IHDP/Future Earth-Integrated Risk Governance Project Series

This book presents a detailed regional study of the Dongting Lake Area and explores potential avenues and challenges for future flood risk management in China.Focusing on dynamic changes in regional vulnerability to flooding and its relevance for flood risk management, it proposes a new construct of vulnerability based on the co-variance between the negative (exposure) and positive (response capacity) components. Further, it develops an historical approach, including trajectory analysis and a typology of vulnerability, offering insights into the regional dynamics of change. It is a valuable resource for disaster risk researchers and graduate students as well as flood management practitioners and policy-makers. Guoyi Han is a senior research fellow at the Stockholm Environment Institute in Sweden; both Associate Professor Ying Li and Professor Peijun Shi work at the Beijing Normal University in China.

Understanding the Regional Dynamics of Vulnerability

Genders and Sexualities in History

This book reorients our understanding of the history of modern male homosexuality by focusing on Europe's 'internal Other': Italy. Spanning from the tail-end of the Grand Tour to the mid-fascist years, it argues that Italy was a time/space in which competing epistemologies of homosexuality confronted one another – precisely what characterizes 'modern' male same-sex love and attraction. Turning our understanding of the history of male homosexuality on its head, it proposes that Italy was not primitive, pre-modern, or under-developed but modern in a way that Europe and the US were not. It also highlights the frequently overlooked role working-class men and boys played in the so-called invention of modern male homosexuality. The new scientific epistemologies of sexuality; a pan-European Hellenic revival; a tradition of fostering male same-sex intimacies that cut across age, class, and nationality; Italy's lack of anti-sodomy legislation and specific place in the capitalist world system, including the late entry of bourgeois women into its public sphere; changing understandings of sexuality and gender that resulted from industrialization -- all combined to produce a same-sex sex tourism industry that juxtaposed competing understandings of male same-sex love. These epistemologies were inflected in complex and contradictory ways by issues of gender, class, ethnicity, locality, age and race, such differences not simply 'intersecting' but being constituted alongside one another – particularly given Italy’s ambiguous racial identity, somewhere 'between' the binaries of black and white. Adopting a queer Marxist approach that focuses on both capitalism's long durée and its combined and uneven development, rather than center a history of modern homosexuality on the white bourgeois men who visited Italy, this book seeks to glimpse the lives of their Italian lovers. To this end, it adopts an interdisciplinary approach that examines a wide archive including not only works of literature by privileged white bourgeois traveling gentlemen but also Italian sexology; same-sex sex scandals and their treatment in the Italian press; anthropological work on Italian homosexualities; travel diaries; and police records.John Champagne is Professor Emeritus at Penn State Erie, the Behrend College, USA.

The Italian Vice, Italy and the Invention of Modern Male Homosexuality

The Seven Years' War, the Battle of Plassey won against the Nawab of Bengal, the acquisition of the Bengal Diwani Rights and the Act of Regulating set the stage for the Second British Empire in Asia between 1756 and 1773. These events and the growing settlements had brought an ever-increasing number of soldiers to Bengal and the other factories of India. The French had largely lost the geopolitical game in Asia, but remained numerous in Pondichéry and even in Bengal (Chandannagar).The cultural history of these major shifts in global power deserves more attention: an increase in the number of European libraries abroad is not surprising for either nation. But the British case is special: a very different form of high culture society was now established in Calcutta, with the first common law court of record ever established outside Britain, the Supreme Court. A long tradition and recent scholarship have largely clarified our ideas about how political-economic leaders like Warren Hastings and major scholars like William Jones supported and influenced the study of Persian and Sanskrit manuscripts and indigenous legal traditions at this moment. But the book also shows that at the same time, as Europe's population grew, a more standardized form of libraries and a Western reading culture emerged. With the arrival of more soldiers and company servants, a Western world canon began to form. This differed from the period up to 1750 in the Mediterranean and India, studied in the first volume&nbsp;Western Libraries and Reading, where a multiplicity of small libraries, individual in size and selection, prevailed. One of the first massive manifestations of this Western canon, with a particularly Franco-British character, can be traced in the serial documentation of post-mortem household inventories. The results of a first detailed analysis of the bestsellers of the late eighteenth century among Europeans in India until 1800 are surprising: A "world literature" in the ambiguous Goethean sense becomes visible, and almost no European medieval author survives (until nineteenth-century Romanticism). In today's world, a "Western canon" is usually criticized, debated, and decentered, and with good reason, but as a historical process, the impact of such an imported canon cannot be ignored. No one denies the strong dynamics of autonomous forms of print and reading culture now emerging simultaneously in Hindi, Tamil, Bengali, Urdu, and many other languages, sometimes hybridizing with British production. To some extent, however, it must also be acknowledged that British Bengal early on provided an immense space for this Western canon abroad, comparable ultimately only to the American East Coast.

Asia Pacific Modern

"Libraries in French colonial Vietnam functioned as symbols of Western modernity and infrastructures of colonial knowledge. Yet Vietnamese readers pursued alternative uses of the library that exceeded imperial intentions. Bibliotactics examines the Hanoi and Saigon state libraries from colonial to postcolonial Vietnam, uncovering the emergence of a colonial public who reimagined the political meaning and social space of the library through public critique and day-to-day practice. Comprising government bureaucrats, library personnel, journalists, and everyday library readers, this colonial public debated the role of libraries as educational resource, civilizing instrument, and literary heritage. Moving beyond procolonial or anticolonial nationalism framings, Bibliotactics advances a relational theory of power that centers public reading culture contextualized within the library infrastructure of the colonial information order. As the first comprehensive history of the colonial and national library in Asia, this book contributes new insights into publicity, colonial and postcolonial studies, and the histories of Vietnam, libraries, and information"--

This book examines the emergence of a new normal that has structured the lived experiences of individuals during the COVID-19 pandemic through a close reading of graphic medical texts from both digital and print sources. Interdisciplinary in scope and integrating theoretical insights from graphic medicine, health humanities, literary theory, and comics studies, this book scrutinises and interprets the experiences and perspectives of healthcare professionals, frontline workers, patients, and individuals from diverse backgrounds impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Through dedicated chapters on masking, sanitization, touch, and altered spatio-temporality, this book investigates the emotional, psychological, and sociocultural implications of these themes, highlighting both universally shared and contextually specific experiences. In particular, the book critically analyses comics that frame the pandemic beyond its immediate biological implications, thus providing readers with a framework to engage with and critically reflect on the COVID-19 crisis.Ishani Anwesha Joshi is an alumna of the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences at the National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli, India.

This book is contextualised by, makes connections to, and seeks to build on&nbsp;theory intersecting various fields: codes of women’s football globally; female&nbsp;sport participation globally; gender and sexuality studies; queer theory; and&nbsp;visual methods. Through showcasing women’s experiences of playing football, highlighting the ways in which players make sense of their gendered embodiment&nbsp;and performances, and exploring how gender is understood and regulated within&nbsp;the unique social context of a female football team, this book demonstrates why&nbsp;such discussions are crucial for advancing gender equality and theorization of&nbsp;genders in contemporary Western cultures. In giving voice to the lived experiences&nbsp;and perspectives of women who have and continue to play Australian Rules&nbsp;football, this book highlights the ongoing tensions, conflicts, contradictions, and&nbsp;absences of negotiating their passion for playing the game, the impact of gender&nbsp;on their playing experiences, and the significance of the social and cultural space&nbsp;of their &nbsp;football club to their lives. It provides a nuanced account of the&nbsp;power and significance of women’s social bonds in this space, explores how&nbsp;notions of female friendship and desire are caught up in heteronormative&nbsp;discourses, and engages in discussions of the ways in which genders, sexualities,&nbsp;desires, embodiments, and sociality are contested and negotiated among women&nbsp; 
in homosocial spaces. This book will be of interest to researchers, academics and students working and studying in the fields of gender and sexuality studies,&nbsp;queer theory, visual methodologies, sociology of sport, sports studies, female&nbsp;friendship, physical education, as well as those who play and work within codes&nbsp; 
of women’s football.

Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts entsteht die Erwartung, dass Konsumentscheidungen zu einer innovativen und freiheitlichen Gesellschaft beitragen. Die gestiegene Kaufkraft der Verbraucher und das stetig wachsende Warenangebot sollen eine Spirale des Wohlstands in Gang setzen. Die gängigen ökonomischen Lehren der Sparsamkeit eignen sich jedoch kaum, um das Verbraucherverhalten an den neuartigen Konsumkapitalismus anzupassen. Werbegestalter und Marketingexperten wollen daher psychologisches Wissen nutzen, um das Kaufverhalten zu motivieren. Damit geht auch eine reformulierte Konsumkritik einher, die vor der Fremdsteuerung der Verbraucher warnt. Ricardo Neuner analysiert, wie sozial- und kognitionspsychologische Ansätze bis in die 1980er Jahre zur Verbrauchersteuerung eingesetzt werden und fragt dabei auch nach den Konsequenzen für eine freie Gesellschaft und demokratische Politik.
