The Sensorium of the Drone and Communities
A comprehensive overview of how civilian drones sense the world and how they build the aesthetic imaginaries of our communities. Drone technology has garnered critical attention across many fields, from engineering to the humanities. While the first wave of drone scholarship was key in initiating the debate on drones, it also privileged the idea of the “scopic regime”—a militarized regime of hypervisuality—in its analyses of the connection between vision and power. The Sensorium of the Drone and Communities broadens the drone’s spectrum of perception by acknowledging its creative, life-affirming possibility with the notion of the sensorium. The sensorium of the drone is a multimedi...
The Palgrave Handbook of Feminist, Queer and Trans* Narrative Studies
The Palgrave Handbook of Feminist, Queer and Trans* Narrative Studies provides a comprehensive overview of the intersection between narrative theory and feminist, queer and trans* theory. Bringing together eminent and emerging scholars from a range of disciplines, it foregrounds connections between new views on gender and recent developments in narratology. The first section outlines key concepts for the study of narrative and gender and features theory-oriented chapters on what it means for the study of narrative to go beyond gender binaries. The middle sections cover some of the currently most influential fields of narratology and literary theory: cognitive and eco-narratology, postcolonia...
In Defense of Solidarity and Pleasure
Including women in the global South as users, producers, consumers, designers, and developers of technology has become a mantra against inequality, prompting movements to train individuals in information and communication technologies and foster the participation and retention of women in science and technology fields. In this book, Firuzeh Shokooh Valle argues that these efforts have given rise to an idealized, female economic figure that combines technological dexterity and keen entrepreneurial instinct with gendered stereotypes of care and selflessness. Narratives about the "equalizing" potential of digital technologies spotlight these women's capacity to overcome inequality using said te...
Inventive/Interventive Demokratie?
Wie können gesellschaftliche Veränderungen und Streitfragen sinnlich erfahrbar und öffentlich verständlich kommuniziert werden? Nora Rigamonti nimmt experimentelle Zukunftsszenarien der umstrittenen europäischen »Flüchtlingsfrage« in den Blick, die mithilfe einer expliziten Gestaltung und Verbindung von politischen und ästhetischen Praktiken konstituiert werden. Am Beispiel der Szenarien analysiert sie, ob und inwiefern diese nicht nur als in(ter)ventive Instrumente zur alternativen Lösungsfindung auf gegenwärtige gesellschaftliche Kontroversen reagieren, sondern ob sie auch der zunehmenden Fragilität liberal-demokratischer Ordnungen begegnen können.
Manual for performance evaluation of regulatory authorities seeking designation as WHO-listed authorities
This manual provides operational and technical details for the performance evaluation (PE) exercise that must be conducted for a regulatory authority (RA) to achieve listing as a WHO-listed authority (WLA) in relation to each regulatory function. The PE manual should be read in conjunction with the Operational guidance for evaluating and publicly designating regulatory authorities as WHO-listed authorities (“The Operational Guidance”). For the purposes of this document the term regulatory authority (RA), unless otherwise stated, may refer to either a national regulatory authority (NRA) or a regional regulatory system (RRS). The basis for designation as a WLA is provided by the Global Benchmarking Tool (GBT), which is complemented by a series of PE activities designed to establish a detailed picture of how the regulatory system performs on relevant regulatory processes, including how consistently it adheres to quality procedures and how well it delivers the desired regulatory outputs in accordance with good regulatory practices.
