Feminist Political Ecology explores the gendered relations of
ecologies, economies and politics in communities as diverse as the
rubbertappers in the rainforests of Brazil to activist groups
fighting racism in New York City.
Women are often at the centre of these struggles, struggles which
concern local knowledge, everyday practice, rights to resources,
sustainable development, environmental quality, and social
justice.
The book bridges the gap between the academic and rural orientation
of political ecology and the largely activist and urban focus of
environmental justice movements.

Powerlessness, marginality, and dispossession are found in all
corners of the world. The aim of this book is to enable
facilitators from inside, as well as outside, communities to
empower those people who are frequently omitted from the
decision-making process.;The book explores participatory approaches
to development and offers innovative, collaborative tools for
working with local groups and communities. The tools described
here, are sensitive to cultural and social differences, and have
been designed to increase the capacities of local communities,
NGOs, and public sector agencies by integrating applied and
analytical methods for consciousness-raising, data-gathering,
community decision-making, advocacy and development activities.;The
book focuses on participatory capacity-building in ways that
address the practical needs and strategic interests of the
disadvantaged and disempowered, and it pays particular attention to
gender issues. Other issues examined by this book include how
differences in class, ethnicity, race, caste, religion, age and
status may also lead to the "politics of exclusion" that this book
aims to avoid.;In addition to being a tool book, the contributors
also address some of the issues raised through working in a
participatory way, such as: the ends and means of participation,
uneven relations of power among participants, temporal context,
spatial scale, and the array of organizations involved.

Das Buch bietet am exemplarischen Beispiel des Nurnberger
Fruhneuhochdeutschen um 1500 eine systematische
historisch-synchrone Darstellung der Adjektivderivation. Die
Untersuchung knupft an die Arbeiten zur substantivischen (Peter O.
Muller) und verbalen Wortbildung (Mechthild Habermann) des
Fruhneuhochdeutschen an und basiert auf einem Textcorpus, das aus
den Schriften dreier Nurnberger Autoren des 15./16. Jahrhunderts
besteht (Albrecht Durer, Veit Dietrich, Heinrich Deichsler). Die
Arbeit gliedert sich in einen methodisch-theoretischen Teil, der
sich mit den Rahmenbedingungen und Spezifika der adjektivischen
Wortbildung befasst, und einen empirischen Analyseteil. In der
Wortbildungsanalyse werden zunachst die mor-phologischen Typen der
Adjektivderivation, sodann die Funktionstypen und Funktionsklassen
beschrieben und schliesslich mit dem gegenwartssprachlichen System
der Adjektivderivation verglichen. Dabei zeigt sich im Kernbereich
eine weitgehende UEbereinstmmung zwischen beiden Sprachperioden.
Daruber hinaus lasst die diachrone Sprachentwicklung aber eine
Erweiterung des Systems um die exogene Derivation sowie einen
Vereinheitlichungsprozess durch den Abbau von Konkurrenzen
erkennen.
