Beyond Decent Work
Beyond Decent Work explores the history of the Indonesian labor movement, using three contemporary case studies to shed light on the development of Indonesia's labor struggles and trade union strategies. Drawing on extensive and recent qualitative fieldwork, Felix Hauf argues that the economic idea of "decent work" plays a central role in current trade union strategies at the expense of more radical--or traditional working-class--strategies of industrial action, even though the latter have been more effective in fulfilling workers' demands for higher wages and better working conditions. Hauf's analysis offers unique insight into the labor dynamics of Indonesia and Southeast Asia more broadly, revealing how genuinely democratic and independent unions--confronted with rival unions controlled by businesses, Indonesian subcontractors, multinational corporations, and the Indonesian state--struggle to create an economy outside the confines of neoliberal capitalism.

Art and Sustainability
What is the cultural dimension of sustainability? This book offers a thought-provoking answer, with a theoretical synthesis on »cultures of sustainability«. Describing how modernity degenerated into a culture of unsustainability, to which the arts are contributing, Sacha Kagan engages us in a fundamental rethinking of our ways of knowing and seeing the world. We must learn not to be afraid of complexity, and to re-awaken a sensibility to patterns that connect. With an overview of ecological art over the past 40 years, and a discussion of art and social change, the book assesses the potential role of art in a much needed transformation process.

Das Hausmädchen in der Literatur: Lucia Puenzos „El Niño Pez“ und Sergio Bizzios „Rabia“. Eine literarische Analyse
Die hier vorliegende Arbeit widmet sich einer detaillierten Analyse der Motivik der Hausmädchen-Figur in (vornehmlich) lateinamerikanischer Literatur, wobei ein besonderes Augenmerk auf den beiden Werken „Rabia“ von Sergio Bizzio und „El Niño Pez“ von Lucía Puenzo liegt. Es werden hier die Darstellungsweise der jeweiligen Protagonistinnen, der Dienstmädchen Guayi (El Niño Pez) und Rosa (Rabia), sowie die Relationen der beiden zu ihren jeweiligen Dienstherren analysiert und mit den realen Bedingungen und Lebensumstände vieler Hausmädchen der heutigen Zeit verglichen, wobei besonders auf die politische Lage der Selben eingegangen wird. Zudem werden auch Vergleiche mit weiteren bekannten Hausmädchen-Figuren der Literatur gezogen und der viel umstrittene Aspekt der „erotischen Romanheldin“ diskutiert.
