Christian Möller

This book offers a unique discursive perspective on the rapid rise of food charity and how food poverty has emerged as a symptom of deeper problems requiring psychological intervention. Christian Möller explores how new anti-poverty programmes and advice cultures are psychologising poverty by locating causes and solutions inside the mind rather than in the outside world, and considers the political stakes in citizens becoming subjects of charity. Drawing extensively on Foucault alongside feminist and critical theory, the book puts forward an overdue challenge to the pervasive effects of a psychology, which limits our thinking about poverty with promises of development, happiness and resilience, but leaves social inequalities intact. Möller argues for returning critical psychology to praxis to address social injustices and inequalities. Challenging common assumptions about food charity as a symptom of a retreating welfare state, he shows how power is exercised and knowledge is produced in these spaces of care and community. Also featuring direct applications of concepts to the real-world example of food banks, the book helps set out practical guidance for students and researchers designing empirical projects in critical psychology. Drawing on original research and interviews with managers and volunteers, this text is fascinating reading for students and academics interested in critical psychology, and the relationship between charity, poverty and social exclusion.

Wie frei ist das Internet? Christian Möller führt die parallel stattfindenden technischen und politischen Medienregulierungs- und Men¬schen¬rechtsentwicklungen zusammen, die zur Schaffung des Internet Governance Forums (IGF) führen, und gibt einen Überblick, wie es heute um die Internetfreiheit bestellt ist. Das umfassende Verständnis historischer Zusammenhänge seit dem Beginn des Internet sowie aktueller Entwicklungen im Bereich Internetfreiheit im Spannungsfeld zwischen technischen Entwicklungen, gesellschaftlichen und wirtschaftlichen Realitäten sowie gesetzgeberischem Regulierungshandeln ermöglicht einen Vorschlag, wie sich der Multistakeholder-Prozess des IGF mit zwischenstaatlichen Menschenrechtsregimen vereinbaren ließe.
