    Abstract: With the development of new direct interfaces between the human brain and computer systems, the time has come for an in-depth ethical examination of the way these neuronal interfaces may support an interaction between the mind and cyberspace.In so doing, this book does not hesitate to blend disciplines including neurobiology, philosophy, anthropology and politics. It also invites society, as a whole, to seek a path in the use of these interfaces enabling humanity to prosper while avoiding the relevant risks. As such, the volume is the first extensive study in cyberneuroethics, a subject matter which is certain to have a significant impact in the 21st century and beyond. (Verlagsangaben)

    Abstract: For Haredi Jews, reproduction is entangled with issues of health, bodily governance and identity. This is an analysis of the ways in which Haredi Jews negotiate healthcare services using theoretical perspectives in political philosophy. It is the first archival and ethnographic study of Haredi Jews in the UK and sits at the intersection of medical anthropology, social history and Jewish studies. It will allow readers to understand how reproductive care issues affect this growing minority population. (Verlagsangaben)

    Abstract: Post-Socialist Urban Infrastructures critically elaborates on often forgotten, but some of the most essential, aspects of contemporary urban life, namely infrastructures, and links them to a discussion of post-socialist transformation.As the skeletons of cities, infrastructures capture the ways in which urban environments are assembled and urban lives unfold. Focusing on post-socialist cities, marked by neoliberalisation, polarisation and hybridity, this book offers new and enriching perspectives on urban infrastructures by centering on the often marginalised aspects of urban research-transport, green spaces, and water and heating provision.Featuring cases from West and East alike, the book covers examples from Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Serbia, Croatia, Germany, Russia, Georgia, Lithuania, Poland, the Czech Republic, Tajikistan, and India. It provides original insights into the infrastructural back end of post-socialist cities for scholars, planners and activists interested in urban geography, cultural and social anthropology, and urban studies.

    Abstract: Across the Western world, full membership of society is established through entitlements to space and formalized in the institutions of property and citizenship. Those without such entitlements are deemed less than fully human as they struggle to find a place where they can symbolically and physically exist. Written by an anthropologist who accidentally found herself homeless, The Ethics of Space is an unprecedented account of what happens when homeless people organize to occupy abandoned properties.Set against the backdrop of economic crisis, austerity, and a disintegrating British state, Steph Grohmann tells the story of a flourishing squatter community in the city of Bristol and how it was eventually outlawed by the state. The first ethnography of homelessness done by a researcher who was formally homeless throughout fieldwork, this volume explores the intersection between spatial existence, subjectivity, and ethics. The result is a book that rethinks how ethical views are shaped and constructed through our own spatial existences. (Verlagsangaben)

    Abstract: This collection highlights a key metaphor in contemporary discourse about economy and society. The contributors explore how references to reality and the real economy are linked both to the utopias of collective well-being, supported by real monies and good economies, and the dystopias of financial bubbles and busts, in which people`s own lives "crash" along with the reality of their economies.An ambitious anthropology of economy, this volume questions how assemblages of vernacular and scientific realizations and enactments of the economy are linked to ideas of truth and moral value; how these multiple and shifting realities become present and entangle with historically and socially situated lives; and how the formal realizations of the concept of the "real" in the governance of economies engage with the experiential lives of ordinary people. Featuring essays from some of the world`s most prominent economic anthropologists, The Real Economy is a milestone collection in economic anthropology that crosses disciplinary boundaries and adds new life to social studies of the economy.

    Abstract: The global demand for water has been increasing at a rate of about 1% per year over the past decades as a function of population growth, economic development and changing consumption patterns, among other factors, and it will continue to grow significantly over the foreseeable future. Industrial and domestic demand for water will increase much faster than agricultural demand, although agriculture will remain the largest user overall. The vast majority of the growth in demand for water will occur in countries with developing or emerging economies.At the same time, the global water cycle is intensifying due to climate change, with wetter regions generally becoming wetter and drier regions becoming even drier. Other global changes (e.g., urbanisation, de-forestation, intensification of agriculture) add to these challenges.The United Nations World Water Development Report, Nature-based Solutions for Water, launched 19 March 2018 during the 8th World Water Forum, and in conjunction to the World Water Day, demonstrates how nature-based solutions (NBS) offer a vital means of moving beyond business-as-usual to address many of the world`s water challenges while simultaneously delivering additional benefits vital to all aspects of sustainable development.NBS use or mimic natural processes to enhance water availability (e.g., soil moisture retention, groundwater recharge), improve water quality (e.g., natural and constructed wetlands, riparian buffer strips), and reduce risks associated with water-related disasters and climate change (e.g., floodplain restoration, green roofs).Currently, water management remains heavily dominated by traditional, human-built (i.e. `grey`) infrastructure and the enormous potential for NBS remains under-utilized. NBS include green infrastructure that can substitute, augment or work in parallel with grey infrastructure in a cost-effective manner. The goal is to find the most appropriate blend of green and grey investments to maximize benefits and system efficiency while minimizing costs and trade-offs.

    Abstract: In recent years, historical witnessing has emerged as a category of "museum object." Audiovisual recordings of interviews with individuals remembering events of historical importance are now integral to the collections and research activities of museums. They have also become important components in narrative and exhibition design strategies. With a focus on Holocaust museums, this study scrutinizes for the first time the new global phenomenon of the "musealization" of the witness to history, exploring the processes, prerequisites, and consequences of the transformation of video testimonies into exhibits.

    Abstract: In anthropology as much as in popular imagination, kings are figures of fascination and intrigue, heroes or tyrants in ways presidents and prime ministers can never be. This collection of essays by two of the world`s most distinguished anthropologistsDavid Graeber and Marshall Sahlinsexplores what kingship actually is, historically and anthropologically. As they show, kings are symbols for more than just sovereignty: indeed, the study of kingship offers a unique window into fundamental dilemmas concerning the very nature of power, meaning, and the human condition.Reflecting on issues such as temporality, alterity, and utopianot to mention the divine, the strange, the numinous, and the bestialGraeber and Sahlins explore the role of kings as they have existed around the world, from the BaKongo to the Aztec to the Shilluk and beyond. Richly delivered with the wit and sharp analysis characteristic of Graeber and Sahlins, this book opens up new avenues for the anthropological study of this fascinating and ubiquitous political figure.

    Abstract: Gary R. Bunt is a twenty-year pioneer in the study of cyber-Islamic environments (CIEs). In this new book, he explores the diverse and surprising ways digital technology is shaping how Muslims across vast territories relate to religious authorities in fulfilling spiritual, mystical, and legalistic agendas. From social networks to websites, essential elements of religious practices and authority now have representation online. Muslims, embracing the immediacy and general accessibility of the internet, are increasingly turning to cyberspace for advice and answers to important religious questions. Online environments often challenge traditional models of authority, however. One result is the rise of digitally literate religious scholars and authorities whose influence and impact go beyond traditional boundaries of imams, mullahs, and shaikhs. Bunt shows how online rhetoric and social media are being used to articulate religious faith by many different kinds of Muslim organizations and individuals, from Muslim comedians and women's rights advocates to jihad-oriented groups, such as the ""Islamic State"" and al-Qaeda, which now clearly rely on strategic digital media policies to augment and justify their authority and draw recruits. This book makes clear that understanding CIEs is crucial for the holistic interpretation of authority in contemporary Islam.

    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.

    Abstract: Trust occupies a unique place in contemporary discourse. Seen as both necessary and virtuous, it is variously depicted as enhancing the social fabric, lowering crime rates, increasing happiness, and generating prosperity. It allows for complex political systems, permits human communication, underpins financial instruments and economic institutions, and generally holds society together. Against these overwhelmingly laudable qualities, mistrust often goes unnoticed as a positive social phenomenon, treated as little more than a corrosive absence, a mere negative of trust itself. With this book, Matthew Carey proposes an ethnographic and conceptual exploration of mistrust that raises it up as legitimate stance in its own right. While mistrust can quickly ruin relationships and even dissolve extensive social ties, Carey shows that it might have other values. Drawing on fieldwork in Morocco's High Atlas Mountains as well as comparative material from regions stretching from Eastern Europe to Melanesia, he examines the impact of mistrust on practices of conversation and communication, friendship and society, and politics and cooperation. In doing so, he demonstrates that trust is not the only basis for organizing human society and cooperating with others. The result is a provocative but enlightening work that makes us rethink social issues such as suspicion, doubt, and uncertainty.

    Abstract: The project " Multi-dimensional food and nutrition security in Amhara ", carried out by Welthungerhilfe and the Ethiopian non-governmental organisation ORDA (Organization for Rehabilitation and Development in Amhara), works in three woredas (districts) in the highlands of Northern Ethiopia. Around 10,400 smallholder households, or a total of 50,000 people, benefit from the project measures. The project addresses the problem of food security in the region from several angles. On the one hand, agricultural production is increased and thus more food is produced directly on the smallholder farm. Erosion control, compost formation, irrigation and other measures help to sustainably increase agricultural production. Instead of just one harvest a year previously in rainfed agriculture, small farmers can now achieve up to three harvests a year. On the other hand, improved storage models are made available in order to mini- mise the high post-harvest losses. A third area of intervention is the further training of men and women in improved hygiene and nutrition, combined with gender training. Participation in the project has led to a quantitative and qualitative improvement in nutrition and a higher income for all families surveyed in this study. The introduction of savings and credit groups helps people to use their additional income profitably. The additional income is first invested in the education and care of the children. In addition to the economic impact of the project, the farmers also appreciate its social effects, which have increased the standing of poor families and strengthened cohesion in the community

    Abstract: Bronislaw Malinowski's path-breaking research in the Trobriand Islands shaped much of modern anthropology's disciplinary paradigm. Yet many conundrums remain. For example, Malinowski asserted that baloma spirits of the dead were responsible for procreation but had limited influence on their living descendants in magic and other matters, claims largely unchallenged by subsequent field investigators, until now. Based on extended fieldwork at Omarakana village home of the Tabalu "Paramount Chief" Mark S. Mosko argues instead that these and virtually all contexts of indigenous sociality are conceived as sacrificial reciprocities between the mirror worlds that baloma and humans inhabit. Informed by a synthesis of Strathern's model of "dividual personhood" and Levy-Bruhl's theory of "participation," Mosko upends a century of discussion and debate extending from Malinowski to anthropology's other leading thinkers. His account of the intimate interdependencies of humans and spirits in the cosmic generation and coordination of "life" (momova) and "death" (kaliga) strikes at the nexus of anthropology's received wisdom, and Ways of Baloma will inevitably lead practitioners and students to reflect anew on the discipline's multifold theories of personhood, ritual agency, and sociality.

    Abstract: Cities and urban life have become more and more important on the African continent. Between 1995 and 2015, Africa`s urban growth rate has been the highest in the world, over ten times faster than in Europe. With an average annual 3.4% population growth between 1995 and 2015, African cities had the highest urbanization growth rate worldwide (UNHABITAT 2016: 7). While being aware of the significance of changing urban environments, policy and development paths, the contributions of this volume focus on different aspects. Instead of examining structural transformations, the authors examine what it means to live in a city and how it is possible to study these experiences. It is necessary to keep in mind that neither numbers on urban development rates nor data on the rising average income of city dwellers can describe the meaningfulness of life in African cities. But what is the relation of "The Metropolis and Mental Life" (Simmel 1971 [1903]) and can we find a special way of "Urbanism as a way of life" (Wirth 1938) in 21st century African settings? If we can answer these questions positively, how can we understand the specific qualities of life in African cities? To answer these and more questions, the proposed volume aims to examine aspects of living in African cities from an interdisciplinary point of view with a focus on qualitative approaches. By considering the hows and whys in several settings - Nairobi, Khartoum, Addis Ababa and Dar es Salaam - the texts collected here want to give a more precise description by qualitative account and not by quantitative research: The contributions study social groups, actors including practices and influences such as politics that shape contemporary African cities and urban spaces. They also raise methodological questions regarding research on living in African cities. The different approaches to practices, politics, city dwellers and their cities complement each other and open new analytical perspectives to study the dynamics and the fluid processes of living in urban Africa. This reciprocal relationship of cities and their residents in the African context also discloses differentiations in power relations, lifestyles and milieus, which influence mechanisms of inclusion and exclusion in the everyday life of urban spaces.

    Abstract: What if we were to consider the vast quantities of domestic, agricultural and industrial wastewater discharged into the environment everyday as a valuable resource rather than costly problem? This is the paradigm shift advocated in the United Nations World Water Development Report, Wastewater: the Untapped Resource, launched 22 March 2017 on on the occasion of World Water Day.A large proportion of wastewater is still released into the environment without being either collected or treated. This is particularly true in low-income countries, which on average only treat 8 % of domestic and industrial wastewater, compared to 70% in high-income countries. As a result, in many regions of the world, water contaminated by bacteria, nitrates, phosphates and solvents is discharged into rivers and lakes ending up in the oceans, with negative consequences for the environment and public health. The volume of wastewater to be treated will rise considerably in the near future especially in cities in developing countries with rapidly growing populations. "Wastewater generation is one of the biggest challenges associated with the growth of informal settlements (slums) in the developing world.

    Abstract: This book thinks through modernity and its representations by exploring critical considerations of time and space. Drawing on anthropology, history and social theory, it investigates the oppositions and enchantments, the contradictions and contentions, and the identities and ambivalences spawned under modernity. Crucially, it understands these antinomies not as errors, but as constitutive elements of modern worlds. The book questions routine portrayals of homogeneous time and antinomian blueprints of cultural space, while acknowledging the production of time and space by social subjects. Instead of assuming a straightforward, singular trajectory for the phenomena, it views modernity as involving checkered, contingent and contended processes of meaning and power, which have found heterogeneous historical elaborations over the past five centuries. Bringing together past and present, theory and narrative, it sows the historical, ethnographic and methodological deep into its critical procedures, offering an innovative understanding of cultural identities and imaginatively exploring the relationship between history and anthropology.

    Abstract: "The art of life and death" explores how the world appears to people who have an acute perspective on it: those who are close to death. Based on extensive ethnographic research, Andrew Irving brings to life the lived experiences, imaginative lifeworlds, and existential concerns of persons confronting their own mortality and non-being. Encompassing twenty years of working alongside persons living with HIV/AIDS in New York, Irving documents the radical but often unspoken and unvoiced transformations in perception, knowledge, and understanding that people experience in the face of death. By bringing an "experience-near" ethnographic focus to the streams of inner dialogue, imagination, and aesthetic expression that are central to the experience of illness and everyday life, this monograph offers a theoretical, ethnographic, and methodological contribution to the anthropology of time, finitude, and the human condition. With relevance well-beyond the disciplinary boundaries of anthropology, this book ultimately highlights the challenge of capturing the inner experience of human suffering and hope that affect us all of the trauma of the threat of death and the surprise of continued life.

    Abstract: The thrust of this issue of BIGSASWorks! is to reflect on some of the stories of translations that come from Africa and point up what they say about existing theories of translation. Contributions include reflections on the cultural and linguistic questions arising from the translations of Senegalese (Wolof) literature in French (back-) translated into Wolof, as well as those translated into German. Other contributions include studies of implicitation in the translation of Hemingway`s "Hills like white elephant" into Lubukusu, a Kenyan language, and a sociological study of religious translations between English and Igbo, spoken in Nigeria. These essays not only explore translations into African and European languages of African literature in European languages, they also focus on less studied languages like Lubukusu, thereby fronting what contributions these stories make to the narratives at the center. What is more, the bi-lingual (English and German) nature of the essays and the different African countries covered further make them appealing to a wider audience.

    Abstract: Urbanisation in Bahir Dar, Ethiopia, poses challenges to urban living conditions. Despite large scale housing programmes from the side of the government, construction and settling processes have largely remained incremental. Nadine Appelhans focuses on the relation between statutory planning and practices of everyday urbanisation. The findings from Bahir Dar suggest that some mundane regimes of building the city are patronised, while others are considered undesired by policy makers. Based on this insight, the author argues that urban development in Bahir Dar needs to be locally grounded, differentiated and inclusive to avoid further tendencies of segregation.

    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 hunternicknamed "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 Leninthe 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.

    Abstract: What do we mean when we refer to world? How does the world relate to the human person? Are the two interdependent and, if so, in what way? What does world mean for an ethnographer or an anthropologist? Much has been said of worlds and worldviews, but do we really know what we mean by these words? Asking these questions and many more, this book explores the conditions of possibility of the ethnographic gesture, and how these shed light on the relationship between humans and the world in the midst of which they find themselves.As Pina-Cabral shows, recent decades have seen important shifts in the way we relate human thought to human embodimentthe relation between how we think and what we are. The book proposes a novel approach to the human condition: an anthropological outlook that is centered around the notions of personhood and sociality. Through a rich confrontation with ethnographic and historical material, this work contributes to the ongoing task of overcoming the theoretical constraints that have hindered anthropological thinking over the past century.

    Abstract: Three out of four of the jobs worldwide are water-dependent. In fact, water shortages and lack of access may limit economic growth in the years to come, according to the 2016 United Nations World Water Development Report, Water and Jobs, launched on 22 March 2016, World Water Day, in Geneva.From its collection, through various uses, to its ultimate return to the natural environment, water is a key factor in the development of job opportunities either directly related to its management (supply, infrastructure, wastewater treatment, etc.) or in economic sectors that are heavily water-dependent such as agriculture, fishing, power, industry and health. Furthermore, good access to drinking water and sanitation promotes an educated and healthy workforce, which constitutes an essential factor for sustained economic growth.In its analysis of the economic impact of access to water, the report cites numerous studies that show a positive correlation between investments in the water sector and economic growth. It also highlights the key role of water in the transition to a green economy.

    Abstract: Bhutan, das letzte buddhistische Königreich im Himalaya, konnte durch seine abgeschiedene Gebirgslage, die zurückhaltende Außenpolitik und die Grundprinzipien des Buddhismus bis heute eine beachtenswerte Textilkunst bewahren, die mit allen Aspekten des Lebens verwoben ist.Karin Altmann stellt Bhutans Textilien in ihrer Vielfalt vor: sie sind Kleidung und Alltagsobjekt, Währung und Handelsware, markieren als Geschenke wichtige Ereignisse im Laufe eines Lebens und bezeugen den sozialen Status einer Person. Sie sind aber auch integraler Bestandteil bei sakralen Festen, Tänzen und Ritualen, gewähren einen Einblick in die mystische und religiöse Weltanschauung der bhutanischen Bevölkerung und reflektieren zugleich die Konzeption von Gender in der bhutanischen Gesellschaft. Das Buch erzählt so auch die Geschichte eines Landes, das in einer globalisierten Welt sensibel nach einer Balance zwischen Tradition und Fortschritt sucht.Bhutan, the last remaining Buddhist Himalayan Kingdom, has been able to preserve a remarkable textile art which is woven into all aspects of life and signifies the merging between art and spirituality. This is due to Bhutan's remote mountainous location with its natural borders, a deliberate external policy and the basic principles of Buddhist ethics. Bhutanese textiles are clothing and everyday object, tax, currency and commodity, gifts marking important events in the course of a life, and demonstrate the social status of a person as a sign of prestige and prosperity. Textiles are a symbol of national identity as well as a proof of the regional diversity within the country. They are an expression of religious devotion, serve to distinguish and decorate sacred places and are an integral part of Buddhist and pre-Buddhist rituals as well as religious festivals and dances, which awaken Buddhist mythology to life and again express the symbiotic relationship between art and spirituality. Bhutanese textiles are products of traditional knowledge of fiber production, dyeing, weaving, sewing, applique and embroidery. They provide an insight into the mystical and religious beliefs of the Bhutanese population, reflect the complementary but separate worlds of women and men and give a dimension to the Bhutanese concept of gender. Bhutanese textiles give an account of the changing fashions of the Bhutanese society and external influences. And finally they tell the story of a country that sensitively seeks a balance between tradition and progress in a globalized world.

    Abstract: After more than eighty years of research, the Indus Civilization (ca. 2600-1900 BC) remains largely enigmatic. The terracotta figurines are one of the largest and richest sources of information regarding Indus ideology and society. Unfortunately, the figurines have often been considered selectively without evaluating their archaeological or socio-cultural contexts, resulting in biased interpretations that ignore the richness and diversity of the figurine corpus. I contend that figurines must be viewed as media of communication in their original social contexts rather than as naturalistic reflections. My research examines the figurines from the urban site of Harappa (ca. 3300-1700 BC) as reflections of the underlying structures of Indus society and cultural change, focusing on figurines from secure dated archaeological contexts. The figurines are viewed as artifacts whose "social lives" can be at least partially reconstructed through systematic analyses of stylistic and technological attributes and spatial and temporal contexts (usually fill or trash deposits). Comparisons with ethnographic data, historic texts, and contemporary ancient societies also inform these interpretations. My research suggests that: (1) the figurine corpus is quite diverse, including anthropomorphic, zoomorphic, and special form figurines; (2) the figurines were intentionally hand-modeled (rather than molded) by craftspeople (rather than children); (3) the figurines reflect fluid concepts of sex and gender and possibly dualism and balance; (4) the corpus was NOT dominated by highly decorated female figurines that represented a supreme Indus "Mother Goddess" and functioned as votive "anthropomorphic lamps"; and (5) the unique choices made in the construction of the figurines and the diversity of the figurine corpus itself represent a rich religious ideology that included transformation and reverence, probably cultic ritual and sympathetic magic, and possibly even shamanism, but not Hinduism. This study presents the first empirical tests of some long-held interpretations about the Indus figurines and the first provisional chronological typology for figurines from an Indus site. This chronological ordering demonstrates some continuity in traits over time that may reflect the maintenance of underlying indigenous core traditions of the region despite adaptations to a dominant culture, therefore exploring questions of indigenous development and acculturation, as well as expressions of Indus identity.

    Abstract: Focusing on the lived experience of immigration policy and processes, this volume provides fascinating insights into the deportation process as it is felt and understood by those subjected to it. The author presents a rich and innovative ethnography of deportation and deportability experienced by migrants convicted of criminal offenses in England and Wales. The unique perspectives developed here - on due process in immigration appeals, migrant surveillance and control, social relations and sense of self, and compliance and resistance - are important for broader understandings of border control policy and human rights.

    Abstract: Um das Jahr 2010 haben viele Staaten Afrikas südlich der Sahara ein halbes Jahrhundert politischer Unabhängigkeit gefeiert. Dieser Text zieht eine Bilanz dieser fünfzig Jahre und formuliert Perspektiven auf zukünftige Herausforderungen. Ursprünglich auf Deutsch als Einleitung zu einem einschlägigen Sammelband geschrieben (Bierschenk und Spies 2012), gibt er eine Zusammenschau der Entwicklungen der letzten fünfzig Jahre in Bereichen wie Ökonomie, Religion, Kulturproduktion oder Politik. Dabei wird deutlich, dass vielschichtige Verdichtungs-, Differenzierungs- und Transformationsprozesse dazu geführt haben, dass afrikanische Gesellschaften heute bedeutend komplexer und diverser sind als zu der Zeit, als die Staaten politisch unabhängig wurden und dass afrikanische Akteure heute global deutlich sichtbarer sind als vor 50 Jahren. Dennoch erweist sich das Gewicht des Jahres 1960 für eine sinnvolle Periodisierung der afrikanischen Geschichte des 20. Jahrhunderts als begrenzt: Die Bedeutung der formalen Unabhängigkeit verblasst hinter dem fortdauernden Gewicht der Kolonialzeit und dem "afrikanischen Frühling", also den Liberalisierungs- und Demokratisierungsprozessen der Jahre um 1990. In den meisten Ländern Afrikas sind die in der Kolonialzeit verankerten Strukturen kolonialer Rentenökonomien bis heute erstaunlich stabil geblieben. Diese Stabilität kontrastiert allerdings auffällig mit den gesellschaftlichen Dynamiken, die zeitgenössische afrikanische Gesellschaften auszeichnen und gerät in zunehmenden Widerspruch zuden vielfältigen Versuchen, sich von Entwicklungsdefinitionen und politischen Modellen des Globalen Nordens und der eigenen Eliten zu lösen. Dieses Streben nach "diskursiver Souveränität" zeigt sich insbesondere in vielen Bereichen der Kulturproduktion

    Abstract: Kultur ist ein zentraler Begriff der Ethnologie, der längst auch in die Selbstinterpretationen der gesellschaftlichen Akteure einge wandert ist. Hier dominiert meist ein kulturrelativistisches Verständnis von Kultur "im Plural", als Kulturen, geschlossene Systeme von Werten, Normen und Weltsichten, die menschliches Handeln determinieren. Wie sollen Ethnologen damit umgehen, dass ein Kernkonzept der eigenen Wissenschaft in der politischen Öffentlichkeit quasi naturalisiert wird? Wie können sie auf die umfassende Kulturalisierung der Forschungsperspektiven benachbarter wissenschaftlicher Disziplinen reagieren, wo sich die Spannbreite des Kulturbegriffs oft so ausgeweitet hat, dass er an Prägnanz verliert, weil alles "Kultur" zu sein scheint. Lässt sich dennoch - und wenn ja, auf welche Weise - Kultur als analytische Kategorie bewahren und weiter entwickeln? Der Aufsatz ruft zunächst einige Stationen der Geschichte des klassisch-ethnologischen Kulturkonzepts und der Kritik an ihm in Erinnerung. Dann skizziert er, warum Ethnologen an Kultur als zentralem Begriff ihres Fachs festhalten sollten und welche Herausforderungen sich bei seiner post-essentialistischen Reformulierung stellen.
    Note: Keywords: culture, cultural relativism, social anthropology, history of anthropology, postcolonial theory, politics of difference, social boundaries, Franz Boas, Talcott Parsons, Clifford Geertz.

    Abstract: Nairobi is one of the most prominent examples of a "heavily compartmentalised" 1 and "fragmented city", 2 drawn up by colonial urban planners to mirror the idea of a racially segregated society. However, religious affiliation has been equally important in the categorization of people living in Nairobi and its surrounding areas during the colonial period. Members of the colonial troops, being mostly of African Muslim origin, were classified as `detribalized` natives, assumingly having lost their connection to the native reserve. They were therefore settled in the urban surroundings of Nairobi, on a military ground called `Kibera`. To date, Kibera has grown into a multi-ethnic, multi-religious informal settlement. The paper examines how ethnicity, religion and space are ordering principles and building blocks of identity and belonging in Kibera, now allegedly turned Africa`s biggest slum. The example at hand is the Nubian community, descendants of black African Muslim colonial soldiers, who call this settlement their `ancestral home`. 3 On the basis of empirical findings on Nubian wedding festivities and negotiations around the Muslim cemetery in Kibera, the paper aims to show the production and intertwining of gendered, sacred, secular, public and private space as well as the performance of identity and belonging among the Nubian community in Kibera, Kenya.

    Abstract: Das Kulung zählt zu den Jarawan Bantu Sprachen, einer Untergruppe der Benue-Congo Sprachfamilie, einem Zweig des Niger-Congo. Die umfangreiche Wortliste mit vielen Beispielsätzen, die wir hier vorstellen, stammt aus der Feder von Dr. Ira E. McBride, einem Missionar der Sudan United Mission (S.U.M.), der von 1923 bis 1962 in Bambur, Taraba State, in Nord-Nigeria tätig war. Die Zusammenstellung des Vokabulars und damit verbunden die Verschriftlichung des Kulung waren wesentlicher Bestandteil der Bemühungen der Missionare, das Christentum und seine Schriften den Kulung in deren Muttersprache näher zu bringen. Auch wenn die Aufzeichnungen McBrides modernen linguistischen Standards nicht ganz genügen, so sollten sie dennoch allgemein zugänglich sein. Zum einen steht bis dato noch kein ähnlich umfangreiches Vokabular für das Kulung zur Verfügung, zum anderen dürften McBrides lexikalische Aufzeichnungen aus den30er Jahren des vorigen Jahrhunderts allein schon wegen ihres Alters für zeitgenössische Studien zum Kulung und seiner Sprachgeschichte von Interesse sein. Es war uns ein wesentliches Anliegen, die sprachlichen Aufzeichnungen zum Kulung und seinen Autor in ihrem historisch-geographischen und kulturellen Kontext zu präsentieren. Die detaillierte Einleitung enthält dementsprechend biographische Angaben zu Ira McBride, dokumentiert in einer Übersicht die missionarischen Aktivitäten der S.U.M. in der Region, und erläutert mit ethnographische Angaben zu den Kulung den kulturellen Hintergrund. Historische Fotos ergänzen den Text.

    Abstract: Whether it's childhood make-believe, the theater, sports, or even market speculation, play is one of humanity's seemingly purest activities: a form of entertainment and leisure and a chance to explore the world and its possibilities in an imagined environment or construct. But as Roberte Hamayon shows in this book, play has implications that go even further than that. Exploring play's many dimensions, she offers an insightful look at why play has become so ubiquitous across human cultures. Hamayon begins by zeroing in on Mongolia and Siberia, where communities host national holiday games similar to the Olympics. Within these events Hamayon explores the performance of ethical values and local identity, and then she draws her analysis into larger ideas examinations of the spectrum of play activities as they can exist in any culture. She explores facets of play such as learning, interaction, emotion, strategy, luck, and belief, and she emphasizes the crucial ambiguity between fiction and reality that is at the heart of play as a phenomenon. Revealing how consistent and coherent play is, she ultimately shows it as a unique modality of action that serves an invaluable role in the human experience. (Verlagsangaben)

    Abstract: Contextualizing Disaster offers a comparative analysis of six recent "highly visible" disasters and several slow-burning, "hidden," crises that include typhoons, tsunamis, earthquakes, chemical spills, and the unfolding consequences of rising seas and climate change. The book argues that, while disasters are increasingly represented by the media as unique, exceptional, newsworthy events, it is a mistake to think of disasters as isolated or discrete occurrences. Rather, building on insights developed by political ecologists, this book makes a compelling argument for understanding disasters as transnational and global phenomena. (Verlagsangaben)

    Abstract: Recent literature has identified modern "parenting" as an expert-led practice-one which begins with pre-pregnancy decisions, entails distinct types of intimate relationships, places intense burdens on mothers and increasingly on fathers too. Exploring within diverse historical and global contexts how men and women make-and break-relations between generations when becoming parents, this volume brings together innovative qualitative research by anthropologists, historians, and sociologists. The chapters focus tightly on inter-generational transmission and demonstrate its importance for understanding how people become parents and rear children. (Verlagsangaben)

    Abstract: Written in the early 1970s amidst widespread debate over the causes of gender inequality, Marilyn Strathern s "Before and After Gender" was intended as a widely accessible analysis of gender as a powerful cultural code and sex as a defining mythology. But when the series for which it was written unexpectedly folded, the manuscript went into storage, where it remained for more than four decades. This book finally brings it to light, giving the long-lost feminist work accompanied here by an afterword from Judith Butler an overdue spot in feminist history. Strathern incisively engages some of the leading feminist thinkers of the time, including Shulamith Firestone, Simone de Beauvoir, Ann Oakley, and Kate Millett. Building with characteristic precision toward a bold conclusion in which she argues that we underestimate the materializing grammars of sex and gender at our own peril, she offers a powerful challenge to the intransigent mythologies of sex that still plague contemporary society. The result is a sweeping display of Strathern s vivid critical thought and an important contribution to feminist studies that has gone unpublished for far too long.

    Abstract: Parallel to the abolition of Atlantic slavery, new forms of indentured labour stilled global capitalism's need for cheap, disposable labour. The famous 'coolie trade' - mainly Asian labourers transferred to French and British islands in the Indian Ocean, Australia, Indonesia, South Africa, the Caribbean, the Americas, as well as to Portuguese colonies in Africa - was one of the largest migration movements in global history. Indentured contract workers are perhaps the most revealing example of bonded labour in the grey area between the poles of chattel slavery and 'free' wage labour.This interdisciplinary volume addresses historically and regionally specific cases of bonded labour relations from the 18th century to sponsorship systems in the Arab Gulf States today.

    Abstract: This fifth edition of BIGSASworks! presents studies on institutions and social change processes from political science, sociology and anthropology perspectives. The authors highlight the various ways in which institutions create opportunities for change but at the same time resist change by acting as structures of stability. The papers show that the notion of institution within the development debate should be understood from a broader perspective beyond the narrow confines of state bureaucracies to a wider conception that includes the family, marriage and indigenous institutional arrangements through which individuals organize their daily activities.

    Abstract: Society, Law, and Culture in the Middle East:"Modernities" in the Making is an edited volume that seeks to deepen and broaden our understanding of various forms of change in Middle Eastern and North African societies during the Ottoman period. It offers an in-depth analysis of reforms and gradual change in the longue durée, challenging the current discourse on the relationship between society, culture, and law. The focus of the discussion shifts from an external to an internal perspective, as agency transitions from "the West" to local actors in the region. Highlighting the ongoing interaction between internal processes and external stimuli, and using primary sources in Arabic and Ottoman Turkish, the authors and editors bring out the variety of modernities that shaped south-eastern Mediterranean history. The first part of the volume interrogates the urban elite household, the main social, political, and economic unit of networking in Ottoman societies. The second part addresses the complex relationship between law and culture, looking at how the legal system, conceptually and practically, undergirded the socio-cultural aspects of life in the Middle East.

    Abstract: People Powered Money is a comprehensive, accessible and pragmatic guide to designing, developing and delivering community currencies. Written for experts and laypeople alike, the book argues for the social, economic and environmental potential of community currencies as public-policy tools and vehicles of citizen empowerment.
    Note: People Powered Money is the result of a project running from 2012-2015, Community Currencies in Action (CCIA). Part-funded by the European Union`s Interreg project, CCIA is a transnational project in the community currency field, bringing together expert partners from across north-west Europe and co-ordinating six pilot currencies in the United Kingdom, Belgium, the Netherlands and France. Drawing on the learnings of these pilots and the broader currency innovation movement, this book provides policymakers and practitioners alike with the information and advice to successfully implement a currency project in their communities. With the right knowledge and support, these can bring significant economic, social and environmental benefits to their users. Often confined to the margins, community currencies have the potential to become a normal part of economic life. CCIA hopes this book will enable a new generation of community currencies and support their emergence into the mainstream.

    Abstract: Verdrängt und vergessen sind die Männer und Frauen, die Kinder und Greise, die man hinter Gittern oder Barrieren zur Schau stellte wie Orang-Utans, chinesische Pandabären oder bengalische Tiger. Von Hamburg bis Paris, von London bis Tokio, von Chicago bis Genf strömten Millionen von Menschen in derartige "Völkerschauen" und "Menschenzoos". Dies geschah um die Wende vom 19. zum 20. Jahrhundert - und wirkt bis heute fort. Die Schaulustigen waren fasziniert von diesen "Wilden", die so seltsame Gebräuche hatten. Sie sahen in ihnen nur "Fremde", "Andersartige", angeblich "echte Kannibalen". Die Besucher bemerkten nicht, dass sich die westliche Welt der Schaustellungen bediente, um das eigene Selbstbild zu idealisieren. Denn es ging nicht um eine bereichernde Begegnung zwischen verschiedenen Kulturen, sondern darum, das Überlegenheitsgefühl der "weißen Rasse" zu stärken und die "zivilisierende" Politik der Kolonialmächte zu rechtfertigen. Zudem begegnete man den Fremden oftmals ganz und gar nicht wohltätig. Man ließ sie frieren, blieb oft sogar angesichts der vielen Krankheiten und Todesfälle unter ihnen ungerührt. Schließlich waren es ja nur "Wilde". Hamburg war einer der europäischen Brennpunkte dieser Entwicklung. Carl Hagenbeck verwirklichte ab 1874 als erster in Europa die Idee einer "anthropologisch-zoologischen Ausstellung ". Der Erfolg dieser Veranstaltungen war - auch in finanzieller Hinsicht - so überwältigend, dass man auch anderswo versuchte, die Sensationsgier zu bedienen. Völkerschauen und MenschenZoos fanden im deutschen Sprachraum u.a. in Hamburg, Berlin, Leipzig, Dresden, Köln, Düsseldorf, Dortmund, Mannheim, München, Wien, und Basel statt. Die MenschenZoos trugen entscheidend dazu bei, dass sich die rassistische Denkweise der "Wissenschaft vom Menschen" auf breite Bevölkerungskreise ausdehnte. Denn im Gefolge dieses rassistischen Trugbilds von den Fremden, dem die Pseudowissenschaft der damaligen Anthropologie das Mäntelchen der Objektivität umgehängt hatte, breitete sich rassistisches Denken unter großen Teilen der Bevölkerung westlicher Staaten aus. Ein Rassismus, der einige Jahrzehnte später schreckliche Folgen haben würde. Die "MenschenZoos" zeigen uns die Entstehung unserer bis heute fortbestehenden Vorurteile und Ängste. Sie zeugen von der Spaltung der Menschheit in einen angeblich höherwertigen und einen angeblich minderwertigem Teil. 33 Forscher und Fachleute haben an diesem Buch mitgearbeitet.

    Abstract: Spatial and identity research operates with differentiations and relations. These are particularly useful heuristic tools when examining border regions where social and geopolitical demarcations diverge. Applying this approach, the authors of this volume investigate spatial and identity constructions in cross-border contexts as they appear in everyday, institutional and media practices. The results are discussed with a keen eye for obliquely aligned spaces and identities and relinked to governmental issues of normalization and subjectivation. The studies base upon empirical surveys conducted in Germany, France, Belgium and Luxembourg. (Verlagsangaben)

    Abstract: Attempts of nineteenth-century writers to establish "race" as a biological concept failed after Charles Darwin opened the door to a new world of knowledge. Yet this word already had a place in the organization of everyday life and in ordinary English language usage. This book explains how the idea of race became so important in the USA, generating conceptual confusion that can now be clarified. Developing an international approach, it reviews references to "race," "racism," and "ethnicity" in sociology, anthropology, philosophy, and comparative politics and identifies promising lines of research that may make it possible to supersede misleading notions of race in the social sciences.
