    Land Grabbing and Home Country Development. Chinese and British Land Acquisitions in Comparative Perspective (2019)
    transcript Verlag
    In:  Political Science
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-07-18
    Description: The role of investor countries remains poorly understood in the contemporary “land grab” debate. This book provides a comparative historical-institutional and politico-economic account of “land grabbing” from a home country perspective. Specifically, the book investigates large-scale land acquisitions from two investor countries: the UK and China. The regional focus is on Sub-Saharan Africa, a major target of such land-consuming investments since 2000. The assessment provides an empirical-analytical account of 40 Chinese and British “land grab” projects that occurred during 2000-2015. It also reviews the specific details of the home country’s industrial set-up, development challenges, ideological framing, political economy, and significant events critical to understanding what is happening. The book advances three arguments: Firstly, it shows that Chinese outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) mentioned in the “land grab” literature reflects the demands of the country’s resource-intensive and market-dependent manufacturing industry, and is part of economic upgrading. In the case of the UK, large-scale land acquisitions occur in response to reforms in the host countries, to international and domestic energy and climate policies, and to reindustrialization efforts. Secondly, the comparative analysis reveals that in spite of their politico-economic differences, both countries share many similarities, such as the multiplicity of agencies, structures, and events involved, the guiding ideology in place, and the institutional framework supporting such OFDI projects. Notably, both countries’ governments consider outward foreign direct investments (of which “land grabs” form a part) as a strategic instrument to pursue particular national development ambitions. These projects allegedly “push the limits” of profitable business and/or social mobility in an increasingly globalized economy, and serve as a tool to “fight the limits” of national development trajectories that cannot provide sufficient (and good) jobs, erode the national resource base, and are strongly vulnerable in their reliance on export markets. Thirdly, the book reviews the main features of late 19th century colonial and imperial practices, to be aware of important factors and dynamics in the evaluation of contemporary land acquisitions.

    Publication Date: 2024-03-25
    Description: This annual report is a call to action to recognize the things that are having an impact on the internet today, and to embrace the notion that we as humans can change how we make money, govern societies, and interact with one another online. We invite you to participate in setting an agenda for how we can work together to create an internet that truly puts people first. This book is neither a country-level index nor a doomsday clock. Our intention is to show that while the worldwide consequences of getting things wrong with the internet could be huge – for peace and security, for political and individual freedoms, for human equality – the problems are never so great that nothing can be done. More people than you imagine are working to make the internet healthier by applying their skills, creativity, and personal bravery to business, technology, activism, policy and regulation, education, and community development.

    Affekt Macht Netz (2019)
    transcript Verlag
    Details
    Publication Date: 2021-12-16
    Description: Shit storms, hate speech or viral videos that promote clicking, linking, sharing: The linked society is driven by affects. The contributions included in this book examine the media-technological developments of our times and explore them from the perspective of a critical affect and social philosophy. They indicate that social media and digital platforms are not only spaces of exchange but also create affect economies – and therein lies their power. By creating new modalities of social interaction and therefore by determining the forms of articulation, they also change the political topography. Including a contribution by Antonio Negri.
    Description: Shitstorms, Hate Speech oder virale Videos, die zum Klicken, Liken, Teilen bewegen: Die vernetzte Gesellschaft ist von Affekten getrieben und bringt selbst ganz neue Affekte hervor. Die Beiträge des Bandes nehmen die medientechnologischen Entwicklungen unserer Zeit in den Blick und untersuchen sie aus der Perspektive einer kritischen Affekt- und Sozialphilosophie. Sie zeigen: Soziale Medien und digitale Plattformen sind nicht nur Räume des Austauschs, sie erschaffen Affektökonomien – und darin liegt auch ihre Macht. Indem sie neue Formen des sozialen Umgangs stiften und bestimmen, wie wir kommunizieren, verschieben sie auch die politische Topographie. Mit einem Beitrag von Antonio Negri.

After a comprehensive introduction, the volume is divided into three parts: The contributions of the first section treat various theoretical and methodological aspects.

    Description: David Labhart analyzes case reviews in multiprofessional groups in the inclusive school in the form of an ethnographic study. Using the actor-network theory, he uses the example of the canton of Zurich to show how the "interdisciplinary team" operates in practice: which tasks are worked on, how are problems located and what knowledge is integrated?

    Publication Date: 2024-03-24
    Description: What happens when body and sound meet? The contributions to this volume track sound movements and the sound of movement.
    Description: Als Bewegungen in Raum und Zeit stehen sich Tanz, Musik und Klänge besonders nahe und können vor diesem Hintergrund sehr eindringliche, audiovisuell kinästhetische Sensationen entwickeln – Sinneseindrücke im ursprünglichen Wortsinn. Dennoch zeigen sich auch immer wieder Tendenzen, die hör- und sichtbaren Bewegungsgestaltungen voneinander zu emanzipieren, um sie in ihrer jeweils eigenen Materialität und Medialität zur Geltung kommen zu lassen und auf diese Weise herkömmliche Erwartungen zu irritieren. Die Beiträge dieses Bandes gehen der Frage nach, welche Bewegungs- und Klangspuren sich in diesem Wechselspiel der Künste zeigen und welche Wahrnehmungsspuren sie dabei hinterlassen können.

    transcript Verlag

    Publication Date: 2021-12-16
    Description: Racist police checks are part of everyday life in Europe. They make it dramatically visible who is not considered a fellow citizen. While much of the dominance society finds this racist practice normal, more and more people are no longer prepared to accept it without resistance. The volume brings together scientific, artistic and activist contributions to the social backgrounds and modes of action of racial profiling and the possibilities of intersectional anti-racist resistance. The focus is on Switzerland, supplemented by perspectives from authors who are familiar with the German context.
    Description: Rassistische Polizeikontrollen gehören zum Alltag in Europa. Sie machen auf drastische Weise sichtbar, wer nicht als Mit-Bürger*in gilt. Während ein Großteil der Dominanzgesellschaft diese rassistische Praxis als normal empfindet, sind immer mehr betroffene Menschen nicht mehr bereit, sie widerstandslos zu akzeptieren. Der Band versammelt wissenschaftliche, künstlerische und aktivistische Beiträge zu den gesellschaftlichen Hintergründen und Wirkungsweisen von Racial Profiling und den Möglichkeiten eines intersektionalen antirassistischen Widerstands. Dabei liegt der Fokus auf der Schweiz, ergänzt durch Perspektiven von Autor*innen, die mit dem deutschen Kontext vertraut sind.

    Size Matters – Understanding Monumentality Across Ancient Civilizations (2019)
    transcript Verlag
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-05-12
    Description: When talking about monuments, size undeniably matters – or does it? But how else can we measure monumentality? Bringing together researchers from various fields such as archaeology, museology, history, sociology, Mesoamerican studies, and art history, this book discusses terminological and methodological approaches in both theoretical contributions and various case studies. While focusing on architectural aspects, this volume also discusses the social meaning of monuments, the role of forced and free labour, as well as textual monumentality. The result is a modern interdisciplinary take on an important concept which is notoriously difficult to define. When talking about monuments, size undeniably matters – or does it?
