Ideology Over Economics
P3s in an Age of Austerity

Political Participation in the Digital Age
An Ethnographic Comparison Between Iceland and Germany
Julia Tiemann-Kollipost
This book explores the potential of the internet for enabling new and flexible political participation modes. It meticulously illustrates how the internet is responsible for citizens’ participation practices changing from general, linear, high-threshold, temporally constricted, and dependent on physical presence to topic-centered, anachronistic, low-threshold and temporally as well as locally discontinuous.

Emerging Affinities
Possible Futures of Performative Arts
Edited by Mateusz Borowski, Mateusz Chaberski, and Małgorzata Sugiera
This volume is a response to the growing need for new methodological approaches to the rapidly changing landscape of new forms of performative practices. The authors address a host of contemporary phenomena situated at the crossroads between science and fiction which employ various media and merge live participation with mediated hybrid experiences at both affective and cognitive level.
From the Gender Studies series
Right-Wing Populism and Gender
European Perspectives and Beyond
Edited by Gabriele Dietze and Julia Roth
This volume seeks to strengthen the analysis of the intersection of gender and race as constitutional for radical right discourse. The contributions investigate from different European perspectives the ways in which gender is used as an arena and as an epistemological platform for the ordering and hierarchization of political objectives.
