Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -In Europe, the far right is gaining momentum on the streets and in parliaments. By taking a close look at contemporary practices and strategies of far-right actors, the present volume explores this right-ward shift of European publics and politics. It assembles analyses of changing mobilization patterns and their effects on the local, national and transnational level. International experts, among them Tamir Bar-On, Liz Fekete, Matthew Kott, and Graham Macklin, scrutinize new forms of coalition building, mainstreaming and transnationalization tendencies as aspects of diversified far-right politics in Europe.transcript Verlag, Hermannstraße 26, 33602 Bielefeld 208 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This annual report is a call to action to recognize the things that are having an impact on the internet today, and to embrace the notion that we as humans can change how we make money, govern societies, and interact with one another online. We invite you to participate in setting an agenda for how we can work together to create an internet that truly puts people first. This book is neither a country-level index nor a doomsday clock. Our intention is to show that while the worldwide consequences of getting things wrong with the internet could be huge - for peace and security, for political and individual freedoms, for human equality - the problems are never so great that nothing can be done. More people than you imagine are working to make the internet healthier by applying their skills, creativity, and personal bravery to business, technology, activism, policy and regulation, education, and community development.transcript Verlag, Hermannstraße 26, 33602 Bielefeld 118 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Many claim that political deliberation has become exceedingly affective, and hence, destabilizing. The authors of this book revisit that assumption. While recognizing that significant changes are occurring, these authors also point out the limitations of turning to contemporary democratic theory to understand and unpack these shifts. They propose, instead, to reframe this debate by deploying the analytic framework of affective societies, which highlights how affect and emotion are present in all aspects of the social. What changes over time and place are the modes and calibrations of affective and emotional registers. With this line of thinking, the authors are able to gesture towards a new outline of the political.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -In what way is 'care' a matter of 'tinkering' Rather than presenting care as a (preferably 'warm') relation between human beings, the various contributions to the volume give the material world (usually cast as 'cold') a prominent place in their analysis. Thus, this book does not continue to oppose care and technology, but contributes to rethinking both in such a way that they can be analysed together.transcript Verlag, Hermannstraße 26, 33602 Bielefeld 326 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In what way is »care« a matter of »tinkering« Rather than presenting care as a (preferably »warm«) relation between human beings, the various contributions to the volume give the material world (usually cast as »cold«) a prominent place in their analysis. Thus, this book does not continue to oppose care and technology, but contributes to rethinking both in such a way that they can be analysed together.Technology is not cast as a functional tool, easy to control - it is shifting, changing, surprising and adaptable. In care practices all »things« are (and have to be) tinkered with persistently. Knowledge is fluid, too. Rather than a set of general rules, the knowledges (in the plural) relevant to care practices are as adaptable and in need of adaptation as the technologies, the bodies, the people, and the daily lives involved.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -After the Arab Revolutions in 2011, Tunisia became a symbol of freedom and justice and thus the hope of an entire region. Now, the picture has been reversed: Political freedoms are being curtailed and the economy is in disarray, especially after the pandemic and the war in Ukraine. In the face of expanding inequality, resentment and attacks against ¿Others¿ fall on fertile ground. More than ever, mobility becomes contested - shaping spatial movements, social positions and discourses of the self - while young people, in particular, desire to leave the country. The contributors to this volume investigate the meaning of capabilities and aspirations to comprehend the histories of their erosion, but also to reveal alternative ways of imagining futures.transcript Verlag, Hermannstraße 26, 33602 Bielefeld 306 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -While there has been renewed interest in Marx recently, we cannot simply apply his more than 170-year-old texts to today's world. Across the disciplinary boundaries of philosophy, sociology, literary and cultural studies, this volume reworks Marxist critique for the twenty-first century. Capitalism, after all, has not only taken on new shapes, but, in the age of climate and care crisis, police violence, mass incarceration and global migration, it has also found new ways of exploiting and fragmenting the global workforce. The book's key contribution is to link the embodied experiences of those fragmented workers - Marx's Black, feminist, trans and queer 'others' - with the pressing challenge of creating and mobilizing a political subject under the current iteration of capitalism.transcript Verlag, Hermannstraße 26, 33602 Bielefeld 120 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -How can political theory strengthen democracy and emancipatory social change while remaining critical of its own norms and foundations How can it confront populist movements that claim to defend democracy but in fact advance authoritarian agendas Oliver Flügel-Martinsen engages with key thinkers of the political- among them M. Foucault, J. Derrida, C. Lefort, C. Mouffe, I. M. Young, J. Rancière, W. Brown, R. Geuss, A. Mbembe, and J. Butler - to address these challenges. Revisiting truth-skeptical approaches, neoliberal hegemony, exclusions in the name of an essentialist understanding of the people, and global injustices, he explores how critical theory can help us escape the present in working toward a different future.transcript Verlag, Hermannstraße 26, 33602 Bielefeld 126 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -How do historical sources narrate or recount deviance Is there a relationship between the manner in which divergent behaviour is recounted and the type of source in which this behaviour is presented The articles present examples of the recounting of deviance by using, amongst others, sources such as chronicles, travel accounts and court records from 15th century England, 15th/16th century Germany, 17th century Spain, 17th/18th century Venice and 17th/18th century Italy and France. It can be asserted that different types of narrative patterns to recount deviance occur intermingled in the cases discussed.transcript Verlag, Hermannstraße 26, 33602 Bielefeld 208 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Digital technology permeates the physical world. Social media and virtual reality, accessed via internet capable devices - computers, smartphones, tablets and wearables - affect nearly all aspects of social life. The contributions to this volume apply innovative forms of ethnographic research to the digital realm. They examine the emergence of new forms of digital life, such as political participation through comments on East Greenlandic news blogs, the personal use of video broadcasting applications, the rise of transnational migrant networks facilitated by social media, or the effects of Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram on global conflicts.transcript Verlag, Hermannstraße 26, 33602 Bielefeld 268 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Digital technologies are widely considered as drivers of innovation and solution for small and grand challenges alike. In this context 'the digital' appears to be problematic only because there is still too little of it: too little digital services in public administration, too little digital learning and teaching etc.Consequently, policy makers, technologists, and businesspeople alike frequently call for more digitization. The capacity to accumulate, analyze and utilize data is seen as a key factor for leveraging the potentials of digital innovation. Once data was claimed to be without material limits, a 'capitalist-colonialist fantasy' became the metaphor naturalizing the next digital revolution.transcript Verlag, Hermannstraße 26, 33602 Bielefeld 230 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The history of sexuality, family planning, and reproduction in Central and Eastern Europe sounds out the historical dimensions across a broad field where human biology, medicine, policy, and government social programmes intersect with fundamental conceptions of desired or feared social developments. From contraception to representations of motherhood, and controversies over reproductive rights, using the example of the historically changing political, social, cultural and scientific interconnections in Central and Eastern Europe, the contributors to this volume invite reflections on historical developments that open new perspectives for the 21st century.transcript Verlag, Hermannstraße 26, 33602 Bielefeld 200 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Since the full-scale Russian attack on Ukraine on February 24, 2022, warfare on social media and online platforms has introduced a new way of mediatizing war. A constant war-related newsfeed on social media and online platforms has emerged. Against this background the war in Ukraine represents a »fractal war - where you choose to subscribe to your own tailored version of warfare in your feed. This makes it the most personalized war in history« (Andrew Hoskins). This special issue investigates smartphone use, online media, platform politics, and the impact of the crowdsourced war. New forms of digital participation, collective witnessing and web archiving by media users and media providers are linked with new methodological and empirical challenges for source analysis of digital forensics, jurisdiction, and collective memory. The contributors analyze digital society and its relationship to war, violence, genocide, witnessing practices, and cultural appropriation in a critical and reflective manner.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - With the proliferation of smart devices such as smartphones, smart watches, and smart speakers as well as the ongoing push toward smart cities, humans, technologies, and environments have become entangled in increasingly complex yet seemingly frictionless infrastructures of datafication and computation. A seemingly frictionless user experience, however, conceals the contradictions, power asymmetries, and polarisations that shape our digital cultures. This issue of Digital Culture & Society takes the notion of frictions as a starting point for a situated analysis of our digital present. Frictions are sites where criticism is sparked, value conflicts are negotiated, and design alternatives are explored. By bringing together research from media studies, science and technology studies (STS), and sociology, this issue begins to synthesise and systematise the structural inconsistencies that frictions expose.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Gerrit Haas re-theorises the peculiar textual conduct of ficto/critical writing, which inextricably intersects fictional with critical discourses as well as aesthetics with poetics and ethics. The slash here signals the conjunction between a self-reflexive ficto-critical insight and a wider discursive ficto-critical motivation. In its refined form, this twofold trope shifts perspective from the prevalent generic between onto the meta-generic level of our textual practices. Ultimately, the ficto/critical is thus qualified as an unheard-of interventionist aesthetic of deconstruction directed at the ramifications of our textual cultures.transcript Verlag, Hermannstraße 26, 33602 Bielefeld 190 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The cultural fascination with ruins is nothing new. Architects, poets and commentators like Rose Macaulay (1953), Christopher Woodward (2002) and Robert Ginsberg (2004) have extensively and critically investigated the significations of ruins in Western culture. In our lived environments, our media landscapes, and our social media feeds, we are surrounded by ruination: the ruins of war, ecological disaster, post-industrial decline, austerity, social collapse, and infrastructural decline. This issue of Digital Culture & Society addresses the complex thematic field of ruination and decay in contemporary culture.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Gender- and sex-related norms have an impact on us from the first to the last day of our lives. What are the effects of such norms on the education of children and adolescents Conveyed via parents/family, school, and peers, they seem to be an inseparable part of human relations. After its favorable reception in German-speaking countries from 2014 onwards, this title is now available in English. The texts show that the traditional assumption of a dualistic, bipolar normativity of sex and gender leads to children being taught gender-typical behavior. The contributions in this volume explore the reasons for these practices and open the debate on the divergence between the prevailing norms and the plurality of different life plans. In addition, the book helps to disengage the topic of sex and gender from a hitherto narrowly circumscribed context of sexual orientation. The contributions point the way towards a culture of respect and mutual acceptance and show new methodological as well as theoretical approaches, e.g. by introducing the figure of the continuum, so that, in future research projects, more than just the two sexes and genders of female and male might be considered as a new normality.transcript Verlag, Hermannstraße 26, 33602 Bielefeld 370 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -From self-help books and nootropics, to self-tracking and home health tests, to the tinkering with technology and biological particles - biohacking brings biology, medicine, and the material foundation of life into the sphere of 'do-it-yourself'. This trend has the potential to fundamentally change people's relationship with their bodies and biology but it also creates new cultural narratives of responsibility, authority, and differentiation. Covering a broad range of examples, this book explores practices and representations of biohacking in popular culture, discussing their ambiguous position between empowerment and requirement, promise and prescription.transcript Verlag, Hermannstraße 26, 33602 Bielefeld 314 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Who, or what, is the contemporary climatic subject Addressing the climate crisis in thought, imagination, and in action requires a connection between scholars, artists, journalists, and activists. The contributors to this volume put such a cooperation into practice and present not only academic articles, but also interviews, short stories, poems, and political essays. Readers will encounter the ¿climatic subject¿ as an entity and as a historical force. But they will also hear the ¿climatic subject¿ posed as a question, a displacement of subjectivation under the condition of the climate crisis. Finally, they will find the ¿climatic subject¿ as a connector for new subjectivities yet to be embodied in cultural practice.transcript Verlag, Hermannstraße 26, 33602 Bielefeld 270 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The archipelago of Venice is often at the centre of socio-ecological discussions due to its uniqueness and ambiguity. It is a world cultural heritage site and, at the same time, a fragile ecosystem, strongly threatened by the climate crisis and overtourism. This volumebrings together scholars, artists, museum professionals and curators toshow how Venice is a special observatory for addressing the challenges of the future and how the arts can contribute to an ecological transition and cultural regeneration.transcript Verlag, Hermannstraße 26, 33602 Bielefeld Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -The multidisciplinary anthology Religious Fundamentalism in the Age of Pandemic provides deep insights concerning the current impact of Covid-19 on various religious groups and believers around the world. Based on contributions of well-known scholars in the field of Religious Fundamentalism, the contributors offer about a window into the origins of religious fundamentalism and the development of these movements as well as the creation of the category itself. Further recommendations regarding specific (fundamentalist) religious groups and actors and their possible development within Buddhism, Christianity, Islam and Judaism round up the discussion about the rise of Religious Fundamentalism in the Age of Pandemic.transcript Verlag, Hermannstraße 26, 33602 Bielefeld 278 pp. Englisch.
