    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: If personal and national identity is often constructed in terms of place, how do our identities and values change as places themselves are transformed? What happens to the spaces in which we live as societal values and identities change? These questions can be asked of almost any discipline, whether one is taking a photograph or mapping a literary topography, tracing linguistic change in a geographic region or language's importance to our conception of a political territory, building a house

    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: Cultural life in the former German Democratic Republic (GDR) was strictly controlled by the ruling party, the SED, who attempted to dictate how people spent their free time by prohibiting privately organized leisure time pursuits and offering instead cultural activities in state institutions and organizations. By exploring the nature of dictatorial rule in the GDR and analysing the population's engagement with state-organized cultural activity, this book challenges the current assumptions about the GDR's social and institutional history that ignore the interaction and inter-dependence between 'rulers' and 'ruled'. The author argues that the people's cultural life in the GDR developed a dynamic of its own; it was determined by their own interests and by the input of cultural functionaries, who often aimed to satisfy popular demands, even if they were at odds with the SED's cultural policy. Gradually, these developments affected SED cultural policy, which in the 1960s became less focused on educationalist goals and increasingly oriented towards popular interests.

    Abstract: Sustainable management is an important consideration for businesses and organisations, and the enormous number of tourism events taking place requiring facilities, power, transport, people and much more makes sustainable event planning a considerable priority. By looking at mega events, sports events, conferences and festivals, this book uses best practice case studies to illustrate sustainable management issues and practical considerations that managers need to apply, providing an essential reference for researchers and students in leisure and tourism.

The importance of ethnicity to Lamu's jua kali artists and the ways that ethnic identity is expressed visually in their artwork offers a unique approach to analyzing processes of cultural commoditization

    Abstract: Reisen zu indigenen Kulturen sind wegen deren angeblichen Verletzlichkeit verpönt. Diese Berechtigung dieser Ansicht wird am Beispiel von Tourismus zu Tuareg-Nomaden in der Region Agadez, Zentralsahara, überprüft. Dazu wurden die historischen, politischen, ökonomischen und kulturellen Rahmenbedingungen und Entwicklungsprozesse der Region sowie auch jene des Bergdorfes Timia in den Aïr-Bergen untersucht. Besonderes Augenmerk galt den Strukturen der regionalen Tourismusentwicklung, wozu regionale Agenturbetreiber, Sahara-Touristen sowie Angehörige der betroffenen Landbevölkerung interviewt wurde

    Abstract: Main description: Die arabische Welt ist eine Welt der Gegensätze: Auf der einen Seite sind religiöser Fanatismus, Unterdrückung der Frau, Nepotismus und Bestechlichkeit nicht nur Klischees, sondern vielerorts harte Wirklichkeit. Andererseits boomt die Region durch Ölpreissteigerung und wirtschaftliche und politische Öffnung. Das Bevölkerungswachstum lässt nach und vielerorts empfängt den Fremden eine Herzlichkeit, mit der er erst umzugehen lernen muss. Nach einigen Kontakten ahnt er, dass Araber anders denken und empfinden. Viele dieser Unterschiede haben ihren Ursprung in ferner geschichtlicher Vergangenheit und die Araber sind sich dessen sehr wohl bewusst. Es lohnt daher gerade in einem Arabien-Knigge, diesen kulturellen Wurzeln nachzuspüren. In Arabien ist es wichtiger zu ahnen, wie die Menschen denken, als möglichst vollständige Listen mit Verhaltensmaßregeln aufzustellen.

    Abstract: "The New York Times reports that since 1990 more Africans have voluntarily relocated to the United States and Canada than had been forcibly brought here before the slave trade ended in 1807. The key reason for these migrations has been the collapse of social, political, economic, and educational structures in their home countries, which has driven Africans to seek security and self-realization in the West. This lively and timely collection of essays takes a look at the new immigrant experience. It traces the immigrants' progress from expatriation to arrival and covers the successes as well as problems they have encountered as they establish their lives in a new country. The contributors, most immigrants themselves, use their firsthand experiences to add clarity, honesty, and sensitivity to their discussions of the new African diaspora."--Publisher's description

    Abstract: Since 2001, Media Lens has encouraged thousands of readers to challenge the filtered and distorted version of the world provided by major newspapers and broadcasters. The media responses, collected in Newspeak, are an exposé of the arrogance and servility to power of our leading journalists and editors. Picking up where the highly acclaimed and successful Guardians of Power (2006) left off, Newspeak is packed with forensic media analysis, revealing the lethal bias in 'balanced' reporting. Even the 'best' UK media -- the Guardian, the Independent, Channel 4 News and the BBC -- turn out to be cheerleaders for government, business and war. Alongside an A-Z of BBC propaganda and chapters on Iraq and climate change, Newspeak focuses on the demonization of Iran and Venezuela, the Israel-Palestine conflict, the myth of impartial reporting and the dark art of smearing dissidents

    Abstract: Review text: "Der niveauvolle Band dürfte gerade angesichts seiner Vielfalt ein brauchbares Repetitorium sein, auf das sich künftige Überlegungen zur Elitengeschichte des 19. Jahrhunderts stützen können." Silke Marburg in: Comparativ, 1 (2011) 1, S. 132-136 "Die Beiträge des Sammelbandes liefern auch für Nichtspezialisten instruktive Einsichten zum europäischen Elitenwandel im 19. Jahrhundert." Kai Sammet in: Zeitschrift für Geschichtswissenschaft, 58 (2010) 6
    Abstract: Main description: Wie formierten sich die gesellschaftlichen Eliten des 19. Jahrhunderts? Auf welchen Wegen gelang es neuen Akteuren aufzusteigen und alten oben zu bleiben? Lassen sich Regeln aufzeigen, nach denen Elitenpositionen errungen und verteidigt wurden? Das Konzept "Akteure – Arenen – Aushandlungsprozesse" erlaubt es, den gesellschaftlichen Wandel und die Formierung von Eliten als einen offenen Prozess zu analysieren. Als Arenen werden Handlungsfelder bezeichnet, die von Akteuren genutzt wurden, um Bedingungen für das Aufsteigen bzw. Obenbleiben auszuhandeln. Die in dem Band versammelten Untersuchungen beschäftigen sich mit Verwaltung, Militär, land- und provinzialständischer Repräsentation, kommunaler Selbstverwaltung, Bildungspolitik und Justiz, aber auch mit der industriellen Sphäre, mit Landwirtschaftsvereinen, kulturellen Aktivitäten oder Formen elitärer Geselligkeit. Sie erproben das Konzept an Beispielen aus den polnischen Ländern unter russischer, habsburgischer oder preußischer Herrschaft, aus Böhmen, Mähren, Ungarn und Kroatien-Slavonien sowie aus deutschen Ländern, Italien und Russland. In der Zusammenschau der verschiedenen Arenen zeichnet sich die Vielzahl von Varianten gesellschaftlichen Wandels ab.

    Abstract: This collection of essays brings together two major new developments in cultural memory studies: firstly, the shift away from static models of cultural memory, where the emphasis lies on cultural products, in the direction of more dynamic models where the emphasis lies instead on the cultural and social processes involved in the ongoing production of shared views of the past; and secondly, the growing interest in the role of the media, and their role beyond that of mere storage, within these dynamics. The specific concern of this collection is linking the use of media to the larger socio-cultur

While the other volumes select specific philosophical, cognitive, grammatical, social, cultural, variational, or discursive angles, this fourth volume is dedicated to the empirical investigation of the way human beings organize their interaction in natural environments and how they use talk for accomplishing actions and their contexts. Starting from Goffman's observation that interaction exhibits

    Abstract: The follow-up to the critically acclaimed collection Southern Manhood: Perspectives on Masculinity in the Old South (Georgia, 2004), Southern Masculinity explores the contours of southern male identity from Reconstruction to the present. Twelve case studies document the changing definitions of southern masculine identity as understood in conjunction with identities based on race, gender, age, sexuality, and geography. After the Civil War, southern men crafted notions of manhood in opposition to northern ideals of masculinity and as counterpoint to southern womanhood. At the same time, manliness in the South--as understood by individuals and within communities--retained and transformed antebellum conceptions of honor and mastery. This collection examines masculinity with respect to Reconstruction, the New South, racism, southern womanhood, the Sunbelt, gay rights, and the rise of the Christian Right. Familiar figures such as Arthur Ashe are investigated from fresh angles, while other essays plumb new areas such as the womanless wedding and Cherokee masculinity

    Abstract: The book presents a discourse analysis of police interrogations involving U.S. Hispanic suspects accused of crimes. The study is unique in that it concentrates on interrogations involving suspects whose first language is not English and police officers who have a rudimentary knowledge of Spanish. It examines the pitfalls of using police officers as interpreters at custodial interrogations. Using an interactional sociolinguistic discourse analytical approach, the book offers a microlinguistic examination of interrogations involving persons accused of murder, child molestation, and kidnapping.

    Abstract: Main description: Als dezidierter Beitrag zur Kunst- und Kulturgeschichte des Politischen fragt das Buch nach der Inanspruchnahme von Kunst zur Herrschaftsrepräsentation, nach Ritualen und Zeichensystemen der Macht am französischen Königshof in der ersten Hälfte des 16. Jahrhunderts. Kunstförderung und Herrschaftshandeln werden hierbei als strukturhomologe Strategien eines (früh)modernen Politikmodells analysiert. Die Entscheidung für einen spezifisch "modernen" Kunststil – den italienischen Manierismus – wurde für den französischen König François Ier zum Politikum: Er schuf sich in Fontainebleau ein Reich mit künstlerischen Mitteln, über das er jederzeit im Sinne der Deutungshoheit als Herrschaftsakt verfügen konnte. Kunstwerke von Rosso Fiorentino, Benvenuto Cellini und Primaticcio, die in ihrer Skurrilität und Vielschichtigkeit die sinnliche Ausgangsevidenz für eine lohnende Betrachtung bieten; historische Szenen auf höchster machtpolitischer Ebene, die sich in ihrer kommunikativen und zeremoniellen Funktion erst dem ethnographisch-verfremdenden Blick erschließen; schließlich ein höfisches Milieu, in dem Intellekt, Macht, Witz, Hermetik und Erotik eine unauflösliche Verbindung eingehen: Was könnten reizvollere Quellen für die Erschließung der Spezifika von Manierismus und Herrschaftspraxis am französischen Hof im Kontext des europäischen Mächtesystems nach 1500 sein?
    Abstract: Review text: "[...] eine rundum glanzvolle Arbeit, die durch intellektuelle Dichte und Brillanz besticht und, neben vielen anderen klugen Gedanken, eine höchst anregende These formuliert, an der die politikgeschichtliche wie auch die kunsthistorische Forschung zur französischen Renaissance sich noch einige Zeit werden abarbeiten müssen." Sigrid Ruby in: sehepunkte, Ausgabe 11 (2011), Nr. 2 "Hier kann man lernen, Politik mit anderen Mitteln fortzuführen: Christine Tauber beschreibt, wie Ästhetik und Macht im Zeitalter des Manierismus zusammenarbeiten." Caspar Hirschi in: Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, 13. August 2009 "Das vorliegende Werk ist eine große Leistung, die die deutsche kunsthistorische Frankreichforschung in hervorragender Weise bereichert." Christian Hecht in: H-ArtHist, 7. Juni 2009

    Abstract: Das Buch untersucht, weshalb der Elite-Begriff erst nach 1945 in Deutschland eine tragende Rolle zur Beschreibung der politisch-sozialen Ordnung spielte. "Elite" wird dabei als eine bestimmte Form des Meinungswissens über die Ordnung der Gesellschaft verstanden, das im Wesentlichen auf vier Annahmen basiert: 1. Jede Gesellschaft zerfällt in die Elite und die Nicht-Elite. 2. Die Elite bildet den (einzig) relevanten Teil einer Gesellschaft. 3. Eliten werden sozial wirksam durch die Herstellung eines Konsenses, nicht durch Unterwerfung. 4. Elite-Mitglieder werden in Systemen der Leistungsauslese unter Konkurrenzbedingungen ausgewählt. Damit wurde der westdeutschen Gesellschaft genau die stabile politisch-ideelle Ordnung gegeben, die den politischen Systemen seit 1871 fehlte

This matrix extended throughout England and the Continent and included Scandinavia and Finland. In a remarkable display of investigative research, Marg

    Abstract: "Rebellion, insurgency, or civil war-conflict within a society is customarily treated as a matter of domestic politics and analysts generally focus their attention on local causes. Yet fighting between governments and opposition groups is rarely confined to the domestic arena. "Internal" wars often spill across national boundaries, rebel organizations frequently find sanctuaries in neighboring countries, and insurgencies give rise to disputes between states. In Rebels without Borders, which will appeal to students of international and civil war and those developing policies to contain the regional diffusion of conflict, Idean Salehyan examines transnational rebel organizations in civil conflicts, using cross-national data sets as well as in-depth case studies. He shows how external Contra bases in Honduras and Costa Rica facilitated the Nicaraguan civil war and how the Rwandan civil war spilled over into the Democratic Republic of the Congo, fostering a regional war. He also looks at other cross-border insurgencies, such as those of the Kurdish PKK and Taliban fighters in Pakistan. Salehyan reveals that external sanctuaries feature in the political history of more than half of the world's armed insurgencies since 1945 and are also important in fostering state-to-state conflicts." "Rebels who are unable to challenge the state on its own turf look for mobilization opportunities abroad. Neighboring states that are too weak to prevent rebel access, states that wish to foster instability in their rivals, and large refugee diasporas provide important opportunities for insurgent groups to establish external bases. Such sanctuaries complicate intelligence gathering, counterinsurgency operations, and efforts at peacemaking. States that host rebels intrude into negotiations between governments and opposition movements and can block progress toward peace when they pursue their own agendas." -- Book jacket

    Abstract: New technologies emerge all the time. Some technologies, however, are transformative: they introduce new forms of control, both through formal systems of regulation and by informally shaping our behavior. They have profound impacts and are often disruptive; they affect the way we work and play; they influence our mobility and lifestyle. They offer hope and possibility while introducing new fears and unintended consequences. Too often our social reactions to new technologies occur only in hindsight, after the technology has penetrated the marketplace. However, recent experience teaches that much may be gained by practicing forethought and foresight. Contributors to this collection examine the development, impact, and governance of new technologies emerging from a variety of fields, including biotechnology, genetics, stem cell research, pharmacology, and nanotechnology

    Abstract: This book introduces and provides commentary on a selection of published and unpublished works by Victoria Welby and exponents of the Signific Movement in the Netherlands. Beyond offering an important contribution to the reconstruction of a neglected phase in the history of ideas, it evidences the theoretical topicality of significs, in particular the focus on the relation of signs to value, meaning, and understanding, on verbal and nonverbal behavior, and on language and communication

    Abstract: Geschichte hat gegenwärtig Konjunktur - besonders populäre Präsentationen prägen das Geschichtsbild nachhaltig. Dennoch ist das Forschungsfeld populärer Geschichtskulturen bisher wenig bearbeitet worden. Die Beiträge des Bandes beschäftigen sich aus inter- und transdisziplinärer Perspektive mit Geschichtsdarstellungen in Print, Film und Fernsehen. Hinzu kommen Analysen von Medien und Genres, die bisher kaum erforscht wurden, etwa Geschichtstheater, Computerspiele oder Stadtrundgänge

    Abstract: The great majority of the South's plantation homes have been destroyed over time, and many have long been forgotten. In Lost Plantations of the South , Marc R. Matrana weaves together photographs, diaries and letters, architectural renderings, and other rare documents to tell the story of sixty of these vanquished estates and the people who once called them home. From plantations that were destroyed by natural disaster such as Alabama?s Forks of Cypress, to those that were intentionally demolished such as Seven Oaks in Louisiana and Mount Brilliant in Kentucky, Matrana resurrects these lost ma

    Abstract: In the extension of digital media from optional means to central site of activity, the domains of language, art, learning, play, film, and politics have been subject to radical reconfigurations as mediating structures. This book examines how this changed relationship has in each case shaped a new form of discourse between self and culture and illustrates explicitly the character of mediated agency beyond the formal separateness from lived experience that was once conveniently termed the virtual and which has come to influence common assumptions about creative expression itself. Francisco J. Ricardo is Research Associate at the University Professors Program and co-director of the Digital Video Research Archive at Boston University, and teaches digital media theory at the Rhode Island School of Design. He has degrees from Harvard University and Boston University. His research examines historical, conceptual, and computational intersections between contemporary and new media art

    Abstract: Sweet Liberty offers a history of Martinique and its relationship to metropolitan France during the final years of slavery in the French empire. It argues that an Atlantic-world approach reveals how race, slavery, class, and gender shaped what it meant to be French on both sides of the ocean.

    Abstract: Today's world is shaped by an obsession with cultural difference that penetrates everyday life and matters of state in unprecedented ways. Culture and cultural difference are commonly used to explain everything that's in the news, from wars to economic development and consumer behavior. This fuels the belief that our world is shaped by clashing cultures, a view that is counterproductive when it assumes falsely that culture is a timeless container that traps nations and ethnic groups. This work challenges the misguided and dangerous global obsession with cultural difference and directly critiques the popular notion that world affairs are determined by essential civilizations with immutable and conflicting cultures. The book offers an alternative view of a world in which cultural mixing, not isolation, is the norm, but where several historical trends have come together at the beginning of the twenty first century to produce the current wave of "culture think." Brimming with concrete examples that move from genocide in Rwanda to schools in Berlin, from the Chrysler boardroom to the war in Iraq, it contemplates how ethnic identity can be mobilized in the service of all kinds of goals, violent or nonviolent, laudable or despicable, and the unintended effects such mobilization invariably produces. The authors suggest ways to remain sensitive to the cultural impacts of policies and decisions without falling into the traps of determinism, essentialism, and misrepresentation

    Abstract: "Making illegal residence unattractive is a way for Western governments to limit migration from non-Western countries. Focusing on Dutch neighbourhoods with substantial levels of unauthorised migrants, Illegal Residence and Public Safety in the Netherlands examines how restrictive immigration policy influences immigrant crime and perceived neighborhood security. Salient questions arise. To what extent, and under which conditions, do illegal residence and illegal migration impact public safety? Does having illegal residence status influence how people observe or break the law and other social rules? Do their ties with established groups, such as legal migrants, employers and partners, have any sway? Answers to these issues begin surfacing in this rich combination of quantitative information, comprising police figures and surveys on victimisation, and qualitative sources, including interviews at the Dutch Aliens Custody and urban field research"--Publisher's description

    Abstract: Conflict and dispute pervade political and policy discussions. Moreover, unequal power relations tend to heighten levels of conflict. In this context of contention, figuring out ways to accommodate others and reach solutions that are agreeable to all is a perennial challenge for activists, politicians, planners, and policymakers. John Forester is one of America's eminent scholars of progressive planning and dispute resolution in the policy arena, and in Dealing with Differences he focuses on a series of 'hard cases'--conflicts that appeared to be insoluble yet which were resolved in the end.

    Abstract: This book provides a microanalysis of the interactions between four children and their parents starting when the children were aged 9 to 13 months and ending when they were 18 months old. It tracks development as an issue for and of interaction. In so doing, it uncovers the details of the organisation of the sequence structure of the interactions, and exposes the workings of language and social development as they unfold in everyday activities. The study begins with a description of pre-verbal children's sequences of action and then tracks those sequences as linguistic ability increases. The a

    Abstract: In the Netherlands, single mothers run a high risk of becoming poor, even though this country has a well-developed welfare system. This study brings together many partial life histories of single mothers of different cultural backgrounds and origins and shows that poverty is not solely material deprivation. Through its in-depth account of the ways single mothers construct their everyday lives, this book sheds light on the many social, cultural and structural dimensions of poverty. In a context of economic hardship, gender inequality and stigmatization, the interviewed women give meaning to the

    Abstract: This book offers an overview of the rapidly expanding field of Psycho-Social research. Drawing on aspects of discourse psychology, continental philosophy and anthropological and neuro-scientific understandings of the emotions, psycho-social studies has emerged as an embryonic new paradigm in the human sciences. Psycho-social studies uses psychoanalytic concepts and principles to illuminate core issues within the social sciences. The present volume contributes to the development of the new research methodologies in a number of ways. It is written largely from the point of view of practitioners

    Abstract: Sociologist, social critic, and political radical C. Wright Mills (1916-1962) was one of the leading public intellectuals in twentieth century America. Offering an important new understanding of Mills and the times in which he lived, Radical Ambition challenges the captivating caricature that has prevailed of him as a lone rebel critic of 1950s complacency. Instead, it places Mills within broader trends in American politics, thought, and culture. Indeed, Daniel Geary reveals that Mills shared key assumptions about American society even with those liberal intellectuals who were his primary oppo
