Lori Allen and Ajantha Subramanian continue their second series on Violent Majorities. Their previous episode featured Peter Beinart on Zionism as long-distance ethnonationalism; here they speak with Subir Sinha, who teaches at SOAS University of London, comments on Indian and European media, and is a member of a commission of inquiry exploring the 2022 unrest between Hindus and Muslims in Leicester, UK. The catalysts he identifies for the rise of Hindu nationalism (Hindutva) include the emergence of new middle classes after economic liberalization, the rise of Islamophobia after 9/11, the 2008 crisis in capitalism, and the spread of new communications technologies. The trio discuss the growth of Hindutva in the US and UK since the 1990s and its further consolidation. Social media has been key to Modi's brand of authoritarian populism, with simultaneous messaging across national borders producing a globally dispersed audience for Hindutva. Particularly useful to transnational political mobilizations has been the manufacture of wounded Hindu sentiments: a claim to victimhood that draws on the legitimizing language of religious minority rights in the US and UK. They also note more hopeful signs: Dalit and other oppressed caste politics have begun to strengthen in the diaspora; the contradictions between lived Hinduism and Hindutva have become clearer; there are some demographic and structural barriers to Hindutva's further growth in the UK and US. Subir's Recallable Book is Kunal Purohit's H-Pop:The Secretive World of Hindutva Pop Stars (Harper Collins India, 2023), which looks at the proliferation of Hindutva Pop, a genre of music that is made to go viral and whip up mob violence against religious minorities.

Episode 185: Food Crisis, the International Food Regime, and Endless Agrarian Modernization in the MENA Regio The agrarian and food crisis in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) have re-emerged vigorously to the attention of global development agencies and governments in coincidence with the Russia-Ukraine war. The food crisis has  been interpreted through a number of tropes, including Malthusian, environmentally determinist, security and development economics approaches. Within the dominant mainstream discourse, the MENA region is often depicted as a homogenous geographical area characterized by dryness, infertile lands and poor water resources. How did imperialism, colonialism and the Cold War influence the MENA food systems? What were the effects of agrarian modernizations, trade liberalization and neoliberalism on the agricultural systems in the region? These are some questions that this presentation tries to answer using a geographical and historical-comparative analysis, through a food regimes lens. Understanding contemporary social relations dynamics cannot be limited to the recent period. Agriculture and food in the MENA region are anchored in the history of power relations ruled by flows of capital and the shaping of ecological transformations during the longue durée of capitalism and its corresponding modes of control and regulation. Giuliano Martiniello is Associate Professor of Political Science and Political Economy at the Faculy of Law, Political and Social Sciences, Université Internationale de Rabat and Adjunct Associate Professor at the Faculty of Agricultural and Food Sciences, American University of Beirut.

He got his PhD in Politics at the School of Politics and International Studies of the University of Leeds (2011). He is broadly interested in the political economy, political sociology and political ecology of agrarian and environmental change. His research interests include land regimes, food and farming systems, large-scale land enclosures and contract farming, conservation and deforestation, rural social conflicts and agrarian movements in Africa and the Middle East. He has published articles in a number of top-ranking international journals such as World Development, Journal of Peasant Studies, Journal of Agrarian Change, Geoforum, Land Use Policy, Food Secuirty, Globalizations, Agrarian South: a Journal of Political Economy; Third World Quarterly, Review of African Political Economy, among others.

Krithika Srinivasan joins Claudia on the show to talk about re-animalization, a concept that challenges the dominant ways in which human wellbeing are framed. Re-Animalization compels one to think about how development is predicated on logics of protection and sacrifice, expanding notions of longevity, and a reduction of risk. Re-Animalization offers an opportunity to shift our gaze to the most privileged and to consider how risks might be more evenly distributed.  Date Recorded: 23 November 2023.  Krithika Srinivasan is a Senior Lecturer in Human Geography at the University of Edinburgh. Her research and teaching interests lie at the intersection of political ecology, post-development politics, animal studies, and nature geographies. Her work draws on research in South Asia to rethink globally established concepts and practices about nature-society relations and reconfigure approaches to multispecies justice. Krithika is the principal investor of the project Remaking One Health Indies. She has published widely, including in journals such as the Sociological Review, Geoforum, and Environment and Planning.

In this episode of Feminist Food Stories, Isabela sits down with Alison Hope Alkon, Associate Professor of Teaching in the Community Studies Program in the Department of Sociology at UCSC and co-editor of A Recipe for Gentrification: Food, Power, and Resistance in the City. Published in July 2020 by NYU Press and focused on large to mid-sized cities in Canada and the US, the edited volume explores the complex links between food, urban development, gentrification, and the right to the city.Isabela and Alison reflect on the book's findings to discuss why we should include food in conversations about gentrification, and vice-versa; how to understand gentrification as an outcome of cultural or structural drivers; how well-intended activities like urban agriculture and food activism can inadvertently displace vulnerable communities, and how gentrification links to gender and racial justice.CreditsThis episode features research, writing, and sound editing by Isabela Vera and original music by the Electric Muffin Research Kitchen.Big thanks to all contributors to A Recipe for Gentrification, whose insights and analysis were instrumental in shaping this interview.TranscriptA full transcript of the episode is available online here.Further readingBooksCultivating Food Justice: Race, Class, and Sustainability.

What do social movements have to say about climate change? What is their role in local and global governance of climate change? How do climate activists coordinate alternative futures in a postapocalyptic present? Some people say individual changes are needed, while others think it should come from systemic change. How does the climate movement reconcile both?  Answers by Joost de Moor, a researcher at Sciences Po's Centre for European Studies and Comparative Politics, who has been working on these issues for years.

In dieser Folge beschäftigen sich Shilan und Vicky erneut mit Fragen rund um die sozial-ökologische Transformation. Gemeinsam mit Dr.in Melanie Pichler, Politikwissenschaftlerin am Institut für Soziale Ökologie der Universität für Bodenkultur, sprechen wir über sozial-ökologische Konflikte und globale Gerechtigkeitsfragen. Wir gehen unter anderem folgenden Fragen nach: Welche Strukturen begünstigen sozial-ökologische Konflikte auf nationaler und globaler Ebene? Welche Rolle spielt transnationale und nationale Ungerechtigkeit? Was braucht es, um die sozial-ökologische Transformation voranzubringen? und wie unterscheiden sich die notwendigen Maßnahmen in Europa von denen in Asien?

Money does strange things to people, as Annah Lake Zhu notes in her latest book Rosewood: Endangered Species Conservation and the Rise of Global China (Harvard University Press: 2022) In Madagascar, loggers, flush with cash from the rosewood trade, don't quite know how to react to their newfound largesse, sometimes demanding less money for their wares out of confusion. Rumors abound of how loggers make their money. There's no way that simple wood could garner so much profit, people say, so observers think they must be trading something else–like human bones. Annah's book studies globalization, the rise of China, and global environmental politics through trade in one commodity: Madagascar rosewood, used in furniture. In this interview, Annah and I talk about this important material–the commodity, the cultural product, and the conservation target–in China and Madagascar. Annah Lake Zhu is Assistant Professor of Environmental Policy at Wageningen University in the Netherlands, a veteran of the United Nations Environment Programme in Geneva, and a former Peace Corps volunteer in Madagascar. Her work has been published in Science, Geoforum, and Political Geography. You can find more reviews, excerpts, interviews, and essays at The Asian Review of Books, including its review of Rosewood.

Matt talks with Danielle Nagle, State University of New York professor, about her article "Conservation dressed in camouflage: Neoliberal environmentality and the hunting industry" which was published in the May 2022 issue of the journal Geoforum.

The anti-feminist movement in South Korea is gaining global attention. The story has been covered by many western mainstream news outlets including the New York Times, CNN, and BBC. Is this trend a new trend in South Korea? Where does this anti-feminist idea come from? In this episode, we invite Prof. Ju Hui Judy Han and discuss South Korean feminist history and gender politics. We discuss pre- and post-democratization feminist movements, the new president's worrisome position on gender issues, and predict the future feminist movements in South Korea. We end our conversation with the conclusion that although there have been many obstacles, we cannot overlook the progress at the grassroots level. If you are interested in learning about South Korean feminist history, join Myunghee Lee for this interview with Judy Han. This is the second episode in the series. The first episode can be found here. About the interviewer Myunghee Lee is a Postdoctoral Fellow at NIAS.

The anti-feminist movement in South Korea is gaining global attention. The story has been covered by many western mainstream news outlets including the New York Times, CNN, and BBC. Is this trend a new trend in South Korea? Where does this anti-feminist idea come from? In this episode, we invite Prof. Ju Hui Judy Han and discuss South Korean feminist history and gender politics. We discuss pre- and post-democratization feminist movements, the new president's worrisome position on gender issues, and predict the future feminist movements in South Korea. We end our conversation with the conclusion that although there have been many obstacles, we cannot overlook the progress at the grassroots level.

An article in Scientific American bringing a science and technology studies lens to Genetically Modified Organisms, provoked louder than normal responses from the pro biotech crowd. What can we learn from the exchange? Dr Andrew Flachs, Associate Professor of Anthropology at Purdue University, studied the role of seeds on farmer livelihoods in rural India as part of his book, Cultivating Knowledge.

In the latest episode of America Adapts, Doug Parsons hosts Dr. Michael Mendez, Assistant Professor of Environmental Planning and Policy at the University of California, Irvine. Michael shares his research on how undocumented immigrants are particularly vulnerable to wildfires and climate change; why FEMA doesn't provide disaster aid to these workers; what is a “worthy disaster victim” and how adaptation planners can incorporate climate equity into their plans. These topics and much more! Topics covered: Why are undocumented immigrants particularly vulnerable to wildfires and pandemics. FEMA won't cover undocumented workers. That needs to change! Could climate change be a catalyst for real immigration reform? Who is a “worthy disaster victim.” What is “contextual vulnerability”? Recommendations on how to consider climate justice issues in your adaptation plan (or your updates) How understanding the differential impacts on undocumented immigrants can help improve disaster planning to protect the most vulnerable and stigmatized populations.

In this episode we discuss critical surf studies as a field of academic research, speak to the merit of surf-related experiential learning programs, and share highlights from our research into decolonizing sustainable surf tourism. We offer background into the critical ethnographic focus of our study abroad program, Surfing & Sustainability: Political Ecology in Costa Rica, explain our critique of the sustainable surf tourism-for-sustainable development paradigm, explore links between regenerative agriculture networks and surf tourism communities, and describe the political ecology of real estate as a conceptual frame for analyzing surfscape occupation. We end with a few ideas on how surfers can engage with critical surf studies concepts to support greater socio-ecological well being in the places we travel to surf.***Resources:We've been helped in this work by recent revisions of the historiography of surfing – Scott Laderman's Empire in Waves, Isaiah Walker's Waves of Resistance, Krista Comer's Surfer Girls in the New World Order, Kevin Dawson's Undercurrents of Power, Dexter Zavalza Hough-Snee and Alexander Sotelo Eastman's The Critical Surf Studies Reader (including Dina Gilio-Whitaker's chapter on Appropriating Surfing and the Politics of Indigenous Authenticity), and Allison Rose Jefferson's Living the California Dream: African American Leisure Sites during the Jim Crow Era.Additional Resources:Surfing and Sustainability: Political Ecology in Costa Rica • Summer | Anthropology (uga.edu)Lost But Not Forgotten, virtual reality project on surfing history and coastal development in Long Beach, California - Lost But Not Forgotten VR TRAILER - YouTube.

In this episode we discuss different types of surf localism in the context of surfscape colonialism in the Global North and Global South, based on our recent work related to critical localisms of resistance in occupied surfscapes. We explore localisms of entitlement and resistance, as well as girl localisms in a range of well-known surfscapes to highlight the ways surfers are using localism as a means of both perpetuating and contesting the colonial, patriarchal and racialized neoliberal state of modern surfing and its surf tourism industrial complex. ***Resources:We've been helped in this work by recent revisions of the historiography of surfing – Scott Laderman's Empire in Waves, Isaiah Walker's Waves of Resistance, Krista Comer's Surfer Girls in the New World Order, Kevin Dawson's Undercurrents of Power, Dexter Zavalza Hough-Snee and Alexander Sotelo Eastman's The Critical Surf Studies Reader (including Dina Gilio-Whitaker's chapter on Appropriating Surfing and the Politics of Indigenous Authenticity), and Allison Rose Jefferson's Living the California Dream: African American Leisure Sites during the Jim Crow Era.***Additional Resources: Black Girls Surf: https://blackgirlssurf.orgBrown Girl Surf: https://www.browngirlsurf.comThe Wahine Project: https://www.thewahineproject.orgNative Like Water: https://www.nativelikewater.orgLatinX Surf Club: https://www.facebook.com/latinxsurfclubColor the Water: https://www.colorthewater.orgSurfrider Los Angeles: https://la.surfrider.org***Bios: Tara Ruttenberg is Ph.D. Candidate in Development Studies at the Wageningen School of Social Sciences, specializing in critical surf studies and alternatives to development in sustainable surf tourism.

Claudia talks to Yamini Narayanan about the concept of informality and how it can be used to unpack, complicate and understand urban-animal relations. With a focus on urban-cow entanglements, they discuss how informality is related to urban infrastructure and mobilities that help to bur some of the often dichotomous ways we've come to understand not only intra-human relations, but inter-species relations too. Date recorded: 28 April 2021Yamini Narayanan is Senior Lecturer in International and Community Development at Deakin University, Melbourne. Her work explores the ways in which (other) animals are instrumentalised in sectarian, casteist and even fascist ideologies in India, and how animals are also actors and architects of informal urbanisms. Yamini's research is supported by two Australian Research Council grants. Yamini's work on animals, race, and development has been published in leading journals including Environment and Planning A and D, Geoforum, Hypatia, South Asia, Society and Animals, and Sustainable Development. With Kathryn Gillespie, she has co-edited a special edition of the Journal of Intercultural Studies on the theme “Animal nationalisms: Multispecies cultural politics, race, and nation un/building narratives” (2020) . In 2019, Yamini was awarded the Vice Chancellor's Award for Mid-Career Research Excellence. In recognition of her work, she was made Fellow of the Oxford Centre for Animal Ethics (FOCAE), a distinguished honour that is conferred through nomination or invitation only. Connect with Yamini on Deakin University's website or on Twitter (@YaminiNarayanan).   Claudia (Towne) Hirtenfelder is the founder and host of The Animal Turn. She is a PhD Candidate in Geography and Planning at Queen's University and is currently undertaking her own research project looking at the geographical and historical relationships between animals (specifically cows) and cities.

My cognitive skills were activating at the fact that culture is seemingly the new economy. This ethos has galvanized my thinking especially since the word "culture" comes from Latin cultura, which means "cultivation", as in agricultura, "field cultivation". Succinctly put although Culture is a word for the 'way of life' of groups of people, meaning the way they do things therefore in all plausibility Can this way of doing things  invariably connote or be interpreted culture is seemingly the new economy.WORKS CITED   Newsweek / The Daily Beast.  "Department Stores Bring Down Retail Results".

In this episode, I am joined by two Hungarian scholars, Gábor Scheiring from Bocconi University and Kristóf Szombati from the Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology. Gábor and Kristóf have worked extensively together in opposition politics but also in academia, co-authoring multiple papers on the political economy of Hungary. We discuss together the ideology and class-coalitions sustaining Hungary's current authoritarian regime. We talk about racism, labor exploitation, democratic suppression - but also social policy initiatives such as the Public Works Program, which solved unemployment by making the state an employer of last resort… with far-reaching political consequences.

In this episode we discuss coffee consumption and the culture around it. From the Five Waves of Coffee to production, and to the changes in café culture. And finally, how coffee marketing is ridiculously effective (on some of us).While we don't always refer to literature within the podcast, a lot of our conversations feed from research conducted within the fields of consumer culture/consumption studies; as well as sociology, anthropology, and other disciplines. Plus, we don't manage to cover everything we'd have liked to cover. For those interested in further reading or research on the topics we discuss, we would like to provide a (non-exhaustive) list of literature for further reading.Enjoy!Anuja and AlevCoffee Cultures: Historical Perspectives:Kjeldgaard, D., & Ostberg, J.

In this article, I discuss allegations that a case of bioterrorism lay behind the introduction of a fungus that kills cacao trees, which appeared in Brazil's northeast. I strongly dislike conspiracy theories. At the same time, sometimes there are real conspiracies. In this case, we don't have enough evidence to judge whether the allegations are true, even though one person confessed. So was this a horrible political crime? A conspiracy narrative concocted for political reasons? One thing is certain- the fungus was introduced into northeastern Brazil. One correction: in the podcast I said that the fungus was introduced into the heart of plantations, but I know realize that I probably misunderstood, and that the outbreak first appeared along a river and a road. As always, my thanks go to Paige Smallman for editing!

OUR CAMELS - FERAL OR THOROUGHLY AUSTRALIAN? A recent paper written by Leah Gibbs, Jennifer Atchison & Ingereth Macfarlane & published in Geoforum raises many questions about the place of camels in Australia. When do we accept that a species belongs here? What does the story of the camel have to tell us about our cultural development when it comes to ethnicity? While some view camels as ferals to eradicate others are building up their camel herds to eat unwanted weeds.Tune in  as we chat with Leah Gibbs.
