Social Movements and Solidarity Structures in Crisis-Ridden Greece explores the rich grassroots experience of social movements in Greece between 2008 and 2016. The harsh conditions of austerity triggered the rise of vibrant mobilizations that went hand-in-hand with the emergence of numerous solidarity structures, providing unofficial welfare services to the suffering population. Based on qualitative field research conducted in more than 50 social movement organizations in Greece's two major cities, the book offers an in-depth analysis of the contentious mechanisms that led to the development of such solidarity initiatives. By analyzing the organizational structure, resources and identity of markets without middlemen, social and collective kitchens, organizations distributing food parcels, social clinics and self-managed cooperatives, this study explains the enlargement of boundaries of collective action in times of crisis.

Tematem książki „TECH. Krytyka Środowiska Technologicznego." jest problematyka wdrażania do 2040 roku nowych technologii i powstającego w związku z tym ewolucyjnego środowiska technologicznego oraz problematyka mechanizacji człowieka i środowiska naturalnego. Współczesna ekspansja technik doprowadziła do wytworzenia nowego technologicznego środowiska, które jest coraz bardziej dynamiczne, ekspansywne i staje się w coraz większym stopniu realnym środowiskiem i kontekstem życia człowieka. Środowisko to wchłania przestrzeń środowiska naturalnego, by na przestrzeni kolejnych dwóch dekad poprzez techniki informatyczne, robotykę i biotechnologię wytworzyć własne, syntetyczne formy życia, zagrażające ludzkiej cywilizacji. Zrozumienie tej problematyki jest niezwykle istotne, ponieważ najbliższe dekady ekspansji środowiska technicznego wytworzą kontekst życia na Ziemi, który bezpowrotnie zmieni człowieka i całe środowisko naturalne. Środowisko techniczne przejmie przestrzeń środowiska nat...

Wussten Sie, dass Ihr Personalausweis oder Ihr Reisepass nicht Ihre deutsche Staatsangehörigkeit bestätigt und fast alle Deutschen in ihrem eigenen Land staatenlos sind? Nein? Es gibt tatsächlich ein Dokument, welches die rechtmäßige Staatsangehörigkeit bescheinigt, aber es ist keines der beiden zuvor genannten. Nur wenige Deutsche sind im Besitz dieser speziellen Urkunde, z.B. viele Staatsanwälte, Notare, Bundespolizisten oder Politiker. Wussten Sie zudem, dass Gerichtsvollzieher in der BRD seit 2012 keine Beamten mehr sind oder dass die BRD selbst gar kein Staat ist - und auch nie war -, sondern eine von den Alliierten installierte Verwaltung, die großteils innerhalb einer „Firmenstruktur" operiert? War Ihnen geläufig, dass wir bald in die „Vereinigten Staaten von Europa" übergehen und die Menschen in „handelbare Waren" umfunktioniert werden? Haben Sie sich nicht auch schon gewundert, wieso aus dem Arbeitsamt eine „Agentur für Arbeit" geworden ist oder warum Sie v...

First published in 1986 Mary Douglas' theory of institutions uses the sociological theories of Emile Durkheim and Ludwig Fleck to determine not only how institutions think, but also the extent to which thinking itself is dependent upon institutions. Different kinds of institutions allow individuals to think different kinds of thoughts and to respond to different emotions. It is just as difficult to explain how individuals come to share the categories of their thought as to explain how they ever manage to sink their private interests for a common good. Douglas forewarns us that institutions do not think independently, nor do they have purposes, nor do they build themselves. As we construct our institutions, we are squeezing each other's ideas into a common shape in order to prove their legitimacy by sheer numbers. She admonishes us not to take comfort in the thought that primitives may think through institutions, but moderns decide on important issues individually. Our legitima...

Victor Papaneks Design for the Real World" z hlt international zu den meist gelesenen Designb chern aller Zeiten. Das Buch basiert auf dem Erwachen eines alternativen Designbegriffs vor dem Hintergrund des aufkommenden Postfordismus und der New Social Movements. Neben einer breiten Kultur- und Konsumkritik greift Papanek soziale und kologische Prinzipien f r eine partizipatorische, dezentralisierte und demokratisierte Designpraxis auf. Verst rkt durch die aktuelle Auseinandersetzung mit Fragen des Klima- und Umweltschutzes, gewinnt Papaneks Werk zunehmend an Bedeutung. Kaum eine Literaturempfehlungsliste im Bereich des Sozialen und Kritischen Design kommt derzeit ohne seine Schriften aus. Erstmals 1970 in Schwedisch erschienen, folgten bersetzungen in ber 20 Sprachen; mit der mittlerweile vergriffenen deutschen bersetzung war Papanek Zeit seines Lebens unzufrieden. Kurz vor seinem Tod im Januar 1998 wurde eine von Papanek akkordierte Neu bersetzung begonnen, deren Ver ffentlichung...
