    Abstract: The special issue of the Swiss Journal of Sociocultural Anthropology "Anthropological knowledge and power relations" questions the way in which power relations condition research - including from an intersectional perspective that considers, among other things, the interweaving of systems of gender, class, race, validism and age. It brings together work that shows how individuals question, accept, and/or subvert hierarchical relations within the processes of scientific fabrication. In this perspective, the introduction presents some of the issues that went through the construction of the special issue, in order to question the criteria of selectivity of the publication processes.

    Abstract: Bringing together ethnographic case studies of industrial labor from different parts of the world, "Industrial Labor on the Margins of Capitalism" explores the increasing casualization of workforces and the weakening power of organized labor. This division owes much to state policies and is reflected in local understandings of class. By exploring this relationship, these essays question the claim that neoliberal ideology has become the new `commonsense` of our times and suggest various propositions about the conditions that create employment regimes based on flexible labor.

    Description / Table of Contents: As far too many intellectual histories and theoretical contributions from the `global South` remain under-explored, this volume works towards redressing such imbalance. Experienced authors, from the regions concerned, along different disciplinary lines, and with a focus on different historical timeframes, sketch out their perspectives of envisaged transformations. This includes specific case studies and reflexive accounts from African, South Asian, and Middle Eastern contexts. Taking a critical stance on the ongoing dominance of Eurocentrism in academia, the authors present their contributions in relation to current decolonial challenges.Hereby, they consider intellectual, practical and structural aspects and dimensions, to mark and build their respective positions. From their particular vantage points of (trans)disciplinary and transregional engagement, they sketch out potential pathways for addressing the unfinished business of conceptual decolonization. The specific individual positionalities of the contributors, which are shaped by location and regional perspective as much as in disciplinary, biographical, linguistic, religious, and other terms, are hereby kept in view. Drawing on their significant experiences and insights gained in both the global north and global south, the contributors offer original and innovative models of engagement and theorizing frames that seek to restore and critically engage with intellectual practices from particular regions and transregional contexts in Africa, South Asia, and the Middle East.This volume builds on a lecture series held at ZMO in the winter 2019-2020.

    Keywords: Kunst Edelstein ; Steinbearbeitung ; Schmuck ; Ausstellung ; Bildband ; Idar-Oberstein
    Abstract: Das Design Lab #11 entsteht in Kooperation mit dem Campus Idar-Oberstein der Hochschule Trier. Als eines der bedeutendsten Zentren für Edelstein in Europa bildet Idar-Oberstein einen zentralen Knotenpunkt in einem weltweiten Netzwerk von Steinhandel und Steinbearbeitung. Hier kommen Studierende aus aller Welt zusammen, um sich mit dieser Materie künstlerisch und gestalterisch auseinanderzusetzen. Für das "Design Lab #11. LithoMania" sind sie eingeladen, Edelsteine über die Schmuckgestaltung hinausgehend in ihrer komplexen Ambivalenz zu untersuchen.Steinsammlungen, kleine Skulpturen, Juwelen aus kostbaren Steinen faszinieren Menschen, lösen Sehnsüchte aus. Gier und kriminelle Handlungen leiten sich daraus ab. Ihr Abbau zerstört Landschaften, ist Anlass für blutige Konflikte. Andererseits führen Handel und Verarbeitung von Steinen seit Jahrtausenden Menschen aus den entlegensten Regionen der Welt zusammen und sind Anlass für Austausch und Innovation. Die Identität einer sozialen Gemeinschaft kann sich an einzelnen, besonderen Steinen verankern. Sie gelten als heilig oder sind Teil von Objekten, welche in identitätskonstituierenden Riten von Bedeutung sind. Waren Edelsteine früher nur wenigen zugänglich, sind sie heute leicht konsumierbare Massenprodukte geworden. Trotzdem ermöglichen die Eigenschaften der Steine - ihre Musterung, Farbigkeit, Härte - über die sinnliche Wahrnehmung einen symbolischen Zugang zu dem Material, zu einer Ideen- und Vorstellungswelt, die oftmals eine tiefe emotionale Bindung hervorruft.

    Abstract: Flussdeltas kennen wir meist aus der Vogelperspektive: als faszinierende Luftbilder von verästelten Flussarmen oder als beunruhigende Landkarten, die vom Klimawandel bedrohte Landschaften zeigen. Dieser Bildband dreht die Perspektive um: Wir begegnen den Bewohner:innen von Deltas in Brasilien, Kanada, Myanmar und Senegal auf Augenhöhe. Wir erfahren von ihrem täglichen Leben, ihren Sorgen, Hoffnungen und den Herausforderungen, denen sie begegnen, sowie ihrem Erfindungsreichtum. Anhand zahlreicher Bilder und kurzer Texte wird gezeigt, dass das Leben dieser Menschen nicht nur von abstrakten Prozessen wie Klimawandel, Wirtschaftskrisen und Bevölkerungswachstum bestimmt ist. Vielmehr sind diese Prozesse Teil von anderen - und oft wichtigeren - Dynamiken in den Deltas. Basierend auf ihren ethnographischen Forschungen erzählen die Autor:innen, wie sich koloniale Schatten, unstetes Terrain und flexible Traditionen im Alltag der Menschen widerspiegeln. Das Buch gewährt Einblick in die verschiedenen - aber oft auch ganz ähnlichen - Formen von Zusammenleben in Flussdeltas.

    Abstract: "In Making Women Pay, Smitha Radhakrishnan explores India's microfinance industry, which in the last two decades has come to saturate the everyday lives of women in the name of state-led efforts to promote financial inclusion and women's empowerment. Despite this favorable language, she argues, microfinance in India does not provide a market-oriented development intervention, even though it may appear to help women borrowers. Rather, this commercial industry seeks to extract the maximum value from its customers through exploitative relationships that benefit especially class-privileged men. Through ethnography, interviews, and historical analysis, Radhakrishnan demonstrates how the unpaid and underpaid labor of marginalized women borrowers ensures both profitability and symbolic legitimacy for microfinance institutions, their employees, and their leaders. In doing so, she centralizes gender in the study of microfinance, reveals why most microfinance programs target women, and explores the exploitative implications of this targeting."

    Abstract: Elfenbein fasziniert. Bereits vor 40.000 Jahren schufen Menschen aus den Stoßzähnen des Mammuts kunstvolle figürliche Darstellungen und Musikinstrumente, und die Beliebtheit des Materials hält bis heute an.Elfenbein polarisiert. Denn zugleich stehen die Stoßzähne der Tiere für Unrecht und Gewalt: Die Ausbeutung von Mensch und Natur, die drohende Ausrottung der Elefanten, Wilderei und organisierte Kriminalität sind Phänomene, die sich mit Elfenbein verbinden. Dieses Buch nähert sich dem Thema kritisch. Es beschreibt die historischen Bedeutungen des Materials und stellt die Frage nach unserer Verantwortung im Umgang mit Tier und im Umgang mit Geschichte.

    Abstract: This collection considers academic research engagements with indigenous, small peasant, urban poor and labour social activism against colonial capitalist dispossession and exploitation in Asia and the Americas. Bringing together contributors from a range of different disciplines, Research, Political Engagement and Dispossession demonstrates how research done for and with these struggles against dispossession by mining, agribusiness plantations, conversation schemes, land-forest grabs, water projects, industrial disasters and the exploitation of workers and forced migrants, can make productive contributions towards advancing their social and political prospects.

    Abstract: Landscapes bear traces of the use of resources over long periods. These reflect not only ways of using, shaping, organising, controlling and exchanging resources, but also knowledge, perceptions, motivations for actions and related social dynamics. Resources can be material as well as immaterial and constitute the basis for the development and decline of societies. They are usually not exploited in isolation, but as parts of complexes whose specific constellation in time and space can be best described as assemblages. This topic was the subject of the session `Human-Made Environments: The Development of Landscapes as Resource Assemblages` held at the 24th Annual Meeting of the European Association of Archaeologists (Barcelona, 5-8 September 2018) and forms the basis of this volume. The general purpose is a debate on new concepts of the interrelation of social dynamics and resource use and a discussion of case studies in which landscapes were shaped to facilitate the utilisation of resources. The identification of what has been considered to be a resource is discussed as well as the means through which the corresponding landscapes were transformed and the results of these transformations. This implies not only material, but also spiritual aspects linked to the exploitation of resources. Since ResourceAssemblages are products of historical evolution and mutual relations the mechanisms of these processes are of great significance. Supreme aspects comprise the detection of a conscious human formation of landscapes in order to suit the exploitation of resources, the connected social practices as well as socio-cultural dynamics linked to the use of resources.

    Abstract: Development Zones in Asian Borderlands maps the nexus between global capital flows, national economic policies, infrastructural connectivity, migration, and aspirations for modernity in the borderlands of South and South-East Asia. In doing so, it demonstrates how these are transforming borderlands from remote, peripheral backyards to front-yards of economic development and state-building. Development zones encapsulate the networks, institutions, politics and processes specific to enclave development, and offer a new analytical framework for thinking about borderlands; namely, as sites of capital accumulation, territorialisation and socio-spatial changes.

    Abstract: Ein Museumsdepot ist vergleichbar mit dem Herz eines Organismus. Seine Betrachtung gewährt Einblicke, die in einer Ausstellung nicht vermittelbar sind. Dies gilt für Museen der Völkerkunde in besonderem Maße. Zu Tausenden werden hier Objekte in Sammlungen zusammengefasst, betitelt, digitalisiert, versteckt oder wiederentdeckt.Die Berliner Künstlerin Anja Nitz (*1971) setzt sich in ihrer Fotoarbeit mit der Kultur des Sammelns auseinander. Durch ihren Blick verschwimmen die Grenzen zwischen den Sammlungsbeständen und den Arbeitswelten der Museumslager. Sammlungsobjekte treten am Ort ihrer Aufbewahrung und in der Verkleidung ihrer Verpackung ins Bild. Für die aktuelle Debatte um den Umgang mit dem kolonialen Erbe werden diese Fotografien zu Zeugen und ermöglichen einen transparenten Zugang zu den gegenwärtigen Depot- und Sammlungssituationen der Museen für Völkerkunde in Leipzig, Dresden und Herrnhut.

    Abstract: This book presents case studies of the SFB 1070 ResourceCultures, which use an extended resource definition. Resources are analysed as contingent means to construct, sustain and alter social relations, units and identities. Accordingly, resources are seen as means of social practices of actors that depend on cultural and social appropriation and valuation. They constitute ResourceCultures. The contributions cover the topics of cross-sectional working groups and conferences that shaped the interdisciplinary collaboration on cultural, spatial and temporal dimensions of resources and ResourceCultures.

    Abstract: This paper critically evaluates the corpus of writings by Peter van der Veer, a Dutch anthropologist described by Dipesh Chakrabarty (unichicago.edu 2019) as "one of the foremost scholars in comparative studies of religion, nationalism, and urban life in Asia," and "a globally recognized theorist of comparative studies." In the first part of this paper, which consists of three parts, I will dwell on van der Veer`s early works from 1985 to 1994. Here, I discuss his contributions to the studies of Hinduism, orientalism and nationalism. In part two of the paper, I analyze his works during the second phase from 1995 to the present. Though diverse, I have arranged the analysis of these works under the overarch ing category of comparison. The final brief section identifies the style and mode of van der Veer`s interventions the sine qua non of which I call, after Nietzsche, theorization with a hammer. In conclusion, I highlight themes and questions, which van der Veer`s works do not squarely address but gainfully enable future research. (Abstract)

    Abstract: This volume proposes an alternative development paradigm to the existing capitalist extant one, and studies how it is distinctly different from the older system. Rooted in the principles of solidarity between humans, as well as between humans and nature, this alternative paradigm replaces the methodological individualism of capitalism by `reciprocal altruism`, a new logic of capital, to give pace and direction to the development process.The essays in this volume highlight instances of various forms of solidarity that have emerged in the contemporary world—such as resistance movements of informal workers, the formation of an autonomous cooperative of self-employed waste pickers in India, called SWaCH, and Brazil and Cuba`s experiments with Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE)—to achieve long sustaining cohesive development. They also provide recommendations as to how the State can mold its development process to the benefit of marginalized communities, especially in India and Bangladesh.Featuring insights from leading experts in the field, Theorizing Cohesive Development will be an indispensable read for students and researchers of development studies, economics, political economy, political science and sociology, minority studies and Asian studies.

    Abstract: Die Demokratische Republik Kongo ist heute weltberühmt für ihre vibrierende Kunstszene. Nirgendwo sind in Afrika ist das künstlerische Schaffen so vielfältig, kreativ und am Puls der Zeit. Doch auch in der Vergangenheit entstanden eindrucksvolle Masken, Figuren und Designstücke. Der zur Ausstellung im Museum Rietberg erscheinende, reich illustrierte Band Fiktion Kongo zeigt teils bisher unveröffentlichte Objekte, Fotografien und Dokumente aus dem Archiv des deutschen Kunstethnologen Hans Himmelheber, der in den Jahren 1938/39 den Kongo als Sammler und Forscher bereist hat. Die Kunstwerke und Bilder zeugen von der Gestaltungskraft der damaligen Zeit. Fiktion Kongo vermeidet den einseitigen westlichen Blick auf die Kunst des Kongo, indem sich zeitgenössische kongolesische Künstlerinnen und Künstler mit den Archiv von Hans Himmelheber auseinandersetzen. Ihre dabei entstandenen, kritischen Beiträge thematisieren die Auswirkungen von Kolonialzeit, Welthandel und Kunstmarkt und verbinden die Geschichte und Gegenwart des kongolesischen Kunstschaffens auf neue Art und Weise.

    Abstract: Getrieben von dem Ehrgeiz, das gesamte Wissen der Menschheit in einem einzigen Raum zusammenzuführen, bestückten Sammler ihre Wunderkammern mit allen möglichen Gegenständen künstlerischer, wissenschaftlicher und intellektueller Art und bildeten damit zugleich den Ausgangspunkt moderner Wissenschaft.Den toskanischen Großherzog Francesco I. de' Medici, den Kaiser des Heiligen Römischen Reiches, Rudolf II. sowie Erzherzog Ferdinand II. aus dem Hause Habsburg zeichnete eine wahre Sammelleidenschaft aus, für die sie ein Vermögen ausgaben, um dann ihre Sammlungen als dreidimensionale Kataloge zu präsentieren, die die ganze Welt enthalten sollten: Architektur, Inneneinrichtung, Malerei, Bildhauerkunst, Gemmologie, Geologie, Botanik, Biologie und Taxonomie, Astrologie, Alchemie, Anthropologie, Ethnografie und Geschichte.Staunen Sie über die "echten" Hörner des Einhorns (Narwal-Stoßzähne), über Edelsteine, seltene Korallen, Glas aus Murano, Gemälde sowie verblüffende mechanische Automaten. Blättern Sie durch Abbildungen exotischer und mythischer Wesen und entdecken die berühmten "Coburg Elfenbein-Schnitzereien", eine großartige Auswahl erlesenen Kunsthandwerks. Die Sammlungen führen Sie weit zurück, bis in die Renaissance und von da aus über die Ära der Entdeckungen, Epochen wie Manierismus und Barock bis in die Gegenwart. Viele der ehemaligen Sammlungen existieren längst nicht mehr, wurden aber so sorgfältig rekonstruiert oder neu eingerichtet, das ihr einstiger Zauber erhalten blieb.

    Abstract: This collection of essays presents the very latest research on the peace-building dimension of sacred and secular journeys at individual, societal, regional and global levels. Not since the 1980s has there been any concerted effort to explore the potential of such journeys in helping to bridge the divide that separates people of diverse ethnicities, religions and cultures. This volume gathers together empirical studies, regional analyses, and personal reflections from four continents and twelve countries, including Sri Lanka, Syria, Ethiopia, and Indonesia, which highlight the potential of religious tourism and pilgrimage for promoting interfaith solidarity, natural dialoguie and inner peace. It will be of interest to religion, tourism and peace scholars, as well as to political scientists and anthropologists. (Umschlagtext)

    Abstract: Turning the attention to the temporal as well as the more familiar spatial dimensions of mobility, this volume focuses on the momentum for and temporal composition of mobility, the rate at which people enact or deploy their movements as well as the conditions under which these moves are being marshalled, represented and contested. This is an anthropological exploration of temporality as a form of action, a process of actively modulating or responding to how people are moving rather than the more usual focus in mobility studies on where they are heading.

    Abstract: In den Jahren 1971/72 waren in Mitteleuropa und Südasien zwei gegenläufige Bewegungen zu beobachten. Während die deutsch-deutsche Entspannungspolitik den Ost-West-Konflikt zu überwinden suchte, entspann sich zwischen den beiden Nachfolgestaaten Britisch-Indiens ein Krieg, der zur Teilung Pakistans und Gründung Bangladeschs führen sollte. Indien unterstützte die bengalische Unabhängigkeitsbewegung gegen die pakistanische Zentralregierung.Entscheidend sind hierbei die unterschiedlichen Block-Allianzen der jeweils agierenden Nationalstaaten: Waren Bundesrepublik und DDR ihre Loyalitäten im Kalten Krieg recht klar, so blieben sie im bündnisfreien Indien bewusst weitaus unklarer. Dennoch war mit Abschluss des Indisch-Sowjetischen Freundschaftsvertrages im August 1971 eine (vor allem sicherheitspolitische) Annäherung der indischen Regierung an die UdSSR zu beobachten, derweil Pakistan schon früher zu einem wichtigen strategischen Partner der USA auf dem Subkontinent avanciert war.Ausgehend von der Hypothese, dass für Bundesrepublik und DDR Anfang der 1970er Jahre die Auseinandersetzung miteinander ihre Loyalitäten im Kalten Krieg überwog, untersucht die vorliegende Arbeit die Haltung der beiden deutschen Staaten im Bangladeschkrieg.

    Abstract: Sprechen Bengalinnen und Bengalen von Kalkutta, tun sie's mit leuchtenden Augen; für sie ist die Stadt die unangefochtene Kulturhauptstadt Indiens. Im Westen allerdings hatte Kalkutta den Ruf eines schwarzen Lochs, einer Kloake; für Reiseschriftsteller des 20. Jahrhunderts war die Metropole - so der Historiker Jeffrey N. Dupée - die "exemplarische urbane Horrorstory".Zwischen Selbstwahrnehmung und Aussensicht klafft eine Lücke, welche der Forograf Samuel Schütz und der Klangdokumentarist Thomas Kaiser bei zahlreichen Aufenthalten in Kalkutta ausloteten.Schütz fotografierte mit einer Lochkamera Schritt für Schritt Strassenzüge, Kreuzungen, Werkstätten und die Fährstelle beim alten Kali-Tempel in Kalighat, während Kaiser Bewohnerinnen und Bewohner der Stadt nach ihren Träumen und Lebensgeschichten befragte.

    Abstract: This groundbreaking volume examines the extraordinary artistic and cultural traditions of the African region known as the Sahel ("shore" in Arabic), a vast area on the southern edge of the Sahara Desert that includes present-day Senegal, Mauritania, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, and Chad. This is the first book to present a comprehensive overview of the diverse cultural achievements and traditions of the region, spanning more than 1,300 years from the pre-Islamic period through the 19th century. It features some of the earliest extant art from Africa as well as such iconic works as sculptures by the Dogon and Bamana peoples of Mali. Essays by leading international scholars discuss the art, architecture, archaeology, literature, philosophy, religion, and history of the Sahel, exploring the unique cultural landscape in which these ancient communities flourished. Richly illustrated and brilliantly argued, Sahel brings to life the enduring creativity of the different peoples who lived, traded, and traveled through this crossroads of the world. (Klappentext)

    Abstract: "The book aims at studying processes of religious change in India. The focus lies neither on any particular religious tradition, nor is it the aim to provide an encyclopaedic overview of conversion in different religious traditions. Instead, the studies presented here investigate the different modalities of religious change across and within religious traditions. In order to understand the different patterns involved, diverse cases are scrutinised. The cases are diverse in different ways. First, they discuss different religious traditions (Hindu traditions and sects, Christianity, Islam and indigenous religions). Second, they cover most regions of India. Third, the chapters discuss historical as well as contemporary examples. Finally, the different cases involve micro, meso and macro dynamics of religious change in different ways, dealing with large-scale political processes of colonialism and nationalism, dimensions of social structure in relation to conversion and subjective meanings of and motives for conversion. In this way, the book seeks to do justice to the complexity of the phenomenon under study, a complexity that is also reflected in the multivalence and multidirectionality of the trope of Godroads, which is introduced here as a heuristic metaphor. Studying modalities of conversion means for the authors of this volume to identify patterns of the processes studied. To this aim, the comprehensive introduction provides, next to an overview of the relevant literature, a thorough discussion of theoretical approaches that attend in particular to structures in these (sudden or continuous) dynamics of religious change. The afterword by the Brazilian anthropologist Aparecida Vilaça, a specialist on conversion in the Amazon region, extends the comparative scope beyond India"--

    Abstract: Dalit Feminist Theory: A Reader radically redefines feminism by introducing the category of Dalit into the core of feminist thought. It supplements feminism by adding caste to its study and praxis; it also re-examines and rethinks Indian feminism by replacing it with a new paradigm, namely, that caste-based feminist inquiry offers the only theoretical vantage point for comprehensively addressing gender-based injustices. Drawing on a variety of disciplines, the chapters in the volume discuss key themes such as Indian feminism versus Dalit feminism; the emerging concept of Dalit patriarchy; the predecessors of Dalit feminism, such as Phule and Ambedkar; the meaning and value of lived experience; the concept of Difference; the analogical relationship between Black feminism and Dalit feminism; the intersectionality debate; and the theory-versus-experience debate. They also provide a conceptual, historical, empirical and philosophical understanding of feminism in India today.Accessible, essential and ingenious in its approach, this book is for students, teachers and specialist scholars, as well as activists and the interested general reader. It will be indispensable for those engaged in gender studies, women's studies, sociology of caste, political science and political theory, philosophy and feminism, Ambedkar studies, and for anyone working in the areas of caste, class or gender-based discrimination, exclusion and inequality.

    Abstract: Even justice -- The cynicism of power -- "I am the people" -- Afterword: the optimism of the intellect
    Abstract: "The forms of liberal government that emerged after World War II are in the midst of a profound crisis. In I Am the People, Partha Chatterjee reconsiders the concept of popular sovereignty in order to explain today's dramatic outburst of movements claiming to speak for "the people." To uncover the roots of populism, Chatterjee traces the twentieth-century trajectory of the welfare state and neoliberal reforms. Mobilizing ideals of popular sovereignty and the emotional appeal of nationalism, anticolonial movements ushered in a world of nation-states while liberal democracies in Europe guaranteed social rights to their citizens. But as neoliberal techniques shrank the scope of government, politics gave way to technical administration by experts. Once the state could no longer claim an emotional bond with the people, the ruling bloc lost the consent of the governed. To fill the void, a proliferation of populist leaders have mobilized disaffected groups into a battle that they define as the authentic people against entrenched oligarchy. Once politics enters a spiral of competitive populism, Chatterjee cautions, there is no easy return to pristine liberalism. Only a counter-hegemonic social force that challenges global capital and facilitates the equal participation of all peoples in democratic governance can achieve significant transformation. Drawing on thinkers such as Antonio Gramsci, Michel Foucault, and Ernesto Laclau and with a particular focus on the history of populism in India, I Am the People is a sweeping, theoretically rich account of the origins of today's tempests

    Abstract: "Observance of what people in present-day India eat and do not eat, the styles and contexts within which they do so, and the disparities between rhetoric and everyday action prompt vital questions concerning what it is to be Indian in the early twenty-first century. The current "beef situation" exposes, like no other issue, the central fault lines that run across contemporary Indian society. Sacred Cows and Chicken Manchurian explores contemporary cattle slaughter and beef-eating in India and considers what has led to the apparent turn away from the hitherto secularist approach of post-independence India. The book draws on ethnographic research in both rural and urban South India with domestic cattle owners, brokers, butchers, and meat eaters. It brings nuance to existing accounts by journalists, historians, and others by charting how ordinary people navigate the current febrile political climate in their everyday lives. In doing so, it avoids an overly simplistic binary opposition between those who oppose the slaughter of cattle and those who view beef consumption as a fundamental right. Locating debates and actions concerning beef eating in relation to caste and community, the book offers a fine-grained exploration of the current situation as it is experienced on the ground, comprehensively locating it within the wider anthropology of food and eating in the region"--

    Abstract: Postdevelopment in Practice critically engages with recent trends in postdevelopment and critical development studies that have destabilised the concept of development, challenging its assumptions and exposing areas where it has failed in its objectives, whilst also pushing beyond theory to uncover alternatives in practice.This book reflects a rich and diverse range of experience in postdevelopment work, bringing together emerging and established contributors from across Latin America, South Asia, Europe, Australia and elsewhere, and it brings to light the multiple and innovative examples of postdevelopment practice already underway. The complexity of postdevelopment alternatives are revealed throughout the chapters, encompassing research on economy and care, art and design, pluriversality and buen vivir, the state and social movements, among others. Drawing on feminisms and political economy, postcolonial theory and critical design studies, the `diverse economies` and `world of the third` approaches and discussions on ontology and interdisciplinary fields such as science and technology studies, the chapters reveal how the practice of postdevelopment is already being carried out by actors in and out of development.Students, scholars and practitioners in critical development studies and those seeking to engage with postdevelopment will find this book an important guide to applying theory to practice.

    Abstract: This collection of essays proposes a critical, comparative framework for the study of modern foodways, both inside and outside of Asia, through the crucial lens of culinary nationalism. With culinary nationalism defined as a process in flux, opposed to the limited concept of national cuisine, the contributors of this book call for explicit critical comparisons of cases of culinary nationalism within regions, with the intention of recognizing regional patterns of modern culinary development. As a result, the formation of modern cuisine is revealed to be a process that takes place around the world, in different forms and periods, and not exclusive to current Eurocentric models. The book, which includes a foreword from Krishnendu Ray and a preface from James Watson, sets out a fresh agenda for thinking about future food studies scholarship. Key themes considered include: gender; cooking and consumption; the cultivation of taste and authority; the reinterpretation of culinary traditions; inter/national cuisines; hunger, violence, nation; and Asia as culinary imaginary.

    Abstract: During the first four decades of the twentieth century, the British Indian Army possessed an illusion of racial and religious inclusivity. The army recruited diverse soldiers, known as the "Martial Races," including British Christians, Hindustani Muslims, Punjabi Sikhs, Hindu Rajputs, Pathans from northwestern India, and "Gurkhas" from Nepal. As anti-colonial activism intensified, military officials incorporated some soldiers' religious traditions into the army to keep them disciplined and loyal. They facilitated acts such as the fast of Ramadan for Muslim soldiers and allowed religious swords among Sikhs to recruit men from communities where anti-colonial sentiment grew stronger. Consequently, Indian nationalists and anti-colonial activists charged the army with fomenting racial and religious divisions. In Faithful Fighters, Kate Imy explores how military culture created unintended dialogues between soldiers and civilians, including Hindu nationalists, Sikh revivalists, and pan-Islamic activists. By the 1920s and '30s, the army constructed military schools and academies to isolate soldiers from anti-colonial activism. While this carefully managed military segregation crumbled under the pressure of the Second World War, Imy argues that the army militarized racial and religious difference, creating lasting legacies for the violent partition and independence of India, and the endemic warfare and violence of the post-colonial world. --- provided by the publisher

    Abstract: Travelling Pasts, edited by Burkhard Schnepel and Tansen Sen, offers an innovative exploration of the issue of heritage in the Indian Ocean world. This collection of essays demonstrates how the heritagization of the past has played a vital role in processes and strategies related to the making of socio-cultural identities, the establishing of political legitimacies, and the pursuit of economic and geopolitical gains. The contributions range from those dealing with the impact of UNESCO's World Heritage Convention in the Indian Ocean world as a whole to those that address the politics of cultural heritage in various distinct maritime sites such as Zanzibar, Mayotte, Cape Town, the Maldives, Calcutta and Penang. Also examined are the Maritime Silk Road and the Project Mausam initiatives of the Chinese and Indian governments respectively. The volume is an important contribution to the fields of Indian Ocean Studies and Heritage Studies. (Umschlagtext)

    Abstract: The We, whose name means "men who easily forgive," live in the forests along the western border of the Ivory Coast. The family unit plays an important role in We social life. Each is led by a patriarch revered for his wisdom and wealth, who supervises the clan`s life, organizing weddings, settling disputes, and influencing religious life.Long known by other names, (Guere, Wobe, Kran), the We live on either side of the border between Liberia and the Ivory Coast and as a result they are considered "peripheral" inhabitants in both countries. Theirs is regarded as a mask culture, as opposed to other societies that have none (such as the Ashanti in Ghana).The bold, striking sculpture on these masks ensured they would be among the first examples of African art to captivate Cubist artists in the West. So it comes as no surprise that Kahnweiler, Picasso`s famous dealer, used to say that the artist owned a Wobe mask and that it was the close analysis of this object that led Picasso to experiment with innovative techniques in his own work.These eye-opening, exuberant, phantasmagorical masks are astonishingly diverse and display a dazzling compositional inventiveness. They clearly also influenced the art of neighbouring peoples, to the extent that, far from being isolated in a remote corner of the jungle, this art has been identified as the keystone, the pivot around which all the art of the area revolves—giving the lie to the notion that the lines drawn on maps by colonisers have any effect on the process of artistic creation. To which should be added a further crucial point: it is no exaggeration to speak of a mask culture, so abundant are they in each village, with a part to play in all community activities (legal, mystical, agricultural . . . ) and a role in all the stages of life. The nature of this dynamic, mobile art is completely different from the art of other peoples, where form suggests meaning and reveals the impact and the type of ceremony it is associated with; in the case of the We masks, form is never an indicator of category.

    Abstract: About 150 years ago L. H. Morgan compared relationship terminologies, societal forms, and ideas of property to recognize the interdependence of the three domains. From a new perspective, the book will re-examine, confirm and criticize, Morgan`s findings to conclude that reciprocal affinal relations determine most `classificatory` terminologies and regulate many non-state societies, their property notions, and their rituals. Apart from references to American and Australian features, such holistic socio-cultural constructs will be exemplified by elaborate descriptions of little-known contemporary indigenous societies in highland Middle India, altogether comprising many millions of members.

    Abstract: This issue of kritisk etnografi - Swedisch Journal of Anthropology focuses on ethnographies of the municipality, the district, or the local government. The purpose is to contribute to informed analyses of the conditions and articulations of local politics from different parts of the world. The issue includes ethnographic case-studies on themes like the marketspace of party politics (Ghana), diaspora politics and local development (Mali, Tibet/India), urban development and land speculation (Uganda, Niger), decentralised policy reforms (Indonesia, Bolivia), tourism industry and local politics (Philippines), and political failure (Burkina Faso). A common thread of all the contributions is the ethngraphic analysis of how "democratic decentralisation" articulates meaning in different contexts and countries across the world. Comparing discourses, debates and practices beween municipalities puts the searchlight on the interaction of actors and institutions, including administrative procedures, traditional and religious authorities, representatives of marginalised groups, developmenmt actors, political parties, and social and political brokers.

    Abstract: On the 100th anniversary of women's voting rights in Czechoslovakia. In Her Own Voice seeks to commemorate more than a hundred and fifty years of the struggle for women's emancipation in the Czech lands. The exhibition demonstrates the historical meanings and limits of women's emancipation in the particular stories of well-konwn, and also less well-known women of different nationalities, from different social backgrounds and living at different times. Together these women "narrate" the story of women's emancipation as one of overcoming the barriers that limit the human potential of women. (Klappentext)

    Abstract: According to archaeologists rice was first domesticated in the basin of Yangtze River in China about 9000 years BP. Subsequently, its cultivation started in Southeast Asia and the Indian subcontinent. From China, its cultivation spread to Korea and Japan. From India, it spread to West Asia, Europe and Africa and then to the New World. There is a c`ousin' of rice that was domesticated in the Inner Delta of Niger River in West Africa about 3000 years ago but this has remained confined to tropical West Africa only. During the last nine millennia or so, man has improved the plant, increased its productivity and has found various uses of its parts. But, more than that, the plant has changed the life of people. Man, who was a hunter-gatherer before its domestication, adopted a sedentary life, built civilizations and created myths, ceremonies and rituals associated with this crop especially in the eastern, southeastern and southern regions of Asia.The story of rice differs from region to region and has been different in different periods of time. There was a time when tax was collected in the form of rice in Japan, the Southeast Asian Kingdoms created hydraulic feats for its cultivation and Ottoman armies advanced with rice as their ration. In recent years, there have been riots due to scarcity of rice and also international efforts to produce enough rice to avoid hunger. The book provides an interesting reading of all such events in the course of its 9000 years long history. (Umschlagtext)

    Abstract: These feminist scholars bridge preexisting divides between bio-psychological, sociological, and cultural perspectives to explain the ways that women's desires, goals, and identities interact with culturally situated systems in order to develop more complex theories about the psychological underpinnings of patriarchy and to inform more socially progressive policies to improve the lives of women and men globally.

    Abstract: Seit spätestens dem 9. Jahrhundert war die chinesische Provinz Zhejiang bekannt für ihre erlesenen Seladon-Porzellane mit den wunderbaren, in ihren vielfältigen Qing-Grünschattierungen schimmernden Oberflächen. Seine Blütezeit erlebte das chinesische Seladon vom 11. bis 14. Jahrhundert, als es Eingang in die kaiserlichen Sammlungen fand und weltweit exportiert wurde. Danach erfolgte der Niedergang des Handwerks, das bis Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts fast in Vergessenheit geriet. Erst in den 1950er-Jahren konnte es erfolgreich wiederbelebt werden. Mit dem marktwirtschaftlichen Wandel in den 1990er-Jahren mussten sich die Porzellanhandwerker neu orientieren, konnten sich jedoch bis heute, entsprechend dem Siegel UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe, als Lebende Staatsschätze und Meister mit ihren unübertroffenen Seladon-Glasuren erfolgreich positionieren. Die Publikation bietet spannende ethnologische Einblicke in die Kulturgeschichte, Technologie und Gesellschaftlichkeit der Seladonherstellung in der Keramikmetropole Longquan, VR China, bis heute.

    Keywords: Sexualität Ethnographie ; Griechenland ; Brasilien ; Singapur ; Amerika ; Südafrika ; Indien ; Gujarat ; Marokko ; Türkei ; Israel
    Abstract: Focusing on the unacknowledged, personal and often unconscious dimension, Sex explores the intersection between sex and ethnography. Anthropological writing tends to focus on the influence of status markers such as position, gender, ethnicity, and age on fieldwork. By contrast, far less attention has been paid to how sex, sexuality, eroticism, desire, attraction, and rejection affect ethnographic research.In the book, anthropologists reflect on their own encounters with sex during fieldwork, revealing how attraction and desire influence the choice of fieldwork subjects, field sites and friendships. They also examine the resulting impact on fieldwork findings and the generation of knowledge. Based on fieldwork in Germany, Denmark, Greece, the USA, Brazil, South Africa, Singapore, Turkey, Israel, Morocco, and India, the contributors go beyond the common heterosexuality/homosexuality divide to address topics which include celibacy, polyamory and sadomasochism. This long overdue text provides perspectives from a new generation of anthropologists and brings the debate into the 21st century. Examining challenging and controversial issues in contemporary fieldwork, this is essential reading for students in anthropology, gender and sexuality studies, sociology, research methods, and ethics courses.

    Abstract: This book examines the Kashmir dispute from both sides of the Line of Control (LoC) and within the theoretical frame of border studies. It draws on the experiences of those living in these territories such as divided families, traders, cultural and social activists. Kashmir is a borderland, that is, a context for spatial transformations, where the resulting interactions can be read as a process of "becoming" rather than of "being". The analysis of this borderland shows how the conflict is manifested in territory, in specific locations with a geopolitical meaning, evidencing the discrepancy between "representation" and the "living". The author puts forward the concept of belonging as a useful category for investigating more inclusive political spaces.

    Abstract: "Eurasia has assumed importance in the post-Soviet period and the peoples of Siberia have distinctive historico-cultural similarities with the Indian Himalayas due to common traditions and Buddhist culture. The Eurasianism of Russia brings it closer to India in historico-cultural, political and economic terms. Another important player in Eurasia is Kazakhstan, which has been highlighting the importance of Eurasianism. These relations provide an opportunity for India to engage in collaborative endeavours with the Eurasian countries. This book provides detailed analyses on the historico-cultural linkages between Eurasia (Buryatia, Khakassia ,Tuva and Altai Republics of Russian Fediferation) and India through history. It also examines the process of the revival of indigenous traditions in the region in the post-Soviet period, the importance of the Eurasian vector in Russian and Kazakhstan's foreign policy and the development of the Eurasian Economic Union and the implications this will have for India. Eminent academics and area specialists from Buryatia, Altai, Khakassia, Moscow, Kazakhstan and India have contributed to this book which provides a first hand view of the linkages between India and the Siberian region of India. Eurasia and India also includes rare photographs of the traces of Indian culture in Siberia. Offering a new undiferstanding of the significant and strategic Indian ties to Eurasian states, this book will be of interest to academics studying Eurasian and Central Asian society and geopolitics, International Relations and South and Central Asian Studies."--Provided by publisher.

    Keywords: Afrika, Subsahara Demokratische Republik Kongo ; Skulptur, traditionelle ; Kunst, afrikanische ; Magie ; Ausstellungskatalog ; Bildband ; Sammler und Sammlung ; Belgien
    Abstract: This book, which is being published to mark the opening of the museum, unveils an ensemble of 77 important works from the collection held by the Royal Museum for Central Africa. A range of academics, conservators, and experts on African art provides an examination and analysis of each of these pieces. Many of the works brought together here can be found in the gallery assigned to the temporary exhibition 'Unrivalled Art'. Others can be encountered in the rooms devoted to the permanent exhibition. And some of the works afford a glimpse behind the scenes at the RMCA, in the hushed atmosphere of the depots, about which the general public is largely unaware. Researcher and curator Julien Volper has selected pieces that come not only from the Congo, but also from other countries, such as Angola or Gabon. Sometimes they are physical testaments to lost cultures dating from the eighth to tenth century, or even dating to tens of thousands of years ago! However, most of the works belong to the more recent period of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. All of these masks, statuettes, ivories, weapons, receptacles and other artefacts express a genuine creativity - a creativity described so aptly in 1919 by the theorist Vladimir Markov: '[.] this [African] art is unrivalled anywhere else in the world.'

    Abstract: Anhand ausgewählter Bilder und Objekte diskutiert dieser Band zentrale Fragen zur Geschichte der Rassenkonstruktion und Rasseideologie. Gemeinsam mit Autorinnen und Autoren aus Forschung und Bildungspraxis beleuchtet das Kuratorenteam die geopolitische Dimension des Rassismus während des Kolonialismus und setzt sich mit der Rolle des Deutschen Hygiene-Museums in der NS-Rassenpropaganda auseinander. Im Kontext aktueller Fluchtbewegungen betrachten sie die Nachwirkungen des kolonialen Zeitalters und zeigen, welche Dynamik in einer sozial und kulturell vielfältigen Gesellschaft steckt.Im Zentrum vieler Beiträge steht die Frage, inwieweit die unbedachte Reproduktion rassistischer Bilder in Wissenschaft, Politik und Alltag - oder auch in Ausstellungen - zu ihrer anhaltenden Wirkungsmacht beiträgt? Wäre es nicht konsequent, solche Bilder gar nicht erst zu zeigen? Ab wann ist ein Gegenstand rassistisch? Trifft das bereits auf die Darstellung der körperlichen Unterschiede von Menschen zu? Gibt es ganz andere, noch nie gesehene Gegenbilder?

    Abstract: For South Asia, fashion and consumption have come to play an increasingly important role in the lives of young people and in the formation of youth cultures. Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka have all, in related and distinctive ways, been producing confident young fashion consumers, who are proving to be an important market for fashion.This book explores South Asian youth cultures and fashion across the countries of this region and their diasporas from a transnational perspective. Through visual and textual analysis of film, photography and digital cultures, as well as ethnographic fieldwork, the expert contributors look at how gender, sexuality, class, the media and faith intersect with and style youth cultures. By establishing the heterogeneous nature of South Asia and its youth cultures, they also dismantle grand western narratives that tend to understand the region's diverse cultural modernity through the lens of homogeneity.

    Abstract: The study of the quest for the good life and the morality and value it presupposes is not new. To the contrary, this is an ancient issue; its intellectual history can be traced back to Aristotle. In anthropology, the study of morality and value has always been a central concern, despite the claim of some scholars that the recent upsurge of interest in these issues is new. What is novel is how scholars in many disciplines are posing the value question in new ways. The global economic alignments of the present pose many political, moral and theoretical questions, but the central issue the essays in this collection address is: how do relatively poor people of the Australia-Pacific region survive in current precarious times? In looking to answer this question, contributors directly engage the values and concepts of their interlocutors. At a time when understanding local implications of global processes is taking on new urgency, these essays bring finely honed anthropological perspectives to matters of universal human concern--they offer radical empirical critique based on intensive fieldwork that will be of great interest to those seeking to comprehend the bigger picture.

    Keywords: Globalisierung Weltanschauung ; Ordnung, normative ; Beziehungen, internationale ; Indien
    Abstract: Theorizing international relations presupposes a conception of what the subject matter and its bounds are. We have to have some idea of the entity at the center of our theroizing - the "international" or the "global"; "relations", "systems" or "order", just to name a few.Although it is a central category in polical discours and in the discipline of international relations the concept of order remains surprisingly undertheorized. This volume offers different contemporary perspectives on theorizing global order. (Umschlagtext)Die Theoretisierung internationaler Beziehungen setzte immer schon ein Verständnis des Gegenstandsbereichs voraus, über den reflektiert wird - etwa das "Internationale" und "Globale" oder Kategorien wie "Beziehungen" und "System". Obwohl "Ordnung" eine zentrale Kategorie sowohl des politischen Diskurses als auch der Disziplin der Internationalen Beziehungen ist, wird das Konzept erstaunlich wenig theoretisiert. Dieser Band bietet divergierende zeitgenössische Perspektiven darauf, wie globale Ordnung theoretisch gefasst werden kann. (Verlagsangaben)

    Abstract: "Why is India so filthy?" This book draws on four years of research by an anthropologist and historian to tease out reasons for India's public-sanitation agonies. From the days of Mahatma Gandhi to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, India has struggled with garbage and human excrement. In the twenty-first century, the problems grow urgent as an urbanizing middle class expands, consumes, excretes and throws things away at increasing rates. In 2014, the new Modi government began to invest hundreds of millions of dollars in a Clean India! or Swachh Bharat! campaign to change habits, build toilets, purify water and tame domestic, industrial and medical waste. The authors argue that many of India's problems were shared by other countries over the past 150 years and that India can benefit from such experience and the science of the digital world. But two challenges are unique and formidable. First, the density of population is surpassed only by Bangladesh. India has less space in which to dump its huge volumes of waste than any major country in history, including China. The second obstacle lies in ideas and prejudices relating to caste. Some people are born into castes (once called "untouchables") that are still widely regarded as tainted by birth and associated with foul and demeaning tasks. Such attitudes reinforce NIMBY attitudes found throughout the world. India's diversity, however, means that throughout the country the efforts of women and men from waste-pickers to executives demonstrate exceptional achievements in dealing with waste, though they provide no single recipe for a Clean India.--

    Abstract: Living in the region between the Lubudi and Kasai rivers in south central Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Luluwa people are known for their elaborately carved male and female figure sculptures, masks, and decorative arts. Constantine Petridis draws on first-hand accounts of numerous explorers, missionaries, colonial servants, anthropologists, and art historians who visited the region between the 1880s and the 1970s, to comprehensively situate the Luluwa's ornate art in its original environment of production and use. Through a close study of published and unpublished sources as well as museum objects and archival photographs, this book sheds new light on the historical context of one of central Africa's most spectacular artistic legacies, whose creation presumably dates back to the second half of the 19th century

    Abstract: Presenting a wealth of fascinating details and new insights Raja Ampat Ritual Art discusses the social and cosmological background of the ancestor and spirit figurines from the archipelago.In the process it is shown how the demise and the exodus of the traditional art resulted from complex interactions between indigenous agency, conversion, cargo cult activity, modernization and, last but not least, interventions by administrators.The present publication includes a number of stunning, sacred-secret drawings depicting the spirit world, devised by indigenous priests to serve them in their rituals. Acquired during the 1930s, these drawings were long believed to be lost but have recently been rediscovered.

    Abstract: Wann, wie und durch wen wird Geschichte zu einer politischen Ressource? Welche Rolle spielen dabei Prozesse und Praktiken des Authentisierens historischer Ereignisse, Abläufe oder Persönlichkeiten? Und welche Ziele verfolgen die beteiligten Akteure? Gegenwärtig wird die Kontrolle über die Deutung von Vergangenheiten zu einem umstrittenen Gut im Kampf um politische Macht und ökonomische Ressourcen. Gerade in Krisenzeiten, aber auch angesichts konkurrierender medialer Einflüsse werden Behauptungen von Authentizität genutzt, um Ansprüche auf historische »Wahrheiten« oder »richtige« Erinnerungen durchzusetzen. Die Autorinnen und Autoren nehmen Transformationsprozesse und Krisensituationen in postkolonialen, postsozialistischen und postimperialen Gesellschaften in Europa, Asien und Afrika in den Blick und analysieren Prozesse des Authentisierens sowie konkurrierende Ansprüche auf Authentizität. Sie beleuchten Zusammen hänge zwischen Authentizitätsbehauptungen, historischen Erfahrungen und Machtansprüchen. Nicht die »Geschichte« oder die »Erinnerung« werden behandelt. Vielmehr ermöglicht der Blick auf die Verflochtenheit lokaler, nationaler und transnationaler Ebenen eine Analyse der Beziehungen zwischen Produktion und Rezeption historischer Authentizität.

    Abstract: On ne compte plus aujourd`hui les appels à repenser l`innovation. Il y aurait urgence écologique. Et certains n`hésitent pas à prédire la fin du monde à moins d`une rupture radicale de nos modèles de croissance. Alors que chaque nouvelle génération de téléphone ou d`ordinateur est célébrée comme si elle constituait un progrès décisif pour l`humanité, le low tech à l`inverse, cet ensemble hétérogène de techniques, de modes de composition alternatifs, définis tantôt négativement (pauvreté ou économie des moyens) tantôt positivement (faire beaucoup avec peu de choses, faire avec ce qu`on a, faire plus local et plus participatif, etc.), viendrait partout ébranler la toute puissance du high tech. Avec lui, ce ne sont pas seulement une autre lecture des techniques et d`autres façons de concevoir qui se donnent à voir, mais des populations entières d`hommes et de procédés, dont le rôle a bien souvent été sous-estimé, de l`Inde à l`Afrique en passant par l`Asie. L`objectif de ce numéro n`est pas de cataloguer les formes de résistance ou d`invention très diverses que recouvre l`étiquette de low tech, mais plutôt de poser les bases d`une cartographie alternative des modes d`assemblage à l`échelle planétaire, et de donner des outils pour mieux penser ces manières de fabriquer qui échappent à toute classification : la Wild Tech !

    Abstract: Focusing on a range of Eurasian conflicts, including Nagorno-Karabakh, South Ossetia and Abkhazia, this book offers contemporary perspectives on the ongoing conflicts in the Eurasia, with an emphasis on the attempts towards peace. The book brings into focus how various factors such as ethnicity, religion, border disputes, resources, and animosities inherited from the past play crucial role in these conflicts. It questions whether developments in Eurasia affect other conflicts across the globe, and if differences between parties can be resolved without pulling the relations beyond adjustable limits. The book goes on to look at how tricky the path to peace would be, and furthers the development of a framework of study of Eurasian conflicts in the post-Soviet world, while taking into account both internal and external variables in analyzing these conflicts. It is a useful contribution to Central Asian and Caucasian Politics and Security Studies.

    Abstract: South Asia is today the region inhabited by the largest number of Muslims--roughly 500 million. In the course of the Islamisation process begun in the eighth century, it developed a distinct Indo-Islamic civilisation that culminated in the Mughal Empire. While paying lip service to the power centres of Islam in the Gulf, including Mecca and Medina, this civilisation has cultivated its own variety of Islam, based on Sufism. Over the last fifty years, pan-Islamic ties have intensified between these two regions. Gathering together some of the best specialists on the subject, this volume explores these ideological, educational and spiritual networks, which have gained momentum due to political strategies, migration flows and increased communications. At stake are both the resilience of the civilisation that imbued South Asia with a specific identity, and the relations between Sunnis and Shias in a region where Saudi Arabia and Iran are fighting a cultural proxy war, as evident in the foreign ramifications of sectarianism in Pakistan. Islamic Connections investigates the nature and implications of the cultural, spiritual and socio-economic rapprochement between these two Islams.Review: 'The Indian Ocean, linking Arabia to South Asia, looms as the testcase for Muslim networks, yet the profile of Indo-Islamic civilization remains contested between Saudi Salafis, Pakistani Sufis and also Iranian Shi'ites. This pioneering volume provides a welcome transregional, comparative analysis of multiple case studies, at once historical and contemporary.' -- Bruce Bennett Lawrence 'Connections of trade, family, learning and faith have existed between South Asia and the Gulf for hundreds of years. This book focuses on their workings in the modern period with especial emphasis on Islam. It demonstrates the significant and complex interactions which take place across the region, some of which are of strategic potential.'

    Abstract: Seit dem Dino-Revival der 1980er und 90er boomt auch die Paläo-Art. Die Begeisterung für Saurier und der Wunsch, sich ein Bild von ihnen zu machen, sind aber viel älter. Zoë Lescaze und Walton Ford auf den Spuren einer Leidenschaft, die Kunst und Wissenschaft phantasmagorisch ineinanderblendet.

    Abstract: The 21st century era of globalization has opened up many investment alternatives for Africa. There is now a rush by governments and private companies to expand in the rapidly growing region, to the extent that we can begin to talk of a process of world-wide investment. Both traditionally powerful economies in the West and emerging powers such as China and India have contributed to a vast proliferation of investment, raising questions of what intense competition will mean for Africa's economic development. The Globalization of Foreign Investment in Africa: The Role of Europe, China, and India compares the differing approaches between Asian and European players in Africa, with a particular focus on the role of foreign direct investment (FDI) in the socio-economic, socio-political, and socio-cultural development of the region. First documenting the historical context of Western dominance from European colonial powers, the book follows the paradigm shift that occurred with China's 21st century foray into Africa in search of oil and other raw materials to fuel its own rapidly rising economy. Using an interdisciplinary approach, the author proposes that Africa will only get maximum benefits from high-level investment activities if it succeeds in evolving an Africa-driven foreign investment policy. This strategy presents the best scenario for an African economic renaissance in the 21st century. An invaluable contribution to research on contemporary Afro-Asian dynamics, this book will be of interest to students and academics of African Studies, Asian Studies, globalization, and economics, as well as potential investors and investing agencies.

    Abstract: "Although the Ormánság [...] was a early subject of ethnographic scrutiny, in particular for such oddities as undergirded (talpas) houses, white skirt (bikla), and its archaic forms of agriculture, the present publication seeks not to analyse the ethnographic group that lived there, not to offer a detailed examination of its past or present, but to explore the history and composition of a particular set of museum photographs, a collection that depicts a peasant world with truly antique traditions."

    Abstract: The ancient Axumite Kingdom, now a part of Ethiopia, was possibly the first nation in the world to convert to Christianity. In AD 340 King Ezana commissioned the construction of the imposing basilica of St. Mary of Tsion. It was here, the Ethiopians say, that Menelik, son of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, brought the Ark of the Covenant containing the Ten Commandments. By the fifth century, the Ethiopian Orthodox Church had spread beyond Axum into the countryside, aided by nine saints from Byzantium, and over the next ten centuries a series of spectacular churches were either built or excavated out of solid rock in the region, all of them in regular use to this day. Lalibela, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, has the best known cluster, but the northern state of Tigray, less famous and more remote, has many churches that are masterpieces of design.Ethiopia: The Living Churches of an Ancient Kingdom traces the broad sweep of ecclesiastical history, legend, art, and faith in this sub-Saharan African kingdom and describes some seventy of the most breathtaking churches, with their astounding architecture, colorful decoration, and important religious festivals, all illustrated by more than eight hundred superb color photographs by some of the most celebrated international photographers of traditional cultures. This magnificent, large-format, full-color volume is the most comprehensive celebration yet published of the extraordinary Christian architectural and cultural heritage of Ethiopia

    Abstract: Since the collapse of the Berlin Wall, there has been a widespread affirmation of economic ideologies that conceive the market as an autonomous sphere of human practice, holding that market principles should be applied to human action at large. In the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, the ascendance of market reason has been countered by calls for reforms of financial markets and for the consideration of moral values in economic practice. This book intervenes in these debates by showing how neoliberal market practices engender new forms of religiosity, and how religiosity shapes economic actions. It reveals how religious movements and organizations have reacted to the increasing prominence of market reason in unpredictable, and sometimes counterintuitive, ways. Using a range of examples from different countries and religious traditions, the book illustrates the myriad ways in which religious and market moralities are closely imbricated in diverse global contexts.
