This book takes a ground-breaking approach to peace theory and practice at a time of multiplying global crises. It draws on the Lacan-Hegelian dialectical materialism to rethink the way we think peace, conflict and violence as amongst multiple, overlapping crises including climate change, contemporary conflict, the threat of nuclear war, pandemics, the rise of far-right racism and growing class divisions.Such an approach may seem surprising. While Lacan-Hegelian scholars have provided analyses of contemporary conflicts including Russias war on Ukraine and Israels war against Hamas, in doing so they have also made pointedly critiqued the theory and practice of peace. Rather than simply defend peace theory and practice, the book uses these critiques as the basis for rethinking peace and conflict. Therefore, the book occupies a unique position by being the first to apply Lacanian-Hegelian dialectical materialism to peace and conflict theory and practice broadlyIn doing so, it provides scholars, students and practitioners with new concepts and tools to rethink peace theory and practice and to engage with politics in an age fraught with crises.

"In 2002 widespread communal violence tore apart hundreds of towns and villages in rural parts of Gujarat, India. In the aftermath, many Muslims living in Hindu-majority villages sought safety in the small town of Anand, some relocating with the financial assistance of their relatives overseas. Following such dramatic displacement and disorientation, Anand emerged as a site of opportunity and hope. For its residents and transnational visitors, Anand's Muslim area is not just a site of marginalization; ithas become an important focal point and regional center from which they can participate in the wider community of Gujarat and reimagine society in more inclusive terms. This compelling ethnography shows how in Anand the experience of residential segregation led not to estrangement or closure but to distinctive practices of mobility and exchange that embed Muslim residents in a variety of social networks. In doing so, New Lives in Anand moves beyond established notions of ghettoization to foreground the places, practices, and narratives that are significant to the people of Anand. It asks how people get on with their lives after an episode of violence to create new spaces and societies and to reconfigure their sense of belonging"-- Open access edition: DOI 10.6069/9780295749655In 2002 widespread communal violence tore apart hundreds of towns and villages in rural parts of Gujarat, India.

"Rivers host vibrant multispecies communities in their waters and along their banks, and, according to queer-trans-feminist river scientist Cleo Woelfle-Erskine, their future vitality requires centering the values of justice, sovereignty, and dynamism. At the intersection of river sciences, queer and trans theory, and environmental justice, Underflows explores river cultures and politics at five sites of water conflict and restoration in California, Oregon, and Washington. Incorporating work with salmon,beaver, and floodplain recovery projects, Woelfle-Erskine weaves narratives about innovative field research practices with an affectively oriented queer and trans focus on love and grief for rivers and fish. Drawing on the idea of underflows-the parts ofa river's flow that can't be seen, the underground currents that seep through soil or rise from aquifers through cracks in bedrock-Woelfle-Erskine elucidates the underflows in river cultures, sciences, and politics where Native nations and marginalized communities fight to protect rivers.

Seit 40 Jahren prägen die vielfach ausgezeichneten Bühnenwelten des Österreichers Martin Zehetgruber die europäische Theaterszene. Es sind Bilder, die auf der Netzhaut nachbrennen. Erinnerungen. Keine Abbilder. Keine Vorlagen. Keine realen Räume. Reste von Eindrücken, die sich abgelagert haben im Gedächtnis - in seinem, in dem der Gesellschaft. Emotional begriffene Situationen, Bilder, Texte, Begegnungen. Sie türmen sich zur Abraumhalde in seinem Kopf. Dass sich seine Bilder aus dem persönlichen Erleben speisen, ist unverkennbar. Die Landschaften, die er auf die Bühnen setzt, sind ihm vertraut, auch die Nachtalben, die sie bevölkern. In allen Bühnen steckt er selbst. Und mit jedem seiner Räume fordert er den Dialog ein, zwingt zum Umgang mit ihnen. Das Buch zeichnet den Werdegang von Martin Zehetgruber nach und versammelt Stimmen von künstlerischen Wegbegleiter:innen aus den verschiedenen Gewerken. Mit Beiträgen von Barbara Frey, Judith Gerstenberg, Heide Kastler, Christoph Klimke, Alexander Koppelmann, Martin KuSej, Georg Nigl, Nicholas Ofczarek, Andreas Schlager, Elisabeth Schweeger und Klaus von Schwerin.
Yevgeny Zamyatin's We is one of the earliest and most influential dystopian novels ever written-a chilling vision of a future where the promise of perfect order has become a total system of control.In the One State, citizens live in glass apartments, move in synchronized ranks, and are identified not by names but by numbers. The Table of Hours dictates work, meals, recreation-even sanctioned intimacy. D-503, an accomplished engineer, believes wholeheartedly in this rational paradise and records his thoughts as he helps construct the Integral, a spacecraft designed to bring the beneficent logic of the One State to other worlds.Yet a chance encounter with the unpredictable I-330 unsettles his carefully balanced mind. As forbidden feelings and private thoughts emerge, D-503's diary shifts from confident certainty to anxious self-examination. What begins as a celebration of collective perfection becomes a record of inner fracture-of imagination awakening in a society built to eliminate it.By turns satirical and philosophical, We explores the costs of conformity, the seductions of certainty, and the fragile boundary between freedom and fear. A cornerstone of modern speculative fiction, it remains essential reading for anyone drawn to classic literature and the origins of the dystopian tradition.
Unequal Exchange: Past, Present, and Future is Torkil Lauesen's definitive synthesis of sixty years of debate on the political economy of imperialism. Returning to Arghiri Emmanuel's groundbreaking theory of unequal exchange-the systematic transfer of value from low-wage regions of the Global South to high-wage countries in the Global North-Lauesen reconstructs the historical, theoretical, and political stakes of the concept with revolutionary clarity. Moving from the early structures of colonial extraction to contemporary global value chains, Lauesen demonstrates how wage differentials, outsourcing, and the international division of labor continue to polarize the world-system, shaping everything from living standards to global political alignments.Drawing on archival materials, as well as contributions from dependency theorists, world-systems analysis, ecological economists, and contemporary empirical research, Lauesen demonstrates how unequal exchange underpins the prosperity of the imperial core while undermining development in the periphery. Across chapters on measurement, solidarity, crisis, technological transfer, ecological degradation, multipolarity, and socialist transition, Lauesen lays out a comprehensive account of how unequal exchange has evolved-and why it remains central to understanding the 21st-century capitalist order.Unequal Exchange offers a rigorous, accessible, and politically urgent guide for scholars, organizers, and readers seeking to comprehend the structural foundations of imperialism today and the possibilities for building a more equal and sustainable world-system beyond the exploitative constraints of the current system.
