Why do words fail men when they need them most? Why is the subject of what men want emotionally, shrouded in silence? This is a book that attempts, in the style of Blake Morrison and Richard Rayner, to put men's experience of Love into words. * I am no longer myself without you is NOT a self-help manual. Jonathan Rutherford draws together autobiographical, psychological and cultural perspectives to present an accessible, troubling, textured and deeply moving series of reflections on what happens when men are stripped of their mask of self-sufficiency and fall -- truly, madly and deeply -- in love. * Though he does write about gay love, the great majority of Rutherford's book concentrates on heterosexual love and he tackles this most elusive of subjects in a strikingly original and moving way. * In a book that is tied together by material drawn from his own life, Rutherford articulates, in crisp, haunting prose, feelings about silence, mothers, fathers, family, romance and seduction that many of us may have had (about ourselves, our friends or our partners) at one time or another but have never coherently connected together.

This collection of essays addresses the issues and concerns raised by the emphasis on society not as a series of homogeneous interlocking blocks, but as a plethora of different, sometimes overlapping and often conflicting communities. Reflecting, for example, on the experience of the GLC's attempt to create a new "majority of minorities" and on the clash of values and beliefs over "The Satanic Verses", these pieces explore both the opportunities and problems presented by the growing diversity of communities, cultures and identities in contemporary society. Topics covered include: consumerism and the impact of green politics; racism and psychoanalysis; ethics and values; AIDS and citizenship; and feminism and age

Beyond the Networked City: Infrastructure reconfigurations and urban change in the North and South (Routledge Studies in Urbanism and the City)

Cities around the world are undergoing profound changes. In this global era, we live in a world of rising knowledge economies, digital technologies, and awareness of environmental issues. The so-called "modern infrastructural ideal" of spatially and socially ubiquitous centrally-governed infrastructures providing exclusive, homogeneous services over extensive areas, has been the standard of reference for the provision of basic essential services, such as water and energy supply. This book argues that, after decades of undisputed domination, this ideal is being increasingly questioned and that the network ideology that supports it may be waning. In order to begin exploring the highly diverse, fluid and unstable landscapes emerging beyond the networked city, this book identifies dynamics through which a ‘break’ with previous configurations has been operated, and new brittle zones of socio-technical controversy through which urban infrastructure (and its wider meaning) are being negotiated and fought over. It uncovers, across a diverse set of urban contexts, new ways in which processes of urbanization and infrastructure production are being combined with crucial sociopolitical implications: through shifting political economies of infrastructure which rework resource distribution and value creation; through new infrastructural spaces and territorialities which rebundle socio-technical systems for particular interests and claims; and through changing offsets between individual and collective appropriation, experience and mobilization of infrastructure. With contributions from leading authorities in the field and drawing on theoretical advances and original empirical material, this book is a major contribution to an ongoing infrastructural turn in urban studies, and will be of interest to all those concerned by the diverse forms and contested outcomes of contemporary urban change across North and South.

Returning to a theme on which the author has written widely, this volume focuses on identity as the means by which individuals struggle to give themselves meaning and representation and analyzes its historic struggles, in particular those against racism, misogyny, and homophobia. Through a series of essays—on individuality, race and asylum, identity and history, masculinity and war, ecological ethics, and ageing—the book explores some of the ethical resources that might help an engagement with the current predicaments of identity. The author argues that society needs a better account of how to define human beings and of the changing dynamic between individuality and society, through which identities are made and remade.

Redeploying Urban Infrastructure: The Politics of Urban Socio-Technical Futures

This book explores urban futures in the making, as seen through the lens of urban infrastructure. The book describes how socio-technical arrangements of energy and water provision are being recast in continuing efforts towards realising ‘sustainable’ transformation of cities. It critically investigates how infrastructure comes to matter by analyzing the shifting capacities and entanglements of diverse actors with these systems, the various means they use to envision, enact and contest changes, and the wide-ranging social and political implications of emerging infrastructure transitions. Drawing on original research into urban infrastructure debates and projects in Stockholm and Paris, the author develops a novel conceptual framework for studying and acknowledging the active, vital role of infrastructure in constituting a material politics of urban transformation. Straddling the latest theoretical insights and empirical investigation of urban planning practice and socio-technical engineering of systems and flows, Redeploying Urban Infrastructure forges new, timely reflections and perspectives which will be of interest to the growing multidisciplinary community of scholars investigating infrastructure and to academics and practitioners with a concern for understanding the wider politics of urban futures.
