Synopsis Diffability by : Avesta Alani
The goal of this book is to attempt to begin a discussion and a movement to reform the conception of disability through language. We always try to tackle the barriers persons with disabilities have in society from a sociological or administrative perspective, and take the conception of disability as a given. It is time to take one step back and reform the ideology at the root of it. This book takes you through the philosophical history of how this present day ideology arose, its implications, why and how to reform it, the effects of the change, while also recognizing potential challenges in this pursuit. This book utilizes theories from Plato and Hegel, among many other prominent philosophers, while at the same time looks at the construction of language and words in both English and other languages to develop the premise that disability is an internationally misconstrued term. “Disability” in and of itself is a limiting conception, and we must liberate the potential with the “Diffability” movement. It is not that one cannot do something, but rather that it is done differently. It is a must read for anyone interested in disability issues, philosophy, and of linguistics and psychology. I invite you to read and to participate in the discussion.

Synopsis ICA 2019 by : Sri Hastjarjo
The advance technological development has led to the revolution on the way people communicating. People, things, and systems now are all connected in cyberspace and optimal results obtained by artificial intelligence (AI) exceeding the capabilities of humans fed back to physical space. This process brings new value to industry and society in ways not possible previously. To explore and examine it, the proceedings comprise themes (1) communication industry and beyond that focused on the concept of personalization to the next level of “mass personalization” in the communication fields, (2) social cultural and its implications that explore communities based on interest, religion, or shared identify to achieve a forward-looking society whose members have mutual respect for each other, transcending the generations, and lead an active and enjoyable life, (3) the digitization of content that focuses on the process of converting information into a digital format where the big data becomes the central of this area that make easier to preserve, access, and share information to people worldwide, but implied by the competencies and ethics, (4) governance; politics and good public governance that explore the way public control others and participate to all governance-related activities for encouraging transparency and public accountability politics and democracy, (5) entrepreneurship that focuses on the endorsement of technological-based innovation that give opportunity to create and develop an initiative effected to society, from a scale up start-up to a global level or become a social entrepreneur using the technology as a place to break a social change, and (6) special issues exploring interests in global, regional, national, and local level.

Synopsis The Legacies of Institutionalisation by : Claire Spivakovsky
This is the first collection to examine the legal dynamics of deinstitutionalisation. It considers the extent to which some contemporary laws, policies and practices affecting people with disabilities are moving towards the promised end point of enhanced social and political participation in the community, while others may instead reinstate, continue or legitimate historical practices associated with this population's institutionalisation. Bringing together 20 contributors from the UK, Canada, Australia, Spain and Indonesia, the book speaks to overarching themes of segregation and inequality, interlocking forms of oppression and rights-based advancements in law, policy and practice. Ultimately this collection brings forth the possibilities, limits and contradictions in the roles of law and policy in processes of institutionalisation and deinstitutionalisation, and directs us towards a more nuanced and sustained scholarly and political engagement with these issues.

Synopsis Against Creativity by : Oli Mould
From line managers, corporate CEOs, urban designers, teachers, politicians, mayors, advertisers and even our friends and family, the message is 'be creative'. Creativity is heralded as the driving force of our contemporary society; celebrated as agile, progressive and liberating. It is the spring of the knowledge economy and shapes the cities we inhabit. It even defines our politics. What could possibly be wrong with this? In this brilliant, counter intuitive blast Oli Mould demands that we rethink the story we are being sold. Behind the novelty, he shows that creativity is a barely hidden form of neoliberal appropriation. It is a regime that prioritizes individual success over collective flourishing. It refuses to recognise anything - job, place, person - that is not profitable. And it impacts on everything around us: the places where we work, the way we are managed, how we spend our leisure time.
