2013 Information Book Award nominee Long List Enraptured with raptors? Love lions? Protective of pelicans? Rob Laidlaw's latest has something for everyone. Having exposed the cruel treatment of animals in zoos and the entertainment industry with his previous two books, Rob Laidlaw sets out in Animal Sanctuaries and Rescue Centres to show a more positive side of the human-animal relationship: animal sanctuaries. From a donkey sanctuary in Canada to a bear rescue centre in China, this book examines numerous efforts around the world to rescue and care for animals in need.

Der neue Band aus der Reihe „Art and Architecture in Discussion" präsentiert den Architekten Ken Adam und die Künstlerin Katharina Fritsch im Gespräch mit Kuratoren. Ken Adams geniale Setdesigns für die frühen Bondfilme sind legendär. Ebenso einprägsam sind Katharina Fritschs enigmatische Skulpturen, die kollektive Ängste thematisieren. Fritschs und Adams Bildfindungen weisen erstaunliche formale Parallelen auf. Im Gespräch werden viele weitere unerwartete Verbindungen zwischen der Künstlerin und dem Designer deutlich.

Based on an ethnographic study of mobilisations of the Comorian diaspora in Marseille during political and cultural events, the book examines communitarisation in relation to three thematic areas, namely spaces, cultural markets and local politics. Drawing on Foucault’s concept of the dispositif, the author analyses mobilisations of postcolonial diaspora as part of a dispositif of communitarisation, that is, a set of discourses, practices, institutions and subjectivations of diasporic community. She argues that constructions of ‘community’ are both shaped by and shape ethnicised biopolitics, expressed by modes of governing diasporic groups along ethnicised divisions and a marking of ethnicised communities as the Other of the French Republic. The performativity of a Comorian community brought into being through political, cultural, economic and customary practices also shows how Comorian communities govern themselves along ethnicised categories, at the intersection with generation, gender, age classes, locality and class. Communitarisation processes as part of ethnicised (self-)governing reveal postcolonial power relations in France as well as practices of negotiation and contestation on the part of Comorian communities. This book will be of interest to scholars in the fields of critical diaspora studies, critical ethnography, discourse and dispositif analysis, postcolonial politics, and the African diaspora.

Known for her enormous sculptures, whose disorienting effects the viewer feels instantly, German artist Katharina Fritsch plays on primeval desires and fears. This volume includes 80 works from throughout Fritsch's career.

Die Mobilitätsforschung erhält durch die hier präsentierten Arbeiten neue Perspektiven. Der zweisprachige Band versammelt kritische Studien zu Geschichte, Gegenwart und Zukunft im Feld der interdisziplinären Mobilitätsforschung. Die kultur- und sozialwissenschaftlichen Inhalte spiegeln die Arbeit der Forschungsplattform "Mobile Kulturen und Gesellschaften" an der Universität Wien. Ihre Themen umfassen Migration, Flucht, Geschlecht und Mobilität, Mobilität und Medialität, mobile Kollektive, Bild- und Protestbewegungen sowie Übersetzung und Transfer. Zusammen mit einer Einleitung zur Konzeptualisierung und Bedeutung von Mobilität und mit einem Beitrag von Mimi Sheller über die Zukünfte ungleicher Mobilitäten, der aktuelle Erfahrungen von Immobilisierung und Quarantäne vorausdenkt, leistet der Band einen innovativen Beitrag zu dem hochaktuellen Forschungsfeld der Mobility Studies. Mit Beiträgen und unter Mitarbeit von: Syntia Hasenöhrl, Roman Kabelik, Barbara Maly-Bowie, Petra Dannecker, Birgit Sauer, Alev Çakir, Katharina Fritsch, Birgit Englert, Franz Eybl, Viktoria Metschl, Annegret Pelz, Alexandra Ganser, Kirsten Rüther, Marianne Windsperger, Philipp Wagner, Christian Wimplinger, Antje Wischmann, Mimi Sheller Aus rechtlichen Gründen sind die Abbildungen im Beitrag "Album und Picknickdecke: Stabilisierende Medien und ephemere Formen mobiler Kollektivbildung" von Annegret Pelz und der Beitrag "Zukünfte ungleicher Mobilität" von Mimi Sheller nur in der Printausgabe enthalten. This book collects critical observations in the context of the history, current state, and future of the fledgling interdisciplinary field of mobility studies. The twelve essays in cultural studies and the social sciences reflect work conducted at the Research Platform "Mobile Cultures and Societies," hosted by the University of Vienna, Austria. Topics include migration, flight, gendered mobilities, mobility and mediality, mobile collectives, moving images, protest movements as well as translation and transfer. Together with an introduction on the conceptualization and significance of mobility studies and an essay by Mimi Sheller on the futures of uneven mobilities, which anticipates current experiences of immobilization and quarantine, the articles present original contributions to this topical field of research.
