Half the World Half a Chance
What is gender, and why is it a development issue? How can development projects and programmes take gender-related issues into account? This book explains how and why women are disadvantaged, not only by social and economic structures but also by many current development initiatives.
Theology and Social Theory
This is a revised edition of John Milbank’s masterpiece, which sketches the outline of a specifically theological social theory. The Times Higher Education Supplement wrote of the first edition that it was “a tour de force of systematic theology. It would be churlish not to acknowledge its provocation and brilliance”. Featured in The Church Times “100 Best Christian Books" Brings this classic work up-to-date by reviewing the development of modern social thought. Features a substantial new introduction by Milbank, clarifying the theoretical basis for his work. Challenges the notion that sociological critiques of theology are ‘scientific’. Outlines a specifically theological social theory, and in doing so, engages with a wide range of thinkers from Plato to Deleuze. Written by one of the world’s most influential contemporary theologians and the author of numerous books.
Post-Tsunami Reconstruction in Indonesia
This book offers a critical analysis of gender mainstreaming initiatives in the post-tsunami context in Indonesia. Aiming to challenge the terms of the debate in gender mainstreaming and disaster reconstruction efforts, Jauhola offers an important contribution for the discussion of what ‘feminisms and disasters’ could be. The work provides an in-depth analysis of three governmental practices of gender mainstreaming: the use of the concept pair sex/gender; the use of gender analysis and the use of project management tools and local subversion that challenges the potential normative violence of gender mainstreaming. Providing feminist intersectional reading of gender mainstreaming the book...
Ulla von Brandenburg (édition française)
Nourrie de littérature, d’histoire des arts et de l’architecture, mais aussi de psychanalyse, de spiritisme et de magie, Ulla von Brandenburg emprunte aussi bien aux codes et aux mécanismes du théâtre qu’aux rituels ésotériques et aux cérémonies populaires afin d’explorer la construction de nos structures sociales. Pour son exposition au Palais de Tokyo, elle a imaginé un projet total et évolutif, inspiré du théâtre, de son imaginaire et de ses conventions. Autour de la notion de rituel, l’artiste invite le public à prendre part à une expérience immersive et renouvelée des thèmes, des formes et des motifs qui irriguent son oeuvre : le mouvement, la scène, la couleur, la musique, le textile... Livre publié à l’occasion de l’exposition personnelle d’Ulla von Brandenburg au Palais de Tokyo, 21.02 – 13.09.2020

Second World, Second Sex
Women from the state socialist countries in Eastern Europe—what used to be called the Second World—once dominated women’s activism at the United Nations, but their contributions have been largely forgotten or deemed insignificant in comparison with those of Western feminists. In Second World, Second Sex Kristen Ghodsee rescues some of this lost history by tracing the activism of Eastern European and African women during the 1975 United Nations International Year of Women and the subsequent Decade for Women (1976-1985). Focusing on case studies of state socialist Bulgaria and nonaligned but socialist-leaning Zambia, Ghodsee examines the feminist networks that developed between the Second and Third Worlds and shows how alliances between socialist women challenged American women’s leadership of the global women’s movement. Drawing on interviews and archival research across three continents, Ghodsee argues that international ideological competition between capitalism and socialism profoundly shaped the world women inhabit today.
Theology After Wittgenstein
"Intended primarily to introduce Wittgenstein to students of theology, but aimed also at philosophers interested in religion, the book focuses on those of Wittgenstein's writings (primarily in the Philosophical investigations) that relate to theological issues such as the inner life, the immortality of the soul and the relationship of the believer to church and tradtion. By taking up the main points raised by reviewers of the first edition, the author responds in his new material to a wide range of recent literature and other interpretations of Wittengenstein's -- often seemingly ambiguous -- religious positions, and in so doing paints an absorbing picture, for a fresh set of readers, of how theology might look 'after Wittgenstein'."--Last page of cover.
