This book explores the evolving relationship between fashion and
transnational capitalism. It examines the inequalities and
injustices that this relationship embodies and engenders within the
interconnected domains of production, consumption, labour and
environmental ethics. It also considers national and transnational
ways of evading, resisting and dismantling those inequalities and
injustices. An accessible and compelling read, Fashion’s
Transnational Inequalities will appeal to students and scholars of
fashion, sociology, politics, cultural studies, and all those
interested in deconstructing the inequalities that exist in the
fashion industry globally.

Edward Said described a public intellectual as someone who uses
accessible language to address a designated public on matters of
social and political significance. The essays in Public
Intellectuals in South Africa apply this interpretive prism and
activist principle to a South African context and tell the stories
of well-known figures as well as some that have been mostly
forgotten. They include Magema Fuze, John Dube, Aggrey Klaaste,
Mewa Ramgobin and Koos Roets, alongside marginalised figures such
as Elijah Makiwane, Mandisi Sindo, William Pretorius and Dr Thomas
Duncan Greenlees. The essays capture the thoughts and opinions of
these historical figures, who the contributors argue are public
intellectuals who spoke out against the corruption of power,
promoted a progressive politics that challenged the colonial
project and its legacies, and encouraged a sustained dissent of the
political status quo. Offering fascinating accounts of the life and
work of these writers, critics and activists across a range of
historical contexts and disciplines, from journalism and arts
criticism to history and politics, it enriches the historical
record of South African public intellectual life. This volume makes
a significant contribution to ongoing debates about the value of
research in the arts and humanities, and what constitutes public
intellectualism in South Africa.
The first book in the Cultural Margins series is a 1994 study of
racism and homophobia in British politics, which demonstrates the
demonisation of blacks, lesbians, and gays in New Right discourse.
Anna Marie Smith develops theoretical insights from literary and
cultural critics, including Nietzsche, Foucault, Derrida, Hall, and
Gilroy, to produce detailed readings of two key moments in New
Right discourse: the speeches of Enoch Powell on black immigration
(1968-72) and the legislative campaign of the late 1980s to
prohibit the promotion of homosexuality. Her analysis challenges
the silence on racism and homophobia in previous studies of
Thatcherism and the New Right, and shows how demonisation of
lesbians and gays depends on previous demonisations of black
immigrant and criminal figures. Overall, this book offers a
devastating critique of racism and homophobia in late
twentieth-century Britain.
Veils and veiling are controversial topics in social and political
life, generating debates across the world. The veil is enmeshed
within a complex web of relations encompassing politics, religion
and gender, and conflicts over the nature of power, legitimacy,
belief, freedom, agency and emancipation. In recent years, the veil
has become both a potent and unsettling symbol and a rallying-point
for discourse and rhetoric concerning women, Islam and the nature
of politics. Early studies in gender, doctrine and politics of
veiling appeared in the 1970s following the Islamic revival and
're-veiling' trends that were dramatically expressed by 1979's
Iranian Islamic revolution. In the 1990s, research focussed on the
development of both an 'Islamic culture industry' and greater urban
middle class consumption of 'Islamic' garments and dress styles
across the Islamic world. In the last decade academics have studied
Islamic fashion and marketing, the political role of the headscarf,
the veiling of other religious groups such as Jews and Christians,
and secular forms of modest dress. Using work from contributors
across a range of disciplinary backgrounds and locations, this book
brings together these research strands to form the most
comprehensive book ever conceived on this topic. As such, this
handbook will be of interest to scholars and students of fashion,
gender studies, religious studies, politics and sociology.

This volume develops new theoretical and methodological approaches
to the archaeology of households pursuing three critical themes:
household diversity in human residential communities with and
without archaeologically identifiable houses, interactions within
and between households that explicitly considers impacts of kin and
non-kin relationships and lastly change as a process that involves
the choices made by members of households in the context of larger
societal constraints. Authors explore the role of social ties and
their material manifestations how the household relates to other
social units, how households consolidate power and control over
resources, and how these changes manifest at multiple scales. The
case studies presented in this volume have broader implications for
understanding the drivers of change, the ways households create the
contexts for change, and how households serve as spaces for
invention, reaction, and/or resistance.
Attacks by network-based transnational terrorist groups cause on
average 25,000 deaths every year worldwide, with the law
enforcement agencies of some states facing many challenges in
bringing those responsible to justice. Despite various attempts to
codify the law on transnational terrorism since the 1930s, a crime
of transnational terrorism under international law remains
contested, reflecting concerns regarding the relative importance of
prosecuting members of transnational terrorist groups before the
International Criminal Court. This book critically examines the
limits of international criminal law in bringing members of
transnational terrorist groups to justice in the context of
changing methods of warfare, drawing from human rights, sociology,
and best practices in international criminal justice. Drawing on
organisational network theory, Anna Marie Brennan explores the
nature of international crimes and assesses the potential for the
International Criminal Court to prosecute and investigate alleged
crimes perpetrated by members of transnational terrorist groups,
paying particular attention to their modus operandi and
organisational structure. This book argues that because of the
network-based organisational structure of some transnational
terrorist groups, achieving justice for victims will prove
challenging, in the context of the relationship between the
commanders and the subordinate members of the group requiring a
re-evaluation of accountability mechanisms at the international
level. In advancing an innovative perspective on the accountability
of members of transnational terrorist groups, and in offering
solutions to current challenges, the book will be of great interest
and use to academic, practitioners, and students engaged in the
study of terrorism, the ICC, or international humanitarian law.

This is the first full-length overview of the important work of
Ernesto Laclau and Chantal Mouffe. Anna Marie Smith clearly shows
how Laclau and Mouffe's work has brought Gramscian,
poststructuralist and psychoanalytic perspectives to revitalize
traditional political theory. With clarity and insight, she shows
how they have constructed a highly effective theory of identity
formation and power relations that carefully draws from postmodern
anti-foundationalist political theory.

In the third and final volume of this series, we examine the
implications of the accelerating globalization process for the
nation-state. Are globalization, the rise of regional and
international institutions, and the international agreements on
human rights actually reducing and transforming state sovereignty?
Clearly ethnic, racial, and religious identities remain salient,
but how do they correspond to, intersect with, and overflow
continuous nation-state spaces that are demarcated by legally
recognized borders? In what conditions do democratic state-building
projects actually enhance political, civil, and social rights, and
when do they tend to contribute to the consolidation of elite
power? Should democratic forces put their faith in a cosmopolitan
vision of global citizenship, especially when they tackle
quintessentially international and transnational problems like
peace, aboriginal rights, and the protection of the environment? In
this volume's collection of contemporary political sociologists'
key articles, we present work that explores the exposure of the
nation-state and the post-World War II world system to global
forces.

invites you into a mystic world of ancient forests, sensuous
seascapes and wondrous waterfalls brimming with mystery, meaning

Publications. The deck comes with a full-size book that explains
the myths associated with the image on each card as well as their
divinatory meanings. It also includes two original spreads.

strived in myth, and another who strode to open astrology in a new
land. Inspiring and practical, this is the deck you will use every
day and on special occasions. Whether this is going to be your
first deck or your hundredth deck, it is the deck you must
have.
Martin Lister, royal physician and fellow of the Royal Society, was
an extraordinarily prolific natural historian with an expertise in
shells and molluscs. Disappointed with the work of established
artists, Lister decided to teach his daughters, Susanna and Anna,
how to illustrate the specimens he studied. The sisters became so
skilled at this that Lister entrusted them with his great work,
'Historiae Conchyliorum', assembled between 1685 and 1692. This
first comprehensive study of conchology consisted of over 1,000
copperplates of shells and molluscs collected from around the
world. 'Martin Lister and his Remarkable Daughters' reconstructs
the creation of this masterwork, from the identification of the
original shells to the drawings themselves, and from the engraved
copperplates to the draft prints and final books. Susanna and Anna
portrayed the shells not only as curious and beautiful objects, but
also as specimens of natural history rendered with sensitivity and
keen scientific empiricism. Beautiful in their own right, these
illustrations and engravings reveal the early techniques behind
scientific illustration together with the often unnoticed role of
women in the scientific revolution.
This Element provides an overview of pre-modern and ancient
economies of the Pacific Northwest region of North America. The
region is widely known for its densely occupied semisedentary
villages, intensive production economies, dramatic ritual life, and
complex social relations. Scholars recognize significant diversity
in the structure of subsistence and goods production in the service
of domestic groups and institutional entities throughout the
region. Here, domestic and institutional economies, specialization,
distribution, economic development, and future directions are
reviewed. The Element closes with thoughts on the processes of
socio-economic change on the scales of houses, villages, and
regional strategies.
