Shaking Up the City
"Shaking Up the City critically examines many of the concepts and categories within mainstream urban studies that serve dubious policy agendas. Through a combination of abstract theory and concrete empirical evidence, Tom Slater strives to 'shake up' mainstream urban studies in a concise and pointed fashion, turning on its head much of the prevailing wisdom in the field. In doing so, he explores the themes of 'data-driven innovation', urban 'resilience', gentrification, displacement and rent control, 'neighborhood effects', territorial stigmatization, and ethnoracial segregation. Slater analyzes how the mechanisms behind urban inequalities, material deprivation, marginality, and social suffering in cities across the world are perpetuated and made invisible. With important contributions to ongoing debates in sociology, geography, planning, and public policy, and engaging closely with struggles for land rights and housing justice, Shaking Up The City offers numerous insights for scholarship and political action to guard against the spread of vested interest urbanism"--
Taking Sides
Is there an option to oppose without automatically participating in the opposed? This volume explores different perspectives on dissent, understanding practices, cultures, and theories of resistance, dispute, and opposition as inherently participative. It discusses aspects of the body as a political instance, the identity and subjectivity building of individuals and groups, (micro-)practices of dissent, and theories of critique from different disciplinary perspectives. This collection thus touches upon contemporary issues, recent protests and movements, artistic subversion and dissent, online activism as well as historic developments and elemental theories of dissent.
Routledge International Handbook of Diversity Studies
In recent years the concept of ‘diversity’ has gained a leading place in academic thought, business practice and public policy worldwide. Although variously used, ‘diversity’ tends to refer to patterns of social difference in terms of certain key categories. Today the foremost categories shaping discourses and policies of diversity include race, ethnicity, religion, gender, disability, sexuality and age; further important notions include class, language, locality, lifestyle and legal status. The Routledge Handbook of Diversity Studies will examine a range of such concepts along with historical and contemporary cases concerning social and political dynamics surrounding them. With contributions by experts spanning Sociology, Anthropology, Political Science, History and Geography, the Handbook will be a key resource for students, social scientists and professionals. It will represent a landmark volume within a field that has become, and will continue to be, one of the most significant global topics of concern throughout the twenty-first century.
Tätigkeit und Erfüllung
English summary: Modern societies, which are based on labor contracts and employment, are undergoing a period of change. As a result of this, concepts of work and its significance are being redefined. This holds true for Protestantism as well, which since the days of Max Weber has been notorious for its alleged affinity to work ethics. Torsten Meireis studies the processes of change in a work-oriented society and the historical and contemporary theological, philosophical and social debates on vocation and work, and in doing so tries to find a Christian concept of meaningful action. German description: Die Arbeitsgesellschaft befindet sich im Umbruch: Damit verflussigen sich auch im Protestan...
Critical Theory Today. An Old Paradigm for New Challanges?
Come possiamo sviluppare una rinnovata critica del capitalismo attuale, dell’autoritarismo crescente, dell’industria culturale o delle strutture della personalità? Come affrontare domande che erano state affrontate solo marginalmente, come l’oppressione di genere e razza e problemi “nuovi”, come la digitalizzazione, l’intelligenza artificiale o la distruzione dell'ambiente naturale?

In Sippenhaft
Ferdinand Sutterlüty führt mitten in die Probleme des Zusammenlebens unterschiedlicher ethnischer Gruppen in Deutschland. Am Beispiel von zwei ehemaligen Arbeitervierteln zeigt er die vielfältigen Muster »negativer Klassifikationen« auf, mit denen Einheimische und Türkischstämmige ihre wechselseitige Geringschätzung ausdrücken. Beide Seiten sind noch immer von einem sippenhaften Denken durchdrungen. Die türkischen Bewohner stellt dies vor hohe Integrationshürden, da ihnen häufig die Berechtigung zu wirtschaftlicher Teilhabe, politischer Beteiligung und sozialer Zugehörigkeit abgesprochen wird. Erkennbar wird zudem ein seltsames Paradox: Die Migranten, die zu den besten Aspiranten auf Integration zählen, sind bevorzugt Ziel von Stigmatisierung, bedrohen sie doch vermeintlich am stärksten den Status der Einheimischen.
Klangkörperbuch
Peter Zumthor was selected to construct the Swiss Pavilion at the EXPO2000 in Hanover, and to this end, he created an unusual wood structure, the "Soundbodies" of Switzerland. Swiss architecture, music, the written word, fashion design and gastronomy are all drawn together to create a place to discover, to enjoy and to relax in.
