Business, Economics & LawMarch 2023Water struggles as resistance to neoliberal capitalism
A time of reproductive unrest
by Madelaine Moore
This book provides an important intervention into social reproduction theory and the politics of water. Presenting an incorporated comparison, it analyses the conjuncture following the 2007 financial crisis through the lens of water expropriation and resistance. This brings into view the way that transnational capital has made use of and been facilitated by the strategic selectivities of both the Irish and the Australian state, as well as the particular class formations that emerged in resistance to such water grabs. What is revealed is a crisis-ridden system that is marked by increasing reproductive unrest - class understood through the lens of social reproduction theory. As an important analysis of two significant water struggles, the book makes a compelling argument for integrating the study of social movements within critical political economy.

Teaching, Language & ReferenceAugust 2022Dividing the spoils
Perspectives on military collections and the British empire
by Henrietta Lidchi, Stuart Allan
At a time of heightened international interest in the colonial dimensions of museum collections, Dividing the Spoils provides new perspectives on the motivations and circumstances whereby collections were appropriated and acquired during colonial military service. Combining approaches from the fields of material anthropology, imperial and military history, this book argues for a deeper examination of these collections within a range of intercultural histories that include alliance, diplomacy, curiosity and enquiry, as well as expropriation and cultural hegemony. As museums across Europe reckon with the post-colonial legacies of their collections, Dividing the Spoils explores how the amassing of objects was understood and governed in British military culture, and considers how objects functioned in museum collections thereafter, suggesting new avenues for sustained investigation in a controversial, contested field.

Ausgeleuchtet (a pun impossible to translate)
Detective Story from Berlin 1926
by Gunnar Kunz
Berlin, 1926. revelations about coup plans and vigilante justice of right wing groups shake the Weimar Republic, the dispute over the expropriation of the lords divides the country. An actress is murdered in a theatre. But was the attack really aimed at her or her colleague? For their still-husband, the death of his wife would be all too convenient. And what about her rival and her rejected suitor? Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream is being rehearsed, and Hendrik Lilienthal and his sister-in-law Diana, who are investigating the case together with Hendrik's brother Gregor, cannot help but feel that the love madness on stage has its parallels in real life. Finally, another attack is perpetrated and the investigators understand: they have to hurry if they don't want to lament another murder. Gunnar Kunz, who worked at the theater for fourteen years, not only describes the theater milieu with its ups and downs, but also revives the exciting time of the twenties. Sutton publishing house, Erfurt 2016. 240 pages, 12.99 Euro. ISBN-13: 978-3-95400-601-4

Humanities & Social SciencesJuly 2011A Rugged Nation
Mountains and the Making of Modern Italy
by Marco Armiero
A Rugged Nation uncovers how Italian identity and mountains have constituted one another. State regimes since unification in 1861 have made mountains into national symbols and resources. The nationalisation of Italian mountains has been a story of military conquest and resistance, ecological and social transformation, expropriating resources and imposing meanings. World War I permanently transformed mountain landscapes and people, nationalising both. When the Fascists came to power, the process of politicisation of mountains reached its acme; the regime constructed and exploited mountains both rhetorically and materially, on one hand celebrating ruralism and rural people and, on the other, giving mountain natural resources to large hydro-electric corporations. The book ends with two exemplar tales about mountains and their place in the Italian recent history: the Resistance against the Nazi-Fascists, which found its sanctuary up in the mountains, and the 1963 Vajont disaster, which, with 2,000 people killed, represents the tragic epilogue of the hydroelectric modernisation of the Alps.

How the dark side of power leads us into the abyss - Insights from 5000 years
by Rainer Mausfeld
The risks and dangers of military and ecological de-struction are now so great that they threaten humancivilisation par excellence. The challenge of creating agood, liveable and well-ordered community is moreurgent today than ever before. But the only means onwhich hope can be founded is de facto no longer avail-able to us today: democracy. The cognitive psycholo-gist Rainer Mausfeld argues that democracy has be-come an empty word: while democracy was once aninstrument to contain elite depravity, the guiding civili-sational idea of democracy has been expropriatedfrom us, distorted, and turned into its opposite: therule of elites. In a broad sweep, Mausfeld shows howthis devastating development could have come aboutand what we must do to escape the civilisationalabyss.
