Slumming It

The Tourist Valorization of Urban Poverty

By: Fabian Frenzel

Have slums become 'cool'? More and more tourists from across the globe seem to think so as they discover favelas, ghettos, townships and barrios on leisurely visits. But while slum tourism often evokes moral outrage, critics rarely ask about what motivates this tourism, or what wider consequences and effects it initiates. In this provocative book, Fabian Frenzel investigates the lure that slums exert on their better-off visitors, looking at the many ways in which this curious form of attraction ignites changes both in the slums themselves and on the world stage. Covering slums in Rio de Janeiro, Bangkok and multiple cities in South Africa, Kenya and India, Slumming It examines the roots and consequences of a growing phenomenon whose effects have ranged from gentrification and urban policy reform to the organization of international development and poverty alleviation. Controversially, Frenzel argues that the rise of slum tourism has drawn attention to important global justice issues, and is far more complex than we initially acknowledged.

Protest Camps

By: Anna Feigenbaum,Fabian Frenzel,Patrick McCurdy

From Tahrir Square to Occupy, from the Red Shirts in Thailand to the Teachers in Oaxaca, protest camps are a highly visible feature of social movements' activism across the world. They are spaces where people come together to imagine alternative worlds and articulate contentious politics, often in confrontation with the state. Drawing on over fifty different protest camps from around the world over the past fifty years, this book offers a ground-breaking and detailed investigation into protest camps from a global perspective - a story that, until now, has remained untold. Taking the reader on a journey across different cultural, political and geographical landscapes of protest, and drawing on a wealth of original interview material, the authors demonstrate that protest camps are unique spaces in which activists can enact radical and often experiential forms of democratic politics.

In the Face of Death

By: Fabian F. Grassl

“My theological work was always only a superstructure placed upon the experiences and sufferings of my life . . .” —Helmut Thielicke Thielicke’s story is one of extraordinary circumstances. Especially as a young man, living through Germany’s darkest hour, he was time and again put on the brink of death by fatal sickness, Nazi oppression, and war. These experiences left an indelible mark on his worldview. In this thoroughly researched study, Fabian F. Grassl takes a fresh and original look at Thielicke’s turbulent life through the specific lens of suffering and death. He paints an intimate portrait of a boundary rider whose theology uniquely developed in the face of death. As a result, new light is cast on one of the outstanding theologians, ethicists, and preachers of the twentieth century. The reader is invited to explore a world of thought decidedly shaped by the “eschatological existence” of an intriguing personality; a flawed human being like the rest of us yet endowed with a fascinating theological prowess, taking his stand amongst Germany’s major historical upheavals of the last centenary.

Mathematical Modeling of NF-κB and p53 Signaling in the DNA Damage Response

Mathematical Modeling of NF-κB and p53 Signaling in the DNA Damage Response

By: Fabian Konrath

Cells are permanently challenged by DNA damage which can be induced by environmental factors such as UV irradiation or intracellular factors like reactive oxygen species. As damaged DNA can lead to malignant transformations, a complex signaling network termed DNA damage response is activated upon detection of DNA lesions and allows to maintain genomic integrity. The two transcription factors NF-κB and p53 regulate cell fate decisions upon genotoxic stress and therefore play crucial roles in the DNA damage response. To investigate the regulation of NF-κB activity, a mathematical model of coupled ordinary differential equations was developed and analyzed. The model describes DNA damage-induced activation of NF-$&appa;B and quantitatively reproduces multiple experimental data sets. Analyzing the time-resolved regulation of NF-κB revealed regulatory mechanisms of DNA damage-dependent NF-κB signaling and allowed the evaluation of drug targets inhibiting NF-κB activity. Further, the interplay of NF-κB and p53 signaling was investigated by developing a mathematical modeling framework to systematically identify interfaces between the NF-κB and p53 network. NF-κB signaling was perturbed and the resulting changes in single cell dynamics of p53 upon genotoxic stress were captured. By fitting a pool of subpopulation-specific ordinary differential equation models to the single cell data, one of the first quantitative p53 models reproducing the heterogeneous dynamics of p53 was developed. Based on the observed changes in p53 dynamics, the results of the modeling framework indicate that NF-κB signaling interferes with the activation and degradation of p53 as well as the degradation of its inhibitor Mdm2. Taken together, the results in this work give new insights into the regulation of genotoxic NF-κB and p53 signaling and highlight the complexity of their crosstalk.

Protest Camps in International Context

Spaces, Infrastructures and Media of Resistance

By: Gavin Brown (Lecturer in Human Geography),Anna Feigenbaum,Fabian Frenzel,Patrick McCurdy

Through a series of interdisciplinary case studies, this topical collection is the first to focus on protest camps as unique organisational forms that transcend particular social movements' contexts. The book offers a critical understanding of current protest events and will help better understanding of new global forms of democracy in action.
