Community Food Initiatives A Critical Reparative Approach

Community Food Initiatives A Critical Reparative Approach

This book examines a diverse range of community food initiatives in light of their everyday practices innovations and contestations. While community food initiatives aim to tackle issues like food security food waste or food poverty it is a cause for concern for many when they are framed as the next big solution to the problems of the current industrialised food system. They have been critiqued for being too neoliberal elitist and localist; for not challenging structural inequalities (e. g. racism privilege exclusion colonialism capitalism); and for reproducing these inequalities within their own contexts. This edited volume examines the everyday realities of community food initiatives focusing on both their hopes and their troubles their limitations and failures but also their best intentions missions and models alongside their capacity to create hope in difficult times. The stories presented in this book are grounded in contemporary theoretical debates on neoliberalism diverse economies food justice community and inclusion and social innovation and help to sharpen these as conceptual tools for interrogating community food initiatives as sites of both hope and trouble. The novelty of this volume is its focus on the everyday doings of these initiatives in particular places and contexts with different constraints and opportunities. This grounded relational and place-based approach allows us to move beyond more traditional framings in which community food initiatives are either applauded for their potential or criticized for their limitations. It enables researchers and practitioners to explore how community food initiatives can realize their potential for creating alternative food futures and generates innovative pathways for theorising the mutual interplay of food production and consumption. This volume will be of great interest to students and scholars of critical food studies food security public health and nutrition as well as human geographers sociologists and anthropologists with an interest in food. | Community Food Initiatives A Critical Reparative Approach

Exploring What is Lost in the Online Undergraduate Experience A Philosophical Inquiry into the Meaning of Remote Learning

Exploring What is Lost in the Online Undergraduate Experience A Philosophical Inquiry into the Meaning of Remote Learning

This book examines the significance and meaning of undergraduate online learning using a hermeneutic phenomenological study asking what is lost when there is no face-to-face contact and exploring the essence of technology itself. Drawing on data from undergraduate students across various higher education institutions including both interview recordings and written reports of their lived experiences the author seeks to uncover the essence of the phenomenon by engaging with themes around the philosophy of technology and the purpose of post-secondary education using Heidegger’s essay The Question Concerning Technology as a crucial interpretive lens. Rather than offering generalized conclusions it presents a basis for further understanding of the experience of online learning and ultimately asks whether the efficiency afforded to undergraduates by online classes or degrees can ever replace what is learned in a classroom with other people. Providing a novel approach to the topic of online learning which centers the concept of experience and drawing links to current conditions and pedagogy in online higher education it will appeal to scholars working across education and philosophy with interests in higher education technology and education phenomenology of education and philosophy of education. | Exploring What is Lost in the Online Undergraduate Experience A Philosophical Inquiry into the Meaning of Remote Learning

The Dark Social Online Practices of Resistance Motility and Power

The Dark Social Online Practices of Resistance Motility and Power

This book explores how people interact online through anonymous communication in encrypted hidden or otherwise obscured online spaces. Beyond the Dark Web itself this book examines how the concept of ‘dark social’ broadens the possibilities for examining notions of darkness and sociality in the age of digitality and datafied life. The authors take into account technical moral ethical and pragmatic responses to ourselves and communities seeking to be/belong in/of/ the dark. Scholarship on the Darknet and Dark Social Spaces tends to focus on the uses of encryption and other privacy-enhancing technologies to engender resistance acts. Such understandings of the dark social are naturally in tension with social and political theories which argue that for politics and ‘acts’ to matter they must appear in the public light. They are also in tension with popular narratives of the ‘dark recesses of the web’ which are disparaged by structural powers who seek to keep their subjects knowable and locatable on the clear web. The binary of dark versus light is challenged in this book. The authors’ provocation is that practices of ‘dark’ resistance motility and power are enacted by emerging data cultures. This book draws together scholarship activism and creativity to push past conceptual binary positions and create new approaches to darknet and dark social studies. The Dark Social: Online Practices of Resistance Motility and Power will be a key resource for academics researchers and advanced students of media studies cultural studies communication studies research methods and sociology. This book was originally published as a special issue of Continuum: Journal of Media & Cultural Studies. | The Dark Social Online Practices of Resistance Motility and Power

The Link between Specific Forms of Online and Offline Victimization A Collaboration Between the ASC Division of Victimology and Division of

This book features the empirical work of internationally known scholars providing an in-depth examination of the overlap between online and offline victimization and offending. The vast expanse of the Internet has provided a limitless playground for offenders to prey on those unaware of their predators or well as those who are intimately familiar with their offenders. However the Internet does not isolate offenders into mutually exclusive categories. Instead it has allowed many offenders to use both offline and online platforms to commit crime. It also opened up more opportunity for violation of victims. This volume features two divisions of the American Society of Criminology the Division of Victimology and Division of Cybercrime who have joined forces to sponsor a special issue on the overlap between forms of online and offline victimization and offending. International scholars in this book provide a notable spectrum of different forms of this phenomenon as well as predictors of these behaviors. The Link between Specific Forms of Online and Offline Victimization will be a key resource for academics researchers and advanced students of Victimology Cybercime Criminology and Criminal Justice. The chapters included in this book were originally published in Victims & Offenders. | The Link between Specific Forms of Online and Offline Victimization A Collaboration Between the ASC Division of Victimology and Division of

Why Nations Fail to Feed the Poor The Politics of Food Security in Bangladesh

Why Nations Fail to Feed the Poor The Politics of Food Security in Bangladesh

This book examines the political and economic dimensions of food security in Bangladesh and assesses the role of the state in meeting the challenges of food security. The key concern which is at the heart of this study is to explore how Bangladesh responds when its people go hungry. There are no detailed empirical studies that examine the Bangladesh’s role by providing an historical cum political analysis; however conventional approaches are primarily concerned with a partial diagnosis of the economic or nutritional problems of food security. The book then provides a detailed picture of the missing dimensions of state that include the strength of institutions the scope of state functions and other important attributes. In doing so it uses the concept of neo-patrimonialism to explore the political system of Bangladesh. This book explicates the various impediments to food security ranging from the process of policy formulation to their implementation mechanisms. It unpacks the structural weaknesses of the Bangladesh's institutional capacity in promoting food security and in the process argues that the root cause of food insecurity is deeply embedded in the nature of the government itself and the political institutions that link the state and society. | Why Nations Fail to Feed the Poor The Politics of Food Security in Bangladesh

Art Farming and Food for the Future Transforming Agriculture

Art Farming and Food for the Future Transforming Agriculture

This book explores the impact of artistic experiments in inspiring people to turn away from current food consumerism and take an active role in preserving sustaining and protecting the environment. As artists are expanding their practice into social justice and community concerns erasing traditional forms of expression and integrating others the culture around food and its production has been added to a new vocabulary of experiential art. The authors measure the impact of such experiments on local food consumption and production focusing on education and youth both in the surrounding community and culture at large. They suggest how these projects can be up-scaled to further encourage sustainable solutions for our environment and communities. The book explores the reflections and motivations of case study practitioners in urban and rural areas and through interviews engages with artists who are pioneering a new trend to create hubs of activity away from traditional art spaces in cities to follow a non-hierarchal practice that is de-centralized and communally based. This book will be of great interest to academic readers concerned with issues related to environmental aesthetics eco-design eco-criticism culture heritage memory and identity and those interested in the current debates on the place of aesthetics and culture in sustainability. | Art Farming and Food for the Future Transforming Agriculture

School Food Politics in Mexico The Corporatization of Obesity and Healthy Eating Policies

School Food Politics in Mexico The Corporatization of Obesity and Healthy Eating Policies

Intertwining policy analysis and ethnography José Tenorio examines how and why now the promotion of healthy lifestyles has been positioned as an ideal ‘solution’ to obesity and how this shapes the preparation sale and consumption of food in schools in Mexico. This book situates obesity as a structural problem enabled by market-driven policy change problematizing the focus on individual behavior change which underpins current obesity policy. It argues that the idea of healthy lifestyles draws attention away from the economic and political roots of obesity shifting blame onto an ‘uneducated’ population. Deploying Foucault’s concept of dispositif Tenorio argues that healthy lifestyles functions as an ensemble of mechanisms to deploy representations of reality spaces institutions and subjectivities aligned with market principles constructing individuals both as culprits for what they eat and the prime locus of policy intervention to change diets. He demonstrates how this ensemble enmeshes within the local cultural and economic conditions surrounding the provisioning of food in Mexican schools and how it is contested in the practices around cooking. Expanding the conversation on the politics of food in schools obesity policy and dominant perspectives on the relation between food and health this book is a must-read for scholars of food and nutrition public health and education as well as those with an interest in development studies and policy enactment and outcomes. | School Food Politics in Mexico The Corporatization of Obesity and Healthy Eating Policies

Interaction and Knowledge Construction in Online English Teaching A Learning Analytics Perspective

Interaction and Knowledge Construction in Online English Teaching A Learning Analytics Perspective

Within a Chinese English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learning context this book investigates how teachers and learners interacted and articulated their understanding of English for Research Publication Purposes (ERPP)-related knowledge in a synchronous EFL classroom. The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic changed the way people receive education causing an almost overnight switch from on-campus instruction to distance learning. Under the use of three different learning analytics approaches this book has moved beyond the usual descriptive understanding of the online learning process to an in-depth exploratory and inferential analysis of the entities structures relations and processes of learning. The findings enrich current understandings of the complexity of ERPP teaching and learning in synchronous learning contexts. These findings also drive us to rethink and reshape the way ERPP instruction is delivered post-pandemic. An essential read for students and scholars of education and academic English. This book will also be a vital source for researchers in the field of learning analytics data analysis and data interpretation in language teaching and learning. | Interaction and Knowledge Construction in Online English Teaching A Learning Analytics Perspective

Urban Expansion and Food Security in New Zealand The Collapse of Local Horticulture

Urban Expansion and Food Security in New Zealand The Collapse of Local Horticulture

This book examines suburban development in New Zealand and its conflict with and impact on local horticulture and food security. Drawing on an ethnographic study of Auckland’s rapidly expanding urban periphery combined with comparative case studies from California in the USA and Victoria in Australia the book examines how the profit-making strategies of property developers and landowners drastically reshapes work and life at the edge of cities. With a significant portion of the world's croplands lying adjacent to cities the accelerating pace of urban sprawl across the planet places unprecedented pressure on the productivity and even existence of these vital food bowl regions. The book examines how the demand for more land for development at the urban periphery collides with concerns over local food security and the protection of ecosystem services. It analyses land use policy historical records and physical patterns of development alongside participant observation of local events. It combines this with interviews with government officials property developers landowners local residents and horticulturists. By combining these narratives of the hectic and lucrative business of suburban property development with the collapse of local horticulture this book shows how the realignment of the New Zealand's interests of financial profitability over other concerns led to the transformation of urban peripheries from a productive food bowl to an investment vehicle. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of urban food and agriculture urban planning and development and rural-urban studies. | Urban Expansion and Food Security in New Zealand The Collapse of Local Horticulture

The Food Revolution In The Soviet Union And Eastern Europe

The Food Revolution In The Soviet Union And Eastern Europe

The first study in the Western world to compare the relationship between food and politics in the countries of Eastern Europe this book views the current food revolution as part of the modernization process. Robert Deutsch argues that the communist leaders in the Comecon countries increasingly link political stability and preservation of power to the problem of satisfying consumer demand. He also assesses the various social forces that have brought about the food revolution. The most important is the expanded working class which is no longer willing to defer consumer demands to a hypothetical communist future. The CMEA countries thus face the dilemma of either gradually liberalizing their economies in order to meet growing consumer demands or resorting to repression. Neither of these options promises a long-term solution for implementing economic policies prescribed by Marxist-Leninist doctrine. Robert Deutsch presents case studies of Hungary Bulgaria and the German Democratic Republic as examples of the relative success of economic reforms. To a greater or lesser extent these countries have opted for economic decentralization by liberalizing private ownership and pricing policy and by integrating planning with market-oriented concepts. The author compares this with the economic problems of the Soviet Union Poland Romania and Czechoslovakia. The study is enhanced by an exhaustive bibliography arranged topically and drawn from the specialized literature in several languages. | The Food Revolution In The Soviet Union And Eastern Europe

Food Policy and Practice in Early Childhood Education and Care Children Practitioners and Parents in an English Nursery

Food Policy and Practice in Early Childhood Education and Care Children Practitioners and Parents in an English Nursery

This book is about food and feeding in early childhood education and care offering an exploration of the intersection of children’s food education family intervention and public health policies. The notion of ‘good’ food for children is often communicated as a matter of common sense by policymakers and public health authorities; yet the social material and practical aspects of feeding children are far from straightforward. Drawing on a detailed ethnographic study conducted in a London nursery and children’s centre this book provides a close examination of the practices of childcare practitioners children and parents asking how the universalism of policy and bureaucracy fits with the particularism of feeding and eating in the early years. Looking at the unintended consequences that emerged in the field such as contradictory public health messaging and arbitrary policy interventions the book reveals the harmful assumptions about disadvantaged groups that are perpetuated in policy discourse and challenges the constructs of individual choice and responsibility as main determinants of health. Children’s food practices at the nursery are examined to explore the notion that whilst for adults it is what children eat that often matters most to children it is how they eat that is more important. This book contributes to a growing body of literature evidencing how children’s food is a contested domain in which power relations are continuously negotiated. This raises questions not only on how children can be included in policy beyond a tokenistic involvement but also on what children’s well-being might mean beyond the biomedical sphere. The book will particularly appeal to students and scholars in food and health food policy childhood studies and medical anthropology. Policymakers and non-governmental bodies working in the domains of children’s food and early years policies will also find this book of interest. | Food Policy and Practice in Early Childhood Education and Care Children Practitioners and Parents in an English Nursery

Food Feasting and Table Manners in the Late Middle Ages Volume I: The Iberian Peninsula in the European Context

Food Feasting and Table Manners in the Late Middle Ages Volume I: The Iberian Peninsula in the European Context

This book offers a study of what and how people ate in the Iberian Peninsula between the twelfth and fifteenth centuries. It has long been recognized that Mediterranean cultures attach great importance to communal meals and food cooked with great refinement. However whilst medieval feasting in England France and Italy has been thoroughly studied Spain and Portugal have both been somewhat neglected in this area of study. This volume analyses how medieval men of the Iberian Peninsula questioned themselves about different aspects deemed important in social feasting. It investigates the acquisition of table manners and rhetorical skills the interaction between medicine and eating and the presence of food in literature and religion. The book also shows how this shared society and culture as well as their attitude towards food connected them to a Western European tradition. The book will appeal to scholars and students alike interested in food and feasting from the perspectives of literature history language art religion and medicine and to those interested in a social cultural and literary overview of life in the Iberian Peninsula during the late Middle Ages. | Food Feasting and Table Manners in the Late Middle Ages Volume I: The Iberian Peninsula in the European Context

Capacity-Building and the Water-Energy-Food Nexus Rethinking Integration in the Asia-Pacific

Capacity-Building and the Water-Energy-Food Nexus Rethinking Integration in the Asia-Pacific

Critically analysing methodologies and objectives of capacity building and the practical linkages required to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals this book looks at whether nexus thinking offers a systematic approach to combat global environmental problems and facilitate enhanced sustainable development. Building effective and sustainable mechanisms to tackle environmental problems requires in-depth understanding of relationships between natural resources going beyond conventional policy and siloed decision making. The water energy food nexus has been promoted as a conceptual framework and management tool to facilitate integrated planning and practical linkages to support sustainable development. The author opens this book with an overview of capacity building and reviews the significance of the water energy food nexus bringing in links to the 2030 Agenda. Climate change is highlighted as a key consideration in any conversation about natural resource use and case studies from Japan India and China are utilised to show that whist long-term sustainable development practices are being implemented the environmental challenges across the region raise concerns about institutional capacity economic sustainability and future of the region. Finally through the lens of capacity building the book suggests that whilst the water energy food nexus may provide a new approach to sustainable development it will not be enough to achieve long-term sustainability or extend to the lives of those most affected. The book will be interest to scholars and students within the water energy and agriculture sectors sustainability governance and sustainable development. It will also be a valuable resource to those working in governmental organisations and NGOs involved in capacity building and development. | Capacity-Building and the Water-Energy-Food Nexus Rethinking Integration in the Asia-Pacific
