Anthropology of Tourism in Central and Eastern Europe
In Anthropology of Tourism in Central and Eastern Europe: Bridging Worlds, Sabina Owsianowska and Magdalena Banaszkiewicz examine the limitations of the anthropological study of tourism, which stem from both the domination of researchers representing the Anglophone circle as well as the current state of tourism studies in Central and Eastern Europe. This edited collection contributes to the wider discussion of the geopolitics of knowledge through its focus on the anthropological background of tourism studies and its inclusion of contributors from Austria, Bulgaria, Estonia, and Poland.
Informal Market Worlds
Bringing together imaginative architectural approaches with texts by key contemporary thinkers, the two-part Informal Market Worlds explores new ways to interrupt the dominant logics of neoliberal governance. The Reader includes expert essays on urban informality, bottom-up economies and informal architectures as harbingers of social and political change. Offering a global perspective on the conflicted realities of informal marketplaces--from survival activities of the urban poor to transnational clandestine trade networks--these analyses reveal how informality has become a political instrument in the struggles around global market integration.
Eden für jeden?
Dieser Band zeichnet ein Panorama touristischer Sehnsuchtsorte im östlichen Europa und macht die transnationale gesellschaftspolitische Relevanz von Sehnsüchten sichtbar. In den Fokus rücken offizielle und inoffizielle Vorstellungen vom guten Leben, emotionale Bindungen zu Orten, die Gestaltung touristischer Infrastrukturen sowie die Zirkulation von Diskursen und Personen zwischen Ost und West. Die politischen, gesellschaftlichen und wirtschaftlichen Verwerfungen, die die Region historisch und bis heute kennzeichnen, erscheinen in neuem Licht. Anstatt die nach wie vor gängige Defizitgeschichte vom zerrissenen, zurückgebliebenen, grauen Ostblock zu reproduzieren, lässt sich auf diese We...

Hands-on Urbanism 1850-2012
From the onset of industrialization to today's developer-driven global cities, the history of urban transformation processes unfolds as a sequence of critical situations. Gardening and informal settling are indicative of these crises. Taking root from below, these self-organized, self-help practices are dynamic and inspiring agencies of change.
Rape
From Title IX cases on campus, to #metoo and #timesup, rape is a definitive issue at the heart of feminism, and lately, it's barely out of the news. Cultural critic Mithu Sanyal is picking up where Susan Brownmiller left off in her influential 1975 book Against Our Will. In fact, she argues that the way we understand rape hasn't changed since then, even as the world has changed beyond recognition. She contends that it is high time for a new and informed debate about rape, sexual boundaries and consent. Sanyal argues that the way we as a society understand rape tells us not just how we understand sexual violence, but how we understand sex, sexuality, and gender itself. For instance, why is it...
Exploring Complexity in Health: An Interdisciplinary Systems Approach
The field of health is an increasingly complex and technical one; and an area in which a more multidisciplinary approach would undoubtedly be beneficial in many ways.

This joint conference unites the conferences of the German Association for Medical Informatics, Biometry and Epidemiology (GMDS), the German Society for Epidemiology (DGEpi), the International Epidemiological Association - European Region, and the European Federation for Medical Informatics (EFMI).
