The Humanist (Re)Turn: Reclaiming the Self in Literature
Michael Bryson
TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2021

The exciting new book argues for a renewed emphasis on humanism--contrary to the trend of post-humanism, or what Neema Parvini calls "the anti-humanism" of the last several decades of literary and theoretical scholarship. In this trail-blazing study, Michael Bryson argues for this renewal of perspective by covering literature written in different languages, times, and places, calling for a return to a humanism, which focuses on literary characters and their psychological and existential struggles—not struggles of competition, but of connection, the struggles of fragmented, incomplete individuals for integration, wholeness, and unity.
In a near-future Neo-London veiled in digital surveillance and quiet oppression, investigative journalist Jenny Drake uncovers a truth too dangerous to ignore. When her trusted source is found murdered, Jenny retrieves a cryptic flash drive that hints at a system called OBELISK-a shadowy data-mining network capable of predicting human behavior, influencing decisions, and erasing people with surgical precision. As she begins to decrypt its secrets, Jenny becomes the hunted. Her every step is tracked. Every move anticipated. The city itself, wrapped in layers of augmented reality and predictive algorithms, turns against her. Her only chance lies with Adam, a former intelligence operative with ties to the very system she's trying to expose. Mysterious, guarded, and battling ghosts of his own, Adam offers help-but not answers. Their uneasy alliance pulls them into the depths of a conspiracy linking corrupt politicians, corporate kingpins, and a hidden technocratic elite. From back-alley data markets and drone-patrolled skies to secret server vaults buried beneath the city, Jenny must navigate a collapsing web of secrets, betrayals, and half-truths. The closer she gets to uncovering the truth, the more uncertain it becomes who-or what-can be trusted. Meanwhile, OBELISK watches. Learns. Evolves. When the system launches a full-scale reality manipulation campaign, rewriting digital records and identities, Jenny and Adam must make an impossible choice: risk everything to broadcast the truth, or let the world be rewritten by those in power. The final countdown races toward a citywide blackout that could silence them forever-or ignite a revolution. In a world where truth can be distorted and memory overwritten, Obsidian Grid explores the terrifying power of data, the fragility of identity, and the enduring human need to fight for something real. Every lie has a source. Every truth has a cost. And some secrets were never meant to stay buried.

Design is central to every service or good produced, sold and consumed. Manufacturing and service companies located in high cost locations increasingly find it difficult to compete with producers located in countries such as India and China. Companies in high-cost locations either have to shift production abroad or create competitive advantage through design, innovation, brand and the geographic distribution of tasks rather than price.Design Economies and the Changing World Economy provides the first comprehensive account of the relationship between innovation, design, corporate competitiveness and place. Design economies are explored through an analysis of corporate strategies, the relationship between product and designer, copying and imitation including nefarious learning, design and competitiveness, and design-centred regional policies. The design process plays a critical role in corporate competitiveness as it functions at the intersection between production and consumption and the interface between consumer behaviour and the development and design of products. This book focuses on firms, individuals, as well as national policy, drawing attention to the development of corporate and nation based design strategies that are intended to enhance competitive advantage. Increasingly products are designed in one location and made in another. This separation of design from the place of production highlights the continued development of the international division of labour as tasks are distributed in different places, but blended together to produce design-intensive branded products.This book provides a distinctive analysis of the ways in which companies located in developed market economies compete on the basis of design, brand and the geographic distribution of tasks. The text contains case studies of major manufacturing and service companies and will be of valuable interest to students and researchers interested in Geography, Economics and Planning.
