    Abstract: This book investigates how the media have become self-referential or self-reflexive instead of mediating between the real or fictional worlds about which their messages pretend to be and between the audience that they wish to inform, counsel, or entertain. The concept of self-reference is viewed very broadly. Self-reflexivity, metatexts, metapictures, metamusic, metacommunication, as well as intertextual, and intermedial references are all conceived of as forms of self-reference, although to different degrees and levels.

    Abstract: Hauptbeschreibung: Wasser als wichtigste natürliche Basisressource für das menschliche Leben ist Gegenstand ökologischer, technischer und wirtschaftswissenschaftlicher Forschungen. Wie lautet ergänzend dazu eine kulturwissenschaftliche Theorie des Wassers? Der vorliegende Band betrachtet das Thema Wasser erstmals vom Konzept des Raumes her. Raum stellt für den Menschen eine ganz selbstverständliche Kategorie des Denkens, Sprechens und Handelns dar. Ausgehend von der These, dass Wasser als Raum immer eine kulturelle und soziale Konstruktion ist, beschreiben Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftle

    Abstract: Heritage represents the meanings and representations conveyed in the present day upon artifacts, landscapes, mythologies, memories and traditions from the past. It is a key element in the shaping of identities, particularly in the context of increasingly multicultural societies. This Research Companion brings together an international team of authors to discuss the concepts, ideas and practices that inform the entwining of heritage and identity. They have assembled a wide geographical range of examples and interpret them through a number of disciplinary lenses that include geography, history, museum and heritage studies, archaeology, art history, history, anthropology and media studies. This outstanding companion offers scholars and graduate students a thoroughly up-to-date guide to current thinking and a comprehensive reference to this growing field.

    Abstract: Biographical note: Ulrich Schreiterer ist als Soziologe und Hochschulexperte auf beiden Seiten des Atlantiks zu Hause: Nach verschiedenen Stationen im deutschen Hochschulmanagement arbeitet er seit 2003 als Senior Research Scholar an der Yale University in Connecticut. Von 2004 bis 2007 schrieb er die Kolumne »Mail aus Yale« in der Frankfurter Rundschau.
    Abstract: Review quote: 2009-04-23, NZZ Online, "Wer immer ernsthaft daran interessiert ist, Vorurteile zu revidieren oder - noch einfacher - fundiertes Wissen über amerikanische Hochschulen zu erwerben, das heisst: über ein erstaunlich komplexes, ja manchmal verstehensresistentes Kulturphänomen, der sollte sich Ulrich Schreiteres informationsreiches Buch zu Gemüte führen."
    Abstract: Long description: Ein Gespenst geht um in der deutschen Hochschulpolitik. »Harvard« heißt es in der Exzellenzdebatte, »amerikanische Verhältnisse« im Kampf gegen Studiengebühren. Alle malen sich ihr eigenes Bild von den Hochschulen in Amerika, mal rosarot, mal pechschwarz. Ulrich Schreiterer zeigt, dass es sich lohnt, genauer hinzuschauen. In seinem Buch skizziert er die Rolle der Hochschulbildung für den American Dream, untersucht charakteristische Merkmale öffentlicher und privater Universitäten in den USA und zeigt, wie Elite- und Massenausbildung friedlich koexistieren. Nicht zuletzt geht er der Frage auf den Grund, wie es den Amerikanern gelingt, so viele Ressourcen für ihre Hochschulen zu mobilisieren und ihnen einen prominenten Platz in ihrer Gesellschaft zu geben.
    Abstract: Excerpt from book: Spätestens seit der weltweite Wettlauf in der Spitzenforschung zu einem Medienthema geworden ist und laufend neue Hitlisten internationaler Hochschulrankings in Umlauf gebracht werden, haben US-amerikanische Hochschulen eine Art Kultstatus erlangt. Weithin beneidet, stehen sie im Ruf, unendlich reich, Tempel der Gelehrsamkeit und olympische Talentschmieden zu sein. Dank ihres anregenden Arbeitsstils und hervorragender Leistungen locken sie die besten Studenten und Wissenschaftler aus der ganzen Welt an. Direkt oder indirekt dienten sie während der letzten zwanzig Jahre als Vorbild für die wichtigsten Reformimpulse im deutschen Hochschulwesen, seien es Graduiertenschulen, gestufte Studienangebote, career centers, mächtigere Hochschulleitungen, Hochschulräte und vor allem Exzellenzinitiativen. Aber sie munitionieren auch Kritiker dieser Reformen, die im Kampf gegen einen angeblichen Ausverkauf der deutschen Hochschulen an die Wirtschaft gern deren "Amerikanisierung" an die Wand malen. Im Übrigen seien die berühmten Elite-Unis ohnehin nur Refugien für die happy few, einsame Spitzen in einer sonst ziemlich platten Ebene anspruchsloser Hochschulen, die deutschen Universitäten nicht das Wasser reichen könnten.Das stimmt. In den USA verteilen sich etwa 18 Millionen Studenten auf knapp 4.400 äußerst heterogene Einrichtungen der tertiären Bildung, winzig kleine und riesig große, private und öffentliche, arme und reiche, reine Lehranstalten und exzellente Forschungsuniversitäten. Auf das extreme akademische Qualitätsgefälle im amerikanischen Hochschulwesen hinzuweisen gehört inzwischen zum guten Ton. Zu einem besseren Verständnis des Neid-Phänomens trägt das aber nur wenig und zur Entzauberung der amerikanischen Idol-Hochschulen gar nichts bei. Wer nur die Schlagzeilen über Nobelpreisträger und Eliten, sagenhafte Vermögen, Schießereien auf dem Campus oder hoch verschuldete Studenten kennt, kann viele Überraschungen erleben, wenn er bereit ist, sich in der amerikanischen Hochschulwelt etwas näher umzuschauen - positive oder enttäuschende, je nach Couleur. Zwischen akademischem El Dorado und sozialer Kälte, wissenschaftlichem Ödland und herausragender Exzellenz liegt eine faszinierend bunte Landschaft durchweg selbstbewusster, quirliger Institutionen. Doch ein tiefer Graben trennt die akademischen Kontinente auf beiden Seiten des Atlantik. Weil auf der amerikanischen so vieles anders ist, tun sich europäische Beobachter häufig schwer damit, deren Muster und Spielregeln zu begreifen. Ungewöhnliche Einzelphänomene wie akademische Rituale, der beinharte, ans Pathologische grenzende Wettbewerbsdruck, die Faszination bestimmter Teamsportarten oder das gefeierte Alumniwesen bleiben ihnen fremd - und irgenwie auch unheimlich. Das betrifft nicht zuletzt die Rolle und den Stellenwert der Hochschulbildung in der amerikanischen Gesellschaft. Higher education* wird dort von einer Semantik eingerahmt und getragen, die man in Europa kaum antrifft - und die daraus ein mit Erwartungen, Hoffnungen und Versprechungen hoch aufgeladenes gesellschaftliches Projekt macht. Das Hochschulsystem und seine Einrichtungen verdanken ihr mehr als nur ein eigentümliches Flair und einen "typisch amerikanischen" Grundton. Sie verdanken ihr eine besondere Gestalt.Dieser Einbettung der Hochschulen in die Kultur und das gesellschaftliche Gewebe der USA nachzuspüren, kommt einer Erkundungsreise in einen fremden Kontinent gleich. Mitreisende seien gewarnt: Sie müssen sich von einer Reihe gängiger Klischees und falscher Annahmen verabschieden. Erstens kann gar nicht oft und laut genug gesagt werden, dass Harvard nicht alles und nicht alles in Amerika Harvard ist. Allerdings gibt es dort sehr viel mehr Hochschulen als in den meisten anderen Ländern, und in der Lebenswelt nimmt higher education wahrscheinlich einen wichtigeren Platz ein, als es irgendwo sonst der Fall ist. Mit der zweiten Ent-Täuschung verhält es sich schon etwas komplizierter. In den USA studiert man nämlich nicht etwa zielstrebiger und schneller als in Deutschland, wie oft suggeriert wird, sondern zunächst einmal anders. Vergleiche und die Suche nach best practices macht das nicht gerade einfacher. Das dritte Warnschild bezieht sich auf den weit verbreiteten Glauben, amerikanische Hochschulen achteten auf ein straffes Kostenmanagement, würden wie Wirtschaftsunternehmen geführt und arbeiteten wesentlich effizienter als die behäbig-bürokratischen Staatsanstalten in Europa.

    Abstract: Long description: Nach wie vor gibt es an deutschen Hochschulen sehr viel weniger Professorinnen als Professoren. Christine Färber zeigt in ihrer auf zahlreichen Interviews basierenden Studie, dass eine wichtige Ursache hierfür die Berufungsverfahren sind. Selten gibt es einheitliche Regelungen zur Gleichstellung. Die Auswahlkriterien sind oft nicht transparent. Entscheidend sind immer noch informelle Netzwerke, in denen vorwiegend Männer vertreten sind. In einem Vergleich der rechtlichen Regelungen einzelner Hochschulen und der Länder verdeutlichen die Autorinnen, wo Handlungsbedarf besteht.
    Abstract: Biographical note: Christine Färber, Dr. rer. pol., ist Hochschullehrerin an der Hochschule für Angewandte Wissenschaften in Hamburg. Ulrike Spangenberg, Juristin, promoviert zum Thema Gleichstellungsrecht.
    Abstract: Review quote: 2008-11-10, literaturkritik.de, Das Buch "gehört auf den Schreibtisch einers jeden Wissenschaftlers, der eine Hochschulkarriere plant. Ebenso sollten sich alle Professorinnen und Professoren, die bereits in Berufungskommissionen engagiert sind oder vielleicht irgendwann sein werden, sich dieses Buch zu Gemüte führen. Hochschulleitungen sollte der Leitfaden zur Pflicht werden."

    Abstract: Review quote: 2009-02-07, Neue Zürcher Zeitung, "Die Autorinnen ermitteln in ihrer Untersuchung, wie Berufungsverfahren in ihrer konkreten Ausgestaltung zu der Unterrepräsentation von Frauen führen."
    Abstract: Excerpt from book: 4. Fazit zur gleichstellungsorientierten Gestaltung von BerufungsverfahrenDie Interviewstudie und die Dokumentenanalyse zeigen, dass eine systematische gleichstellungsorientierte Gestaltung von Berufungsverfahren dringend geboten ist. Aus beiden Teilstudien gehen besondere Defizite hervor, aber auch sehr gute Ansatzpunkte für eine Reform, die Chancengleichheit gewährleistet. Die Ergebnisse werden im Folgenden zusammenfassend dargestellt.4.1 Ergebnisse der InterviewstudieDie Analyse der Erfahrungen der befragten Bewerberinnen und Bewerber, Berufungskommissionsvorsitzenden sowie Frauen- und Gleichstellungsbeauftragten gibt einen tiefen Einblick in mögliche Geschlechterdimensionen der vielfältigen Teilaspekte von Berufungsverfahren.4.1.1 Hoher Stellenwert informeller ProzesseInsbesondere die Interviews mit den Bewerberinnen und Bewerbern zeigen andere Relevanzstrukturen als der wissenschaftspolitische Diskurs. Sie sehen sich angesichts der großen Heterogenität der Verfahren willkürlichen Bewertungsprozeduren ausgesetzt. Die meisten Bewerberinnen und Bewerber kritisieren darüber hinaus den persönlichen Umgang mit ihnen als Person. Insbesondere Frauen werden mit unhöflichem und abwertendem Verhalten der Berufungskommissionen konfrontiert. Alle Bewerberinnen und Bewerber kritisieren die mangelnde Transparenz und die Behandlung als Bittstellende. Für Bewerberinnen und Bewerber haben folglich Verfahrenstransparenz und wertschätzende Kommunikation eine besonders große Bedeutung. Frauen heben diesen Aspekt sehr viel stärker hervor als Männer: Erstens benennen die meisten befragten Frauen schlechte Kommunikation, vor allem Intransparenz, offenes Desinteresse oder Abwertung bis hin zu Angriffen als ihre persönlich wichtigste Erfahrung in Berufungsverfahren. Zweitens beschreiben Frauen anders als Männer diese Aspekte als verunsichernd. Diese Verunsicherung zeigt sich darin, dass insgesamt die Hälfte der befragten Bewerberinnen, aber kein Bewerber einen Beitrag zum negativen Ausgang der von ihnen erlebten Berufungsverfahren bei sich selbst, ihrer Qualifikation, ihrer Vorbereitung und ihrem Auftreten sucht. Drittens beschreiben alle Bewerberinnen und Bewerber den hohen Stellenwert von informellen Netzwerken bei Berufungen. Die Frauen beschreiben sich jedoch anders als die Männer als sehr schlecht vernetzt.Die Berufungskommissionsvorsitzenden verfügen quantitativ in der Regel über erheblich weniger Erfahrung in Berufungsverfahren als die Bewerberinnen und Bewerber. Befragt nach den wichtigsten Erfahrungen benennen sie vor allem Aspekte, die sich auf Koordinationsaufgaben und die Ablauforganisation beziehen. Es wird benannt, dass Verfahrensstandards in den Fächern tradiert werden, die sich aber nach Fach und Standort stark unterscheiden. Zweitens werden mögliche konflikthafte Punkte angesprochen: Beschrieben wird, dass Konflikte im Vorfeld, bei der Kriterienbildung und der Zusammensetzung der Berufungskommission und oft außerhalb der Kommissionssitzungen ausgetragen werden. Drittens wird bei den Kommissionsvorsitzenden deutlich, dass im Vergleich zu den Bewerberinnen und Bewerbern kaum individueller Leidensdruck und mehr persönliche Distanz zu den Verfahren bestehen. Die Kommissionsvorsitzenden sehen bei der Festlegung der Auswahlkriterien und der Zusammensetzung der Berufungskommissionen den wichtigsten Einfluss auf die Gleichstellung. Sie beschreiben, dass Berufungsentscheidungen Machtfragen sind, die sich an der formalen Oberfläche des Verfahrens, in den Sitzungen, Protokollen und Gutachten, kaum abbilden.Die Frauen- und Gleichstellungsbeauftragten verfügen von den Befragtengruppen über die meiste Erfahrung in Berufungskommissionen. Sie beschreiben, dass die Verfahren sehr heterogen ablaufen und die Qualität jedes Verfahrens abhängt von der Person des oder der Kommissionsvorsitzenden. Insgesamt ist die Einschätzung der Wirkung ihres eigenen Handelns gespalten - manche Frauenbeauftragte beschreiben als wichtigste Erfahrung, dass sie ihre Beteiligung positiv sehen, andere sehen diesen Teil der Arbeit als sehr konfliktträchtig und wenig ergebnisreich. Diese Gleichstellungsbeauftragten beobachten, dass Frauen benachteiligt werden, dass ihnen als Frauenbeauftragte aber manchmal die Benachteiligung erst ex post deutlich wird. Sie beschreiben, dass fachnahe wissenschaftliche Kommissionsmitglieder im Vorfeld einen sehr guten Überblick über die Bewerbungslage haben und schon vor Beginn des Verfahrens ein festes Bild ihrer Präferenzen haben, so dass die Kriterien den Personen angepasst werden. Dieser Prozess läuft im informellen Bereich, die Frauenbeauftragten sind davon ausgeschlossen. Allerdings wird auch beschrieben, dass Interessen in der Kommission konfligieren und dadurch Handlungsspielräume entstehen können.Zusammenfassend zeigt sich bei den originären Relevanzstrukturen der Befragten die hohe Relevanz informeller Prozesse. Die Verfahrensmängel werden von den Befragtengruppen unterschiedlich gewichtet. Es wird deutlich, dass die Bewerberinnen und Bewerber in den Berufungsverfahren einem Abwertungs- und Marginalisierungsprozess ausgesetzt sind, bei dem Frauen anders und stärker als Männer benachteiligt werden.

    Abstract: Playing with Videogames documents the richly productive, playful and social cultures of videogaming that support, surround and sustain this most important of digital media forms and yet which remain largely invisible within existing studies. James Newman details the rich array of activities that surround game-playing, charting the vibrant and productive practices of the vast number of videogame players and the extensive 'shadow' economy of walkthroughs, FAQs, art, narratives, online discussion boards and fan games, as well as the cultures of cheating, copying and piracy that have emerged.

    Abstract: This collection offers a global perspective on the changing character of cities and the increasing importance that consumer culture plays in defining their symbolic economies. Increasingly, forms of spectacle have come to shape how cities are imagined and to influence their character and the practices through which we know them - from advertising and the selling of real estate, to youth cultural consumption practices and forms of entrepreneurship, to the regeneration of urban areas under the guise of the heritage industry and the development of a WiFi landscape. Using examples of cities such as New York, Sydney, Atlantic City, Barcelona, Rio de Janeiro, Douala, Liverpool, San Juan, Berlin and Harbin this book illustrates how image and practice have become entangled in the performance of the symbolic economy. It also argues that it is not just how the urban present is being shaped in this way that is significant to the development of cities but also that a prominent feature of their development has been the spectacular imagining of the past as heritage and through regeneration. Yet the ghosts that this conjures up in practice offer us a possible form of political unsettlement and alternative ways of viewing cities that is only just beginning to be explored. Through this important collection by some of the leading analysts of consumption, cities and space Consuming the Entrepreneurial City offers a cutting edge analysis of the ways in which cities are developing and the implications this has for their future. It is essential reading for students of Urban Studies, Geography, Sociology, Cultural Studies, Heritage Studies and Anthropology.

    Abstract: Judith Kapferer and her collaborators present an insightful volume that interrogates relations between the state and the arts in diverse national and cultural settings. The authors critique the taken-for-granted assumption about the place of the arts in liberal or social democratic states and the role of the arts in supporting or opposing the ideological work of government and non-government institutions. This innovative volume explores the challenges posed by the state to the arts and by the arts to the state, focusing on several transformations of the interrelations between state and commercial arts policies in the current era. These ongoing challenges include the control of repressive tolerance, complicity with and resistance to state power, and the commoditization of the arts, including their accommodation to market and state apparatuses. While endeavouring to avoid the currently dominant pragmatic and didactic priorities of officialdom, the contributors tackle social and cultural policy and practice in the arts as well as connections between national states and dissenting art from a range of genres.

    Abstract: The distinctions and similarities among Roman, Jewish, and Christian burials can provide evidence of social networks, family life, and, perhaps, religious sensibilities. Is the Roman development from columbaria to catacombs the result of evolving religious identities or simply a matter of a change in burial fashions? Do the material remains from Jewish burials evidence an adherence to ancient customs, or the adaptation of rituals from surrounding cultures? What Greco-Roman funerary images were taken over and "baptized" as Christian ones? The answers to these and other questions requi

    Abstract: From the architectural spectacle of the medieval cathedral and the romantic sublime of the nineteenth-century panorama to the techno-fetishism of today's London Science Museum, humans have gained a deeper understanding of the natural world through highly illusionistic representations that engender new modes of seeing, listening, and thinking. What unites and defines many of these wondrous spaces is an immersive view-an invitation to step inside the virtual world of the image and become a part of its universe, if only for a short time.Since their inception, museums of science and natural histor

    Abstract: Science communication, as a multidisciplinary field, has developed remarkably in recent years. It is now a distinct and exceedingly dynamic science that melds theoretical approaches with practical experience. Formerly well-established theoretical models now seem out of step with the social reality of the sciences, and the previously clear-cut delineations and interacting domains between cultural fields have blurred. Communicating Science in Social Contexts examines that shift, which itself depicts a profound recomposition of knowledge fields, activities and dissemination practices, and the val

    Abstract: Leading geographer Denis Cosgrove provides a series of personal reflections on the complex connections between seeing, imagining and representing the world geographically. In a series of eloquent essays he draws upon pictorial images - including maps, sketches, cartoons, paintings, and photographs - to explore and elaborate upon the many and varied ways in which the vast and varied earth, and at times the heavens beyond, have been both imagined and represented as a place of human habitation. The essays include reflections upon geographical discovery; urban cartography and utopian visions; ideas of landscape and the shaping of America; wilderness and masculinity; conceptions of the Pacific; and the imaginative grip of the Equator. Extensively illustrated, this engaging work reveals the richness of the geographical imagination as expressed over the past five centuries._x000D__x000D_'A richly evocative set of meditations on landscape and vision by a master craftsman. ... Across myriad times and spaces, he displays for us the kaleidoscope of meanings that we humans have attached to the terrestrial sphere. Each essay is a delightful creation fashioned by an artist whose eye is informed throughout by a profound geographical sensibility.'- David Livingstone, OBE, Professor of Geography and Intellectual History, Queen's University, Belfast_x000D__x000D_'Among modern geographers who have re-imagined, re-charged and extended their subject, Denis Cosgrove is pre-eminent, and his understanding of landscape, in particular, the most vital contribution... The range of his chosen topics is both their challenge and their excitement - from Renaissance arcadias to Ruskin's mythopoeic science, from meditations on the invisible Equator to extra-terrestrial cosmography for the twenty-first century, from American nature and urban mapping to the idea of the Pacific as a...

    Abstract: Evaluation, Akkreditierung und Politik analysiert die Entstehung eines deutschen und europäischen Marktes der Qualitätssicherung für die Hochschullehre. Der so genannte Bolognaprozess verpflichtet die europäischen Mitgliedsstaaten, Anstrengungen vorzunehmen, um das Hochschulstudium vergleichbarer zu machen und teilweise sogar zu vereinheitlichen. Ein wichtiger Schritt in diese Richtung bildet die Einführung von Bachelor- und Masterstudiengängen, die von nationalen Evaluations- und Akkreditierungsagenturen auf ihre Qualität geprüft und zertifiziert werden müssen. Im Fokus der Untersuchung steht ein Strukturbildungsprozess, der die Gründung deutscher Evaluations- und Akkreditierungsagenturen als Teil einer nationalen Reform der Hochschulsteuerung motivierte. Dieser Strukturbildungsprozess hatte weit reichende Implikationen für die deutsche und europäische Hochschulpolitik, die in der Studie qualitativ und quantitativ ergründet werden.

    Abstract: Das Internet, so der empirische Befund anhand der öffentlichen deutschsprachigen Debatte zu Genfood, unterscheidet sich seiner diskursiven Qualität kaum von Tageszeitungen, sofern vom durchschnittlichen Nutzerverhalten ausgegangen wird. Die mit dem Internet verknüpften Hoffungen auf eine Demokratisierung und Rationalisierung politischer Streitfragen werden sich kaum erfüllen.

    Abstract: In den letzten Jahren hat sich die Auseinandersetzung mit theoretischen Ansätzen innerhalb der Kommunikations- und Medienwissenschaft erheblich intensiviert. Im Fokus steht dabei einerseits die Frage, was die grundlegenden theoretischen Ansätze der Kommunikations- und Medienwissenschaft sind. Andererseits geht es um eine Diskussion der originären Theorieentwicklungen der Kommunikations- und Medienwissenschaft in ihren unterschiedlichen Forschungsfeldern. Das Werk zielt darauf, einen Überblick über diese aktuelle Theoriediskussion zu geben und zukünftige Perspektiven aufzuzeigen.

    Abstract: "A major contribution to the study of global events in times of global media. Owning the Olympics tests the possibilities and limits of the concept of 'media events' by analyzing the mega-event of the information age: the Beijing Olympics. ... A good read from cover to cover."--Guobin Yang, Associate Professor, Asian/Middle Eastern Cultures & Sociology, Barnard College, Columbia University From the moment they were announced, the Beijing Games were a major media event and the focus of intense scrutiny and speculation. In contrast to earlier such events, however, the Beijing Games are also unfolding in a newly volatile global media environment that is no longer monopolized by broadcast media. The dramatic expansion of media outlets and the growth of mobile communications technology have changed the nature of media events, making it significantly more difficult to regulate them or control their meaning. This volatility is reflected in the multiple, well-publicized controversies characterizing the run-up to Beijing 2008. According to many Western commentators, the People's Republic of China seized the Olympics as an opportunity to reinvent itself as the "New China"--a global leader in economics, technology, and environmental issues, with an improving human-rights record. But China's maneuverings have also been hotly contested by diverse global voices, including prominent human-rights advocates, all seeking to displace the official story of the Games. Bringing together a distinguished group of scholars from Chinese studies, human rights, media studies, law, and other fields, Owning the Olympics reveals how multiple entities--including the Chinese Communist Party itself--seek to influence and control the narratives through which the Beijing Games will be understood. digitalculturebooks is an imprint of the University of Michigan Press and the Scholarly Publishing Office of the University of Michigan Library dedicated to publishing innovative and accessible work exploring new media and their impact on society, culture, and scholarly communication.

    Abstract: Increasingly, economists have acknowledged that a major limitation to economic theory has been its failure to incorporate human values and beliefs as motivational factors. Conversely, the economic underpinnings of ritual practice are under-theorized and therefore not accessible to economists working on synthetic theories of human choice. This book addresses the problem by bringing together anthropologists with diverse backgrounds in the study of religion and economy to forge an analytical vocabulary that constitutes the building blocks of a theory of ritual economythe process of provisioning and consuming that materializes and substantiates worldview for managing meanings and shaping interpretations. The chapters in Part I explore how values and beliefs structure the dual processes of provisioning and consuming. Contributions to Part II consider how ritual and economic processes interlink to materialize and substantiate worldview. Chapters in Part III examine how people and institutions craft and assert worldview through ritual and economic action to manage meaning and shape interpretation. In Part IV, Jeremy Sabloff outlines the road ahead for developing the theory of ritual economy. By focusing on the intersection of cosmology and material transfers, the contributors push economic theory towards a more socially informed perspective.

    Abstract: "Links" are among the most basic---and most unexamined---features of online life. Bringing together a prominent array of thinkers from industry and the academy, The Hyperlinked Society addresses a provocative series of questions about the ways in which hyperlinks organize behavior online. How do media producers' considerations of links change the way they approach their work, and how do these considerations in turn affect the ways that audiences consume news and entertainment? What role do economic and political considerations play in information producers' creation of links? How do links shape the size and scope of the public sphere in the digital age? Are hyperlinks "bridging" mechanisms that encourage people to see beyond their personal beliefs to a broader and more diverse world? Or do they simply reinforce existing bonds by encouraging people to ignore social and political perspectives that conflict with their existing interests and beliefs? This pathbreaking collection of essays will be valuable to anyone interested in the now taken for granted connections that structure communication, commerce, and civic discourse in the world of digital media.

    Abstract: Higher education worldwide, including the university and other related academic programs, is currently undergoing intensive change and transformation perhaps as no other time in its long history. One factor contributing to this rapid transformation is the global expansion of higher education at unprecedented rates. More of the world's population is continuing to higher education (and other forms of tertiary education) now than ever before. In fact, enrollment in institutions of higher education around the world is growing at a rapid rate. Some scholars have suggested that one reason for this rapid expansion is that the role of higher education has shifted over the last 50 years from an elite to a mass institution. As a result of this rapid expansion and shift in focus, the nature of students, faculty, the curriculum, and assessment is changing within the institution. And in society, the value of higher education and its impact on socioeconomic status, human capital, and technical innovation is changing as well. As a whole, the chapters in this volume in the "International Perspectives on Education and Society" series present a thoughtful discussion of the worldwide transformation of higher education from multiple perspectives. Contributors include Gaele Goastellec, David Turner, John C. Weidman, Adiya Enkhjargal, Christine Min Wotipka, Francisco O. Ramirez, Karin Amos, Lucia Bruno, Marcelo Parreira do Amaral, Mark S. Johnson, Christopher Collins, Robert A. Rhoads, Sunwoong Kim, Jun Li, Jing Lin, Chuing Prudence Chou, Philip G. Altbach, and Patti McGill Peterson

    Abstract: Übergewicht wird politisiert. Es wird als Problem im politischen Raum kommuniziert und mit der Erwartung verknüpft, die Politik könne ihm zu Leibe rücken. In Deutschland hatte Renate Künast einen wesentlichen Anteil an dieser Politisierung. Sie hat das Thema unter Stichworten wie Chancengleichheit und Kostenentwicklung im Gesundheitswesen zum Gegenstand koordinierten staatlichen Handelns und auch moralischer Appelle gemacht. Sollte das unter normativen Gesichtspunkten aber so sein? Wird so nicht eine genuine Privatangelegenheit, unsere Ernährungsgewohnheiten, ins Licht der Öffentlichkeit gezerrt und damit vielleicht sogar zur Stigmatisierung übergewichtiger Menschen beigetragen? Wenn unsere Ernährungsweise begründet als Teil des Privaten verstanden werden kann, was bedeutet das wiederum für die Politik? Welche Maßnahmen erscheinen dann eher problematisch und welche geboten? Mit diesen Fragen befasst sich Felissa Mühlich.

    Abstract: The early Christian presence in Inner Mongolia forms the subject of this book. These Nestorian remains must primarily be attributed to the Ongut, a Turkic people closely allied to the Mongols. Writing in Syriac, Uighur and Chinese scripts and languages, the Nestorian Ongut drew upon a variety of religions and cultures to decorate their gravestones with crosses rising from lotus flowers, dragons and Taoist imagery. This heritage also portrays designs found in the Islamic world. Taking a closer look at the discovery of this material and its significance for the study of the early Church of the E

    Abstract: In Native Americans and the Christian Right, Andrea Smith advances social movement theory beyond simplistic understandings of social-justice activism as either right-wing or left-wing and urges a more open-minded approach to the role of religion in social movements. In examining the interplay of biblical scripture, gender, and nationalism in Christian Right and Native American activism, Smith rethinks the nature of political strategy and alliance-building for progressive purposes, highlighting the potential of unlikely alliances, termed "cowboys and Indians coalitions" by one of her Native activist interviewees. She also complicates ideas about identity, resistance, accommodation, and acquiescence in relation to social-justice activism. Smith draws on archival research, interviews, and her own participation in Native struggles and Christian Right conferences and events

    Abstract: Im Unterschied zu Menschen der asiatischen Schwellenländer betrachten Politiker, Universitätslehrer und Geschäftsleute aus afrikanischen Ländern die Globalisierung eher mit Furcht: Können hochgradig hilfeabhängig gewordene Volkswirtschaften hoffen, nicht nur die Risiken der Globalisierung erleiden zu müssen, sondern auch von ihren Chancen profitieren zu können? Das Buch versucht, auf diese Schicksalsfrage Afrikas eine differenzierte Antwort zu geben. Es wird aufgezeigt, dass Afrika zwar weitgehend als bisheriger Verlierer der Globalisierung bezeichnet werden muss, dass jedoch vielerlei Formen der Anpassung und aktiven Bewältigung der globalen Herausforderungen entwickelt wurden. Die Globalisierung erscheint zwar als "Falle" : sie ist von Afrikanern nicht ersehnt worden, aber auch aus Fallen gibt es Auswege, und Modernisierung wird keineswegs abgelehnt. Afrika gibt es nur im Plural, und der weit verbreitete Afropessimismus tut den Afrikanerinnen und Afrikanern Unrecht, die unter schwierigsten materiellen Bedingungen für Demokratie und Menschenrechte und gegen Korruption und Selbstzerstörung eintreten.

    Abstract: Auf allen Ebenen (kulturell, ökonomisch, politisch u.s.w.) verbindet sich mit der Entwicklung des Internets ein bedeutsamer Wandel von Handlungs- und Erfahrungsbedingungen. Im Zuge der „Online-Vergesellschaftung" (Jäckel/Mai) ändern sich Voraussetzungen, Potentiale, Zwänge und Probleme der Wirklichkeitskonstruktion grundlegend und systematisch. Der Band versammelt Untersuchungen, die diesem Wandel mit wissenssoziologischen Mitteln nachgehen. Privilegiert wird eine Perspektive, die alle relevanten sozialen Ordnungsebenen einschließt (Interaktion, Feld/Subsystem, Gesellschaft), ein Netzwerkkonzept beinhaltet, den Akteur fokussiert und historisch-differenzierungstheoretisch ausgerichtet ist.

    Abstract: This book introduces the concept of 'act of citizenship' and in doing so, re-orients the study of what it means to be a citizen. Isin and Nielsen show that an 'act of citizenship' is the event through which subjects constitute themselves as citizens. They claim that such an act involves both responsibility and answerability, but is ultimately irreducible to either. This study of citizenship is truly interdisciplinary, drawing not only on new developments in politics, sociology, geography and anthropology, but also on psychoanalysis, philosophy and history. Ranging from Antigone and Socrates in the ancient world to checkpoints, euthanasia and flash mobs in the modern one, the 'acts' and chapters here build up a dynamic and wide-ranging picture. Acts of Citizenship provides important new insights for all those concerned with the relationship between individuals, groups and polities. Examines theories of how citizenship is mediated between lived experiences and formal entitlements in order to map out, confine, extend, name, and enact the boundaries of belonging to a polity. This book assembles deep traditions in social and political thought to provide a examination of acts of citizenship in this useful way.

    Abstract: Globalization provokes both excitement and fear. This comprehensive collection, which brings together some of the most important published work on the subject, addresses a core issue of contention: the implications of globalization for poverty and inequality. While the debate is highly politicized, this insightful set of papers focuses on the contributions made by academic economists. Globalization may be regarded by some as the realization of new opportunities through the removal of barriers to the flows of goods, services, factors and knowledge. However, it may also have adverse consequences: notably for farmers and unskilled workers in rich countries and for workers in protected industries in poor countries. In addition, this important collection investigates the implications of globalization for the power of international corporations and for the sovereignty of poor countries. It also explores topics such as the history of globalization, migration, capital movements and international institutions

    Abstract: The movies and the masses erupted on the world stage together. In a few decades around the turn of the twentieth century, millions of persons who rarely could afford a night at the theater and had never voted in an election became regular paying customers at movie palaces and proud members of new political parties. The question of how to represent these new masses fascinated and plagued politicians and filmmakers alike. Michael Tratner examines the representations of masses?the crowd scenes?in Hollywood films from The Birth of a Nation through such popular love stories as Gone with the Wind, The Sound of Music, and Dr. Zhivago. He then contrasts these with similar scenes in early Soviet and Nazi films. What emerges is a political debate being carried out in filmic style. In both sets of films, the crowd is represented as a seething cauldron of emotions

    Abstract: Its basic empirical research and investigation of pure theories of investment in the sports and lottery markets make this volume a winner. These markets are simpler to study than traditional financial markets, and their expected values and outcomes are uncomplicated. By means of new overviews of scholarship on the industry side of racetrack and other betting markets to betting exchanges and market efficiencies, contributors consider a variety of sports in countries around the world. The result is not only superior information about market forecasting, but macro- and micro-analyses that are relevant to other markets. * Easily studied sports markets reveal features relevant for more complex traditional financial markets * Significant coverage of sports from racing to jai alai * New studies of betting exchanges and Internet wagering markets

By combining excavation results with rock art analysis it demonstrates that a true archaeology of rock art can provide insights into rock art image-making in people's social and cultural lives. McDonald has developed a model that suggests that visual culture - such as rock art-making and its images and forms - could be understood as a system of communication, as a way of signaling group identifying behaviour."--Provided by publisher.

    Abstract: Review quote: 2009-03-12, socialnet.de, "Die Beiträge, die allesamt soziale "Abenteuer um die Ecke" beschreiben, entpuppen sich nicht nur als exotische, unterhaltsame oder skurrile ethnographische Episoden, sondern gleichzeitig als aufschlussreiche und anschlussfähige Beispiele von Feldforschung."
    Abstract: Long description: Wenn Sozialforscher ihren Schreibtisch verlassen, um sich »ins Feld« zu begeben, tauchen sie tief in unterschiedliche Sphären der Gesellschaft ein. Sie setzen sich dabei auch persönlichen Erfahrungen aus, die bei der späteren Veröffentlichung der Forschungsergebnisse gewöhnlich ausgeblendet werden. In diesem Buch erzählen Soziologinnen und Soziologen von solchen Abenteuern - zum Beispiel beim fremden Stamm der Wagnerianer, in der weiblichen Forschungsgruppe, bei freikirchlichen Zusammenkünften oder in der Halbwelt des Rotlichtmilieus. Die Episoden führen auf unterhaltsame Art vor Augen, von welchen verborgenen Regeln und Machtverhältnissen soziale Wirklichkeiten beherrscht sind.

    Abstract: Dieser Band zum "Historikerstreit" ist als ein Beitrag zur Erforschung der Geschichtspolitik in Deutschland anzusehen. Dabei ist die Geschichtspolitik (oder Erinnerungspolitik) als ein für die Herausbildung gemeinsamer Vorstellungen in einem politischen System, sprich der "nationalen Identität", sehr bedeutsames Politikfeld anzusehen, auf dem Deutungen der Vergangenheit und Gegenwart um Anerkennung im Gemeinwesen ringen. Der "Historikerstreit" lässt sich dabei mit Fug und Recht als das bedeutendste Kapitel im Buch der Geschichtspolitik der Bundesrepublik Deutschland bezeichnen.

    Abstract: Where does the nation-state end and globalization begin? In Territory, Authority, Rights, one of the world's leading authorities on globalization shows how the national state made today's global era possible. Saskia Sassen argues that even while globalization is best understood as "denationalization," it continues to be shaped, channeled, and enabled by institutions and networks originally developed with nations in mind, such as the rule of law and respect for private authority. This process of state making produced some of the capabilities enabling the global era. The difference is that these capabilities have become part of new organizing logics: actors other than nation-states deploy them for new purposes. Sassen builds her case by examining how three components of any society in any age--territory, authority, and rights--have changed in themselves and in their interrelationships across three major historical "assemblages": the medieval, the national, and the global. The book consists of three parts. The first, "Assembling the National," traces the emergence of territoriality in the Middle Ages and considers monarchical divinity as a precursor to sovereign secular authority. The second part, "Disassembling the National," analyzes economic, legal, technological, and political conditions and projects that are shaping new organizing logics. The third part, "Assemblages of a Global Digital Age," examines particular intersections of the new digital technologies with territory, authority, and rights. Sweeping in scope, rich in detail, and highly readable, Territory, Authority, Rights is a definitive new statement on globalization that will resonate throughout the social sciences

    Abstract: Fought in the wake of a decade of armed struggle against colonialism, the Mozambican civil war lasted from 1977 to 1992, claiming hundreds of thousands of lives while displacing millions more. As conflicts across the globe span decades and generations, Stephen C. Lubkemann suggests that we need a fresh perspective on war when it becomes the context for normal life rather than an exceptional event that disrupts it. Culture in Chaos calls for a new point of departure in the ethnography of war that investigates how the inhabitants of war zones live under trying new conditions and how culture and social relations are transformed as a result. Lubkemann focuses on how Ndau social networks were fragmented by wartime displacement and the profound effect this had on gender relations. Demonstrating how wartime migration and post-conflict return were shaped by social struggles and interests that had little to do with the larger political reasons for the war, Lubkemann contests the assumption that wartime migration is always involuntary. His critical reexamination of displacement and his engagement with broader theories of agency and social change will be of interest to anthropologists, political scientists, historians, and demographers, and to anyone who works in a war zone or with refugees and migrants.

    Abstract: The turn of the twentieth century in New York City was characterized by radical transformation as the advent of consumer capitalism confronted established social hierarchies, culture, and conceptions of selfhood. The popular stage existed in a symbiotic relationship with the city and uniquely captured the contested terms of immigrant identity of the time. Street Scenes focuses on the intersection of modern city life and stage performance. From street life and slumming to vaudeville and early cinema, to Yiddish theater and blackface comedy, Esther Romeyn discloses racial comedy, passing, and masquerade as gestures of cultural translation. In these performances she detects an obsession with the idea of the city as theater and the self as actor, which was fueled by the challenges that consumer capitalism presented to notions of an "authentic" self. It was exactly this idea of "authentic" immigrant selfhood that was at stake in many performances on the popular stage, and Romeyn ultimately demonstrates how these diverse and potent immigrant works influenced the emergence of a modern metropolitan culture.

    Abstract: This edited book on constructive ethnicity argues that the modernizing state system in developing countries unduly denies a legitimate place to the linguistic and ethnic groups who, despite habitual attachment to ethnic groups, might meaningfully help the slow process of state building. Here ethnicity is characterized as positive, and as such, moral and pragmatic. Despite ethnicity's natural inclination to polarization, a national community can be reconstructed, as is exemplified by recent events in Rwanda, Cyprus, India, Palestine, and China

    Keywords: Racism ; National characteristics, Liberian ; National characteristics, American ; Racism ; Liberia ; Race relations ; National characteristics, American ; National characteristics, Liberian ; Racism ; Liberia ; Racism ; United States ; United States ; Race relations ; Electronic books ; United States Race relations ; Liberia Race relations
    Abstract: Slaves to Racism is a unique cross-racial, cross cultural approach to racism from an insider/outsider viewpoint. Using numerous personal stories from the 1950s to today, from the American South and Midwest to Western Africa, the author displays the compulsive and repetitive nature of racism, its effect on both participant and victim, and how American prejudice and discrimination migrated to Africa with the creation of Liberia. The author is a marginal man who belongs to all of the groups involved. As an insider, he was privy to confidential racial and cultural viewpoints. As an outsider, his academic training allowed him to apply the principles of sociology and anthropology to what he observed. Although the book is based on academic theory, it is written in an engaging and understandable way that appeals to a mass audience. Through a variety of anecdotes and vignettes illustrating the persistence of ignorance among people who really know better, the reader will gain insights into the nature of racism and perhaps himself, as well, as he sees his own racial and cultural attitudes displayed. This account of the social and cultural forces that destroyed Liberia is based on social psychology - how people think and act as a group. In every society and nation, while every individual may not exactly fit the mold, there are cultural similarities that lead to groupthink - an essential element of national character.

    Abstract: This study examines how the concept of "Korean woman" underwent a radical transformation in Korea's public discourse during the years of Japanese colonialism. Theodore Jun Yoo shows that as women moved out of traditional spheres to occupy new positions outside the home, they encountered the pervasive control of the colonial state, which sought to impose modernity on them. While some Korean women conformed to the dictates of colonial hegemony, others took deliberate pains to distinguish between what was "modern" (e.g., Western outfits) and thus legitimate, and what was "Japanese," and thus illegitimate. Yoo argues that what made the experience of these women unique was the dual confrontation with modernity itself and with Japan as a colonial power.

    Abstract: The central Gujarat region of western India is home to the entrepreneurial landowning Patel caste who have leveraged their rural dominance to become a powerful global diaspora of merchants, industrialists, and professionals. Investigating the Patels intriguing ascent, Vinay Gidwani analyzes its broad implications for the nature of labor and capital worldwide. With the Patels as his central case, Gidwani interrogates established concepts of value, development, and the relationship between capital and history. Capitalism, he argues, is not a frame of economic organization based on the smooth, consistent operation of a series of laws, but rather an assemblage of contingent and interrupted logics stitched together into the appearance of a deus ex machina. Following this line of thinking, Gidwani points to ways in which political economy might be freed of its lingering Eurocentrism, raises questions about the adequacy of postcolonial studies critique of Marx and capitalism, and opens the possibility of situating capitalism as a geographically uneven social formation in which different normative or value-creating practices are imperfectly sutured together in ways that can equally impair and enable profit and accumulation.Both theoretically astute and empirically informed, Capital, Interrupted unsettles encrusted understandings of staple concepts within the human sciences such as hegemony, governmentality, caste, and agency and, ultimately, does nothing less than rethink the very constitution of capitalism.
