When exactly did life become a life class? Is happiness overrated?

In a society that always strives to be more organic, less carbon-polluting, more virtuous than any other, 'The Rise and Fall of the Domestic Diva' is a breath of fresh air (imported from the mountains of Nepal and filtered organically for purity, of course. A snip at only £6.99.).

Do you know what your neighbours get up to behind closed doors? And more to the point, do you want to know? ‘The Rise and Fall of the Queen of Suburbia is a darkly comic portrayal of marriage, relationships, neighbours and suburbia. Welcome to Littlehaven, where serving pineapple with cottage cheese at a dinner party is the very height of glamorous sophistication; where sulky teenagers join CND and obsess as much about the threat of nuclear war as they do about their latest acne outbreak; and where missing a Green Goddess-led aerobics session is the true definition of disaster. ‘The Rise and Fall of the Queen of Suburbia’ follows the intertwined stories of the inhabitants of Pollards Close in love and out of love, in marriage and in flagrante, in health and in sickness, in work and out of work, in triumph and in tragedy. ‘The Rise and Fall of the Queen of Suburbia’ is a black-hearted soap opera, a smart, sharp study of obsession, paranoia and class, set against an all-too-recognisable backdrop of the decade that taste forgot.

The idea of origin in terms of space and culture as a special indicator of quality is one of the most influential strands in contemporary food. It impacts on politics, economics and everyday life – and it connects these fields with complex relations of power and culture. With geographical indications, the EU offers an instrument which allows for the declaration of specialties, qualified by their tradition, as typical for a defined area. The declaration serves to protect these products as intellectual and collective property and presents them as culinary heritage, thereby enabling sale at an added value. Accordingly, the EU instrument of geographical indications evokes the interests of a variety of disciplines, such as (agricultural) economics, (social) geography, sociology, anthropology and law. Nonetheless, dialogue and cooperation among the disciplines are quite rare. “Taste | Power | Tradition” gives an insight into this multidisciplinary debate and brings together empirical data and theoretical reflections from different perspectives.

'Alltag und Stadt sind nicht einfach da. Es sind die Menschen, die in ihrem Alltag ihre Stadt machen.' Was ist das Besondere an Freiburg? Ist es das Flair seiner Innenstadt, die Vielzahl an Fahrrädern, die Nähe zur Schweiz oder doch das Nachtleben? Dieser Band mit seinen 16 ethnografischen Studien und Fotostrecken rückt die Handlungen und Wahrnehmungsweisen derjenigen, die in Freiburg wohnen, arbeiten und interagieren, in den Mittelpunkt. Er macht dadurch Verstrickungen von Routinen des städtischen Alltags sichtbar, die auf den ersten Blick nicht verbunden Straßenbahnfahren,Geigenbauen und Nachbarschaftsstreit zum Beispiel. So zeigt sich, dass es gerade die verschiedenen und vermeintlich widersprüchlichen Merkmale des städtischen Alltags sind, die Freiburg ausmachen. Alltag und Stadt bedingen sich. Alltag findet statt - oder Alltag findet Stadt.
