    Abstract: Erfährt der Mensch ein Update, wie es der Prothetiker Hugh Herr mit seiner Formel von den »Humans 2.0« prophezeit? Die Diskussion um die Hightech-Prothesen eines Oscar Pistorius oder um Aufsehen erregende körpernahe Medien wie die Google-Brille zeigen einen Wandel der Ideen von Körperlichkeit: Verbessernde Eingriffe in und um den Körper werden nicht länger als notwendige Kompensation von Defiziten begriffen, sondern als wünschenswerte Optimierung und Steigerung. Werden Körper »machbar«? Karin Harrasser situiert diese aktuellen Diskurse und Praktiken des Körpers und entwirft einen anderen Blick auf sie. Wie lässt sich über Technologien, Medien und Körper aus der Perspektive von teilsouveränem Handeln und Parahumanität sprechen?   Is mankind being updated, as prosthetist Hugh Herr predicts with his formula of »Humans 2.0«? The discussion about the high tech prosthetic limbs of Oscar Pistorius or about exciting, body contact media like Google Glass show a shift in concepts of physicality: an improvement procedure in or around the body is no longer considered a necessary compensation of deficits, but a desirable optimization and enhancement. Are bodies becoming »makeable«? Karin Harrasser situates these current discourses and practices of the body and designs a different view of them. How can we speak about technologies, media, and bodies from the perspective of partially sovereign action and para-humanity?   Rezension »Beeindruckender Essay.« Rolf Löchel, www.literaturkritik.de, 03.06.2014 »Ein spannender Ansatz.« Tanja Paar, diestandard.at, 03.12.2013 »Dieses [...] Buch zu lesen macht mit jeder Zeile Vergnügen.« Britta Schinzel, Freiburger Universitätsblätter, 203/1 (2014) »Wie es [...] gelingen kann, der Dauerpräsenz überindividueller, nicht-menschlicher Wesen im Zusammenleben sinnvoll zu begegnen, wird angesichts der wachsenden Möglichkeiten...
    Abstract: von Bio- und Medizintechnik zunehmend wichtiger und gleichermaßen schwieriger zu beantworten. Karin Harrasser liefert einen ersprießlichen Baustein dahingehend, wie den genannten Entwicklungen begrifflich und praktisch, programmatisch und spekulativ, bildhaft und narrativ begegnet werden kann, um 'die Abhängigkeiten und Anhänglichkeiten zwischen technischen und organischen Akteuren besser zu beobachten, zu analysieren, zu gestalten.'« Tom Bieling, www.designabilities.org, 28.12.2013 Besprochen in: http://www.scoop.it, 10 (2013), Andreas König http://antjeschrupp.com, 05.11.2013, Antje Schrupp Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, 24.10.2013, Markus Huber GMK-Newsletter, 11 (2013) Missy Magazin, 4 (2013) Deutschlandradio Kultur, 19.11.2013, Thomas Jaedicke www.pop-zeitschrift.de, 12 (2013), Julia Diekämper Berliner Zeitung, 28./29.12.2013, Franz Viohl Humana.Mente Journal of Philosophical Studies, 26 (2014), Matthias Moosburger Paradigmata, 11 (2014), Valentine Auer.

    Abstract: Wer die moderne Gesellschaft komplexitätsangemessen auf den Begriff bringen möchte, darf über den Sport nicht schweigen! Karl-Heinrich Bette setzt diese Forderung konsequent und innovativ in die Tat um und analysiert ausgewählte Phänomene wie die Begeisterung des Sportpublikums, das Sportheldentum, den Abenteuer- und Risikosport sowie das Doping im Spitzensport vor dem Hintergrund gesellschaftlicher Modernisierungsprozesse. Außerdem wird mit der Sportsoziologie jene Disziplin vorgestellt und durchleuchtet, die in der modernen Gesellschaft für eine amoralische, fremde und inkongruente Beobachtung des Sports ausdifferenziert wurde.   Rezension »Der Autor [liefert] eine Reihe von scharfsinnigen und lehrreichen Analysen über den Zustand des modernen Sports.« Dieter Reicher, Soziologische Revue, 37 (2014) Besprochen in: BISp, 5 (2011) www.lehrerbibliothek.de, 5 (2011), Dieter Bach.

    Abstract: Using evidence from Ghana, this book argues that power and class-based structural relationships are significant components in understanding how migratory diasporas shape and are shaped in turn by social class and inequality. This necessitates changes in national policies to address the widening gap of inequality between rich and poor.

    Abstract: Während im Leitmedium Fernsehen politische Themen zunehmend als »cultural fast food« (Pierre Bourdieu) aufbereitet werden, entstehen im Internet transnationale (Gegen-)Öffentlichkeiten, die die neoliberale Ordnung in der ersten Dekade des 21. Jahrhunderts in Frage stellen und für eine Demokratisierung der Lebensverhältnisse eintreten. Das Buch untersucht, wie diese transnationalen zivilgesellschaftlichen Netzwerke entstehen und welches kommunikative Potenzial sie entfalten können. Eine wichtige Frage ist dabei, ob sich kosmopolitische Sichtweisen und Praktiken herausbilden, die am Dialog orientiert sind und ausgehend vom transnationalen Charakter gesellschaftlicher Entwicklungen nach sozialen und kulturellen Veränderungen streben. Am Beispiel unterschiedlicher virtueller Netzwerke zu Themen wie Menschenrechte oder ökologische Fragen werden Formen des globalen Aktivismus analysiert und ihre Bedeutung für eine Revitalisierung der Demokratie diskutiert. »Comprehensive and insightful, Winter's book contributes significantly to our understanding of new media and technologies and their use in progressive politics.« (Douglas Kellner, Professor an der University of California, Los Angeles, ist Autor u.a. von »Media Culture«, 1995, und »Cinema Wars«, 2010.)   Rezension »Rainer Winter hat eine sehr positive, politische Perspektive auf das Netz. Sein Plädoyer ist in vielen Facetten zu unterstützen [...].« Dr. Uwe Breitenborn, tv diskurs, 15/3 (2011) »Der Band [empfiehlt sich] weniger als empirische 'cultural study' im ursprünglichen Sinne des Wortes, sondern vielmehr als ein knappes Buch, das einen Einstieg in den Blickwinkel der Cultural Studies auf transnationale Öffentlichkeit im Internet erleichtert.

    Abstract: Auch mit der jüngsten Finanzkrise hat die Konsumkultur nichts von ihrer Bedeutung als massenkulturelles Phänomen eingebüßt. Im Gegenteil: Das aktuelle Krisenbewusstsein sucht Halt im Konsum, der seinen Verfechtern noch immer als Modell demokratischer Teilhabe an gesellschaftlicher Produktion gilt. Zugleich ist die Konsumkritik der 1960er Jahre in Richtung eines intelligenten und nachhaltigen Konsums weitergeführt worden, und selbstbewusste Konsumenten treten nun als emanzipierte »Prosumer« und Mitakteure des Marktes auf. Das Buch entwickelt aus Sicht von Design, Kunst, Soziologie, Marketing und Medien neue Perspektiven auf das Phänomen Konsum.   Rezension Besprochen in: saldo, 6 (2013) Insider, 7 (2013) www.lehrerbibliothek.de, 25.11.2013, Oliver Neumann.

    Abstract: In The New Minorities of Europe: Social Cohesion in the European Union, Michael Johns looks to intra-EU migration as a way to analyze our understanding issues such as minorities, free movement, and rights. Tracing the development of free movement in the EU and the increasing challenges migrants face across Europe, this book stresses the potential threats facing the EU if the issues surrounding intra-EU migration are not addressed.

Through personal essays, the book reveals how external factors helped younger-generation Korean Americans who grew up in the 1980s and early 1990s retain more of their cultural heritage than had preceding generations.

    Keywords: Geschichte ; Märchen
    Abstract: From wicked queens, beautiful princesses, elves, monsters, and goblins to giants, glass slippers, poisoned apples, magic keys, and mirrors, the characters and images of fairy tales have cast a spell over readers and audiences, both adults and children, for centuries. These fantastic stories have travelled across cultural borders, and been passed on from generation to generation, ever-changing, renewed with each re-telling. Few forms of literature have greater powerto enchant us and rekindle our imagination than a fairy tale. But what is a fairy tale? Where do they come from and what do they mean? What do they try and communicate to us about morality, sexuality, and society? The range of fairy tales stretches across great distances and time; their history is entangled with folklore and myth, and their inspiration draws on ideas about nature and the supernatural, imagination and fantasy, psychoanalysis, and feminism. Marina Warner has loved fairy tales over a long writing life, and she explores here a multitude of tales through the ages, their different manifestations on the page, the stage, and the screen. From the phenomenal rise of Victorian and Edwardian literature to contemporary children's stories, Warner unfolds a glittering array of examples, from classics such as Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, and The Sleeping Beauty, the Grimm Brothers' Hansel and Gretel, and HansAndersen's The Little Mermaid, to modern-day realizations including Walt Disney's Snow White and gothic interpretations such as Pan's Labyrinth. In ten succinct chapters, Marina Warner digs into a rich hoard of fairy tales in their brilliant and fantastical variations, in order to define a genre and evaluate a literary form that keeps shifting through time and history. Her book makes a persuasive case for fairy tale as a crucial repository of human understanding and culture.

    Abstract: Das Thema »soziale Innovationen« hat in den letzten 20 Jahren in westlichen Gesellschaften zwar immer größere Aufmerksamkeit erfahren, ist dabei aber sowohl begrifflich und konzeptionell als auch inhaltlich äußerst unscharf geblieben. Angesichts der wachsenden Bedeutung sozialer Innovationen ist eine konzeptionelle Weiterentwicklung des theoretischen Ansatzes von großer Bedeutung. Dieser Band diskutiert die Frage, was eine Innovation zur sozialen Innovation macht. Die Autoren gehen theoretischen Konzepten, empirischen Forschungsfeldern und beobachtbaren Trends nach und arbeiten die zentralen Dimensionen eines sozialwissenschaftlichen Konzepts sozialer Innovation heraus.   Rezension Besprochen in: WSI Mitteilungen, 3 (2011), Hellmuth Lange Forschungsjournal Soziale Bewegungen, 2 (2014), Gorgi Krlev/Thomas Scheuerle.

    Abstract: Die tradierten Rollen von Arbeitnehmenden und Arbeitgebenden verlieren zunehmend an Kontur. Jeder Einzelne ist seines Glückes Schmied und spielt, so scheint es, virtuos auf der Klaviatur des Selbstmanagements. Zwischen der eigenverantworteten Freiheit, dem enormen Maß an Leistungsverdichtung und biografischen Unsicherheiten entstehen neue Arbeitsformen - aber auch neue Phänomene der Belastung. Wie gehen die Menschen damit um und bleiben gesund und leistungsfähig? Wie kann man diesem Wandel aus gesellschaftlicher Sicht begegnen? Und wie reagieren wir individuell auf diese Herausforderungen? Die Beiträge des Bandes geben Antworten.   The traditional roles of employees and employers increasingly lose clear definition. Every individual forges his own destiny and performs, it seems, with virtuosity on the keyboard of self-management. Between the autonomous freedom, an enormous degree of performance concentration and biographical uncertainties, new forms of work emerge - but also new phenomena of stress. How do people deal with this while staying healthy and fit? How can one handle this change from a societal point of view? And how we react to these challenges as individuals? The contributions to this volume provide answers.   Rezension »Sowohl für den Einsteiger ins Thema Wandel der Erwerbsarbeit - Wandel der Lebensbedingungen, als auch denjenigen, der tiefer mit der Materie vertraut ist, bietet diese Tagungsdokumentation wertvolle Impulse zum weiterlesen, -recherchieren und -forschen. Der Versuch einen Bogen von den allgemeinen Grundlagen hin zu speziellen - vom Wandel der Erwerbstätigkeit geprägten - Gesellschaftsfeldern zu spannen, ist gelungen.« Maria Wolf, www.socialnet.de, 04.06.2013.

    Keywords: Soziologische Theorie
    Abstract: Die Vielfalt soziologischer Zugriffe auf die moderne Gesellschaft lässt sich in die drei Stränge der ungleichheits-, der differenzierungs- und der kulturtheoretischen Denktradition bündeln. Alle drei Stränge setzen sich aus einer Pluralität von Perspektiven zusammen, und es gibt vielfältige Verbindungen zwischen ihnen - bis hin zu Versuchen, zwei oder sogar drei Stränge in theoretischen Synthesen zusammenzuführen. Dieses Bild, das die soziologische Gesellschaftstheorie seit den Klassikern bis heute bietet, wird in der Einführung systematisch dargestellt und kommentiert. Ein besonderer Akzent wird dabei darauf gelegt, wie die verschiedenen Perspektiven zum Verständnis heutiger gesellschaftlicher Problemlagen beitragen und welche zeitdiagnostischen Horizonte sie eröffnen.   Rezension »Dem Buch gelingt ein schwieriger Spagat: Es ist Überblick und Debatte zugleich. Auf knapp 200 Seiten bündelt es aktuelle Diskussionen soziologischer Gesellschaftstheorien und gibt zudem Denkanstöße für eine Weiterentwicklung der Gesellschaftsforschung.« Yvonne Niekrenz, www.socialnet.de, 27.01.2014 »Schimank belässt es nicht bei einer deskriptiven Darstellung der einzelnen z.T. widerstreitenden Theorien(-familien), sondern macht deutlich, dass die genannten Ansätze v.a. im Austausch und im Verbund das Rüstzeug zur theoretischen Beschreibung und Analyse der modernen kapitalistischen Gesellschaften liefern können.« Mario Kowalak, ekz bibliotheksservice, 42 (2013).

    Keywords: Sinn ; Begriff ; Soziologische Theorie
    Abstract: Studierende der Soziologie und Leser_innen, die allgemein an geistes- und sozialwissenschaftlicher Theoriebildung interessiert sind, finden mit diesem Buch eine Orientierung im nahezu unübersichtlichen Gelände der soziologischen Theorien und Sinnbegriffe. In vergleichender Übersicht stellt die Einführung zentrale Sinnbegriffe vor, die als Basiskategorien in verschiedenen soziologischen Theorien verwendet werden. Die Abhängigkeit der Konstruktion des soziologischen Gegenstandsbereichs von theoretischen Grundannahmen wird auf diese Weise beobachtbar. Es zeigt sich: Nicht zuletzt die Wahl des Sinnbegriffs ist entscheidend für die Möglichkeiten soziologischen Fragens und methodischen Beobachtens. Das Buch eignet sich in hervorragender Weise dazu, Studium und Lehre der Soziologie, insbesondere in den einführenden Modulen zur soziologischen Theorie, strukturierend zu begleiten.

    Keywords: Massenmedien ; Soziologie
    Abstract: Medien haben als Begriff und Forschungsthema Hochkonjunktur. Dies gilt auch innerhalb der Soziologie: »media go society«. Die hier vorgestellte Mediensoziologie stellt sich in unmittelbare Nähe zur Gesellschaftstheorie und untersucht die komplexen Wechselwirkungen zwischen Gesellschaft, Medien und Individuum. Behandelt werden u.a. das Verhältnis von Medienwandel und Gesellschaftsstrukturen, Geschichte und Theorie der Öffentlichkeit, die Funktionen des autonomen Sozialsystems der Massenmedien und die Bedeutung massenmedialer Formate für Identitäts- und Individualisierungsprozesse. Zudem gibt das Buch einen Ausblick auf die aktuelle Selbstbeschreibungsformel der »Mediengesellschaft«.   Rezension »Ziemanns 'Soziologie der Medien' ist systematisch aufgebaut, klar formuliert, an vielen Stellen äußerst anregend und verdient eine breite Leserschaft.« Nicole Zillien, Medien & Kommunikationswissenschaft, 1 (2007) zur ersten Auflage Besprochen in: MEDIENwissenschaft, 2 (2007), Matthias Schmidt GMK-Newsletter, 1 (2013) GMK-Newsletter, 3 (2013) GMK-Newsletter, 4 (2013).

    Abstract: An Bahnhöfen, vor Fußballstadien, in Stadtgärten und Fußgängerzonen, überall trifft man sie an: die Pfandsammler. Es sind Männer und Frauen, alte und junge, und sie gehören spätestens seit der Einführung des Pfandes auf Einweggetränkeverpackungen im Jahre 2006 zum Bild einer jeden deutschen Großstadt. Verdienen kann man mit dem Aufklauben von Dosen und Flaschen kaum etwas; diese nur vordergründige rein ökonomische Aktivität erlaubt es noch nicht einmal, die eigene Existenz auf minimale Weise selbstständig zu sichern. Zudem werden diese Menschen, die mit ihren Händen tief in die Abfalltonne der Innenstädte greifen, die öffentlichen Plätze vom Unrat der anderen reinigen und dann mit dem signifikanten Klappern der Flaschen in ihren Tüten weiterziehen, zumeist nur toleriert oder gar vor aller Augen erniedrigt. Ihnen haftet das Etikett des Drecksarbeiters, Penners und Schmarotzers an. Die vermeintlich einfache Frage, warum Menschen trotz all dieser widrigen Umstände tagtäglich aufs Neue durch die Straßen der Großstädte ziehen, welche Aussagen die Betrachungen dieser Sozialfigur in Bezug auf Prekarität und Marginalität, auf Armut und Einsamkeit in unserer modernen Gesellschaft zum Ausdruck bringt, erkundet die vorliegende Studie. Den heutigen Sammlern von Pfandflaschen werden historische Gefährten vergleichend zur Seite gestellt. Sie sammelten Holz, Lumpen und Ähren und fügten sich in ihre Rollen in den jeweiligen gesellschaftlichen Gebilden. Sebastian J. Moser legt mit diesem Buch die bisher einzige wissenschaftliche Auseinandersetzung mit der Figur des Pfandsammlers vor. Die Arbeit räumt mit gängigen Klischees auf, ermöglicht einen Einblick in die Welt der Pfandsammler und führt zu überraschenden Einsichten in die Verfasstheit unserer modernen Gesellschaft.   Biographische Informationen Sebastian J.

    Abstract: This edited volume explores transnational gestational surrogacy and how its practice is changing the traditional concept of parenthood across the globe. The phenomenon has given rise to a thriving international industry where money is being 'legally' exchanged for babies and 'reproductive labor' has taken on a lucrative commercial tone. This interdisciplinary collection of essays addresses significant issues in commercial gestational surrogacy as it plays out in a peculiar relation between the United States and India.

    Abstract: Nomaden scheinen aus unserem Alltag fast vollständig verschwunden zu sein. Doch die Abhängigkeit von Mobilität, die Bewältigung finanzieller Unsicherheiten sowie der ausgewogene Umgang mit unserer Umwelt fordern alle, auch 'moderne' Gesellschaften heraus. In der Wahrnehmung von Sesshaften verkörpern Nomaden und andere Mobile bis heute allerdings oft das Rückständige, Fremde und Bedrohliche, besonders im Hinblick auf staatliche Ordnungen. Dieser Band zeigt Nomaden hingegen als frühe Globalisierer. Er verdeutlicht, welche Flexibilität sie im Umgang mit widrigen Bedingungen entfalten, wie sie ihr Überleben in karger Umwelt gestalten und wie sie es schaffen, über Jahrtausende nachhaltig mit knappen Ressourcen zu wirtschaften.   Rezension Besprochen in: pw-portal.de, 1 (2012), Natalie Wohlleben Erdkunde, 66/2 (2012), Eckart Ehlers.

    Abstract: Robert Michels legt Anfang der 30er Jahre des 20. Jahrhunderts in der Schweiz eine Reihe von Städteporträts vor, in denen er sich essayistisch dem Thema »Weltstädte und ihre Bewohner« widmete. Im Gegensatz zu anderen Soziologen seiner Zeit wie Simmel, Sombart und Weber war er nicht an einer Theorie zur Entstehung der Stadt interessiert, obwohl auch er über die Ursprünge der jeweiligen Stadt Auskunft gab, sondern sein phänomenologischer Blick hielt die Eigentümlichkeiten der jeweiligen Stadt fest. So gelingen ihm anschauliche Miniaturen, die ebenso amüsant wie lehrreich sind und die heute in der Zeit der »urban studies«, in denen der Begriff die »Weltstadt« durch den der »global city« ersetzt ist, als ein Beispiel der frühen Stadtsoziologie gelesen werden können.   Inhaltsverzeichnis Paris -- London -- Berlin -- Rom als Großstadt -- Wien -- Die Wissenschaften von den Weltstädten. Nachwort von Rolf Rieß -- Verzeichnis der Druckorte -- Zu Autor und Herausgeber.

    Abstract: The importance of financial literacy and specifically the need to promote financial education has been recognised as an important contributor to improved financial inclusion and individuals’ financial well-being as well as a support to financial stability. The relevance of financial education policies is acknowledged at the highest global policy level: in 2012, G20 Leaders endorsed the OECD/INFE High-level Principles on National Strategies for Financial Education that specifically identify youth as one of the priority targets of government policies in this domain. That same year, Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Ministers of Finance identified financial literacy as a critical life skill. The publication addresses the challenges linked to the introduction of financial education in schools, and provides practical guidance and case studies to assist policy makers, and a comparative analysis of existing learning frameworks for financial education in the formal school system.

    Abstract: How's life? The answer can depend on the region in which you live. Many factors that influence people's well-being are local issues, such as employment, access to health services, pollution and security. Policies that take into account regional differences beyond national averages can therefore have a greater impact on improving well-being for the country as a whole. This report presents the OECD analytical framework for measuring well-being at the regional level, as well as internationally comparable indicators on 9 well-being dimensions for 362 regions across 34 OECD countries. It also sets out guidance for all levels of government in using well-being measures to better target policies at the specific needs of different communities. Drawing on a variety of practical experiences from OECD regions and cities, the report discusses methodological and political solutions for selecting regional well-being outcome indicators, monitoring the progress of regional well-being performance over time, and implementing a process of multi-stakeholder engagement to promote social change

    Abstract: How was life in 1820, and how has it improved since then? What are the long-term trends in global well-being? Views on social progress since the Industrial Revolution are largely based on historical national accounting in the tradition of Kuznets and Maddison. But trends in real GDP per capita may not fully re­flect changes in other dimensions of well-being such as life expectancy, education, personal security or gender inequality. Looking at these indicators usually reveals a more equal world than the picture given by incomes alone, but has this always been the case? The new report How Was Life? aims to fill this gap. It presents the first systematic evidence on long-term trends in global well-being since 1820 for 25 major countries and 8 regions in the world covering more than 80% of the world’s population. It not only shows the data but also discusses the underlying sources and their limitations, pays attention to country averages and inequality, and pinpoints avenues for further research. The How Was Life? report is the product of collaboration between the OECD, the OECD Development Centre and the CLIO-INFRA project. It represents the culmination of work by a group of economic historians to systematically chart long-term changes in the dimensions of global well-being and inequality, making use of the most recent research carried out within the discipline. The historical evidence reviewed in the report is organised around 10 different dimensions of well-being that mirror those used by the OECD in its well-being report How’s Life?, and draw on the best sources and expertise currently available for historical perspectives in this field. These dimensions are:per capita GDP, real wages, educational attainment, life expectancy, height, personal security, political institutions, environmental quality, income inequality and gender inequality.

    Abstract: This pioneering collection explores the ways in which positive, pleasure-focused approaches to sexuality can empower women. Gender and development has tended to engage with sexuality only in relation to violence and ill-health. Although this has been hugely important in challenging violence against women, over-emphasizing these negative aspects has dovetailed with conservative ideologies that associate women's sexualities with danger and fear. On the other hand, the media, the pharmaceutical industry, and pornography more broadly celebrate the pleasures of sex in ways that can be just as oppressive, often implying that only certain types of people - young, heterosexual, able-bodied, HIV-negative - are eligible for sexual pleasure. Women, Sexuality and the Political Power of Pleasure brings together challenges to these strictures and exclusions from both the South and North of the globe, with examples of activism, advocacy and programming which use pleasure as an entry point. It shows how positive approaches to pleasure and sexuality can enhance equality and empowerment for all.

    Abstract: This path-breaking volume explores cultures of energy, the underlying but under-appreciated dimensions of both crisis and innovation in resource use around the globe. Theoretical chapters situate pressing energy issues in larger conceptual frames, and ethnographic case studies reveal energy as it is imagined, used, and contested in a variety of cultural contexts. Contributors address issues including the connection between resource flows and social relationships in energy systems; cultural transformation and notions of progress and collapse; the blurring of technology and magic; social tensions that accompany energy contraction; and sociocultural changes required in affluent societies to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. Each of five thematic sections concludes with an integrative and provocative conversation among the authors. The volume is an ideal tool for teaching unique, contemporary, and comparative perspectives on social theories of science and technology in undergraduate and graduate courses.

    Keywords: Einwanderung ; Migration ; USA
    Abstract: The recent reawakening of the debate about migration in the new millennium has evoked intense emotion, particularly in the United States and Europe, and Global Crossings cuts through the jungle of myth, falsehood, and misrepresentation that dominates the debate, clarifying the causes and consequences of human migration. The book first looks at the immigrant experience, which connects the present to the past, and America to the rest of the world, and explores who immigrants are and why they move. It contends that the conduct of today is no different than that in the past, and contrary to the claims by immigration critics, the patterns of contemporary migration do not differ fundamentally from those of other epochs. The book then discusses immigration and culture and tackles assimilation, globalization, and cultural differences. In assessing whether critics are justified in pointing to a major cultural shift, award-winning author Alvaro Vargas Llosa reviews such topics as religion, education, entrepreneurial spirit, and attitudes toward the receiving society, and analyzes economic factors that include jobs, wages, education, and the welfare state. The book concludes that immigration's contributions to an economy far outweigh the costs, and it makes a call for open minds and provides a pro-immigration agenda for reform.

    Keywords: Literatur ; Aborigines ; Australien
    Abstract: Indigenous Australian cultures were long known to the world mainly from the writing of anthropologists, ethnographers, historians, missionaries, and others. Indigenous Australians themselves have worked across a range of genres to challenge and reconfigure this textual legacy, so that they are now strongly represented through their own life-narratives of identity, history, politics, and culture. Even as Indigenous-authored texts have opened up new horizons of engagement with Aboriginal knowledge and representation, however, the textual politics of some of these narratives - particularly when cross-culturally produced or edited - can remain haunted by colonially grounded assumptions about orality and literacy.Through an examination of key moments in the theorizing of orality and literacy and key texts in cross-culturally produced Indigenous life-writing, Entangled Subjects explores how some of these works can sustain, rather than trouble, the frontier zone established by modernity in relation to 'talk' and 'text'. Yet contemporary Indigenous vernaculars offer radical new approaches to how we might move beyond the orality-literacy 'frontier', and how modernity and the a-modern are productively entangled in the process.

    Abstract: Drawing on a wide range of source materials from across Scotland, this sourcebook provides new insights into women's attitudes to the society in which they lived, and how they negotiated their identities within private and public life. Organised in thematic chapters, it moves from the private and intimate experiences of sexuality, health and sickness to Scotswomen's migrations across the British empire, illustrating many facets of women's lives - domesticity and waged work, defiance of law and convention, religious faith and respectability, political action and public influence. A range of fascinating and rich source material sheds new light on the lives of women across Scotland throughout the long nineteenth century, demonstrating the pervasiveness of discourses of appropriate feminine behaviour, but also women's subversion of this. It raises challenging questions for researchers about the identification of women's voices, where these have been muted by class, religion, or ethnicity, while at the same time providing a methodology for uncovering these. Thought-provoking and innovative, this text will prove an invaluable resource for students, teachers and researchers. It will enable them to discover new ways of understanding the Scottish past and serve as a guide to redressing the gender imbalance of historical narratives. Key Features:.
