Tolerated in Britain for over 300 years-and ubiquitous throughout the world for much longer - visual satire gives offence in the quickest way and in its purest form. Cartoons have long since established themselves as a legitimate part of the general political discourse. As a cartoonist, it is Rowson's job to give offence. But the flip side of giving offence is, of course, giving comfort to the opponents or victims of the offended. In "Giving Offence", Rowson explains how and why cartoons work, why they matter and why the reactions of the offended are often an even blunter political weapon than the cartoons themselves. This book is in collaboration with "Index on Censorship".
Since 2010, Martin Rowson has been documenting the highs and lows – mainly the lows – of the Tory-Lib Dem coalition week after week in The Guardian, as well as in The Morning Star, Tribune and many other publications. This book collects Rowson’s best, most brutally funny, cartoons from a period that began with a “big, open, comprehensive offer” to Nick Clegg, continued on through riots, phone-hacking, double-dip recession, and endless debates on Europe, and will end (perhaps) with the general election in 2015. Accompanied by witty explanatory text, The Coalition Book takes a biting satirical look at Cameron and Clegg’s first – and perhaps last – five years in charge. The book contains a foreword by Will Self.

Published in 1848, at a time of political upheaval in Europe, Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels’s Manifesto for the Communist Party was at once a powerful critique of capitalism and a radical call to arms. It remains the most incisive introduction to the ideas of Communism and the most lucid explanation of its aims. Much of what it proposed continues to be at the heart of political debate into the 21st century. It is no surprise, perhaps, that The Communist Manifesto (as it was later renamed) is the second bestselling book of all time, surpassed only by the Bible. The Guardian’s editorial cartoonist Martin Rowson employs his trademark draftsmanship and wit to this lively graphic novel adaptation. Published to coincide with the 200th anniversary of Marx’s birth, The Communist Manifesto is both a timely reminder of the politics of hope and a thought-provoking guide to the most influential work of political theory ever published.
Hans Holbein’s 16th-century masterpiece, The Dance of Death, reminds its readers that no one, no matter their rank or position, can escape the great leveller, Death. In a foreboding series of woodcuts, Death, depicted as a skeleton, intrudes on the lives of people from every level of society, from the sailor to the judge, the ploughman to the king. By highlighting our common fate, Holbein exposes the folly of greed and ambition, and in doing so brings a corrupt and callous elite crashing back down to earth. In this darkly satirical update, Guardian cartoonist Martin Rowson sharpens and reshapes Holbein’s vision for the 21st century. Death seizes the City banker by his braces and offers a light to the oligarch; it joins the surgeon in theatre and the Hollywood star on the red carpet. Filled with wit and doom-laden drama, Martin Rowson’s The Dance of Death is a masterful reimagining of a book which, in its uncompromising treatment of the rich and powerful, paved the way for the great, levelling craft of political cartooning.

Det gångna decenniets kulturella, ekologiska och teknologiska utveckling har hastigt undergrävt vår förmåga att förstå samtiden. Den upplevelse av framsteg som kännetecknat moderniteten har gått förlorad i ett brus av desinformation, klimat- katastrofer och politiska motsättningar. Och den postmoderna kritiken av moderniteten har hamnat i en återvändsgränd.Metamodernism är filosofen Jonathan Rowsons introduktion till en ny teoribildning bortom postmodernismen. I en tid av ekologiska, sociala och institutionella kriser, där en värld är döende och en annan försöker bli till, erbjuder metamodernismen en väg mot ett nytt språk för vår tid, för vilka vi är och hur vi skulle kunna leva.

Beatrice’s Personalised Theology

This book offers a reading of one of world literature’s most famous female characters. Beatrice is female, uneducated, and lacks all other trappings of theological authority. Yet she carries profound theological authority in the Commedia, despite appearing alongside other characters who were real theologians. The book opens up the hermeneutical space between historical theologians and their poetic counterparts. Through Beatrice’s presence as lover and beloved, and with her distinctive theological voice, we can understand the core of Dante’s theology. For the pilgrim, the encounter with Beatrice is the hinge around which the entire narrative turns; twentieth-century philosophy can enrich that significant moment by offering a dialogic perspective. This book offers an encounter with the text which takes seriously the lifeworld of Dante and his sources, while remaining vital and responsive to contemporary life and thought.
