Tracing Cultural Change in Turkey's Experience of Democratization Unexpected Dialogues on Intolerance

Tracing Cultural Change in Turkey's Experience of Democratization Unexpected Dialogues on Intolerance

Does democracy require an agreement on specific foundational values? Bringing insights from Turkey to the study of democratization this book argues that democracy may rather be about acknowledging the disagreement over values before negotiating over other concerns such as rights freedoms capabilities and duties. It explores this idea by examining three landscapes of culture in Turkey which have been the subjects of persistent stories regarding the unequal relationship between the self and the other. These include LGBT visibility and the entertainment sector women and clothing and Alevism and funerals. Through these case studies the book analyses the remaking of (in)tolerance through the integration of LGBT representations into broader political struggles over values the assertion of women’s rights and freedoms from traditional values surrounding dress and the conflict between essentialist intolerance and the syncretic traditions of Alevi identity. Bringing these landscapes together with the surrounding cultural tensions in Turkey and the West Tracing Cultural Change in Turkey's Experience of Democratization will be a valuable resource for students and scholars of Middle Eastern studies and politics gender studies and cultural studies. | Tracing Cultural Change in Turkey's Experience of Democratization Unexpected Dialogues on Intolerance

Food

In Food John Coveney examines ‘food as … ’ identity politics industry regulation the environment justice and gastronomy. He explores how food helps us understand what it means to be human. The centrality of food in life and the importance of food as life is undeniable. As a source of biological substrates personal pleasure and political power food is and has been an enduring requirement of human biological social and cultural existence. In recent years interest in food has increased across the academic public and popular spheres fuelled by popular media’s constant play on the role of food and body size and food and cooking as a mass spectacle for TV audiences. Through food we construct our social identities our families and communities. However Coveney also highlights the tensions between the industrialisation of food the environment and the iniquitous distribution of food. He also considers how the food industries on which most of us must rely have also had direct effects on our bodies through diet and the development of illness and diseases. This accessible primer is for students and general readers alike indeed for anyone with an interest in food. It questions the idea that food is merely something inert on the plate. Instead it shows how influential symbolic powerful and transformative food has come to be.

True Cost Accounting for Food Balancing the Scale

True Cost Accounting for Food Balancing the Scale

This book explains how True Cost Accounting is an effective tool we can use to address the pervasive imbalance in our food system. Calls are coming from all quarters that the food system is broken and needs a radical transformation. A system that feeds many yet continues to create both extreme hunger and diet-related diseases and one which has significant environmental impacts is not serving the world adequately. This volume argues that True Cost Accounting in our food system can create a framework for a systemic shift. What sounds on the surface like a practice relegated to accountants is ultimately a call for a new lens on the valuation of food and a new relationship with the food we eat starting with the reform of a system out of balance. From the true cost of corn rice and water to incentives for soil health the chapters economically compare conventional and regenerative more equitable farming practices in and food system structures including taking an unflinching look at the true cost of cheap labour. Overall this volume points towards the potential for our food system to be more human-centred than profit-centred and one that has a more respectful relationship to the planet. It sets forth a path forward based on True Cost Accounting for food. This path seeks to fix our current food metrics in policy and in practice by applying a holistic lens that evaluates the actual costs and benefits of different food systems and the impacts and dependencies between natural systems human systems agriculture and food systems. This volume is essential reading for professionals and policymakers involved in developing and reforming the food system as well as students and scholars working on food policy food systems and sustainability. | True Cost Accounting for Food Balancing the Scale

Attachment Relationships and Food From Cradle to Kitchen

Attachment Relationships and Food From Cradle to Kitchen

Using attachment theory as a lens for understanding the role of food in our everyday lives this book explores relationships with other people with ourselves and between client and therapist through our connection with food. The aim of this book is twofold: to examine the nature of attachment through narratives of feeding and to enrich psychotherapy practice by encouraging exploration of clients’ food-related memories and associations. Bringing together contributions from an experienced group of psychotherapists the chapters examine how our connections with food shape our patterns of attachment and defence how this influences appetite self-feeding (or self-starving) and how we may then feed others. They consider a spectrum from a secure attachment to food through to avoidant preoccupied and disorganised including discussion of eating disorders. Enriched throughout with diverse clinical case studies this edited collection illuminates how relationships to food can be a rich source of insight and understanding for psychotherapists psychoanalysts and other counselling therapists working today. | Attachment Relationships and Food From Cradle to Kitchen

Public Policies for Food Sovereignty Social Movements and the State

Public Policies for Food Sovereignty Social Movements and the State

An increasing number of rural and urban-based movements are realizing some political traction in their demands for democratization of food systems through food sovereignty. Some are pressuring to institutionalize food sovereignty principles and practices through laws policies and programs. While the literature on food sovereignty continues to grow in volume and complexity there are a number of key questions that need to be examined more deeply. These relate specifically to the processes and consequences of seeking to institutionalize food sovereignty: What dimensions of food sovereignty are addressed in public policies and which are left out? What are the tensions losses and gains for social movements engaging with sub-national and national governments? How can local governments be leveraged to build autonomous spaces against state and corporate power? The contributors to this book analyze diverse institutional processes related to food sovereignty ranging from community-supported agriculture to food policy councils direct democracy initiatives to constitutional amendments the drafting of new food sovereignty laws to public procurement programmes as well as Indigenous and youth perspectives in a variety of contexts including Brazil Ecuador Spain Switzerland UK Canada USA and Africa. Together the contributors to this book discuss the political implications of integrating food sovereignty into existing liberal political structures and analyze the emergence of new political spaces and dynamics in response to interactions between state governance systems and social movements voicing the radical demands of food sovereignty. | Public Policies for Food Sovereignty Social Movements and the State

Assertive Religion Religious Intolerance in a Multicultural World

Assertive Religion Religious Intolerance in a Multicultural World

Questions about religions and religious institutions have changed dramatically since they first arose many years ago. In the beginning of the twenty-first century the link of religion with extreme ideologies captures our attention. Such questions have been the focus of a steadily growing number of books. What does Assertive Religion add to the debate?Emanuel de Kadt discusses the relationship of religion to wider social issues such as human rights and multiculturalism. He traces the growth during the religious revival over the past decades of assertive and even coercive forms of religion notably but not exclusively fundamentalist varieties. He deals with these questions as they relate to the three major Abrahamic religions thereby addressing a readership wider than that made up of persons interested exclusively in Judaism Christianity or Islam. The author takes on issues such as the effects of the Jewishness of Israel on the rights of Palestinians; the consequences of the centralized authority structure of the Roman Catholic Church; and the implications of the failure of reform-oriented Muslims to make their voices heard in an organized Islamic reform movement. He is even-handed focusing on both positive and negative features of each religious perspective though he does have a clear viewpoint. Assertive Religion adds to increasingly sharp political discussions on issues arising out of religion. It is a must read for anyone interested in how religion is shaping the world of tomorrow. | Assertive Religion Religious Intolerance in a Multicultural World

World Population and World Food Supplies

World Population and World Food Supplies

Originally published in 1954. This great work surveys the distribution of the world’s population and the food production of all countries chosen as important by reason of either their demands on the world food market or their contributions to it. The author concludes that the more advanced countries can be reasonably assured of food supplies for an indefinite period. The less advanced countries can no longer rely on self-contained systems: they must seek co-operation with the advanced countries to supply them with the appliances needed for a more highly developed agriculture. This book at the time gave statesmen and their scientific advisers agriculturalists and agricultural economists an invaluable new instrument. | World Population and World Food Supplies
