Why have so many teen boys fallen under the thrall of Andrew Tate\, a failed reality show contestant? And why are a growing number of influencers like #tradwives dressing up like 1950s housewives and preaching total subservience to men? In the years since #MeToo – the largest social media facilitated feminist campaign in history – Roe v. Wade has been overturned in the United States\, there have been attacks on reproductive rights in multiple countries and female political leaders have withdrawn from the world stage citing the level of abuse they get as a reason. \n\n\n\nJoin us as we welcome Cécile Simmons to the shop to talk about her essential new book: CTRL HATE DELETE which takes a deep dive into how a collection of misogynists and their allies have turned male supremacist ideology from a niche set of beliefs into a mainstream movement. With interviews from experts\, influencers and activists\, it outlines how to fight the rising tide of online misogyny and make online spaces more equal and inclusive. \n\n\n\nCécile Simmons is an investigative researcher at the Institute for Strategic Dialogue focusing on disinformation\, misogyny\, and digital culture. She was previously an advisor to the charity Glitch\, which focuses on ending gender-based online violence\, and also advises tech companies\, government bodies and civil society organisations on online harms. She has written for publications including The Guardian\, Politico\, WIRED and Cosmopolitan and appeared as an expert commentator on broadcast media including BBC Newsnight\, France 24 and ABC News. \n\n\n\nAs always\, tickets are priced on a sliding scale.

Class Composition & the Social Reproduction of Cultural Labor. \n\n\n\nSurviving as a cultural or artistic worker in the city has never been easy. Creative workers find themselves celebrated as engines of economic growth\, economic recovery and urban revitalization even as the conditions for our continued survival becomes more precarious. How can you make a living today in such a situation? That is\, how to hold together the demands of paying the rent and bills while managing all the tasks necessary to support one’s practice? How to manage the tensions between creating spaces for creativity and imagination while working through the constraints posed by economic conditions? \n\n\n\nIn a more traditional workplace it is generally easy to distinguish between those who planned and managed the labor process and those who were involved in its executions: between the managers and the managed. For creative workers these distinctions become increasingly hard to make. Today the passionate and self-motivated labor of the artisan increasingly becomes the model for a self-disciplining\, self-managed labor force that works harder\, longer\, and often for less pay precisely because of its attachment to some degree of personal fulfillment in forms of engaging work. And that ain’t no way to make a living\, having to struggle three times as hard for just to have a sense of engagement in meaningful work. \n\n\n\nThe Wages of Dreamworkinvestigates how cultural workers in the modern metropolis manage these competing tensions and demands. Does the cultural economy treat you as a tool? If so\, perhaps it’s time to rethink how to down tools in this metropolitan factory. \n\n\n\nAs always\, tickets are priced on a sliding scale. If you are unable to pay for a ticket please do not hesitate to contact us at shop@housmans.com\, and a free ticket will be made available. \n\n\n\nIf you choose ‘book + event entry’ or ‘special bundle’\, your copies of the book will be available to collect on the evening. If you would like to collect it earlier\, or arrange for delivery\, please contact us (postage is £2.95). Telephone 020 7837 4473 or email shop@housmans.com. \n\n\n\nDoors Open at 6:45pm\, Event Starts 7:00 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShare this:\n Share on X (Opens in new window)\n X\n \n Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n Facebook\n \n Share on Insta (Opens in new window)\n Insta\n Like this:Like Loading… URL:https://housmans.com/event/book-talk-the-wages-of-dream-work-class-composition-the-social-reproduction-of-cultural-labor/ CATEGORIES:Book Talk,Literary Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://housmans.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/9781570274077.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20250409T190000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20250409T203000 DTSTAMP:20250310T151435Z CREATED:20250203T160728Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250310T151435Z UID:64271-1744225200-1744230600@housmans.com SUMMARY:Book Launch: We Are Not Anonymous by Stephen Oram DESCRIPTION:A Working Utopia? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn a near-future England\, fractured into three nations and ravaged by climate floods\, Naomi\, a fiercely determined activist\, and Beth\, her courageous partner\, fight for a better world. Their love deepens as they take on Kai\, the ruthless leader of the tech-elite Narcissists\, whose experiments on children and government-controlling technology threaten to reshape humanity itself. \n\n\n\n As part of the activist group Resist and Regain\, Beth and Naomi battle to subvert Kai’s ambitions and create a more equal and transparent world. But as the stakes rise\, Beth must face a harrowing choice: should she try to dismantle Kai’s regime at the cost of her family’s safety—and their future? \n\n\n\nHousmans is delighted to launch Stephen Oram’s sci-fi thriller We Are Not Anonymous with a probing conversation exploring some of its major themes between Oram and Eva Pascoe\, co-chair of CyberSalon. \n\n\n\nWe will never agree what utopia looks like; a utopia for some is a dystopia for others. Should we simply forget our attempts to define what utopia looks like? Should we\, instead\, agree on how we organise ourselves and make our decisions; our continuous process of becoming? \n\n\n\nWith the rise of the tech oligarchs and their algorithms dividing us\, how do we resist? Their rapid development of technology is unlikely to slow down\, but can we use it for communal benefit? \n\n\n\nWe Are Not Anonymous is an accessible sci-fi thriller rooted in today’s concerns about AI\, billionaire tech barons\, climate change\, politics and government\, personal rights\, data ownership and police militarization. But it’s also an inspiring story about the power of activism\, community and the resourcefulness of humanity. \n\n\n\n“Stephen Oram combines gripping storytelling with scientific literacy and original SF. Instead of rearranging tropes he comes up with new ideas.” Geoff Ryman\, multi-award-winning author of HIM. \n\n\n\n“Now that we’ve lived into the future that cyberpunk projected\, we urgently need to fight our way out. This book imagines and encourages that fight.” Ken MacLeod\, multi-award winning author. \n\n\n\n“A frighteningly credible near-future dystopia that is as convincing as it is disturbing\, We Are Not Anonymous unfolds with cinematic scale and urgency.” Ewan Morrison\, award winning author and essayist. \n\n\n\n“An intellectually arresting\, thought-provoking work of creative futurism that drives our current politics and technology to their magical — and logical — extremes.” Ana Sun\, author. \n\n\n\n“Stephen Oram combines gripping storytelling with scientific literacy and original SF. Instead of rearranging tropes he comes up with new ideas.” Geoff Ryman\, multi-award-winning author of HIM. \n\n\n\n“A gripping near future yarn\, We Are Not Anonymous is an inspiring story for those who believe that courage can outmatch control.” Eva Pascoe\, co-founder of digital futures think tank\, Cybersalon. \n\n\n\nSTEPHEN ORAM writes social science fiction set in the near-future\, exploring the intersection of messy humans and imperfect technology. Previously\, he has two published novels\, three collections of sci-fi shorts and is published in many anthologies\, including the award-winning Best of British Science Fiction 2022 (Newcon Press). He also works with scientists and technologists to explore possible outcomes of their research with the public through short stories and has co-edited four anthologies along these lines. Previously\, he was the head of policy for post-16 skills strategic development and innovation at the Department for Education.  Stephen is based in the heart of central London and\, alongside his experience of living inside and outside of the establishment\, he attributes much of the urban grittiness and the optimism about humanity in his writing to the noise\, the bustle\, and the diverse community of where he lives. \n\n\n\nEVA PASCOE is co-chairperson of CyberSalon and has pioneered ecommerce in the UK. She was a co-founder of Cyberia\, the first global cybercafé chain and Easynet Internet Service Provider. She has recently co-authored digital retail policy papers on “Re-Imagining the High Street” and a new policy for West End of London in her “Surf and Turf” contribution to a recent publication commissioned by Centre for London and New West End Company.

Covering five centuries in England’s history\, from street ballads and art song to grime\, hymns\, music hall\, and punk\, this book explores the causes that protest songs adopt\, the conditions that give rise to them\, and the institutions that have suppressed them.\n\n\n\n\n\nWhether accompanying a march\, a sit-in\, or a confrontation with police\, songs and protest are inextricably linked. As a tool for political activism\, the protest song spells out the issues at the heart of each cause. Over a surprisingly long history\, it has been used to spread ideas\, inspire political imagination\, and motivate political action. \n\n\n\nThe protest song is – and has always been – a form of political oratory as vital to political representation as it is to performance. Investigating five centuries of English history\, Our Subversive Voice establishes that the protest song is not merely the preserve of singer-songwriters; it is a mode of political communication that has been used to confront many systems of oppression across its many genres\, from street ballads to art song\, grime to hymns\, and music hall to punk. Our Subversive Voice traces the history of the protest song\, examines its rhetorical forms\, and explores the conditions of its genesis. It recounts how these songs have addressed discrimination and inequality\, exploitation and the environment\, and immigration and identity\, and how institutions and organizations have sought both to facilitate and to suppress them. Drawing on a large and diverse corpus of songwriters\, this book argues that song does more than accompany protest: it choreographs and communicates it. \n\n\n\nThe protest song\, Our Subversive Voice shows\, is an enduring\, affecting\, and effective means of expression and an essential element in understanding the drive to create political change\, in the past and for the future. \n\n\n\nOur speakers: \n\n\n\nJohn Street is emeritus professor of politics at the University of East Anglia. \n\n\n\nOskar Cox Jensen is a NUAcT Fellow in music at Newcastle University. \n\n\n\nAlan Finlayson is professor of political and social theory at the University of East Anglia. \n\n\n\nAngela McShane is honorary reader in history at the University of Warwick. \n\n\n\nMatthew Worley is professor of modern history at the University of Reading. \n\n\n\nAdvanced booking strongly recommended.

Today\, squatters live a marginalised\, stigmatised and criminalised existence\, yet they persist. Behind the glittering façade of shiny new buildings\, London is a network of vacant offices\, boarded-up shops and dilapidated pubs that host some of the city’s poorest and most determined citizens\, exiled and increasingly pushed to the margins. \n\n\n\nWe are very excited to welcome Samuel Burgum to Housmans to talk about his vital new book about a facinating\, and much neglected\, part of our urban history. Squatting London: The Politics of Property is an account of the real lives of the city’s squatters: their ambitions and struggles. Squatting is a challenge to the logic of property which underpins the city. By finding refuge\, staying put\, creating spaces and participating in counter-cultures\, squats are political acts. They sit in direct opposition to the speculation\, gentrification and regeneration that controls London today. \n\n\n\nFrom wasted office blocks transformed into a life-saving homeless shelter\, to temporary art exhibitions and raves; from an empty doctor’s surgery\, to a library closed by cuts; from mutual aid networks set up during the pandemic\, to restaurants\, shops\, offices and pubs – Squatting London is an alternative\, underground and rebellious ethnographic account of a city you thought you already knew. \n\n\n\nSamuel Burgum is an urban sociologist\, currently conducting a Leverhulme-sponsored ethnographic project on squatting in the context of the UK’s housing crisis. He is the author of Occupying London: Post-Crash Resistance and the Limits of Possibility. He has written for various journals\, including Antipode\, The Sociological Review and Journal for Cultural Research. \n\n\n\nAs always\, tickets are priced on a sliding scale.
