Ernährung und Identität
Nahrungsmittel und Ernährungsgewohnheiten sind stets mit Bedeutung aufgeladen. Im Essen verkörpert sich mehr als eine bloß überlebensnotwendige Handlung: Stattdessen sagt die Bewertung von Lebensmitteln und die Art, wie wir sie zu uns nehmen, nicht nur viel über die Gesellschaft, sondern auch über den konsumierenden Menschen selbst aus. Wer wir sind oder wer wir gerne sein würden, zu welcher Gruppe wir uns zugehörig sehen und wen wir daraus ausschließen, all das kann an der Nahrungsaufnahme abgelesen werden. Dieser interdisziplinäre Band versammelt Beiträge aus so unterschiedlichen Disziplinen wie der Musikwissenschaft, der Soziologie, den Gender Studies und verschiedenen Philologien, um die Zusammenhänge von Ernährung und persönlichen sowie kollektiven Identitätskonzepten zu beleuchten.
Der Regionalkrimi
Heutzutage gibt es keine sicheren Orte mehr. Das Verbrechen lauert hinter jedem Mietshaus und jeder Scheune. Gemordet wird in der Nachbarwohnung, vor der Kirchentür, in der Shisha-Bar oder auf dem Kartoffelacker. Gesetzesverstöße haben sich in räumlicher Hinsicht sozusagen emanzipiert, was man auch in dem literarischen Universum des Kriminalromans beobachten kann. Großstädte, die seit jeher als Brutstätten des Bösen galten, bekamen spätestens seit den 1980er Jahren starke Konkurrenz in Form der kriminellen Provinz, die den Metropolen den Rang als Sündenräume schlechthin ablaufen möchte. Denn die Region impliziert bei weitem nicht mehr nur Geborgenheit und Abschottung vor der brut...
Weathering
Weathering is atmospheric, geological, temporal, transformative. It implies exposure to the elements and processes of wearing down, disintegration, or accrued patina. Weathering can also denote the ways in which subjects and objects resist and pass through storms and adversity. This volume contemplates weathering across many fields and disciplines; its contributions examine various surfaces, environments, scales, temporalities, and vulnerabilities. What does it mean to weather or withstand? Who or what is able to pass through safely? What is lost or gained in the process?

The Scandal of Self-contradiction
Pier Paolo Pasolini (1922-1975) was both a writer and filmmaker deeply rooted in European culture, as well as an intellectual who moved between different traditions, identities and positions. Early on he looked to Africa and Asia for possible alternatives to the hegemony of Western Neocapitalism and Consumerism, and in his hands the Greek and Judeo-Christian Classics morphed into unsettling multistable figures constantly shifting between West and East, North and South, the present and the past, rationality and myth, identity and otherness. The contributions in this volume, which belong to different intellectual and disciplinary fields, are bound together by a fascination for Pasolini's ability to recognize contradictions, to intensify and multiply them, as well as to make them aesthetically and politically productive. What emerges is a "euro-eccentric" and multifaceted Pasolini of great interest for the present.

Putting Meat on the American Table
How did meat become such a popular food among Americans? And why did the popularity of some types of meat increase or decrease? Putting Meat on the American Table explains how America became a meat-eating nation - from the colonial period to the present. It examines the relationships between consumer preference and meat processing - looking closely at the production of beef, pork, chicken, and hot dogs. Roger Horowitz argues that a series of new technologies have transformed American meat - sometimes for the worse, sometimes for the better. He draws on detailed consumption surveys that shed new light on America's eating preferences - especially differences associated with income, rural versus urban areas, and race and ethnicity. Engagingly written, richly illustrated, and abundant with first-hand accounts and quotes from period sources, Putting Meat on the American Table will captivate general readers and interest all students of the history of food, technology, business, and American culture.
Enemy's Enemy
A post-Cold War spy story featuring Navy Commander Carl Hamilton, code-name Coq Rouge. As a crucial election in Sweden draws near, security-sensitive personnel are being unaccountably murdered. The question is being asked, is Hamilton the killer, or is he the one man who can find the killer.
Food, Morals and Meaning
First published in 2006. Food, Morals and Meaning examines our need to discipline our desires, our appetites and our pleasures at the table. However, instead of seeing this discipline as dominant or oppressive it argues that a rationalisation of pleasure plays a positive role in our lives, allowing us to better understand who we are. The book begins by exploring the way that concerns about food, the body and pleasure were prefigured in antiquity and then how these concerns were recast in early Christianity as problems of 'natural' appetite which had to be curbed. The following chapters discuss how scientific knowledge about food was constructed out of philosophical and religious concerns abo...
