India Studies in Business and Economics

This book showcases the work of Annapurna Pariwar, an NGO comprising six organizations, over the past 30 years and its impact on changing the lives of low-income working women with small businesses in the slums of Mumbai and Pune in the Indian state of Maharashtra. This group of six organizations together forms a social enterprise, established at a time of major changes in the Indian economy in the form of globalization and urbanization. The NGO set out to address issues of livelihood and poverty alleviation in slums. Adopting a path that was sustainable and did not depend upon grants, the journey is a fascinating account of learnings in organizational evolution and its impact on the lives of poor women.The book is divided into two parts. The first part has three chapters charting the journey of Annapurna Pariwar based on interviews with Medha Tai, the founder of Annapurna Pariwar. These chapters discuss milestones, organizational evolution, and challenges, especially demonetization and COVID-19. The lifecycle of the organization and of the women in the case studies are juxtaposed within the framework of financial, physical, sociocultural, and political spaces. The second part of the book contains analyses from well-known authors and academics who contextualize the relevance of Annapurna Pariwar’s work and future against microfinance, microinsurance, plus services, social entrepreneurship, digitization, and urban landscapes. The book thus contributes not only to the practice-field; it has several academic contributions as well for researchers studying social phenomena such as social entrepreneurship, microfinance, cooperatives, women empowerment, and women entrepreneurship. While doing so, it addresses SDGs such as SDG3, SDG5, SDG8, and SDG11. The book is for a wide audience, comprising social entrepreneurs in the field of social development, microfinance, and microinsurance. It is of relevance to business schools and educational institutions which offer courses on social entrepreneurship and development studies.

Building Pathways to Women’s Empowerment

Der Tausch hat eine zentrale Bedeutung für die Zivilisationsgeschichte, die das Buch bis in die Gegenwart verfolgt und vor dem Hintergrund der ökologischen Krise kritisch reflektiert. Ursprünglich aus dem Ritus entstanden, reichen die Spuren seiner vielfältigen historischen Aufgaben bis in die Marktwirtschaft der Gegenwart. Das kulturökonomische Anliegen des Buches nutzt kunsthistorische und literaturwissenschaftliche Ansätze und ist sowohl wirtschaftshistorischer wie auch geistesgeschichtlicher Art. So maß die europäische Aufklärung dem Tausch eine Bedeutung bei auf dem Weg in die republikanische Zukunft. Als psychophysischer Zwang sollte er die arbeitende Bevölkerung zur Emsigkeit erziehen und die wirtschaftende Gesellschaft auf den Wohlfahrtspfad führen. 
Zwischen diesen Anfangsgründen der Marktwirtschaftslehre und der Ökonomik heute liegen Welten, die sich durch gegensätzliche Perspektiven auf den Tausch unterscheiden. Plural fächert das Buch sie auf und sieht die Chance für einen heterodox-ökonomischen Ansatz in der Fokussierung auf die diversen Masken der Identität, die der Tausch dem Subjekt der Geschichte aufsetzt. Sie entstammen seiner kontinuierlichen Kooperation mit der Religion, dem Gemeinsinn, der Arbeit und Sprache. 
Wie könnte eine neue Form des Tauschens aussehen, die aus der ökologischen Katastrophe herausführt? Die überbordende Kommerzialisierung und Kommodifizierung werden von vielen als kritisch empfunden und für die ökologische Katastrophe mitverantwortlich gemacht. Die Antwort ist das Ziel des Buches.

Markt und Maske

How visual fantasies of violence, animality, and political agency offered an alternative image of masculinity during the Enlightenment &nbsp; Centering on animal bodies and assertive masculinity, the visual strategies of hunting art may appear incongruent with our understanding of Rococo aesthetics and the early Enlightenment. But these themes, embraced with enthusiasm by artists and patrons, inspired artworks in every genre and medium in eighteenth-century France. As the country expanded its colonial empire, the absolute monarchy existed in tension with ambitious elites, and the Enlightenment eroded old certainties about selfhood and society, hunting art provided a visual language of personal and national sovereignty written with bodies of men and animals. Amy Freund revises our received notions of eighteenth-century French art and culture, confronting us with a visual culture of animality, violence, and death: a Rococo of dogs and guns. &nbsp; Noble Beasts highlights the work of François Desportes, Jean-Baptiste Oudry, and others who, operating from the heart of institutions such as the Royal Academy and the Gobelins manufactory, produced an astonishing volume of highly accomplished work. The book draws on the critical frameworks of human-animal studies and on Enlightenment philosophical debates to explore how and why hunting art’s aesthetic and political claims blurred the lines between human and animal.

Transidentitas e.V. zählt zu den frühen Organisationsformen transpolitischer Selbsthilfe in der Bundesrepublik. Dieses wissenschaftliche Fachbuch untersucht Entstehung, Strukturen und Handlungsspielräume des Vereins und rekonstruiert seine Rolle innerhalb regionaler und überregionaler Netzwerke. Im Zentrum stehen Akteurinnen, Kommunikationswege und Medienpraktiken - von internen Rundbriefen und Vereinsheften bis zur Beziehung zu zeitgenössischen Initiativen und Verbänden. Die Analyse verbindet mikrohistorische Vereinsgeschichte mit zeithistorischer Kontextualisierung: Entwicklungen im Transsexuellengesetz, medizinische Begutachtungspraxen, AIDS-Krise, neue soziale Bewegungen und mediale Repräsentationen werden als Bedingungen von Mobilisierung und Sichtbarkeit diskutiert. Methodisch basiert das Buch auf Quellenkritik, Archivrecherche und oral history; sie macht zugleich die Grenzen der Überlieferung transparent. So entsteht eine fundierte Darstellung, die Transidentitas nicht als isoliertes Phänomen, sondern als Knotenpunkt eines sich wandelnden Feldes von Selbstorganisation, Wissensproduktion und Politik begreift

Transidentitas

This book explores violence in Latin America societies and its social representations in cinema. Just as mass media can legitimize and reproduce patterns and discourses of discrimination, they can also serve to raise awareness and change minds about social issues such as violence and thus enhance citizen participation in social change. This book explores how Latin American cinema portrays its diverse societies, offering theoretical perspectives and research methods for analysing film narratives within their social contexts. The book makes a significant contribution to our understanding of the global logics of production and social reproduction of violence in a twentieth-century context, and it discusses issues of civilisation — barbarism and decolonisation in the Global South. It demonstrates that the visibility of violence and vulnerable groups on the screen can make an impact far beyond academia, shaping public opinion regarding these issues and influencing the audiences. It speaks to social sciences academics and researchers specialising in Latin American studies, media psychology, film studies, and cultural criminology.

Screening Shadows

This volume tackles the pressing issue of online violence against academics, considering the diverse forms that cyberbullying and harassment can take, as well as their likely targets. Offering both theorizations of the phenomenon and a series of empirical case studies, it maps out possible countermeasures for creating a more resilient academic environment.The collection not only identifies the types of attacks and likely targets but also offers practical, evidence-based countermeasures to mitigate online violence. It fills a crucial gap in scholarship by exploring the intersections of online violence, gender, and minority experiences within the academic realm. Its unique contribution lies in its synthesis of empirical research, personal narratives, and practical recommendations, providing readers with a holistic understanding of the issue and moving beyond mere documentation to actively engage with the pressing question of how academia can foster a more inclusive and resilient environment.It will appeal to scholars across the social sciences with interests in the sociology of work, scholarly careers, the challenges facing social researchers and issues of academic freedom.

(Un)Silencing Academia in Times of Epistemic Conflicts

Ein Lehrbuch für das inter- und transdisziplinäre Studium

Methoden in den Gender Studies

Dieses Buch entfaltet Beziehungsanarchie als politisches und emanzipatorisches Konzept jenseits von Monogamie, Polyamorie und offenen Beziehungen. Es verbindet feministische, queere und anarchistische Theorie mit persönlicher Reflexion und praktischen Werkzeugen. Ausgehend von der Kritik gesellschaftlicher Beziehungsnormen - Besitzlogik, Hierarchie, Heteronormativität und kapitalistischer Verwertbarkeit - entwickelt die Autorin eine Ethik der Freiheit, Verantwortung und Fürsorge. Beziehungsanarchie erscheint hier nicht als Beziehungsmodell, sondern als Haltung: eine Praxis der Selbstbestimmung und Solidarität im Intimen wie im Kollektiven. Das Buch führt von theoretischen Grundlagen über Dekonstruktion und Alltagswerkzeugen bis hin zu kollektiven Perspektiven und einem abschließenden Manifest. Es lädt dazu ein, Liebe nicht länger als Privatsache zu begreifen, sondern als Ort gesellschaftlicher Transformation - hin zu Beziehungen, die frei, fürsorglich und widerständig sind.

"Beziehungsweise Anarchie" will nicht nur informieren, sondern inspirieren. Es regt an, Beziehungen jenseits von Drehbüchern zu gestalten und damit im Kleinen zu beginnen, was im Großen Veränderung bedeutet.

Classroom Companion: Economics

This book provides a technical and critical examination of the cultural system within a shifting social and economic landscape. From the late-industrial era to the uncertain framework of today, where values, priorities, and the role of the arts are undergoing profound transformations, this book addresses the evolving dynamics of culture and economy.


The traditional debate in cultural economics oscillates between two extremes: a "specialist" view, which isolates the arts as the domain of experts, and an "ordinary" view, which reduces them to mere commodities subject to market forces. Both perspectives fail to capture the true essence of the arts and their complex cultural value.


Historically, the arts derived their cultural value from their semantic, symbolic, and aesthetic resonance. However, with the advent of industrialization, their role was often reduced to serving the bourgeoisie’s quest for legitimacy and status. As the societal structures and value hierarchies of that era dissolve, contemporary society—with its cosmopolitan, conflict-laden, and rapidly changing challenges—requires a fresh understanding of cultural value. It no longer centers on conventional notions of beauty or exclusivity but instead prioritizes inclusivity, relevance, accessibility and sustainability.

This book explores the arts' ability to create a dynamic cultural value chain in this emerging society.

In such a framework, the arts are a stock of unique assets, and the cultural value chain is the flow of benefits generated by the critical dialogue between supply and demand.

By critically analyzing conventional economic interpretations that simplify and overlook the complexities of cultural value, the book delves into the cultural system as a network of relationships, interactions, and synergies. It offers insights into how the cultural value chain is generated and its enduring impact on both society and the economy, emphasizing the intricate interplay between culture and contemporary societal values.

Object Lessons

Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things. In the hierarchy of foods, snacks are deemed trivial - perhaps even childish - especially in contrast to meals, which are seen as substantial and necessary. The multiple aisles devoted to sweet and savory treats in supermarkets, and the availability of snacks even at places like home improvement and department stores, speak to the popularity of snacking. But the ubiquity of snacks is relatively new and not common to all countries. Eurie Dahn traces the story of snacking culture through specific snacks, including Flamin' Hot Cheetos, cheese crackers, and Choco Pies, and in the contexts of ethnicity, popular culture, diet culture, and even parenting. Snack is an idiosyncratic cultural history that offers surprisingly filling food for thought.
