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.
Consumers stand perplexed at the fish counter. Cod or salmon; mackerel or sea bass? Or perhaps rather carp and trout? How about flounder and dab? Dab what? A terrific flatfish, but sadly hardly anyone has heard of it. And what was it again about organic, aquaculture, wild-caught, and that little blue sustainability certificate? Is catching your own a way out? Before you start thinking it’s time to opt for a chop and fried potatoes instead, read this book. It provides readers with deep blue facts from the world’s waters and analyses the global and local habitat of the finned creature.
This book is a collection of recipes for fish cooking.

This book is a collection of articles by anthropologists and social scientists concerned with gendered labour, care, intimacy and sexuality, in relation to mobility and the hardening of borders in Europe. Interrogating the relation between physical, geopolitical borders and ideological, conceptual boundaries, it offers a range of vivid and original ethnographic case studies that will capture the imagination of anyone interested in gendered migration, policies of inclusion and exclusion, and regulation of reproduction and intimacy. The book presents ethnographic and phenomenological discussions of people's changing lives as they cross borders, how people transgress and reshape moral boundaries of proper gender and kinship behaviour, and moral economies of intimacy and sexuality. It also focuses on migrants' navigation of social and financial services in their destination countries, putting questions about rights and limitations on citizenship at the core.

This book analyses the world of selective reproduction by a critical analysis of three modes of controlling birth, namely contraception, reproductive violence, and repro-genetic technologies. All population control policies target and vilify women (Black women in particular), and coerce them into subjecting their bodies to state and medical surveillance; Birth controlled argues that assisted reproductive technologies and repro-genetic technologies employ a similar and stratified burden of blame and responsibility based on gender, race, class and caste. The book draws on gender studies, sociology, medical anthropology, politics, science and technology studies, theology, public health and epidemiology to provides a critical, interdisciplinary and cutting-edge dialogue around the interconnected issues that shape reproductive politics in an ostensibly 'post-population control' era.

Der 'Rig-Veda' ist eines der ältesten Literaturdenkmäler der Menschheit. Seine Hymnen sind die früheste uns erhaltene religiöse Dichtung Indiens; sie sind lange vor dem Hinduismus und Buddhismus entstanden. In der neuen Übersetzung kommen sowohl das Fremde und Geheimnisvolle der Veden als auch ihre bis heute wirksame Unmittelbarkeit zum Ausdruck. Der umfassende Kommentar erläutert die Entstehungs- und Wirkungsgeschichte, die Sprache, Symbole und dichterischen Formen des 'Rig-Veda', seinen geographischen, geschichtlichen, archäologischen, kulturellen und sozialen Hintergrund, die komplexe Götterwelt und Mythologie sowie die große Bedeutung des 'feierlichen Rituals' – eines vollendeten liturgischen Systems, das noch heute Anwendung findet. Der zweite Band der Edition versammelt den dritten bis fünften der insgesamt zehn Liederkreise.

Der ›Rig-Veda‹ gehört zu den frühesten Literaturdenkmälern der Menschheit. Seine 1028 Gedichte mit ihren 10580 Versen wurden etwa zwischen 1500 und 1000 v. Chr. im archaischen Indo-Arisch, einer Vorform des klassischen Sanskrit, verfaßt. Obwohl die ältesten Handschriften erst aus dem frühen 2. Jahrtausend datieren, ist durch die teilweise bis heute praktizierte, äußerst genaue mündliche Überlieferung der ursprüngliche Wortlaut nahezu unverändert erhalten geblieben.In der neuen Übersetzung kommen sowohl das Fremde, Geheimnisvolle der Veden als auch ihre bis heute wirksame Unmittelbarkeit zum Ausdruck. Der dritte Band enthält mit den Liederkreisen 6 und 7 die Dichtungen des Bharadvāja und seiner Nachkommen (maṇḍala 6) und das Buch der Vasiṣṭhas (maṇḍala 7).

The secret life of romantic comedy offers a new approach to one of the most popular and resilient genres in the history of Hollywood. Steering away from the rigidity and ideological determinism of traditional accounts of the genre, this book advocates a more flexible theory, which allows the student to explore the presence of the genre in unexpected places, extending the concept to encompass films that are not usually considered romantic comedies. Combining theory with detailed analyses of a selection of films, including To Be or Not to Be (1942), Rear Window (1954), Kiss Me Stupid (1964), Crimes and Misdemeanors (1989) and Before Sunset (2004), the book aims to provide a practical framework for the exploration of a key area of contemporary experience - intimate matters - through one of its most powerful filmic representations: the genre of romantic comedy. Original and entertaining, The secret life of romantic comedy is perfect for students and academics of film and film genre.

Daß sie Architektin werden würde – zu einer Zeit, als sich noch kaum jemand vorstellen konnte, sich von einer Frau ein Haus bauen zu lassen –, war Lotte Cohn, der späteren Doyenne der israelischen Architektur, nicht in die Wiege gelegt worden. Anders war es mit der familiären Mitgift des Zionismus. Eine antisemitische Verleumdungskampagne gegen ihren Vater, den Arzt Bernhard Cohn, hatte die ganze Berliner Großfamilie schon früh zu aktiven Anhängern Theodor Herzls werden lassen. Anfang der 1920er Jahre wanderte Lotte Cohn ins Land Israel ein – zu einer Zeit, als die große Mehrheit der deutschen Juden noch das politische Ziel einer »jüdischen Heimstätte« in Palästina ablehnte. Ines Sonder zeichnet den außergewöhnlichen Lebensweg Lotte Cohns aus dem zionistischen Milieu Berlins vor dem Ersten Weltkrieg zur ersten Architektin im Lande Israel nach. Ihre Biographie der deutschen Jüdin, Pionierin und Architektin Lotte Cohn (1893 - 1983) ist die Geschichte einer Frau, die maßgeblich am Aufbau Israels beteiligt war. »Wir gingen daran, unsere Welt zu formen.« (Lotte Cohn)

Recent years have witnessed an explosion of interest in the 'spatialities of cinema' across the social sciences and humanities, yet to date critical inquiry has tended to explore this issue as a question of the 'city' and the 'urban'. For the first time, leading scholars in geography, film and cultural studies have been drawn together to explore the multiple ways in ideas of cinema and countryside are co-produced: how 'film makes rural' and 'rural makes film'. From the expanse of the American great west to the mountainous landscapes of North Korea, Cinematic countrysides draws on a range of popular and alternative film genres to demonstrate how film texts come to prefigure expectations of rural social space, and how these representations come to shape, and be shaped by, the material and embodied circumstances of 'lived' rural experience. At the heart of this volume's varied apprehensions of the 'cinematic countryside' is a concern to argue that ideas of rurality in film are central to wider questions of 'modernity' and 'tradition', 'self' and 'other', 'nationhood' and 'globalisation', and crucially, ones that are central to an account of the 'cinematic city'.
