Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - From time immemorial, humans have been making deals, consuming goods, cultivating interests, thereby manifesting specific forms of life. Now, these forms of life solidify automatically by transforming into data. Webfare, a form of digital welfare, seeks to initiate a Copernican revolution that places need instead of merit at the center of society. In 21st-century welfare, consumption and production will be considered as the two faces of the same reality. The possibility to create new value is precisely what sets Webfare apart from traditional welfare: it recognizes the new value created by the Web, and aims to use it for everyone's well-being.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Artists always react to the times in which they live. They may celebrate them or criticize them, often trying to change them. But this is the first time in history that technology controlled by private companies is offering to replace the work of writers, musicians, illustrators and visual artists. What impact will generative AI have on how we create art and how we understand what art is for How will it affect the role of the artist in the future and the conditions under which artists will work Jan Svenungsson tackles these questions, investigating what AI might do for art, and what it might change, circling the core issue of what it is in human art-making that cannot be replaced.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In many countries, the political backlash against neoliberalism has mainly been a retreat from democracy, with a decline in independence of the judiciary and the monetary authorities, increased control of the media, and manipulation of elections for purposes of authoritarian control. The economic dynamics and the impact of neoliberalism, i.e. deregulation and liberalized markets, is just one cause of this authoritarian shift. The contributors to this volume examine the impact of neoliberal economic policies in relation to cultural and political factors and how these have promoted the recent authoritarian turn, as well as probing the economic policies and performance of the illiberal regimes.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Species are going extinct, forests are burning, and children are worried about the future and their peers worldwide. But that is not the whole story: One Friday in 2018, a few young people joined Greta Thunberg to protest, and the global climate strike movement was born. Scientist David Fopp spent 250 Fridays with the newly formed grassroots movements. Together with activists Isabelle Axelsson and Loukina Tille, he offers an insider perspective on how scientists and activists can fight for a just and sustainable global society. The volume also offers both an introduction to ecophilosophy and a unified science of democracy in times of interdependent crises. How can research in all disciplines - from (drama) education and economics to psychology - help with this struggle And how can we all fight the climate crisis by transforming and deepening democracy.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Global mobility is one of the crucial phenomena of our time. Combining the theoretical frameworks of masculinity studies and age studies, the contributors to this volume examine the intersection of cultural exchange, gender and age, exploring ageing masculinities with reference to the key concepts of relationality, kinship and care. The essays analyze transcultural experiences of ageing men from Europe, relationships including the Indian diaspora in the US, Chinese father images in the US-American context and Black British queer kinship, drawing its examples also from Brazilian society and African European contexts.transcript Verlag, Hermannstraße 26, 33602 Bielefeld 244 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -As algorithmic data processing increasingly pervades everyday life, it is also making its way into the worlds of art, literature and music. In doing so, it shifts notions of creativity and evokes non-anthropocentric perspectives on artistic practice. This volume brings together contributions from the fields of cultural studies, literary studies, musicology and sound studies as well as media studies, sociology of technology, and beyond, presenting a truly interdisciplinary, state-of-the-art picture of the transformation of creative practice brought about by various forms of AI.transcript Verlag, Hermannstraße 26, 33602 Bielefeld 292 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Geological phenomena have a strong visual presence in the landscape of the Chilean Andes. Volcanoes, thermal springs, earthquakes and geysers arise from an active geology. From the start of the 20th century, engineers and geologists have imagined transforming the heat of groundwater reservoirs into electricity. However, its use as electric power at a national scale remains an unfinished promise. Inspired by the anthropology of energy and infrastructures, Martín Fonck delves into the promises of geothermal energy and their abandonment in the Chilean Andes.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - What does it take to create innovative tech-savvy designs that are usable, appealing, and good for society The contributions to this volume introduce contemporary research on the digitization and »datafication« of products, exploring topics like user experience, artificial intelligence, and virtual environments in design. Coming from varied backgrounds in product design, interaction design, service design, game design, architecture, and graphic design, they emphasize that digital transformation is not just a technical process, but also a social and learning process that fundamentally changes the way we understand information.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Notwithstanding its ruthless dynamics, the capitalist economy has the flaw of deficient employment-generating spending. This leads to unemployment of non-owners, individual suffering, social unrest and it undermines military strength. To deal with these issues, states use prosthetic policies, artificial transfers to the productive economy and to non-owners. But the funding of such prosthetic policies - through violent wealth appropriation abroad, protectionism, war, domestic expropriation and taxation, debt and money creation - is caught in dilemmas, while politicians are caught between non-solutions. According to Gerhard H. Wächter, the history of capitalist society is largely the history of this dilemmatic brotherhood.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In the EU, the prevailing academic and scientific thought models, as well as communication processes and journalism, are deeply Eurocentric. Martín Oller Alonso critiques these structural issues, focusing on post-communist Central and Eastern Europe's recent EU members. He argues for a decolonization of knowledge and a journalistic-other approach, blending local sensibilities and collective imaginations. Emphasizing deliberative communication, his study offers fresh media and communication theory perspectives, relevant to professionals and researchers in various fields, addressing the challenges and opportunities in the European Union amidst globalization and cultural integration.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The clandestine festival QueerBeograd created spaces of critique and transformation in order to foster a politics of interconnectedness. Ivana Marjanovic explores the festival's transnational activist cabaret between 2006 and 2008, which was devised, directed and produced by Jet Moon, a founding member of the QueerBeograd collective. This pioneering study demonstrates how the process of staging QueerBeograd Cabaret created a shared space between queer, anti-fascism and No Borders politics, contributing to the advancement of the intersectionality perspective beyond identity. The study thus investigates historical genealogies of gender and political difference in the former and post-Yugoslav space, bringing these into relation with global social and art movements.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The specific role of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the later nation of Austria within the formation of regional art histories in East Central Europe has received little attention in art historical research so far. Taking into account the era of the Dual Monarchy as well as the period after 1989, the contributions analyze and critically scrutinize the imperial legacies, transnational transfer processes and cultural hierarchies in art historiographies, artistic practices and institutional histories. Consisting of 17 texts, with new commissions and one reprint, case studies, monographic essays and interviews grouped thematically into two sections, the anthology proposes a pluriversal narrative on regional, cultural and political contexts.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - How are im/mobilities articulated, imagined and practiced in relation to multiple futures A critical examination of im/mobilities raises questions as to how power relations and crisis-driven futures enable, inhibit or prevent mobility, what meanings are culturally constructed around im/mobilities and how they are experienced. The contributors to this volume look at entangled future mobilities and immobilities using humanities and social science approaches in diverse examples: Afrofuturist poetry, de-extinction projects, dystopian novels, a Uruguayan planned relocation program, lives of rural Zambian women, climate adaptation in Morocco and Austrian financial literacy policy.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In the Romantic period, women writers developed specific aesthetics and writing strategies in their engagements with climate change and climate catastrophe. Anya Heise-von der Lippe draws on intersectional feminist and ecocritical approaches to highlight gender as a complicating category in Romantic engagements with these topics. She addresses the ways in which gendered critical framings continue to resonate in current Anthropocene discourses that use Romantic conceptualizations of »Nature«, impacting contemporary approaches to the relationship between humans and non-humans in the ongoing climate catastrophe.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In the early 20th century, Korean women began to manifest themselves in the public sphere. Sung Un Gang explores how the women's gaze was reimagined in public discourse as they attended plays and movies, delving into the complex negotiation process surrounding women's public presence. In this first extensive study of Korean female spectators in the colonial era, he analyzes newspapers, magazines, fictions, and images, arguing that public discourse aimed to mold them into a male-driven and top-down modernization project. Through a meticulous examination of historical sources, this study reconceptualizes colonial Korean female spectators as diverse, active agents with their own politics who played a crucial role in shaping colonial publicness.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - To date, the relationship between Otto Kirchheimer and Carl Schmitt has invariably been described as friendly, despite their political differences. Kirchheimer has even been attributed the role of the godfather of today's left-Schmittianism. With reference to previously unknown archival materials, conversations with personal contacts, and through a new reading of the theoretical works of both authors, including an analysis of the Nazi vocabulary used by Schmitt, Hubertus Buchstein exposes this view as a politically motivated legend. Buchstein claims that the best way to characterize their relationship from their first meeting in Bonn in 1926 up until Kirchheimer's death in 1965 is as enduring enmity - in a political, a theoretical, and even a personal sense.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Das globale Konfliktgeschehen hat sich im vergangenen Jahr weiter verschärft: Der Krieg zwischen Israel und der Hamas in Gaza, die anhaltende Aggression Russlands gegen die Ukraine sowie Militärputsche und dschihadistische Gewalt in Afrika forderten zehntausende Opfer.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Im Kontext der Klimakrise erscheint Sinn nicht mehr als isoliertes Phänomen menschlicher Kultur, sondern eingebettet in das Leben auf der Erde. Daraus ergeben sich neue Fragen an der Schnittstelle von Semiotik, Literatur- sowie Kulturwissenschaft: Welche Rolle spielen Zeichen für unseren Planeten Wie ist die kulturelle Sinnproduktion in das Erdsystem eingebunden Und wie lesen wir Klassiker der Literaturgeschichte im planetaren Kontext als Teil einer Geschichte des Anthropozäns Simon Probst entwirft kulturtheoretische Perspektiven auf Klimaforschung. Er erkundet Literatur im Lichte unseres Planeten und umgekehrt. So entsteht nicht zuletzt eine eindrückliche Darstellung davon, wie Literatur unseren Blick auf die Erde verändert.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Beim Thema Rassismus denkt man hierzulande an jugendliche Gewalttäter oder unverbesserliche Neonazis. Doch die meisten Einwanderer haben mit Extremismus kaum eigene Erfahrungen. Was sie kennen, sind permanente, kleine Erlebnisse, in denen ihnen klar gemacht wird, dass sie keine Deutschen sind und dass sie woanders hingehören. In diesem Buch geben Migranten zweiter Generation Auskunft über diesen ganz banalen Rassismus. Sie erzählen, warum für sie Fragen wie »Woher kommen Sie « oder »Sie sprechen aber gut Deutsch!« nicht nur naive Neugierde oder freundliches Lob bedeuten. Rassismus ist eben der Apparat, der Menschen systematisch zu »Fremden« macht.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg entschied sich Europa für den Liberalismus und wählte dafür eine spezifische Wirtschafts- und Sozialordnung: die Soziale Marktwirtschaft. Mathieu Dubois zeichnet den Einfluss der Bundesrepublik Deutschland und des Ordoliberalismus auf dieses Modell nach. Seine These: Im Gegensatz zum Bild eines 'politischen Zwergs' erwies sich die westdeutsche Europapolitik als entscheidender Vermittler europäischer Kompromisse. Damit leistete die Bundesrepublik einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Liberalisierung des Kontinents und zur Gründung einer Wirtschafts- und Stabilitätsgemeinschaft - aber auch zu einer Währungsunion, die heute durch Zwang funktioniert.transcript Verlag, Hermannstraße 26, 33602 Bielefeld 264 pp. Deutsch.
