The Power of the Machine: Global Inequalities of Economy, Technology, and Environment
ISBN: 9780759100671 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Hornborg argues that we are caught in a collective illusion about the nature of modern technology that prevents us from imagining solutions to our economic and environmental crises other than technocratic fixes. He demonstrates how the power of the machine generates increasingly asymmetrical exchanges and distribution of resources and risks between distant populations and ecosystems, and thus an increasingly polarized world order. The author challenges us to reconceptualize the machine--"industrial technomass"--as a species of power and a problem of culture. He shows how economic anthropology...

Global Magic
ISBN: 9781137567864 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 201 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Modern thought on economics and technology is no less magical than the world views of non-modern peoples. This book reveals how our ideas about growth and progress ignore how money and machines throughout history have been used to exploit less affluent parts of world society. The argument critically explores a middle ground between Marxist political ecology and Actor-Network Theory.

ISBN: 9780415659284 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In modern society, we tend to have faith in technology. But is our concept of 'technology' itself a cultural illusion? This book challenges the idea that humanity as a whole is united in a common development toward increasingly efficient technologies. Instead it argues that modern technology implies a kind of global 'zero-sum game' involving uneven resource flows, which make it possible for wealthier parts of global society to save time and space at the expense of humans and environments in the poorer parts. We tend to think of the functioning of machines as if it was detached from... In modern society, we tend to have faith in technology. But is our concept of 'technology' itself a cultural illusion?

Mi'kmaq Landscapes: From Animism to Sacred Ecology
ISBN: 9780754663713 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 214 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book seeks to explore historical changes in the lifeworld of the Mi'kmaq Indians of Eastern Canada. The Mi'kmaq culture hero Kluskap serves as a key persona in discussing issues such as traditions, changing conceptions of land, and human-environmental relations. In order not to depict Mi'kmaq culture as timeless, two important periods in its history are examined. Within the first period, between 1850 and 1930, Hornborg explores historical evidence of the ontology, epistemology, and ethics - jointly labelled animism - that stem from a premodern Mi'kmaq hunting subsistence. New ways of...

International Trade & Environmental Justice: Toward a Global Political Ecology
ISBN: 9781608764266 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 254 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. This book shows how globalisation and international trade create environmental injustices between different parts of the world. Richer nations are able to shift their environmental loads onto poorer areas of the world-system, where labour and natural resources are cheaper and environmental legislation less of an obstacle. The chapters discuss recent approaches to ecological unequal exchange and environmental load displacement that use biophysical metrics rather than money to measure the uneven flows and the environmental impacts of international trade. The approaches discussed include social...

This book explores this relationship from different perspectives, illuminating the complexity of interactions between human societies and nature. Most of the contributors use the perspective of political ecology as a point of departure, recognizing that human relations to the environment and human social relations are not separate phenomena but inextricably intertwined.
