Total Market American: Race, Data, and Advertising
by Marcel Rosa-SalasIn Total Market American, Marcel Rosa-Salas explores how US advertising reinforces racial categories for profit. Through ethnographic research at advertising agencies and key industry events, Rosa-Salas highlights advertising strategy as an influential commercial arena for racial theorizing closely linked to the forms of racial knowledge prevalent in government, academia, and business. Central to her analysis is what she calls the industry’s “racial information system”—a network of practices, personnel, and technologies that institutionalize racial classification as both a predictive and persuasive tool with the aim of influencing consumer behaviors among Hispanic, Asian, and Black Americans. Within this information system, the “general market" is implicitly defined as both white and the average American while other racialized groups are classified as a “multicultural market" that sustains white normativity and monetizes racial difference. Amid demographic shifts, some brands claim to champion racial inclusivity through the rise of “total market” strategies, but Rosa-Salas shows that these techniques actually perpetuate a legacy of racial distinctions in US advertising, including within the classification algorithms that drive digital advertising and surveillance.

The Hiding Place
by Kate MildenhallThey&’re good people. Why shouldn&’t they get what they deserve? When Lou sees an ad for a long-abandoned mining town up for sale, it doesn&’t take her long to convince her sister and their oldest friends to go in on the idyllic property buried in the bush – a place where the four families can hide away on weekends, get back to nature and unstick the kids from their screens. But things start to go wrong before they even arrive for their first camping trip – a rogue deer sends a trailer off the road, a neighbour complains about the fence line and squatters have set up camp down by the river. Soon none of that will matter, though, because by the end of the first night someone will be dead. At first it seems that hiding a body is easier than keeping other sorts of secrets: a lost job, an illegal crop, an outrageous affair, a little embezzlement. But what&’s buried has a way of coming to the surface, and even in the bush, it&’s hard to remain unseen.White Lotus meets The Slap in a razor-sharp literary thriller about deception and self-deception, and how far people will go to protect what they feel they ought to have.&‘Absolutely brilliant. I wish I had written this book.&’ Hayley Scrivenor, author of Dirt Town

Dismantling the Nation: Contemporary Art in Chile
by Florencia San MartínThe first volume to theorize and historicize contemporary artistic practices from Chile in the English language, Dismantling the Nation begins from a position of radical criticism against the nation-state of Chile and its capitalist, heteronormative, and extractivist rule. At a truly pivotal moment in the country’s history, when it is redefining what it wants to be, the works here propose a way of forging a feminist and decolonial future for Chile. The authors attend to practices from distinct locations in Chile, reconceptualizing geographical borders from a transnational and transdisciplinary perspective while engaging with ecocriticism and Indigenous epistemologies. This is an essential volume for anyone looking to understand the current social, political, and artistic movements in Chile.
Curating the Commons: Socially Engaged Public Art
by Katia Arfara Aikaterini ArfaraSince the 2008 financial crisis and Occupy movements around the globe, artists have increasingly turned to socially engaged public art to create new models of artistic production and community engagement. Curating the Commons examines this turn through an in-depth study of performance-centered public art presented in Athens and Piraeus, Greece, during the austerity years. Extending from Henri Lefebvre’s theory of social space, Arfara examines art and social engagement in relation to the commons and self-organized solidarity initiatives, including performance, photography, film, and sculptures that appeared in unexpected urban spaces to complicate notions of memory, mobility, and belonging. These works all ask the question: Who has the right to the city? Combining her scholarly and curatorial work, Arfara advocates for performance-centered public art that resists processes of exclusion and segregation, reclaiming public space as a commons. By sharing critical insights, Arfara immerses the reader in the working processes of artists and collectives, showing how public art can address ecosocial concerns in aesthetic forms. Curating the Commons offers a grounded perspective on the making of cutting-edge, socially engaged public artworks and contributes to the larger effort to craft more-than-human narratives in response to global events.

The Everyday Life of Civil Society: Changes and Scene Styles in Italian Third-Sector Organizations (Palgrave Studies in Third Sector Research)
by Sebastiano CitroniThis book explores the challenges facing third-sector groups in Italy after changes such as the professionalization and commercialization of non-profit groups and their increased role as suppliers of public services in local welfare systems, as well as partners in recent governance arrangements. These changes have sparked debates about the general role of third-sector groups and the potential decline of their role as civil society actors. The book focuses on three major changes and associated debates, exploring their everyday implications to ask the question &‘What are the consequences of shifts in action approaches, civic participation, and relations with public authorities?&’ Backed by four years of ethnographic empirical data, it reveals that the meaning of these changes varies even within a single organization, depending on the observed scenes of its everyday life. By introducing five "scene styles," interaction patterns shaping exchanges between professionals, volunteers, and activists, the book analyses third-sector organizations and reveals unexpected political functions that take shape underneath that which is openly declared.
Sustainable Wildlife Tourism
by Abel Ansporthy MamboleoThis book advocates transitioning from a conventional to a sustainable wildlife tourism paradigm by adopting principles of sustainable development, providing a detailed concept and procedure for integrating the different concepts and approaches to sustainable tourism, with a focus on the frequently overlooked link between conventional and sustainable tourism. It emphasizes the advancement of sustainable tourism in wildlife tourism at both the attraction and destination levels. Based on the theoretical implications, the book adds to the existing knowledge of sustainable tourism development by providing a framework for a better understanding and integration of conventional and responsible medical tourism. It supports the argument that implementing sustainable development principles is one of the key solutions for reducing or eliminating related impacts from wildlife tourism. Moreover, this book addresses the unsustainability problem of wildlife tourism by suggesting the adoption of guiding principles of responsible tourism, which are bottom-line strategies for the implementation of sustainable wildlife tourism. However, the adoption of sustainable tourism comes with certain expenses and requirements. It may necessitate that the destinations undergo fundamental changes in their existing legal and policy frameworks. Furthermore, this book has practical and theoretical implications for academics, wildlife and tourism professionals, students, policymakers, and wildlife tourists with or without sufficient background in wildlife tourism, as it initially introduces the readers to the basic concepts of wildlife tourism, responsible tourism, and sustainable tourism. It also explores the various dimensions of traditional wildlife tourism, their impacts, and challenges.
Advancing Learning Factories: Proceedings of the 15th Conference on Learning Factories 2025, Volume 1 (Lecture Notes in Networks and Systems #1545)
by Konrad Von Leipzig Louis Louw Vera Hummel Imke De KockIndustrial companies aim to offer unique products and service bundles to their customers. At the same time, they must shape their value-adding processes to address current challenges such as digitalization, intelligent systems, resilience, human-centredness, and sustainability. Managing these necessary transition processes relies heavily on staff competency. Ultimately, well-prepared students, qualified engineers, and workers must plan and implement the required steps. Qualification processes must be oriented towards these practical requirements. Thus, appropriate learning systems for developing the competencies needed to set up and operate new production processes are crucial for the factory of the future. Learning factories are recognized as a promising path to meet these future needs. They provide an interactive learning environment where pilot or real-scale processes and technologies are in place, allowing direct access to the product creation process (product development, manufacturing, quality management, logistics). Learning factories are based on a didactical concept that emphasizes experimental and problem-based learning. The continuous improvement philosophy is facilitated by the participants&’ own actions and interactive involvement. Through the learning factory, various stakeholders can grasp the complex technical and organizational interrelationships of today&’s industrial environment and acquire the competencies to systematically improve it. The Conference on Learning Factories (CLF) provides a regular platform for academic, educational, and industrial stakeholders to exchange the latest knowledge and developments in this domain. The Conference on Learning Factories (CLF) is the annual conference of the International Association of Learning Factories (IALF), attracting top academics and researchers in the field of learning factories to meet, engage, and share their R&D findings. The goal of the CLF is to promote cooperation among members to achieve excellence in teaching and research in the field of learning factories. Each year, the conference attracts about 130 participants worldwide. The 15th Conference on Learning Factories (CLF) was hosted by the Department of Industrial Engineering at Stellenbosch University, in the beautiful town of Stellenbosch, South Africa. The conference covered the following main topics: technology implementation and evaluation related to learning factories, learning and didactic processes and evaluation related to learning factories, learning factory business models and cooperation (industry and academic), learning factory concepts and infrastructure, and learning factories for sustainability and resilience.
The French Catalan People in Revolution and War, 1789-95 (War, Culture and Society, 1750–1850)
by Simon F. ReeveThis book examines the effect of the French Revolution and the ensuing war with Spain on northern Catalonia, annexed by France in the seventeenth century and constrained by the imposition of a political border along the Pyrenees. Assimilation of the northern Catalan people into France had been slow; by 1789, the Catalan-speaking majority remained stubbornly linked to their ethnic counterparts south of the Pyrenees. This work examines how confrontation between national and local allegiances played out as the French Revolutionary leadership propagated the concept of the nation state and challenged deeply-held traditional religious beliefs. Using detailed analysis of contemporary local sources, it illustrates the impact of geographic and ethnic ties within a historically insular region on the wider conflict between France and Spain. Local communities reacted, often in dramatically different ways, to being the frontline of an existential national war. French Catalans were forced into taking sides, some from conviction with others acting more pragmatically. Many chose to cross the frontier to Spain to escape persecution and retribution, only to return later when events allowed. Although weakened since annexation, the persistence of Catalan identity and loyalties remained a hugely significant factor in determining the course of the Revolution in this region.
