Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
What makes science fiction genres better than others at challenging social conventions, especially gender? Are speculative works structured differently when addressed to traditionally under-portrayed individuals or communities? This collection of interviews elicits truly honest and thought-provoking responses that focus on the biographical dimension in speculative fiction, questions of intersectionality, genre (re)definitions and the politicization of fiction. It gives voice to women of different races, nations, classes and sexual orientations who write and edit speculative fiction – such as Ellen Datlow, Kathe Koja, Angela Mi Young Hur, Eugen Bacon, and Cat Rambo. The interviews clarify how the junction of genre and gender is a key element to understanding this literary field, while simultaneously contextualizing and theorizing the interview itself, as a literary genre and a research tool.

Ebo, Bosah. Cyberghetto or Cybertopia? Greenwood Publishing Group, Inc., 1998. http://dx.doi.org/10.5040/9798216188025.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Computer-mediated communication and cyberculture are dramatically changing the nature of social relationships. Whether cyberspace will simply retain vestiges of traditional communities with hierarchical social links and class-structured relationships or create new egalitarian social networks remains an open question. The chapters in this volume examine the issue of social justice on the Internet by using a variety of methodological and theoretical perspectives. Political scientists, sociologists, and communications and information systems scholars address issues of race, class, and gender on the Internet in chapters that do not assume any specialized training in computer technology.

Delgado, Melvin. The Silent Epidemic of Gun Injuries. Oxford University Press, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780197609767.001.0001.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Abstract Gun violence undermines a quest for a healthy and productive life. This book is urban focused, with race and socioeconomic class assuming prominence, thus bringing a social justice and equity lens. Gun violence is best conceptualized as a jigsaw puzzle, with deaths representing one dimension and injuries the other. The vast majority of gun violence encounters cause an injury rather than death, which only enhances the importance of this public health issue. US gun violence is commonplace, particularly in its cities and in communities of color. This translates into major policy decisions that ignore these communities, and fear of crime is the glue that helps associate gun violence and race. This book addresses five goals: (1) provide a picture of the extent and nature of gun injuries among children/youth and adults, with a special emphasis on those of color and cities; (2) provide a series of concepts for conceptualizing urban-focused interventions; (3) provide case illustrations of innovative interventions; (4) highlight recommendations for practice, education, and research; and (5) identify crosscutting themes to move this field forward.

Grace, Nancy M., a cura di. The Beats. Liverpool University Press, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.3828/liverpool/9781949979954.001.0001.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This volume is the first-ever collection devoted to teaching Beat literature in high school to graduate-level classes. Essays address teaching topics such as the history of the censorship of Beat writing, Beat spirituality, the small press revolution, Beat composition techniques and ELL, Beat multiculturalism/globalism and its legacies, techno-poetics, the road tale, Beat drug use, the Italian-American Beat heritage, Beats and the visual arts of the 1960s, the Beat and Black Mountain confluence, Beat comedy, Beat performance poetry, Beat creative non-fiction, West coast-East/coast Beat communities, and Beat representations of race, gender, class, and ethnicity. Individual essays focus on Gary Snyder’s ecopoetics, William S. Burroughs’s post- and transhumanism, Jack Kerouac’s On the Road (teaching it in the U.S. and abroad) and his Quebecois novels, Allen Ginsberg, Diane di Prima, ruth weiss, Joyce Johnson, Joanne Kyger, Bob Kaufman, and Anne Waldman. Many additional Beat-associated writers, such as Amiri Baraka Gregory Corso, are featured in the other essays. The collection opens with a comprehensive essay by Nancy M. Grace on a history of Beat literature, its reception in and out of academia, and contemporary approaches to teaching Beat literature in multidisciplinary contexts. Many of the essays highlight online resources and other materials proven useful in the classroom. Critical methods range from feminism/gender theory, to critical race theory, formalism, historiography, religious studies, and transnational theory to reception theory. The volume concludes with selected scholarly resources, both primary and secondary, including films, music, and other art forms; and a set of Beat-related classroom assignments recommended by active Beat scholars and teachers.

Wenzel, Andrea. Community-Centered Journalism. University of Illinois Press, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.5622/illinois/9780252043307.001.0001.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
In A Case for Community-Centered Journalism: Solutions, Engagement, Trust, Andrea Wenzel maps out a process model for building trust—not just in journalism, but between different sectors of communities. She details how, in many communities, residents gauge trust in news not only based on factors like accuracy and credibility, but also based on how these are intertwined with the perceived motives of news media, and whether outlets are seen to represent communities respectfully. For this reason, Wenzel contends that more local journalism alone is not enough. Rather, she argues that a different kind of local journalism is needed—a community-centered journalism that is solutions-oriented and that engages and shares power with community stakeholders. Through a series of case studies across the U.S., in urban, suburban, and rural communities, Wenzel uses a communication infrastructure theory framework to explore how local journalism interventions attempt to strengthen relationships between residents, community organizations, and local media. She examines the boundary challenges to dominant journalistic practices and norms that arise from place-based interventions to build relationships of trust. Mindful of dynamics of race, class, place, and power, Wenzel recommends a process that is portable – rather than scalable -- that centers on community stakeholders, and is shaped as much by local assets as by needs. She argues that if they shift away from a model that puts journalists at the center and marginalized communities on the periphery, engaged journalism and solutions journalism have the potential to strengthen not just journalism, but the communication health of communities.

Rosenow, Michael K. Conclusion. University of Illinois Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.5406/illinois/9780252039133.003.0006.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This book concludes by summarizing developments that made death a contested terrain of political authority and ideology containing elements of class, gender, ethnicity, race, and religion during the period 1865–1920. It begins by focusing on the exhortation by American Federation of Labor's Samuel Gompers at the International Labor Congress in 1893 that “the lives and limbs of the wage-workers shall be regarded as sacred as those of all others of our fellow human beings.” It then discusses the emergence of class-based rituals of death and dying as an undercurrent of industrialization from the end of the Civil War to the close of the Progressive Era as working communities infused their funerals, processions, and memorials with meanings and invented traditions that became customs used by the working class to measure the dignity and respect paid to the deceased. The book also considers how labor conflict such as strikes produced an array of funerary tableaus in the years leading to American participation in World War I.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Our experiences of the city are dependent on our gender, race, class, age, ability, and sexual orientation. It was already clear before the pandemic that cities around the world were divided and becoming increasingly unequal. The pandemic has torn back the curtain on many of these pre-existing inequalities. This book engages directly with different urban communities around the world. It gives voice to those who experience poverty, discrimination and marginalisation in order to put them in the front and center of planning, policy, and political debates that make and shape cities. Offering crucial insights for reforming cities to be more resilient to future crises, the book is an invaluable resource for scholars and policymakers alike.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This chapter presents a powerful case for the transformative potential of service-learning initiatives in prisons. It shows how undergraduate and graduate service-learning projects provide important learning opportunities to imprisoned students in Michigan, and also transform the perspectives of the free students who participate in the projects. Prison activism, in conjunction with strong educational initiatives that foster deep understanding of how economics, race, and class interact to produce the prison-industrial complex (PIC), holds great promise for achieving long-term policy and institutional changes in national, state, and local communities. The chapter argues that activism, by itself, presumes the existence of an audience that is rational, compassionate, informed, and capable of developing an enlarged understanding of the systemic forces that produce and sustain the PIC.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This book examines intimacy in the form of sexual encounters, dating, marriage, and family that involve US service members and local residents. The book analyzes the stories of individual U.S. service members and their Okinawan spouses and family members against the backdrop of Okinawan history, political and economic entanglements with Japan and the United States, and a longstanding anti-base movement. The narratives highlight the simultaneously repressive and creative power of military “fencelines,” sites of symbolic negotiation and struggle involving gender, race, and class that divide the social landscape in communities that host US bases. The book anchors the global U.S. military complex and US–Japan security alliance in intimate everyday experiences and emotions, illuminating important aspects of the lived experiences of war and imperialism.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This book questions the tendency among most Americans to separate their dead along lines of race, faith, ethnicity, or social standing. It asks what a deeper exploration of that phenomenon, so often taken for granted, can tell us about American history broadly. Comparative in scope, and regionally diverse, it looks to immigrants, communities of color, the colonized, the enslaved, rich and poor, and religious minorities as they laid their dead to rest in locales spanning the northeast to the Spanish American southwest. Whether African Americans, Muslim or Christian Arabs, Indians, mestizos, Chinese, Jews, Poles, Catholics, Protestants, or various whites of European descent, one thing that united these Americans was a drive to keep their dead apart. While burial spaces have reflected and preserved cultural and communal identity, particularly in a society as diverse as the United States, this collection argues that the invisible and institutional borders built around them (and into them) also tell a powerful story of the ways in which Americans have negotiated race, culture, class, national origin, and religious difference in the United States during its formative century.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This chapter draws attention to the multiple ways in which a new vanguard of black political and neighborhood activists like Jamaica, Queens resident Geraldine Chaney and members of Harlem Citizens Council (HCC) contested the presence of vice and immoral social amusements and economic activities in their neighborhoods. New Yorkers expressed their concerns and outrage about community conditions and its impact on their families and day-to-day lives through citizens' complaint letters and the formation of grassroots anti-vice neighborhood associations. Local black New Yorkers' activism, part of broader northern civil rights campaigns for citizenship and race, gender, and class equality, underscored visions of wholesome communities and neighborhood safety and their refusal to allow crime racketeers and disorderly neighbors to permeate spaces in which they had to live and work and raise families.

Marin, Reva. Outside and Inside. University Press of Mississippi, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.14325/mississippi/9781496829979.001.0001.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This book is the first full-length study of autobiographies and memoirs of white American jazz musicians, whose accounts reveal attitudes toward race, ethnicity, and gender across a wide range of twentieth-century jazz communities. White jazz autobiographers highlight their immersion in Black jazz environments as central to establishing their legitimacy as jazz musicians, claiming versions of masculinity shaped by these immersion experiences and positioning themselves in relation to colorblind or essentialist arguments that have dominated twentieth-century jazz discourse. Their accounts illustrate the triumphs and failures of jazz interracialism, displaying the contradictory attitudes of reverence and entitlement, deference, and insensitivity that remain part of the white response to Black culture to the present day. The book examines sixteen autobiographies published between 1926 and 2010. Its thematic approach includes chapters that examine the collaborative process in jazz autobiography, Jewish American jazz musicians, and race relations in the New Orleans jazz revival and on Los Angeles’ Central Avenue. Its focus on male instrumentalists and bandleaders provides opportunities for revisiting some of the classic depictions of the “white Negro” in contemporary cultural criticism. While informed by the insights of critical race theory, the book argues that viewing these texts simply through the lens of white privilege does not do justice to the sustained relationships with Black music and culture described by these autobiographers. It both insists upon the value of insider perspectives and holds the texts to rigorous scrutiny, while embracing an expansive interpretation of white involvement in Black culture.

Roth, Benita. Intersectionality. A cura di Holly J. McCammon, Verta Taylor, Jo Reger e Rachel L. Einwohner. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oxfordhb/9780190204204.013.42.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Intersectionality has become the dominant form of feminist social science analysis. This chapter first examines the origins of intersectional analysis—which conceives of gender, race, class, and sexuality interacting forms of oppression—in the work of U.S. feminist academics in the 1980s, following the lead of feminists activists of color in the 1960s and 1970s who conceptualized their struggles in complex terms. The next section traces how intersectionality has widened into “intersectionality studies,” as the concept has traveled and definitions of intersectionality have proliferated. The author concludes that, despite its possible limitations, an intersectional sensibility is useful for those engaged in movement studies, because it helps scholars to conceptualize the relationships between voluntary action on the part of movement participants and social structures they inhabit/encounter, and because intersectionality’s view of oppositional communities as coalitions dovetails well with work that seeks to examine how movements are formed and operate as coalitions.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Fiction has a major social impact, not least because it co-shapes the image that society has of various social groups. Drawing on a collection of 170 contemporary Dutch-language novels, Character Constellations presents a range of data-driven, statistical models to study depictions of characters in terms of gender, race, ethnicity, class, age, sexuality, and other identity categories. Incorporating the tools of network analysis, each chapter highlights an aspect of fictional social networks that affects the representation of social groups: their centrality, their communities, and their conflicts. While reading individual novels in light of emerging statistical patterns, combining the formal methods of social network analysis with the interpretive tools of narratology, this study shows how central societal themes such as (in)equality and emancipation, integration and segregation, and social mobility and class struggle are foregrounded, replicated, or distorted in the Dutch novel. Showcasing what character-based critiques of literary representation gain by integrating data-driven methods into the practice of critical close reading, Character Constellations contributes to societal debates on cultural representation and identity and the role fiction and art have in those debates.

Delerme, Simone. Latino Orlando. University Press of Florida, 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.5744/florida/9780813066257.001.0001.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Latino Orlando: Suburban Transformation and Racial Conflict documents the migration, settlement, and incorporation of Puerto Ricans and other Latinos in Greater Orlando, analyzes the response to the influx, and examines the ways that race- and class-based identities and distinctions were formulated and represented. The international migration to Greater Orlando impacted social, political, and economic life. The book details the complexities of those experiences for both the incoming and receiving populations. Latino Orlando reveals how demographic changes transformed not only the landscape, but the soundscape as well, causing dissent between Latinos and non-Latinos. Language ideologies in opposition to the use of Spanish led to the racialization of Latino people and Latino concentrated communities, which contributes to residential segregation and the growth of suburban ethnic enclaves. The book argues that Latino migrants are complicating racial categorizations and challenging the deep-rooted racial binary that has prevailed in the South. However, the book documents not only the tensions between Latinos and non-Latinos, but also the class-based distinctions that lead to dissent within the Latino population. Therefore, the book contributes to the growing body of literature on migration and globalization in the American south.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
How do film and television makers around the world depict public housing? Why is it that public housing is so often chosen as the backdrop for drama, horror, social critique, rebellion, violence, artistic creativity, explorations of race relations and political intrigue? This is the first book-length study of the ways in which socialized housing projects around the world are represented on screen, in urban locations including Chicago (Candyman, Cooley High), Singapore (Mee-Pok Man, Yellow Bird, Singapore Dreaming), St. Louis (The Pruitt-Igoe Myth), Paris (drone footage, Swagger, Divines), Essex (Fish Tank), Berlin (Die Architekten), Baltimore/New York/New Orleans (in the TV series of David Simon: The Wire, Show Me a Hero, and Treme), Rome (Mamma Roma), Hong Kong (TV series Below the Lion Rock) and Tel Aviv (archival footage). International scholars of film and media, sociology, architecture, history, race, class, gender and urban planning explore documentary and fictional portrayals of the architecture of public housing, and the communities that inhabit it, from the 1950s to the present. Spanning a wide, international range of film and media texts, essays within this book examine public and private attitudes toward socialised housing, explaining how onscreen representations shape perceptions of these ubiquitous, often-stigmatized urban locations.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
In the past four decades the field of Asian American literary and cultural studies has grown enormously, expanding its areas of inquiry beyond the reflections on national identity and citizenship to encompass such issues as transnational and diasporic identities and communities; the workings of imperialism; the intersectionality of race, gender, and sexuality; and social justice/human rights in a global context. This project is the largest and most comprehensive collection of scholarship on Asian American literature and culture to date. From Asian American literary classics to experimental theater, from K-pop to online gaming, the Oxford Encyclopedia of Asian American Literature and Culture guides both established scholars and readers new to this study through the extensive landscape of Asian American writing and cultural production. More than one hundred essays on varied historical periods, geographical locales, and artistic modes offer an extensive examination of racial representation and activism, interdisciplinary and comparative approaches to literary work, ethnic communities, space and place, transnational and transpacific flows, and genres such as speculative fiction, the detective novel, and melodrama. Along with literary works from the late-19th century to the 21st century, the Oxford Encyclopedia of Asian American Literature and Culture covers a wide-ranging selection of Asian American theatre, dance, music, visual arts, film, television, and media. With its illuminating and profound commentary on Asian American writing and artistic practice, the volumes survey the historical foundations of this rich field, showing the exciting and profound new directions that currently drive the study of Asian American literary and cultural traditions.

Caldas, Stephen J., e Carl L. Bankston III. Forced to Fail. Greenwood Publishing Group, Inc., 2005. http://dx.doi.org/10.5040/9798400652929.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Caldas and Bankston provide a critical, dispassionate analysis of why desegregation in the United States has failed to achieve the goal of providing equal educational opportunities for all students. They offer case histories through dozens of examples of failed desegregation plans from all over the country. The book takes a very broad perspective on race and education, situated in the larger context of the development of individual rights in Western civiliztion. The book traces the long legal history of first racial segregation, and then racial desegregation in America. The authors explain how rapidly changing demographics and family structure in the United States have greatly complicated the project of top-down government efforts to achieve an ideal racial balance in schools. It describes how social capital—a positive outcome of social interaction between and among parents, children, and teachers—creates strong bonds that lead to high academic achievement. The authors show how coercive desegregation weakens bonds and hurts not only students and schools, but also entire communities. Examples from all parts of the United States show how parents undermined desegregation plans by seeking better educational alternatives for their children rather than supporting the public schools to which their children were assigned. Most important, this book offers an alternative, more realistic viewpoint on class, race, and education in America.

Farris, Phoebe. Women Artists of Color. Greenwood, 1999. http://dx.doi.org/10.5040/9798216036920.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Critical essays on 20th-century female artists of color focus on how these distinguished artists achieved success, what makes their work important both to the art world and to their specific communities, and what influences their work is likely to have in the future. The artists are representative of four ethnic groups: African American, Asian Pacific American, Latin American, and Native American. Parallels drawn explore the similarities and differences among the artists. The early feminist art movement of the 1970's concentrated on gender with less consideration given to race or class, yet to many artists of color, ethnicity factors significantly into the shaping of their identities and to the content of their art. Women artists of color have expanded the scope of protest art, fusing the past and current history with gender and race and deconstructing stereotypical mainstream representations of their gender and ethnic identities. This presentation of artists balances older and deceased artists with the younger, emerging artists. The artistic mediums span the gamut from traditional painting and sculpture to newer forms such as video, conceptual, and performance art. These essays will appeal to a wide audience of scholars and artists interested in women's studies, art history, cultural studies, multicultural art, and art criticism. Grouped by ethnicity, artists are presented in alphabetical order. Entries include biographical information and a listing of each artist's exhibitions. Numerous photographs enhance the text.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This book focuses on the intersectionality of race, class, and practice at the Black community of Timbuctoo. Founded in 1825 by formerly enslaved migrants from Maryland Timbuctoo was one of several antebellum communities in southern New Jersey. The locations of these free communities were due to the influence of Quakers who offered legal support and employment to Black residents. Timbuctoo along the Greenwich Line of the Underground which took people escaping slavery from the Delaware Bay to New York. Despite some assistance by Quaker abolitions, New Jersey was hostile rife with racism and slavecatchers. The people of Timbuctoo endured several interactions with slavecatchers, including, the Battle of Pine Swamp, where armed residents thwarted the attempt of George Alberti to arrest “fugitive” Perry Simmons. The residents of Timbuctoo continued to fight as several of the men enlisted in the United States Colored Troops, including William Davis whose homestead was the focus for archaeological research. This book takes a multiscalar approach to understanding the everyday lives at Timbuctoo from settlement patterns and landscape archaeology, to in-depth interpretations on artifact types, like peanut butter and home canning. Uncovered in these analyses are stories of the struggles of life along the color line. However, these stories are also about perseverance and the ability of individuals to aspire. Oral histories from the community elders convey how despite life of poverty that the people of Timbuctoo formed a collective identity; a community of self-described, “Bucktonians”

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Adventures in Space and Time brings together key academic, critic and fan writings about Doctor Who alongside newly-commissioned work addressing contemporary issues and debates to form a comprehensive guide to the wider Whoniverse. The perennially popular BBC series holds a unique place in the history of television and of TV fandom: the longest running science-fiction show, the series and its fan communities have tracked social and cultural changes over its sixty-year lifetime. Adventures in Time and Space presents classic writings on Who and its fandom by leading scholars including John Fiske, Henry Jenkins, John Tulloch and Matt Hills, but also represents writings and art by fans, including fans who went on to become showrunners, writers or even the Doctor himself, with contributions by Steven Moffat, Chris Chibnall, Douglas Adams and Peter Capaldi. This innovative anthology addresses Doctor Who's showrunners, Doctors, companions, enemies and collaborators as well as issues and debates around queer fandom, intersectionality, the 'wokeness' of the Doctor, fan media including websites, podcasts and vlogs, fan activism and questions of race and sexuality in relation to the show and its spin offs. It considers Doctor Who as a peculiarly British phenomenon but also one that has delighted, engaged and sometimes enraged viewers around the world.

The abolition of Russian serfdom in 1861 and American slavery in 1865 transformed both nations as Russian peasants and African Americans gained new rights as subjects and citizens. During the second half of the long nineteenth century, Americans and Russians responded to these societal transformations through a fascinating array of new cultural productions. Analyzing portrayals of African Americans and Russian serfs in oil paintings, advertisements, fiction, poetry, and ephemera housed in American and Russian archives, Amanda Brickell Bellows argues that these widely circulated depictions shaped collective memory of slavery and serfdom, affected the development of national consciousness, and influenced public opinion as peasants and freedpeople strove to exercise their newfound rights. While acknowledging the core differences between chattel slavery and serfdom, as well as the distinctions between each nation’s post-emancipation era, Bellows highlights striking similarities between representations of slaves and serfs that were produced by elites in both nations as they sought to uphold a patriarchal vision of society. Russian peasants and African American freedpeople countered simplistic, paternalistic, and racist depictions by producing dignified self-representations of their traditions, communities, and accomplishments. This book provides an important reconsideration of post-emancipation assimilation, race, class, and political power.

In the last three decades of the twentieth century, government cutbacks, stagnating wages, AIDS, and gentrification pushed ever more people into poverty, and hunger reached levels unseen since the Depression. In response, New Yorkers set the stage for a nationwide food justice movement. Whether organizing school lunch campaigns, establishing food co-ops, or lobbying city officials, citizen-activists made food a political issue, uniting communities across lines of difference. The charismatic, usually female leaders of these efforts were often products of earlier movements: American communism, civil rights activism, feminism, even Eastern mysticism. Situating food justice within these rich lineages, Lana Dee Povitz demonstrates how grassroots activism continued to thrive, even as it was transformed by unrelenting erosion of the country's already fragile social safety net. Using dozens of new oral histories and archives, Povitz reveals the colorful characters who worked behind the scenes to build and sustain the movement, and illuminates how people worked together to overturn hierarchies rooted in class and race, reorienting the history of food activism as a community-based response to austerity. The first book-length history of food activism in a major American city, Stirrings highlights the emotional, intimate, and interpersonal aspects of social movement culture.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
This book brings together essays on the burgeoning array of local antiquarian practices developed across Europe in the early modern era (c. 1400-1700). Adopting an interdisciplinary and comparative method it investigates how individuals, communities and regions invented their own ancient pasts according to concerns they faced in the present. A wide range of 'antiquities' -- real or fictive, Roman, or pre-Roman, unintentionally confused or deliberately forged -- emerged through archaeological investigations, new works of art and architecture, collections, history-writing and literature. This book is the first to explore the concept of local concepts of antiquity across Europe in a period that has been defined as a uniform 'Renaissance'. Contributions take a new novel approach to the revival of the antique in different parts of Italy and also extend to other, less widely studied antiquarian traditions in France, the Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, Britain and Poland. They examine how ruins, inscriptions, and literary works were used to provide evidence of a particular idea of local origins, rewrite history or vaunt civic pride. They consider municipal antiquities collections in Southern Italy and Southern France, the antiquarian response to the pagan, Christian and Islamic past on the Iberian Peninsula, or Netherlandish interest in megalithic ruins thought to be traces of a prehistoric race of Giants. This interdisciplinary book is of interest for students and scholars of Early modern art history, architectural history, literary studies and history, as well as classics and the reception of antiquity.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
The traditional food aid/food poverty narrative in the United Kingdom tells us that food banks are compassionate spaces, responding to growing need. Missing is a more nuanced consideration of why food aid might exist and acknowledgment of the deeper, entrenched causes of food poverty. This book shines a light on these neglected dimensions of the debate. It argues that food aid is not only a consequence of neoliberal policies but an industry riddled with neoliberal governmentality, surveilling and governing people. It shows how food aid upholds Christian ideals, white privilege, and maintains inequalities of class, race, religion and gender. But it also reveals a sector that is immensely varied, embodying individualism and mutual aid. Drawing upon lived experiences, it documents how people in poverty stigmatise female and racialised Others for their poverty, while struggling themselves to maintain economic success amid insecure employment and punitive social security. And yet, the experience of food insecurity, like that of food aid, is shaped not only by neoliberal norms but by gendered, racial and religious identities, which foster shared experiences and solidarities, giving rise to alternative modes of food redistribution outside of formal food aid. The book argues that it is only by harnessing these alternative, progressive ways of being that food aid and the communities in which they are situated can become part of a movement for economic and racial justice.

Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Springing from decades of abuse by law enforcement and an excessive criminal justice system, members of over-policed communities lead the current movement for civil rights in the United States. Activated by injustice, individuals protested police brutality in Ferguson, campaigned to end stop-and-frisk in New York City, and advocated for restorative justice in Washington, D.C. Yet, scholars focused on the negative impact of punitive policy on material resources, and trust in government did not predict these pockets of resistance, arguing instead that marginalizing and demeaning policy teaches individuals to acquiesce and withdraw. Mobilized by Injustice excavates conditions under which, despite otherwise negative outcomes, negative criminal justice experiences catalyze political action. This book argues that when understood as resulting from a system that targets people based on race, class, or other group identifiers, contact can politically mobilize. Negative experiences with democratic institutions predicated on equality under the law, when connected to a larger, group-based struggle, can provoke action from anger. Evidence from several surveys and in-depth interviews reveals that mobilization as result of negative criminal justice experiences is broad, crosses racial boundaries, and extends to the loved ones of custodial citizens. When over half of Blacks and Latinos and a plurality of Whites know someone with personal contact, the mobilizing effect of a sense of injustice promises to have important consequences for American politics.

DIY & More-than-Human Media Architecture, Allegories, Entanglements & Speculative Practice. Queensland University of Technology, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.5204/book.eprints.214092.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
In recent years, research in the fields of Media Architecture and urban informatics have made calls to move beyond the human-centred city and towards a “more equitable multispecies city” (Van Dooren & Rose, 2012). Working towards future more-than-human cities, the design of hybrid digital-physical urban spaces - with an ethos of inclusivity and diversity - will require methods, tools, approaches, platforms, etc. to engage different communities, environments, and all kinds of nonhuman entities and creatures. This workshop posed the following question: While considering different characteristics (such as gender, race, class, abilities, creed, digital skills, habitat, bio-systems), how can citizens engage in creating DIY and More-than-Human Media Architecture to actively shape their spaces and foster imaginaries of more-than-human urban futurity, all while being kinder towards our stressed and fragile urban ecology? As a first step, DIY Media Architecture proposes that communities of experts support non-experts to create and design Media Architecture as active instigators of change in their own right. A possible strategy may lie in mobilizing allegories, entanglements, multispecies world-making, speculative prototyping, i.e. techniques to frame and engage more-than-human urban futures. This is positioned as empowering the less heard as taking charge of their digital-physical canvases throughout urban spaces and, as a next step, staking their and all creatures’ rights to the city. The workshop was conducted online from 24th-29th June 2021. The workshop provided the platform for discussions on alternative materials, platforms, strategies and tools for enabling DIY processes of the less heard in anthropocentric engagement. The workshop, further, encouraged participants to bring prototypes, demos, videos and examples to broaden the conversation on DIY and More-than-Human Media Architecture. This was collated towards two outcomes; 1) conceptual prototypes and 2) participants were invited to co-author a publication. This is in keeping with MAB2020’s Themes & Issues of “Citizen’s Digital Rights”, “Playful and Artistic Civic Engagement” and “More-Than-Human Cities”.

Practical Feelings develops and applies a theory of emotion practice to the domains of work, leisure, social media, and politics. Chapter 1 theorizes an emotion practice approach by synthesizing symbolic interactionist and poststructural approaches to emotion using their shared lineage of pragmatism. Within this approach, the concepts of emotional capital, habitus, and social location together help us examine emotion as effort, energy, and embodied resource. Chapters 2 through 5 apply an emotion practice approach to the social arenas of work, leisure, social media, and politics. The empirical chapters move from the intimate sphere of nursing to the sphere of public health threats while illustrating the strengths of an emotion practice approach. Audio diaries from nurses capture how they use and conserve emotional resources within hierarchies of social class and race. In examining sports fans, we see how they use and invest in the emotional power of sports symbols, but a hierarchy of racial inequality underlies this economy of emotion that connects communities and corporations. Social media users connect with others during health threats by relying on engrained digital habits of frivolity and humor. Turning to the political sphere, rhetoric from leaders reinforces a view of emotions as irrational, converting their emotional capital of stoicism into political capital during public health threats (Ebola and COVID-19). The final chapter develops the relevance of homophily for connecting emotions with social inequality and theorizes mechanisms for social change.

Arthurson, Kathy. Social Mix and the City. CSIRO Publishing, 2012. http://dx.doi.org/10.1071/9780643104440.
Testo completoAbstract (sommario):
Concern about rising crime rates, high levels of unemployment and anti-social behaviour of youth gangs within particular urban neighbourhoods has reinvigorated public and community debate into just what makes a functional neighbourhood. The nub of the debate is whether concentrating disadvantaged people together doubly compounds their disadvantage and leads to 'problem neighbourhoods'. This debate has prompted interest by governments in Australia and internationally in 'social mix policies', to disperse the most disadvantaged members of neighbourhoods and create new communities with a blend of residents with a variety of income levels across different housing tenures (public and private rental, home ownership). What is less well acknowledged is that interest in social mix is by no means new, as the concept has informed new town planning policy in Australia, Britain and the US since the post Second World War years.
Social Mix and the City offers a critical appraisal of different ways that the concept of ‘social mix’ has been constructed historically in urban planning and housing policy, including linking to 'social inclusion'. It investigates why social mix policies re-emerge as a popular policy tool at certain times. It also challenges the contemporary consensus in housing and urban planning policies that social mix is an optimum planning tool – in particular notions about middle class role modelling to integrate problematic residents into more 'acceptable' social behaviours. Importantly, it identifies whether social mix matters or has any real effect from the viewpoint of those affected by the policies – residents where policies have been implemented.
