        Anti-colonial research praxis

        Methods for knowledge justice

        by Caroline Lenette

        How can anti-colonial research methodologies be transformative and achieve knowledge justice? This book brings together an eclectic group of leading scholars from around the world to share methodological knowledge grounded in First Nations and majority-world expertise and wisdom. The authors challenge western-centric and colonial approaches to knowledge production and redefine the possibilities of what we can achieve through social research. First Nations and majority-world perspectives are contextual and unique. They share a common aim of disrupting established beliefs on research methodologies and the unquestioned norms that dictate whose knowledge the academy values. The ten chapters in this edited collection describe how the authors draw on Indigenous knowledge systems, feminist frameworks, and creative methodologies as anti-colonial research praxis. The examples span several disciplines such as development studies, geography, education, sexual and reproductive health, humanitarian studies, and social work. Authors use a reflexive approach to discuss specific factors that shape how they engage in research ethically, to lead readers through a reflection on their own practices and values. The book reimagines social research using an anti-colonial lens and concludes with a collaboratively developed and co-written set of provocations for anti-colonial research praxis that situate this important work in the context of ongoing colonial violence and institutional constraints. This book is an essential guide for researchers and scholars within and beyond the academy on how anti-colonial research praxis can produce meaningful outcomes, especially in violent and troubled times.

        Data Leaks (1). Wer macht die Wahrheit?

        by Mous, Mirjam

        Der Kampf um die Macht der Daten hat begonnen … Big Data und KI verändern unsere Welt schon heute - doch das ist erst der Anfang. Ein schonungsloser Thriller über die Zukunft der Digitalisierung für Jugendliche ab 14 von Mirjam Mous, der Erfolgsautorin von Boy 7. Zwischen Regierung und Hackern tobt ein Kampf um die persönlichen Daten der Menschen. Zwei Geschwister werden in das brisante Spiel hineingezogen, doch die Regeln sind undurchschaubar - und tödlich. Der siebzehnjährige Holden und seine Schwester Prissy leben in Paradise - einer Stadt, in der es keine Armut, keine Umweltverschmutzung und keine Verbrechen gibt. Während Prissy mit ihren Freundinnen im Camchat abhängt und per ID-Armband auf Shopping-Tour geht, rebelliert Holden gegen die starren Regeln der Gesellschaft. Heimlich streift er durch abgesperrte Naturreservate und schmuggelt von dort verbotene Gegenstände in die Stadt - bis er ins Visier der Ordnungskräfte gerät. Sie wissen alles über seine Streifzüge und sperren ihn als Straftäter ins berüchtigte Cliffton Institut. Als Holden abgeführt wird, gerät Prissys heile Welt ins Wanken. Da taucht plötzlich der undurchschaubare Hacker Mo auf und bietet ihr seine Hilfe an. Im Gegenzug soll Prissy bei einem riskanten Daten-Coup mitmachen, der ganz Paradise in Trümmer legen könnte. Während Prissy sich immer tiefer in die illegalen Machenschaften hineinziehen lässt, erkennt Holden im Institut, dass die Regierung von Paradise ein falsches Spiel mit ihnen allen spielt - und dass Prissy und er keineswegs zufällig zwischen die Fronten geraten sind. Data Leaks - Wer macht die Wahrheit? ist der Auftakt eines atemlos spannenden Zweiteilers. Das Finale Wer kennt deine Gedanken? erscheint im Frühjahr 2021

        Public information films

        British government film units, 1928–52

        by Alan Harding

        In the years after the First World War the British government had to adapt its communication policy to connect with the new mass electorate. This book examines the government's own Film Units and their slow development of the Public Information Film. By reviewing the entire film catalogue produced by the Empire Marketing Board, the General Post Office and Crown Film Units, particular themes are identified which not only reflect the demands of the Units' sponsors but also the anxieties and concerns of the 1930s and 1940s. The impact of the films is explored through the contemporary reaction of the audiences to them. By the time the Crown Film Unit was closed in 1952 a style of Public Information Film had been developed and continued into the 1970s.

        On trial

        Testing new drugs in psychiatry, 1940–1980

        by Marietta Meier, Magaly Tornay, Mario König

        The heroic story of the invention of antidepressants is a key part of the psychopharmaceutical turn. On Trial revolves around one of its pioneers, psychiatrist Roland Kuhn, who practiced in Münsterlingen, a state-run psychiatric hospital in Switzerland. Kuhn became famous for the 'discovery' of the first antidepressant, Tofranil, and more recently notorious for his numerous trials on often unsuspecting patients. Largely based on the extensive and previously inaccessible sources of Kuhn's private archive, the book delves into the early days of industry-sponsored clinical research in psychiatry. It examines how the clinic, patients, doctors, nursing staff, corporations, and authorities interacted in the trials. Conducted from the 1940s to 1980s, the Münsterlingen drug trials are historicised and situated in the period's evolving landscape of experimentation.
