Wenn es um den Klimawandel geht, sind Kreisläufe zu einem entscheidenden Thema geworden. Geschlossene Kreisläufe, Wiederverwendung, Recycling und erneuerbare Materialien sind viel diskutierte Ideen in der Architektur und im Produktdesign. In diesem Buch weiten die Autor*innen das Konzept des Circular Design auf die territoriale Dimension aus, mit der Absicht, Lebensräumen durch den Einsatz von entwurfsgeleiteter Forschung und Entwurfsdenken zu mehr Resilienz und Nachhaltigkeit zu verhelfen. Anhand von Fallstudien aus ganz Europa, die neue Narrative im Städtebau mit sozialer Innovation und Kreativwirtschaft verbinden, zielt Circular Design darauf ab, dynamische Felder und Netzwerke von Ideen, Menschen und Räumen zu aktivieren. When it comes to climate change, circularity has become a major topic. Closed loops, reuse, recycling, and renewable materials are already fashionable ideas in architecture and product design. In order to establish the new paradigm of circular design, this book introduces a territorial dimension to the goal of transforming living spaces for resilience and sustainability—and to the use of design-led research and design-thinking as effective forces for analysis, developing concepts and strategies, and cooperative processes of transformation. Featuring case studies from all over Europe that merge creative narratives in urbanism with social innovation and creative industries, Circular Design aims to activate dynamic fields and networks of ideas, people, and space oriented to circular principles.

The book brings several essays on objects, atmospheres, moods, flavors and scents that marked the everyday life in the socialist Yugoslavia. The authors of individual chapters in Made in YU use these objects, atmospheres, moods, flavors and scents as lenses through which they observe practices and processes of significant restructurings and reframings of everyday, cultural, political and affective worlds in the post-Yugoslav societies. V knjigi so zbrane raznolike zgodbe iz jugoslovanske industrijske, vsakodnevne, mitske, popkulturne preteklosti in dediščine. A vendarle, te zgodbe, ki rastejo iz socialistične preteklosti, so zgodbe reči, ki imajo pomembno mesto tukaj in sedaj. Avtorji s pomočjo junakov in junakinj svojih esejev premišljujejo o dramatičnih in pomembnih spremembah, o preoblikovanjih vsakdanjih, kulturnih, političnih, ekonomskih in afektivnih svetovih na območju nekdanje Jugoslavije.Nagrada za najbolje oblikovano knjigo na 32. Slovenskem knjižnem sejmu (2016) v kategoriji znanstvene in stvarne literature (Tanja Radež).

The book ('Religiosity and consumption in the contemporary Japanese society‘) explores dilemmas regarding the effects of consumer culture on the secularization of religion. Author finds the key to understanding religion in a consumer society in the so-called popular religiosity, which she analyzes against the socio-economic and political contexts from early modern to contemporary Japanese society. Using various case studies she demonstrates how alongside official religiosity the Japanese pluralist religious field ‘allowed’ for popular religiosity with its worldly interests and practical benefits, which has had a positive catalytic role in the modernization processes. A contemporary counterpoint to such traditional popular religiosity is presented through empirical research conducted at Togenuki jizō − a popular religious site in Tokyo. The street vendors of food and clothing in front of the temple are seen to borrow religious symbols to successfully promote their products, whereas the buying of products embellished with religious symbols (i.e. during the so called ennichi festivities) may serve as a means of affirming social identities and establishing temporary communal contexts, within which religious practices take place at relatively regular intervals, thus strengthening the beliefs behind the religious symbols. Danes se pogosto poudarja kvarni vpliv modernizacije in potrošniške kulture na religijo in religioznost, a že sam obstoj tradicionalne religioznosti v (post)moderni japonski družbi kaže na skrivnost nekakšnega sožitja. Avtorica knjige ključ do razumevanja religije v potrošniški družbi poišče v t. i. ljudski religioznosti, ki jo analizira v družbenoekonomskih in političnih kontekstih od zgodnjemoderne do sodobne japonske družbe. Pokaže, kako je japonsko pluralno religijsko polje ob uradni religiji »dopuščalo« ljudsko religioznost v njenih tuzemskih interesih in praktičnih koristih, v »imanentističnem« pojmovanju božanstev in v eklektičnem, neafiliacijskem prakticiranju religije, s čimer je ta imela ugodno spodbujevalno vlogo v modernizacijskih procesih. Z empirično raziskavo potrošniškega prostora priljubljenega templja Togenuki jizō v središču Tokia pokaže, da nakupovanje oblačil in hrane z religioznimi simboli (na številne praznične dni templja) služi potrjevanju družbenih identitet in vzpostavljanju začasnih skupnostnih kontekstov, v katerih se dokaj regularno vršijo religiozne prakse in krepi verovanje, ki stoji za religioznimi simboli.

The book contributes new insights to the research in the field of anthropology of (post)socialism, culture of consumption, gender and memory. It is based on the testimony of interlocutors who offer an insight into the “structure of the feeling” of the socialist era through the practice of consumption, from which on the one hand the complex economic and political dynamics and diverse disciplinary regimes are being reflected and the understanding of power, resistance and emancipation on the other. Author establishes critical distance towards the approach, which discusses socialism as a totalitarianism and shows that socialist policies were not simply dictated from above, but negotiated between the state and its citizens. The female consumer in socialism did not only respond to social barriers and obstacles of history, but she also actively co-created social time. By studying how consumers interpreted and created mutual connections between material objects, moral reputation and (self)respect, the book also shows certain specific elements of Slovenian and Yugoslav development of the European countries after the Second World War. Knjiga prispeva nove uvide k raziskavam na področju antropologije (po)socializma, kulture potrošnje, spola in spomina. Temelji na pričevanju sogovornic in sogovornikov, ki ponudijo vpogled v “strukturo občutenja« socialističnega obdobja skozi prakso potrošnje, iz katere se zrcalijo kompleksne ekonomske in politične dinamike ter raznoliki disciplinski režimi na eni strani in razumevanje moči, upora in emancipacije na drugi. Avtorica vzpostavi kritično distanco do pristopa, ki obravnava socializem kot totalitarizem in pokaže, da socialistične politike niso bile preprosto diktirane od zgoraj, ampak izpogajane med državo in državljani/državljankami, pri čemer pa se ženska potrošnica v socializmu ni zgolj odzivala na družbene prepreke in ovire zgodovine, ampak je aktivno soustvarjala družbeni čas. S preučevanjem tega, kako so potrošniki in potrošnice interpretirali in ustvarjali medsebojne povezave med materialnimi predmeti, moralnim ugledom in (samo)spoštovanjem, knjiga pokaže tudi določene specifične prvine slovenskega in jugoslovanskega razvoja evropskih držav po 2. svetovni vojni.
