"First primer in the emerging field of discard studies. It explores the way that social, economic, and political systems maintain themselves by discarding certain people, places, and things"-- An argument that social, political, and economic systems maintain power by discarding certain people, places, and things.Discard studies is an emerging field that looks at waste and wasting broadly construed. Rather than focusing on waste and trash as the primary objects of study, discard studies looks at wider systems of waste and wasting to explore how some materials, practices, regions, and people are valued or devalued, becoming dominant or disposable. In this book, Max Liboiron and Josh Lepawsky argue that social, political, and economic systems maintain power by discarding certain people, places, and things. They show how the theories and methods of discard studies can be applied in a variety of cases, many of which do not involve waste, trash, or pollution. Liboiron and Lepawsky consider the partiality of knowledge and offer a theory of scale, exploring the myth that most waste is municipal solid waste produced by consumers; discuss peripheries, centers, and power, using content moderation as an example of how dominant systems find ways to discard; and use theories of difference to show that universalism, stereotypes, and inclusion all have politics of discard and even purification—as exemplified in “inclusive” efforts to broaden the Black Lives Matter movement. Finally, they develop a theory of change by considering “wasting well,” outlining techniques, methods, and propositions for a justice-oriented discard studies that keeps power in view.

Die komplette vierteilige Marvel-Miniserie von 1994/1995Die Geschichte beginnt, wo die Mehrheit aller Bearbeitungen des Arthur-Stoffes endet: Mit der vernichtenden Niederlage Arthurs gegen die von Modred geführten Truppen und dem Tod des Königs. Mit seinem letzten Atem beauftragt Arthur Ritter Gawain, das magische Schwert Excalibur, zugleich Symbol für die Herrschaft Camelots, der Dame vom See zurückzubringen. Diesen letzten Auftrag seines Königs kann Sir Gawain nicht erfüllen; die ebenso schöne wie durchtriebene Königin von Orkney, Morgause, Arthurs Halbschwester und einstige Geliebte, bringt das Schwert in ihren Besitz: Mit Excalibur, dem Symbol der Herrschaft von Camelot und Arthurs gesalbter Nachfolgerin Ingrid, die sie hatte entführen lassen, in ihrer Gewalt, will sie die britannischen Königreiche unter ihrer magisch-düsteren Herrschaft vereinigen.Die Geschichte Excalibur ist eine weit ausgreifende Quest-Erzählung, die auf das Personal und zentrale Strukturelemente der Prinz-Eisenherz-Saga von Hal Foster zurückgreift und den von Selbstzweifeln geplagten Prinz Eisenherz in den Mittelpunkt rückt: Von Gawain und wenig später von Merlin eindringlich gemahnt, übernimmt Prinz Eisenherz die Mission, das Schwert Excalibur zurückzuholen. Der mühe- und gefahrvolle Weg in den Norden, ist nicht nur eine klassische Quest-Erzählung, sondern zugleich kritische und diskursive Reflexion der ritterlichen Ideale Camelots. Wie Eisenherz die magisch-dunklen, für Britannien verhängnisvollen Pläne von Morgause verhindern will, so auch - zunächst in einer Parallelhandlung - Maeve, Arn und "die Wanderin", die aufgebrochen sind, Ingrid aus der Geiselhaft zu befreien. Werden sie, Eisenherz, Nimue, Maeve, Arn und "die Wanderin" die finsteren Pläne und damit die düstere Herrschaft der Zauberin Morgause über die britannischen Königreiche verhindern können?

"What's a tort? It's a wrong that a court is prepared to recognize, usually in the form of ordering the transfer of money ("damages") from the wrongdoer to the wronged. The court is usually alerted to wrong by the filing of a lawsuit: anyone can walk through the courthouse doors and, subject to the limits explored in civil procedure, call someone else (or, if a company, some-thing) to account. We'll discuss the sources that courts turn to in order to answer such questions. Rarely, in tort cases, are those sources the ones laypeople expect: statutes passed by legislatures. Without statutes to guide them, what are courts left with?"-- Autorid: Jonathan L. Zittrain, Jordi Weinstock

Hackers as vital disruptors, inspiring a new wave of activism in which ordinary citizens take back democracy.Hackers have a bad reputation, as shady deployers of bots and destroyers of infrastructure. In Coding Democracy, Maureen Webb offers another view. Hackers, she argues, can be vital disruptors. Hacking is becoming a practice, an ethos, and a metaphor for a new wave of activism in which ordinary citizens are inventing new forms of distributed, decentralized democracy for a digital era. Confronted with concentrations of power, mass surveillance, and authoritarianism enabled by new technology, the hacking movement is trying to "build out" democracy into cyberspace.

An analysis of wandering within different game worlds, viewed through the lenses of work, colonialism, gender, and death.Wandering in games can be a theme, a formal mode, an aesthetic metaphor, or a player action. It can mean walking, escaping, traversing, meandering, or returning. In this book, game studies scholar Melissa Kagen introduces the concept of “wandering games,” exploring the uses of wandering in a variety of game worlds. She shows how the much-derided Walking Simulator—a term that began as an insult, a denigration of games that are less violent, less task-oriented, or less difficult to complete—semi-accidentally tapped into something brilliant: the vast heritage and intellectual history of the concept of walking in fiction, philosophy, pilgrimage, performance, and protest. Kagen examines wandering in a series of games that vary widely in terms of genre, mechanics, themes, player base, studio size, and funding, giving close readings to Return of the Obra Dinn, Eastshade, Ritual of the Moon, 80 Days, Heaven’s Vault, Death Stranding, and The Last of Us Part II. Exploring the connotations of wandering within these different game worlds, she considers how ideologies of work, gender, colonialism, and death inflect the ways we wander through digital spaces. Overlapping and intersecting, each provides a multifaceted lens through which to understand what wandering does, lacks, implies, and offers. Kagen’s account will attune game designers, players, and scholars to the myriad possibilities of the wandering ludic body. Autorid: Melissa Kagen
