Contemporary Co-housing in Europe: Towards Sustainable Cities?
- 2020
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This book investigates co-housing as an alternative housing form in relation to sustainable urban development. Co-housing is often lauded as a more sustainable way of living. The primary aim of this book is to critically explore co-housing in the context of wider social, economic, political and environmental developments. This volume fills a gap in the literature by contextualising co-housing and related housing forms. With focus on Denmark, Sweden, Hamburg and Barcelona, the book presents general analyses of co-housing in these contexts and provides specific discussions of co-housing in relation to local government, urban activism, family life, spatial logics and socio-ecology. This book will be of interest to students and researchers in a broad range of social-scientific fields concerned with housing, urban development and sustainability, as well as to planners, decision-makers and activists.

Garments without Guilt?: Global Labour Justice and Ethical Codes in Sri Lankan Apparels
- 2022
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Sri Lanka's apparel sector holds an enviable place in the imaginary of its competitors for having a niche position amongst global retailers, given its claims of producing 'garments without guilt'. Exploitative labour conditions are not part of the industry's portfolio – ethicality, eco-friendly production and unblemished conditions of work are. Sri Lanka's transition away from a protracted ethnic war has meant that the industry portrays itself as investing in the former war zone to create jobs without reflection on how its vaunted mantle, the deployment of ethical codes effectively, themselves may be under duress. This book uses an analytical framing informed by labour and feminist perspectives to explore how labour struggles in the post-1977 period in Sri Lanka provided important resistance to capitalist processes and continue to shape the industry both within and outside of the shop floor. It studies contextual moments in the country's recent history to rupture the dominant narrative and record the centrality of labour in the success of the country's apparel industry.

Demografiska myter : Föreställningar om landsbygden - mer myter än faktiska fakta
- 2012
-
Bok (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Storstäder associeras med spännande och kreativa miljöer med oväntade möten medan landsbygden påminner oss om harmoni och trivsamt tempo i omgivningar där alla känner alla. Men både den urbana miljön och den rurala har också ett antal problem att handskas med. Vissa, som till exempel segregationen i storstadsmiljöerna, är relativt väldokumenterade och analyserade, medan andra bygger mer på myter och föreställningar utan empiriskt stöd. På samma sätt finns värderingsmässiga uppfattningar om huruvida det är i stadsmiljö eller i landsbygdsmiljö det goda livet kan levas.

The Beatles Beatles Bop - Hamburg Days
- 2001
-
Bok (refereegranskat)abstract
- 40 years ago the Liverpool foursome -still without Ringo Starr and billed as The Beat Brothers- issued their first recordings with Tony Sheridan. Legendary producer Bert Kaempfert recorded the now-famous songs, and they were released on Polydor. They were the earliest commercial recordings by the Beatles, and for four decades the original vinyl releases have been very highly sought-after. Since the dawn of the CD era, the Polydor recordings have been available, but mostly as uninspired 8-song discs with a single piece of coloured paper pretending to be a booklet. No one ever seemed to care about the different versions, and wealth of mixes and variations that existed in several archives around the world. Following up on an idea by the Hamburg journalist and author Bernd Matheja ('1000 Nadelstiche') and in co-operation with Swedish Beatles specialist Hans Olof Gottfridsson ('The Beatles - From Cavern To Star-Club') Bear Family now proudly presents all available recordings of Tony Sheridan & The Beatles / Beat Brothers. An incredible 38 (!!!) versions from the so-called 'Polydor Years', all lovingly restored from tapes that -in some cases- were considered non-existent or lost. Finally, collectors get stereo and mono, partly overdubbed versions, takes with different lyrics and much more! However, that's not all! There's an incredible book accompanying this milestone release (by Hans Olof Gottfridsson). In this book very rare documents, single picture sleeves, and rare photos tell the story of these songs, and the four young men from Liverpool, then at the dawn of their careers. Here is one of the building blocks of modern music. (BEAR FAMILY RECORDS, 2001) "it's the book which makes the project worthwhile. It tells in great detail the story of how the Polydor recordings came about.", Record Collector, February 2002, (UK)."... a marvellous artefact. ... Aimed at completists, but still fascinating.", Q Magazine, January 2002, (UK)."... Dazu gibt's ein Bilderbusch, das allein schon mit den Faksimiles der handgeschrieben Lebensläufe Überzeugt.", Der Spiegel, 3/2002 (Germany).
