that mark the terms upon which admission to groups, institutions, territories, or practices are granted. The studies further present alternative educational approaches that demonstrate the potential for agency and transgression, highlighting moments of boundary crossing that disrupt existing linguistic ideologies, language policies and curriculum structures.

    Content: Ethnographic fieldwork is something which is often presented as mysterious and inexplicable. How do we know certain things after having done fieldwork? Are we sure we know? And what exactly do we know? This book describes ethnographic fieldwork as the gradual accumulation of knowledge about something you don’t know much about. We start from ignorance and gradually move towards knowledge, on the basis of practices for which we have theoretical and methodological motivations. Jan Blommaert and Dong Jie draw on their own experiences as fieldworkers in explaining the complexities of ethnographic fieldwork as a knowledge trajectory. They do so in an easily accessible way that makes these complexities easier to understand and to handle before, during and after fieldwork. The 2nd edition of this bestselling book updates the 1st edition and includes a new postscript on ethnography in an online world

    Content: “In this provocative new book, Dr. Kevin Veale uncovers the links between communities of online hate and communities of online problem-solving. Using Alternate Reality Games as a key metaphor, Veale not only illustrates how hate communities develop, but also how they can be effectively fought.” - Paul Booth, DePaul University, USA, author of Digital Fandom and Board Games as Media “A well-cited and considered account that internet malcontents could only dream of having their own version of. Great background reading for anyone interested in activism in online space, and the death of the disingenuous online troll.” - - Leena van Deventer, RMIT University, Australia; Creative Producer, Dead Static Drive; co-author of Game Changers: From Minecraft to Misogyny, the Fight for the Future of Videogames “The monetisation of hate and the weaponisation of the internet are key challenges facing humanity in the digital age. This important book traces the evolution of online harassment and ‘hatemobs’ while revealing a startling truth: the very design of our networks fosters hate. And we can change it.” - David Shanks, Chief Censor, Office of Film & Literature Classification, Aotearoa-New Zealand This book argues that online harassment communities function as Alternate Reality Games (ARGs) where the collective goal is to ruin peoples’ lives. Framing these communities like ARGs highlights ways to limit their impact in the future, partly through offering people better ways to control their own safety online. The comparison also underlines the complicity of social networks in online harassment, since online harassment communities use their designs as tools. Social networks know this, and need to work on minimizing the problem, or acknowledge that they are profiting through promoting abuse. Kevin Veale is a Lecturer in Media Studies for the College of Humanities and Social Sciences at Massey University in Aotearoa-New Zealand. His work focuses on storytelling across media forms, and exploring the ways that different forms of mediation shape the affective experiences of the stories they mediate. .

    Content: A reconceptualised edition of the prescient bestseller, first published in 1982, that alerted the public to the likely impacts of information technologies and the emergence of a post-industrial society. When Sleepers, Wake! was first released in Australia, it immediately became influential around the world- it was read by Deng Xiaoping and Bill Gates; was published in China, Japan, South Korea, and Sweden; and led to the author being the first Australian minister invited to address a G-7 summit meeting, held in Canada in 1985. Now its author, the polymath and former politician Barry Jones, turns his attention to what has happened since - especially to work, class, social relationships, and climate in the digital age - and to the challenges faced by increasingly fragile democracies and public institutions. Jones sees climate change as the greatest problem of our time, especially because political leaders are incapable of dealing with complex, long-term issues of such magnitude. Meanwhile, technologies such as the smartphone and the ubiquity of social media have reinforced the realm of the personal. This has weakened our sense of, or empathy with, 'the other', the remote, the unfamiliar, and all but destroyed our sense of community, of being members of broad, inclusive groups. In the post-truth era, politicians invent 'facts' and ignore or deny the obvious, while business and the media are obsessed with marketing and consumption for the short term. Sleepers, Wake! Revisited is a long-awaited update on such challenges of modernity
