It explores the links between communication language and identity arguing for a certain gravity to the practice of speech for offering only meaningful words to the people we talk to. We are the words we hear and utter we are the words we think and Anna Lisa Tota invites us to use “eco-words” to change the world we live in: “This book is a proposal to myself and to you dear Reader an invitation to change together: while you read and while I write bridging the temporal and spatial gap that separates us and makes it impossible for us to help each other”.

Islands of Rainforest Agroforestry Logging and Eco-Tourism in Solomon Islands

Islands of Rainforest Agroforestry Logging and Eco-Tourism in Solomon Islands

This title was first published in 2000: An original and thought-provoking analysis of modern initiatives in the tropical rain forest. While issues such as logging eco-timber eco-tourism have been widely analyzed from an outsider’s perspective this book considers them from the local people’s viewpoint in terms of a long history of the rainforest uses. The authors demonstrate that the relationship of indigenous people to the tropical forest is not essentially timeless nor is it primarily spiritual or mystical. It is in fact firmly connected to modern realities while still being rooted in historical beliefs and practices. Standing at the intersection of anthropology historical geography and rainforest ecology and also at the interface of the local and the global this ethnographically grounded study dispels a number of commonly held assumptions. It reveals how processes of ’impact’ are actually two-way interactions as local communities in Melanesia incorporate industries like logging into rapidly evolving post-colonial society and economy. | Islands of Rainforest Agroforestry Logging and Eco-Tourism in Solomon Islands

Frankenstein Urbanism Eco Smart and Autonomous Cities Artificial Intelligence and the End of the City

Frankenstein Urbanism Eco Smart and Autonomous Cities Artificial Intelligence and the End of the City

This book tells the story of visionary urban experiments shedding light on the theories that preceded their development and on the monsters that followed and might be the end of our cities. The narrative is threefold and delves first into the eco-city second the smart city and third the autonomous city intended as a place where existing smart technologies are evolving into artificial intelligences that are taking the management of the city out of the hands of humans. The book empirically explores Masdar City in Abu Dhabi and Hong Kong to provide a critical analysis of eco and smart city experiments and their sustainability and it draws on numerous real-life examples to illustrate the rise of urban artificial intelligences across different geographical spaces and scales. Theoretically the book traverses philosophy urban studies and planning theory to explain the passage from eco and smart cities to the autonomous city and to reflect on the meaning and purpose of cities in a time when human and non-biological intelligences are irreversibly colliding in the built environment. Iconoclastic and prophetic Frankenstein Urbanism is both an examination of the evolution of urban experimentation through the lens of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and a warning about an urbanism whose product resembles Frankenstein’s monster: a fragmented entity which escapes human control and human understanding. Academics students and practitioners will find in this book the knowledge that is necessary to comprehend and engage with the many urban experiments that are now alive ready to leave the laboratory and enter our cities. | Frankenstein Urbanism Eco Smart and Autonomous Cities Artificial Intelligence and the End of the City

Eco-Friendly and Fair Fast Fashion and Consumer Behaviour

Eco-Friendly and Fair Fast Fashion and Consumer Behaviour

The make-take-waste paradigm of fast fashion explains much of the producer and consumer behavior patterns towards fast fashion. The evolution from a two-season fashion calendar to fast fashion characterized by rapid product cycles from retailers and impulse buying by consumers presents new challenges to the environment workplace and labour practices. This book provides a comprehensive overview of new insights into consumer behaviour mechanisms in order to shift practices toward sustainable fashion and to minimize the negative impacts of fast fashion on the environment and society. Concepts and techniques are presented that could overcome the formidable economic drivers of fast fashion and lead toward a future of sustainable fashion. While the need for change in the fashion industry post-Rana Plaza could not be more obvious alternative and more sustainable consumption models have been under-investigated. The paucity of such research extends to highly consumptive consumer behaviours regarding fast fashion (i. e. impulse buying and throwaways) and the related impediments these behaviours pose for sustainable fashion. Written by leading researchers in the field of sustainable fashion and supported by the Textile Institute this book evaluates fashion trends what factors have led to new trends and how the factors supporting fast fashion differ from those of the past. It explores the economic drivers of fast fashion and what social environmental and political factors should be maintained and business approaches adopted in order for fast fashion to be a sustainable model. In particular it provides consumer behaviour concepts that can be utilized at the retail level to support sustainable fashion. | Eco-Friendly and Fair Fast Fashion and Consumer Behaviour

A Qualitative Approach to Translation Studies Spotlighting Translation Problems

A Qualitative Approach to Translation Studies Spotlighting Translation Problems

This collection invites readers to explore innovative or underexploited ways of working qualitatively with what in Translation Studies may be termed as elusive constructs. The volume adopts a functionalist approach to focus on one such concept namely the notion of translation problem using case studies to illustrate how a significant elusive construct can be addressed empirically. It explores different qualitative research methodologies which although well established in other fields are yet to be extensively used in TS but which may nevertheless prove to be of significance for future studies as they allow elusive concepts typically found in TS to be worked with more coherently. Chapters are structured around two core ideas: first the qualitative systematic analysis of source text content with emphasis on the detection of translation problems as a means of creating efficient frameworks for coherent decision-making from a functional perspective; and secondly the practical process of stereotyping and profiling specific problems within different contexts content types or services to help identify manage and resolve them in a number of settings from research to professional translator training and assessment environments. This book will be of interest to scholars in translation studies particularly those with an interest in qualitative approaches. | A Qualitative Approach to Translation Studies Spotlighting Translation Problems

Environmental Literacy and New Digital Audiences

Environmental Literacy and New Digital Audiences

Environmental literacy and education is not simply a top-down process of disseminating correct attitudes values and beliefs. Rather it is one that incorporates and facilitates a dialogue with audiences of different persuasions and at all levels of engagement to help highlight and co-produce consensual solutions to the major eco-challenges of our time. Exploring the growing power and influence of media formats and outlets like YouTube and gaming alongside fictional and documentary film this book considers new modes of environmental literacy to ascertain the effectiveness of digital and filmic stimuli on an audience’s perception of environmental issues and its specific impact on environmental action. Drawing on extensive research across a broad range of media formats Brereton establishes how environmental narratives and meanings are created and being received by contemporary audiences. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of environmental communication and media eco-criticism and environmental humanities more broadly. | Environmental Literacy and New Digital Audiences

The Business of Less The Role of Companies and Households on a Planet in Peril

The Business of Less The Role of Companies and Households on a Planet in Peril

The Business of Less rewrites the book on business and the environment. For the last thirty years corporate sustainability was synonymous with the pursuit of ‘eco-efficiency’ and ‘win-win’ opportunities. The notion of ‘eco-efficiency’ gives us the illusion that we can achieve environmental sustainability without having to question the pursuit of never-ending economic growth. The ‘win-win’ paradigm is meant to assure us that companies can be protectors of the environment whilst also being profit maximizers. It is abundantly clear that the state of the natural environment has further degraded instead of improved. This book introduces a new paradigm designed to finally reconcile business and the environment. It is called ‘net green’ which means that in these times of ecological overshoot businesses need to reduce total environmental impact and not just improve the eco-efficiency of their products. The book also introduces and explains the four pollution prevention principles ‘again’ ‘different’ ‘less’ and ‘labor not materials’. Together ‘net green’ and the four pollution prevention principles provide a road map for businesses and for every household to a world in which human prosperity and a healthy environment are no longer at odds. The Business of Less is full of anecdotes and examples. This brings its material to life and makes the book not only very accessible but also hugely applicable for everyone who is worried about the fate of our planet and is looking for answers. | The Business of Less The Role of Companies and Households on a Planet in Peril

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

Ecocinema in the City

Ecocinema in the City

In Ecocinema in the City Murray and Heumann argue that urban ecocinema both reveals and critiques visions of urban environmentalism. The book emphasizes the increasingly transformative power of nature in urban settings explored in both documentaries and fictional films such as Children Underground White Dog Hatari! and Lives Worth Living. The first two sections—Evolutionary Myths Under the City and Urban Eco-trauma—take more traditional ecocinema approaches and emphasize the city as a dangerous constructed space. The last two sections—Urban Nature and Interdependence and The Sustainable City—however bring to life the vibrant relationships between human and nonhuman nature. Ecocinema in the City provides a space to explore these relationships revealing how ecocinema shows that both human and nonhuman nature can interact sustainably and thrive.

Gender Violence in Ecofeminist Perspective Intersections of Animal Oppression Patriarchy and Domination of the Earth

Gender Violence in Ecofeminist Perspective Intersections of Animal Oppression Patriarchy and Domination of the Earth

This book aims to begin an eco-centered eco-feminist informed discussion about the ways in which our relationship to “nature” is bound up with gender patriarchy and violence. Ecofeminist scholars study the interconnections between gendered relationships of domination among humans between humans and between humans nonhumans and the earth. It is in this ideological and structural tangle between humans and the environment that a deeper understanding of gender violence is possible. Ecofeminism offers analytical possibilities for understanding a “logic of domination” which sustain a whole host of problems including the interrelated oppressions of gender violence and exploitation of the more-than-human-life world. In this book Gwen Hunnicutt brings into dialog ecofeminism and gender violence. Ideological components such as speciesism and the belief that the earth and its nonhuman inhabitants are ours to exploit inform a host of other social practices including interpersonal violence. A portion of this book is devoted to exploring the ways in which patriarchy is foregrounded by another hierarchy—uman domination over “nature”. Thus gender violence stems from a logic of domination that is built on the domination of nature and the domination of the Other “as nature”. As this blueprint of oppression repeats itself where there are vectors of difference the chapters ultimately connect these oppressions by showing the inextricable bind of violence against humans and the more-than-human-life world. This book will serve as a resource for scholars activists and students in sociology gender violence and interdisciplinary violence studies critical animal studies environmental studies and feminist and ecofeminist studies. | Gender Violence in Ecofeminist Perspective Intersections of Animal Oppression Patriarchy and Domination of the Earth
