This book shows how, after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the Gospel of the free market became the only world-religion of universal validity. The belief that all value needs to be quantifiable was extended to human beings, whose value became dependent on their rating on the various ranking-scales in the global infotainment system.

Focusing on the anthropological consequences of the disappearing of materiality and sensory embodiment, On Insignificance highlights some of the most perturbing patterns of insignificance that have seeped into our everyday lives. Seeking to explain the semiotic causes of feelings of meaninglessness, Leone posits that caring for the singularities of the world is the most viable way to resist the alienating effects of the digital bureaucratization of meaning. The book will be of interest to scholars of anthropology, cultural studies, semiotics, aesthetics, communication studies, and social theory.

JOSEPH is trying to focus on a plumbing job, but is too distracted by the terrible things that have been happening in his family. JOSEPH believes that his son has tried to murder his wife. JOSEPH is afraid that his wife is going to leave him. JOSEPH is terrified that his son will try to kill again. Insignificance – the debut novel for adults from Carnegie Medal-nominee James Clammer – unfurls over the course of twenty-four hours, placing the reader right inside the head of its struggling narrator. A tender act of empathy for the uncertainty and awkwardness of a vulnerable man, Insignificance is also a masterclass in burning tension – as we start to fear not just for the safety of Joseph's family, but that Joseph himself may not even make it through the day....

Although it is widely recognised that Solon’s thoughts on human life (1.30-32) are important to a correct understanding of Herodotus’ work, little attention has been given to their narratological meaning. On the basis of a careful interpretation of five episodes, this monograph argues that Solon’s advice, ‘look to the end’, establishes the viewpoint from which Herodotus’ stories are to be understood. This viewpoint leads to surprising conclusions as to what is and is not important to the development of history. It casts doubts especially on the magnificent role of Athens and its democracy.
