Bloomsbury Revelations

As relevant as it was at the time of publication, this landmark work remains timely and urgent in demonstrating how to examine questions of race, politics and crime in contemporary society. A formative text in cultural studies and criminology, it shows the relevance of conjunctural analysis to the current emergence of forms of authoritarian populist politics. Examining the crisis of the British state in the 1970s, the book explores how interacting economic, social and political conflicts and crises were displaced onto the problem of crime.

Now in the Bloomsbury Revelations series, this re-issue of the 35th Anniversary Edition includes a personal note from the authorsabout their co-author, the late Stuart Hall, and a brand new foreword by Michael Denning.

Routledge Food Studies

This book explores how food shapes urban identity, through people and practices, and reflects the cultural and social experiences of urban gastronomy.From streets to markets, from restaurants to home, Food Tourism in Urban Places is a way of experiencing cities, connecting with cultures and societies and participating in stories through places. Drawing on examples from around the world, including Uruguay, Italy, Japan, Georgia, Spain, South Africa, Denmark and New Zealand, this book combines multiple perspectives and theoretical drivers, from foodscapes and museums' narratives to gastrodiplomacy and somaesthetics, slow food and regenerative tourism. It demonstrates how food tourism is both universal and locally specific, connecting tradition and innovation, and ordinary and extraordinary experiences as part of a dialogue between everyday life and tourism. Looking forward, this book highlights the importance of indigenous knowledge and sustainability for the future of urban food experiences. Drawing on food through visual, sensory and participatory methods, readers are invited to see, taste and feel the cities to discover how food becomes a language of communication, identity and transformation.This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of food studies, gastronomy, hospitality and tourism, cultural anthropology, human geography and urban development. This book will also appeal to readers outside academia with an interest in food, tourism and urban culture.

Food Tourism in Urban Places

In a world where ideological tensions are more divisive than ever, this book challenges traditional conceptions of conservatism, advocating a return to its philosophical and humanistic roots. Drawing on the debates that arose with the French Revolution, the author reflects on the evolution of conservative thought and its current confrontation with progressive forces. The text offers a passionate defense of traditions, cultural heritage, and the spiritual connection that give depth to our lives. However, it also recognizes the dangers of dogma and prejudice that can arise from blind adherence to any ideology. In a scholarly but accessible tone, the author guides the reader through the ideas of classical thinkers such as Burke, Tocqueville, Nietzsche, and Arendt, exploring how their reflections can shed light on the challenges of the present. IS IT POSSIBLE TO RECONCILE CONSERVATIVE HUMANISM WITH HEGEMONIC PROGRESSIVISM? This book is not only for conservatives; in fact, the author invites progressives who seek to understand the values underlying authentic conservative ideas. It is a call to rediscover a balance between human aspirations for freedom, reason, and tolerance, and the need for humility, caution, and connection with the transcendental. An essential work for those who wish to explore the deep roots of our ideological divisions and find a path to mutual understanding.

Oñati International Series in Law and Society

What are the different institutional, intellectual and biographical trajectories in socio-legal studies, and how can they be compared? This book brings together scholars from across Europe to reflect on the socio-political, legal and academic contexts in which they became the academics they are today. The chapters link individual scholars to the historical and contemporary factors that have shaped or influenced their work and careers - a novel approach that combines scholarly self-reflection with a historical perspective on the development of socio-legal studies between law and the social sciences. The editors provide a heuristic framework for comparing and making sense of these different, dual trajectories, and show how professional scholarly biographies can be both contextualised and analysed with a view to shedding light on broader academic fields, both nationally and internationally.

Socio-Legal Trajectories Across Europe

I.I. Rubin was the most important economist in the Soviet Union in the 1920s and is still influential today in Marxian scholarship around the world. This book presents assessments of Rubin's legacy for Marxian scholarship by 10 Marx scholars from six different countries and will be essential reading for Marx-Rubin scholars going forward. The main controversy continues to be the relative significance of production and circulation in the determination of the value of commodities. A majority of authors in this book conclude that Rubin's predominant view in the later editions of his book was that value is determined in production and realized in circulation, which is contrary to the popular value-form interpretation of Rubin's book.

Routledge Research in Human Rights Law

This book offers a comprehensive study of the European Court of Human Rights jurisprudence on rent controls. It examines how the Court has balanced the right to property under the Convention against states responsibilities to secure affordable housing. By analysing both landmark and lesser-known cases, the book seeks to define the parameters of legality in rent control, clarifying the thresholds at which such measures constitute violations, the standards of compensation applied, and the remedial action expected of states. Readers will benefit from a detailed account that bridges legal doctrine and housing policy debates. The work clarifies the limits imposed by the Convention on states' discretion to regulate rents and provides concrete insights into how the Court's evolving jurisprudence influences both national reforms and the broader discourse on the balance between property rights and social welfare. The book will be of interest to scholars and practitioners of property law, human rights law, and housing law, while also appealing to researchers in housing policy, economics, and urban studies who seek to understand the legal boundaries shaping rental market regulation. It will be of particular interest to academics working on European housing policy and to lawyers dealing with constitutional and human rights litigation.

Routledge Studies in the Fashion Industry

This book explores what happens when fashion discourse migrates from specialised media to mainstream newspapers. Analysis of 2,263 texts across five Dutch and international case studies (animal welfare, disability, repair practices, smart wearables, and metaverse fashion) demonstrates systematic reversal: instead of creating desire, it provokes aversion; instead of fostering inclusion, it reinforces marginalisation; instead of encouraging creativity, it stokes speculative investment appetites.Drawing on Barthes's semiology of fashion, Foucault's discourse theory, and Lotman's concept of the semiosphere, the book introduces critical discursive matrix analysis as a method for examining fashion at its periphery. The findings reveal that when fashion intersects with social issues in mainstream media, it becomes colonised by other discursive systems - medical, civic, technology, and financial - while fashion industry voices retreat, replaced by NGOs, activists, and technology companies pursuing non-fashion agendas. The volume provides insights into why sustainability efforts fail despite awareness, how media representation shapes consumer behaviour, and why fashion discourse cannot evolve within its commercial framework.Public Discourse and the Fashion Industry will engage a diverse audience, including fashion studies scholars, discourse analysts, media researchers, sustainability practitioners, policymakers, fashion industry strategists, and communication specialists.

Public Discourse and the Fashion Industry

Police Ethics: The Corruption of Noble Cause, Fifth Edition, provides an analysis of corruption in law enforcement organizations. The authors argue that the noble cause - a commitment to "doing something about bad people" - is a central "ends-based" police ethic. This fundamental principle of police ethics can paradoxically open the way to community polarization and increased violence, however, when officers violate the law on behalf of personally held moral values. This book is about the power that police use to do their work and how it can lead police officers to abuse their positions at the individual and organizational levels. It provides students of policing with a realistic understanding of the kinds of problems they will confront in the practice of police work. This new edition offers police administrators direction for developing agency-wide corruption prevention strategies through an application of the Model of Circumstantial Corruptibility. In response to recent issues affecting the relationship between police departments and minority communities, like the Black Lives Matter organization and the death of George Floyd, this new edition provides workable solutions. Finally, this edition contains a discussion on what might be an emerging trend in American policing the authors call the over-politicization of the policing function.

Looking at how austerity has become embedded in institutional practices, this book offers new critical insights into the uneven geographies created by austerity. Reflecting on the spatially and socially uneven impacts of austerity on individuals and families, Julie MacLeavy shows how the 'new normal' of post-welfare state governance will negatively condition life chances, even in better economic times. She considers the political, economic and social developments that have led us to the present moment and shows how the rhetoric of austerity has pushed social inequality and uneven development off the political agenda.

“Lively. . . . Rousing. . . . Prophecy—roving, intelligent, irreducibly idiosyncratic—can expand our sense of possibility, starting now.” —The New York Times Book Review Tech empires are the prophets of the modern day, and like the ancient oracles and medieval astrologers that preceded them, they're not in it for the common good—they're in it for power. Award-winning University of Oxford professor Carissa Véliz&nbsp;brilliantly argues why we must reclaim that power, and shows us how. “A masterpiece. . . . The most important book you will read for years.” —Roger McNamee, New York Times bestselling author of Zucked For thousands of years, oracles, seers, and astrologers advised leaders and commoners alike about the future. But predictions are often power plays in disguise, obfuscating accountability and stripping individuals of their agency. Today we face the same threat of powerful prophets but under a new facade: tech. Not only do modern predictions made by tech companies advise on war, industry, and marriages, but artificial intelligence also now determines whether we can get a loan, a job, an apartment, or an organ transplant. And when we cede ground to these predictions, we lose control of our own lives. Drawing on history’s cautionary tales and modern-day tech companies’ malfeasance—from surveillance and biased algorithms to a startling lack of accountability—Carissa Véliz demonstrates that big tech’s prophecies are just as shallow, dangerous, and unjust as their ancient counterparts’. What she uncovers in the process is chilling. Artificial intelligence is increasing risk in business and society while creating a false sense of security. In this incisive, witty, and bracingly original book, Véliz contends that the main promise of prediction is not knowledge of the future but domination over others. Powerful people use predictions to determine our future. Prophecy is an invitation to defy those orders and live life on our own terms.
