    Human rights of the third gender in India : beyond the Binary (2023)
    London : Routledge, Taylor & Francis Group

    Keywords: Indien Transsexualität ; Hijra ; Menschenrecht ; Recht ; LGBT ; Soziale Bedingungen ; Soziales Leben ; Diskriminierung ; Literatur
    Abstract: This book engages with the discourses on human rights as they apply to the transgender or the hijra community in India, capturing not only their larger struggle for legal rights and dignity but also their personal hardships. It situates the issues and concerns of the Indian transgender community within a global context to explore the extent of social justice in independent India.By narrating stories of individuals, local movements and activities of groups like the Association of Transgenders and Hijras in Bengal, and the Pratyay Gender Trust, the book gives context to the changes that globalisation has brought to the narrative around transgenders in India. The shift caused by globalisation has challenged their marginalisation and has led to stories, films and queer individuals like Chapal Bhaduri - the jatra rani - and the iconic filmmaker Rituparno Ghosh to flourish and become relevant. This book brings these literatures and personal stories to the fore to allow readers to perceive the changes and the challenges that Indian society faces when it comes to ensuring the rights for transgender people.This volume will be of interest to scholars of gender studies, queer studies, literature and social work along with readers who want to engage with the transgender movement and community in India.

    Abstract: West African Soldiers in Britain's Colonial Army explores the complex and constantly changing experience of West African soldiers under British command in Nigeria, the Gold Coast (now Ghana), Sierra Leone, and the Gambia. Since cost and tropical disease limited the deployment of British metropolitan troops to the region, British colonial rule in West Africa depended heavily on locally recruited soldiers and their families. This force became Britain's largest colonial army in Sub-Saharan Africa. West African Soldiers looks at the development of this colonial military from the conquest era of the late nineteenth century to decolonization in the 1950s. Rather than describing the many battles fought by this army both regionally and overseas, and informed by the concept of military culture, the book looks at the broad and overlapping themes of identity, culture, daily life, and violence. Chapter topics include the enslaved origins of the force, military identities including the myth of martial races, religious life, visual symbols like uniforms and insignia, health care related to tropical and sexually transmitted diseases, the experience of army wives, disciplinary flogging, mutiny, day-to-day violence committed by troops, and the employment of former soldiers by the colonial state. Based on archival research in five countries, the book derives inspiration from previous work on ordinary African soldiers in the British and German colonies of East Africa and in French West Africa.

    Abstract: Christian and Muslim schools have become important target points in families and pupils' quests for new study opportunities and securing a 'good life' in Tanzania. These schools combine secular education with the moral (self-)formation of young people, triggering new realignments of the fields of education with interreligious co-existence and class formation in the country's urban centres. Hansjörg Dilger explores the emerging entanglements of faith, morality, and the educational market in Dar es Salaam, thereby shedding light on processes of religious institutionalisation and their individual and collective embodiment. By contextualising these dynamics through analysis of the politics of Christian-Muslim relations in postcolonial Tanzania, this book shows how the field of education has shaped the positions of these highly diverse religious communities in diverging ways. In doing so, Dilger suggests that students and teachers' religious experience and practice in faith-oriented schools are shaped by the search for socio-moral belonging as well as by the power relations and inequalities of an interconnected world.

    Abstract: Das Süße in seinen affektiven Besetzungen, ästhetischen Ausprägungen und politischen Einsätzen ist Gegenstand des Themenheftes. Als historisches, soziales und (pop-)kulturelles Phänomen wird das Süße als Praxis erforscht und als ein Verweiszusammenhang erkundet, der Bestimmungen von Konsum und Geschlecht stetig variiert. Im Debattenteil wird der gewaltsame Tod von George Floyd und die sich daran anschließenden weltweiten Proteste von Black Lives Matter zum Anlass genommen, um nach der unerträglichen Ungleichzeitigkeit des Gleichzeitigen zu fragen. Die Diskussion umfasst einen methodisch-theoretischen und politischen Umgang mit der temporalen Dimension von Ungleichheitsverhältnissen. (Verlagsangabe)

    Abstract: Nigeria is a country shaped by internal diversity and transnational connections, past and present. Leading Nigerian writers from Chinua Achebe, Amos Tutuola and Wole Soyinka to Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and Teju Cole have portrayed these Nigerian issues, and have also written about some of the momentous events in Nigerian history. Afropolitan Horizons discusses their work alongside other novelists and commentators, as well as describing the ways in which Nigeria has appeared in foreign news reporting. It is all interwoven with the author`s own anthropological field research in a town in Central Nigeria.

    Abstract: Shaped around the stories of one extended family, their friends, neighbours, and community, Pandemic Kinship provides an intimate portrait of everyday life in Botswana's time of AIDS. It challenges assumptions about a 'crisis of care' unfolding in the wake of the pandemic, showing that care - like other aspects of Tswana kinship - is routinely in crisis, and that the creative ways families navigate such crises make them kin. In Setswana, conflict and crisis are glossed as dikgang, and negotiating dikgang is an ethical practice that generates and reorients kin relations over time. Governmental and non-governmental organisations often misread the creativity of crisis, intervening in ways that may prove more harmful than the problems they set out to solve. Moving between family discussions, community events, and the daily work of orphan care projects and social work offices, Pandemic Kinship provides provocative insights into how we manage change in pandemic times.

    Abstract: Ethnologinnen und Ethnologen haben eine lange Erfahrung mit Fragen der kulturellen Aneignung von Wissen, die seit kurzem auch stark in den Mittelpunkt des öffentlichen Interesses gerückt sind. Sie kennen das Dilemma, dass die eigene Forschungspraxis oft unter Rahmenbedingungen stattfindet, in denen koloniale und andere Formen der Ausbeutung bestehen, wissen aber auch um die Bedeutung und den Wert von "Ethnologie als Alltagsressource". Die Beiträge in diesem Band untersuchen daher den Wert ethnologischer Forschungen für die erforschten Gruppen und für das Verständnis der jeweils eigenen Gesellschaft.

    Abstract: "Mexico has become notorious for crime-related violence, and the efforts of governments and national and international NGOs to counter this violence have proven largely futile. Citizens against Crime and Violence studies societal responses to crime and violence within one of Mexico's most affected regions, the state of Michoacán. Based on comparative ethnography conducted over twelve months by a team of anthropologists and sociologists across six localities of Michoacán, ranging from the most rural to the most urban, the contributors consider five varieties of societal responses: local citizen security councils that define security and attempt to influence its policing, including by self-defense groups; cultural activists looking to create safe 'cultural' fields from which to transform their social environment; organizations in the state capital that combine legal and political strategies against less visible violence (forced disappearance, gender violence, anti-LGBT); church-linked initiatives bringing to bear the church's institutionality, including to denounce 'state capture'; and women's organizations creating 'safe' networks allowing to influence violence prevention"--

    Abstract: In the spring of 1973, the Baharvand tribe from the Luristan province of central western Iran prepared to migrate from their winter pastures to their summer camp in the mountains. Seasonal migration in spring and fall had been their way of life for as long as anyone in the camp could remember. They moved their camp and their animals—sheep, goats, horses, donkeys, and chickens—in order to find green pastures and suitable temperatures. That year, one migrating family in the tribe allowed an outsider to make the trip with them. Anthropology professor Frank Hole, accompanied by his graduate student, Sekandar Amanolahi-Baharvand, traveled with the family of Morad Khan as they migrated into the mountains. In this volume, Hole describes the journey, the modern and prehistoric sites along the way, and the people he traveled with. It is a portrait of people in transition—even as the family follows the ancient migration path, there are signs of economic and social change everywhere. (Verlagsangabe)

    Abstract: After the harrowing experience of the pandemic and lockdown, both states and individuals have been searching for ways to exit the crisis, many hoping to return as soon as possible to the world as it was before the pandemic. But there is another way to learn the lessons of this ordeal: as inhabitants of the earth, we may not be able to exit lockdown so easily after all, since the global health crisis is embedded in another larger and more serious crisis, that brought about by the New Climate Regime. Learning to live in lockdown might be an opportunity to be seized: a dress-rehearsal for the climate mutation, an opportunity to understand at last where we, inhabitants of the earth, live, what kind of place earth is and how we will be able to orient ourselves and exist in this world in the years to come.  We might finally be able to explore the land in which we live, together with all other living beings, begin to understand the true nature of the climate mutation we are living through and discover what kind of freedom is possible; a freedom differently situated and differently understood. In this sequel to his bestselling book "Down to Earth", Bruno Latour provides a compass for this necessary re-orientation of our lives, outlining the metaphysics of confinement and deconfinement with which we will all be obliged to come to terms by the strange times in which we are living.

    Abstract: Im englischen Original mehrfach ausgezeichnet und nun endlich auf Deutsch erhältlich: Seth M. Holmes bietet eine eingehende Untersuchung des alltäglichen Lebens und Leidens mexikanischer Migrant*innen, die in der modernen US-Landwirtschaft als Erntehelfer*innen arbeiten. Der Anthropologe und Mediziner zeigt, wie Gesundheit und Gesundheitsversorgung durch die Schattenseiten der Konsumgesellschaft, durch Ressentiments gegen Einwander*innen und durch Rassismus leiden. Holmes' Material ist erschütternd und eindrucksvoll: Er wanderte mit seinen Begleiter*innen illegal durch die Wüste nach Arizona und wurde mit ihnen inhaftiert, bis sie abgeschoben wurden. Er lebte bei indigenen Familien in den Bergen von Oaxaca und in Farmarbeitslagern in den USA, baute Mais und Erdbeeren an und begleitete kranke Arbeiter*innen in Krankenhäuser. Diese »verkörperte Anthropologie« (Embodied Anthropology) vertieft unser theoretisches Verständnis dafür, wie schnell soziale Ungleichheiten in der Gesellschaft - und besonders im Gesundheitswesen - als normal und natürlich wahrgenommen werden.

    Abstract: Verkappte Hassprediger oder fürsorgliche religiöse Leitfiguren? Imame sind wichtige Schlüsselpersonen in der muslimischen Community, doch was bewegt sie wirklich? Rauf Ceylan geht dem Alltagsleben der Imame auf den Grund, untersucht ihre politische und religiöse Orientierung, ihre Position in der Gemeinde und der deutschen Gesellschaft. Er zeigt, weshalb sie wesentlich die Integration der Muslime in die deutsche Gesellschaft mitbestimmen und welche Konsequenzen das hat. Und er schlägt Antworten auf entscheidende Fragen vor: Wie wird die Bundesregierung in Zukunft mit der Installierung von Imamen umgehen? Oder: Wie werden Fragen wie etwa die Finanzierung von Imamen geklärt? Das Institut für Islamische Theologie der Universität Osnabrück und mit ihm Rauf Ceylan sind in diesem Prozess entscheidend involviert - ein Buch aus erster Hand, fundiert und prägnant.- Die überarbeitete und aktualisierte Neuausgabe präsentiert neueste Fakten und aktuelle Forschungsergebnisse.

    Abstract: Though the current political situation in Palestine is more serious than ever, contemporary Palestinian art and film is becoming, paradoxically, increasingly funny.In Laughter in Occupied Palestine, Chrisoula Lionis analyses both the impetus behind this shift toward laughter and its consequences, arguing that laughter comes as a response to political uncertainty and the decline in nationalist hope. Revealing the crucial role of laughter in responding to the failure of the peace process and ongoing occupation, she unearths the potential of humour to facilitate understanding and empathy in a time of division. This is the first book to provide a combined overview of Palestinian art and film, showing the ways in which both art forms have developed in response to critical moments in Palestinian history over the last century. These key moments, Lionis argues, have radically transformed contemporary Palestinian collective identity and in turn Palestinian cultural output.Mapping these critical junctions - beginning with the Balfour Declaration of 1917 to the Oslo Accords in 1993 - she explores the historical trajectory of Palestinian art and film, and explains how to the failure of the peace process has led to the present proliferation of humour in Palestinian visual culture.

    Abstract: Drawing on twenty years of research, this book examines the historical perspective of a Pacific people who saw "globalization" come and go. Suau people encountered the leading edge of missionization and colonialism in Papua New Guinea and were active participants in the Second World War. In Memory of Times to Come offers a nuanced account of how people assess their own experience of change over the course of a critical century. It asks two key questions: What does it mean to claim that global connections are in the past rather than the present or the future, and what does it mean to claim that one has lost one's culture, but not because anyone else took it away or destroyed it?

    Abstract: In this beautiful and transformative book, 24 Maori academics share their personal journeys, revealing what being Maori has meant for them in their work. Their perspectives provide insight for all New Zealanders into how matauranga is positively influencing the Western-dominated disciplines of knowledge in the research sector.It is a shameful fact, says co-editor Jacinta Ruru in her introduction to Nga Kete Matauranga, that in 2020, only about 5 percent of academic staff at universities in Aotearoa New Zealand are Maori. Tertiary institutions have for the most part been hostile places for Indigenous students and staff, and this book is an important call for action. It is well past time that our country seriously commits to decolonising the tertiary workforce, curriculum and research agenda, writes Professor Ruru.

    Abstract: Harold Garfinkels 1967 erschienene »Studies in Ethnomethodology« gelten als Gründungsdokument der Ethnomethodologie und haben längst den Status eines soziologischen Klassikers. Doch so bekannt dieses Buch ist, so wenig wurde es tatsächlich gelesen. Angesichts radikaler Veränderungen der Lebenswelt unterziehen die Beiträger*innen des Bandes die »Studies« gut 50 Jahre nach ihrer Ersterscheinung einer Relektüre. Sie decken bisher verborgene Bezüge auf, rekapitulieren methodologische und empirische Anschlüsse an Garfinkel, diskutieren Parallelen und Differenzen zu anderen soziologischen und kulturwissenschaftlichen Forschungsprogrammen und demonstrieren das kritische Potenzial der Ethnomethodologie.

    Abstract: Evil eye is a phenomenon observed globally and has to do with the misfortune and calamities that we can cause to someone else out of jealousy of their possessions. The book engages with evil eye beliefs in Corfu and investigates the Christian Orthodox influences on the phenomenon and how it affects individuals' reactions to it. Developing an interdisciplinary dialogue, it offers a fresh view of evil eye as a facilitator of wellbeing rather than a generator of calamities. (Umschlagtext)

    Abstract: "In the years following World War II, the women of Abeokuta, Nigeria, staged a successful tax revolt that led to the formation first of the Abeokuta Women's Union and then of Nigeria's first national women's organization, the Nigerian Women's Union, in 1949. These organizations became ground zero for a new political vision of a vehicle for women across Nigeria to define their interests, desires, and needs while fulfilling the obligations and responsibilities of citizenship. In The Great Upheaval, Judith A. Byfield has crafted a finely textured social and intellectual history of gender and nation-making that not only tells a story of women's postwar activism but grounds it in a nuanced account of the complex tax system that generated the "upheaval." In capturing the dynamism of women's political activism in Nigeria's postwar period, Byfield illuminates the centrality of gender to the study of nationalism. She thus offers new lines of inquiry into the late colonial era and its consequences for the future Nigerian state. Ultimately, she challenges us to problematize the collapse of her female subjects' greatest aspiration, universal franchise, when the country achieved independence in 1960"--

    Keywords: Krankheit Epidemie ; Medizin ; Ungleichheit ; Gesundheit ; Sozialer Aspekt ; Gesellschaft ; Politik ; Regierung ; Anthropologie, medizinische
    Abstract: Drawing upon the empirical scholarship and research expertise of contributors from all settled continents and from diverse life settings and economies, Viral Loads illustrates how the COVID-19 pandemic, and responses to it, lay bare and load onto people`s lived realities in countries around the world.A crosscutting theme pertains to how social unevenness and gross economic disparities are shaping global and local responses to the pandemic, and illustrate the effects of both the virus and efforts to contain it in ways that amplify these inequalities. At the same time, the contributions highlight the nature of contemporary social life, including virtual communication, the nature of communities, neoliberalism and contemporary political economies, and the shifting nature of nation states and the role of government. Over half of the world`s population has been affected by restrictions of movement, with physical distancing requirements and self-isolation recommendations impacting profoundly on everyday life but also on the economy, resulting also, in turn, with dramatic shifts in the economy and in mass unemployment.By reflecting on how the pandemic has interrupted daily lives, state infrastructures and healthcare systems, the contributing authors in this volume mobilise anthropological theories and concepts to locate the pandemic in a highly connected and exceedingly unequal world. The book is ambitious in its scope - spanning the entire globe - and daring in its insistence that medical anthropology must be a part of the growing calls to build a new world.

It is visible in the aerodynamic boomerang, the ingenious design of fish traps and the precise layouts of community settlements that strengthen social cohesion.Alison Page and Paul Memmott show how these design principles of sophisticated function, sustainability and storytelling, refined over many millennia, are now being applied to contemporary practices. Design: Building on Country issues a challenge for a new Australian design ethos, one that truly responds to the essence of Country and its people.

While many have emigrated to countries across the world, they have been matched by the flow of experts who arrive in Afghanistan after having been in other war-torn countries such as the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Palestine or East Timor. This book builds on more than two decades of ethnographic travels in some twenty countries, bringing the readers from Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iran to Europe, North America and Australia. It describes the everyday life and transnational circulations of Afghan refugees and expatriates"-- Provided by publisher.

    Keywords: Mongolei Entwicklung, wirtschaftliche ; Sozio-ökonomischer Aspekt ; Frau ; Soziale Bedingungen ; Demokratisierung ; Gesellschaft ; Politik
    Abstract: Almost 10 years ago the mineral-rich country of Mongolia experienced very rapid economic growth, fuelled by China`s need for coal and copper. New subjects, buildings, and businesses flourished, and future dreams were imagined and hoped for. This period of growth is, however, now over. Mongolia is instead facing high levels of public and private debt, conflicts over land and sovereignty, and a changed political climate that threatens its fragile democratic institutions.Subjective Lives and Economic Transformations in Mongolia details this complex story through the intimate lives of five women. Building on long-term friendships, which span over 20 years, Rebecca documents their personal journeys in an ever-shifting landscape. She reveals how these women use experiences of living a `life in the gap` to survive the hard reality between desired outcomes and their actual daily lives. In doing so, she offers a completely different picture from that presented by economists and statisticians of what it is like to live in this fluctuating extractive economy.

    Abstract: This monograph is a comparative study of eight ways of life of highlanders in West Papua. It consists of ten sections: an introduction, a conclusion and eight ethnographic chapters, each dealing with a separate way of life. I chose this presentation since I wanted to make clear the individuality of each of them. In the book I attempt to trace the changes in these ways of life as they were occurring just previous to the settlement of colonial outsiders. This attempt proved feasible since for seven of them first contact accounts are available.

    Abstract: In Sometime Kin Sandra Wallman paints the portrait of an Alpine settlement - its history, economy and culture, and its unusual resistance to outsiders and modernization. Against this, journal extracts show the villagers embracing her four small children and acting as participant observers in the two-way process of research. This project happened more than forty years ago and involved a uniquely large fieldwork family, but its insights have wider significance. The book argues that the intrusion of observation inevitably distorts the ordinary life observed; that the challenges of multi-vocality and "truth" are always with us; and that memory is the bedrock of every ethnographic enterprise.

    Abstract: "Exploring lived atheism in the South Indian states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, this book offers a unique insight into India's rapidly transforming multi-religious society. It explores the social, cultural, and aesthetic challenges faced by a movement of secular activists in their endeavors to establish atheism as a practical and comprehensive way of life. On the basis of original ethnographic material and engaged conceptual analysis, Total Atheism develops an alternative to Eurocentric accounts of secularity and critically revisits central themes of South Asian scholarship from the hitherto marginalized vantage point of radically secular and explicitly irreligious atheists in India"-- provided by the publisher

    Abstract: "American Indians have served in our nation's military since colonial times. For many, military service is an extension of their warrior traditions. Others serve for love of home and country. Throughout Indian Country, servicemen and women are some of the most honored members of their communities. Charged by Congress with creating a memorial on its grounds, the National Museum of the American Indian (NMAI) will dedicate the National Native American Veterans Memorial in fall 2020 to give all Americans the opportunity "to learn of the proud and courageous tradition of service of Native Americans." Why We Serve commemorates the opening of the memorial through the history of Native military service in all its complexity, from colonial Native nations who forged alliances, attempting to preserve their sovereignty, to contemporary individuals celebrating their Indigenous culture while fighting in foreign conflicts.

    From obscurity to light : women in early medieval Orissa (seventh to twelfth centuries AD (2020)

    Abstract: This book attempts to reintegrate women into the socio-political milieu of early medieval Orissa. Its sources are inscriptions, mostly Sanskrit, that date from the seventh century to the end of the reign of the Imperial Ganga ruler, Anantavarman Codagangadeva (CE 1078-1147). The evidence indicates that royal and non-royal women had varying but undeniably important roles to play in the socio-political fabric of this prominent regional entity. The Bhauma-Kara dynasty (c. mid-eighth/ninth-late tenth century) that witnessed the rule of six women, four of them in succession, is a case in point. In addition, the palpable presence of several other royal and non-royal women is consistently documented in the epigraphic record. This is an aspect that has received very little attention in secondary works, thereby rendering this study a pioneering one. The work follows on from Rangachari's earlier Invisible Women, Visible Histories: Gender, Polity and Society in North India (7th to 12th century ad), which had focused on important gendered aspects of early medieval north India through an analysis of literary and epigraphic sources of Kashmir, Kanauj, Bengal and Bihar. The invisibilization of women, whereby their presence is routinely ignored or trivialized, was, similarly, its underlying essence.

    Keywords: Psychologie Psychiatrie ; Psychische Krankheit ; Gesellschaft ; Gesellschaftskritik
    Abstract: Foucaults Geschichte des Wahnsinns im Zeitalter der Vernunft erschien 1961 ursprünglich als Dissertation. Sie stellt verschiedene Aspekte des Wahnsinns und dessen Rollenbild in psychiatrischen Konzepten von der Antike über die Jahrhunderte kritisch dar, indem sie der Frage nachgeht, ob der Wahnsinn eine historische Universale oder etwas Gemachtes ist. Das Buch handelt auch von den bis in die Gegenwart hineinreichenden Bestrebungen der Psychiatrie am Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts, den Wahnsinn auf Geisteskrankheit zu reduzieren und so, vom Gesunden, Normalen und Vernünftigen abspaltend, zu pathologisieren. Die gesellschaftlich verhängte Bestrafung für den Wahnsinn wird in den Behandlungsanstalten vollzogen. Das Bewusstsein verbindet die Begriffe "Wahnsinn" und "Verbrechen", während die Vernunft deren Behandlung in Gefängnisanstalten und Hospitals autorisiert. Der Nachbar wird eingesperrt, um seinen eigenen gesunden Menschenverstand zu beweisen, zitiert Foucault Dostojewski. Die Vernunft gilt als allgemein akzeptierter Gegensatz zum Wahnsinn. Sie ist gekennzeichnet durch die gnadenlose Sprache des Nicht-Wahnsinns, in der die Menschen in ihrer Haltung überlegener Vernunft miteinander verkehren. Anstatt diese Polarität hinzunehmen, schlägt der Autor vor, die Suche nach einem einheitlichen und absoluten Wahrheitsbegriff aufzugeben und einen Zwischenraum der Leere distanziert wahrzunehmen, in dem die Trennung zwischen dem wahnsinnigen und nicht wahnsinnigen Menschen noch nicht vollzogen ist.

    Abstract: Die vorliegende Arbeit von Maria Lassak, die von Prof. Michael Bollig betreut wurde, wendet sich, empirisch fundiert, einem vernachlässigten Thema der Wirtschafts- und Sozialethnologie zu. Welche Bedeutung haben staatliche Wohlfahrtszahlungen für die Bearbeitung der Armutsfrage im Globalen Süden? Zunehmend entscheiden sich Länder des Globalen Südens (etwa Südafrika, Brasilien und Iran) dazu, durch großangelegte Wohlfahrtsprogramme ländliche Armut zu bekämpfen. In Südafrika (und auch in den Nachbarländern Botswana und Namibia) werden gehaltsunabhängige Renten gezahlt, die leicht über dem gesetzlich verbürgten Mindesteinkommen liegen. Jede Person über 65 (bzw. 60) - einerlei ob sie in ihrem Leben in einem formalen Arbeitsverhältnis war oder nicht - erhält eine Grundrente. Diese Grundrenten spielen im ländlichen Raum des südlichen Afrika eine zentrale Rolle. Im ländlichen Südafrika etwa stellen gehaltsunabhängige Renten in fast 50 Prozent der Haushalte das zentrale Haushaltseinkommen dar. In anderen Staaten des Globalen Südens werden derartige Renten, Kindergelder und Grundeinkommen an bedürftige Haushalte ausgezahlt (so etwa im Bolsa Familia Programm Brasiliens). Diesen Weg geht auch Tansania in einigen Pilotprojekten. Lassak nimmt als theoretische Vorlage die neuesten Arbeiten James Fergusons, die in der Streitschrift "Give Man a Fish" überzeugend zusammengefasst wurden. Ferguson argumentiert, dass angesichts überbelasteter natürlicher Ressourcen und vielfach gescheiterter Versuch den ländlichen Raum in marktorientierte Produktionsprozesse einzubeziehen und so Wohlstand zu schaffen, nur "social transfers" (Renten, Kindergelder etc.) die Möglichkeit bieten, Armut zu bekämpfen. Ferguson beschreibt wie die permanenten Versuche, verarmte ländliche Bevölkerungen zu Produzenten für den Weltmarkt zu machen, immer wieder scheitern - schlicht, weil derartige Produzenten auf dem Weltmarkt nicht konkurrieren können. Die alte Diktion, man solle den Menschen keine Fische geben, sondern sie beim Fischen anleiten (um so unabhängig zu werden), entlarvt Ferguson als neoliberale Ideologie. Lassak erläutert diesen theoretischen Hintergrund ihrer Arbeit kurz, aber angemessen und zielführend. Mit empirischen Daten aus dem Süden Tansanias weist sie auf die große Bedeutung dieser Thematik für die soziale und wirtschaftliche Entwicklung des ländlichen Raums hin. Angesichts der Vielzahl nationaler Programme, die alle "social transfers" als zentrale Strategie der Armutsbekämpfung identifizieren, wird die Ethnologie sich in den kommenden Jahren vermehrt dieser Thematik zuwenden müssen, um kulturellen, sozialen und wirtschaftlichen Wandel in ruralen Zonen des Globalen Südens zu verstehen (Verlagsangaben)

    Abstract: Klappentext: "Traditionally viewed as an abstraction, the quantative nature of money is essential in evaluating the relationship between monetary systems and society. On the Qualities of Quantity moves beyond abstraction, exploring the conceptual diversity and everyday enactment of money's quantity. Drawing from case studies including British jewelers, blood money payments in Germanic law codes, and the quotidian use of money in cosmopolital Moscow, a Western Kenyan village, and socialist Havana, the chapters in this volume offer new theoretical and empirical interpretations of money's quantative nature as it relates to abstraction, sociality, materiality, freedom, and morality."

    Abstract: "The book is set in the anthropologically much-neglected multi-ethnic interior of Highland Middle India. It is the result of fieldwork done over a period of more than a decade among the Ho, an indigenous community of approximately one million people, who have shared cultural norms and the space of the hilly region of the Chota Nagpur Plateau with other aboriginal (adivasi) and artisan communities for ages. The book explores the structured tapestry of Ho people’s relations and interrelatedness within their culture-specific sociocosmic universe ensuring their social reproduction in the present and affording them the means for and the awareness of living in a world of plenty. This world of abundance – with the Ho as its conceptual centre – includes the Ho’s dead, their complex spirit world and supreme deity, and their tribal and nontribal fellow humans, and it manifests itself in manifold facets of their lives: socially, ritually, economically, and linguistically."--

    Keywords: Zentral-Asien Sicherheit ; Frieden ; Soziales Leben ; Alltag ; Politik ; Terrorismus ; Beziehungen, interethnische
    Abstract: Central Asia remains on the periphery, both spatially and in people's imaginations. When the region does attract international attention, it is often related to security issues, including terrorism, ethnic conflict and drug trafficking. This book brings together leading specialists from a range of disciplines including geography, anthropology, sociology and political science to discuss how citizens and governments within Central Asia think about and practise security. The authors explore how governments use fears of instability to bolster their rule, and how securitized populations cope with (and resist) being labelled threats through strategies that are rarely associated with security, including marriage and changing their appearance. This collection examines a wide range of security issues including Islamic extremism, small arms, interethnic relations and border regions. While coverage of the region often departs from preconceived notions of the region as dangerous, obscure and volatile, the chapters in this book all place emphasis on the way local people understand security and harmony in their daily lives. This book will be of interest to students and researchers of Central Asian Studies as well as Security Studies and Political Science.

    Abstract: In Guinea, situated in the background of central government struggles, rural elites use identity politics, through history and contemporary political reforms to maintain their privileges and perpetuate a generation-old local social contract that bridges ethnic and religious divides. Simultaneously, administrative reform and national unrest lead to the creative re-combination of sources of authority and practices of legitimate rule. Past periods of decolonization, socialism and authoritarian regime are reflected in contemporary struggles to make sense of participatory democracy and the future of the embattled Guinean national state.

    Abstract: As a young anthropologist, Don Kulick went to the tiny village of Gapun in New Guinea to document the death of the native language, Tayap. He arrived knowing that you can`t study a language without understanding the daily lives of the people who speak it: how they talk to their children, how they argue, how they gossip, how they joke. Over the course of thirty years, he returned again and again to document Tayap before it disappeared entirely, and he found himself inexorably drawn into their world, and implicated in their destiny. Kulick wanted to tell the story of Gapuners—one that went beyond the particulars and uses of their language—that took full stock of their vanishing culture. This book takes us inside the village as he came to know it, revealing what it is like to live in a difficult-to-get-to village of two hundred people, carved out like a cleft in the middle of a tropical rainforest. But A Death in the Rainforest is also an illuminating look at the impact of white society on the farthest reaches of the globe—and the story of why this anthropologist realized finally that he had to give up his study of this language and this village.An engaging, deeply perceptive, and brilliant interrogation of what it means to study a culture, A Death in the Rainforest takes readers into a world that endures in the face of massive changes, one that is on the verge of disappearing forever.

    Social formations of wonder : anthropology and awe (2019)

    Keywords: Anthropologie, soziale Wunder ; Beziehungen, zwischenmenschliche ; Soziales Leben
    Abstract: What can wonder engender in terms of religious, political, and broader social practice? Thinkers from Plato to Martin Heidegger and Cornelius Castoriadis; surrealists such as Andre Breton and Pierre Mabille; and most recently the religious philosopher Mary-Jane Rubenstein have all explored the ways that wonder is not articulated once and for all, but continuously worked upon. This book engages with anthropological explorations of wonder, responding to recent work by Michael W. Scott in order to bring the weight, colour, scent and sound of real ethnographic encounters to new ways of thinking about wonder. The question for contributors is how wonder works as an index of challenges to the known, the moral, the true, and the real. The case studies reveal how probing wonder can bring us closer to understanding the formation of social institutions as various `modalities of wonder` destabilize old forms and articulate new ones.
    Note: This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Religious and Political Practice.

    Abstract: Impersonations centers on an insular community of Smarta brahmin men from the Kuchipudi village in Telugu-speaking South India who don stri-vesam (woman`s guise) and impersonate female characters from Hindu religious narratives. Impersonation is not simply a gender performance limited to the Kuchipudi stage, but a practice of power that enables the construction of hegemonic brahmin masculinity in everyday village life. This book analyzes the practice of impersonation across a series of boundaries - village to urban to transnational, brahmin to non-brahmin, hegemonic to nonnormative - to explore the artifice of brahmin masculinity in contemporary South Indian dance.

    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: "Life in Bangkok for young people is marked by profound, interlocking changes and transitions. This book offers an ethnographic account of growing up in the city's slums, struggling to get by in a rapidly developing and globalizing economy and trying to fulfil one's dreams. At the same time, it reflects on the issue of agency, exploring its negative potential when exercised by young people living under severe structural constraint. It offers an antidote to neoliberal ideas around personal responsibility, and the assumed potential for individuals to break through structures of constraint in any sustained way"--

    Abstract: Theravada Traditions offers a unique comparative approach to understanding Buddhism: it examines popular rituals of central importance in the predominantly Theravada Buddhist cultures of Laos, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Myanmar, and Cambodia. Instead of focusing on how religious ideas have impacted the ideals of government or ethical practice, author John Holt tries to ascertain how important changes, or shifts, in the trajectories of the political economies of societies have impacted the character of religious cultures. Each of the five chapters focuses on a particular rite and provides detailed historical, political, or social context: Holt shows how worship of the Phra Bang Buddha image in the annual pi mai or New Year's rites in Luang Phrabang, Laos, has changed dramatically since the 1975 communist revolution and the subsequent opening up of the country to tourism; he describes how, in the face of insurrections and a prolonged civil war, the annual asala perahara processions in Kandy, Sri Lanka, have come to reflect a robust assertion of a Sinhala Buddhist nationalist identity; how ordination rites among Thai Buddhists reflect the manner in which Thai culture has been ever more "commodified" in the context of its dramatically developing economy; and how in tightly controlled Myanmar the kathina rite, the act of giving new robes to members of the sangha after the completion of the rain-retreat season, transformed into a season of campaigning for gift-giving and merit-making; finally, he demonstrates how, in light of the devastating losses inflicted by the Khmer Rouge, pchum ben, the annual rite of caring ritually for one's deceased kin, became the most popular and perhaps most emotionally observed of all rites in the Khmer calendar year. In short, Theravada Traditions illustrates how popular, public ritual performance, far from being static, clearly indexes patterns of social and political change. Broad but deep, rigorous yet accessible, this rich, innovative volume provides a provocative introduction to the practice of Theravada Buddhism and the nature of social change in contemporary Sri Lanka and Southeast Asia.

    Abstract: La 4e de couv. indique : "Le double mouvement de globalisation et de localisation des phénomènes sociodémographiques a donné une acuité inédite à la question des échelles en sciences humaines et sociales, renouvelant les questions d`articulation entre les niveaux micro et macro. Dans le même temps, le décloisonnement des pratiques scientifiques n`a cessé d`encourager les chercheurs à revoir et à partager leurs échelles d`observation et d`analyse. Changer d`échelle, qu`elle soit spatiale, temporelle ou catégorielle, c`est adopter une autre optique sur un même objet de recherche mais cela ne se fait pas sans risques. Encore trop souvent reléguée à une dimension technique, il s`agit pourtant d`une question des plus fécondes pour sans cesse réinterroger collectivement les dynamiques des sociétés contemporaines. Les auteurs de cet ouvrage - géographes, sociologues, anthropologues, démographes - relèvent ces défis épistémologiques et méthodologiques à partir de leurs pratiques de recherche sur des terrains aussi variés que l`Afrique de l`Ouest et du Nord, le Moyen-Orient, l`Asie du Sud-Est, la Mélanésie ou encore l`Europe"

    Abstract: Niger most often comes into the public eye as an example of deprivation and insecurity. Urban centers have become concentrated areas of unemployment filled with young men trying, against all odds, to find jobs and fill their time with meaningful occupations. At the heart of Adeline Masquelier`s groundbreaking book is the fada—a space where men gather to escape boredom by talking, playing cards, listening to music, and drinking tea. As a place in which new forms of sociability and belonging are forged outside the unattainable arena of work, the fada has become an integral part of Niger`s urban landscape. By considering the fada as a site of experimentation, Masquelier offers a nuanced depiction of how young men in urban Niger engage in the quest for recognition and reinvent their own masculinity in the absence of conventional avenues to self-realization. In an era when fledgling and advanced economies alike are struggling to support meaningful forms of employment, this book offers a timely glimpse into how to create spaces of stability, respect, and creativity in the face of diminished opportunities and precarity.

    Abstract: The border region of the Sonoran Desert, which spans southern Arizona in the United States and northern Sonora, Mexico, has attracted national and international attention. But what is less discussed in national discourses is the impact of current border policies on the Native peoples of the region. There are twenty-six tribal nations recognized by the U.S. federal government in the southern border region and approximately eight groups of Indigenous peoples in the United States with historical ties to Mexico - the Yaqui, the O'odham, the Cocopah, the Kumeyaay, the Pai, the Apaches, the Tiwa (Tigua), and the Kickapoo.Divided Peoples addresses the impact border policies have on traditional lands and the peoples who live there&;whether environmental degradation, border patrol harassment, or the disruption of traditional ceremonies. Anthropologist Christina Leza shows how such policies affect the traditional cultural survival of Indigenous peoples along the border. The author examines local interpretations and uses of international rights tools by Native activists, counterdiscourse on the U.S.-Mexico border, and challenges faced by Indigenous border activists when communicating their issues to a broader public.Through ethnographic research with grassroots Indigenous activists in the region, the author reveals several layers of division - the division of Indigenous peoples by the physical U.S.-Mexico border, the divisions that exist between Indigenous perspectives and mainstream U.S. perspectives regarding the border, and the traditionalist/nontraditionalist split among Indigenous nations within the United States. Divided Peoples asks us to consider the possibilities for challenging settler colonialism both in sociopolitical movements and in scholarship about Indigenous peoples and lands.

    Keywords: Deutschland Österreich ; Migration ; Multikulturalität ; Vielfalt ; Gesellschaft ; Diskriminierung ; Bildung
    Abstract: The contrapuntal readings practiced in the present volume, which are based on different ways of thinking and seeing reality, call into question the sorting and classifications practiced up to now. Migration is not degraded to a collaborative research centre, but is rather seen as a social analysis and placed at the centre of scientific considerations. The focus is on approaches and ideas in which historical developments and global changes are thought from the perspective and experience of migration, without however overlooking the asymmetrical power relations and structural inequalities. The Motto "Migration moves and forms" expresses this attitude. - Die in dem vorliegenden Band praktizierten kontrapunktischen Lesarten, die auf anderen Denk­haltungen und Wirklichkeitsauffassungen beruhen, suspendieren lang eingeübte Sortierungen und Klassifikationen. Migration wird nicht zu einem Sonderforschungs­bereich degradiert, sondern als Gesellschaftsforschung betrachtet und ins Zentrum ­wissenschaftlicher Überlegungen gerückt. Im Mittelpunkt stehen Zugänge und Gedanken, in denen historische Entwicklungen und globalgesellschaftliche Zusammenhänge aus der Perspektive und Erfahrung von Migration ­gedacht werden, ohne jedoch die asym­metrischen Machtverhältnisse und strukturellen Ungleich­heiten zu übersehen. Das Motto "Migration bewegt und bildet" bringt diese Haltung zum Ausdruck.

    Abstract: This book is an appraisal about Christianity from the Kuki tribal perspectives based on C. S. Song's theology of cultures. It is critiquing the present trend of Kuki Christianity that is in western garb at the expense of its culture, in that case even other tribes, too, have no exception. This book attempts to understand the gospel of Christ through the Kuki religious-cultural concepts and not via westernized Christianity with its metaphysical concepts that are in various cases insensible to the natives. A Christianity presented to us by the missionaries was a divided and colonial Christianity packed with western theological outlook. So, Song's theology of cultures is considered more appropriate by the author, to address the religious-cultural grievances of the Kuki people that have been disoriented by the colonial Christianity.

    Abstract: Ruptures brings together leading and emerging international anthropologists to explore the concept of ‘rupture’. Understood as radical and often forceful forms of discontinuity, rupture is the active ingredient of the current sense of a world in turmoil, lying at the heart of some of the most defining experiences of our time: the rise of populist politics, the corollary impulse towards protest and even revolutionary change, as well as moves towards violence and terror, and the responses these moves elicit. Rupture is addressed in selected ethnographic and historical contexts: images of the guillotine in the French revolution; reactions to Trump’s election in the USA; the motivations of young Danes who join ISIS in Syria; ‘butterfly effect’ activism among environmental anarchists in northern Europe; the experiences of political trauma and its ‘repair’ through privately sponsored museums of Mao’s revolution in China; people’s experience of the devastating 2001 earthquake in Gujarat; the ‘inner’ rupture of Protestant faith among Danish nationalist theologians; and the attempt to invent ex nihilo an alphabet for use in Christian prophetic movements in Congo and Angola.

    Keywords: Marokko Islam ; Recht, islamisches ; Familienrecht ; Gesellschaft ; Islamwissenschaft ; Sufismus ; Historiographie
    Abstract: Am Beispiel von islah liefert die Studie einen Beitrag zur Erforschung von islamischen Reformtraditionen in Marokko. Die Untersuchung folgt einem textorientierten, historisierenden Zugang, der Religions- und Rechtsgelehrsamkeit als Teil sozialer und politischer Verhältnisse versteht. Das Spektrum der überlieferten Ausdrucksformen von islah reicht von der Unterweisung in dogmatischen und rituellen Fragen bis zur Durchsetzung von Ruhe und Ordnung auch unter Einsatz von Gewalt. Alle verbinden in unterschiedlicher Weise das Anliegen der Rückkehr zu den Quellen mit fortwährender Erneuerung der moralischen Ordnung des Gemeinwesens und individueller Ermahnung. Die Aufschlüsselung der unterschiedlichen Deutungen von islah liefert zugleich neue Erkenntnisse über Prozesse der Herstellung und Aushandlung gruppen-übergreifender Zugehörigkeit und politischer Legitimität im Übergang von vorkolonialen zu kolonialen Formen der Staatlichkeit in Marokko.

    Abstract: "Aloha" is at once the most significant and the most misunderstood word in the Indigenous Hawaiian lexicon. For Kanaka Maoli people, the concept of "aloha" is a representation and articulation of their identity, despite its misappropriation and commandeering by non-Native audiences in the form of things like the "hula girl" of popular culture. Considering the way aloha is embodied, performed, and interpreted in Native Hawaiian literature, music, plays, dance, drag performance, and even ghost tours from the twentieth century to the present, Stephanie Nohelani Teves shows that misunderstanding of the concept by non-Native audiences has not prevented the Kanaka Maoli from using it to create and empower community and articulate its distinct Indigenous meaning.While Native Hawaiian artists, activists, scholars, and other performers have labored to educate diverse publics about the complexity of Indigenous Hawaiian identity, ongoing acts of violence against Indigenous communities have undermined these efforts. In this multidisciplinary work, Teves argues that Indigenous peoples must continue to embrace the performance of their identities in the face of this violence in order to challenge settler-colonialism and its efforts to contain and commodify Hawaiian Indigeneity.

    Abstract: "Too often Indigenous peoples have been portrayed as being without a future, destined either to disappear or assimilate into settler society. This book asserts quite the opposite: Indigenous peoples are not in any sense "out of time" in our contemporary world. Shaping the Future on Haida Gwaii shows how Indigenous peoples not only continue to have a future, but are at work building many different futures--for themselves and for their nonIndigenous neighbours. Through the experiences of the Haida First Nation, this book explores these possible futures in detail, demonstrating how Haida ways of thinking about time, mobility, and political leadership are at the heart of contemporary strategies for addressing the dilemmas that come with life under settler colonialism."--Back cover.

    Abstract: Ryan Schram explores the experiences of living in intercultural and historical conjunctures among Auhelawa people of Papua New Guinea in Harvests, Feasts, and Graves. In this ethnographic investigation, Schram ponders how Auhelawa question the meaning of social forms and through this questioning seek paths to establish a new sense of their collective self. Harvests, Feasts, and Graves describes the ways in which Auhelawa people, and by extension many others, produce knowledge of themselves as historical subjects in the aftermath of diverse and incomplete encounters with Christianity, capitalism, and Western values. Using the contemporary setting of Papua New Guinea, Schram presents a new take on essential topics and foundational questions of social and cultural anthropology. If, as Marx writes, "the tradition of all dead generations weighs like a nightmare on the brains of the living," Harvests, Feasts, and Graves asks: Which history weighs the most? And how does the weight of history become salient as a ground for subjective consciousness? Taking cues from postcolonial theory and indigenous studies, Schram rethinks the "ontological turn" in anthropology and develops a new way to think about the nature of historical consciousness. Rather than seeing the present as either tragedy or farce, Schram argues that contemporary historical consciousness is produced through reflexive sociality. Like all societies, Auhelawa is located in an intercultural conjuncture, yet their contemporary life is not a story of worlds colliding, but a shattered mirror in which multiple Auhelawa subjectivities are possible.

    Keywords: Humor Witz ; Comic ; Gesellschaft ; Sozialer Aspekt ; Familie ; Beruf ; Geschichte ; Großbritannien ; Australien
    Abstract: First published in 1996, this volume is a sequel to Humour in Society: Resistance and Control which was edited by George E.C. Paton and Chris Powell. Now, seven years later, the culturally central nature of humour seems greater than ever.This collection of original essays critically assesses the practices of humour in various role relationships in a number of social contexts, for example, in the workplace and between family members. A feature of this new volume is the critical analysis of socio-linguistic practices, including the use of jokes and cartoons, to manage tensions in social relationships at the micro- and macro-sociological levels of human interaction. Wider social and cultural issues area also examined by other contributors concerned with alternative comedy and sitcoms in British and Australian society, for example, which along with humour practices are situated by the editors in their introduction to substantiate the value of studying and researching the sociology of humour.

    Le _folklore espagnol, entre ambition fédératrice et utopie républicaine : le modèle populaire d`Antonio Machado y Álvarez (2018)

    Description / Table of Contents: "En 1881, Antonio Machado y Álvarez (1846-1893) s`inspire des modèles européens, en particulier des postulats théoriques et de l`organisation institutionnelle de la Folk-Lore Society, pour promouvoir l`institutionnalisation des savoirs ethnographiques en Espagne. Élevé au sein d`une famille marquée par le patriotisme libéral, l`engagement progressiste et scientifique ? il est le fils de l`introducteur de Darwin en Espagne ?, ce double héritage façonne sa conception de la discipline folklorique et de son approche. Ses convictions républicaines de teinte fédéraliste l`incitent non pas à choisir le modèle de société centralisée des Britanniques, mais à constituer un réseau fédéral de sociétés régionales de folklore, mieux adapté, selon lui, à la réalité culturelle et territoriale espagnole. Son amour du peuple ? son premier nom de plume était Demófilo (l`ami du peuple) ? imprègne également sa démarche méthodologique. Son outil emblématique est la constitution de cartes topographiques traditionnelles qui présentent, à ses yeux, un double avantage : rechercher dans la mémoire traditionnelle les sources d`une histoire plus démocratique, mettre en relation territoire et histoire afin de faire émerger la diversité culturelle territoriale, entendue comme source de cohésion et de régénération. Son ambition fédératrice se traduit aussi sur le front européen, puisqu`il propose à ses condisciples Giuseppe Pitrè, Teófilo Braga et Paul Sébillot le projet de fonder une confédération des sociétés folkloriques des pays latins, envisagée comme contrepoids progressiste et démocratique à la conception de la discipline des Britanniques.Cet ouvrage replace ainsi l`homme, sa trajectoire intellectuelle et son modèle folklorique populaire et idéaliste, tant dans l`histoire culturelle de l`Espagne du XIXe que dans l`histoire des savoirs ethnographiques en Europe."

    Abstract: Puebloan sociocultural formations of the past and present are the subject of the essays collected here. The contributors draw upon the insights of archaeology, ethnology, and linguistic anthropology to examine social history and practice, including kinship groups, ritual sodalities, architectural forms, economic exchange, environmental adaptation, and political order, as well as their patterns of transmission over time and space. The result is a window onto how major Puebloan societies came to be and how they have changed over time. As an interdisciplinary conjunction, Puebloan Societies demonstrates the value of reengagement among anthropological subfields too often isolated from one another. The volume is an analytical whole greater than the sum of its parts: a new synthesis in this fascinating region of human cultural history.

    Abstract: The Owners of Kinship investigates how kinship in Indigenous Amazonia is derived from the asymmetrical relation between an "owner" and his or her dependents. Through a comprehensive ethnography of the Kanamari, Luiz Costa shows how this relationship is centered around the bond created between the feeder and the fed. Building on anthropological studies of the acquisition, distribution, and consumption of food and its role in establishing relations of asymmetrical mutuality and kinship, this book breaks theoretical ground for studies in Amazonia and beyond. By investigating how the feeding relation traverses Kanamari society from the relation between women and the pets they raise, shaman and familiar spirit, mother and child, chiefs and followers, to those between the Brazilian state and the Kanamari The Owners of Kinship reveals how the mutuality of kinship is determined by the asymmetry of ownership.

    Keywords: Frankreich Deutschland ; Europa ; Gesellschaft ; Soziale Bedingungen ; Konflikt, politischer ; Rechtsradikalismus ; Propaganda ; Populismus ; Jihad ; Fundamentalismus, islamischer ; Terrorismus ; Islamophobie
    Abstract: Durch die französische Gesellschaft zieht sich ein Bruch, der sich auch in dem Zuspruch ausdrückt, den der rechtsradikale Front National erfährt. Maßgeblich dazu beigetragen hat der islamistische Terror, der in Frankreich bis jetzt 239 Opfer gefordert hat. Der Soziologe und Islamwissenschaftler Gilles Kepel analysiert seit Jahren den islamistischen Terrorismus und seine politischen und sozialen Ursachen und erläutert in seinem neuen Buch, dass es das Ziel dieser mörderischen Provokationen ist, die Gesellschaft in einen Bürgerkrieg zu treiben. Dafür versuchen die Dschihadisten, die französischen Muslime einzuspannen, die sich durch die wachsende »Islamophobie« in der Gesellschaft immer mehr in die Enge getrieben fühlen. Die Politiker, die mit der Bedrohung durch den Islamismus vor der anstehenden Wahl Propaganda machen, gehen damit den Terroristen in die Falle. Gilles Kepel erklärt die Zusammenhänge und plädiert für ein Engagement der aufgeklärten Bürger, sich nicht in diese falsche Konfrontation treiben zu lassen.

    Abstract: Künstlerisches und ästhetisches Handeln führt nicht nur zu bestimmten Werken, wie etwa den Kunstwerken, sondern kann auch selbst Wissen produzieren und weitergeben. Im europäischen Kanon des Wissens und der Wissenschaften sind ästhetische Praktiken aus dem Blick geraten. Um die Wissensdimension dieser ästhetischen Praktiken wieder sichtbar und anwendbar zu machen, behandeln die Beiträge dieses Bandes sie sowohl als Gegenstände wie auch als mögliche Methoden einer kulturwissenschaftlichen Forschung. Ästhetische Praxis umfasst dabei nicht allein die als künstlerisch bezeichneten Praktiken, sondern auch Praktiken des Alltags und der Populärkultur. Die Beobachtung und Erforschung ästhetischer Praxis erlaubt es so, die vielfältigen Dimensionen und Zusammenhänge aktueller gesellschaftlicher Entwicklungen nachzuvollziehen.

    Abstract: Part of the 'Religion and Citizenship' series, this book is an ethnographic study of marginality of Muslims in urban India. It explores the realities and consequences of socio-spatial segregation faced by Muslim communities and the various ways in which they negotiate it in the course of their everyday lives. By narrating lived experiences of ordinary Muslims, the author attempts to construct their identities as citizens and subjects. What emerges is a highly variegated picture of a group (otherwise viewed as monolithic) that resides in very close quarters, more as a result of compulsion than choice, despite wide differences across language, ethnicity, sect and social class. The book also looks into the potential outcomes that socio-spatial segregation spelt on communal lines hold for the future of the urban landscape in South Asia. Rich in ethnographic data and accessible in its approach, this book will be useful for scholars and researchers of sociology, social anthropology, human geography, political sociology, urban studies and political science.

    Abstract: This in-depth description of life in a nursing/care home for 70 residents and 40 staff highlights the daily care of frail or ill residents between 80 and 100 years of age, including people suffering with dementia. How residents interact with care assistants is emphasised, as are the different behaviours of men and women observed during a year of daily conversations between the author, patients and staff, who share their stories of the pressures of the work. Living Before Dying shows a world where, in extreme old age, people have to learn how to cope with living communally.

    Keywords: Ethik Moral ; Philosophie ; Soziales Leben ; Sozialgeschichte ; Kulturvergleich
    Abstract: The human propensity to take an ethical stance toward oneself and others is found in every known society, yet we also know that values taken for granted in one society can contradict those in another. Does ethical life arise from human nature itself? Is it a universal human trait? Or is it a product of one's cultural and historical context? Webb Keane offers a new approach to the empirical study of ethical life that reconciles these questions, showing how ethics arise at the intersection of human biology and social dynamics. Drawing on the latest findings in psychology, conversational interaction, ethnography, and history, Ethical Life takes readers from inner city America to Samoa and the Inuit Arctic to reveal how we are creatures of our biology as well as our history--and how our ethical lives are contingent on both. Keane looks at Melanesian theories of mind and the training of Buddhist monks, and discusses important social causes such as the British abolitionist movement and American feminism. He explores how styles of child rearing, notions of the person, and moral codes in different communities elaborate on certain basic human tendencies while suppressing or ignoring others. Certain to provoke debate, Ethical Life presents an entirely new way of thinking about ethics, morals, and the factors that shape them.

    Abstract: "The Gift of Knowledge / Ttnuwit Atawish Nch'inch'imamí is a treasure trove of material for those interested in Native American culture. Author Virginia Beavert grew up in a traditional, Indian-speaking household. Both her parents and her maternal grandmother were shamans, and her childhood was populated by people who spoke tribal dialects and languages: Nez Perce, Umatilla, Klikatat, and Yakima Ichishkíin. Her work on Native languages began at age twelve, when she met linguist Melville Jacobs while working for his student, Margaret Kendell. When Jacobs realized that Beavert was a fluent speaker of the Klikatat language, he taught her to read and write the orthography he had developed to record Klikatat myths.

    Abstract: Highly innovative and theoretically incisive, Two Lenins is the first book-length anthropological examination of how social reality can be organized around different yet concurrent ideas of time. Nikolai Ssorin-Chaikov grounds his theoretical exploration in fascinating ethnographic and historical material on two Lenins: the first is the famed Soviet leader of the early twentieth century, and the second is a Siberian Evenki hunter—nicknamed "Lenin"—who experienced the collapse of the USSR during the 1990s. Through their intertwined stories, Ssorin-Chaikov unveils new dimensions of ethnographic reality by multiplying our notions of time.Ssorin-Chaikov examines Vladimir Lenin at the height of his reign in 1920s Soviet Russia, focusing especially on his relationship with American businessperson Armand Hammer. He casts this scene against the second Lenin—the hunter on the far end of the country, in Siberia, at the far end of the century, the 1990s, who is tasked with improvising postsocialism in the economic and political uncertainties of post-Soviet transition. Moving from Moscow to Siberia to New York, and traveling form the 1920s to the 1960s to the 1990`s, Ssorin-Chaikov takes readers beyond a simple global history or cross-temporal comparison, instead using these two figures to enact an ethnographic study of the very category of time that we use to bridge different historical contexts.
