    Abstract: Hauptbeschreibung Der Systemwechsel 1989 markiert eine Zäsur: Der Zerfall der kommunistischen Staatenwelt löst eine historisch beispiellose ökonomische, kulturelle und politische Transformation aus, die auch das Selbstverständnis der »westeuropäischen« Staaten verändert.Dies zeigt sich besonders in Zentraleuropa: Der Blick auf diese Region ermöglicht die Überwindung der weiterhin wirksamen Ost-West-Dichotomien und die Frage nach den gesamteuropäischen Konsequenzen von Veränderungsprozessen.Diese Prozesse werden aus geistes-, kultur- und sozialwissenschaftlicher Perspektive analysiert.

Wie kann man Feminismus interkulturell ausbuchstabieren, ohne dabei voreilig die (aus westlicher Sicht) „andere" Frau auf eine passive Opferrolle festzulegen? Wie relevant ist Marx Kapitalismuskritik für die Arbeiterinnen auf der Südhälfte des Globus? Dies sind die Kernfragen der indischstämmigen Kulturwissenschaftlerin Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak.

    Abstract: Fashion is bound up with promoting the 'new', concerned with constantly changing aesthetics. The favoured styles or looks of a season arise out of the work of a vast range of different actors who collectively produce, select, distribute and promote the new ideals, before moving on to next season. How, then, are fashionable commodities stabilized long enough for them to be selected, distributed and sold? Since there are few studies that actually examine the work that goes on inside the world of fashion, we know little about these processes. This book addresses this gap in our knowledge by exami

    Abstract: Does the American Jewish experience represent a singular communal circumstance, or does it repeat, with obvious and unavoidable variation, the older European pattern of Jewish existence? In 2004, on the occasion of the 350th anniversary of the establishment of the American Jewish community, this question seemed well worth revisiting. To explore it more fully, the Elie Wiesel Center for Judaic Studies at Boston University brought together a distinguished group of expert scholars on the main areas of American Jewish life, stretching from the colonial Jewish experience to the image of Jews in con

    Abstract: Wehr's Hermes on Two Wheels examines an interesting social phenomenon closely in order to derive insights about the contradictions and challenges of our accelerated era of laptop capitalism. He shows that the Internet-driven post-Fordist era cannot dispense with actual people, who dodge traffic in order to deliver important pulp documents on time. In this, he brilliantly opposes technological optimism, which assumes that utopia is a chatroom. Bicycle messengers, an edgy crew, live on the edges of our fast society and help us see it more clearly. This book is very much in the tradition of Walte

    Abstract: Auf Basis der jährlich erhobenen repräsentativen Mehrthemenbefragung türkeistämmiger Migranten liegt nun eine Analyse vor, die über einen Zeitraum von zehn Jahren die Integration der größten - und auch meistdiskutierten - Zuwandergruppe in Deutschland beobachtet und auswertet. Dadurch erfolgt nicht nur eine aktuelle Bestandsaufnahme der vielfältigen Lebenssituation von Personen mit türkischem Migrationshintergrund, sondern darüber hinaus werden Verläufe und Veränderungen nachgezeichnet und untersucht

    Abstract: Nach einem Vorlauf von mehr als drei Jahrzehnten des Suchens und Sammelns im Frankfurter Institut für Sexualwissenschaft legen in diesem Band 60 angesehene Forscherinnen und Forscher aus aller Welt 200 faszinierende Artikel über Leben und Werk bedeutender Sexualforscherinnen und Sexualforscher vor. Hierzu gehören prominente Fachvertreter, die Institute, Zeitschriften oder Fachgesellschaften gründeten, weichenstellende Kongresse abhielten, Standardwerke verfassten, Theorien entwickelten oder provozierende Hypothesen aufstellten. Aber auch wenig bekannte, zu ihrer Zeit und in ihrem Bereich jedoch nachhaltig wirkende Persönlichkeiten sowie Außenseiter, denen die Sexualwissenschaft wichtige Impulse verdankt, sind im vorliegenden Lexikon zu finden - ebenso bekannte Philosophen und Soziologen wie etwa Michel Foucault, Norbert Elias oder Niklas Luhmann. Ein besonderes Anliegen ist den Herausgebern die Erschließung des Werkes jener jüdischen Sexualwissenschaftler, die der Naziterror aus Deutschland vertrieben hat. Es gibt kein vergleichbares Werk weltweit. Volkmar Sigusch, Arzt und Soziologe, ist einer der angesehensten Sexualwissenschaftler der Gegenwart. Er hatte bis zu seiner Emeritierung den Frankfurter Lehrstuhl für Sexualwissenschaft inne und gründete das gleichnamige Institut. Günter Grau, Medizinhistoriker, arbeitete an den medizinhistorischen Instituten der Universität Leipzig und der Charité Berlin sowie am Institut für empirische und angewandte Soziologie der Universität Bremen.

    Abstract: Die Aussetzung neugeborener Kinder, für moderne Moral fraglos unmenschlich und grausam, kam in den antiken Gesellschaften rund ums Mittelmeer vor. Daraus kann allerdings nicht der Schluss gezogen werden, Kindesaussetzung sei in der Zeit der Antike ein ganz alltägliches Phänomen gewesen. Zum einen lässt sich über deren Häufigkeit aus der Distanz von mehr als zweitausend Jahren nichts Sicheres sagen. Zum anderen gab es eine namhafte Zahl an Texten antiker Schriftsteller, in denen Kritik an der Kindesaussetzung geübt wird. Die entsprechenden Quellen sind in der vorliegenden Studie erstmals gesamm

    Keywords: Power (Social sciences) ; Social theory ; Political science & theory ; Political Science ; General ; Power (Social sciences) ; Electronic books ; Electronic books
    Abstract: It is an exciting time to consider changes in the field of comparative-historical sociology, as the discipline seeks to accommodate both old and new trends as well as the transforming spatial scales in which political power and social theory are increasingly embedded. Volume 20 of "Political Power and Social Theory" starts the ball rolling by showcasing articles that pursue similar themes. The question of what is old and what is new hovers over most of the contributions, particularly the peer-reviewed chapters in parts I and II, which consider such long-standing socio-historical concerns as power structure theory, class-based collective action, and empire - but examine them through new conceptual, methodological, and historical lenses. This year's volume also offers a critical treatment of the spatial or territorial dynamics of state hegemony, class power, ideologies of governance, and citizenship - with the latter theme most well developed in debate over the new geographies of citizenship in the Scholarly Controversy Section as well as in part-II's guest-edited section on Empire and Colonialism

It is a quick and essential reference for understanding the broad policy discussions that animate thought leaders, policy-makers and the public in the country during the immediate period or that are likely to do so in the short and medium term. In this volume, contributors take an in-depth look at four topics of pertinent interest to Singapore's mid- to long-term future and offer some radical ideas for Si

Sylvia Kade rückt die Zeitdimension des Lernens in den Mittelpunkt und entwirft eine Didaktik der differentiellen Bildung. Für ihre Lernmodelle berücksichtigt sie die historische Entwicklung im Umgang mit Alter genauso wie die Diskussion um die demografische Entwicklung, die Lebensstile und Bildungsprofile des Alterns oder die institutionellen Angebote der Altersbildung.   Biographische Informationen Sylvia Kade leitete zwischen 1982 und 2002 Projekte zur Altersbildung beim Deutschen Institut für Erwachsenenbildung (DIE).   Reihe Erwachsenenbildung und lebensbegleitendes Lernen - Grundlagen & Theorie - Band 7.

    Abstract: What does it mean to call a place home? Who is allowed to become a member of a community? How do we create community? When can we say that we truly belong? The issues of place and belonging are the subject of this book. Moving from past to present, the author charts a journey in which she moves from place to place, from country to city and back again, only to end where she began in her native place, Kentucky. She explores a geography of the heart, focusing on issues of homeplace, of land, and land stewardship, linking the issues to global environmentalism and sustainability. She writes about family and the ties that bind. And she focuses on the experience of black farmers, past and present who celebrate local organic food production. This work offers a vision of a world where all people, wherever they call home, can live fully and well, and where everyone can belong

    Abstract: Bei der vorliegenden Studie handelt es sich um eine empirische Untersuchung zur interkulturellen Wirtschaftskommunikation zwischen deutschen und ukrainischen Unternehmern. Die Arbeit an der Schnittstelle von Kultursoziologie und interpretativer Soziolinguistik rekonstruiert mithilfe einer Methodentriangulation zentrale Kommunikationsprobleme, kulturelle kommunikative Muster sowie generell Deutungs- und Handlungsmuster, die für ukrainisch-deutsche Geschäftsbeziehungen und -prozesse typisch sind. Gemäß der Komplexität des Forschungsfeldes enthält die Arbeit außerdem eine umfangreiche Darstellung der wissenschaftlichen Literatur zur interkulturellen (Wirtschafts-)Kommunikation, zur Osteuropaforschung (der Geschichte der Ukraine, der wirtschaftlichen / politischen Transformation) sowie zur Geschlechterforschung aus interdisziplinärer Perspektive.

    Abstract: 9/11 and its aftermath have shown that our ideas about what constitutes sovereign power lag dangerously behind the burgeoning claims to rights and recognition within and across national boundaries. New configurations of sovereignty are at the heart of political and cultural transformations globally. Sovereign Bodies shifts the debate on sovereign power away from territoriality and external recognition of state power, toward the shaping of sovereign power through the exercise of violence over human bodies and populations. In this volume, sovereign power, whether exercised by a nation-state or

    Abstract: Interest in the study of kinship, a key area of anthropological enquiry, has recently reemerged. Dubbed 'the new kinship', this interest was stimulated by the 'new genetics' and revived interest in kinship and family patterns. This volume investigates the impact of biotechnology on contemporary understandings of kinship, of family and 'belonging' in a variety of European settings and reveals similarities and differences in how kinship is conceived. What constitutes kinship for different publics? How significant are biogenetic links? What does family resemblance tell us? Why is genetically mod

    Abstract: Die Frage 'Was ist Dialektik' wirft bis heute Unklarheiten auf, zuweilen auch erhebliche Kontroversen und Ärgernisse. Aus der Perspektive der älteren Kritischen Theorie zeigt sich, dass verbindliche Angaben über Ziel und Reichweite, Inhalt und Form, Anspruch und Wirklichkeit, Genesis und Geltung einer sozialwissenschaftlich relevanten Dialektik durchaus gegeben werden können. Größe und Grenzen einer reflexiven, vermittlungslogischen Dialektik im Anschluss an Hegel und Adorno werden genauer betrachtet, dargestellt und diskutiert.

    Abstract: "The Empire Windrush docked at Tilbury in the United Kingdom on June 22, 1948, carrying the hopes, dreams and aspirations of the first post-war generation of Caribbean migrants who left their homeland in search of a better life. Freedom and Constraint in Caribbean Migration and Diaspora explores the contemporary nature of migration, the socio-economic, political and cultural impact of such movements, while highlighting the varying discourses that arise. Race, transnationalism and the emerging concept of 'Diaspora' are all examined providing insight for the academic, decision-maker, student and all those interested in migration studies. As a selection of contributions made at the June 2006 conference at the University of the West Indies, Mona, 'Caribbean Migration: Forced and Free', this volume represents the experience of the entire Caribbean region: Anglophone, Hispanophone, Francophone and Dutch. With authors from across the Caribbean and beyond, it offers some contrasting perspectives on current issues related to movement, return and resettlement."-- Provided by publisher

    Abstract: This volume examines the ways in which bodies, lived and imagined, were implicated in issues of cosmic order and social organisation in Graeco-Roman antiquity. It focuses on the body in performance (especially in a rhetorical context), the erotic body, the dressed body, pagan and Christian bodies as well as divine bodies and animal bodies. The articles draw on a range of evidence and approaches, cover a broad chronological and geographical span, and explore the ways bodies can transgress and dissolve, as well shore up, or even create, boundaries and hierarchies.

    Abstract: The port city of Liverpool, England, is home to one of the oldest Black communities in Britain. Its members proudly date their history back at least as far as the nineteenth century, with the global wanderings and eventual settlement of colonial African seamen. Jacqueline Nassy Brown analyzes how this worldly origin story supports an avowedly local Black politic and identity--a theme that becomes a window onto British politics of race, place, and nation, and Liverpool's own contentious origin story as a gloriously cosmopolitan port of world-historical import that was nonetheless central to Br

    Abstract: What is black culture? Does it have an essence? What do we lose and gain by assuming that it does, and by building our laws accordingly? This bold and provocative book questions the common presumption of political multiculturalism that social categories such as race, ethnicity, gender, and sexuality are defined by distinctive cultural practices. Richard Ford argues against law reform proposals that would attempt to apply civil rights protections to "cultural difference." Unlike many criticisms of multiculturalism, which worry about "reverse discrimination" or the erosion of core Western cult

    Abstract: Culture, 1922 traces the intellectual and institutional deployment of the culture concept in England and America in the first half of the twentieth century. With primary attention to how models of culture are created, elaborated upon, transformed, resisted, and ignored, Marc Manganaro works across disciplinary lines to embrace literary, literary critical, and anthropological writing. Tracing two traditions of thinking about culture, as elite products and pursuits and as common and shared systems of values, Manganaro argues that these modernist formulations are not mutually exclusive and have

    Abstract: This book reconsiders the dominant Western understandings of freedom through the lens of women's real-life experiences of domestic violence, welfare, and Islamic veiling. Nancy Hirschmann argues that the typical approach to freedom found in political philosophy severely reduces the concept's complexity, which is more fully revealed by taking such practical issues into account. Hirschmann begins by arguing that the dominant Western understanding of freedom does not provide a conceptual vocabulary for accurately characterizing women's experiences. Often, free choice is assumed when women are i

Coincidentally, these were also the decades that globalization reached maturity and that the world became more interconnected and interdependent. The paradox of globalization for Africa has included increase in marginalization, poverty, inequality, migration and instability.

    Keywords: Philosophy ; Communication Philosophy ; Communication - Philosophy ; Electronic books ; Massenmedien ; Kommunikation ; Philosophie
    Abstract: Gatekeeping is one of the media's central roles in public life: people rely on mediators to transform information about billions of events into a manageable number of media messages. This process determines not only which information is selected, but also what the content and nature of messages, such as news, will be. Gatekeeping Theory describes the powerful process through which events are covered by the mass media, explaining how and why certain information either passes through gates or is closed off from media attention. This book is essential for understanding how even single, seemingly trivial gatekeeping decisions can come together to shape an audience's view of the world, and illustrates what is at stake in the process.

    Keywords: Educational sociology ; Electronic books
    Abstract: This collection brings together many of the world's leading sociologists of education to explore and address key issues and concerns within the discipline. The thirty-seven newly commissioned chapters draw upon theory and research to provide new accounts of contemporary educational processes, global trends, and changing and enduring forms of social conflict and social inequality. The research, conducted by leading international scholars in the field, indicates that two complexly interrelated agendas are discernible in the heat and noise of educational change over the past twenty-five years. The first rests on a clear articulation by the state of its requirements of education. The second promotes at least the appearance of greater autonomy on the part of educational institutions in the delivery of those requirements. The Routledge International Handbook of the Sociology of Education examines the ways in which the sociology of education has responded to these two political agendas, addressing a range of issues which cover three key areas: perspectives and theories social processes and practices inequalities and resistances. The book strongly communicates the vibrancy and diversity of the sociology of education and the nature of 'sociological work' in this field. It will be a primary resource for teachers, as well as a title of major interest to practising sociologists of education.

    Abstract: With more than 230 million international tourists a year, the Mediterranean region is the largest tourist destination in the world. This book outlines that its economic importance is matched by its significance as a cultural and aesthetic phenomenon. Through a series of ethnographic insights into some of the key sites of mass Mediterranean tourism, it focuses on package tourists' experiences of the serial, banal and depthless spaces that are mushrooming along the coast and the enchantments, dissolutions and dreams that saturate them. Moving away from the notion of authentic places corrupted by mass tourism, the book shows how new forms and spaces are made and remade by the mobilities and performances of locals, workers and tourists. Finally, the book looks at the complex materialities of mass tourism and the many networks that make it possible.

How do they believe their lives are different because of this choice? What impact does this choice have on media research?" "This volume provides a current, distinctive, and important look at how personal choices on media are made, and how those choices reflect more broadly on media's place in today's society."--BOOK JACKET

Observing, describing
