For Hannah Arendt, a space of appearance is formed "when people act and speak with one another" and, in doing so, constantly reassess the power relations that create and maintain this space. Beyond Arendt, however, these negotiation processes must also be extended to those with and between non-human beings. The books in this series examine the rules of access to spaces of appearance, their infrastructures and the experiences that are tested or jeopardised in them. At the interface between theatre and other cultural studies, performance studies, political, post- and decolonial theory, anthropology as well as queer and gender studies, these works ask who or what can appear, where and how and under what conditions. How do the scenic arts experiment with possible forms of appearance and make its spaces tangible?

Globalization is a major challenge for working people and their organizations. Globalization is intensifying competition among workers around the world, thereby undermining working conditions in many places. Adequate responses to this challenge require rigorous scholarly inquiry. The book series includes reports on the impact of globalization, particularly on vulnerable workers, their resistance, and policy options at various levels to address decent work deficits. It is a forum for outstanding dissertations as well as other outstanding monographs, postdoctoral theses, research reports, and edited volumes from the global multidisciplinary network of nine partner universities on four continents with union collaborations, the International Center for Development and Decent Work (ICDD).
