Strange Likeness

Description and the Modernist Novel

By: Dora Zhang

The modern novel, so the story goes, thinks poorly of mere description—what Virginia Woolf called “that ugly, that clumsy, that incongruous tool.” As a result, critics have largely neglected description as a feature of novelistic innovation during the twentieth century. Dora Zhang argues that descriptive practices were in fact a crucial site of attention and experimentation for a number of early modernist writers, centrally Woolf, Henry James, and Marcel Proust. Description is the novelistic technique charged with establishing a common world, but in the early twentieth century, there was little agreement about how a common world could be known and represented. Zhang argues that the protagonists in her study responded by shifting description away from visualizing objects to revealing relations—social, formal, and experiential—between disparate phenomena. In addition to shedding new light on some of the best-known works of modernism, Zhang opens up new ways of thinking about description more broadly. She moves us beyond the classic binary of narrate-or-describe and reinvigorates our thinking about the novel. Strange Likeness will enliven conversations around narrative theory, affect theory, philosophy and literature, and reading practices in the academy.

Food in a Planetary Emergency

By: Dora Marinova,Diana Bogueva

This book Food in a Planetary Emergency is a timely overview of the current food systems and the required transformations to respond to the challenges of climate change, population pressures, biodiversity loss and use of natural resources, such as soils, water and phosphorus. This book takes a planetary health perspective which explores the links between natural systems and human wellbeing implying that there is need for united actions to achieve important environmental and population health co-benefits. This book outlines that the foundation of planetary health is sustainability. It addresses environment and climate change emergency as a global agenda, however, emphasises the urgency of the sustainability perspective which integrates a wide spectrum of issues that require integrated solutions to offer better prospects for humanity. This book drives this argument further through the global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) where food is not just SDG2 but transcends all 17 goals. This book tackles the problems of food production and consumption at a global, industry and individual level linking it to topics related to the natural environment, climate change, waste, marketing, new ways of producing food and providing alternative proteins, mitigating non-communicable diseases, flexitarianism and the role of Generation Z in the emerging dietary choices. This book benefits readers with understanding the importance and intricacy of their dietary choices at a point in time when our planet is facing an emergency triggered by long-term dependence on fossil fuels and artificial fertilisers but also by the ways we have provided food. However, this book also delivers the message that safeguarding and sustaining planetary health is possible.

From Linear to Circular Food Supply Chains

Achieving Sustainable Change

By: Stella Despoudi,Uthayasankar Sivarajah,Manoj Dora

This book aims to provide the reader with an understanding of the concept of the circular economy, in relation to food supply chains. The current food supply chain system, based upon the linear supply chain model, is unquestionably unsustainable: make, use, dispose. The circular supply chain model, on the other hand, aims to keep resources in use for as long as possible, while regenerating products/materials at the end of their service life. In short: reduce, reuse, recycle. This book puts forwards the circular economy as an alternative to the traditional supply chain management models. The circular economy aims to minimise material, energy and environmental damage without restricting economic growth and social and technological progress. It involves transition to renewable energy sources, and it builds on economic, natural and social capital. This shortform monograph will appeal to academics working in the fields of supply chain logistics, operation management, agricultural management, and sustainability more broadly. Dr. Stella Despoudi is Lecturer in Operations and Supply Chain Management at Aston University, UK and Adjunct Lecturer in Supply Chain Management at University of Western Macedonia, Greece. Prof. Uthayasankar Sivarajah is Head of School of Management and Professor of Technology Management and Circular Economy at the School of Management, University of Bradford, UK. Dr Manoj Dora is Director of Collaborative Projects and Outreach at Brunel Business School, UK. Manoj's areas of specialisation are Sustainable Value Chain and Quality Management, with a focus on Lean Six Sigma in the agro-food sector.

Democracia e Impactos Sociais

By: Alvaro Algusto Comin,Cristina Godoy Bernardo de Oliveira,Dora Kaufman,Sarajane Marques Peres,Marcelo Fantinato,João Paulo Veiga,Eugenio Bucci,Rubens Beçak,Juliano Maranhão,Glauco Arbix

O livro "Inteligência Artificial: Democracia e Impactos Sociais" traz uma preocupação central: agendas de pesquisas que estão voltadas para impactos humanos e sociais da inteligência artificial. O grupo de Humanidades do C4AI, responsável pela organização do livro, tem desempenhado um papel fundamental ao pautar assuntos relevantes como o impacto da inteligência artificial para o futuro do trabalho, o aumento da desigualdade social, os riscos que envolvem segurança e privacidade, a questão da regulação, os dilemas éticos envolvidos, os problemas ligados à informação, aos sistemas político-partidários e para a própria democracia, e questões relativas à qualidade da interação entre agentes inteligentes e humanos. O seminário foi motivado pela necessidade de criar um fórum brasileiro multidisciplinar de reflexão sobre como a inteligência artificial pode contribuir para solapar ou fortalecer as instituições democráticas e os princípios norteadores da vida em sociedade. O seminário aconteceu entre 13 e 14 de dezembro de 2021, de maneira on-line, e foi precedido por um conjunto de oito webinars, com 21 convidados que apresentaram resultados de pesquisa nas áreas de legislação e regulação, inovação, desinformação, robótica social, implicações sociais da inteligência artificial, segurança pública, educação, viés algorítmico e (des)igualdade. A visibilidade do seminário alcançou 63 países e teve mais de 5.445 visualizações no conteúdo publicado em seu website.
