Description
The attachments we form shape our experience of the world and our understanding of who we are. Hell is other people, wrote Jean-Paul Sartre, his point being less about misanthropy and more about how entwined our self-perception is with the ways in which others perceive us. And alongside our personal relationships – from filial to friendship, from collegiate to romantic – sit the complex emotional connections we form with places, ideas and objects.
How do we navigate these varying attachments, and what can they offer us when our lives are so mediated by technology? Can we break free of the tropes and traps associated with our most primal relationships: the social expectations of motherhood, the burdens of filial duty, the complexities of infidelity?

Griffith Review 79: Counterfeit Culture
'A faker,' said Orson Welles, 'makes fools of the experts. So, who's the expert? Who's the faker?' Griffith Review 79 lifts the curtain on fakes, frauds and forgeries. Treading the tightrope between art and lies, it explores the appeal of stories, objects, bodies or experiences that offer the false promise of authenticity. How do we discern what's real and what's...Paperback$3500Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 4-6 weeks -
Griffith Review 82: Animal Magic
Whether it's man's best friend or the king of the jungle, animals occupy a central place in our social, emotional, and cultural lives. We're happy as clams or pigs in mud; we hold our horses or take a lion's share of what we want; we avoid the elephant in the room or try not to open a can of worms....Paperback$3500Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 4-6 weeks -

Griffith Review 81: The Leisure Principle
In 1930, John Maynard Keynes spelt out a vision of the impending utopia. Work, he said, will become a thing of the past. 'For the first time since creation,' he predicted, 'man will be faced with his real, his permanent problem - how to occupy the leisure which science...will have won for him.' So where did this vision of future...Paperback$3500Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 4-6 weeks -
Griffith Review 83: Past Perfect
The past, famously, is a foreign country—but in the twenty-first century, it's one in which we increasingly seek solace. No matter the relentless pace of technological innovation and the digitisation of everything from money to media, our appetites for retro design and aesthetics, for cultural products that reimagine technicolour-dream versions of decades gone by, or for fantasies of a past...Paperback$3500Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 4-6 weeks -
Griffith Review 80: Creation Stories
The capacity to tell stories—along with language and the ability to create art—is seen as both intrinsic and unique to the human species. Over thousands of years, we've forged narratives of our origins, our journeys, and our dreams as a means of accounting for who we are and to define our place in the world. In the twenty-first century, as...Paperback$3500Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 4-6 weeks -
Griffith Review 85: Status Anxiety
Like the answer to a riddle, status is all around us, but it can't always be seen or heard. The silent switchboard behind our professional and personal interactions, status dictates our place on the guest list, in the room, at the table; through its connections to class, race and gender, it affords some of us power and wealth and others...Paperback$3299Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 4-6 weeks -
Griffith Review 86: Leaps of Faith
To take a leap of faith is to bet your belief on an unknown future.

Griffith Review 91: On The Money
Money talks but it doesn't always speak the truth. It's also far more than a medium of exchange and a store of value: money is a status symbol, a friendship destroyer, an opportunity creator, a psychological blocker, an obsession, a dream, a curse, an albatross and an elephant in the room. And if money makes the world go round, it's...Paperback$3500Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 4-6 weeks -
Griffith Review 78
Food is more than a matter of taste.
