    Abstract: Dieser Band steht für ein Programm, das die Relevanz postkolonialer Theorien für die Soziologie aufzeigt. Er bringt die aktuellen Diskussionen zum Thema aus Kultur-, Migrations- und Geschlechtersoziologie mit dem Ziel zusammen, nicht nur die Grundbegriffe und zentralen Theorien im disziplinären Kontext, sondern auch ihre gesellschaftspolitischen Implikationen vor dem Hintergrund einer postkolonialen Perspektive zu überdenken. Die vorwiegend aus dem Fach stammenden Beiträge gehen dabei sowohl theorie-systematisch wie empirisch vor, um die postkoloniale Perspektive in der Soziologie nachhaltig zu verankern

    Abstract: Der Assimilationsbegriff steht für ein Ensemble migrationssoziologischer Theorien, die sich um den konzeptionellen Kerngedanken der Angleichung von Immigranten gruppieren. Zugleich strukturiert er die politischen Auseinandersetzungen in den westlichen Einwanderungsländern.Jutta Aumüller zeichnet die theoretischen Konzepte der Assimilation in einer geschichtlichen Perspektive nach und kontrastiert sie mit den politischen Diskursen um Integration und Assimilation von zugewanderten Minderheiten seit der Nationalstaatsbewegung im 19. Jahrhundert.Ein kenntnisreicher diskursanalytischer Beitrag zur gegenwärtigen Debatte um Einwanderung und Integration

    Abstract: Intending Scotland reconsiders our understanding of the development of Scottish culture from the Enlightenment to the present day. The book recovers and reconnects Scottish thinkers from Hume and Reid in the eighteenth century, to Andrew Seth, Norman Kemp Smith and John Macmurray in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It contextualises their work in relation to the development of Scottish anthropology and psychology, from which emerged, in the work of Ian Suttie and R. D. Laing, some of the most significant challenges to Freudian psychology. Craig uses this Scottish tradition to challenge theories of the nation over the last thirty years, providing critiques of Bhabha's 'hybridity' and of Anderson's 'imagined community', and of theories of 'the Other' within a postcolonial framework. Ranging over Scotland's intellectual and cultural history across three centuries, taking in gardens and gardeners as well as historians and historiographers, scientists and engineers as well as philosophers and psychologists, Intending Scotland presents a reinterpretation of Scottish cultural life as radical as the developments in the nation's contemporary politics. Key debates addressed in Intending Scotland include: *Challenges negative conceptions of the Scottish cultural past and of the failures of Scotland's cultural development *Sets Scotland's recent political development in the context of its cultural achievements in the twentieth century *Deals with major figures in Scottish culture - Hume, Reid - and shows how our modern understanding of them is dependent on the work of later Scottish thinkers *Engages with prominent critics in contemporary theory - Anderson, Derrida, Bhabha, Kearney - and develops a critique of them from a Scottish perspective.

    Abstract: How do we construct national identities in discourse? Which topics, which discursive strategies and which linguistic devices are employed to construct national sameness and uniqueness on the one hand, and differences to other national collectives on the other hand? The Discursive Construction of National Identity analyses discourses of national identity in Europe with particular attention to Austria. In the tradition of critical discourse analysis, the authors analyse current and on-going transformations in the self-and other definition of national identities using an innovative interdisciplinary approach which combines discourse-historical theory and methodology and political science perspectives. Thus, the rhetorical promotion of national identification and the discursive construction and reproduction of national difference on public, semi-public and semi-private levels within a nation state are analysed in much detail and illustrated with a huge amount of examples taken from many genres (speeches, focus-groups, interviews, media, and so forth). In addition to the critical discourse analysis of multiple genres accompanying various commemorative and celebratory events in 1995, this extended and revised edition is able to draw comparisons with similar events in 2005. The impact of socio-political changes in Austria and in the European Union is also made transparent in the attempts of constructing hegemonic national identities. Key Features Discourse-historical approach Interdisciplinarity (cultural studies, discourse analysis, history, political science) Multi-method, multi-genre Qualitative case studies

    Abstract: This exploration of the role of violence in the history of Islamic societies considers the subject particularly in the context of its implementation as a political strategy to claim power over the public sphere. Violence, both among Muslims and between Muslims and non-Muslims, has been the object of research in the past, as in the case of jihad, martyrdom, rebellion or criminal law. This book goes beyond these concerns in addressing, in a comprehensive and cross-disciplinary fashion, how violence has functioned as a basic principle of Islamic social and political organization in a variety of h

    Abstract: This book provides an insightful overview of the major cultural forms of 1930s America: literature and drama, music and radio, film and photography, art and design, and a chapter on the role of the federal government in the development of the arts. The intellectual context of 1930s American culture is a strong feature, whilst case studies of influential texts and practitioners of the decade - from War of the Worlds to The Grapes of Wrath and from Edward Hopper to the Rockefeller Centre - help to explain the cultural impulses of radicalism, nationalism and escapism that characterize the United

    Abstract: Over the past few decades feminist media scholarship has flourished, to become a major influence on the fields of media, film and cultural studies. At the same time, the cultural shift towards post-feminism has raised questions about the continuing validity of feminism as a defining term for this work. This book explores the changing and often ambivalent relationship between the three terms women, feminism and media in the light of these recent debates. At the same time it places them within the broader discussions within feminist theory - about subjectivity, identity, culture, and narrative - of which they have formed a crucial part.The book is organised around four key topic areas. Fixing into Images offers a rethinking of one of the first preoccupations of feminist media analysis: the relationship between women and images. Narrating Femininity explores the narratives of femininity produced in media texts in the light of theories of narrative and identity. Real Women examines both the continuing absence of women voices from the genres of news and documentary, and their over-presence within popular reality media forms. Finally, Technologies of Difference examines the relationship between feminism, women and new media technologies. Throughout, the book explores key issues within feminist media studies both through specific examples and via critical engagement with the work of major theoretical writers. Features: a completely up-to-date study of the key areas of issue and debate in feminist media studies; includes case studies and discussion of the work of key writers in the field; contains readings of specific texts, ranging from news and advertising to reality TV and postfeminist TV drama.

    Abstract: Dieses Buch - die erste Analyse des Gesamtwerks des amerikanischen Ethnologen Marshall Sahlins - stellt die Frage nach der politischen Verortung von Sahlins' kulturellem Relativismus in den Mittelpunkt. Der Autor setzt dabei Sahlins' politischen Protest gegen den Vietnamkrieg in den 1960er Jahren, der in der Rezeption zumeist vernachlässigt wird, in Beziehung zu den interkulturellen Grabenkämpfen um »Writing Culture«, »Postkolonialismus« und »Indigenous Science«. Die Studie ist damit nicht nur eine umfassende Einführung in das Werk Marshall Sahlins, sondern analysiert zudem zentrale kulturtheoretische Fragen der Politik der Repräsentation

    Abstract: This book provides a new framework for examining and comprehending the varied historical experiences of ethnic groups in the United States. Thematically organized and comparative in outlook, it explores how historians have grappled with questions that bear upon a key aspect of the American experience: ethnicity. How did the United States come to have such an ethnically diverse population? What contribution, if any, has this ethnic diversity made to the shaping of American culture and institutions?

    Abstract: Nicaragua ist seit der sandinistischen Revolution im Jahr 1979 einem politischen Ringen zwischen Autoritarismus und Demokratisierung unterworfen. Die Studie geht der Frage nach, wie sich der gesellschaftliche Transformationsprozess auf die soziale Organisation dörflicher Gemeinschaften auswirkt und welche Rolle dabei das kulturelle Erbe spielt. Auch wird ein bisher nicht geleisteter Vergleich zwischen den beiden Landesteilen an Atlantik- und Pazifikküste gezogen, da diese aufgrund ihrer unterschiedlichen Kolonialgeschichte kulturelle Besonderheiten aufweisen

    Abstract: »Postkoloniale Traditionen« verbindet die Ansätze der postkolonialen Theorie und der Subaltern Studies mit einer modernen Ethnografie des ländlichen Südindiens. Dabei wird ein südindisches Dorf als ein Ort der Realisierung einer alternativen nicht-westlichen Moderne beschrieben. Zwei Merkmale der indischen Moderne werden herausgearbeitet: ihre Postkolonialität - das allgegenwärtige Erbe des Kolonialismus - und ihre Traditionalität - ihre Verhandlung in nicht-westlichen Idiomen. Die postkoloniale Moderne wird in dieser Dorfmonografie auf mikro- und infrapolitische Prozesse bezogen und somit einer ethnografischen Repräsentation zugänglich gemacht

    Abstract: What should or could cultural studies look like in the 21st Century? New Cultural Studies is both an introductory reference work and an original study which explores some of the most exciting new directions currently being opened up in cultural studies. A new generation has begun to emerge from the shadow of the Birmingham School: a generation who have turned to theory as a means to think through some of the crucial problems and issues in contemporary culture.

It also offers an alternative to Postcolonial Studies. This book is the first to provide an accessible overview of the critical trends in Diaspora criticism and to critically evaluate the major Diaspora critics and their models, with the aim of adding to the debate on methodology. This authoritative account will be of interest to those working in Diaspora Studies and its rel

    Abstract: Drawing on two decades of research this social and political history of North-Western Ghana traces the creation of new ethnic and territorial boundaries, categories and forms of self-understanding, and represents a major contribution to debates on ethnicity, colonialism and the 'production of history'. It explores the creation and redefinition of ethnic distinctions and commonalities by African and European actors, showing that ethnicity's power derives from a contradiction: while ethnic identities purport to be non-negotiable, creating permanent bonds, stability and security, the boundaries of the communities created and the associated traits and practices are malleable and adaptable to specific interests and contexts.

    Abstract: Es ist eine irrige Vorstellung der Moderne, dass Spiel und Wissenschaft nichts miteinander zu tun hätten. Dieser Band stellt das Spiel als einen zentralen Agenten von Wissensproduktion und Wissenschaftskultur vor und zeigt damit, dass Erkenntnis konstitutiv auf Spiel angewiesen ist. Während die zumeist phänomenologisch oder psycho-soziologisch ausgerichtete Literatur zum Spiel aus der Beobachterperspektive operiert, geht die hier gebotene Darstellung von der performativen Haltung des Teilnehmers aus. Spiel wird so nachvollziehbar als eine Bewegung im Zwischen, als eine Begegnung, die spekulative Brücken zwischen dem Erkennenden selbst und den Objekten der Erkenntnis schlagen kann. Die Frage nach dem Verhältnis von Spiel und Erkenntnis führt daher ins Zentrum des modernen Selbstverständnisses.U.a. mit Beiträgen von Marcel Beyer, Hartmut Böhme, Karl Ludwig Pfeiffer, Hans Ulrich Reck und Christoph Wulf

    Abstract: This book addresses cross-cultural representations of ethnic minority peoples by dominant society 'outsiders' and indigenous self-representation in the context of the 'New Media Nation'. In doing so, it explores the role of language, culture, identity and media in liberation struggles and the emergence of new political entities, and opens up issues of colonial oppression to public debate. It is intended to help inform policy in a variety of settings. Grounded in current perspectives on diaspora and homeland and drawing on Alia's work on minorities, media and identity as well as Bull's work on Maori socio-cultural issues and criminalisation of minorities, this volume offers a comparative, international perspective on the experiences of a broad range of ethnic minority peoples. These include Inuit and First Nations people in Canada; Native Americans and African Americans in the United States; SÃŁmi in northern Europe; Maori in New Zealand; Aboriginal people in Australia and Roma in Ireland and Britain. Key Features Teaching and learning exercises accompany each chapter Includes recommendations for further reading, listening and viewing Contains a comprehensive list of ethnic minority media in the UK

    Abstract: Wie lässt sich enormes städtisches Wachstum, die rapide Veränderung der urbanen Lebenswelt erträglich gestalten? Wie kann die Stadt in einen lebenswerten Raum, Menschenkonglomerat in eine funktionstüchtige städtische Gemeinschaft verwandelt werden? Diese Fragen stellen sich heute ebenso wie in früheren Epochen. In den expandierenden Metropolen des 19. Jahrhunderts bestand eine Antwort in dem Versuch, das Land in die Stadt zu holen. Der Blick auf London, New York, Madrid und Barcelona verdeutlicht den international beobachtbaren Trend, die negativen Seiten des Wandels auszugleichen oder gar zu beseitigen. Gleichzeitig werden Parks in diesem Band als lebendige Elemente neu sich formierender »Stadtlandschaften« und Stadtgesellschaften dargestellt
