Sommario/riassunto

Food is increasingly traded internationally, thereby transforming the



organization of food production and consumption globally and influencing most food-related practices. This transition is generating unfamiliar challenges related to sustainability of food provision, the social impacts of international trade and global food governance. Distance in time and space between food producers and consumers is increasing and new concerns are arising. These include the environmental impact of food production and trade, animal welfare, the health and safety of food and the social and economic impact of international food trade. This book provides an overview of the principal conceptual frameworks that have been developed for understanding these changes. It shows how conventional regulation of food provision through sovereign national governments is becoming elusive, as the distinctions between domestic and international, and between public and private spheres, disappear. At the same time multi-national companies and supranational institutions put serious limits to governmental interventions. In this context, other social actors including food retailers and NGOs are shown to take up innovative roles in governing food provision, but their contribution to agro-food sustainability is under continuous scrutiny. The authors apply these themes in several detailed case studies, including organic, fair trade, local food and fish. On the basis of these cases, future developments are explored, with a focus on the respective roles of agricultural producers, retailers and consumers.

Sommario/riassunto

Wes Cravens »A Nightmare on Elm Street« (1984) genießt heute mehr denn je Kultstatus. Allein der Gedanke an seine Hauptfigur Freddy Krueger jagt noch immer vielen Zuschauern einen Schauer über den Rücken - und zaubert eingeweihten Slasher-Fans ein Grinsen ins Gesicht. Katharina Rein unterzieht diesen unbestrittenen Genre-Klassiker einer intensiven Lektüre, in der sie den zentralen Momenten der Störung nachspürt. Anhand ausgewählter Sequenzen des Films deckt sie die Funktionsweisen von Störungen im Horrorgenre auf. Entgegen verbreiteter Auffassungen begreift sie diese im Anschluss an Michel Serres nicht als hinderlich, sondern als produktiv. Wie Rein zeigt, ist es diese Produktivität, die maßgeblich zum andauernden Erfolg und zur filmgeschichtlichen Bedeutung von »A Nightmare on Elm Street« beigetragen hat.
