Cooking Sections
Offsetted widmet sich der Frage nach der Wertschöpfung von Natur. Das Buch des Künstlerduos Cooking Sections enthüllt Formen der Enteignung, die sich durch den Schutz – und nicht nur ihre Zerstörung – der natürlichen Umwelt aktuell verstärkt ereignen. Durch eine Reihe von künstlerischen und architektonischen Interventionen knüpft Offsetted an die weltweiten Kämpfe für Klimagerechtigkeit an und stellt den Neoliberalismus als Retter seiner eigenen ökologischen Widersprüche in Frage. So beleuchtet das Projekt beispielsweise Naturschutzmodelle, die auf »natürlichem Kapital« basieren, und schlägt neue räumliche Strategien zur De-Finanzierung der Umwelt vor. Neben einer Fotodokumentation und künstlerischen Arbeiten von Cooking Sections versammelt das Buch zahlreiche Beiträge interdisziplinär tätiger Kunstschaffenden und Forschenden.

Transforming Universities in the Midst of Global Crisis
This book calls into question the colonial and neoliberal university, presenting alternative models of higher education that can more effectively respond to today’s intersecting social, economic, environmental and political crises. The authors argue that universities should be driven by a different set of core values – one that promotes the common good over private or commercial interests, individualism and market fundamentalism. Presenting a broad range of educational initiatives from around the world that reflect life-affirming regenerative and relational practices, Indigenous intellectual sovereignty, and principles of social and ecological justice, the authors contend that pathways t...

Uganda
For the last three decades, Uganda has been one of the fastest growing economies in Africa. Globally praised as an African success story and heavily backed by international financial institutions, development agencies and bilateral donors, the country has become an exemplar of economic and political reform for those who espouse a neoliberal model of development. The neoliberal policies and the resulting restructuring of the country have been accompanied by narratives of progress, prosperity, and modernisation and justified in the name of development. But this self-celebratory narrative, which is critiqued by many in Uganda, masks the disruptive social impact of these reforms and silences the...
The Church in the World
Historically, studies of the church in Africa have tended to focus on church history or church-state relations, but in this publication David Zac Niringiye presents a study of the Church of Uganda focused on its ecclesiology. Niringiye examines several formative periods for the Church of Uganda during concurrent chronological political eras characterized by varying degrees of socio-political turbulence, highlighting how the social context impacted the church’s self-expression. The author’s methodology and insight sets this work apart as an excellent reflection on the Ugandan church and brings scholarly attention to previously ignored topics that hold great value to society, the church, and the academic community globally.
Small Cinemas in Global Markets
Small Cinemas in Global Markets addresses aspects such as identity, revisiting the past, internationalized genres, new forms of experimental cinema, markets and production, as well as technological developments of alternative small screens that open new perspectives into small cinema possibilities. Small and big markets for small industries reveal an unimagined diversification of the cultural product and consequently the need to analyze the impact at local, regional, and global levels. Much needed to continue and expand the existing scholarship in the field, this volume is based on research by authors who approach their subject from Western theoretical perspectives with a professional (mostl...
