Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Iterations of Astaroth examines how love, conflict, and fertility continue to shape households, institutions, and civic life, and why their costs are often displaced onto those least able to carry them. Using Astaroth - the remnant of an ancient figure once embodying all three domains - as a… diagnostic metaphor, the essays explore how modern systems record, regulate, and erase experiences of intimacy, quarrel, and reproduction.Drawing on literature, philosophy, sociology and lived practice, the book investigates apology, refusal, sanctuaries, grief and the economics of creation and loss. It asks what happens when promises are treated as permanent licences rather than renewable commitments, when sanctuaries bless fertility but deny mourning and when apologies are offered without structural change.This work focuses on offering design principles for survivable life: records that remain accessible, vows that preserve refusal, care treated as craft and sanctuaries that shoulder cost instead of pushing it back onto households. The result is both a critical study and a set of practical frameworks. It speaks to readers across disciplines who recognise that every promise carries price, and that the measure of justice lies in who pays it. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
