"As long as feminists have existed, they have been accused of being "killjoys," "buzzkills," "party poopers," and "wet blankets." For having the audacity to insist on a more-just world, feminists are criticized for getting in the way of other people's happiness. In The Feminist Killjoy Handbook, renowned feminist theorist Sara Ahmed reclaims the feminist killjoy-showing how killing joy can be a world-making, radical project. Featuring sharp analysis of literature, film, and influential feminist works, and drawing on her own experiences as a queer feminist scholar-activist of color, in The Feminist Killjoy Handbook Ahmed celebrates the feminist killjoy. Ahmed illuminates how the feminist killjoy is represented in our culture and recovers a black and brown feminist killjoy lineage-from bell hooks to Claudia Rankine, from Audre Lorde to Roxane Gay. With inspiring and insightful killjoy maxims, killjoy truths, and killjoy commitments woven throughout the book, Ahmed offers readers tips on how to survive as a feminist killjoy and illuminates the invaluable lessons the figure offers. Ahmed shows how the feminist killjoy offers a model for cultural criticism, philosophy, and poetry, and, ultimately, how it presents a roadmap for breaking current oppressive social structures and replacing them with more equitable ones. If getting in the way of other people's happiness is what it takes to transform our unjust world for the better, then getting in the way is not counterproductive but absolutely necessary. While the trope of the feminist killjoy has often been used against feminists, in The Feminist Killjoy Handbook, Ahmed transforms the taunt into a call to action. Written with Ahmed's characteristic blend of playfulness and urgency, The Feminist Killjoy Handbook is a love letter to feminist killjoys everywhere and an essential guide to living in, and remaking, this world"--

Das Erarbeiten von Bebauungsplänen ist eine Kernaufgabe kommunaler Verwaltungen. Sie muss in allen rund 11.000 Kommunen Deutschlands alltäglich bewältigt werden und betrifft die Bürgerinnen und Bürger in ihrem unmittelbaren Lebensumfeld. Um deren Beteiligung sicherzustellen, wurde die frühzeitige Öffentlichkeitsbeteiligung ins Gesetz geschrieben. In der vorliegenden Schriftenreihe Nr. 40 werden zunächst die aktuellen juristischen Kommentare betrachtet. Darauf aufbauend suchten und beschrieben die Autorinnen und Autoren die im Internet zugänglich gemachten Informationen zu 100 Bebauungsplanverfahren in 63 Kommunen aus allen Bundesländern und Gemeindegrößenklassen. Das so erzeugte Bild dürfte weitgehend repräsentativ für die Praxis im Bundesgebiet sein. Die Studie wurde von netzwerk stadt GmbH in Zusammenarbeit mit dem vhw erstellt.

Im vorliegenden Difu Policy Paper werden die Entwicklung des Themenkomplexes "Sustainable Finance" und die Regelsetzung der EU nachgezeichnet. Zudem werden die Implikationen für die Kommunen durchdekliniert. Daraus leitet sich mit Blick auf den weiteren Rechtsetzungsprozess der EU sowie die Implementierung in der Bundesrepublik eine ganze Reihe von Policy-Empfehlungen ab. Aus Sicht der Kommunen und öffentlichen Unternehmen ist beispielsweise eine Harmonisierung der Standards und Nachhaltigkeitsmetriken dringend notwendig, die Banken, Ratingagenturen, aber auch politische Institutionen derzeit unabhängig voneinander nutzen. Zudem muss eine Lösung dafür entwickelt werden, wie bei einem starken Fokus auf Klimaschutz und Klimaanpassung die soziale Dimension nicht vernachlässigt wird, die im Rahmen der Daseinsvorsorge so zentral für die Kommunen ist. Eine weitere Empfehlung richtet sich auf die Entwicklung übergreifender Nachhaltigkeitsnachweise für kommunale Investitionen. Denn in den Städten, Gemeinden und Landkreisen fehlt das Personal, um den grünen Gehalt für jedes einzelne Projekt nachzuweisen.

This book analyses the experiences of asylum seekers within the German asylum system based on the fieldwork conducted across Germany for the VULNER project. It focuses on how individuals experience their own vulnerability and independently use their agency to overcome vulnerable situations. Thus, the process of becoming vulnerable, the experience of being vulnerable and overcoming vulnerability as an asylum seeker will be explored. Although policy and legal frameworks increasingly reference the vulnerability of asylum seekers, this has not led to binding, transparent regulations that actively work to mitigate the challenges they face. For this book, however, the authors shifted the perspective from the state regulations and practices, to the lived experiences of vulnerable asylum seekers in relation to the asylum and reception procedures in Germany. The goal was to analyse how experiences of vulnerabilities are shaped and sometimes even produced by the legal and bureaucratic framework. To this end, the three intertwined analytical concepts of agency, temporality and intersectionality are used as a guideline to analyse asylum seekers' individual and situational vulnerabilities with regards to the German system. When focusing on situational vulnerability, this book emphasises the conditions of vulnerability that could be connected to an administrative condition of uncertainty such as being an asylum seeker whose application for asylum has not been decided yet. In addition, people can experience other forms of vulnerabilities that can be caused by uncertainty related to their legal status – such as being undocumented, stateless, in detention, in reception centres far from the communities and social/care resources. In these cases, there can be many factors that exacerbate a situation of vulnerability, e.g. the fact of being dependent from the authorities, limited access to medical and care assistance, or limited contact with family and mediators. To emphasise these structural factors of vulnerability the book uses the term administrative vulnerability as a form of situational vulnerability when examining the relationship between experiences of vulnerabilities and the legal and bureaucratic framework.
