The delivery of effective family support is a key global child welfare issue, yet there is little consensus on what constitutes family support or what the best ways are to evaluate it. Evaluating Family Support: Thinking Internationally, Thinking Critically offers a full review of the conceptual and operational problems involved in this complex and topical field. Ilan Katz and John Pinkerton have brought together a team of experienced child care policy analysts and evaluators to present the current state of critical thinking alongside detailed international case studies. The chapters offer revealing glimpses into the nature of family support across the world, as well as an overview of the challenges facing both practitioners and researchers.

Over-consumption is one of the key issues of our time, especially in the Western world. Over the past decade, in the face of historically unprecedented levels of consumer spending in the West – and the more recent impact of recession – a vigorous politics of anti-consumerism has emerged in a range of wealthy nations. This timely and original new book provides a comprehensive overview and analysis of what has come to be called the 'new politics of consumption'; a politics embodied in movements such as culture jamming, simple living, slow food and fair trade. The book offers an examination of anti-consumerism at a time when the idea of 'consumer excess' is being re-framed by a global economic downturn, and crucially explores what this means for the future of political debate. Drawing on interviews with activists across three continents, and offering a refreshingly accessible discussion of contemporary commentary and theory, Kim Humphery sympathetically explores anti-consumerism as cultural interpretation, lifestyle change, and collective action. Whilst analysing the positive advances of the anti-consumerist movement, Excess also challenges contemporary critical thinking on consumption, taking issue with the return to theories of mass culture in contemporary anti-consumerist polemic. Alternatively, Humphery begins to forge a politics of anti-consumerism that addresses the complexity of material acquisition and which avoids treating consumers as mere dupes in the logic of capitalism, viewing them instead as active participants in a culture which is capable of transformation.

En la societat actual, ning? no queda exempt del risc d'exclusi? i tothom pot acabar sense sostre.

Exhibitionismus ist, wenn man es als lustvoll erlebt, von anderen (meist fremden) Personen nackt oder bei sexuellen Aktivit?ten beobachtet zu werden. Die sich entbl??enden Personen erfreuen sich dabei an den Reaktionen der anderen und m?gen den Reiz des ungew?hnlichen, gesellschaftlich anst??igen Verhaltens. Viele ziehen daraus eine Best?tigung f?r sich und ihren K?rper, da sie den Mut dazu aufbringen sich so zu zeigen dass sie die Blicke anderer auf sich ziehen.
In diesem Bildband geht es um Freizeitaktivit?ten, bei der jegliche Kleidung (fast) ?berfl?ssig ist. Tauchen Sie ein in eine Welt mit viel nackter Haut. Wo Menschen es wagen, Tabus zu brechen. Ob sie ihre masochistische Ader in der ?ffentlichkeit ausleben, ob sie sp?rlich bekleidet Schlammb?der nehmen. Oder ob sie nur mit Farbe auf der Haut an sogenannten Nude-Bike-Rides teilnehmen. Bewundern sie all diese exhibitionistischen jungen Frauen in diesen Bildband.

Este libro aborda el problema de la evoluci?n econ?mica argentina en los ?ltimos ciento veinte a?os, compar?ndola con la de otras naciones de diferentes lugares del planeta y con diferentes grados de desarrollo. Ilustra desde distintos puntos de vista el deterioro comparado, indaga en los culpables internos y externos y pone fechas a los principales hitos de ca?da. Al final, indaga sobre las causas y elabora un inventario incompleto, sujeto a revisi?n y discusi?n. Tal vez no sea una lectura agradable para los argentinos, porque habla de decadencia econ?mica, de deterioro y de culpas. Destila cierta angustia y desencanto porque est? hablando de nosotros mismos. Cierta pena por nuestra incapacidad de generar proyectos comunes que definan una identidad nacional, m?s all? de los tenues y pasajeros acuerdos que queremos encontrar en la m?sica, la comida, la literatura o el deporte. Contiene muchas expectativas pero tambi?n muchos espejos, por eso puede no resultar placentero. A pesar de todo, el ?ltimo cap?tulo pretende sembrar alguna semilla de optimismo, por lo menos contribuyendo a la identificaci?n de las causas del deterioro econ?mico que se describe. Por eso espero que resulte ?til y contribuya a hacernos pensar en la diferencia entre lo que creemos ser y lo que en realidad somos.

Normativity is what gives reasons their force, makes words meaningful, and makes rules and laws binding. It is present whenever we use such terms as ‘correct,' ‘ought,' ‘must,' and the language of obligation, responsibility, and logical compulsion. Yet normativists, the philosophers committed to this idea, admit that the idea of a non-causal normative realm and a body of normative objects is spooky. Explaining the Normative is the first systematic, historically grounded critique of normativism. It identifies the standard normativist pattern of argument, and shows how this pattern depends on circularities, assumptions about the unique correctness of preferred descriptions, problematic transcendental arguments, and regress arguments that end in mysteries. The book considers in detail a paradigm case: legal normativity as constructed by Hans Kelsen. This case exemplifies the problems with normativist arguments. But it also shows how normativism was constructed as an alternative to ordinary social science explanation. The normativist argument is that social science explanations themselves are forced to rely on normative concepts?minimally, on normative rationality and on a normative view of ‘concepts' themselves. Empathic understanding of the reasoning and meanings of others, however, can solve the regress problems about meaning and rationality that are central to the appeal of normativism. This account has no need for a parallel normative world, and has a surprising and revealing lineage in the history of philosophy, as well as a basis in neuroscience.

It is a wake-up call to us all’ SUNDAY TIMESFrom award-winning journalist, Camilla Cavendish, comes a profound analysis of one of the biggest challenges facing the human population today.The world is undergoing a dramatic demographic shift. By 2020, for the first time in history, the number of people aged 65 and over will outnumber children aged five and under. But our systems are lagging woefully behind this new reality. In Extra Time, Camilla Cavendish embarks on a journey to understand how different countries are responding to these unprecedented challenges.Travelling across the world in a carefully researched and deeply human investigation, Cavendish contests many of the taboos around ageing. Interviewing leading scientists about breakthroughs that could soon transform the quality and extent of life, she sparks a debate about how governments, businesses, doctors, the media and each one of us should handle the second half of life. She argues that if we take a more positive approach, we should be able to reap the benefits of a prolonged life. But that will mean changing our attitudes and using technology, community, even anti-ageing pills, to bring about a revolution.

Die Steuerung, F?hrung und Kontrolle von ?ffentlichen Unternehmen – auch bekannt unter dem Begriff «Public Corporate Governance» – ist ein aktuelles und wichtiges Thema. Dies zeigt schon die Tatsache, dass die Kantone der Schweiz rund 1000 Beteiligungen an 600 Unternehmen halten. Wie sollen diese Beteiligungen beaufsichtigt und kontrolliert werden, ohne ihre unternehmerische Autonomie ?berm?ssig einzuschr?nken? Wie k?nnen die Vorteile einer Verselbst?ndigung genutzt werden, ohne den politischen Einfluss aufzugeben? Literatur und Studien zur Public Corporate Governance enthalten nur selten konkrete Angaben, wie die in der Praxis auftauchenden Probleme gel?st werden sollen. Mitglieder des Parlaments, der Exekutive und Kadermitarbeiter in der Verwaltung finden deshalb oft keine Antworten auf ihre Fragen im Zusammenhang mit der Corporate Governance von ?ffentlichen Unternehmen.

Facebook has fundamentally changed how the world connects. No other company has played a greater role in the history of social networking online. Yet Facebook is no longer simply a social networking site or social media platform. Facebook is Facebook. Taina Bucher shows how Facebook has become an idea of its own: something that cannot be fully described using broader categories. Facebook has become so commonplace that most people have a conception of what it is, yet it increasingly defies categorization. If we want to understand Facebook's power in contemporary society and culture, Bucher argues, we need to start by challenging our widespread conception of what Facebook is. Tracing the development and evolution of Facebook as a social networking site, platform, infrastructure and advertising company, she invites readers to consider Facebook anew. Contrary to the belief that nobody uses Facebook anymore, Facebook has never been more powerful. This timely book is important reading for students and scholars of media and communication, as well as anyone seeking to understand the Facebook phenomenon.

The emergence of modern sciences in the seventeenth century profoundly renewed our understanding of nature. For the last three centuries new ideas of nature have been continually developed by theology, politics, economics, and science, especially the sciences of the material world. The situation is even more unstable today, now that we have entered an ecological mutation of unprecedented scale. Some call it the Anthropocene, but it is best described as a new climatic regime. And a new regime it certainly is, since the many unexpected connections between human activity and the natural world oblige every one of us to reopen the earlier notions of nature and redistribute what had been packed inside. So the question now arises: what will replace the old ways of looking at nature? This book explores a potential candidate proposed by James Lovelock when he chose the name 'Gaia' for the fragile, complex system through which living phenomena modify the Earth. The fact that he was immediately misunderstood proves simply that his readers have tried to fit this new notion into an older frame, transforming Gaia into a single organism, a kind of giant thermostat, some sort of New Age goddess, or even divine Providence. In this series of lectures on 'natural religion,' Bruno Latour argues that the complex and ambiguous figure of Gaia offers, on the contrary, an ideal way to disentangle the ethical, political, theological, and scientific aspects of the now obsolete notion of nature. He lays the groundwork for a future collaboration among scientists, theologians, activists, and artists as they, and we, begin to adjust to the new climatic regime.

From the National Book Award-winning author of the bravedeeply humaneopen-minded, critically informed, and poetic (The New York Times) The Noonday Demon, comes a game-changer of a book about the impact of extreme personal and cultural difference between parents and children.A brilliant and utterly original thinker, Andrew Solomons journey began from his experience of being the gay child of straight parents. He wondered how other families accommodate children who have a variety of differences: families of people who are deaf, who are dwarfs, who have Down syndrome, who have autism, who have schizophrenia, who have multiple severe disabilities, who are prodigies, who commit crimes, who are transgender. Bookended with Solomons experiences as a son, and then later as a father, this book explores the old adage that says the apple doesnt fall far from the tree; instead some apples fall a couple of orchards away, some on the other side of the world.      In twelve sharply observed and moving chapters, Solomon describes individuals who have been heartbreaking victims of intense prejudice, but also stories of parents who have embraced their childrens differences and tried to change the worlds understanding of their conditions. Solomons humanity, eloquence, and compassion give a voice to those people who are never heard. A riveting, powerful take on a major social issue, Far from the Tree offers far-reaching conclusions about new families, academia, and the way our culture addresses issues of illness and identity.

The modern world is faced with a terrifying new ‘disease’, that of ‘obesity’. As people get fatter, we have come to see excess weight as unhealthy, morally repugnant and socially damaging. Fat it seems has long been a national problem and each age, culture and tradition have all defined a point beyond which excess weight is unacceptable, ugly or corrupting. This fascinating new book by Sander Gilman looks at the interweaving of fact and fiction about obesity, tracing public concern from the mid-nineteenth century to the modern day. He looks critically at the source of our anxieties, covering issues such as childhood obesity, the production of food, media coverage of the subject and the emergence of obesity in modern China. Written as a cultural history, the book is particularly concerned with the cultural meanings that have been attached to obesity over time and to explore the implications of these meanings for wider society. The history of these debates is the history of fat in culture, from nineteenth-century opera to our global dieting obsession. Fat, A Cultural History of Obesity is a vivid and absorbing cultural guide to one of the most important topics in modern society.

This new book integrates material drawn from a variety of sources – feminist theory, cultural and literary analysis, sociology and art history – in an original discussion of women's relationship to modern and post-modern culture. The essays in the book challenge the continuing separation of sociological from textual analysis in cultural (and feminist) theory and enquiry. They address critically the question of women's writing, exploring the idea that women may begin to define their own lives and construct their identities in a patriarchal culture through the very process of writing. They also present a cogent defence of a feminist cultural politics, including a politics of the body.

It offers a clear introduction to, and balanced assessment of, the theoretical and practical issues raised by the development of a feminist anthropology. Henrietta Moore situates the development of a feminist approach in anthropology within the context of the discipline, examining the ways in which women have been studied in anthropology – as well as the ways in which the study of gender has influenced the development of the discipline anthropology. She considers the application of feminist work to key areas of anthropological research, and addresses the question of what social anthropology has to contribute to contemporary feminism. Throughout the book Henrietta Moore's analysis is informed by her own extensive fieldwork in Africa and by her concern to develop anthropological theory and method by means of feminist critique. This book will be of particular value to students in anthropology, women's studies and the social sciences.

The relationship between feminism and ecology has grown in importance in recent years. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the ecofeminist movement and its history, as well as an extended analysis of the main perspectives within it. Mellor examines the connections between feminism and the green movement, and outlines the contributions of the major participants, while contextualizing them within a wider range of debates. She re-examines classic feminist texts from an ecofeminist perspective, and explores the relationship between ecofeminism and other ecological movements, such as 'deep' ecology, social ecology and ecosocialism. Mellor discusses the association of women with biology and 'nature', and argues that the relationship between women and the environment can help us to understand the relationship between humanity and the natural world. Against the trends towards radical economic liberalism, global capitalism and postmodernist pluralism, she argues that there is within the feminist and green movements the basis of a new radical movement which draws on the principles of both. A useful and engaging account of feminist perspectives on ecology, the book will be welcomed by students and researchers in feminism and gender studies, sociology and political theory.

In this important new book the leading philosopher Jacques Ranci?re continues his reflections on the representative power of works of art. How does art render events that have spanned an era? What roles does it assign to those who enacted them or those who were the victims of such events? Ranci?re considers these questions in relation to the works of Claude Lanzmann, Goya, Manet, Kandinsky and Barnett Newman, among others, and demonstrates that these issues are not only confined to the spectator but have greater ramifications for the history of art itself. For Ranci?re, every image, in what it shows and what it hides, says something about what it is permissible to show and what must be hidden in any given place and time. Indeed the image, in its act of showing and hiding, can reopen debates that the official historical record had supposedly determined once and for all. He argues that representing the past can imprison history, but it can also liberate its true meaning.

Die Rezeption von Filmen und Fernsehsendungen ist sowohl vom Wissen und den Emotionen der Zuschauer als auch von sozialen Kontexten abh?ngig. Es reicht daher nicht aus, die «Sprache» von Film und Fernsehen zu analysieren, sondern es m?ssen auch die Form, die Gestaltung, die Dramaturgie und der Inhalt auf die Kontexte der Rezeption bezogen werden.
Dieses Standardwerk von Lothar Mikos ist eine erprobte Anleitung zur Durchf?hrung von Film- und Fernsehanalysen, inklusive aktueller Entwicklungen wie Transmedia Storytelling oder 3D-Film. Mit aufschlussreichen
Beispielanalysen zu «Herr der Ringe», «Terminator», «Game of Thrones», «Germany's Next Topmodel» sowie Filmen des «Marvel Cinematic Universe».
Prof. Dr. Lothar Mikos lehrt Medien- und Kommunikationswissenschaft an der Filmuniversit?t Babelsberg. Konrad Wolf in Potsdam.
