| Title: Moving Lives â Cultivating with Climate Change in Vanuatu |
| By (author): Desirée Hetzel |
| ISBN10-13: 3837677664 : 9783837677669 |
| Horticulture in Oceania has been under increasing scrutiny due to climate change and related policies. In Vanuatu, cultivators navigate crop growth and community life within the context of shifting environments, storm events, and innovations in climate projects. Desirée Hetzel offers new insights into the encounters and dynamics of climate change in this unique island nation by showing the routes around and roads towards gardening as both an environmental and a social practice. This reflection on indigenous agency from environmental anthropology and the anthropology of climate change comes at a critical moment of planetary transformation. |

| Title: Religious Freedom and Populism |
| Sub-title: The Appropriation of a Human Right and How to Counter It |
| Edited by: Bernd Hirschberger, Katja Voges |
| ISBN10-13: 3837668274 : 9783837668278 |
| Populism is a growing threat to human rights. They are appropriated, distorted, turned into empty words or even their opposite. The contributors to this volume examine these practices using the example of freedom of religion or belief, a human right that has become a particular target of right-wing populists and extremists worldwide. The contributions not only show the rhetorical patterns of appropriation and distortion, but also demonstrate for various countries which social dynamics favor the appropriation in each case and propose how to strengthen human rights and the culture of debate in democratic societies. |

| Title: Stereotypically Autistic? |
| Sub-title: Autism Portrayals in Young Adult Fiction |
| By (author): Eva Charlotte Hesse |
| ISBN10-13: 3837678911 : 9783837678918 |
| Fictional representations of autism hold immense power over social perception, and yet such portrayals often remain stereotypical and one-sided. Based on discourse theory, Eva Charlotte Hesse explores the origins of autism stereotypes with regard to ideas of normality and deviance, their impact on the lives of autistic individuals, and the controversy surrounding autism definition. She offers criteria for the evaluation of autism portrayals while also pointing out prejudices and underlying power structures in the light of new medical findings, thus providing a critical perspective on current developments within the autism discourse. |

| Title: Venice, an Archipelago of Art and Ecologies |
| Edited by: Christina Hainzl, Cristina Baldacci, Adrian Praschl-Bichler Series edited by: Christina Hainzl |
| ISBN10-13: 3837674401 : 9783837674408 |
| The archipelago of Venice is often at the centre of socio-ecological discussions due to its uniqueness and ambiguity. It is a world cultural heritage site and, at the same time, a fragile ecosystem, strongly threatened by the climate crisis and overtourism. This volume brings together scholars, artists, museum professionals and curators to show how Venice is a special observatory for addressing the challenges of the future and how the arts can contribute to an ecological transition and cultural regeneration. |

| Title: Volunteer Tourism Encounters |
| Sub-title: Perspectives from an Indigenous Host Community in the Ecuadorian Amazon |
| By (author): Stefanie Schien |
| ISBN10-13: 3837677923 : 9783837677928 |
| Volunteer tourism is a global trend in which travellers engage in voluntary work, often in social, environmental, or charitable projects. Stefanie Schien explores the lived experiences of a Shuar community in the Ecuadorian Amazon that hosts volunteer tourists. She challenges the view of locals as passive aid recipients and highlights how they actively navigate, negotiate, and leverage voluntourism to pursue their own strategies and motives. By emphasizing the perspectives and agency of the host community, this thought-provoking study complicates our understanding of voluntourism and shows that what is at stake for the Shuar in this global exchange is the continuation of their self-determined way of life. |

| Title: (Dis)Obedience in Digital Societies |
| Sub-title: Perspectives on the Power of Algorithms and Data |
| Edited by: Sven Quadflieg, Klaus Neuburg, Simon Nestler |
| ISBN10-13: 3837657639 : 9783837657630 |
| Algorithms are not to be regarded as a technical structure but as a social phenomenon â they embed themselves, currently still very subtle, into our political and social system. Algorithms shape human behavior on various levels: they influence not only the aesthetic reception of the world but also the well-being and social interaction of their users. They act and intervene in a political and social context. As algorithms influence individual behavior in these social and political situations, their power should be the subject of critical discourse â or even lead to active disobedience and to the need for appropriate tools and methods which can be used to break the algorithmic power. |

| Title: (Dis)Orienting Media and Narrative Mazes |
| Series: Kultur- und Medientheorie |
| Edited by: Julia Eckel, Bernd Leiendecker, Daniela Olek, Christine Piepiorka |
| ISBN10-13: 3837623386 : 9783837623383 |
| (Dis)Orientation appears to be a phenomenon that is connected to media in numerous respects: today, finding your way in the world often means finding your way with the help of as well as within media, which in turn creates new virtual realms of (dis)orientation. This book deals with recent media technologies and structures (navigation devices, databases, transmediality) and unconventional narrative patterns (narrative complexity, plot twists, non-linearity), using the ambivalent concept of (dis)orientation as a shared focus to analyse various phenomena of contemporary media, thereby raising overarching questions about current mediascapes. |

| Title: (Extra)Ordinary Presence |
| Sub-title: Social Configurations and Cultural Repertoires |
| Series: Präsenz und implizites Wissen |
| Edited by: Markus Gottwald, Kay Kirchmann, Heike Paul |
| ISBN10-13: 3837627217 : 9783837627213 |
| Taking its cue from contemporary western debates on presence in the social sciences and the humanities, this volume focuses on 'presence' both as everyday experience and as an experience of intense moments. It raises questions about diverse social configurations of presence as well as about the specific cultural repertoires which encode, articulate, and shape discourses of presence. The contributions take as a premise that phenomena of presence are connected to particular forms of knowledge. Especially tacit knowledge (pre)determines experiences of individual and collective presence and becomes tangible in moments of presence or presentification. |

| Title: (In)visible Acts of Resistance in the Twilight of the Franco Regime |
| Sub-title: A Historical Narration |
| Series: Historische Geschlechterforschung |
| By (author): Aurora G. Morcillo |
| ISBN10-13: 3837652572 : 9783837652574 |
| Which everyday practices allowed women to sustain and fulfill individuality and agency under dictatorial rule? This book adds to a rich scholarship on the history of late Francoism and the transition to democracy in Modern Spain through the lens of oral history and life writing. Aurora Morcillo tells the stories of anonymous individuals from both student and working class backgrounds â crucial sites of active resistance against the dictatorship at the time â and provides an interdisciplinary feminist analysis of the inevitable modernization of Spain in the 1960s and 1970s. This study uncovers a Deleuzian rendition of historical unfolding/becoming rather than simply being a collection of oral histories: a historical narration which proposes to be a creative historical ontology. |
