Religionswissenschaft

Religiöse Minderheiten und religiöse Mehrheiten lassen sich nicht durch Größe oder Merkmale kategorisieren, sondern werden durch Zuschreibungen bestimmt. Die Beiträger*innen fokussieren auf diese Zuschreibungen und die dadurch entstehenden Minderheiten-Mehrheiten-Konstellationen. Mit Blick auf plurale Gesellschaften der Gegenwart analysieren sie, was religiöse Minderheiten und Mehrheiten ausmacht, in welchem Verhältnis sie zueinander stehen und welche Folgen diskursive Bezugnahmen, Eigen- und Fremdbezeichnungen sowie Ein- und Ausschlüsse für die Selbstwahrnehmung, Konstituierung, Positionierung und Kommunikation religiöser Minderheiten haben.

 Windows Into the Soul: Surveillance and Society in an Age of High Technology
 &nbsp;‘Since Gary Marx's seminal work on undercover policing in America, there have been very few successful attempts to document the challenges and dilemmas with evidence and real insight. This work manages to do both and provide a unique window into the complex world of high policing.’ - &nbsp;

 &nbsp;‘A highly readable, thought-provoking – and at times controversial – analysis of the issues and dilemmas the use of covert investigatory powers gives rise to. A valuable contribution to the subject, which I commend anyone working or interested in the field to read.’ - 
 Simon McKay
 , barrister at Simon McKay Chambers, and author of 
 Covert Policing: Law and PracticeThis book explores how the police use covert techniques to investigate serious and organized crime. It draws on a two-year ESRC-funded ethnographic study of covert policing in an English police service, focusing on a secretive department known as “Specialist Operations”, whose main function is to conduct prolonged and intrusive investigations into serious and organized crime. The book examines how, and why, the police use of covert resources contains an intrinsic level of risk, which creates a series of dilemmas for practitioners. The book, then, provides a rich description of the bureaucratic and statutory frameworks that guide how the police use covert techniques. &nbsp;In the final chapter, the book develops a theory of control in covert police work that explains how, and when, this type of police work becomes prone to abuse. The book draws on direct observations of police officers at work, including observation of live operations, and makes an important contribution to the public debate about the function of the police in a democratic society.&nbsp;Shane Mac Giollabhuí

The Straight Mind

Why Big Labor moved to the right— and the fight ahead for the left to win back America’s working class Unions helped construct the American middle class, defeat Jim Crow, and advance progressive rights, but in Trump’s America, the labor movement is changing. In Big Labor's Big Shift, journalist Nathan Bomey explores how Big Labor and the working class are no longer an automatic ally of the American left. Fueled by decades of economic decline, political disillusionment, and cultural disenfranchisement, new politically nebulous and economically populist leaders in the movement are building a powerful new movement based on class warfare that prizes wage and benefit gains over traditional progressive priorities. Through original reporting and first-hand interviews, Bomey traces key events that have led to this political shift. Bomey reveals: -At the Teamsters, president Sean O’Brien is cozying up to Donald Trump and blasting Democrats as tools of big business, even showing up at the Republican National Convention to deliver his message. -At the United Auto Workers, president Shawn Fain is seizing an opportunity to break the free trade consensus in Washington. The devout Christian, who wields religious rhetoric from the stump, is aligning with the Trump White House on tariffs and blasting Democrats for aggressively pursuing electric vehicles to fight climate change. Bomey shows how the two interconnected phenomena represent a massive political realignment—not just along cultural and nationalism lines, but of the working class itself away from its historic roots in the Democratic party. Urgent and compelling, Big Labor's Big Shift encapsulates the fight for the soul of the union movement.

The Redesign of Progress

How do today's celebrities have the enormous power and influence to be able to push products and change minds? The dizzying proliferation of platforms, channels, and content formats in today's digital world has fed a ravenous market for celebrity culture. Companies fork out billions each year to hire celebrities and influencers to endorse products, brands, political figures, and charitable causes--because the right celebrity endorsement is worth its weight in gold. In The Golden Pitch, Martha Laham reveals how celebrities leverage their fame to drive consumer choices and sway opinions, and how companies harness this star power to move products and engage audiences. Through a vivid array of historical and contemporary examples and stories, she delves into the history of celebrity, society's fascination with fame, the use of influencer endorsements, the rise of the microcelebrity, and the future of fame and celebrity in the digital age. This in-depth look at the persuasive power of celebrities and influencers uncovers the roots of celebrity worship and illustrates the significant role that the media has played in fueling today's celebrity culture. With a thoughtful consideration of the next stage in the evolution of celebrity and influence, The Golden Pitch also charts the future of fame and how it will influence brands, advertising, politics, and more in the years to come.

How Celebrities and Influencers Shape the Way We Think, Feel, and Act

The Golden Pitch

A blueprint for how we can collectively build a thriving world, from a leading behavioural scientistEat healthily, cut back on alcohol, quit smoking, cycle to work, fly less - we all know what we should be doing. So why aren't we?The answer is both simple and radical: the world is stacked against us. From the moment we wake up, our decisions are shaped by the shops we visit, the streets we walk, the ads we scroll through. These environments are not neutral. They are designed for our convenience and immediate gratification, and to serve the interests of four industries: tobacco, ultra-processed food, alcohol and fossil fuels.Together, these industries drive the climate crisis, from greenhouse gas emissions to deforestation, and contribute to at least one in four deaths worldwide. Yet we are told the problem is one of personal responsibility - that with more information, smarter habits or new technologies, we can change our behaviour.This book challenges those myths. Drawing on decades of cutting-edge science and compelling case studies from around the world, leading behavioural scientist Theresa Marteau explores what actually works, and why those in power keep failing to act on the evidence. From taxing sugary drinks in Mexico to redesigning streets in Paris, from restricting junk food advertising in London to electing more women to office, Marteau shows how proven interventions applied at scale could transform our health and the health of our planet.Clear-eyed and incisive, this is an inspiring blueprint for how together, citizens and governments can push back against corporate power and build a better, brighter future.

How Four Industries Are Making Us Sick, and How We Can Reclaim Control

Pushback

Humanity's most spectacular era yet is increasingly within reach.So why are we doing everything we can to hold it back?The bestselling author of The Rational Optimist delivers a daring vision of the future - one that is potentially dazzling, but only if we stop sleepwalking into self-inflicted decline.We're on the brink of a truly spectacular explosion of productivity and prosperity, argues Matt Ridley, thanks to a combination of artificial intelligence, material science and genomic knowledge that is unprecedented in its scope and implications. With characteristic wit and ferocity, he confronts the irrational pessimism that dominates public discourse and examines the bureaucratic bloat, regulatory overreach, ideological superstition and crony capitalism that stand in the way.Optimistic in conclusion but unsparing in its analysis, The Flourishing is a rousing call to achieve and innovate by refusing to settle for a merely adequate future when a magnificent one is within reach.

The Rational Pessimist

Este libro de open access presenta una investigación de varios años sobre la violencia masiva basada en la identidad (IBMV, por sus siglas en inglés) en contextos urbanos. La obra explora las complejidades de la violencia estructural y aguda en las ciudades a partir de soluciones locales ancladas en la prevención de la violencia urbana, la prevención de atrocidades y la consolidación de la paz. Los autores presentan un enfoque multidimensional que aborda distintas expresiones de la violencia, como la violencia sexual y de género, la violencia racial y étnica, la violencia ejercida por pandillas o grupos armados, la violencia perpetrada por el Estado, la violencia política, la violencia contra los migrantes, entre otras formas. El volumen analiza la influencia desmesurada del poder tanto en la manera en que se comprende la violencia como en la forme en que se evalúan los resultados de las iniciativas de prevención. Los capítulos integran el análisis académico, las orientaciones prácticas y las experiencias de quienes han sufrido la IBMV o han sido testigos de ella. Esta obra está dirigida a socios y aliados —tanto del ámbito de las políticas como de la práctica— comprometidos con la reforma, así como a financiadores y colaboradores. Además, ofrece una base práctica para impulsar acciones colaborativas centradas en la prevención y para identificar oportunidades en materia de políticas públicas.Rachel Locke

Violencia masiva basada en la identidad en los contextos urbanos

Palgrave Studies in Victims and Victimology

This book tackles the widespread problem of Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV) in Nigerian tertiary institutions through a proactive, stakeholder-collaborated intervention that connects research, policy, and practice. Drawing on a national study called Acting Together, this book intentionally closes the gap from diagnosis to durable systems change. The project used a sequential mixed-methods design that involved large-scale quantitative surveying followed by focus group discussions, key informant interviews, and in-depth Interviews to anchor statistical trends in lived experience and institutional narratives. Unlike similar projects that focus on prevalence statistics and isolated interventions, this project foregrounds the systemic drivers of SGBV, ranging from personal, structural, and environmental factors, and then translates findings into multi-level actions. By engaging students, management, academic and non-academic staff, regulatory bodies, law enforcement, civil society, and community actors, the project demonstrates how coordinated stakeholder synergy amplifies impact. It further documents patterns of perpetration, institutional responses, and survivors’ pathways to care, enabling interventions that address how SGBV is experienced on campuses.Oluyemisi Oluremi Obilade

The Need for Collective Efforts

Combating Sexual and Gender-Based Violence in Tertiary Institutions

'Capitalism seems invincible and inevitable. It is neither. Clara Mattei illustrates brilliantly its fragility and restores hope that everything could be different' Yanis Varoufakis Economics is sold as pure and apolitical: scientific, neutral, exact. This urgent book exposes its true role: to convince us there's no alternative to capitalism. We live in a world dominated by the dogma that austerity is necessary, unemployment natural, endless wars inevitable and central banks all-powerful. It doesn't have to be this way. In her bold, ground-breaking manifesto, economist Clara E. Mattei tears the mask off our economic system. She unpacks key concepts like growth, inflation, unemployment and balanced budgets to show how they're weaponized to enforce market dependence, not freedom, stripping us of the power to shape the democratic decisions that govern our daily lives. Enduring problems such as poverty and inequality are not accidents or bugs in the economy, but core features - justified with pseudoscientific models to support a system that unfairly rewards people with the most resources. Why should we accept this? Capitalism, Mattei argues, isn't inevitable, scientific, or natural - it's a relatively young system that can be replaced. Inspired by a lineage of political resistance, Escape from Capitalism calls for us to challenge the broken economics of our times, and pave the way towards liberation.

Economics is Political, and Other Liberating Truths

Escape From Capitalism

*A New York Times Notable Book * A Financial Times Best Book of the Year 'A learned, formidable and vivid story... Readers around the world will study and ponder this monumental work of history, agreeing and arguing with it, all the while affirming its generational importance, for decades to come' The New York Times 'Epic... Read this book and you will learn innumerable things you did not previously know culled from places you have never been' Financial Times A brilliant global narrative that unravels the defining story of the past thousand years No other phenomenon has shaped human history as decisively as capitalism. It structures how we live and work, how we think about ourselves and others, how we organise our politics. Sven Beckert situates the story of capitalism within the largest conceivable geographical and historical framework in this fascinating new book.Capitalism, argues Beckert, was born global. Emerging from merchant communities across Asia, Africa and Europe, capitalism's radical recasting of economic life rooted itself only gradually. Then it burst onto the world scene, as European states and merchants built a powerful alliance that would propel them across the oceans. This epic drama corresponded at no point to an idealised dream of free markets. All along, state-backed institutions and imperial expansions shaped its dynamics.Capitalism decentres the European perspective, highlighting agency, resistance, innovation and ruthless coercion around the world through to the present with the rise of Asian economies, particularly China. Sven Beckert doesn't merely add up capitalism's debits and credits in this monumental book, but allows us to think afresh about the past to help us re-imagine the future.
