Platformization and Informality : Pathways of Change, Alteration, and Transformation
In this edited volume, scholars from Mumbai, Bengaluru, Jakarta, Cape Town, Sao Paulo and other cities of the global South explore the complex relationship between platformization and informality through a different lens.Drawing on extensive theoretical, quantitative and qualitative scholarship, they provide both a useful overview and insights into the lived realities of gig work for platforms covering a range of skills, working conditions, and forms of algorithmic management.Platform work has attracted considerable attention from scholars in the global North, who have tended to view it as a form of casualisation of work that was previously regulated.But what about the global South, where most employment, especially that of women and migrant workers was historically already informal?Beyond a focus on livelihoods, employment, and work, the authors show how labour platforms take on powers that bring about broader impacts, including those affecting identity and personal wellbeing.They also illustrate the impact of platformization on the governance of affected sectors by public agencies, thus affecting political power, and how public data infrastructures contribute to further platformization.The purpose of this pioneering work is to lay bare these interactions to then rebuild our understanding of platformization and its social, political, cultural and economic impacts.Its insights are attentive to gender and ethnic differences, as well as geographical ones.

Praxis and Revolution : A Theory of Social Transformation
The concept of revolution marks the ultimate horizon of modern politics.It is instantiated by sites of both hope and horror.Within progressive thought, “revolution” often perpetuates entrenched philosophical problems: a teleological philosophy of history, economic reductionism, and normative paternalism.At a time of resurgent uprisings, how can revolution be reconceptualized to grasp the dynamics of social transformation and disentangle revolutionary practice from authoritarian usurpation?Eva von Redecker reconsiders critical theory’s understanding of radical change in order to offer a bold new account of how revolution occurs.She argues that revolutions are not singular events but extended processes: beginning from the interstices of society, they succeed by gradually rearticulating social structures toward a new paradigm.Developing a theoretical account of social transformation, Praxis and Revolution incorporates a wide range of insights, from the Frankfurt School to queer theory and intersectionality.Its revised materialism furnishes prefigurative politics with their social conditions and performative critique with its collective force. Von Redecker revisits the French Revolution to show how change arises from struggle in everyday social practice.She illustrates the argument through rich literary examples—a ménage à trois inside a prison, a radical knitting circle, a queer affinity group, and petitioners pleading with the executioner—that forge a feminist, open-ended model of revolution. Praxis and Revolution urges readers not only to understand revolutions differently but also to situate them elsewhere: in collective contexts that aim to storm manifold Bastilles—but from within.

What is the difference between transformation and change?
Transformation refers to a fundamental and profound shift in the nature or form of something, often resulting in a complete redefinition or reconfiguration. Change, on the other hand, can refer to any alteration or modification in something, whether it is minor or significant. While change can be incremental and may not necessarily lead to a complete overhaul, transformation involves a more radical and comprehensive shift in the essence or structure of something. In essence, transformation implies a more profound and far-reaching impact compared to change.

What is the difference between a revolution against a revolution and a peaceful revolution?
A revolution against a revolution refers to a situation where a new uprising or movement aims to overthrow the existing revolutionary government or system. This can lead to further instability and conflict within a society. On the other hand, a peaceful revolution involves bringing about significant social or political change through nonviolent means such as protests, civil disobedience, and advocacy. Peaceful revolutions prioritize dialogue, negotiation, and reconciliation to achieve their goals without resorting to violence or armed conflict.

What were the causes and effects of the English Revolution and the Glorious Revolution?
The English Revolution, also known as the English Civil War, was caused by a power struggle between the monarchy and Parliament, as well as religious and economic tensions. The effects of the English Revolution included the execution of King Charles I, the establishment of a short-lived republic under Oliver Cromwell, and the eventual restoration of the monarchy under Charles II. The Glorious Revolution was caused by the fear of Catholic rule under King James II and his attempts to centralize power. The effects of the Glorious Revolution included the overthrow of James II, the establishment of a constitutional monarchy with William and Mary as joint rulers, and the passage of the Bill of Rights, which limited the powers of the monarchy and affirmed the rights of Parliament. These revolutions ultimately led to the development of a more democratic and constitutional form of government in England.

Renewal : From Crisis to Transformation in Our Lives, Work, and Politics
From the acclaimed author of Unfinished Business, a story of crisis and change that can help us find renewed honesty and purpose in our personal and political livesLike much of the world, America is deeply divided over identity, equality, and history.Renewal is Anne-Marie Slaughter’s candid and deeply personal account of how her own odyssey opened the door to an important new understanding of how we as individuals, organizations, and nations can move backward and forward at the same time, facing the past and embracing a new future. Weaving together personal stories and reflections with insights from the latest research in the social sciences, Slaughter recounts a difficult time of self-examination and growth in the wake of a crisis that changed the way she lives, leads, and learns.She connects her experience to our national crisis of identity and values as the country looks into a four-hundred-year-old mirror and tries to confront and accept its full reflection.The promise of the Declaration of Independence has been hollow for so many for so long.That reckoning is the necessary first step toward renewal.The lessons here are not just for America. Slaughter shows how renewal is possible for anyone who is willing to see themselves with new eyes and embrace radical honesty, risk, resilience, interdependence, grace, and vision. Part personal journey, part manifesto, Renewal offers hope tempered by honesty and is essential reading for citizens, leaders, and the change makers of tomorrow.

Is this transformation realistic and natural?
Yes, this transformation is realistic and natural. The process of a caterpillar transforming into a butterfly through metamorphosis is a well-documented and scientifically proven phenomenon in nature. It involves distinct stages of development, including the formation of a chrysalis and the complete restructuring of the caterpillar's body into a butterfly. This transformation is a fundamental part of the life cycle of many insect species and is essential for their survival and reproduction.

What is the difference between similarity transformation and affine transformation in geometry?
In geometry, a similarity transformation preserves the shape of a figure while changing its size. This transformation involves scaling, rotating, and reflecting the figure. On the other hand, an affine transformation includes not only scaling, rotating, and reflecting, but also translations. Affine transformations preserve parallel lines and ratios of distances between points, but they do not necessarily preserve angles or shapes.

What is the difference between the Laplace transformation and the z-transformation?
The Laplace transformation is used to analyze continuous-time signals and systems, while the z-transformation is used for discrete-time signals and systems. The Laplace transformation is defined for functions of time that are defined for t ≥ 0, while the z-transformation is defined for sequences of values that are defined for n = 0, 1, 2, .... The Laplace transformation is typically used in control systems and circuit analysis, while the z-transformation is commonly used in digital signal processing and discrete-time control systems.

How does the domain change after a transformation?
The domain of a function represents the set of all possible input values. When a transformation is applied to a function, such as a shift, reflection, or dilation, the domain may change depending on the nature of the transformation. For example, a horizontal shift will not change the domain, but a vertical shift or reflection will. Similarly, a dilation may stretch or compress the function, affecting the domain. It is important to consider how the transformation affects the domain when analyzing the behavior of a function.
