You and Your Profile : Identity After Authenticity
More and more, we present ourselves and encounter others through profiles.A profile shows us not as we are seen directly but how we are perceived by a broader public.As we observe how others observe us, we calibrate our self-presentation accordingly.Profile-based identity is evident everywhere from pop culture to politics, marketing to morality.But all too often critics simply denounce this alleged superficiality in defense of some supposedly pure ideal of authentic or sincere expression. This book argues that the profile marks an epochal shift in our concept of identity and demonstrates why that matters.You and Your Profile blends social theory, philosophy, and cultural critique to unfold an exploration of the way we have come to experience the world.Instead of polemicizing against the profile, Hans-Georg Moeller and Paul J.D’Ambrosio outline how it works, how we readily apply it in our daily lives, and how it shapes our values—personally, economically, and ethically.They develop a practical vocabulary of life in the digital age.Informed by the Daoist tradition, they suggest strategies for handling the pressure of social media by distancing oneself from one’s public face.A deft and wide-ranging consideration of our era’s identity crisis, this book provides vital clues on how to stay sane in a time of proliferating profiles.

The Bioeconomy : Institutions, Innovation and Sustainability
The bioeconomy is steadily becoming more important in regional, national and European public policies.As it encompasses the transformation of agricultural, marine and organic resources into food, feed, fuels, energy and materials, the bioeconomy should become a major new industry, outlining the possibility of a post-fossil future.This book is the first attempt to depict the origins, formation and challenges of this new industry in terms of emerging institutions, innovation and economic strategies.The result of this work is that the substitution of raw materials alone is not enough to get out of the fossil economy. This book develops a political economy of the ecological transition which theorizes the transition as a new crisis of capitalism.This phase is characterized by stakeholders’ attempts to develop renewed rationales and strategies to take control of the reorganization of flows of natural resources, their outcomes and their evaluation.The proposed framework considers recent results in four complementary research strands: transition studies, institutional economics, ecological economics and the evolutionary economics of innovation. The book will be of interest to researchers interested in the development of the bioeconomy, and both researchers and students seeking to understand the role of heterodox economics in the ecological transition.
