Who's gonna cook this food?

women, housework and healthy diet

by Bela Gil

Today, after decades of scientific research and questioning of the fast-food industry, we know that ultra-processed foods are major promoters of chronic non-communicable diseases such as diabetes and hypertension, as well as contributing to the destruction of nature, since they are based on monocultures of commodities such as soy, wheat, corn and sugar cane. We also know that home cooking with fresh or minimally processed ingredients is the best option for nourishing the body, strengthening regional cultures and respecting the environment. But, as Bela Gil asks in her new book, who is going to make this food? Based on this question, the chef, presenter and activist links healthy eating, feminism and domestic work, complexifying a debate ignored by cookbooks and cooking shows. Is it the housewife, the mother, the grandmother, the wife, the migrant domestic worker, the poor black woman from the periphery who will continue to have to man the stove? And who will make her food, her family's food? In Who's going to make this food?, Bela Gil criticizes the historical devaluation of the act of cooking, which has its roots in slavery, and calls for the payment of wages for domestic work, a theme of the work of thinkers such as Silvia Federici. “Is it right that, for a few to have fresh food and be healthy and free to pursue their dreams, many others have to make do with ultra-processed products that are bad for the body and the planet - and that's when they don't go hungry?”

Using Europe: territorial party strategies in a multi-level system

by Eve Hepburn

This book explores how regional political parties use Europe to advance their territorial projects in times of rapid state restructuring. It examines the ways in which decentralization and supranational integration have encouraged regional parties to pursue their strategies across multiple territorial levels. This book constitutes the first attempt to unravel the complexities of how nationalist and statewide parties manoeuvre around the twin issues of European integration and decentralization, and exploit the shifting linkages within multi-level political systems. In a detailed comparative examination of three cases - Scotland, Bavaria and Sardinia - over a thirty-year period, the book explores how integration has altered the nature of territorial party competition and identifies the limits of Europe for territorial projects. In addressing these issues, this work moves beyond present scholarship on multi-level governance to explain the diversity of regional responses to Europe. By providing important new insights and empirical research on the conduct of territorial party politics, and an innovative model of territorial mobilization in Europe, this book will be of great interest to students and scholars of comparative politics, European studies, regionalism and federalism, political parties and devolution. ;

Bordering social reproduction

Migrant mothers and children making lives in the shadows

by Rachel Rosen, Eve Dickson

Bordering social reproduction explores what happens when migrants subject to policies that seek to deny them the means of life nonetheless endeavour to make and sustain meaningful lives. Developing innovative theorisations of welfare bordering, the volume provides rich ethnographic insights into the everyday lives of destitute mothers and children who are denied mainstream welfare support in the United Kingdom due to their immigration status. This book shows how enforced destitution and debt work alongside detention and deportation as part of a tripartite of exclusionary technologies of the racial state. It advances the novel concept of weathering to comprehend mother's and children's life-making practices under duress - arguing that these are neither acts of heroic resilience nor solely symptomatic of lives rendered disposable, but indications of the fragilities of repressive migration regimes and, on occasion, refusals to accept their terms of existence.

Charles Darwin und seine Wirkung

by Eve-Marie Engels

Mit seiner Abstammungstheorie legte Charles Darwin den Grundstein für die Herausbildung der Biologie als Naturwissenschaft. Er schuf damit einen Rahmen, der es ermöglichte, die verschiedenen biologischen Disziplinen in einen systematischen Zusammenhang zu bringen, ihre Ergebnisse aus einer einheitlichen Perspektive neu zu deuten und weitere Forschungsfelder zu erschließen. Dieser Prozeß der theoretischen Integration verlief nicht immer reibungslos. Darwins revolutionäre Wirkung betrifft neben der Biologie auch unser Menschen- und Naturbild. Die Einbettung des Menschen in die Evolution des Lebendigen beinhaltet Herausforderungen für Ethik, Erkenntnistheorie und andere Geistes- und Humanwissenschaften. Der Sammelband gibt einen Überblick über Darwins Wirkung in diesen verschiedenen Kontexten.

Erkenntnis als Anpassung?

Eine Studie zur Evolutionären Erkenntnistheorie

by Eve-Marie Engels

Die Verfasserin unterzieht die derzeit im deutschsprachigen Raum vorherrschende Variante der Evolutionären Erkenntnistheorie (Konrad Lorenz, Gerhard Vollmer, Rupert Riedl) einer detaillierten Kritik, die jedoch nicht auf die Zurückweisung einer Evolutionären Erkenntnistheorie als solcher zielt, sondern dem Entwurf einer von überzogenen Ansprüchen bereinigten Version dieser Theorie dienen soll. Indem die Autorin durch Begriffsanalysen und -explikationen die terminologische Unscharfe der Evolutionären Erkenntnistheorie behebt, konsequent von den bisher nicht ausgeschöpften theoretischen Mitteln und Deutungsmöglichkeiten der Evolutionstheorie Gebrauch macht, in ihrer Skizze der »kognitiven Kompetenz« des Menschen gegenüber dem Angeborenen die biologische Relevanz der Flexibilität menschlichen Erkennens in den Vordergrund stellt und die systematische Bedeutung von Piagets genetischer Epistemologie für die Evolutionäre Erkenntnistheorie demonstriert, gelingt ihr ein überzeugendes Plädoyer für die Möglichkeit einer gemäßigten Version dieser Theorie.
