A Stage for Debate
A Stage for Debate presents a detailed analysis of the repertoire of the leading German-language stage of the nineteenth century, Vienna’s Burgtheater. The book explores the extent to which the Burgtheater repertoire contributed to important political and cultural debates on individual liberty, the role of women in society, and the understanding of national and regional identity. The relevance of the Burgtheater as a forum for political debate is assessed not by the degree to which the performed plays transgressed established norms, but by the range of positions that were voiced on a given topic. Martin Wagner investigates the roughly 1,000 plays from across Europe that were introduced to the Burgtheater’s repertoire between 1814 and 1867 by combining a general overview with detailed interpretations of especially successful plays. Wagner reveals that the Burgtheater was significantly more involved in contemporary debates than the stereotype of this stage as an artistically refined but apolitical institution suggests. Drawing from theatre studies and German and Austrian studies more broadly, A Stage for Debate revises the history of one of Europe’s leading theatres.

Nachhaltigkeit und Ernährung
Wie Lebensmittel produziert und vermarktet werden, was und wie Menschen essen, hat vielfältige Auswirkungen auf Umwelt, Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft. Nachhaltige Entwicklung mit den Zielen Umweltverträglichkeit, soziale Gerechtigkeit und ökonomische Stabilität ist in den letzten Jahrzehnten zu einem Leitbild zukünftiger Gesellschafts- und Wirtschaftsgestaltung geworden. Die Autorinnen und Autoren des Bandes übertragen die Idee der Nachhaltigkeit auf das Ernährungssystem und erläutern, wie Produktion, Vermarktung und Konsum von Lebensmitteln nachhaltiger werden können.
Alles Katastrophe!
Images that leave an after-impression on the retina. Memories. No depictions. No templates. No real spaces. Remnants of impressions deposited in the memory – in his, in society's. Situations, images, texts, encounters comprehended emotively. They pile up, forming a slag heap in his mind. That these images are informed by personal experience is clear. The landscapes that he mounts on stage are familiar to him, so too the malign sprites that inhabit them. He puts himself into all his sets. And with each of his spaces he demands dialogue, forces an encounter with them. For 40 years, the multiple award-winning sets by Austria's Martin Zehetgruber have been a major presence in the European theatre scene. This book traces his career and brings together impressions by artistic collaborators in a range of disciplines. With contributions from Barbara Frey, Judith Gerstenberg, Heide Kastler, Christoph Klimke, Alexander Koppelmann, Martin Kušej, Georg Nigl, Nicholas Ofczarek, Andreas Schlager, Elisabeth Schweeger and Klaus von Schwerin

Tasting Cultures: Thoughts for Food
This volume was first published by Inter-Disciplinary Press in 2015. A myriad of fresh possibilities is offered when researching in food studies. Just like any other area of knowledge, researchers here breathe the present because they have already absorbed the past and can easily try to devise the future. As the question of authenticity and adaptability rises urgently, we gain knowledge of the specificities where cultural heritage faces assimilation from other lifestyles, in an effort to save and reshape the community and its cultural identity. Food researchers have also struggled with the constructions and measuring of tastes within diverse communities by comparison to other references, even though it has become harder to discern matters from expert advice and controlled mediation. Therefore, we invariably come across the power of representations, in deep association with culture and the society that produces them, for there are increasingly complex food systems bearing diverse layers of meaning.

Who Decides?
How is the meaning of food created, communicated, and continually transformed? How are food practices defined, shaped, delineated, constructed, modified, resisted, and reinvented – by whom and for whom? These are but a few of the questions Who Decides? Competing Narratives in Constructing Tastes, Consumption and Choice explores. Part I (Taste, Authenticity & Identity) explicitly centres on the connection between food and identity construction. Part II (Food Discourses) focuses on how food-related language shapes perceptions that in turn construct particular behaviours that in turn demonstrate underlying value systems. Thus, as a collection, this volume explores how tastes are shaped, forme...
An Integrated Modelling Approach to Design Cost-Effective AES for Agricultural Soil Erosion and Water Pollution
Agri-environment schemes (AES) is frequently adopted for tricky environmental issues. One key concern for AES design is to optimize the cost-effectiveness. For issues of cost-effective prevention of agricultural soil erosion and non-point source water pollution, although models that assess both environmental effects and economic costs of land use measures have been developed, they typically adopt a planning perspective instead of designing AES with the role of farmers being considered. This book presents a spatially explicit novel integrated modelling approach that addresses the shortcoming by combining several components. The relevance of the modelling approach is demonstrated in this book by applying it to the Baishahe watershed in Shanxi province in China. The results show that the modelling approach is robust to design cost-effective AES, i.e. under given budget the maximum environmental effect in the study region could be attained with a set of designed payments for measures in AES. The developed modelling approach is generic and powerful for application in all kinds of agricultural watersheds with various sizes.
