concepts

a travelogue

Edited by Bernd Herzogenrath, Goethe University of Frankfurt/Main, Germany This book foregrounds that English monolingualism reduces both our linguistic and conceptual resources, presenting concepts from the cultures of 4 continents and 26 languages. Each contributor explores ideas that have been key to thinking in their language – about sound and silence, voice and image, living and thinking, self and world - while simultaneously addressing the issue of translation. Each chapter demonstrates that translation itself is a way of invention, a way of generating new – albeit not novel – ideas, rather than just a rendering of concepts from one system in terms of another.

Technológos in Being

Radical Media Archaeology & the Computational Machine

Wolfgang Ernst, Humboldt University, Germany Wolfgang Ernst’s new book, in its explicit mediascientific approach, aligns with the politics of the Thinking Media series to publish innovative works that advance media studies towards the ‘new sciences.’ Ernst invites readers to re-adjust their ideas of media studies: the conviction that an extended understanding of "medium" needs to include a concept of materiality that focuses on "non- human" agencies as well. The book grounds media analysis radically in the technological apparatuses, relays, transistors, hard- and software, to precisely locate the scenes, operations and frictions where reasoning logos and ‘informable’ matter interfere.

Sound Affects

A User's Guide

Edited by Sharon Jane Mee, University of New South Wales, Australia & Luke Robinson, University of New South Wales, Australia Sound Affects: A User’s Guide is a collection of sonically-charged concepts ranging from the vocal (whispers, sing, disembodied voice), to sounds at the threshold (knocking, thump, buzz), to sounds beyond the limits of audibility (tremors, distortion, sub-bass). Taking Yve-Alain Bois and Rosalind E. Krauss’s Formless: A User’s Guide (1997) as a model, Sound Affects invites the reader to reflect on the ways that sounds produce affects and the ways that affects can operate as sound. Each of the essays develops a particular perspective on sound and affect through a close analysis of audio-visual and/or sonic objects.

The Switch Image

Television Philosophy

Lorenz Engell, Professor of Media Philosophy at the Bauhaus University, Weimar, Germany This book considers TV as what happens on and beyond the screen: the operation of switching images. It proposes a new definition of TV as the first picture that can be switched on, off, and over, stressing that TV is more tactile than visual. Through the ongoing interlacing of “TV 1.0” (image is being switched) and “TV 2.0” (image is a switch), TV transforms the world and itself from an analogue to a digital state and from central perspectivism to pluri-perspectives. Through switching and the switch, it develops and reworks new temporal orderings, such as instantaneity, synchronicity, flow, and seriality.

The Cultural Politics of Food, Taste, and Identity

A Global Perspective

Edited by Steffan Igor Ayora-Diaz, The Autonomous University of Yucatan, Mexico. In this book, Steffan Igor Ayora-Diaz and contributors examine the social, cultural and political processes that shape the experience of taste. Chapters examine local responses to industrialized food and the heritage industry and look at how professional culinary practice has become foundational for local identities. The book also discusses the unfolding construction of ‘local taste’ in the context of global, local and transnational sociocultural developments, and examines how different food products have entered the international market of industrial and heritage foods, connecting different places and shaping taste and political identities.

Farming Inside Invisible Worlds

Modernist Agriculture and its Consequences

Hugh Campbell, University of Otago, New Zealand In this open access book, Hugh Campbell reimagines the farm as a key player in the creation of political, economic and ecological power, particularly in colonized landscapes. Campbell shows how farm power was instrumental in creating a specific dynamic in colonized settings. He shows how this dynamic has been destabilized, with wide-reaching implications for the role farms play in our food systems and landscapes.

Sustainable Agri-food Systems

Case Studies in Transitions Towards Sustainability from France and Brazil

Claire Lamine, INRA, France Claire Lamine uses in-depth case studies to compile a critical survey of transitional approaches to sustainable agri-food systems.

These two countries are pioneers in implementing agroecology, yet differ in their visions and execution. Providing new options for understanding the complex issue of agrifood transitions, this book will make an impact for those studying food systems, geography, sociology, politics and agriculture.
