"All publicity is good publicity? Perhaps not. In recent years global fashion brands, including Burberry, Dior, Dolce & Gabbana and Prada, have struggled to shake off costly scandals. Campaigns have been called out for cultural appropriation, racism, misogyny, and even flirting with fascism. Understanding Fashion Scandals is the first book to explore the changing landscape of contemporary fashion through case studies showing how 'shock value' lost its currency. The book focuses on the changes since the late-1970s/early 80s, when brands like Calvin Klein and Benetton first used controversy as a promotional tool to build their brand identity, to the contemporary industry where avoiding social media backlash is critical to survival. Analyzing the tactics brands adopt to avoid or mitigate scandals, Vänskä and Gurova map the fashion industry's journey towards cultural sustainability."

Zeitgemäße Stadtplanungskonzepte setzen die städtebauliche Mischung als Grundprinzip voraus und erkennen darin eine zwar herausfordernde, aber notwendige Praxis. In der Umsetzung ist sie jedoch umstritten und bleibt oft unerreicht oder im Ergebnis überraschend andersartig. Die Beiträger*innen setzen sich kritisch mit Aspekten der urbanen Mischung und der damit verknüpften Rolle von Architektur und Planung auseinander. Sie beleuchten Widersprüche und Herausforderungen und nennen Beispiele für neuartige Perspektiven und Qualitäten des Urbanen, für deren Sinnhaftigkeit, Erfolg oder Scheitern. Ihre Analysen liefern Grundlagen für das gegenwärtige und zukünftige kollaborative Planen und Bauen.

This book provides an extended examination of Nietzsche and Tocqueville's political thought, with an eye to shedding light on history's democratic drift. It looks not only to a future that filled both thinkers with dread, but also to an aristocratic past that has been all but drowned beneath democracy's shallow waters

"In this book, Stefan Battle weaves together autoethnographic narrative and ethnographic performance material from his own life and those of four other Black men, to show the untold impact of racial trauma on these everyday lives. By engaging readers with these experiences, stories and pain, the book aims to help to stop racial trauma and heal the race-based grief of the many Black men who need to speak out against racial injustice United States. Battle organizes the book as a performative account of a one-day workshop that he might teach to college students or other adults. He uses individual activities including an interview with a White woman regarding her relationship to race and racism, a staged reading in which five Black men share their stories, an audience discussion about race and racism, and Battle's performative talk, sharing the author's desire for people of all races, to self-reflect and then talk among themselves about race and racism. Battle's powerful book reveals that each Black man's unique story is important and that understanding something of a person's hidden context for processing the traumas of racism can lead to new understanding and healing. To this end, Battle examines issues such as Black men's mental health, and the wider societal systemic racism in the US that provokes tension and harm to the racial victimization of Black men. Suitable for students and scholars of qualitative research and autoethnography in the Social Sciences, Communication Studies, Education, Social Work, and Africana or Black Studies, this book will also be of interest to anyone seeking to better understand and engage with the Black male experience in the US"--
