“…In West Berlin, many community gardens arose out of the counter-cultural squatter movement that opposed urban renewal policies of the 1970s and 1980s (Rosol, 2018). Former squats have been turned into autonomous housing projects ( Hausprojekte ), whose political and public character continue to challenge the neoliberalisation and commodification of urban space (Jaureguiberry-Mondion, 2022). Encompassing a diversity of projects, they often include a Volxküche 1 (commonly abbreviated as VoKü ), that is a ‘people's kitchen’.…”

The benefits of community-based, grassroots food practices, such as community gardens or kitchens, are widely acknowledged. However, they have also been shown to support neoliberal and exclusionary dynamics. This paper examines this contradiction on the ground by unpacking the processes and mechanisms through which these initiatives reproduce, reinforce or challenge social inequities and injustices in the city. It suggests the concept of community food space to look at the articulation of practices and intentions within these groups, and highlight emancipatory practices situated around food rather than simply about food. The paper draws upon an ongoing militant ethnography into community food spaces in Berlin, Germany. Exploring the complex and diverse landscape of Berlin food activism, it illuminates the ways in which food may be used to perpetuate unjust social configurations or, on the contrary, to advance social justice at both local and structural levels.

“…Second, in terms of barriers to females joining and participating in specific types of action, previous studies have considered the dangers of certain types of action and women's responsibility for care work as barriers to participation (Craddock, 2019;Choi, 2022;Jaureguiberry-Mondion, 2022).…”

This paper investigates protest tourism as a gendered experience. Recently, scholars have shown increasing interest in protest tourism, but they have mainly focused on the participants' motivation, emotions, and identity. Understanding gender differences in protest tourism is important in the investigation of both protests and tourism. This study discusses Japanese female protest tourism, focusing on three aspects: constraints, feelings and gender roles. Previous studies on tourism and social movements provide a research framework for these three aspects. Based on writings described by female activists and on interviews with participants, the paper reports three key findings. First, female participants face constraints when taking part in protest tourism due to domestic responsibilities and resource limitations. Second, women's protest tourists have fears about the risks of harassment and violence and are uncomfortable being in a marginalized position. Third, they are forced into a feminine role in demonstration speeches and accommodations; however, if they ignore social norms, they can liberate themselves from that role. These findings demonstrate the discouragement factors associated with protest tourism, namely its danger, one-time nature and uniqueness, by focusing on the marginalized actor. The discussion of the concept of protest tourism therefore includes a wider range of behaviors.
