Fair Trade and Sustainable Development Dispersed Hybrid Markets

Fair Trade and Sustainable Development Dispersed Hybrid Markets

Fair Trade constitutes a social-business initiative that plays a crucial role in the transition towards a sustainable market economy countering the major challenges of the 21st century. This research monograph reveals the mechanisms behind this process. It argues that Fair Trade constitutes a new type of market a Dispersed Hybrid Market (DHM) that due to its specific features contributes to a more pro-social functioning of the entire market and taking responsibility for sustainable development by different market participants. It demonstrates thus what was underestimated about Fair Trade and which is extremely important that it can have a positive impact on the market in terms of sustainable transformation. The book is intended for researchers lecturers students practitioners and political decision-makers interested in sustainable development Fair Trade and transition towards sustainable markets business and economy. It contributes to better understanding of sustainability challenges explaining specifics of Fair Trade market revealing paradoxes and barriers of its development and showing mechanisms of its spillover effects. It also develops arguments about the need to change the role of the state in the face of global challenges and to support such grassroots international initiatives as Fair Trade. Therefore the practical recommendations address both the desired directions of development of the self-governance of this initiative and the expected role of the state towards it in particular possible ways to strengthen it. | Fair Trade and Sustainable Development Dispersed Hybrid Markets

Hip Heritage and Museum Practices in Contemporary Hybrid Markets

Hip Heritage and Museum Practices in Contemporary Hybrid Markets

Focusing on how museums prioritize and produce content Hip Heritage demonstrates how economic issues play an ever-larger role in determining how cultural heritage is being framed and presented in contemporary heritage museums. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork conducted by the authors at seven museums over the course of five years this book offers an in-depth analysis of heritage museums in Nordic Scandinavian and North American contexts. It investigates how economic realities coupled with the cultural contexts in which museums operate affect how these institutions organize manage and develop their collections to make themselves relevant in society. Once charged with the primary task of educating citizens about their cultural identity and history national museums and heritage organizations are also under pressure to rethink their market demands and meet stakeholders’ increasing interest in growing visitor numbers and expanding economic returns. Simultaneously many museums are part of a cultural sector with diminished public funding and increased competition for the existing financing. Against this background this book questions: ‘When the budget is tight whose heritage counts most?’ It considers museums as arenas for heritage politics in action on the local national and international levels as well as at the institutional level. Hip Heritage will appeal to scholars and students engaged in the study of ethnology heritage museum studies marketing leisure and tourism public folklore and sociology. | Hip Heritage and Museum Practices in Contemporary Hybrid Markets

The Printer as Author in Early Modern English Book History John Day and the Fabrication of a Protestant Memory Art

This is the first book to demonstrate how mnemotechnic cultural commonplaces can be used to account for the look style and authorized content of some of the most influential books produced in early modern Britain. In his hybrid role as stationer publisher entrepreneur and author John Day master printer of England’s Reformation produced the premier navigation handbook state-approved catechism and metrical psalms Book of Martyrs England’s first printed emblem book and Queen Elizabeth’s Prayer Book. By virtue of finely honed book trade skills dogged commitment to evangelical nation-building and astute business acumen (including going after those who infringed his privileges) Day mobilized the typographical imaginary to establish what amounts to—and still remains—a potent and viable Protestant Memory Art. | The Printer as Author in Early Modern English Book History John Day and the Fabrication of a Protestant Memory Art

Performing Religion on the Secular Stage

Performing Religion on the Secular Stage

This book examines the relations between Western religion secularism and modern theater and performance. Sharon Aronson-Lehavi posits that the ongoing cultural power of religious texts icons and ideas on the one hand and the artistic freedom enabled by secularism and avant-garde experimentalism on the other has led theatre artists throughout the twentieth century to create a uniquely modern theatrical hybrid–theater performances that simultaneously re-inscribe and grapple with religion and religious performativity. The book compares this phenomenon with medieval forms of religious theater and offers deep and original analyses of significant contemporary works ranging from plays and performances by August Strindberg Hugo Ball (Dada) Jerzy Grotowski and Hanoch Levin to those created by Adrienne Kennedy Rina Yerushalmi Deb Margolin Milo Rau and Sarah Ruhl. The book analyzes a new and original historiography of a uniquely modern theatrical phenomenon a study that is of high importance considering the reemergence of religion in contemporary culture and politics. | Performing Religion on the Secular Stage

Animal Rhetoric and Natural Science in Eighteenth-Century Liberal Political Writing Political Zoologies of the French Enlightenment

Animal Rhetoric and Natural Science in Eighteenth-Century Liberal Political Writing Political Zoologies of the French Enlightenment

Our tendency to read French Enlightenment political writing from a narrow disciplinary perspective has obscured the hybrid character of political philosophy rhetoric and natural science in the period. As Michèle Duchet and others have shown French Enlightenment thinkers developed a philosophical anthropology to support new political norms and models. This book explores how five important eighteenth-century French political authors—Rousseau Diderot La Mettrie Quesnay and Rétif de La Bretonne—also constructed a political zoology in their philosophical and literary writings informed by animal references drawn from Enlightenment natural history science and physiology. Drawing on theoretical work by Derrida Latour de Fontenay and others it shows how these five authors signed on to the old rhetorical tradition of animal comparisons in political philosophy which they renewed via the findings and speculations of contemporary science. Engaging with recent scholarship on Enlightenment political thought it also explores the links between their political zoologies and their family resemblance as liberal political thinkers. | Animal Rhetoric and Natural Science in Eighteenth-Century Liberal Political Writing Political Zoologies of the French Enlightenment

Reassessing Russia's Security Policy

Reassessing Russia's Security Policy

This book provides a detailed analysis of the evolution of Russia’s security policy. Based on extensive original research including an analysis of official documents political and military elite speeches interviews and reports and considering the subject from the early 20th century onward the book evaluates how far Russia’s security policy is underpinned by “strategic asymmetry”—the acceptance by Russia of its inferior military position and the pursuit of its strategic aims through the application of a variety of methods military and non-military including the manipulation of public opinion the use of economic leverage and external security approaches—known as Russia’s “hybrid war operations”—to gain the advantage over a militarily and economically superior adversary. The book discusses how Russia’s security policy has been and is being applied in specific cases including the present war in Ukraine the Russian anti-satellite program and Russia’s contemporary Afghan policy. The aim of the book is to explain how and why Russia uses different security strategies and methods using these three cases. | Reassessing Russia's Security Policy

Courtly Pastimes

Courtly Pastimes

The modern concept of passing leisure hours pleasantly would in the Middle Ages have fallen under the rubric of Sloth a deadly sin. Yet aristocrats of past centuries were not always absorbed in affairs of state or warfare. What did they do in moments of peace downtime as we might call it today? In this collection of essays scholars from various disciplines investigate courtly modes of entertainment ranging from the vigorous to the intellectual: hunting jousting horse racing; physical and verbal games; reading writing and book ownership. Favorite pastimes spanned differences of gender and age and crossed geographical and cultural boundaries. Literary and historical examples come from England France Germany Spain and Italy. Courtly Pastimes analyzes the underlying rationales for such activities: to display power and prestige to acquire cultural capital to instill a sense of community or to build diplomatic alliances. Performativity − so crucial in social rituals − could become transgressive if taken to extremes. Certain chapters explore the spaces of courtliness: literal or imaginary; man-made natural or a hybrid of both. Other chapters concern materiality and visual elements associated with courtly pastimes: from humble children’s toys and playthings to elite tournament attire castle murals and manuscript illuminations.

The Choice for Banking Union Power Politics and the Trap of Credible Commitments

The Choice for Banking Union Power Politics and the Trap of Credible Commitments

This book explains why the European Union (EU) Member States – in response to the euro crisis – agreed to establish banking union despite previous objections and why they chose its hybrid institutional design. Analysing its establishment from 2012 to 2020 the book offers a comprehensive view of the preferences of the Member States and EU institutions as well as of the negotiation dynamics and latest developments in the three pillars of banking union namely the Single Supervisory Mechanism the Single Resolution Mechanism and the common backstop and the European deposit insurance scheme. Furthermore empirically the book looks beyond the usual focus of the northern and southern coalition of states to underline the influence of powerful smaller Member States in the intergovernmental bargaining process. Adopting a range of theoretical perspectives it questions the solidity of the northern versus southern camps and reveals distinctive and particular positioning from individual countries during the process. This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of European financial market regulation European economic governance EU institutions European integration theory and EU politics more broadly. | The Choice for Banking Union Power Politics and the Trap of Credible Commitments

Traditional Values and Local Community in the Formal Educational System in Senegal Relevance Need and Barriers to the Integration of Local

This book explores the discourse of traditional values and local practices within the formal educational system in Senegal investigating how these cultural elements are present in the daily life of the community and integrated into formal schools and teaching. Studying the integration of concepts such as Jom (hard work pride dignity) Kersa (decency) Fule (self-respect) Mun (endurance) Teranga (hospitality) Kal (kinship) and Suture (Protection) it looks at how values are used perceived and understood within communities as well as their positive and negative connotations in the postcolonial context. Based on long-term participant education and utilizing a critical auto-ethnography lens it ultimately proposes that such concepts can be used to counterbalance the Western knowledge to which schoolchildren are mostly exposed connecting this to Bhaba’s system of the ‘Third Space”; a hybrid system to accommodate both educational systems for more relevant education. An informed study of the positive impacts of traditional cultural values on education in Senegal it will appeal to scholars researchers and practitioners of education in post-colonial Francophone countries with interests in culturally relevant education African education post-colonial education and international education. | Traditional Values and Local Community in the Formal Educational System in Senegal Relevance Need and Barriers to the Integration of Local

Unconscious Networks Philosophy Psychoanalysis and Artificial Intelligence

Unconscious Networks Philosophy Psychoanalysis and Artificial Intelligence

This book develops an original theoretical framework for understanding human-technology relations. The author’s approach which he calls technoanalysis analyzes artificial intelligence based on Freudian psychoanalysis biosemiotics and Latour’s actor-network theory. How can we communicate with AI to determine shared values and objectives? And what ultimately do we want from machines? These are crucial questions in our world where the influence of AI-based technologies is rapidly growing. Unconscious dynamics influence AI and digital technology and understanding them is essential to better controlling AI systems. This book’s unique methodology— which combines psychoanalysis biosemiotics and actor-network theory—reveals a radical reformulation of the problem of the human mind. Technoanalysis views the mind as a hybrid network of humans and nonhuman actants in constant interaction with one another. The author argues that human unconscious dynamics influence and shape technology just as technology influences and shapes human unconscious dynamics. He proceeds to show how this conception of the relationship between the unconscious and technology can be applied to social robotics and AI. Unconscious Networks will appeal to scholars and advanced students interested in philosophy of technology philosophy of artificial intelligence psychoanalysis and science and technology studies. | Unconscious Networks Philosophy Psychoanalysis and Artificial Intelligence

Political Parties in Post-Uprising Tunisia and Morocco Organization Development and Legitimation

Political Parties in Post-Uprising Tunisia and Morocco Organization Development and Legitimation

This book offers a comparative theory-grounded study of Maghrebi political parties since the Arab uprisings specifically focused on Tunisia and Morocco in the first decade after the 2011 watershed elections. Based on primary sources including in-depth interviews and updated party statutes and bylaws the author introduces four case studies of key Islamist and anti-Islamist parties exploring their organisational standing internal working and legitimating assets. By dwelling into a topic long neglected the author provides insight into the hybrid nature of political parties in the Maghreb oscillating between juxtaposed traditional and modern discourses and ambivalent sources of political authority. As such it is hybridisation that shapes parties’ organisational choices and development and accounts for differences within parties. In the wake of political liberalisation the author argues that political parties have become increasingly distant from society distrusted by a large part of the citizenry. Ultimately the Tunisian and Moroccan cases invite reflection on similar phenomena taking place within the Middle East and North Africa region and even outside of it. Bridging disparate disciplines including comparative politics area studies and contemporary Middle Eastern history the book will be of interest to a broad range of graduate-level students and academics. | Political Parties in Post-Uprising Tunisia and Morocco Organization Development and Legitimation

Expanding Ecological Approaches to Language Culture and Identity Politics and Power in South Korean Multicultural Youths’ Experiences

Expanding Ecological Approaches to Language Culture and Identity Politics and Power in South Korean Multicultural Youths’ Experiences

This book explores the process of identity (re)construction among mixed-heritage children within the context of globalization through the lens of its intersection with Korean society. The volume illustrates how these multicultural children mediate hybrid social spaces and examines their personal approaches toward translating resisting and transforming the entanglements engendered in those spaces. By tracing the trajectories of their identity (re)formations over several years the book details the paths these youths have taken to navigate diverse contact zones and cope with institutional regulatory mechanisms. It highlights that in the face of prevailing social stigma they actively involve themselves in political action in their day-to-day lives: they redefine what it means to be Korean and/but multicultural challenge simplistic membership boundaries and develop unique strategies to resist and subsist. These efforts to question the essentialist logic of authenticity demonstrate that these youths situated at the convergence of globalization migration inequality and political power represent a challenge to both national and global orders. Arguing that ecological perspectives need to direct greater attention toward the political as well as the posthumanist dimensions of language culture and identity this book is key reading for scholars in applied linguistics intercultural communication and Asian studies. | Expanding Ecological Approaches to Language Culture and Identity Politics and Power in South Korean Multicultural Youths’ Experiences

Questioning Planetary Illiberal Geographies Territory Space and Power

Questioning Planetary Illiberal Geographies Territory Space and Power

This book engages with current debates on ‘planetary urbanization’ and the nature of urban political theory but notably considers the implications of illiberalism on space territory and power. Such a focus is timely as illiberalism (across various settings and terrains) is producing and embedded in increasingly complex hybrid multi-scalar non-linear and globally networked flows. Through ordinary explorations drawn from diverse empirical case studies (China the United States India South Korea and Singapore) and via mixed methodologies the chapters in this volume seek to advance theory that moves beyond assumptions and certainties of what illiberalism is how and where it operates what it looks like and how it is experienced and embodied in different contexts offline and online. Chapters critically reflect upon themes like authoritarianism and the spatialization of illiberal power from the grassroots up to national governments and stress the need to move beyond normative understandings and portrayals of these terms and concepts. Presciently this volume looks back on recent history pre-dating the Covid-19 pandemic and some of the shocking political transformations now underway: as such the chapters offer a valuable lens to critically consider issues like public health policies surveillance and policing borders and bordering and activism and resistance. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Territory Politics Governance. | Questioning Planetary Illiberal Geographies Territory Space and Power

Liquid Architecture Experimental Practices of Design in a State of Flux

Liquid Architecture Experimental Practices of Design in a State of Flux

Liquid Architecture challenges the idea of architecture as a fixed inert container and reconceptualises it as a body whose boundaries are rather blurred and ever-changing. This book moves away from form as the primary driver of spatial protocols and explores what the built environment might look like when viewed through the lenses of a ‘wet ontology’ that is attentive to fluidity flows and territorial dynamism. A reconfiguration of architectural materials and authorship is thus considered leading in turn to an exploration of the ethical dimensions of co-designing with natural systems (of various viscosities) through liquid paradigms. The book examines a set of principles for practice-led discoveries that incorporate hybrid mixed media with the author’s intersubjective relationship with liquid matter. Drawing from qualitative-based analytical investigation models the text allows comprehension of the liquid phenomena via material contextualisation of an ever-becoming research setting. Through a practical and theoretical engagement with the ontology of liquids the reader is exposed to a range of design-led experiments and creative propositions visualisation systems construction and testing of physical models that collectively translate into a series of novel insights for architectural agendas. This book will be of interest to architecture and design research students and academics because it advocates the need for a more symbiotic and resilient approach to natural systems which could benefit from the integration of regenerating material flows into our buildings and urban settlements. | Liquid Architecture Experimental Practices of Design in a State of Flux
