    Pages: 1 Online-Ressource (22 Seiten)

    Keywords: Allgemeines, Wissenschaft ; Geschichte ; Sozialwissenschaften, Soziologie, Anthropologie
    Abstract: This paper presents the application of a methodological approach originally developed for urban planning to urban anthropology. This research approach focuses on different materialities in order to analyze functional zones, special areas and several categories of markers of up- and downgrading processes within a city. This focus on materialities and their integration patterns into urban space enables to make systematic comparisons between different areas within a city as well as between different cities. Using examples of transects carried out in two Southern Caucasian capitals – Baku (Azerbaijan) and Tbilisi (Georgia) – different ways of implementing a transect, collecting and recording the data are discussed.

    »Les Noirs Perfectionnés« : Cultural Embourgeoisement in Belgian Congo during the 1940s and 1950s (2012)

    Series Statement: Sonderforschungsbereich 640: Repräsentationen sozialer Ordnungen im Wandel 2012,2012,4

    Keywords: Cultural Embourgeoisement ; Belgian Congo ; Colonialism Africa ; Allgemeines, Wissenschaft ; Geschichte ; Sozialwissenschaften, Soziologie, Anthropologie
    Abstract: The working paper deals with the making of the African elite in late colonial Belgian Congo and the role of cultural embourgeoisement in negotiating its place in the social order. It follows the premise that the discourse on social categories and the political attempts to invent, maintain and transform the colonial order has to be combined with what the actors made of it. By investigating the discussion and politics of officially recognizing the African elite as well as their medial, social and private spaces, it argues that by playing out their ascribed intermediary position between colonizers and colonized, the évolués strived for a better place in the social order. The main argument is that cultural embourgeoisement was crucial to the making of the African elite. Cultural embourgeoisement will be analyzed as both an empowerment strategy of colonial subjects for upward mobility, and the colonial state’s policy to assert difference and maintain social order in times of crisis. The African elite were thus representations of a two-folded and highly ambivalent colonial change.

    Challenging the Theory of Diaspora from the Field (2012)
    Berlin : Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Philosophische Fakultät I
    Details
    ISSN: 2190-314X
    Language: English
    Pages: 1 Online-Ressource (13 Seiten)
    Series Statement: Sonderforschungsbereich 640: Repräsentationen sozialer Ordnungen im Wandel 2012,2012,1

    Keywords: Armenia migration ; ethnicity homeland ; local community ; global diaspora ; cultural identity emotional places ; shared homeland ; Allgemeines, Wissenschaft ; Geschichte ; Sozialwissenschaften, Soziologie, Anthropologie
    Abstract: This paper argues that the theoretical categories, descriptive and analytical frameworks applied to the phenomenon of Diasporas have become overused, overtheorized, yet at the same time uncontested and taken for granted in the scholarly discussion. In most cases, the classical Diaspora theoretical framework focuses on ethnic representations, the reasons and conditions of dispersal, traumatic pasts and connections with the homeland. It also concentrates on integration issues in host societies, but not on where and how these people lived before actual migration to their current place of residence and, most importantly, what cultural baggage (symbolic or otherwise) they continue to bring with them from their countries of (re-)migration to a concrete local community.
