Food, risk and politics

Scare, scandal and crisis - insights into the risk politics of food safety

by Ed Randall

This is a book about the risk politics of food safety. Food-related risks regularly grab the headlines in ways that threaten reasoned debate and obstruct sensible policy making. In this book, Ed Randall explains why this is the case. He goes on to make the case for a properly informed and fully open public debate about food safety issues. He argues that this is the true antidote to the politics of scare, scandal and crisis. The book skilfully weaves together the many different threads of food safety and risk politics and offers a particularly rewarding read for academics and students in the fields of politics and media studies. It will also appeal to scholars from other disciplines, particularly social psychology and the food sciences. The book is a lively and exceptionally readable account of food safety and risk politics that will engage policy makers and the general reader. It promises to help us all manage food safety issues more intelligently and successfully. ;

Der Einfall der Geister

Roman | Ein Meisterwerk Schwarzen Erzählens

by Randall Kenan, Eva Bonné, Aminata Cissé

Die Schuld austreiben, das ist der Plan, als Horace in einer Frühlingsnacht in den Garten seines Großvaters hinaustritt. Ein Ritual soll Horace befreien. Von den Erwartungen, die seine Familie an ihn und seine Begabung stellt, von den rasenden Gedanken, vom Begehren, das ihn Mitte der Achtziger in dieser Schwarzen Baptistengemeinde im Süden alles kosten kann. Doch die Befreiung missglückt, und Horace, getrieben von den erlittenen Ungerechtigkeiten aus Hunderten von Jahren, irrt gefährlich durch die Nacht. Bis ein anderer Mann aus seiner Familie, am Glauben verzweifelt wie er, dem berechtigten Wahnsinn Einhalt gebieten will … Entdeckt von Toni Morrison, als sein Jünger mit James Baldwins Nachlass betraut, so stand Randall Kenan 1989 nach Erscheinen seines Romans an der Spitze der nachfolgenden Generation, einsam und zu früh. Mehr als dreißig Jahre mussten vergehen, damit Der Einfall der Geister international gefeiert werden kann, als ein Meisterwerk Schwarzen Erzählens, über die Gefahren der Erlösung, über Wünsche, die an Grenzen stoßen.

Soziologiegeschichte

Wege und Ziele

by Stephan Moebius, Christian Dayé

Warum beschäftigen sich Soziologinnen und Soziologen mit der Geschichte ihres eigenen Faches? Ist eine Disziplingeschichte bloß akademischer Tand oder benötigt die Gesellschaft tatsächlich eine Geschichte ihrer professionellen Selbstreflexion und Selbstbeobachtung? Und: Wie kann Soziologiegeschichte in einer Weise betrieben werden, die die Existenz des Fachs in einem über die akademische curiositas hinausgehenden Rahmen rechtfertigt? Diesen Fragen gehen namhafte Soziologiehistorikerinnen und -historiker wie Andrew Abbott, Randall Collins, Dirk Kaesler, Donald N. Levine, Jennifer Platt, Karl-Siegbert Rehberg u. a. in diesem Band nach, der in seiner Verbindung von klassischen und neueren Texten als Einführung in die Soziologiegeschichte dienen kann.

Comrade heart

A life of Randall Swingler

by Andy Croft

Tells the extraordinary story of the English poet Randall Swingler, godson of the Archbishop of Canterbury, communist, librettist, publisher, propagandist, poet and war-hero. Focuses on the Second World War and the story of the African and Italian campaigns, recorded uniquely through the eyes of the ordinary soldier. A case-study of the intellectual consequences of the Cold War in Britain, McCarthyism AND Zhdanovism. It is a book about poetry and music. And it is a love story. A wholly original contribution to an area of literary history which reclaims the lost history of the London literary Left. Differs from most other books about poetry and politics in Britain in the middle decades of the twentieth century by drawing on new and original sources. ;

Theatre and religion

Lancastrian Shakespeare

by Richard Dutton, Alison Findlay, Richard Wilson

This important collection of essays focuses on the place of Roman Catholicism in early modern England, bringing new perspectives to bear on whether Shakespeare himself was Catholic. In the Introduction, Richard Wilson reviews the history of the debate over Shakespeare's religion, while Arthur Marotti and Peter Milward offer current perspectives on the subject. Eamon Duffy offers a historian's view of the nature of Elizabethan Catholicism, complemented by Frank Brownlow's study of Elizabeth's most brutal enforcer of religious policy, Richard Topcliffe. Two key Catholic controversialists are addressed by Donna Hamilton (Richard Vestegan) and Jean-Christophe Mayer (Robert Parsons). Robert Miola opens up the neglected field of Jesuit drama in the period, whilst Sonia Fielitz specifically proposes a new, Jesuit source-text for Timon of Athens. Carol Enos (As You Like It), Margaret Jones-Davies (Cymbeline), Gerard Kilroy (Hamlet) and Randall Martin (Henry VI 3) read individual plays in the light of these questions, while Gary Taylor's essay fittingly investigates the possible influence of religious conflicts on the publication of the Shakespeare First Folio. Theatre and religion: Lancastrian Shakespeare as a whole represents a major intervention in this fiercely contested current debate. ;
