    Abstract: "Theories of intersectionality have fundamentally transformed how feminists and critical race scholars understand the relationship between race and gender, but are often limited in their focus on contemporary experiences of interlocking oppressions. In The Specter of Sex, Sally L. Kitch explores the "backstory" of intersectionality theory - the historical formation of the racial and gendered hierarchies that continue to structure U.S. culture today." --Book Jacket

In contrast to the dominant characterization of a "Shining India" in recent years, these articles present a complex and multi-dimensional reality, essential for a balanced, objective understanding of the issues that shape today's Ind

    Abstract: "The model I have drawn here attempts to accommodate both time and space. It may appear similar to the more old-fashioned 'Chinese world order, ' and indeed there are some similarities, but that older model failed to account for change over time and was, first and foremost, concerned with diplomatic relations. The model of the Sinosphere attempts to embrace intraregional relations in all their varying cultural and political complexities. The nature of Sino-Japanese ties may have been altogether different in the last third of the nineteenth century from what they were within the Sinosphere, but memory of the bond that had long linked China and Japan, I would argue, remained, if only as a lingering recollection. The Treaty of Amity, signed in 1871 ... bespeaks a time when respect worked both ways-a graded respect, to be sure, but nonetheless something tying the two states other than power and military obligations."--Jacket

    Abstract: This book presents a collection of comparative studies of civil society around two main issues: the comparison and analysis of civil society regimes in relation to different constructions of citizenship and welfare states and the role of civil society in governance and active participation of citizens. The first part of the book is concerned with comparisons of civil society institutional frameworks and regimes. In this section the contributions address the ways institutional cross-countries comparisons may be undertaken and discuss the extent to which common trends or divergent tendencies characterize national civil societies. The second part focuses on the role of civil society as a vector of citizens' participation and as an avenue for democracy. Democratic citizenship is often considered as requiring, in addition to a set of formal rights and obligations, a public sphere within which citizens can actively participate within and beyond the state. Building on international comparisons the articles in this section discuss the extent to and the modalities by which civil society is crucial to the functioning of democracy and the plain exercise of citizenship

    Abstract: This fascinating biography tells the story of nineteenth-century America through the life of one of its most magnetic and influential characters: Sojourner Truth. In an in-depth account of this amazing activist, Margaret Washington unravels Sojourner Truth's world within the broader panorama of African American slavery and the nation's most significant reform era. Organized chronologically into three distinct eras of Truth's life, Sojourner Truth's America examines the complex dynamics of the times in which she acted, beginning with the transnational contours of her spirituality and early life as a slave. Washington then highlights Truth's awakening during nineteenth-century America's progressive surge, which propelled her ascendancy as a rousing preacher and political orator despite her inability to read and write. Throughout the book, Washington explores Truth's passionate commitment to family and community, including her vision for a beloved community that extended beyond race, gender, and socioeconomic condition and embraced a common humanity. For Sojourner Truth, the significant model for such communalism was a primitive, prophetic Christianity. Illustrated with dozens of images of Truth and her contemporaries, Sojourner Truth's America provides important insights into the turbulent cultural and political climate of the age while also separating the many myths from the facts concerning this legendary American figure

Historians have addressed the rise of romantic love and marriage in Europe and the United States, while anthropologists have explored the ways globalization has reshaped local ideas about those same topics. Yet, love in Africa has been peculiarly ignored, resulting in a serious lack of understanding about this vital element of social life-a glaring omission given the intense focus on sexuality in Africa in the wake of HIV/AIDS. Love in Africa seeks both to understand this failure to consider love and to begin to correct it

    Abstract: "Social Structures is a book that examines how structural forms spontaneously arise from social relationships. Offering major insights into the building blocks of social life, it identifies which locally emergent structures have the capacity to grow into larger ones and shows how structural tendencies associated with smaller structures shape and constrain patterns of larger structures. The book then investigates the role such structures have played in the emergence of the modern nation-state."--BOOK JACKET.

    Abstract: Dieser Band steht für ein Programm, das die Relevanz postkolonialer Theorien für die Soziologie aufzeigt. Er bringt die aktuellen Diskussionen zum Thema aus Kultur-, Migrations- und Geschlechtersoziologie mit dem Ziel zusammen, nicht nur die Grundbegriffe und zentralen Theorien im disziplinären Kontext, sondern auch ihre gesellschaftspolitischen Implikationen vor dem Hintergrund einer postkolonialen Perspektive zu überdenken. Die vorwiegend aus dem Fach stammenden Beiträge gehen dabei sowohl theorie-systematisch wie empirisch vor, um die postkoloniale Perspektive in der Soziologie nachhaltig zu verankern

    Abstract: Entgegen anderslautenden Prognosen ist die Begriffsgeschichte heute aktueller denn je. Ihre Relevanz verdankt sie, so die These dieses interdisziplinären Bandes, einer Entwicklung, durch die sie sich aus der Bindung an die großen Schulen und Theorien des 20. Jahrhunderts befreit hat, um ihre Vorgehensweise konsequent an der Heterogenität ihres Materials auszurichten und sich damit ihrer eigentlichen Aufgabe zu widmen: der Erforschung der das Wissen strukturierenden Begriffssemantiken und ihrer Wanderungsbewegungen zwischen den unterschiedlichsten Disziplinen der Natur- und Geisteswissenschaften. Die vorliegenden Studien, u.a. zu Begriffen wie Funktion, Katastrophe, Triebfeder und Pfropfen, belegen einmal mehr die Leistungsfähigkeit dieses Ansatzes

    Abstract: Populäre Bilder von Wissenschaft werden von Druck- und elektronischen Medien verbreitet. Sie gehören zum Alltagswissen. Wo kommen sie her und wie werden sie gemacht? Gibt es Beziehungen zwischen den Bildern, die in den Wissenschaften produziert werden, und dem Bild, das sich die Öffentlichkeit von Wissenschaft macht? Wenn ja, wie lassen sich diese Beziehungen beschreiben? Der Band untersucht den Zusammenhang zwischen Bildern in der Wissenschaft und von der Wissenschaft vom 19. Jahrhundert bis in die Gegenwart: Bilder vom Frosch im Laborexperiment bis zu den Phantasiewelten der Nanotechnologie, denen im Spielfilm und anderen populären Medien die Bilder des 'mad scientist' wie Frankenstein und Dr. Caligari, aber auch des Fortschritts im Hochtechnologielabor gegenüberstehen. Die Beiträge bieten vielfältige Perspektiven auf das Problem, wie Bilder als Medium die 'Innenwelt' der Wissenschaft mit der 'Außenwelt' eines Laienpublikums verbinden

Doch wann und wie entstehen kulturelle Innovationen? Welche ökonomischen und politischen Wirkungen kann Kultur entfalten? In Erweiterung von Richard Floridas These, dass der ökonomische Aufschwung einer Stadt von ihrer kulturellen Innovationskraft abhängt, gehen die Autorinnen und Autoren diesen Fragen nach und leisten damit einen entscheidenden Beitrag, das Zusammenspiel von künstlerischer und ökonomischer Innovationskraft, von kultureller Heterogenität, Kreativität und Gemeinschaftsentwicklung zu erklären

    Abstract: Wer auf das 20. Jahrhundert zurückschaut, der sieht sich konfrontiert mit einer erstaunlichen Regelmäßigkeit von Unfällen und Katastrophen. Mal mehr, mal weniger häufig, mal lokal begrenzt und dann von globaler Prominenz: Unfälle gelten einerseits als das Paradigma des Unvorhersehbaren und Zerstörerischen. Andererseits lernen Kulturen offensichtlich so regelmäßig aus den Störungen ihres technischen Fortschritts, dass sich die Frage nach einem Zusammenhang von Unfall und Wissensgeschichte geradezu aufdrängt. Ist unsere kulturelle Ordnung paradoxerweise deshalb stabil, weil es Unfälle gibt?Mit einem Vorwort von Paul Virilio

Der Band widmet sich der theoretischen Grundlegung des Konzepts der Konglomerationen und enthält Projektskizzen, in denen die Suche nach alltäglichen Verunsicherungsphänomenen aufgenommen wurde, anhand deren Alltagspraktiken subjektiver Ab- und Entsicherung untersucht werden können

    Abstract: In Zeiten beschleunigten gesellschaftlichen Wandels hat das Generationsthema Konjunktur. Die wissenschaftsgeschichtliche Rekonstruktion des Generationenverständnisses seit der Antike offenbart jedoch, dass die bei Karl Mannheim angelegte Verbindung von Generationstheorie und Theorien des sozialen Wandels im Zuge der Professionalisierung der Soziologie verloren ging.Diese Studie schlägt durch eine innovative Interpretation der klassischen Vorlage die Brücke zu aktuellen Theorieentwicklungen. Unter Rückgriff auf die Analysen von Margaret S. Archer und Shmuel N. Eisenstadt stellt die Reformulierung des Generationskonzeptes den Konstitutionsprozess historischer Generationen als einen sozialen Mechanismus kulturellen Wandels und kollektiver Kreativität heraus. Damit wird nicht nur der Anschluss an die makrosoziologische Diskussion neu eröffnet, sondern auch die kulturtheoretische Frage nach der Vermittlung von Biographie und Geschichte wieder aufgenommen

    Abstract: Gesellschaftliche Krisenlagen - etwa des Arbeitsmarktes oder der Familie - werden in diesem Buch als Sinnkrisen interpretiert. In Biografien von Männern und Frauen spürt die Untersuchung den sinnstiftenden Momenten der persönlichen Lebensführung nach. Die hier verfolgte subjekttheoretische Wendung der Geschlechterdifferenzforschung zeigt geschlechtsspezifische biografische Widersprüche vor allem als Effekt der Anerkennungsordnung. Mit ihrem Ausblick auf eine »Kultur der Bewährung« wirft die Autorin ein neues Licht auf das aktuelle und brisante Thema der Integration

    Abstract: From a decidedly multidisciplinary perspective, the articles in Transnational Political Spaces address the notion that political space is no longer fully congruent with national borders. Instead there are areas called transnational political spaces—caused by factors such as migration and social transformation—where policy occurs oblivious to national pressure. Organized into three sections—transnational actors, transnational spaces, and critical encounters—this volume explains how these spaces are formed and defined and how they can be traced and conceptualized.Aus interdisziplinärer Perspektive gehen die Beiträge der Frage nach, wie transnationale politische Räume hervorgebracht und gestaltet werden. Dabei sind diese nicht rein territorial definiert: Einbezogen werden Identitäten und Interaktionen, die nationale Grenzen überschreiten – wie sie etwa durch Migration entstehen.

The authors discuss options for policy initiatives that can foster technological innovation in the pursuit of faster and sustainable growth. The various chapters highlight how the emergence of an integrated global market affects the impact of national inno

    Abstract: Stadtpläne übersetzen den dreidimensionalen urbanen Raum in eine zweidimensionale Fläche. In der Verschränkung von Bild, Text und topographischen Daten sind sie ein anschauliches Beispiel für die »Textualität des Raumes«. So generieren Stadtpläne in den unterschiedlichsten Medien innovative Erzählformen.Aus literatur- und kulturwissenschaftlichem Blickwinkel stellt »Metropolen im Maßstab« die Kartographien von Bleston, Berlin, Paris, London, Istanbul, Los Angeles, New York, Montréal, Havanna sowie Cuzco, Abancay und Chimbote in Peru ins Zentrum und betrachtet ihre Übersetzungen in künstlerische Artefakte. Am Leitfaden von Text-, Bild- und Filmlektüren ergibt sich ein Panorama aktueller raumtheoretischer und urbanistischer Diskurse

    Abstract: Sie gelten als Agenten und Treiber der Globalisierung: die in den Finanzmetropolen tätigen Manager. In diesem reich bebilderten Buch werden erstmals hochmobile Expatriates in ihrem alltäglichen Handeln direkt an städtischen Orten betrachtet. Wo und warum halten sich die Finanzmanager in den Städten auf? Wie betrachten sie bestimmte urbane Orte und erleben diese?Interviews und Beobachtungen zeigen die alltäglichen Handlungen der männlichen deutschen Finanzmanager in London und Singapur und lassen so die meist unsichtbar bleibenden Identitäten der weißen und globalen Elite sichtbar werden. Die vergleichende Analyse des Alltags in beiden Städten macht die Bedeutung des besonderen Ortes für das Handeln deutlich. Die ehemals koloniale Beziehung zwischen dem Zentrum London und der Peripherie Singapur ist noch heute für das Handeln der Finanzmanager bedeutsam. Es zeigt sich: Die Finanzmanager passen sich in den Ort ein

    Abstract: »Kooperation« ist zum Schlüsselbegriff regionaler Innovationsfähigkeit avanciert. Aber wie initiiert man Kooperation zwischen regionalen Organisationen, wenn diese selbst keinen Anlass dafür erkennen? Tradierte Vorstellungen über »passende« Kooperationspartner verhindern, sich unkonventionell auf vorhandene Akteure einzulassen - wodurch Innovationschancen vergeben werden.In dieser Fallstudie wird der Organisationsansatz von Karl Weick erstmalig dazu verwendet, den Aufbau einer netzwerkförmigen Kooperation zu analysieren. Unter anderem wird gezeigt, wie die sich selbst verstärkenden Zirkel institutionalisierter Sichtweisen aufbrechen können

These proceedings present the outcomes of a geosphere stability workshop, held in November 2007, that focused on crystalline and other types of hard, fractured rocks. The workshop underscored the fact that many such rocks are intrinsically stable environments that evolve extremely slowly and provide good buffering against external events and processes. The

    Abstract: Regulatory impact analysis (RIA) is a systemic approach to critically assessing the positive and negative effects of proposed and existing regulations and non-regulatory alternatives. This publication brings together recent OECD research and analysis concerning methodological issues and country experiences with RIA. The collected papers cover a number of challenges to the effectiveness of RIA including: systemic factors which influence the quality of RIA; methodological frameworks that can assist RIA to improve regulation; guidance on using RIA to avoid unnecessary regulation of competitive ma

    Abstract: The first U.S. charter school opened in 1992, and the scale of the charter movement has since grown to 4,000 schools and more than a million students in 40 states plus the District of Columbia. With this growth has also come a contentious debate about the effects of the schools on their own students and on students in nearby traditional public schools (TPSs). In recent years, research has begun to inform this debate, but many of the key outcomes have not been adequately examined, or have been examined in only a few states. Do the conflicting conclusions of different studies reflect real differences in effects driven by variation in charter laws and policies? Or do they reflect differences in research approaches --some of which may be biased? This book examines four primary research questions: (1) What are the characteristics of students transferring to charter schools? (2) What effect do charter schools have on test-score gains for students who transfer between TPSs and charter schools? (3) What is the effect of attending a charter high school on the probability of graduating and of entering college? (4) What effect does the introduction of charter schools have on test scores of students in nearby TPSs?

    Abstract: "Concerns about how terrorists might attack in the future are central to the design of security efforts to protect both individual targets and the nation overall. In thinking about emerging threats, security planners are confronted by a panoply of possible future scenarios coming from sources ranging from the terrorists themselves to red-team brainstorming efforts to explore ways adversaries might attack in the future. This paper explores an approach to assessing emerging and/or novel threats and deciding whether, or how much, they should concern security planners by asking two questions: (1) Are some of the novel threats 'niche threats' that should be addressed within existing security efforts? (2) Which of the remaining threats are attackers most likely to execute successfully and should therefore be of greater concern for security planners? If threats can reasonably be considered niche threats, they can be prudently addressed in the context of existing security activities. If threats are unusual enough, suggest significant new vulnerabilities, or their probability or consequences means they cannot be considered lesser included cases within other threats, prioritizing them based on their ease of execution provides a guide for which threats merit the greatest concern and most security attention. This preserves the opportunity to learn from new threats yet prevents security planners from being pulled in many directions simultaneously by attempting to respond to every threat at once."--Page 4 of cover

    Abstract: "This collection of papers is the sixth volume in the Comparative Austronesian series. The papers that comprise this volume examine the concept of precedence as a form of local discourse and as a mechanism for ordering status, at different levels, within specific Austronesian-speaking societies. This is the first volume of its kind to focus entirely on precedence and to provide an explication of its social uses and the way in which it is contested. Each paper is ethnographically-focused and offers its own distinctive approach to the examination of precedence. The papers, however, relate closely to one another and are thus able to proffer a variety of comparative reflections."--Publisher's description.

    Abstract: Whether U.S. terrorism-prevention efforts match the threat continues to be central in policy debate. Part of this debate is whether the United States needs a dedicated domestic counterterrorism intelligence agency. To inform future policy decisionmaking, this book examines, from a variety of perspectives, the policy proposal that such an agency be created. These include its possible capabilities, comparing its potential effectiveness with that of current efforts, and its acceptability to the public, as well as various balances and trade-offs involved in creating such an agency. Reflecting the limits in the data available and the significant uncertainty associated with this policy area, if there is a unifying message from the study, it is one of caution and deliberation. In an area in which direct assessment and analysis are limited, there is a need to carefully consider the implications and potential outcomes of such significant policy changes. In doing so, examination from different perspectives and through different approaches -- to ideally capture a sufficient picture of the complexity to see not just the benefits we hope to gain from policy change but the layers of effects and interactions that could either help or hurt the chances of those benefits appearing -- is a critical ingredient of policy deliberation and design

    Abstract: China is now a global actor of significant and growing importance. It is active in regions and on issues that were once only peripheral to its interests, and it is effectively using tools previously unavailable. It is no longer appropriate to talk of integrating China into the international system; by and large, it is already there. Its international behavior is clearly altering the dynamics of the current international system, but it is not transforming its structure. China's global activism is continually changing and has so many dimensions that it immediately raises questions about its current and future intentions and the implications for global stability and prosperity. This study examines how China views its security environment, how it defines its international objectives, how it is pursuing these objectives, and the consequences for U.S. economic and security interests.--Publisher description

    Abstract: "To address its security challenges, the United States needs the active support of its allies. This means, in particular, ensuring that the states of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) remain able and willing to make a contribution to resolving their common security problems wherever possible. The revision of NATO's strategic concept offers an excellent opportunity to further this aim. It is a chance to build consensus about the future and thereby steer the alliance in a direction that will help keep it relevant. This paper examines five possible directions--refocus on Europe, new focus on the greater Middle East, focus on fragile states, focus on nonstate threats, and a global alliance of liberal democracies--the alliance might adopt, assessing them against certain key political and military criteria. It offers those involved in the rewrite both a range of potential options and a preliminary assessment of the feasibility and potential implications of each. The purpose is to encourage debate around the major, concrete problems that member states face."--RAND web site

    Parallel Title: Print version Saudi-Iranian relations since the fall of Saddam
    Keywords: Middle East ; Persian Gulf States ; Saudi Arabia ; United States ; Diplomatic relations ; international relations ; Saudi Arabia ; Iran ; Middle East ; Regions & Countries - Asia & the Middle East ; Iran ; History & Archaeology ; POLITICAL SCIENCE ; Government ; International ; POLITICAL SCIENCE ; International Relations ; General ; United States Foreign relations ; Iran Foreign relations ; Saudi Arabia Foreign relations ; Persian Gulf States Foreign relations ; United States ; Iran ; Saudi Arabia ; Persian Gulf States ; Electronic books
    Abstract: The often tense relationship between Saudi Arabia and Iran has been at the center of many of the major political shifts that have occurred in the Middle East since the fall of Saddam Hussein in 2003. This volume documents a study of how relations between the two powers have unfolded in the Persian Gulf, Iraq, Lebanon, and Palestine from 2003 through January 2009. Wehrey et al. detail the complex and multidimensional relationship between Saudi Arabia and Iran and its implications for regional stability and U.S. interests. In doing so, the authors challenge conventional thinking about Saudi-Iranian relations, arguing, for example, that Sunni-Shi'a distinctions are not the key driver in dealings between the two nations, that the two states have a tendency to engage on areas of common interest, and that the notion of a watertight bloc of Gulf Arab states opposing Iran is increasingly unrealistic. The study concludes with U.S. policy recommendations for leveraging the Saudi-Iranian relationship, particularly in the context of a U.S. drawdown in Iraq, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, and the Iranian nuclear issue

    Keywords: Victims of crimes Legal status, laws, etc ; Victims of crimes ; Electronic books ; LAW ; Jurisprudence ; Victims of crimes ; Legal status, laws, etc ; Criminal Law & Procedure - U.S ; Law - U.S ; Law, Politics & Government ; United States ; LAW ; Administrative Law & Regulatory Practice ; Electronic books
    Abstract: Clinics have dealt with a range of victims' rights issues in trial courts, including the rights to be present, to be consulted about plea offers, to make an impact statement, to be notified of changes in defendants' detention status, to restitution, and to privacy. However, the principal issue has been victims' standing before the court to enforce their rights. In some states, standing has been acknowledged, at least in limited ways. In other states, clinics have made or are making steps toward such recognition or have been successful in representing victims without the issue being directly confronted. In one state, attorneys' ability to represent victims in criminal court is currently in serious question. This book discusses how some clinics have won significant gains at the appellate and federal court levels concerning victim standing, the rights to be consulted and heard, and the right to privacy. The authors conclude that the state clinics are beginning to fulfill the intentions of their architects and funders. All of the clinics have pushed the envelope of victims' rights in their state courts. Some have won significant victories in gaining standing for victims and expanding the definition of particular rights. Others are enjoined in the battle. But all have raised awareness of victims' rights with prosecutors, judges, defense attorneys, and police officials

    Abstract: Exposure to community and interpersonal violence is a public health crisis that adversely affects many children in American communities. After witnessing or experiencing trauma, many children experience symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and depression, behavioral problems, substance abuse, and poor school performance. The Support for Students Exposed to Trauma (SSET) program is a series of ten lessons whose structured approach aims to reduce distress resulting from exposure to trauma. Designed to be implemented by teachers or school counselors in groups of 8-10 middle school students, the program includes a wide variety of skill-building techniques geared toward changing maladaptive thoughts and promoting positive behaviors. It is also intended to increase levels of peer and parent support for affected students. Designed for SSET group leaders, the Group Leader Training Manual introduces the SSET concept and provides detailed information on selecting student participants, scheduling lessons, assuring confidentiality, coordinating with clinical backup, managing difficult situations and issues, and conducting group meetings. The Lesson Plans section supplies group leader preparation information and in-depth plans for each lesson, including agendas, example scenarios, suggestions for troubleshooting specific problems, homework assignment instructions, and cross-references to other program documentation. Take-home worksheets, letters to parents, forms, and other program materials are supplied in the section entitled Lesson Worksheets and Materials

    Abstract: The U.S. military is ill-equipped to strike at extremists who hide in populations. Using deadly force against them can harm and alienate the very people whose cooperation U.S. forces are trying to earn. To solve this problem, a new RAND study proposes a "continuum of force"--A suite of capabilities that includes sound, light, lasers, cell phones, and video cameras. These technologies are available but have received insufficient attention

    Abstract: RAND Arroyo Center examined the question of how the Army can help make key civilian agencies more capable partners in the planning and execution of stability, security, transition, and reconstruction (SSTR) operations. The authors identify the primary and secondary civilian agencies that should be involved in strategic-level planning and implementation of SSTR operations. Then, relying on available information on Provincial Reconstruction Teams and using a variety of federal databases, the authors identify the skill sets needed for the envisioned Field Advance Civilian Teams and where these skills reside in the federal government. The authors then assess the capacity of the main civilian agencies to participate in SSTR operations and analyze the recurring structural problems that have plagued their attempts to do so. The authors suggest a series of options that are worth considering in order to improve the current situation. Even without much action at the national level, the Army can still improve the situation by improving Army Civil Affairs and by executing a well-thought-out strategy of liaison officers assigned to the civilian agencies most important for SSTR operations

    Abstract: "Australia's strategic depiction of China has assumed increased importance as it attempts to harmonise economic interests (focusing on China) with security interests (primarily the United States). In this period of strategic transition, how Australia incorporates the rise of China into its existing security commitment under ANZUS has become a delicate issue. This investigation follows the intriguing evolution of the Howard Government's depictions of China, and reveals a complex and calculated strategy that successfully transformed a potentially volatile conflict of interests into a functional foreign policy."--Publisher's description.

So ist sie nicht nur ökologisches System, sondern auch vieldeutiges Symbol: 'locus amoenus' und 'locus terribilis', einerseits Wildnis und andererseits grandiose, heimatliche, heroische, idyllische Landschaft.Facettenreich und inspirierend stellen die Analysen zu verschiedenen Epochen und Kulturen (Deutschland, England, Frankreich, Holland, Italien, Ungarn, USA, China) die »Natur«-Zugänge unterschiedlicher Disziplinen vor

    Abstract: Der Begriff der Individualisierung stellt seit den Anfängen der Soziologie bis zur ausgearbeiteten Individualisierungsthese einen wichtigen Teil der Gesellschaftstheorie dar. Insbesondere in den BA- und MA-Modulen zur Theorie und zur Geschichte der Soziologie, aber auch zur Sozialstrukturanalyse gehört der Begriff der Individualisierung daher zum festen Bestand des Curriculums.Diese Einführung gibt einen systematischen Überblick über die zentralen Facetten des Begriffs und die wichtigsten klassischen Theorien über Individualisierung. Schließlich skizziert sie die Aktualität des Individualisierungsgedankens angesichts des rapiden kulturellen und sozialstrukturellen Wandels in der Gesellschaft der Gegenwart

    Abstract: In diesem Buch, das zu den klassischen Werken der neueren Soziologie gezählt werden kann, beschäftigt sich Erving Goffman damit, wie wir uns in Situationen verhalten, in denen wir anderen begegnen. Goffman sucht Interaktionsmuster in den alltäglichsten Handlungsformen, wie etwa im gegenseitigen Anblicken oder in der höflichen Gleichgültigkeit, die wir Unbekannten gegenüber im Aufzug zeigen. Diese Muster leitet er aus den detaillierten Beschreibungen von Etikettenbüchern ab, greift aber auch auf seine Beobachtungen in der Psychiatrie zurück. Dabei entdeckt er, dass die Interaktion zwischen Menschen selbst schon eine Art Öffentlichkeit ist, die durch unsere gegensei- tige Wahrnehmung entsteht, und analysiert diese Öffentlichkeit in einer Feinheit und Genauigkeit, die noch immer ihresgleichen sucht.

    Abstract: Wie viel Kultur steckt in Konflikten? In welchem Zusammenhang stehen etwa Geschlechterverhältnisse, patriarchale Herrschaft, mediale Manipulation und kulturelle Gewalt?Dieser Band fragt nach dem Anteil kultureller Aspekte bei der Entstehung und (gewalttätigen) Austragung von Konflikten. In den Beiträgen, die im interdisziplinären Forschungsnetzwerk »Kultur & Konflikt« (Klagenfurt) entstanden sind, nimmt der Terminus »Kultur des Friedens« die Rolle einer konkreten Utopie ein - visionär genug, um ein großes, längerfristiges Ziel abzugeben, und konkret genug, um sich ihm in messbaren Schritten zu nähern

    Abstract: Die Sozialforschung ist seit ihren Anfängen von technischen Medien geprägt - doch erst seit Kurzem wird die Aufmerksamkeit der Sozialforscher auf diesen bislang blinden Fleck der Wissenschaftstheorie gelenkt. Sebastian Ziegaus geht einen Schritt weiter: Er analysiert das Zusammenspiel technischer und nicht-technischer Medien der Sozialforschung und lässt so erstmals die medialen und kommunikativen Bedingungen der verschiedenen Spielarten der Sozialforschung deutlich hervortreten. Er zeigt die Vorzüge, die es mit sich bringt, wenn Forscher und die von ihnen untersuchten Personen und Systeme als Kommunikatoren betrachtet und behandelt werden, die miteinander kommunizieren.Ein innovativer Ansatz, der Perspektiven für eine zeitgemäße Sozialforschung im 21. Jahrhundert aufzeigt

    Abstract: Die Systemtheorie Niklas Luhmanns beansprucht, einen Paradigmenwechsel von einer Identitäts- zu einer Differenzlogik zu vollziehen. Kann Sinn aber tatsächlich differenzlogisch verstanden werden? Das Buch widmet sich dieser Frage anhand zweier zentraler Erklärungsdefizite: Einerseits sind in den Kommunikationsprozessen zwischen Funktionssystemen Sinnstrukturen zu finden, die nicht differenzlogisch erklärt werden können (»Hybridisierung«, dargelegt an einer objektiv-hermeneutischen Analyse des »The President's Council on Bioethics«). Andererseits zeigt eine Exegese des Sinnbegriffs, dass Luhmann sich identitätslogischer Konzepte bedient, um die System/Umwelt-Wechselwirkung zu erklären

    Abstract: Der wissenschaftliche Rassismus untermauerte seine Theorien durch eine ungeheure Knochensammlung, deren Beschaffung im 19. Jahrhundert eine regelrechte Skelettomanie auslöste. Die Jagd nach den Gebeinen der anderen missachtete jede Pietät. Sie störte die Totenruhe, raubte Leichen und schändete die Körper Verstorbener, deren Überreste zur Konstruktion typischer Rassenkörper dienten. Sie sollten Devianz gegenüber der weißen Norm demonstrieren - ihre öffentliche Zurschaustellung visualisierte und popularisierte die Rassentheorien und erlaubte den Betrachtern die Akkumulation rassistischen symbolischen Kapitals.Die Beiträge des Bandes untersuchen diesen Prozess an den Beispielen von Angelo Soliman, Sarah Baartman, El Negro und Truganini

    Abstract: Der Assimilationsbegriff steht für ein Ensemble migrationssoziologischer Theorien, die sich um den konzeptionellen Kerngedanken der Angleichung von Immigranten gruppieren. Zugleich strukturiert er die politischen Auseinandersetzungen in den westlichen Einwanderungsländern.Jutta Aumüller zeichnet die theoretischen Konzepte der Assimilation in einer geschichtlichen Perspektive nach und kontrastiert sie mit den politischen Diskursen um Integration und Assimilation von zugewanderten Minderheiten seit der Nationalstaatsbewegung im 19. Jahrhundert.Ein kenntnisreicher diskursanalytischer Beitrag zur gegenwärtigen Debatte um Einwanderung und Integration

    Abstract: Wie sind Schönheit, Gesundheit und die Konstitution des modernen Subjekts zum Gegenstand gesellschaftlicher Diskurse geworden? Ausgehend von dieser Frage zeichnen die Autorinnen und Autoren dieses Bandes die Geschichte des modernen Selbst im Spannungsfeld von Ethik und Ästhetik nach.Dabei wird das jüngst in den historischen Kulturwissenschaften aufkommende Interesse am Selbst in zweierlei Hinsicht korrigiert: Zum einen stellen die Studien die eminent bedeutsame Verbindung von Ethik und Ästhetik ins Zentrum und zum anderen können so - jenseits von idealtypischen Rekonstruktionen - erste Thesen zu Kontinuitäten und Brüchen in der Geschichte des Selbst aufgestellt werden. Es wird ersichtlich: Eine Geschichte der Moderne kann nicht mehr ohne eine Geschichte des Selbst auskommen

    Abstract: Wie werden Körper gefährlich? Dieser Frage liegt die These zugrunde, dass soziale Prozesse der In- und Exklusion, der Normalisierung und Marginalisierung von Menschen und Gruppen immer auch eine körperliche Dimension haben.Das Buch verknüpft erstmals die für die Soziologie seit längerem virulente Frage nach der Bedeutung des Körperlichen mit Theorien zu sozialer Ungleichheit, zu Stadt und Raum sowie zur Sicherheitsgesellschaft und illustriert diese auch empirisch an einem innerstädtischen »gefährlichen Ort«. Auf diesem Wege wird eine Öffnung der körperlichen Dimension des Sozialen für eine kritische Gesellschaftstheorie erreicht

    Abstract: Die Themen »Auswanderung« und »Fremdheit« stehen eng mit dem Medium Film in Verbindung: Wie das politische Exil oder die existentielle Erfahrung der Unbehaustheit hat auch das Kino wesentlich Anteil an der Conditio des 20. Jahrhunderts und erscheint daher als geeignete Kunstform, um moderne Migrationsphänomene zu reflektieren. Zudem konstituieren Bewegungsphasen wie Anfang, Wechsel und Ankunft sowohl die Auswanderung als auch Erzählstrukturen und technische Bedingungen des Filmischen.Vor diesem Hintergrund leistet der interdisziplinär angelegte Band mit Beiträgen zu Werken von Chaplin bis Spielberg einen aktuellen kultur- und medienwissenschaftlichen Beitrag zur Migrationsforschung aus neuer Perspektive

Innerhalb eines breiten historischen und räumlichen Kontexts fragt dieses Buch, wie Ideen soziale und kulturelle Bedeutung erlangen. Über welche Darstellungsformen werden sie kommuniziert? Wie werden über Ideen und Darstellungen Wirklichkeiten geschaffen?Die Beiträge betrachten symbolische Repräsentationen des Anderen in sozialen Ordnungen in den Amerikas: Sie gehen auf die vor-, koloniale und postkoloniale Zeit ein und beziehen sich vor allem auf den lateinamerikanischen Raum. Im Vordergrund stehen die kulturell konnotierte Vorstellung und symbolische Darstellung von Differenz im Kontext machtpolitischer Auseinandersetzungen und deren unterschiedlich erfahrene Wirklichkeiten

    Abstract: This book is available as open access through the Bloomsbury Open Access programme and is available on www.bloomsburycollections.com. This book considers the social and economic damage wrought by neo-liberalism, in Britain and beyond. Paul Taylor analyses the effects of the increasing inequalities of income and wealth in recent years, concluding that a wide range of problems for the middle sections of society can be traced to the appearance of a class of the 'über-rich', the example they set and the demands they make. He takes the view that what has happened is the opposite of the much vaunted 'trickle-down effect'; there is actually a 'trickle-up effect' not only in the distribution of wealth but also in the ownership of property and access to education, medicine and the law. He goes on to look at the government's failure to deal effectively with these problems, putting them in the context of the need to deal with the threat of terrorism and the effects of globalization. The book is highly relevant to the current crisis in the global financial system, especially with regard to its effects in the UK and USA, but it places that crisis in the context of wider developments

    Abstract: Intellectual integrity and a challenge to rhetoric are the two strategic objectives of those who take up the hazardous path of sociological knowledge. This book does not presume to respond fully, but at least attempts to target these aims. The fruit of many years' teaching and research experience, it adopts a line of interpretation that highlights the point of view of the social agent considered in his close, symbiotic and procedural relation with the society in which he acts; this society is not abstract and generic but explored and construed in the tangible dimension of daily life and social relations. The book is organised with a practically identical layout in all the chapters: in dialogue format it proceeds from the identification of the categories central to the issue addressed through to its empirical application/s, hinging the two together with contributions from the sociological school or writer most relevant to the subject in question

    Abstract: This book is available as open access through the Bloomsbury Open Access programme and is available on www.bloomsburycollections.com. Despite their very different histories, societies, political and legal systems, Russia and the UK stand out as favouring a punitive approach to young law breakers, imprisoning many more children than any other European countries. The book is based on the author's primary research in Russia in which she visited a dozen closed institutions from St Petersburg to Krasnoyarsk and on similar research in England and Northern Ireland. The result is a unique study of how attitudes to youth crime and criminal justice, the political environment and the relationship between state and society have interacted to influence the treatment of young offenders. McAuley's account of the twists and turns in policy towards youth illuminate the extraordinary history of Russia in the twentieth century and the making of social policy in Russia today. It is also the first study to compare the UK (excluding Scotland because of its separate juvenile justice system) with Russia, a comparison which highlights the factors responsible for the making of 'punitive' policy in the two societies. McAuley places the Russian and UK policies in a European context, aiming to reveal how other European countries manage to put so many fewer children behind bars

    Abstract: Ce volume de Profils américains comprend une introduction et onze contributions. L'introduction rappelle la place du réalisme howellsien dans les années 1870-1890, résumant les différentes périodes de l'œuvre, ses thématiques ainsi que la réaction critique. Le chapitre de Heinz Ickstadt compare l'œuvre tardive de Howells avec celle de Henry James, les mettant toutes deux en regard avec le pragmatisme de William James. Le chapitre de Jean Rivière étudie la dimension « eurocentrique » de l'œuvre de Howells. Dans « The Angle(s) of Truth », Cécile Roudeau examine la façon dont le romancier concilie couleur locale et visée représentative. Dans « Reality/Realities/Realism », Denise Ginfray analyse le rapport du langage réaliste au sens et à la vérité. L'article de Claude Dorey met au jour le « scénario coupable » dissimulé sous la surface de The Rise of Silas Lapham, tandis que celui d'Erik Rorabak relit Silas Lapham à la lumière des théories de Walter Benjamin et de Guy Debord. L'étude proposée par Michèle Bonnet révèle un équilibre subtil entre comédie et analyse psychologique dans Indian Summer. Le chapitre de Nathalie Cochoy montre comment A Hazard of New Fortunes renouvelle le réalisme urbain, les mutations urbaines affectant à la fois le psychisme et l'écriture. Guillaume Tanguy se penche sur le rapport entre découverte de la métropole new-yorkaise et renouvellement esthétique. Enfin, Marc Amfreville révèle un visage inattendu de Howells, lié à l'utilisation du gothique et au motif de la « tache » indélébile que constitue le « sang noir » dans The Shadow of a Dream et An Imperative Duty respectivement

    Abstract: Mettre en tension la généalogie de la « matrice de race » et son imaginaire a constitué l'un des objectifs principaux des Journées d'Études Internationales organisées par le GRENAL autour des enjeux de « race/s ». À travers différentes analyses pratiques portant sur un corpus diversifié, ces journées ont mis l'accent sur certains biais dans la saisie de l'autre non-blanc qui empruntent encore largement au schéma racial. Que celui-ci soit assumé ouvertement ou transfiguré, conscient ou inconscient. L'imaginaire racial ne saurait cependant pas être réduit aux images des non-blancs; il implique une relation hiérarchique, induit des dispositifs de relégation ou de valorisation et, surtout, génère de puissantes identifications très contradictoires dont l'efficace sociale est incontestable

    Abstract: Based on multi-disciplinary studies conducted in Asia (India, Bhutan, China, Japan, Malaysia, Philippines, New Zealand), this volume on Identity in Crossroad Civilisations: Ethnicity, Nationalism and Globalism in Asia demonstrates how identity is defined, negotiated and conceptualised in response to increasing globalisation in the region. Asian expressions of identity reflect, in many ways, their adaptability to the changing economic, political and social climates and at the same time question Samuel Huntington's popular yet controversial thesis on the clash of civilisations. This book also engages Benedict Anderson's idea of 'imagined communities' and shows how its operation impacts on both community and individual identity in an environment that is increasingly characterised by border crossings and transnationalism. Contemporary Asian realities, as examined in the essays, demonstrate the need to rethink previous notions of identity and nationalism.

    Abstract: The nine essays of this volume, spanning from the eighteenth to mid-twentieth century, highlight the workings of, and reactions to, colonial domination in Asian contexts. The scholars, which include Victoria Haskins of the University of Newscastle, use a range of social science history methods to explore new paths to colonial history. How were individuals, groups, and social categories able to order their lives in the face of the implementation of external dominance? In other words, what was the agency enabling them to interact with, adapt to, use, counteract and in the end defeat colonialism? The essays emphasize colonialism as a multifaceted historical phenomenon which has taken a number of mutually incompatible forms. The various texts thus reflect on both the "early" colonialism build on indirect and informal practices, and the later forms marked by a high degree of authoritarian control.
    Abstract: In Responding to the West geven geschiedkundigen en sociologen hun visie op de methodologie en studie van het kolonialisme in Azië als historisch fenomeen. De negen essays geven hiervan een veelzijdig beeld. Ondanks de structurele onderdrukking was kolonialisme geen kwestie van eenrichtingsverkeer. De studie ervan vereist dan ook een grondige analyse van de continu veranderende verhoudingen tussen kolonisten en gekoloniseerden. Met Responding to the West wordt alvast een voorzet gegeven.

    Abstract: Can computer scientists contribute to the solution of societal problems? Can logic help to model social interactions? Are there recipes for making groups with diverging preferences arrive at reasonable decisions? Why is common knowledge important for social interaction? Does the rational pursuit of individual interests put the public interest in danger, and if so, why? Discourses on Social Software sheds light on these and similar questions. This book offers the reader an ideal introduction to the exciting new field of social software. It shows in detail the many ways in which the seemingly abstract sciences of logic and computer science can be put to use to analyse and solve contemporary social problems. The unusual format of a series of discussions among a logician, a computer scientist, a philosopher and some researchers from other disciplines encourages the reader to develop his own point of view. The only requirements for reading this book are a nodding familiarity with logic, a curious mind, and a taste for spicy debate. This title is available in the OAPEN Library - http://www.oapen.org

    Series Statement: Solidarity and Identity
    Keywords: Sociology
    Abstract: This book examines, both theoretically and empirically, the impact of globalization and individualization on social solidarity. It focuses both on informal solidarity, such as volunteering, charitable giving, and informal care, and on formal solidarity, such as social benefits and development aid. It challenges the common belief that social solidarity is endangered by the increasing competition and capital flows between countries and by growing selfishness of modern citizens. The book scrutinizes the theoretical arguments that both informal solidarity and social solidarity organized through the welfare state are eroding. Empirically, it is the first thorough study of international comparative data on solidarity, globalization and individualization. The book concludes that, overall, solidarity is rising rather than declining. The impact of globalization and individualization is much more ambiguous than is often contended. While particular aspects of globalization and individualization might harm solidarity, other elements foster solidarity instead. This title is available in the OAPEN Library - http://www.oapen.org

    Abstract: The Landesarchiv Schleswig-Holstein opened the Landesgartenschau 2009 in Schleswig with the exhibition "Die Ordnung der Natur. Historical Gardens and Parks in Schleswig-Holstein ". This exhibition was complemented by a series of lectures which met with a great response. The lectures are published in this volume. Thematically, the volume is divided into two parts: The first four contributions deal with historical gardens and parks in Schleswig-Holstein. The second part of the volume points beyond the borders of Schleswig-Holstein. It deals with horticultural schools as vocational training for "higher daughters" in the Empire, gardens and nature in the context of democratically anti-democratic, folk ideology, the importance of gardens and parks in film and gardens in Duckburg

    Abstract: Antisemitism is an exceptional historical phenomenon. Its history goes back at least 2000 years and has manifested itself in many countries and in a wide range of societies. However, it is not a universal phenomenon. Many countries have no tradition of anti-Semitism and even in those where anti-Semitism periodically raises its head, there have been long periods where it appears to have lain dormant. But it has never altogether disappeared, and all the large-scale social changes of the past two millennia have given it extra impetus. This definitive study tackles the complex roots and manifestations of anti-Semitism over the centuries, tracing the rise of anti-Jewish stereotypes and the circumstances in which racial prejudice may have tragic concequences. This book will quickly become a classic text for students and researchers in this persistent and worldwide prejudice. This title is available in the OAPEN Library - http://www.oapen.org

    Abstract: The need to analyse labour market mechanisms in post-industrial Western societies is urgent. Despite laws and policy measures being developed at the European, national and local levels, job-seeking immigrants and ethnic minorities still suffer unequal access and ethnic discrimination. This volume endeavours to understand why. Four chapters dealing with discrimination, gender, equity policies and diversity management present a lively discussion of the current scientific debate. Besides providing empirical evidence, the authors recommend methods for conducting further research in the field and evaluate the actual effects of discrimination-combating policies. One conclusion is that systematic analysis of the labour market and its subsequent equity policies must be supported by hard data, such as statistics. With its state-of-the-art scope and unique thematic exploration, this volume transfers knowledge from social science studies to a more operational realm. From here, both scholars and practitioners can help make equal opportunities more accessible than ever. This title is available in the OAPEN Library - http://www.oapen.org

    Abstract: As liminal beings, ghosts seem particularly appropriate to define, question or challenge hybrid cultures where several, seemingly irreconcilable, identities coexist. The present volume wonders how they manifest themselves in the English-speaking world, and whether there is a specifically postcolonial kind of haunting. The twenty-two articles deal with textual, translational or historical ghosts, and take us to Canada, Australia, Africa, India or the Caribbean. Poems by Gerry Turcotte literally haunt the volume, which thus juxtaposes theory and practice in a dynamic and fruitful way.
    Abstract: De par leur liminalité, les fantômes semblent particulièrement adaptés pour définir, interroger ou remettre en question des cultures hybrides où coexistent plusieurs identités apparemment inconciliables. Ce volume explore leurs diverses manifestations dans le monde anglophone, se demandant s’il existe une hantise proprement postcoloniale. Les vingt-deux articles nous présentent des fantômes historiques ou textuels, et nous emmènent du Canada à l’Australie, de l’Afrique à l’Inde ou à la Caraïbe. Des poèmes de Gerry Turcotte hantent littéralement le volume, qui juxtapose ainsi théorie et pratique de façon dynamique et féconde.

    Abstract: The two most recent EU enlargements in May 2004 and in January 2007 have greatly increased the diversity of historic experiences and contemporary conceptions of statehood, nation-building and citizenship within the Union. How did newly formed states determine who would become their citizens? How do countries relate to their large emigrant communities, to ethnic kin minorities in neighbouring countries and to minorities in their own territory? And to which extent have their citizenship policies been affected by new immigration and integration into the European Union? Citizenship Policies in the New Europe describes the citizenship laws in each of the twelve new countries as well as in the accession states Croatia and Turkey and analyses their historical background. Citizenship Policies in the New Europe complements two volumes on Acquisition and Loss of Nationality in the fifteen old Member States published in the same series in 2006.

    Abstract: Many think they know the legends behind tulipmania and the legacy of the Dutch East India Company, but what basic knowledge of Dutch history should be passed on to future generations? This overview of historical highlights, assembled by a number of specialists in consultation with the Dutch general public, provides a thought-provoking and timely answer. The democratic process behind the volume is reminiscent of the way in which the Netherlands has excelled for centuries at collective craftsmanship, and says as much about the Netherlands as does the outcome of the opinions voiced. The Netherlands in a Nutshell offers a mine of information for visitors to the Netherlands, and should appeal to anyone interested in the history of this fascinating and multi-faceted land in the heart of Europe
