Democracy in crisis
Violence, alterity, community
by Stella Gaon
This volume explores the political implications of violence and alterity (radical difference) for the practice of democracy, and reformulates the possibility of community that democracy is said to entail. Most significantly, contributors intervene in traditional democratic theory by boldly contesting the widely-held assumption that increased inclusion, tolerance and cultural recognition are democracy's sufficient conditions. Rather than simply inquiring how best to expand the 'demos', they investigate how claims to self-determination, identity and sovereignty are a problem for democracy and how, paradoxically, alterity may be its greatest strength. Drawing largely on the Left, continental tradition, contributions include an appeal to the tension between fear and love in the face of anti-Semitism in Poland, injunctions to rethink the identity-difference binary and the ideal of 'mutual recognition' that dominate liberal-democratic thought, critiques of the canonical 'we' that constitutes the democratic community, and a call for an ethics and a politics of 'dissensus' in democratic struggles against racist and sexist oppression. The authors mobilise some of the most powerful critical insights emerging across the social sciences and humanities - from anthropology, sociology, critical legal studies, Marxism, psychoanalysis and critical race theory and post-colonial studies - to reconsider the meaning and the possibility of 'democracy' in the face of its contemporary crisis. The book will be of direct interest to students and scholars interested in cutting-edge, critical reflection on the empirical phenomenon of increased violence in the West provoked by radical difference, and on theories of radical political change. ;

Johnny Porno
Kriminalroman
by Charlie Stella, Andrea Stumpf
John Albano schlägt sich als Geldeinsammler für die New Yorker Cosa Nostra durch. Er kassiert die Tageseinnahmen, die beim Abspielen des von der Mafia produzierten Pornofilms und späteren Welthits Deep Throat in schmuddeligen Hinterzimmern anfallen. Bezahlt wird hauptsächlich mit 5-Dollar-Scheinen, die Johnny Porno (so nennt man den Mann, der diesen Job macht) in seinem Schrottauto durch die Gegend fährt. Das erweckt Begehrlichkeiten, und so sind sie alle hinter Johnny Porno her: korrupte Cops, neurotische Killer, freischaffende Schurken, das FBI und seine sehr gierige Ex-Frau. New Yorker Streetlife im Jahr 1973. Sehr komisch, gemein und knallhart.

Peer-to-peer Accommodation and Community Resilience
Implications for Sustainable Development
by Anna Farmaki, Dimitri Ioannides, Stella Kladou
The growth of peer-to-peer (P2P) accommodation has been remarkable. However, the rapid expansion of the phenomenon has yielded several concerns over its potentially negative impacts on the economic, social and environmental levels. These impacts are highlighted in policy agenda as an emerging problem encountered by many urban destinations experiencing a boom in P2P accommodation. Specifically, concerns have been raised over the impact of the growth of P2P accommodation on local housing markets, residents' well-being and the environment as a result of the touristification of residential areas. In fact, P2P accommodation has been accused of fuelling the 'overtourism' problem that several destinations face. This edited book addresses the need to examine the P2P accommodation phenomenon from a sustainability lens. In particular, through a collection of chapters focusing on diverse cases, the book considers P2P accommodation from the economic, social, environmental and regulatory dimension of sustainability.

One Welfare Animal Health and Welfare, Food Security and Sustainability
by Rebeca García Pinillos, Stella Maris Huertas Canén
This thought-provoking book explores the link between animals, people and their social and physical environments in relation to livestock farming, food safety, food security and sustainability. Providing an overview of livestock farming and animal related food production systems in a one welfare context, One Welfare: Animal Health and Welfare, Food Security and Sustainability begins by considering the interconnections of animals, humans and their environment. It then expands into the food production system, and considers the integration of positive welfare, stress, use of welfare indicators and the economic perspective. Written by a team of international experts, it connects theory with best practice examples and case studies from both organizations and individuals that have successfully implemented a one welfare approach. Essential reading for academics and practitioners who work within farming, food systems and international development, this ground-breaking text is also an important read for veterinary and animal welfare professionals.
