Identiteit

Identiteitspolitiek op basis van religie, ras, etniciteit of gender heeft op dit moment de overhand. De opleving van de gepolitiseerde islam, identiteitspolitiek gericht op etnische minderheden, activisme op universiteiten en het anti-immigranten-populisme zijn daar voorbeelden van. De behoefte aan identiteit kan niet zomaar opzij worden gezet. Daarom moet zij ingevuld worden op een manier die de democratie ondersteunt in plaats van ondermijnt. 'Identiteit' is een noodzakelijk boek – een ernstige waarschuwing dat we onszelf veroordelen tot voortdurend conflict, tenzij we een universele invulling aan menselijke waardigheid geven. Fukuyama bekijkt in ‘Identiteit’ het electorale succes van populisten. Dit succes wordt vaak verklaard vanuit economische motieven, maar komt in feite voort uit een behoefte aan identiteit. In ‘Het einde van de geschiedenis’ schreef Fukuyama al dat mensen hechten aan erkenning van hun waardigheid. Nu verklaart hij vanuit dit begrip het huidige tijdsgewricht.

Ghosted

A social, historical and scientific exploration of ghost-hunting, and why our fascination with the paranormal is as timeless as the ghosts we hope to find.The history of ghosts is ancient, but the history of active ghost-hunting is relatively recent, and investigations into the paranormal have developed hand-in-spirit-hand with scientific discoveries, from radio waves to smartphone apps. Now, more than ever, we want to find our own ghosts. Is it to help process grief? Become influencers? Or ease our fears of death?Ghosted follows the story of paranormal investigations from the Victorian era to the modern day, examining how our fascination with ghost hunting has changed alongside technology and culture. Where we once gathered around tables, observing and recording every movement of the medium, we now take electronic equipment and app-laden phones around haunted locations to catch ghosts digitally. Where theatres and concert halls held sold-out performances by conjurers recreating the tricks of fraudulent mediums, we now delight in picking apart and exposing the evidence presented on reality television programmes. In this book, Alice Vernon embarks on a journey to encounter a ghost, travelling to some of the UK's most haunted locations and encouraging readers to interrogate their own scepticism and belief. Ghosted examines what we are looking for, why we are looking for it, and why have we never given up the ghost.
