    Abstract: Im Zusammenleben mit Kindern treten in der Regel zwei Ausl�ser von Konflikten auf: Die Kinder wollen etwas und die Eltern sagen nein - oder die Eltern wollen etwas und die Kinder sagen nein. Die Autorin zeigt, wie es mit Hilfe der Gewaltfreien Kommunikation m�glich ist, dass in solchen Konflikten eine gute Beziehung zwischen Eltern und Kindern bestehen bleibt und jedes Mitglied der Familie sich zu Hause wohlf�hlen kann. Im Zusammenleben mit Kindern geht es insbesondere auch um die Frage nach Schutz und Grenzen. Dabei gilt es abzuw�gen, wo ein Kind Schutz und damit Grenzen braucht und wo es selber entscheiden darf, weil es die Folgen seines Handelns schon �berblicken kann. Auch gilt es abzuw�gen, wo Eltern dem Kind Freiraum geben, damit es selbst Erfahrungen sammeln kann. Diesen Fragen rund um das Thema der sch�tzenden Macht geht die Autorin in vielen Beispielen nach.   Biographische Informationen Dr. med. Britta Hahn, Jahrgang 1957, hat vier Kinder und ist �rztin f�r Allgemeinmedizin und Hom�opathie. Sie arbeitet und lebt in Villingen-Schwenningen. Dort hat sie den Waldkindergarten und in Trossingen das Lebenshaus im Verein f�r soziale Integration mitgegr�ndet. Sie h�lt Vortr�ge und leitet Seminare.

    Abstract: Etwa 70.000 Stunden unseres Lebens verbringen wir an unserem Arbeitsplatz. Und auch hier spielen Gef�hle und Bed�rfnisse eine zentrale Rolle - nur sind es nicht immer die, die ausgesprochen, gelebt und erf�llt werden ... Mit Humor und Einf�hlung begleitet das Autorenduo die Belegschaft einer kleinen Agentur in ihrem Arbeitsalltag. Ob Teambesprechung, Kaffeepause oder vis � vis am Schreibtisch - immer wieder gibt es Gelegenheiten, klassische Dialoge und Konflikte aufzugreifen und sie mit Hilfe der Gewaltfreien Kommunikation in lebendige, menschliche Begegnungen zu verwandeln. Dabei wird deutlich, da� es nicht nur um zufriedene Mitarbeiter geht, sondern auch um effektive Kooperation, klare und eindeutige Kommunikation, Beziehungstransparenz und Teamf�higkeit - jene Faktoren also, die ein Unternehmen erst erfolgreich machen. "Lebensbereichernde Organisation" nennt Marshall B. Rosenberg, Begr�nder der Gewaltfreien Kommunikation, sein Modell einer tragf�higen Zusammenarbeit. Mag auch der Weg vom "normalen" Arbeitsplatz bis dorthin noch weit sein - schon das Unterwegs-Sein lohnt sich!   Biographische Informationen Susann P�sztor arbeitet seit Anfang der 1990er-Jahre als freiberufliche Journalistin, Autorin und �bersetzerin. Ihr Engagement f�r Gewaltfreie Kommunikation entstand durch die Begegnung mit Marshall B. Rosenberg und die Lekt�re seines gleichnamigen Buches. Klaus-Dieter Gens war von 1999-2009 zertifizierter Trainer f�r Gewaltfreie Kommunikation. Nach Ausbildungen als Sozialp�dagoge, Supervisor und NLP-Trainer begegnete er 1996 Marshall B. Rosenberg und engagierte sich seitdem f�r Gewaltfreie Kommunikation: als Trainer in Seminaren und Ausbildungen sowie als Vereinsvorsitzender. Er ist Autor des Buches "Mit dem Herzen h�rt man besser" (Junfermann)..

Kyle combines the words of ancient authors with current scholarly research and cross-cultural perspectives, as he explores* the origins and historical development of the games* who the victims were and why they were chosen* how the Romans disposed of the thousands of resulting corpses* the complex religious and ritual aspects of institutionalised violence* the particularly savage treatment given to defiant Christians.This lively and original work provides compelling, sometimes controversial, perspectives on the bloody entertainments of ancient Rome, which continue to fascinate us to this day.

    Examining Contributions to a Corporate Microblog as a Basis for an Employee Incentive System (2012)

    Edition: 1st ed.
    DDC: 302.23/1
    Abstract: Hauptbeschreibung Social media and social networks seem to be conquering human relationships. Corporations increasingly expect business benefits from such platforms for employee-to-employee networking and internal collaboration. Firstly, however, social software platforms have to be introduced into an organization successfully, which often requires strategic and cultural changes before the new technology effectively supports everyday work tasks and corporate procedures. Companies will thus be looking for ways to promote usage of the new platforms and influence employee behavior accordingly. After a review of selected relevant scientific theory and practical examples of social software analysis, this publication analyzes over 50,000 employee contributions to an internal microblogging platform used over a period of two years in a global corporation. The subsequent analysis tries to find a metric for organizationally desired behavior. The nature of microblogging - short text messages that propagate across a network by means of very basic mechanisms, like subscription, repeats or responses - seems very well suited for such a purpose. Two metrics, describing an employees' influence across the network and the utility of their contributions as recognized by peers, were combined in a single numerical score. Such scoring could be used as a factor within an employee incentive system intended to reward extraordinarily active or useful contributors.   Biographische Informationen Jochen Adler, born 1975, began his career as a self-starter in software engineering in the early 1990s and has since worked as a business analyst, project manager and IT/management consultant across Europe and in the U.S. In 2007, he joined the IT organization of a leading global financial services provider, where he supported strategic IT projects in the retail banking franchise,...

Both professionally and academically, he specializes on managing customer relationships and the customer experience, virtual teamwork and the transition from line organization to project organization, and the opportunities and risks of introducing social software in organizations ('Social Business', 'Enterprise 2.0').

    The Liberation of Women (RLE Feminist Theory) : A Study of Patriarchy and Capitalism (2012)

    Language: English
    Pages: 1 Online-Ressource (121 pages)
    Series Statement: Routledge Library Editions: Feminist Theory
    DDC: 305.4
    Abstract: In The Liberation of Women, Roberta Hamilton explores two of the key questions that have been systematically raised by the Women's Liberation Movement: why have women occupied a subordinate position in society and how can the variation in the forms and intensity of their exploitation and oppression be explained? Within the Women's Liberation Movement there have been seen to be two different and opposed answers to these questions: a feminist answer and a Marxist one. The feminist analysis has addressed itself to a patriarchal ideology, locating the source of male domination and female subordination in the biological differences between the sexes. Marxists, on the other hand, have seen the origins of female subordination in the growing phenomenon of private property, which, in their view, has made possible and necessary the exploitation of these biological differences in the modern world.This new work attempts to examine this debate in specific analytical terms through a study of the changing role of women during a particular historical period - the seventeenth century. In the course of less than one hundred years the rise of capitalism and the acceptance of Protestantism had separately and together radically altered every aspect of a woman's life. Can both a feminist and a Marxist analysis account for these changes? Do such accounts conflict with each other, making a choice inevitable? Do they overlap to such an extent that retaining both would be redundant? Or, finally, are they complementary, can they usefully coexist? To answer these questions Roberta Hamilton tries to work out the changes that can be attributed to the emergence of capitalism (a Marxist explanation) and those that stemmed from the transformation in patriarchal ideology (a feminist explanation).The Liberation of Women will be of particular interest to students of history,...

    Keywords: Bourdieu, Pierre ; Kritische Theorie ; Kultursoziologie
    Abstract: Culture, Class, and Critical Theory develops a theory of culture that explains how ideas create and legitimate class inequalities in modern society. This theory is developed through a critique and comparison of the powerful ideas on culture offered by Pierre Bourdieu and the Frankfurt School thinkers, especially Theodor Adorno. These ideas are illuminated and criticized through the development of two empirical cases on which Gartman has published extensively, automobile design and architecture. Bourdieu and the Frankfurt School postulate opposite theories of the cultural legitimation of class inequalities. Bourdieu argues that the culture of modern society is a class culture, a ranked diversity of beliefs and tastes corresponding to different classes. The cultural beliefs and practices of the dominant class are arbitrarily defined as superior, thus legitimating its greater share of social resources. By contrast, the thinkers of the Frankfurt School conceive of modern culture as a mass culture, a leveled homogeneity in which the ideas and tastes shared by all classes disguises real class inequalities. This creates the illusion of an egalitarian democracy that prevents inequalities from being contested.Through an empirical assessment of the theories against the cases, Gartman reveals that both are correct, but for different parts of modern culture. These parts combine to provide a strong legitimation of class inequalities.

    Abstract: Visual sociology has been part of the sociological vocabulary since the 1970s, but until now there has not been a comprehensive text that introduces this area. Written by one of the founding fathers in the field, Visual Sociology explores how the world that is seen, photographed, drawn, or otherwise represented visually is different from the world that is represented through words and numbers.Doug Harper's exceptional photography and engaging, lively writing style will introduce:visual sociology as embodied observationvisual sociology as semioticsvisual sociology as an approach to data: empirical, narrative, phenomenological and reflexivevisual sociology as an aspect of photo documentaryvisual sociology and multimedia.This definitive textbook is made up of eleven chapters on the key topics in visual sociology. With teaching and learning guidance, as well as clear, accessible explanations of current thinking in the field, this book will be an invaluable resource to all those with an interest in visual sociology, research methods, cultural geography, cultural theory or visual anthropology.

Drawing on examples from around the globe, Nick Perry presents a fascinating and entertaining analysis of both familiar objects and situations as well as the more unusual and absurd. Meals served in British pubs, motor-cycle gangs in downtown Tokyo, Australian movies, are just some examples used by the author in his engaging exploration of modern sense of the 'unreal'. Hyperrealities also engages with well known theorists of contemporary culture, from Baudrillard and Umberto Eco to Jameson and Sartre.

    Abstract: To feminists and some postmodernists reason/emotion and man/woman represent two fundamental polarities, fixed deep within Western philosophy and reflected in the structures of our languages, and two sets of hierarchical power relations in patriarchal society. Raia Prokhovnik challenges the tradition of dualism and argues that rational woman need no longer be a contradiction in terms. Prokhovnik examines in turn: · the nature of dichotomy, its problems and an alternative · the reason/emotion dichotomy · dichotomies central to the man/woman dualism, such as sex/gender and the heterosexual/ist norm.

    Keywords: Lebensstil ; Soziologie
    Abstract: In the modern world our lifestyle helps to define our attitudes and values as well as show our wealth and social position. This clearly written introduction to the concept of lifestyle offers a concise guide to how the term is used in sociological accounts to refer to this modern social form. Lifestyles explores * how we should classify lifestyles * why they have become more important * what precisely constitutes a lifestyle. By reviewing a wide range of published material, introducing central themes in the sociology of modern life, examining distinctive styles in social theory and offering its own original contribution to current debates, Lifestyles provides students with a much needed overview of this often misused term.

    Series Statement: Literacies
    DDC: 302.2244
    Abstract: Literacy is a key indicator for comparing individuals and nations in contemporary society. It is central to public debates about the nature of the public sphere, economic markets, citizenship and self-governance. Literacy and the Politics of Representation aims to uncover the constructed nature of public understandings of literacy by examining detailed examples of how literacy is represented in a range of public contexts. It looks at the ways in which knowledge about literacy is created and distributed, the location and relative power of the knowledge-makers, and examines the different semiotic resources used in such representations: images and metaphors, numerical and statistical models, and textual narratives and how they are related to one another. The book focuses on the UK from 1970 to the present, but includes a range of international comparisons and examples. In addition, exemplar chapters offer a model of analysis that can be used to deconstruct the representations of social policy issues. This book is vital reading for postgraduate students in the areas of education studies, literacy, discourse analysis and multimodality.

    DDC: 305.31
    Abstract: Over the past several years, the question of men's relation to feminism has become a fiercely and sometimes bitterly debated subject. Engendering Men demonstrates the creative impact that feminist modes of inquiry have already had on a new generation of male critics. In the wake of feminism, many men have found it imperative to begin the task of retheorizing the male position in our culture. This collection of new essays brings together seventeen male critics whose work - on poetry, fiction, the Broadway stage, film and television, and broader cultural and psychoanalytic texts - is opening up new avenues in criticism, as well as in gender and feminist theory.

    Series Statement: Asia's Transformations
    DDC: 305.09520903
    Abstract: The Tokugawa Shogunate, which governed Japan for two and a half centuries until the mid-1860s, classed people into hierarchically ranked status groups (mibun). The early Tokugawa rulers legally established these status groups through the late-sixteenth and early-seventeenth centuries, adapting and clarifying existing customary divisions between warriors, peasants, artisans, and merchants. Subsequently, during the two and a half centuries of Tokugawa rule, status laws backed by coercive force worked to limit social mobility between groups and regulate relations between people of different status. This book begins by examining the origins and evolution of the outcaste groups within the Tokugawa status order. It then looks into the complex processes leading up to the abolition of outcaste status and the institution of legal equality in 1871 under the Meiji regime, and analyzes subsequent practices and theories of social discrimination against firstly 'former outcastes' and 'New Commoners' and then 'Burakumin'. Finally, it analyses the tactics and strategies of liberation adopted at local and national levels by anti-discrimination movements in Meiji Japan. Detailing the history of early-modern Japanese outcastes into the post-abolition era, Japan's Outcaste Abolition explores the dynamics of national inclusion, social exclusion, and the making of disciplined modern subjects. It will therefore be of great interest to students and scholars of Japanese history, culture and society, social history and Asian studies.

    Power and Legitimacy - Challenges from Russia (2012)

    Language: English
    Pages: 1 Online-Ressource (257 pages)
    Series Statement: Routledge Contemporary Russia and Eastern Europe Series
    DDC: 303.30947
    Abstract: This book sheds new light on the continuing debate within political thought as to what constitutes power, and what distinguishes legitimate from illegitimate power. It does so by considering the experience of Russia, a polity where experiences of the legitimacy of power and the collapse of power offer a contrast to Western experiences on which most political theory, formulated in the West, is based. The book considers power in a range of contexts - philosophy and discourse; the rule of law and its importance for economic development; the use of culture and religion as means to legitimate power; and liberalism and the reasons for its weakness in Russia. The book concludes by arguing that the Russian experience provides a useful lens through which ideas of power and legitimacy can be re-evaluated and re-interpreted, and through which the idea of "the West" as the ideal model can be questioned.

    Series Statement: Routledge Revivals
    DDC: 301
    Abstract: First published in 1975, this collection of essays embodies a conception of sociological thought as a critical analysis of social theories and doctrines, of social institutions and political regimes, of recent social movements. They deal, in particular, with some conservative versions of sociology and with attempts to develop more radical theories; they extend the author's previous writings on classes, elites and politics; and they analyse some of the problems of socialism in the late twentieth century. There is a close unity of theme througout the book in its critical attempt to formulate new intellectual bases for future radical and egalitarian politics. It is written with that quiet wisdom and impressive command of sources which readers have come to associate with Professor Bottomore's work.

    Abstract: A CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title 2013! Winner, APA Division 52 Ursula Gielen Global Psychology Book Award, 2014! This new volume reviews the latest research on fathering from every continent, from cultures representing over 50% of the world's population. International experts on 14 societies/regions discuss cultural and historical influences, variations between and within cultures, and socio economic conditions and policies that impact fathering. Contributors from several disciplines provide thought-provoking reviews of the empirical data to help us gain an understanding of fathering worldwide. Over 1,000 studies on fathering published in languages other than English are made accessible to readers around the world. The cultures were selected based on availability of substantial research on fathering; representation of worldwide geography; a balance between large, middle, and small populations; and significance for a global understanding of fathering.   Each chapter features personal case stories, photos, and maps to help readers create an engaging picture for each culture. Empirical evidence is blended with the authors' expert opinions providing a comprehensive view of what it is like to be a father in each culture. The book opens by explaining theoretical and methodological underpinnings of research on fathers. The main chapters are then organized by world regions-Asia and the Middle East, Africa, North and South America, Europe, and Australia. The conclusions chapter integrates and compares all the chapters, and makes suggestions for future research.   Every chapter follows the same structure, making it easy for readers to compare fathers between cultures, or to compare chapters as a textbook:  Opening case story of one father's life  Cultural/historical background and influences on fathers  Comprehensive review of research on fathering in...
    Abstract: that culture  Sub-cultural variations in fathering  Social/economic conditions and policies that impact fathering: divorce, never-married fathers, immigration and migration, and economic disparities   Government policies and laws relevant to fathering  Comparisons with fathers in other societies     Summary highlighting the most pertinent information presented in the chapter   This thought-provoking anthology is also an ideal text for graduate or advanced undergraduate courses on child development, fathering, or family processes taught in family studies, psychology, sociology, anthropology, education, and gender/women's studies, and ethnic studies departments. Practitioners, educators, policymakers, and researchers interested in the study of father involvement will also appreciate this book.

    Abstract: From its very inception the Soviet state valued the merits and benefits of physical culture, which included not only sport but also health, hygiene, education, labour and defence. Physical culture propaganda was directed at the Soviet population, and even more particularly at young people, women and peasants, with the aim of transforming them into ideal citizens. By using physical culture and sport to assess social, cultural and political developments within the Soviet Union, this book provides a new addition to the historiography of the 1920s and 1930s as well as to general sports history studies.

    Series Statement: Chinese Worlds
    DDC: 303.48251
    Abstract: Republican China attracted an uncommon diversity of foreign interests, groups, and individuals, which included missionaries, adventurers, diplomats, academics, humanitarians and refugees, as well as hedonists and tourists. By exploring the diverse nature of foreign activities in Republican China, this book complicates the dominant narratives of the imperialistic foreigner and Chinese victim, and moves beyond the depiction of foreigners as privileged and the Chinese as simply weak. The spaces and relationships examined in the essays in this volume reveal a complex series of interactions between foreigners and the people of China which go far beyond one-way transmission or exploitation. Indeed, this book examines how diverse and sometimes seemingly peripheral foreign individuals and communities influenced literature, education, trade, sexual morality, warfare, and architecture in China and in the process were themselves profoundly changed, in ways that are as remarkable as those experienced by the Chinese they had come to observe, meet, exploit, conquer, assist, or change. Bringing together the work of a diverse group of scholars on Republican China, this edited volume adopts a uniquely multi-disciplinary approach to the study of foreigners in China, and utilises the perspectives of historiography, literary studies, cultural studies, sociology, anthropology, and political science. As such, this interesting and innovative book will be of great interest to students and scholars from diverse fields including Chinese and global history, politics and international relations, Chinese studies, literary studies and gender studies.

    Keywords: Geschichte 1990-2009 ; Nationalismus ; Minderheitenfrage ; Nepal
    Abstract: Identity movements, based on ethnicity, caste, language, religion and regional identity, have become increasingly significant in Nepal, reshaping debates on the definition of the nation, nationalism and the structure of the state. This book analyzes the rapid rise in ethnic and nationalist mobilization and conflict since 1990, the dynamics and trajectories of these movements, and their consequences for Nepal. From an interdisciplinary perspective, the book looks at the roots of mobilization and conflicts, the reasons for the increase in mobilization and violent activities, and the political and social effects of the movements. It provides a historical context for these movements and investigates how identities intersect with forms of political and economic inequality. Nepal's various identity groups - Dalits, indigenous nationalities, Madhesis and Muslims - have mobilized to different extents. By examining these diverse movements within the same time period and within a unitary state, the book illuminates which factors are more salient for the mobilization of identity groups. Bringing together empirical contributions on key issues in identity production in a comparative perspective, the book presents an interesting contribution to South Asian studies as well as studies of nationalism and identity more broadly.

    Abstract: How did we get from Hollywood to YouTube? What makes Wikipedia so different from a traditional encyclopedia? Has blogging dismantled journalism as we know it? Our media landscape has undergone a seismic shift as digital technology has fostered the rise of "participatory culture," in which knowledge is originated, created, distributed, and evaluated in radically new ways. The Participatory Cultures Handbook is an indispensable, interdisciplinary guide to this rapidly changing terrain. With short, accessible essays from leading geographers, political scientists, communication theorists, game designers, activists, policy makers, physicists, and poets, this volume will introduce students to the concept of participatory culture, explain how researchers approach participatory culture studies, and provide original examples of participatory culture in action. Topics include crowdsourcing, crisis mapping, grid computing, digital activism in authoritarian countries, collaborative poetry, collective intelligence, participatory budgeting, and the relationship between video games and civic engagement. Contributors include: Daren Brabham, Helen Burgess, Clay Calvert, Mia Consalvo, Kelly Czarnecki, David M. Faris, Dieter Fuchs, Owen Gallagher, Clive Goodinson, Alexander Halvais, Cynthia Hawkins, John Heaven, The Jannissary Collective, Henry Jenkins, Barry Joseph, Christopher Kelty, Pierre Lévy, Sophia B.

    Series Statement: Routledge Contemporary Southeast Asia Series

    Abstract: This book brings together extensive recent innovative research on the study of men and masculinities in Southeast Asia. Drawing on rich ethnographic fieldwork from Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, the Philippines, Singapore, Indonesia and Timor-Leste, the book examines both dominant and marginal constructions of heterosexual masculinity and the ways in which these are performed in different localized contexts in insular and mainland Southeast Asia. Through the presentation of detailed ethnographic studies on topics ranging from the professional practices of Filipino merchant seafarers to the sex lives of Thai migrant workers to the stand-over tactics of Indonesian gangsters, the authors in this collection challenge the idea of emerging globalizing forms of masculinities. Where existing studies of gender in Asia tend to concentrate on women, East Asia and gay men, this book fills a significant gap and demonstrates, overall, how gender, ethnicity, class, sexuality and nationality shape contemporary understandings of what it means to be a 'man' in contemporary Southeast Asia.

    Keywords: Cyber-Mobbing ; Prävention
    Abstract: In 2010, the International Cyberbullying Think Tank was held in order to discuss questions of definition, measurement, and methodologies related to cyberbullying research. The attendees' goal was to develop a set of guidelines that current and future researchers could use to improve the quality of their research and advance our understanding of cyberbullying and related issues. This book is the product of their meetings, and is the first volume to provide researchers with a clear set of principles to inform their work on cyberbullying. The contributing authors, all participants in the Think Tank, review the existing research and theoretical frameworks of cyberbullying before exploring topics such as questions of methodology, sampling issues, methods employed so far, psychometric issues that must be considered, ethical considerations, and implications for prevention and intervention efforts. Researchers as well as practitioners seeking information to inform their prevention and intervention programs will find this to be a timely and essential resource.

    Abstract: This book analyzes the World Social Forum (WSF) in a context of crisis and transition in the history of Western capitalist modernity. Based on ten years of fieldwork on three continents, this book treats social movements as knowledge producers. It pays attention to what movements are doing and saying on the terrain of the WSF over time and from place to place, and to how they theorize its significance. Framed by the Latin American modernity-coloniality perspective, the book critically engages with discourses of global civil society, autonomism, and transnational feminism toward a reading of the WSF through the lens of 'colonial difference'. Each chapter outlines a set of contestations and contributions with relevance beyond debates about the WSF. It will be of strong interest to students and scholars of social movement studies; international politics; post-colonial studies; gender studies; sociology; political theory and social work.

    Abstract: Aufgrund der anhaltenden Aktualität des Phänomens Rechtsextremismus hat es in den vergangenen Jahren eine Vielzahl an wissenschaftlichen Veröffentlichungen gegeben. Diese hat jedoch den negativen Beigeschmack, dass sich durch die Beschäftigung verschiedener wissenschaftlicher Disziplinen, die Rechtsextremismus häufig aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven und unter unterschiedlichen Fragestellungen betrachten, diverse, sich teilweise gegenseitig widersprechende Interpretationsmuster für das Phänomen Rechtsextremismus ergeben. Diese Problematik wird besonders deutlich vor dem Hintergrund, dass in Deutschland bisher keine einheitliche wissenschaftliche Definition des Rechtsextremismusbegriffes existiert. Im vorliegenden Buch werden zunächst Unterschiede zwischen der amtlichen und der wissenschaftlichen Bestimmung des Rechtsextremismusbegriffes aufgezeigt. Zudem werden diverse wissenschaftliche Sichtweisen des Rechtsextremismusbegriffes dargestellt. Werden rechtsextrem motivierte Straftaten von den Medien aufgegriffen, so wird den Adressaten noch heute häufig das Bild von gewaltbereiten, meist jugendlichen Skinheads präsentiert. Die hieraus resultierende Annahme, dass jugendliche Rechtsextremisten ausschließlich gewaltbereite Skinheads seien, ist jedoch nicht richtig. Während besonders in den 1990er Jahren Jugendliche mit rechtsextremer Orientierung noch Skinheads waren, bekleidet mit 'Bomberjacke' und 'Kampfstiefeln' mit weißen Schnürsenkeln, hat sich das Bild von Jugendlichen mit rechtsextremen Orientierungen erheblich geändert. Mittlerweile kann von einer vielfältigen rechtsextremen Szenelandschaft für Jugendliche gesprochen werden. Daher sollen unterschiedliche Elemente der Lebenswelt rechtsextremer Jugendlicher in diesem Buch dargestellt werden. Der Blick wird hier auf die wesentlichen, der rechtsextremen Lebenswelt innewohnenden Elemente Symbolik,...
    Abstract: Kleidung, Codes und Musik gerichtet und die Rolle des Internet bezüglich der Verbreitung dieser Elemente diskutiert. Neben strafrechtlich relevanten, eindeutig dem Rechtsextremismus zuzuordnenden und daher leicht identifizierbaren Merkmalen werden auch solche Elemente dargestellt, die ohne Hintergrundwissen nur schwer als dem Rechtsextremismus zugehörig identifiziert werden können. Anschließend wird der Frage nachgegangen, welche Erklärungsfaktoren von der Wissenschaft herangezogen werden, um die Herausbildung rechtsextremer Einstellungen zu erklären. Hierzu befasst sich der Autor mit drei unterschiedlichen Ansätzen zur Erklärung der Herausbildung rechtsextremer Orientierungen. Schließlich wird auf Handlungsmöglichkeiten für die Arbeit gegen Rechtsextremismus auf Schulebene eingegangen und der Frage nachgegangen, ob schulinterne Handlungsstrategien möglichst in eine gesamtgesellschaftliche Strategie gegen Rechtsextremismus eingebettet werden sollten. Zudem soll die Relevanz einer solchen gesamtgesellschaftlichen Strategie geklärt werden.

    Keywords: Muslim ; Jugend ; Lebensform ; Islamische Erziehung ; Religiöse Identität ; Aufsatzsammlung
    Abstract: Many Muslim societies, regardless of location, are displaying a 'youth bulge', where more than half their populations are under the age of 25. An increasingly globalized western culture is rapidly eroding 'traditional' ideas about society, from the family to the state. At the same time, there is a view that rampant materialism is creating a culture of spiritual emptiness in which demoralization and pessimism easily find root. For young Muslims these challenges may be compounded by a growing sense of alienation as they face competing ideologies and divergent lifestyles.   Muslim youth are often idealized as the 'future of Islam' or stigmatized as rebelling against their parental values and suffering 'identity crises'. These experiences can produce both positive and negative reactions, from intellectual engagement and increasing spiritual maturity to emotional rejectionism, narrow identity politics and violent extremism. This book addresses many of the central issues currently facing young Muslims in both localized and globalized contexts through engaging with the work of academics, youth work practitioners and those working in non-governmental organizations and civic institutions.

    Abstract: This book focuses on the rhetoric of food and the power dimensions that intersect this most fundamental but increasingly popular area of ideology and practice, including politics, culture, lifestyle, identity, advertising, environment, and economy. The essays visit a rich variety of dominant discourses and material practices through a range of media, channels, and settings including the White House, social movement rhetoric, televisual programming, urban gardens, farmers markets, domestic and international agriculture institutions, and popular culture. Rhetoricians address the cultural, political, and ecological motives and consequences of humans' strategic symbolizing and attendant choice-making, visiting discourses and practices that have impact on our species in their producing, distributing, regulating, marketing, packaging, consuming, and talking about food. The essays in this book are representative of dominant and marginal discourses as well as perennial issues surrounding the rhetoric of food and include macro-, meso-, and micro-level analyses and case studies, from international neoliberal trade policies to media and social movement discourse to small group and interactional dynamics. This volume provides an excellent range and critical illumination of rhetoric's role as both instrumental and constitutive force in food representations, and its symbolic and material effects.

    Abstract: This book explores the meaning of local ownership in peacebuilding and examines the ways in which it has been, and could be, operationalized in post-conflict environments. In the context of post-conflict peacebuilding, the idea of local ownership is based upon the premise that no peace process is sustainable in the absence of a meaningful degree of local involvement. Despite growing recognition of the importance of local ownership, however, relatively little attention has been paid to specifying what precisely the concept means or how it might be implemented. This volume contributes to the ongoing debate on the future of liberal peacebuilding through a critical investigation of the notion of local ownership, and challenges conventional assumptions about who the relevant locals are and what they are expected to own. Drawing on case studies from Bosnia, Afghanistan and Haiti, the text argues that local ownership can only be fostered through a long-term consensus-building process, which involves all levels of the conflict-affected society. This book will be of great interest to students of peacebuilding, peace and conflict studies, development studies, security studies and IR.

    Google and the Culture of Search (2012)

    Language: English
    Pages: 1 Online-Ressource (257 pages)
    DDC: 303.4834
    Abstract: What did you do before Google? The rise of Google as the dominant Internet search provider reflects a generationally-inflected notion that everything that matters is now on the Web, and should, in the moral sense of the verb, be accessible through search. In this theoretically nuanced study of search technology's broader implications for knowledge production and social relations, the authors shed light on a culture of search in which our increasing reliance on search engines influences not only the way we navigate, classify, and evaluate Web content, but also how we think about ourselves and the world around us, online and off. Ken Hillis, Michael Petit, and Kylie Jarrett seek to understand the ascendancy of search and its naturalization by historicizing and contextualizing Google's dominance of the search industry, and suggest that the contemporary culture of search is inextricably bound up with a metaphysical longing to manage, order, and categorize all knowledge. Calling upon this nexus between political economy and metaphysics, Google and the Culture of Search explores what is at stake for an increasingly networked culture in which search technology is a site of knowledge and power.

    Abstract: The members of the current generation of "digital guinea pigs" are true social pioneers as they embrace digital technology to create a new realm of mating, dating, and intimacy in America. Ironically, "digital dating" frequently results in an outcome that is exactly opposite to its participants' intended purposes. The Illusion of Intimacy: Problems in the World of Online Dating is more than a thorough investigation of the realities of modern relationships, many of which begin online-one in five, according to Match.com; the book introduces the reader to some of the natives and industry "users" who make up its clientele. Author John C. Bridges shows how they have adapted to technology to find new interactions, meet new partners, and share new experiences. The research focuses on the dating sites ranked in the top five by actual members of these sites who interviewed with the author to share their personal stories and experiences, all documented by saved emails and text messages.

    Abstract: This collection of extended papers examines the ways in which relations between national, ethnic, religious and gender groups are underpinned by each group's perceptions of their distinctive identities and of the nature of the boundaries which divide them. Questions of frontier and identity are theorised with reference to the Maori, Australian aborigines and Celtic groups. The theoretical arguments and ethnographic perspectives of this book place it at the cutting edge of contemporary anthropological scholarship on identity, with respect to the study of ethnicity, nationalism, localism, gender and indigenous peoples. It will be of value to scholars and students of social and cultural anthropology, human geography and social psychology.

    Abstract: In this text, Gill Allwood explores theories of masculinity emerging from French feminist theories of gender and from French feminist practice concerning violence towards women, highlighting both the commonalities and the specificities of the French case. She discusses the particular concern of French theorists with seduction, their rejection of the term "gender" and the centrality of the difference debate.; In the first part of the book, Allwood separately examines feminist theories of gender and sexual difference and the problem of male violence. She goes on to consider the developments which are taking place on the borderline between the two, examining the way in which these developments have contributed to an understanding of masculinity. Readdressing problems and debates that will be familiar to English-speaking readers, the text exposes cultural differences and similarities in the ways in which these problems are approached and it provides a detailed account of the changes in both feminist action and theory in France in recent years.; This analysis of feminism in France should be of interest to student and scholars in French studies, European studies, gender studies and cultural studies.

    Edition: 1st ed.
    Series Statement: Nissan Institute/Routledge Japanese Studies
    DDC: 398/.356/0952
    Abstract: An almost obsessional use of numbers characterizes Japanese popular culture. A wide variety of numerical formulae and strategies provide the means for explaining events and solving problems occurring in everyday life. These include such matters as the choice of the name for a child, ranking in almost any game or sport, the diagnosis and cure of illness or the decision to accept a new job. This text provides a general study of the field of Japanese popular numeracy. It introduces the reader to a world of numbers in which fortune-telling, the abacus and games involving numbers, as well as curious numerical names (of both people and places), illustrate the importance of systems of counting, calculation and forecasting. The study explores the cultural roots of attitudes towards numbers and makes suggestions about the contemporary implications of a culture in which mechanical numeracy (and number obsession) is general but the highest levels of academic mathematics still fall short of world standards.

    Series Statement: International Library of Sociology
    DDC: 301/.01
    Abstract: In this ground-breaking contribution to social theory, John Urry argues that the traditional basis of sociology - the study of society - is outmoded in an increasingly borderless world. If sociology is to make a pertinent contribution to the post societal era it must forget the social rigidities of the pre-global order and, instead, switch its focus to the study of both physical and virtual movement. In considering this sociology of mobilities, the book concerns itself with the travels of people, ideas, images, messages, waste products and money across international borders, and the implications these mobilities have to our experiences of time, space, dwelling and citizenship. Sociology Beyond Society extends recent debate about globalisation both by providing an analysis of how mobilities reconstitute social life in uneven and complex ways, and by arguing for the significance of objects, senses, and time and space in the theorising of contemporary life. This book will be essential reading for undergraduates and graduates studying sociology and cultural geography.

    Abstract: This book examines the relationship between economics, politics and religion through the case of Olivorio Mateo and the religious movement he inspired from 1908 in the Dominican Republic. The authors explore how and why the new religion was formed, and why it was so successful. Comparing this case with other peasant movements, they show ways in which folk religion serves as a response to particular problems which arise in peasant societies during times of stress.

Schiffman examines how language policy is primarily a social construct based on belief systems, attitudes and myths. Linguistic Culture and Language Policy exposes language policy as culture-specific, helping us to understand why language policies evolve the way they do; why they work, or not; and how people's lives are affected by them. These issues will be of specific interest to linguists specialising in multilingual/multicultural societies, bilingual educationalists, curriculum planners and teachers.

    Abstract: Erotics and Politics provides an interface between the study of sexuality (particularly gay male studies) and gender (primarily feminism). In doing so it covers a wide range of issues of concern to gay and feminist movements over the past twenty five years including gay liberational sexuality, sado-masochism, pornography, promiscuity, personal relationships, AIDS and postmodernity. The central focus of attention throughout is the nature, development and consequence of gay male sexuality and masculinity. This book is unique in its coverage of a wide range of issues and connecting subjects which are typically examined separately.

    Abstract: This book presents an inter-disciplinary investigation into contemporary migration and social inclusion through an examination of migrant and refugee experience.In this edited volume, contributors discuss new understandings of individual and community security in a world where legal borders and definitions of citizenship no longer adequately capture the reality of migration. Distinguished contributors approach questions of social belonging and inclusion from diverse perspectives. Drawing its primary examples from Australia, Migration and Insecurity is framed by the wider experience of the Global North, with examples from Europe, the United Kingdom and United States woven throughout the collection. An inter-disciplinary approach to migration studies, this book integrates local, national and transnational spaces in its discussion of new constructs of inclusion and security. It considers questions of historical memory, ontological security, transnational communities, the role of civic institutions and social relationships in local spaces to guide the reader towards the wider conceptual questions of migration studies using expertise from the fields of sociology, gender, historical and political studiesMigration and Insecurity will be of interest to students and scholars of transnationalism, migration politics and international relations.

    Keywords: Antiglobalisierungsbewegung ; Politisches Handeln ; Widerstand ; World Wide Web 2.0 ; Neue Medien
    Abstract: This volume provides a critical and in-depth investigation of the relationship between alter-globalist thinking and practices and their popular discourses. It examines the ways in which several alter-globalist activist groups (like Indymedia, no-borders campaigns, and forms of climate change activism), as well as left-wing intellectuals and academics (like Michael Hardt, Al Gore, Antonio Negri, Hakim Bey, and Geert Lovink), mobilize problematic discourses, tools, and divisions in an attempt to overcome gendered, raced, and classed oppressions worldwide. The book draws out how these mobilizations and theorizations, despite (or possibly because of) their liberatory claims, are actually implicated in the intensification of global hierarchies by repeatedly invoking narratives of transcendence, connection, progress, and in particular of speed. Hoofd argues that the humanist ideals that underlie all these practices paradoxically trigger increasing disenfranchisements worldwide.

    Keywords: Sozialgeografie ; Risikoanalyse ; Raumverhalten ; Risikomanagement ; Botswana ; Demokratische Republik Kongo ; Aufsatzsammlung
    Abstract: Through its exploration of the spatial dimension of risk, this book offers a brand new approach to theorizing risk, and significant improvements in how to manage, tolerate and take risks. A broad range of risks are examined, including natural hazards, climate change, political violence, and state failure. Case studies range from the Congo to Central Asia, from tsunami in Japan and civil war affected areas in Sri Lanka to avalanche hazards in Austria. In each of these cases, the authors examine the importance and role of space in the causes and differentiation of risk, in how we can conceptualize risk from a spatial perspective and in the relevance of space and locality for risk governance. This new approach - endorsed by Ragnar Löfstedt and Ortwin Renn, two of the world's leading and most prolific risk analysts - is essential reading for those charged with studying, anticipating and managing risks.

    Abstract: This collection offers the fruits of a stimulating workshop that sought to bridge the fraught relationship which sometimes continues between anthropologists and indigenous/native/aboriginal scholars, despite areas of overlapping interest. Participants from around the world share their views and opinions on subjects ranging from ideas for reconciliation, the question of what might constitute a universal "science," indigenous heritage, postcolonial museology, the boundaries of the term "indigeneity," different senses as ways of knowing, and the very issue of writing as a method of dissemination that divides and excludes readers from different backgrounds. This book represents a landmark step in the process of replacing bridges with more equal patterns of intercultural cooperation and communication.

    Image Studies : Theory and Practice (2012)

    ISBN: 9781136483202
    Language: English
    Pages: 1 Online-Ressource (298 pages)
    DDC: 701
    Abstract: Image Studies offers an engaging introduction to visual and image studies.In order to better understand images and visual culture the book seeks to bridge between theory and practice; asking the reader to think critically about images and image practices, but also simultaneously to make images and engage with image-makers and image-making processes. Looking across a range of domains and disciplines, we find the image is never a single, static thing. Rather, the image can be a concept, an object, a picture, or medium - and all these things combined. At the heart of this book is the idea of an 'ecology of images', through which we can examine the full 'life' of an image - to understand how an image resonates within a complex set of contexts, processes and uses. Part 1 covers theoretical perspectives on the image, supplemented with practical entries on making, researching and writing with images.Part 2 explores specific image practices and cultures, with chapters on drawing and painting; photography; visual culture; scientific imaging; and informational images.A wide range of illustrations complement the text throughout and each chapter includes creative tasks, keywords (linked to an online resource), summaries and suggested further reading. In addition, each of the main chapters include selected readings by notable authors across a range of subject areas, including: Art History, Business, Cognitive Science, Communication Studies, Infographics, Neuroscience, Photography, Physics, Science Studies, Social Semiotics, Statistics, and Visual Culture.

    Abstract: Modern historiography embraces the notion that time is irreversible, implying that the past should be imagined as something 'absent' or 'distant.' Victims of historical injustice, however, in contrast, often claim that the past got 'stuck' in the present and that it retains a haunting presence. History, Memory, and State-Sponsored Violence is centered around the provocative thesis that the way one deals with historical injustice and the ethics of history is strongly dependent on the way one conceives of historical time; that the concept of time traditionally used by historians is structurally more compatible with the perpetrators' than the victims' point of view. Demonstrating that the claim of victims about the continuing presence of the past should be taken seriously, instead of being treated as merely metaphorical, Berber Bevernage argues that a genuine understanding of the 'irrevocable' past demands a radical break with modern historical discourse and the concept of time. By embedding a profound philosophical reflection on the themes of historical time and historical discourse in a concrete series of case studies, this project transcends the traditional divide between 'empirical' historiography on the one hand and the so called 'theoretical' approaches to history on the other. It also breaks with the conventional 'analytical' philosophy of history that has been dominant during the last decades, raising a series of long-neglected 'big questions' about the historical condition - questions about historical time, the unity of history, and the ontological status of present and past -programmatically pleading for a new historical ethics.

    Abstract: This book explores the limits of NGO influence and the conditions that constrain NGOs when they participate in international negotiationsThrough an empirically rich study of the UN World Summits on the Information Society (WSIS) this book conceptualizes structural power mechanisms that shape global ICT governance and analyses the impact of NGOs on communication rights, intellectual property rights, financing, and Internet governance. The institutional framework of UN negotiations makes it easy for states to exclude NGOs from crucial meetings and to neglect their most relevant demands, in part explaining why NGOs had only limited influence on the policy outcomes of the WSIS in Geneva 2003 and Tunis 2005, although high numbers of NGOs participated. Using a critical perspective, Dany demonstrates that despite the far-reaching participation rights for civil society actors, structural power mechanisms continued to limit the influence of participating NGOs and this contradicts the widely held assumption that extensive NGO participation necessarily increases NGO influence on the policy outcomes.This book will be of interest to students and scholars of international relations, global governance, the United Nations, and global information and communication politics..

    Abstract: In Victorian England, the perception of girlhood arose not in isolation, but as one manifestation of the prevailing conception of femininity. Examining the assumptions that underlay the education and upbringing of middle-class girls, this book is also a study of the learning of gender roles in theory and reality. It was originally published in 1982.The first two sections examine the image of women in the Victorian family, and the advice offered in printed sources on the rearing of daughters during the Victorian period. To illustrate the effect and evolution of feminine ideals over the Victorian period, the book's final section presents the actual experiences of several middle-class Victorian women who represent three generations and range, socioeconomically, from lower-middle class through upper-middle class.

    Abstract: Girls learn about "femininity" from childhood onwards, first through their relationships in the family, and later from their teachers and peers. Using sources which vary from diaries to Inspector's reports, this book studies the socialization of middle- and working-class girls in late Victorian and early-Edwardian England. It traces the ways in which schooling at all social levels at this time tended to reinforce lessons in the sexual division of labour and patterns of authority between men and women, which girls had already learned at home. Considering the social anxieties that helped to shape the curriculum offered to working-class girls through the period 1870-1920, the book goes on to focus on the emergence of a social psychology of adolescent girlhood in the early-twentieth century and finally, examines the relationship between feminism and girls' education.

    Abstract: Although ambivalence characterizes the stance of scholars toward the desirability of close opinion-policy linkages in general, it is especially evident with regard to immigration. The controversy and disagreement about whether public opinion should drive immigration policy are among the factors making immigration one of the most difficult political debates across the West. Leading international experts and aspiring researchers from the fields of political science and sociology use a range of case studies from North America, Europe and Australia to guide the reader through the complexities of this debate offering an unprecedented comparative examination of public opinion and immigration.part one discusses the socio-economic and contextual determinants of immigration attitudes across multiple nationspart two explores how the economy can affect public opinionpart three presents different perspectives on the issue of causality - do attitudes about immigration drive politics, or do politics drive attitudes?part four investigates how several types of framing are critical to understanding public opinion and how a wide range of political factors can mould public opinion, and often in ways that work against immigration and immigrantspart five examines the views of the largest immigrant group in the U.S. - Latinos - as well as how opinions are shaped by contact with and opinions about immigrants in the U.S. and Canada.An essential read to all who wish to understand the nature of immigration research from a theoretical as well as practical point of view.

    Abstract: Dance is more than an aesthetic of life - dance embodies life. This is evident from the social history of jive, the marketing of trans-national ballet, ritual healing dances in Italy or folk dances performed for tourists in Mexico, Panama and Canada. Dance often captures those essential dimensions of social life that cannot be easily put into words. What are the flows and movements of dance carried by migrants and tourists? How is dance used to shape nationalist ideology? What are the connections between dance and ethnicity, gender, health, globalization and nationalism, capitalism and post-colonialism? Through innovative and wide-ranging case studies, the contributors explore the central role dance plays in culture as leisure commodity, cultural heritage, cultural aesthetic or cathartic social movement.

    DDC: 305.23/1
    Abstract: As early year education and very early child care increase, parents and professionals face many difficult questions. What are the effects of early education on children? Are parents fulfilling their roles? What should teachers' roles be? Seldom asked are more basic questions: What are the fundamental needs of young children? Or parents? Or professionals? How can these differing sets of needs be met? Margaret Henry proposes three dimensions of caregiving behaviour through which parents and professionals not only help young children to develop, but can also help one another's development. Evidence of positive change comes both from her own research in family day care and from the work of her students, practicing teachers and child care personnel. Their examples involve often hard-to-reach parents - those who are tired, employed, alienated, bossy and culturally and ethnically diverse. There are practical suggestions here for professionals and parents interested in enhancing their relationships with one another and the outcomes for young children.

    Abstract: Before about 1840, there was little prestige attached to the writing of novels, and most English novelists were women. By the turn of the twentieth century, "men of letters" acclaimed novels as a form of great literature, and most critically successful novelists were men. In the book, sociologist Gaye Tuchman examines how men succeeded in redefining a form of culture and in invading a white-collar occupation previously practiced mostly by women. Tuchman documents how men gradually supplanted women as novelists once novel-writing was perceived as potentially profitable, in part because of changes in the system of publishing and rewarding authors. Drawing on unusual data ranging from the archives of Macmillan and company (London) to an analysis of the lives and accomplishments of authors listed in the Dictionary of National Biography, she shows that rising literacy and the centralization of the publishing industry in London after 1840 increased literary opportunities and fostered men's success as novelists. Men redefined the nature of a good novel and applied a double standard in critically evaluating literary works by men and by women. They also received better contracts than women for novels of equivalent quality and sales. They were able to accomplish this, says Tuchman, because they were to a large extent the culture brokers - the publishers, publishers' readers, and reviewers of an elite art form. Both a sociological study of occupational gender transformation and a historical study of writing and publishing, this book will be a rich resource for students of the sociology of culture, literary criticism, and women's studies.

    Abstract: This social and cultural history of girls in the German youth movements in the pre-Nazi era brings fascinating new light to bear on the history of the German youth movements. It contributes to our wider understanding of girlhood in the period, and investigates how mentalities, collective identities and German nationalism developed in the three decades before the Nazi period.

    Contemporary Feminist Pragmatism (2012)

    Abstract: The notion of "feminist pragmatism" or "pragmatist feminism" has been around since Charlene Haddock Seigfried introduced it two decades ago. However, the bulk of the work in this field has been directed toward recovering the feminist strain of classical American philosophy, largely through renewed interest in the work of Jane Addams. This exploration of the origins of feminism and pragmatism has been fruitful in building a foundation for theoretical considerations. The editors of this volume believe the next logical step is the contemporary application to both theory and experience. Contemporary Feminist Pragmatism is the first book to address the modern significance of the nexus of feminism and pragmatism. The issues explored here include the relationship between community and identity, particularly around the impact of gender and race; reframing political practice regarding feminist pragmatist commitments including education, sustainability movements, and local efforts like community gardens; and the association between ethics and inquiry including explorations of Buddhism, hospitality, and animal-human relationships.

    Abstract: Following the definition of 'interior monologue' (IM) given by Edouard Dujardin (1931), we analysed a corpus of novels (by Schnitzler, Joyce, Dostoevsky, Pirandello) in which this literary technique is used. We discovered that, although one of the conventional meanings of monologue is 'discourse with one voice', IMs reveal intrinsic dialogism among different voices. These voices come both from different 'parts' of the speaker and from others (imagined, internalized people). In this sense, IMs are polyphonic. We focus on the linguistic and communicative forms of IMs, on how people speak to themselves. The method used consists, mainly, of a qualitative, structural linguistic analysis. Passages taken from our corpus explain how polyphony works in IMs.

    Abstract: How can application of a positive lens to understanding social change and organizations enrich and elaborate theory and practice? This is the core question that inspired this book. It is a question that brought together a diverse and talented group of researchers interested in change and organizations in different problem domains (sustainability, healthcare, and poverty alleviation). The contributors to this book bring different theoretical lenses to the question of social change and organizations. Some are anchored in more macro accounts of how and why social change processes occur, while others approach the question from a more psychological or social psychological perspective. Many of the chapters in the book travel across levels of analyses, making their accounts of social change good examples of multi-level theorizing. Some scholars are practiced and immersed in thinking about organizational phenomena through a positive lens; for others it was a total adventure in trying on a new set of glasses. However, connecting all contributing authors was an excitement and willingness to explore new insights and new angles on how to explain and cultivate social change within or across organizations. This edited volume will be of interest to an international community who seek to understand how organizations and people can generate positive outcomes for society. Students and researchers in organizational behavior, management, positive psychology, leadership and corporate responsibility will find this book of interest.

    Series Statement: Routledge Studies in Peace and Conflict Resolution
    DDC: 303.6609496
    Abstract: This book presents new theoretical and conceptual perspectives on the problematique of building just and durable peace. Linking peace and justice has sparked lively debates about the dilemmas and trade-offs in several contemporary peace processes. Despite the fact that justice and peace are commonly referred to there is surprisingly little research and few conceptualizations of the interplay between the two. This edited volume is the result of three years of collaborative research and draws upon insights from such disciplines as peace and conflict, international law, political science and international relations. It contains policy-relevant knowledge about effective peacebuilding strategies, as well as an in-depth analysis of the contemporary peace processes in the Middle East and the Western Balkans. Using a variety of theoretical perspectives and empirical approaches, the work makes an original contribution to the growing literature on peacebuilding. This book will be of much interest to students of peacebuilding, peace and conflict studies, Middle Eastern Politics, European Politics and IR/Security Studies.

    Legacies of the Asia-Pacific War : The Yakeato Generation (2012)

    Series Statement: Routledge Contemporary Japan Series
    DDC: 306.095209045
    Abstract: When we look in detail at the various peripheral groups of disenfranchised people emerging from the aftermath of the Asia-Pacific War the list is startling: Koreans in Japan (migrants or forced labourers), Burakumin, Hibakusha, Okinawans, Asian minorities, comfort women and many others. Many of these groups have been discussed in a large corpus of what we may call 'disenfranchised literature', and the research presented in this book intends to add an additional and particularly controversial example to the long list of the voice- and powerless. The presence of members of what is known as the yakeato sedai or the generation of people who experienced the fire-bombings of the Asia-Pacific War is conspicuous in all areas of contemporary Japan. From literature to the visual arts, from music to theatre, from architecture to politics, their influence and in many cases guiding principles is evident everywhere and in many cases forms the keystone of modern Japanese society and culture. The contributors to this book explore the impact of the yakeato generation - and their literary, creative and cultural and works - on the postwar period by drawing out the importance of the legacy of those people who truly survived the darkest hour of the twentieth century and re-evaluate the ramifications of their experiences in contemporary Japanese society and culture. As such this book will be of huge interest to those studying Japanese history, literature, poetry and cultural studies.

    Re-reading the Salaryman in Japan : Crafting Masculinities (2012)

    Abstract: In Japan, the figure of the suited, white-collar office worker or business executive 'salaryman' (or, sarariiman), came to be associated with Japan's economic transformation following World War Two. The ubiquitous salaryman came to signify both Japanese masculinity, and Japanese corporate culture, and in this sense, the salaryman embodied 'the archetypal citizen'. This book uses the figure of the salaryman to explore masculinity in Japan by examining the salaryman as a gendered construct. Whilst there is a considerable body of literature on Japanese corporate culture and a growing acknowledgement of the role of gender, until now the focus has been almost exclusively on women in the workplace. In contrast, this book is one of the first to focus on the men within Japanese corporate culture through a gendered lens. Not only does this add to the emerging literature on masculinity in Japan, but given the important role Japanese corporate culture has played in Japan's emergence as an industrial power, Romit Dasgupta's research offers a new way of looking both at Japanese business culture, and more generally at important changes in Japanese society in recent years. Based on intensive interviews carried out with young male private sector employees in Japan, this book makes an important contribution to the study of masculinity and Japanese corporate culture, in addition to providing an insight into Japanese culture more generally. As such it will be of great interest to students and scholars of Japanese studies, Japanese society and gender studies.

    Der Sportkonsument im Zusammenhang mit Sportgroßereignissen : Verbraucherverhalten am Beispiel der UEFA EURO 2012 (2012)

    Edition: 1st ed.

    Abstract: Sportgroßereignisse wie die Olympischen Spiele, die FIFA Fußballweltmeisterschaft oder auch die UEFA Europameisterschaft stellen heutzutage das Highlight für Sportkonsumenten, die Sportindustrie und für das Gastgeberland dar. Die Organisationskomitees der jeweiligen Länder betreiben immensen Aufwand und investieren erhebliche Summen in die Bewerbung um die Austragung derartiger Mega-Events. Denn schließlich besteht die Möglichkeit sich der Weltöffentlichkeit zu präsentieren. In diesem Imagefaktor liegt wohl das größte Potential für die gastgebende Nation, vor allem im Hinblick auf Tourismus und Wirtschaft. Doch ist es nicht Ziel dieser Studie, die Wirtschaftlichkeit eines Sportgroßereignisses zu prüfen, vielmehr steht der Verbraucher bzw. Sportkonsument und sein Verhalten bezüglich dieses Ereignisses im Mittelpunkt. Dieser wird im erheblichen Maße von dem Event beeinflusst. Man möchte sogar behaupten, dass ein Gastgeberland sich während der Dauer des Turniers im Ausnahmezustand befindet, so prägte z. B. der Begriff "Sommermärchen" den Zeitraum der FIFA Fußballweltmeisterschaft 2006 in Deutschland. Ein solches Event ist in vielerlei Hinsicht nicht nur das sportliche, sondern auch das gesellschaftliche und mediale Highlight des Jahres. Aus dem Titel dieses Buches leiten sich drei Themenblöcke ab: Sport als Konsumgut, das Verbraucherverhalten und das Eventmanagement. Diese Themen werden im Folgenden in gleicher Reihenfolge erörtert und bilden die theoretische Grundlage für das weitere Vorgehen. Nach der allgemeinen Theoriephase wird auf den aktuellen Forschungsstand zu derartigen Sportgroßereignissen eingegangen. Hierbei handelt es sich generell um ein noch sehr wenig wissenschaftlich erforschtes Gebiet. Im Rahmen des Buches werden dazu zwei noch sehr junge Studien zu diesem Thema vorgestellt. Die erste bezieht sich auf die WM 2006 in Deutschland...
    Abstract: und die zweite auf die EM 2008 in Österreich und der Schweiz. Ziel ist es, ein derartiges Event unter sozioökonomischen Gesichtspunkten zu betrachten und zu bewerten. Ein wesentlicher Bestandteil der beiden Studien ist das Erstellen von Konsummustern. Diese Modelle erfassen die Konsumausgaben der Besucher in tabellarischer Form und dienen als Grundlage zur weiteren Auswertung. Abschließend wird die UEFA EURO umfassend erläutert. Das Event wird unter Berücksichtigung der bisherigen Erkenntnisse umfassend analysiert und erläutert. Das letztendliche Ziel ist es, das Konsumverhalten der EM-Besucher darzulegen. Hierfür wird versucht aus den bestehenden Daten eine möglichst präzise und realistische Einschätzung zu erhalten. Anhand dieser Analyse werden die Konsummuster der Besucher der UEFA EURO 2012 prognostiziert. Es wurden die unterschiedlichen Einkommensverhältnisse der beiden Gastländer sowie das der Besucher anderer Länder berücksichtigt. Deshalb ist davon auszugehen, dass die durchschnittlichen Konsumausgaben pro Besucher, im Vergleich zu 2008, geringer ausfallen werden. Im Falle eines erfolgreichen Events könnte die Gesamtsumme allerdings höher ausfallen.   Biographische Informationen Julian Heichele, B.A., wurde 1986 in Friedberg (Bayern) geboren. Das Studium "International Management" an der HS Augsburg schloss er im Frühjahr 2012 erfolgreich ab. Während seines Studiums konzentrierte er sich auf folgende Schwerpunkte: 1. Global Market Strategy and International Marketing. 2. Sport & Event Marketing/ Event Management. Den zweiten Schwerpunkt absolvierte der Autor während seines Auslandsemesters and der University of the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australien. Der Praktische Bezug zu den Themen Sport und Events, im Besonderen im Zusammenhang mit der Fußballbrache, erfolgte anhand diverser Tätigkeiten.

    Abstract: Hauptbeschreibung Personalverantwortliche haben in der heutigen Zeit eine Vielzahl von Möglichkeiten geeignete Mitarbeiter zu suchen und schließlich auch zu finden. Einige mögen dabei unsicher sein, ob sie immer die richtige Methode wählen. Werden Führungskräfte über die "Neuen Medien" erreicht oder sollten Firmen bevorzugt auf die Schaltung einer Stellenanzeige in der Tageszeitung zurückgreifen? Ist es notwendig, die Personalsuche auf die jeweilige Zielgruppe anzupassen? Ist wirklich jeder von Plattformen wie Facebook & Co. begeistert und stellt gerne eigene Inhalte online? Dieses Buch formuliert Antworten auf diese Fragen und zeigt die Chancen und Möglichkeiten der neuen Medien im Bereich Recruiting auf. Daher dient die vorliegende Studie Personalverantwortlichen als Leitfaden für die Personalsuche. Die eigentliche Personalsuche beginnt schon bei der Medienauswahl. Besonders heutzutage wird die Bevölkerung mit Informationen überflutet, sodass es oft schwer ist, ihre Aufmerksamkeit gewinnen. Speziell die Neuen Medien erfreuen sich einer großen Beliebtheit. Auch Großunternehmen haben dies erkannt und nutzen bereits Social Media, um die eigene Marke weiter zu kommunizieren - auch im Hinblick auf die Selbstpräsentation und Außenwirkung als innovativer Arbeitgeber. Großunternehmen profitieren dabei schon von ihren namhaften Marken, während mittelständische Unternehmen eventuell nur regional bekannt sind und nur einen Bruchteil der attraktiven Zielgruppe erreichen. Hier ist es schwer, auch Arbeitnehmer aus anderen Regionen für sich zu begeistern. Wie können mittelständische Unternehmen gegen Großunternehmen mithilfe von Social Media bei der Personalsuche bestehen und die Gunst der Arbeitnehmer für sich gewinnen? Dieses Buch gibt einen Überblick über die Methoden der Personalbeschaffung und ihre Veränderung durch das Internet. Im Fokus der Studie...
    Abstract: steht die Personalbeschaffung in der sich ständig wandelnden Kommunikationsbranche, in welcher vor allem mittelständische Unternehmen tätig sind. Um die jeweilige Zielgruppe möglichst direkt anzusprechen, müssen die Unternehmen das Mediennutzungsverhalten der Zielgruppe in der Kommunikationsstrategie berücksichtigen. Social Media hat eine große Bedeutung für die Kommunikation mit Nachwuchskräften. Aber wie werden die Nachwuchskräfte auf das mittelständische Unternehmen aufmerksam? Zum Potenzial von Social Media für die Mitarbeitergewinnung wurden Personalverantwortliche befragt und aus den Ergebnissen Schlussfolgerungen für die Personalbeschaffung gezogen. Für die Agentur Roth & Lorenz wurde ein Recruiting-Mix zur Gewinnung von Nachwuchskräften entwickelt. Dieser dient auch als Handlungsempfehlung für andere Unternehmen.   Biographische Informationen Sonja Schneider wurde 1988 in Backnang geboren. Ihr Studium der Angewandten Medien-wirtschaft an der Hochschule Mittweida schloss sie im Jahre 2011 mit dem akademischen Grad des Bachelor of Arts erfolgreich ab. Bereits während des Studiums sammelte die Autorin umfassende praktische Erfahrungen in der Kommunikationsbranche. So erweiterte sie ihre Kenntnisse durch ein Praktikum in der PR-Abteilung der renommierten Agentur Roth & Lorenz. Hier entwickelte sie ein besonderes Interesse an der Personalbeschaffung von Nachwuchskräften und der damit verbundenen Kommunikation mit dieser Zielgruppe. Angetan von den Neuen Medien und deren Möglichkeiten beschäftigte sich die Autorin intensiv mit deren Eignung für die Personalbeschaffung und entwickelte in Zeiten des War of Talents eine Recruiting-Strategie für mittelständische Unternehmen.

    DDC: 364.34
    Abstract: In contrast to the widespread focus on ethnicity in relation to engagement in offending, the question of whether or not processes associated with desistance - that is the cessation and curtailment of offending behaviour - vary by ethnicity has received less attention. This is despite known ethnic differences in factors identified as affecting disengagement from offending, such as employment, place of residence, religious affiliation and family structure, providing good reasons for believing differences would exist. This book seeks to address this oversight. Using data obtained from in-depth qualitative interviews it investigates the processes associated with desistance from crime among offenders drawn from some of the principal minority ethnic groups in the United Kingdom. Cultures of Desistance explores how structural (families, friends, peer groups, employment, social capital) and cultural (religion, values, recognition) ethnic differences affected the environment in which their desistance took place. For Indians and Bangladeshis, desistance was characterised as a collective experience involving their families actively intervening in their lives. In contrast, Black and dual heritage offenders' desistance was a much more individualistic endeavour. The book suggests a need for a research agenda and justice policy that are sensitive to desisters' structural location, and for a wider culture which promotes and supports desisters' efforts.

    Abstract: Societal transformations have recently stimulated political debates and policies on the integration of migrants and minorities in most Western European countries. While transnational migration studies have documented migrants' cross-border activities there have been few empirically grounded efforts to theorise these developments in the framework of integration and status theory. Based on a case study of Ghanaian migrants, this book seeks to understand integration processes and develops a theorem of the status paradox of migration which explores the interaction between migrants' integration into the receiving country and the maintained inclusion into the sending society. It describes a characteristic problem for a large class of labour migrants from the global south who gain status in the sending countries by simultaneously losing it in the receiving countries of migration. This transnational dynamic of status attainment, which goes along with specifically national forms of status inconsistency, is what is called the status paradox of migration. By bringing together two modes of national status incorporation within one framework, the status paradox provides an innovative perspective on migration processes and demonstrates the usefulness of a transnationalist integration theory. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of migration, transnationalism, politics, sociology and anthropology.

    Abstract: This wide-ranging and accessible book offers a stimulating introduction to the field of media anthropology and the study of religious ritual. Johanna Sumiala explores the interweaving of rituals, communication and community. She uses the tools of anthropological enquiry to examine a variety of media events, including the death of Michael Jackson, a royal wedding and the transgressive actions which took place in Abu Ghraib, and to understand the inner significance of the media coverage of such events. The book deals with theories of ritual, media as ritual including reception, production and representation, and rituals of death in the media. It will be invaluable to students and scholars alike across media, religion and anthropology.

    Abstract: Since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, scenes of brutality and torture have appeared in mainstream comedies, dramatic narratives, and action films, for little other reason than to titillate and delight. In these films, torture is devoid of any redeeming qualities. It is represented as an exercise in brutal senselessness carried out by authoritarian regimes and institutions. Before 9/11, films outside of the horror/slasher genre that addressed torture depicted the practice in a variety of forms. In most cases, torture was cast as the act of a desperate and often depraved individual, and the viewer was more likely to identify with the victim rather than the torturer. This volume follows the significant shift in the representation of torture over the past decade, specifically in documentary, action, and political films, and it compares the development of this trend in films from the United States, Europe, China, Latin America, South Africa, and the Middle East. Featuring essays by sociologists, psychologists, historians, journalists, and specialists in film and cultural studies, this collection addresses the representation of torture in film and television from multiple angles and disciplines, connecting its aesthetics and practices to the dynamic of state terror and political domination.

    Abstract: Historic sites, memorials, national parks, museumsâ¦we live in an age in which heritage is ever-present. But what does it mean to live amongst the spectral traces of the past, the heterogeneous piling up of historic materials in the present? How did heritage grow from the concern of a handful of enthusiasts and specialists in one part of the world to something which is considered to be universally cherished? And what concepts and approaches are necessary to understanding this global obsession? Over the decades, since the adoption of the World Heritage Convention, various âcrisesâ of definition have significantly influenced the ways in which heritage is classified, perceived and managed in contemporary global societies. Taking an interdisciplinary approach to the many tangible and intangible âthingsâ now defined as heritage, this book attempts simultaneously to account for this global phenomenon and the industry which has grown up around it, as well as to develop a âtoolkit of conceptsâ with which it might be studied. In doing so, it provides a critical account of the emergence of heritage studies as an interdisciplinary field of academic study. This is presented as part of a broader examination of the function of heritage in late modern societies, with a particular focus on the changes which have resulted from the globalisation of heritage during the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Developing new theoretical approaches and innovative models for more dialogically democratic heritage decision making processes, Heritage: Critical Approaches unravels the relationship between heritage and the experience of late modernity, whilst reorienting heritage so that it might be more productively connected with other pressing social, economic, political and environmental issues of our time.

    Abstract: This powerful book shows us that we are in deep denial about the magnitude of the global environmental challenges and resource constraints facing the world. Despite growing scientific consensus on major environmental threats as well as resource depletion, societies are largely continuing with business as usual, at best attempting to tinker at the margins of the problems. The authors argue that regardless of whether governments respond to the economic crisis through additional stimulus packages or reduced government spending, environmental and resource constraints will remain. The crisis will be exacerbated by the combination of climate change, ecosystem decline and resource scarcity, in particular crude oil. The concept of Planetary Boundaries is introduced as a powerful explanation of the limits of the biosphere to sustain continued conventional growth.  The book breaks the long silence on population, criticizing donor countries for not doing enough to support the education of girls and reproductive health services. It is shown that an economy built on the continuous expansion of material consumption is not sustainable. De-growth, however, is no solution either. The growth dilemma can only be addressed through a transformation of the economic system. A strong plea is made for abandoning GDP growth as the key objective for development. The focus should instead be on a limited number of welfare indicators. The trickle-down concept is seriously questioned, to be replaced by one of sufficiency. Rich countries are called upon to hold back their material growth to leave room for a rising living standard among the poor. Alternative business models are presented, such as moving from products to services or towards a circular economy based on re-use, reconditioning and recylcing - all with the aim of facilitating sustainable development.

    South Asian Transnationalisms : Cultural Exchange in the Twentieth Century (2012)
    London : Taylor & Francis Group | Ann Arbor, Michigan : ProQuest
    Details

    Keywords: Transnationalism. ; Cultural fusion -- South Asia. ; South Asia -- Relations ; Electronic books
    Abstract: South Asian Transnationalisms explores encounters in twentieth century South Asia beyond the conventional categories of center and periphery, colonizer and colonized. Considering the cultural and political exchanges between artists and intellectuals of South Asia with counterparts in the United States, continental Europe, the Caribbean, and East Asia, the contributors interrogate the relationships between identity and agency, language and space, race and empire, nation and ethnicity, and diaspora and nationality. This book deploys transnational syntaxes such as cinema, dance, and literature to reflect on social, technological, and political change. Conceiving of the transnational as neither liberatory nor necessarily hegemonic, the authors seek to explore the contradictions, opportunities, disjunctures, and exclusions of the vexed experience of globalization in South Asia. This book was published as a special issue of South Asian History and Culture.

    Quality of Life and Public Management : Redefining Development in the Local Environment (2012)
    Florence : Taylor and Francis | Ann Arbor, Michigan : ProQuest
    Details
    ISBN: 9781136235894
    Language: English
    Pages: 1 Online-Ressource (209 pages)
    DDC: 351.41
    Abstract: Quality of Life and Public Management explores the possibility for a dramatic and significant improvement in quality of life for all population groups and sub-groups in the UK. Strongly evidence-based, the book draws on case study data and comparisons into local and central government structure, funding, policy, cultures and outcomes from a number of EU countries, such as Denmark, Germany, and Switzerland. It shows that quality of life on a number of important criteria is superior in these other countries than it is in the UK. The book makes a strong argument that it is possible to replicate this success in the UK and that failure to do so has been the result of failed political institutions, in particular local government. John Whitelegg examines the impact of better central and local governance on the welfare of children and older people. He also looks at the built environment, air quality, resilience and renewable energy in the UK and gives suggestions for practical and implementable policies based on evidence and best practice from other EU cities. The book is rooted in the belief that every locality can and should have the best possible standards of health, quality of life, environment, climate change protection and transport choices that can be found anywhere in the world. This book will be of great value to students and researchers in the fields of public management, politics, social work, planning and public services in general. It also has direct relevance for professionals in central and local government, councillors, community groups and NGOs.
