Routledge International Handbook of Failure<\/strong> *(2023, Adriana Mica, Miko\u0142aj Pawlak, Anna Horolets and Pawe\u0142 Kubicki, eds., Routledge)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This Handbook examines the study of failure in social sciences, its manifestations in the contemporary world, and the modalities of dealing with it \u2013 both in theory and in practice. It draws together a comprehensive approach to failing, and invisible forms of cancelling out and denial of future perspectives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Critics’ reviews<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Unlike most Handbooks in the social sciences, this one is groundbreaking and meets two difficult goals: one is to provide a comprehensive assessment of the emergent field of failure studies, and the second, which is to use the idea of failure to cast new light on many central problems of the social sciences, such as contingency, accountability, and economization. This Handbook is a milestone which will be widely read by researchers in many fields.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arjun Appadurai<\/strong>, Professor Emeritus of Media, Culture, and Communication at New York University, USA<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“In a comprehensive way, the Routledge International Handbook of Failure provides new insights from different perspectives on the important topic of failure. This handbook is of critical importance because it can help scholars and practitioners overcome a pervasive anti-failure bias that restricts our thinking and actions. I highly recommend this book.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dean Shepherd<\/strong>, Ray and Milann Siegfried Professor of Entrepreneurship, University of Notre Dame, USA<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This new book on failure is a welcome addition to this fascinating and important topic. I hope it meets with great success.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gary Wickham<\/strong>, Professor Emeritus of Sociology, Murdoch University, Australia<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This handbook highlights what can only be described as a failure of imagination in the social sciences concerning the concept of failure itself. The Handbook\u2019s essays reframe our understanding of what the discourse of failure reveals and obscures. Far from being a self- evident concept\u2014neutrally applied\u2014the application of the pejorative, “failure,” can too often prevent us from recognizing and seizing meaningful opportunities for advance or experimentation.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
