Rebel Takes: On the Future of Food (Rebel Takes)
by Catherine Joy WhiteWhat does it mean when a food-rich society has thousands going hungry? How do food and politics intersect? How can our food habits reconnect us with nature? From family dinners to solo lunches, chain supermarkets to local greengrocers, a measure of wealth to a tactic of civil rights movements, how and what we eat has shaped our relationship with one another and with our environment. But how can we use the cultural, social, personal and political power of food to make a change in the world? Catherine Joy White unpacks the rich and expansive legacy that informs our treatment of food on a global scale and uses it to create a roadmap for the future. White deftly tackles issues such as food poverty and its intersections with identity, misconceptions of disordered eating, nationwide movements such as Marcus Rashford's campaign to feed the children of Britain, as well as innovative new ways of growing, consuming and sharing food in response to the climate crisis.What we eat matters, and On the Future of Food is a deeply thoughtful, joyfully optimistic call to imagine and demand better - for ourselves and for future generations.REBEL TAKES IS A SERIES THAT ASKS ITS WRITERS TO HOPE.

Rebellious Civil Society: Popular Protest and Democratic Consolidation in Poland, 1989-1993
by Grzegorz Ekiert Jan KubikPoland is the only country in which popular protest and mass opposition, epitomized by the Solidarity movement, played a significant role in bringing down the communist regime. This book, the first comprehensive study of the politics of protest in postcommunist Central Europe, shows that organized protests not only continued under the new regime but also had a powerful impact on Poland's democratic consolidation. Following the collapse of communism in 1989, the countries of Eastern Europe embarked on the gargantuan project of restructuring their social, political, economic, and cultural institutions. The social cost of these transformations was high, and citizens expressed their discontent in various ways. Protest actions became common events, particularly in Poland. In order to explain why protest in Poland was so intense and so particularized, Grzegorz Ekiert and Jan Kubik place the situation within a broad political, economic, and social context and test it against major theories of protest politics. They conclude that in transitional polities where conventional political institutions such as parties or interest groups are underdeveloped, organized collective protest becomes a legitimate and moderately effective strategy for conducting state-society dialogue. The authors offer an original and rich description of protest movements in Poland after the fall of communism as a basis for developing and testing their ideas. They highlight the organized and moderate character of the protests and argue that the protests were not intended to reverse the change of 1989 but to protest specific policies of the government. This book contributes to the literature on democratic consolidation, on the institutionalization of state-society relationship, and on protest and social movements. It will be of interest to political scientists, sociologists, historians, and policy advisors. Grzegorz Ekiert is Professor of Government, Harvard University. Jan Kubik is Associate Professor of Political Science, Rutgers University.

Recent Trends in Philosophical Logic
by Roberto Ciuni Heinrich Wansing Caroline WillkommenThis volume presents recent advances in philosophical logic with chapters focusing on non-classical logics, including paraconsistent logics, substructural logics, modal logics of agency and other modal logics. The authors cover themes such as the knowability paradox, tableaux and sequent calculi, natural deduction, definite descriptions, identity, truth, dialetheism and possible worlds semantics. The developments presented here focus on challenging problems in the specification of fundamental philosophical notions, as well as presenting new techniques and tools, thereby contributing to the development of the field. Each chapter contains a bibliography, to assist the reader in making connections in the specific areas covered. Thus this work provides both a starting point for further investigations into philosophical logic and an update on advances, techniques and applications in a dynamic field. The chapters originate from papers presented during the Trends in Logic XI conference at the Ruhr University Bochum, June 2012.
Receptions of Descartes: Cartesianism and Anti-Cartesianism in Early Modern Europe (Routledge Studies in Seventeenth-Century Philosophy #Vol. 8)
by Tad M. SchmaltzReceptions of Descartes is a collection of work by an international group of authors that focuses on the various ways in which Descartes was interpreted, defended and criticized in early modern Europe. The book is divided into five sections, the first four of which focus on Descartes' reception in specific French, Dutch, Italian and English contexts and the last of which concerns the reception of Descartes among female philosophers.
Receptive Bodies
by Leo BersaniLeo Bersani, known for his provocative interrogations of psychoanalysis, sexuality, and the human body, centers his latest book on a surprisingly simple image: a newborn baby simultaneously crying out and drawing its first breath. These twin ideas—absorption and expulsion, the intake of physical and emotional nourishment and the exhalation of breath—form the backbone of Receptive Bodies, a thoughtful new essay collection. These titular bodies range from fetuses in utero to fully eroticized adults, all the way to celestial giants floating in space. Bersani illustrates his exploration of the body’s capacities to receive and resist what is ostensibly alien using a typically eclectic set of sources, from literary icons like Marquis de Sade to cinematic provocateurs such as Bruno Dumont and Lars von Trier. This sharp and wide-ranging book will excite scholars of Freud, Foucault, and film studies, or anyone who has ever stopped to ponder the give and take of human corporeality.
Receptive Human Virtues: A New Reading of Jonathan Edwards's Ethics
by Elizabeth Agnew CochranThis book offers a new reading of Jonathan Edwards’s virtue ethic that examines a range of qualities Edwards identifies as “virtues” and considers their importance for contemporary ethics. Each of Edwards’s human virtues is “receptive” in nature: humans acquire the virtues through receiving divine grace, and therefore depend utterly on Edwards’s God for virtue’s acquisition. By contending that humans remain authentic moral agents even as they are unable to attain virtue apart from his God’s assistance, Edwards challenges contemporary conceptions of moral responsibility, which tend to emphasize human autonomy as a central part of accountability.
Receptive Spirit: German Idealism and the Dynamics of Cultural Transmission (Idiom: Inventing Writing Theory)
by Márton DornbachPremised on the assumption that the mind is fundamentally active and self-determining, the German Idealist project gave rise to new ways of thinking about our dependence upon culturally transmitted models of thought, feeling, and creativity. Receptive Spirit elucidates the ways in which Kant, Fichte, Schlegel, and Hegel envisioned and enacted the conjunction of receptivity and spontaneous activity in the transmission of human-made models of mindedness. Their innovations have defined the very terms in which we think about the historical character of aesthetic experience, the development of philosophical thinking, the dynamics of textual communication, and the task of literary criticism.Combining a reconstructive approach to this key juncture of modern thought with close attention paid to subsequent developments, Marton Dornbach argues that we must continue to think within the framework established by the Idealists if we are to keep our bearings in the contemporary intellectual landscape.
Rechoreographing Learning: Dance As a Way to Bridge the Mind-Body Divide in Education (Routledge Advances in Theatre & Performance Studies)
by Sandra Cerny MintonThis book addresses the mind-body dichotomy in movement and dance. This book includes a description of the often-forgotten kinesthetic sense, body awareness, somatic practices, body-based way of thinking, mental imagery, nonverbal communication, human empathy, and symbol systems, what occurs in the brain during learning, and why and how movement and dance should be part of school curricula. This exploration arguers that becoming more aware of bodily sensations serves as a basis for knowing, communicating, learning, and teaching through movement and dance. This book will be of great interest to scholars and students interested in teaching methodology and for courses in physical education, dance, and education.
Rechtliche Aspekte der Genom-Editierung an der menschlichen Keimbahn: A Comparative Legal Study (Veröffentlichungen des Instituts für Deutsches, Europäisches und Internationales Medizinrecht, Gesundheitsrecht und Bioethik der Universitäten Heidelberg und Mannheim #47)
by Jochen Taupitz Silvia DeuringDas Buch enthält 19 Landesberichte und eine rechtsvergleichende Analyse der rechtlichen Regelungen zum Verfahren der Genom-Editierung an der menschlichen Keimbahn. Es wird herausgearbeitet, welche gemeinsamen Werte die verschiedenen Rechtsordnungen verbinden und welche Unterschiede bestehen. Auf dieser Grundlage wird untersucht, ob eine internationale Regulierung der Thematik möglich ist und wie diese ausgestaltet sein könnte. Zudem soll untersucht werden, in wie weit die Regelungen anderer Länder als Modell für die deutsche Gesetzgebung dienen können.
Rechtliche Herausforderungen moderner Verfahren der Intervention in die menschliche Keimbahn: CRISPR/Cas9, hiPS-Zellen und Mitochondrientransfer im deutsch-französischen Rechtsvergleich (Veröffentlichungen des Instituts für Deutsches, Europäisches und Internationales Medizinrecht, Gesundheitsrecht und Bioethik der Universitäten Heidelberg und Mannheim #49)
by Silvia DeuringDieses Buch befasst sich mit der rechtlichen Bewertung von modernen Verfahren der Intervention in die menschliche Keimbahn, d.h. von gentechnischen Veränderungen am Menschen, die an die nachfolgenden Generationen weitergegeben werden. Neuartige Methoden wie die CRISPR/Cas9-Technik, der Mitochondrientransfer und die Möglichkeit der Herstellung artifizieller Gameten aus hiPS-Zellen stellen das Recht vor neue Herausforderungen. Insbesondere ist fraglich, ob die aktuell bestehenden Gesetze diese neuen Verfahren noch erfassen oder ob gesetzliche Lücken entstanden sind. Dieses Buch analysiert in diesem Zusammenhang die Rechtslage in Deutschland und Frankreich. Es behandelt dabei sowohl genetische Veränderungen an menschlichen Keimbahnzellen zur Forschung in vitro als auch solche, die in der Geburt von Menschen münden. Zudem wird der Frage nachgegangen, ob das deutsche Verfassungsrecht einer Anwendung dieser Verfahren grundsätzlich entgegensteht oder ob eine gesetzliche Zulassung in der Zukunft unter bestimmten Voraussetzungen möglich wäre. Auf der Grundlage des Rechtsvergleichs sowie der verfassungsrechtlichen Untersuchung formuliert das Buch einen Regelungsvorschlag, sowohl zur Beseitigung aktuell bestehender rechtlicher Lücken und Unklarheiten als auch im Hinblick auf eine (künftige) mögliche Anwendung der Verfahren.
Rechtsnorm und ästhetische Reflexion: Studien zum Verhältnis zwischen den Hermeneutiken des Rechts und der Literatur (Literatur und Recht #13)
by Gideon StieningDer Band versammelt Studien zur juristischen und zur literarischen Hermeneutik sowie zu deren Verhältnis. Auf der Grundlage philosophischer und theologischer Konzepte zum Verstehen und zur Interpretation von Texten werden die Besonderheiten der Auslegung von Recht und Literatur erörtert. Die spezielle Herausforderung besteht in der Korrelation der spezifisch juristischen und spezifisch literarischen Kunst der Auslegung. Berücksichtigt werden zudem der historische Wandel dieser Bereichshermeneutiken und deren Verhältnis zueinander.
Rechtsontologie: Eine Untersuchung über Entstehung, Existenz und Begründung von Recht (Juridicum - Schriften zur Rechtsphilosophie)
by André Ferreira Leite de PaulaDas Buch bietet eine Analyse der Ontologie des Rechts in Auseinandersetzung mit den wichtigsten realistischen, konstruktivistischen und phänomenologischen Konzeptionen. Die Darstellung verläuft problemorientiert, anstatt auf einzelne Autoren oder Theorien zentriert zu sein. Anhand einer Analyse der Verhältnisse von Normativität und Bewusstsein zeigt der Autor, wie sowohl das nichtpositive Recht als auch ungerechte Rechtsnormen eine Ontologie haben können und dass jeglicher Anspruch auf überpositives Recht in letzter Instanz naturrechtlich ist. Es wird auch ontologisch dargelegt, wie das richterliche Entscheiden einen berechtigten Anspruch auf Wahrheit erheben kann.

Verschiedene typische Charakteristika wie das spezielle Verh#65533;ltnis zu den Medien oder der charismatische Anf#65533;hrer sollen den Blick f#65533;r populistische Ph#65533;nomene in der heutigen Zeit kl#65533;ren und die Analyse der beiden Fallbeispiele PVV und AfD, sowie ihre spezifischen Eigenheiten leichter nachvollziehbar machen.
Rechtspraxis in einer globalisierten Lebenswelt: Interkulturelle Kompetenz als Schlüsselqualifikation für Juristen
by Martina Weis-DalalInterkulturalität ist in sämtlichen Bereichen des alltäglichen Lebens zu einem Merkmal unserer Zeit geworden. Mit den sich hieraus ergebenden Herausforderungen sieht sich auch die deutsche Justiz zunehmend konfrontiert. Am Beispiel des Strafrechts gibt dieser Band Aufschluss darüber, in welchen Hinsichten Kultur in der Rechtspraxis von Bedeutung ist, welche Fähigkeiten interkulturelle Kompetenz in Rechtsprechung und Rechtsberatung ausmachen und stellt Konzepte vor, wie eine zukunftsweisende Juristenausbildung aussehen könnte, die der Vielfalt unserer globalisierten Lebenswelt Rechnung trägt.Die AutorinDie Kulturwissenschaftlerin und Pädagogin Martina Weis-Dalal war in den Jahren 2014 - 2020 als wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin an der Juristischen Fakultät der Universität Würzburg tätig, wo sie das interdisziplinäre Lehrprojekt „Globale Systeme und interkulturelle Kompetenz“ (GSiK) vertrat und zu Interkulturalität und Recht lehrte.

Reciprocity (Routledge Revivals)
by Lawrence C. BeckerThe tendency to reciprocate – to return good for good and evil for evil – is a potent force in human life, and the concept of reciprocity is closely connected to fundamental notions of ‘justice’, ‘obligation’ or ‘duty’, ‘gratitude’ and ‘equality’. In Reciprocity, first published in 1986, Lawrence Becker presents a sustained argument about reciprocity, beginning with the strategy for developing a moral theory of the virtues. He considers the concept of reciprocity in detail, contending that it is a basic virtue that provides the basis for parental authority, obligations to future generations, and obedience to law. Throughout the first two parts of the book, Becker intersperses short pieces of his own narrative fiction to enrich reflection on the philosophical arguments. The final part is devoted to extensive bibliographical essays, ranging over anthropology, psychology, political theory and law, as well as the relevant ethics and political philosophy.
