    Abstract: Purity and Danger is acknowledged as a modern masterpiece of anthropology. It is widely cited in non-anthropological works and gave rise to a body of application, rebuttal and development within anthropology. In 1995 the book was included among the Times Literary Supplement's hundred most influential non-fiction works since WWII. Incorporating the philosophy of religion and science and a generally holistic approach to classification, Douglas demonstrates the relevance of anthropological enquiries to an audience outside her immediate academic circle. She offers an approach to understanding rules of purity by examining what is considered unclean in various cultures. She sheds light on the symbolism of what is considered clean and dirty in relation to order in secular and religious, modern and primitive life.

    Abstract: In post-1991 Macedonia, Barok furniture came to represent affluence and success during a period of transition to a new market economy. This furniture marked the beginning of a larger Baroque style that influenced not only interior decorations in people's homes but also architecture and public spaces. By tracing the signifier Baroque, the book examines the reconfiguration of hierarchical relations among (ethnic) groups, genders, and countries in a transnational context. Investigating how Baroque has come to signify larger social processes and transformations in the current rebranding of the country, the book reveals the close link between aesthetics and politics, and how ethno-national conflicts are reflected in visually appealing ornamentation.

    Abstract: The ritual of rainmaking is one of half a dozen Japanese folk practices and festivals described in this book. The story of rainmaking ceremonies begins with personal experience and then draws on the work of Japanese folklorists to record significant local variations and to construct a general account of the history and purpose of the ceremony. Field research was conducted during study visits to Kyoto, to Tenri in Nara Prefecture and to Shiga Prefecture. The chapter order follows the year cycle, from New Year via early summer purificatory festivals and rainmaking ceremonial to the feast of Bon, which with New Year ceremonies divides the year. Alongside these community or public rites are described private or family rituals concerned with birth, marriage and death. The introductory chapter relates aspects of Japanese culture, myth and language to the constant features of folk practice recorded or extant in 1950s Japan. Originally published in 1963.

    Abstract: The International Encyclopedia of Economic Sociology is the first encyclopedia in the field and a timely response to the surge of interest in economic sociology over the last 30 years. Economic Sociology deals with the multiple and complex relations between economy and society. In particular, it focuses on the impact of social, political and cultural factors on economic behaviour. The Encyclopedia gives comprehensive and accessible coverage of the wide range of areas and subjects covered by the field, including, amongst many others, such major topics as consumption, corruption, democracy and economy, ecology, embeddedness, gender and economy, globalization, industrial relations, law and economy, markets, organization theory, political economy, religion and economic life, social capital, the sociology of money, state and economy, trust, and work. The International Encyclopedia of Economic Sociology is the much-needed major reference work on one of the richest areas of development in the social sciences in recent years. It is an extremely valuable new resource for students and researchers in sociology, economics, political science, and business, organization and management studies. Entries are cross-referenced and carry compact bibliographies. There is a full index.

    Keywords: Brown, James ; The Lumpen ; Geschichte 1960-1975 ; Black power ; Soul ; Musikpolitik ; USA
    Abstract: Examining the culture and politics of the Black Power era of the late 1960s, this book explores the relationship of soul music to the Black Power movement from the vantage point of the musicians and black revolutionaries themselves. The 1960s were a turbulent time for race relations in the United States, but no other area in the country epitomized the radical social change that was taking place more than the San Francisco Bay Area-the epicenter of the Black Panthers movement. This social history introduces fans of soul music and 20th-century U.S. history enthusiasts to the Black Panthers' own band, the Lumpen, a group comprised of rank-and-file members of the Oakland, California-based Party. During their year-long tenure, the Lumpen produced hard-driving rhythm-and-blues that asserted the revolutionary ideology of the Black Panthers. Through his rediscovery of the Lumpen, and based on new interviews with Party and band members, author Rickey Vincent provides an insider's account of Black Power politics and soul music aesthetics in an original narrative that reveals more detail about the Black Revolution than ever before.

    Abstract: This book offers a critical analysis of gender mainstreaming initiatives in the post-tsunami context in Indonesia. Aiming to challenge the terms of the debate in gender mainstreaming and disaster reconstruction efforts, Jauhola offers an important contribution for the discussion of what 'feminisms and disasters' could be. The work provides an in-depth analysis of three governmental practices of gender mainstreaming: the use of the concept pair sex/gender; the use of gender analysis and the use of project management tools and local subversion that challenges the potential normative violence of gender mainstreaming. Providing feminist intersectional reading of gender mainstreaming the book aims to illustrate that this framework does not lack political alternatives, but rather, it offers an alternative focus for feminism and for the re-conceptualisation of 'political', and provides tools for practitioners of aid aiming to come to grips with the complexity of gender equality policy agenda and its potential violent social consequences in global politics. Drawing on extensive field research in Aceh, this text is one of the first book length studies, and thus provides a significant addition to Indonesian literatures on intersectional analysis of gender, religion, heteronormativity, and feminist subversive practice. It is a vital resource for those interested in understanding global interconnections of localised disaster and conflict reconstruction.

    Keywords: Geschichte ; Tod ; Gemeinschaft ; Politische Philosophie ; Thanatologie ; Zwischenmenschliche Beziehung ; Sozialphilosophie
    Abstract: Spätestens seit der Lehre vom Naturzustand, die Thomas Hobbes auf so folgenreiche Weise ausgearbeitet hat, steht die Todesproblematik im Zentrum der politischen Philosophie. Denn unter der Bedingung einer geringeren Eindämmung durch Jenseitsfiktionen erscheint die Absolutheit des Todes nicht nur als eine angstbesetzte Bedrohung, sondern zugleich auch als das, was die politische Ordnung aufrecht erhält. Mit der Fundierung der Gemeinschaft in einer Todesdrohung, die alle angeht, taucht jedoch zugleich eine neue Problematik auf: die Zersetzung der Gemeinschaft, der wiederum allein durch den Horizont einer kollektiven Todesdrohung entgegengewirkt werden kann. Ausgehend von dieser Problematik, zeichnet die Studie von Leander Scholz am Leitfaden politischer Thanatologien den historischen Umbau von einer politischen Theologie zur politischen Ökonomie nach, sowie die Umformung der politischen Ökonomie zu einer politischen Ökologie. Hierbei steht die Formierung eines Lebenswillens im Vordergrund, der nicht mehr bereit ist, die Verinnerlichung der Todesdrohung als Horizont seiner Selbstbehauptung anzuerkennen.

    Abstract: First published in 1985, Mary Douglas intended Risk and Acceptability as a review of the existing literature on the state of risk theory. Unsatisfied with the current studies of risk, which she found to be flawed by individualistic and psychologistic biases, she instead uses the book to argue risk analysis from an anthropological perspective. Douglas raises questions about rational choice, the provision of public good and the autonomy of the individual.

    Abstract: Meaning in Culture discusses the question of whether 'culture' refers to some superorganic entity that exists in its own right, or is only convenient short-hand for the shared beliefs and behaviour of human individuals. It also investigates the problem of relativism and explores the question of whether anthropology and the other social sciences are really scientific. First published in 1975.

It explores their pacification and incorporation into a colonial state and the effects that these processes have had on Iteso territorial and political systems. At the same time it examines the way in which the political system both affected and was affected by other aspects of the Iteso social system, most notably in the fields of religion, descent and domestic kinship. First published in 1978.

    Abstract: Although most traditional economic theory puts the individual at the centre of analysis, more recent approaches have acknowledged the importance of a wider sense of identity as a determinant of individual behaviour. Whether it is ethnicity, religion or gender, group membership is a central part of human life. This book presents new advances in areas which consider both the individual and the group when measuring inequalities and well-being. The first part of the book covers topics such as relative deprivation and happiness, domains where even economists have now recognized the importance of reference groups in the assessment of individuals' well-being. The second part is devoted to the concept of polarization, a growing field of inquiry among economists. The third part looks at income and wage intra-generational mobility, while the fourth part reports on recent advances in measuring the significant differences between and within groups. The book concludes with several chapters devoted to poverty and social exclusion, stressing in particular the need for a multidimensional approach to these topics. This collection offers a fresh look at the way individual well-being should be measured, by emphasizing the role of reference groups and the idea of polarization, as well as stressing the impact on well-being of changes over time to the relative position of individuals. This book should be of interest to graduate students and researchers working in the field of development economics, inequality and poverty.

    Abstract: Der "idealisierte Rebell" und der "Dandy des Bösen" - beide sind unzweifelhaft Schlüsselfiguren gewesen. Ohne den einen wäre die 68er-Bewegung und ohne den anderen die RAF nicht zu verstehen. Und der eine wie der andere figurieren inzwischen als Objekte einer postumen Bewunderung. Obwohl sich Dutschke und Baader in ein- und derselben historischen Strömung bewegt haben, so schienen sie als Personen und in ihren jeweiligen Rollenfunktionen doch diametral entgegengesetzt zu sein. Während der eine als Verkörperung einer "neuen Moral" galt, so der andere die des infernalisch Bösen. Eine größere Polarisierung war seinerzeit wohl kaum denkbar. Dennoch existiert ein Zusammenhang, der sie miteinander verbindet. Beide setzten kompromißlos auf den Kampf, auf eine Strategie der Eskalation und beide besaßen eine obsessive Affinität zur Gewalt. Gleichermaßen bewunderten sie die Figur des Guerillero. Jeder wollte für sich genommen einem heroisch Gescheiterten nachfolgen. Auf je eigene Weise glaubten sie sich als Reinkarnation eines Che Guevara begreifen zu können - mitten im Kalten Krieg, im gespaltenen Deutschland, an dem am weitesten vorgeschobenen Posten des Westens, in der "Frontstadt" West-Berlin. Dutschke ist der erste gewesen, der hierzulande die Idee von der Stadtguerilla aufgriff - bereits lange vor dem Ausbruch der Studentenrevolte. Und Baader war derjenige, der sich nach ihrem Ende wie kein anderer als ein solcher städtischer Guerillero begriff. Was Dutschke noch mit klassenkämpferischer Diktion propagiert hatte, das wurde von dem Abenteurer, dem Auto- und Waffennarr Baader ohne großes ideologisches Federlesen praktiziert. Wer die Geschichte der RAF verstehen will, der kommt deshalb nicht an dieser lange Zeit übersehenen Beziehung vorbei.   Biographische Informationen Wolfgang Kraushaar, Dr. phil., geb. 1948, Politologe, wissenschaftlicher...

    Abstract: Walter Taplin here presents the first fruits of his exhaustive enquiry into the causes of this massive feature of contemporary life. Advertising has deeper and more interesting sources than the mere desire of manufacturers to secure markets, or of high-pressure salesmen to secure commissions. Taplin explores the nature of human wants, examines the functions and limitations of information, and distinguishes the good from the bad in the arts of persuasion. His approach to the subject is indeed a new one, and of the greatest value to all who wish to understand one of the most powerful forces of the day. First published in 1960.

    Abstract: First published in 1982, this collection of essays is a reproach to a form of the sociology of religion that treats people as the passive objects of impersonal social influences. In opposition to this, the author seeks to assert an active voice style of thinking about the relations between individuals and their cultural environment, whether in economics, history or literary criticism. This collection is assembled with the guiding principle that all the essays touch upon the borderland between economic values and personal judgements of quality. Several essays illustrate the theme from the place of economics in anthropology and the place of economic behaviour in sociological and cultural criticism. The essay on 'Cultural bias' suggests a systematic method of analysis for investigating social influences on judgement and choice.

    Abstract: The Routledge Companion to Advertising and Promotional Culture provides an essential guide to the key issues, methodologies, concepts, debates, and policies that shape our everyday relationship with advertising. The book contains eight sections: Historical Perspectives considers the historical roots and their relationship to recent changes of contemporary advertising and promotional practice. Political Economy examines how market forces, corporate ownership, and government policies shape the advertising and media promotion environment. Globalization presents work on advertising and marketing as a global, intercultural, and transnational practice. Audiences as Labor, Consumers, Interpreters, Fans introduces how people construct promotional meaning and are constructed as consumers, markets, and labor by advertising forces. Identities analyzes the ways that advertising constructs images and definitions of groups -- such as gender, race and the child -- through industry labor practices, marketing, as well as through representation in advertising texts. Social Institutions looks at the pervasiveness of advertising strategies in different social domains, including politics, music, housing, and education. Everyday Life highlights how a promotional ethos and advertising initiatives pervade self image, values, and relationships. The Environment interrogates advertising's relationship to environmental issues, the promotional efforts of corporations to construct green images, and mass consumption's relationship to material waste. With chapters written by leading international scholars working at the intersections of media studies and advertising studies, this book is a go-to source for those looking to understand the ways advertising has shaped consumer culture, in the past and present.

    Series Statement: Key Ideas
    DDC: 307
    Abstract: The increasing individualism of modern Western society has been accompanied by an enduring nostalgia for the idea of community as a source of security and belonging and, in recent years, as an alternative to the state as a basis for politics. Gerard Delanty begins this stimulating introduction to the concept with an analysis of the origins of the idea of community in Western Utopian thought, and as an imagined primitive state equated with traditional societies in classical sociology and anthropology. He goes on to chart the resurgence of the idea within communitarian thought, the complications and critiques of multiculturalism, and its new manifestations within a society where new modes of communication produce both fragmentation and the possibilities of new social bonds. Contemporary community, he argues, is essentially a communication community based on new kinds of belonging. No longer bounded by place, we are able to belong to multiple communities based on religion, nationalism, ethnicity, life-styles and gender.

Sie decken die Konstruktionsebenen ausgewaehlter literarischer, philosophischer, staedteplanerischer und subkultureller Phaenomene auf und zeigen, wie der Mythos Stadt und seine Aneignungsformen nicht nur die Gestaltung von Stadt, sondern auch die Art und Weise praegen, wie Stadt erlebt und Identitaet konstruiert wird.

    Abstract: It has often been claimed that "monsters"--supernatural creatures with bodies composed from multiple species--play a significant part in the thought and imagery of all people from all times. The Origins of Monsters advances an alternative view. Composite figurations are intriguingly rare and isolated in the art of the prehistoric era. Instead it was with the rise of cities, elites, and cosmopolitan trade networks that "monsters" became widespread features of visual production in the ancient world. Showing how these fantastic images originated and how they were transmitted, David Wengrow identifies patterns in the records of human image-making and embarks on a search for connections between mind and culture. Wengrow asks: Can cognitive science explain the potency of such images? Does evolutionary psychology hold a key to understanding the transmission of symbols? How is our making and perception of images influenced by institutions and technologies? Wengrow considers the work of art in the first age of mechanical reproduction, which he locates in the Middle East, where urban life began. Comparing the development and spread of fantastic imagery across a range of prehistoric and ancient societies, including Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece, and China, he explores how the visual imagination has been shaped by a complex mixture of historical and universal factors. Examining the reasons behind the dissemination of monstrous imagery in ancient states and empires, The Origins of Monsters sheds light on the relationship between culture and cognition.

    Abstract: Im Jahr 2012 wird das Thema "Jugendfernsehen" wieder stark diskutiert. Die öffentlich-rechtlichen Sender stellen sich die Frage, ob das Anbieten von Jugendsendungen zu ihren Pflichtaufgaben gehört. Diese Überlegungen existieren bereits seit dem Bestehen des deutschen Fernsehens. Seit dessen Beginn wurde viel ausprobiert, um die Jugendlichen zu unterhalten. Doch wie das aktuelle Programmangebot zeigt, hat dies nicht funktioniert. Heute werden die Jugendlichen zu der werberelevanten Gruppe (14-49jährige) gezählt und haben keine speziell für ihr Alter ausgeschriebenen Sendungen mehr. Welche Ursachen haben dazu geführt, dass das junge Publikum nach dem Kinderkanal dem TV- Dschungel schutzlos ausgesetzt ist? Welche Fehler wurden gemacht, so dass sich heute niemand mehr traut Sendungen speziell für Jugendliche zu produzieren? In dieser Studie werden zunächst die Begriffe "Jugend" und "Jugendfernsehen" definiert. Im Hauptteil wird die Geschichte des deutschen Jugendfernsehens vorgestellt. Welche Sendungen waren für Jugendliche gedacht, was wollten die Produzenten erreichen und wie groß war das eigentliche Interesse der jungen Zuschauer? Ziel dieses Abschnitts ist das Herausarbeiten von Gründen für das Scheitern deutscher Jugendsendungen. Dabei beschränkt sich die geschichtliche Aufarbeitung auf Sendungen, die speziell für Jugendliche konzipiert, und als solche ausgewiesen sind. Auf fiktive Jugendfilme und TV-Serien sowie Musik-, Kinder- und Familiensendungen wird nicht eingegangen.Der zweite Teil der Arbeit konzentriert sich auf das aktuelle TV-Angebot für Jugendliche. In welche Richtung hat sich das Jugendfernsehen entwickelt und was bietet es heute an? Bei dieser Untersuchung werden Studienergebnisse einbezogen, die Informationen zu beliebten Medien sowie Lieblingssendungen der jungen Zielgruppe liefern. Gibt es bereits Formate im deutschen Fernsehen,...
    Abstract: die überwiegend von Jugendlichen gesehen werden und doch nicht als Jugendsendungen ausgezeichnet sind? Neben dem Medium Fernsehen werden zum Vergleich die Printmedien und der Hörfunk auf erfolgreiche Jugendangebote untersucht. Als Beispiel dienen hier die Jugendzeitschrift NEON und das Jugendradio Eins Live. Was sind ihre Erfolgskonzepte beim jungen Publikum, und lassen sich diese auch auf das Medium Fernsehen übertragen? Kann Jugendfernsehen mit den richtigen Leitlinien erfolgreich sein? Biographische InformationenMaria Brennecke wurde im Jahr 1985 geboren. Nach ihrem Abitur entschied sie sich 2005 bewusst für einen 2-Fach-Bachelor mit den Kernfächern: Medien (Fernsehen und Film) und Erziehungswissenschaften. Die Verbindung beider Fächer lag auf der Hand, denn alle Medien bemühen sich um die Aufmerksamkeit und das Erreichen des Publikums. Dafür muss man dieses in seinen einzelnen Entwicklungen, Bedürfnissen und Interessen verstehen. Schnell kam die Erkenntnis, dass zwar die Lebensphase Jugend in der Erziehungswissenschaft eine wichtige Rolle spielt, ihr beliebtestes Medium Fernsehen jedoch diese Gruppe übersieht. So entstand die Idee im Rahmen einer Studie dieses Phänomen zu untersuchen und zu erklären. Die Tatsache, dass es kaum aktuelle Literatur zu diesem Thema gab, war für die Autorin ein weiterer Ansporn dieses Buch zu verfassen.

    Abstract: Auf dem Tahrir-Platz in Kairo geschieht im Januar 2011 etwas, mit dem die Welt nicht gerechnet hatte: Nach 30 Jahren der Diktatur unter Husni Mubarak steht das ägyptische Volk auf und fordert seine Rechte ein. Was kurz zuvor in Tunesien geschah, steht nun auch dem Regime am Nil bevor, viele weitere arabische Staaten werden ihrem Beispiel folgen.Ausgerüstet mit Facebookprofil und Twitteraccount können sich die Akteure nicht nur untereinander vernetzen, sondern erreichen so auch den Rest der Welt, da reguläre Nachrichtenkanäle und Kommunikationsmöglichkeiten von Zensur geprägt und nur schwer zugänglich sind. Doch reicht das schon aus, um von einer Facebook Revolution zu sprechen?Das Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, anhand des Beispiels Ägypten zu untersuchen, welche Rolle soziale Medien und neue Kommunikationsformen bei den Umbrüchen in der arabischen Welt spielen. Biographische InformationenKatrin Hillenbrand wurde 1985 in Heidelberg geboren. Sie hat vergleichende Kultur- und Religionswissenschaft in Marburg und Guadalajara/Mexiko studiert und schloss dieses Studium 2013 mit dem Schwerpunkt Kultur- und Sozialanthropologie erfolgreich ab. Nach einigen Auslandsaufenthalten in Lateinamerika, Asien und der arabischen Welt hat sie sich dazu entschlossen, ihre Abschlussarbeit Ägypten und dem arabischen Frühling zu widmen. Die Autorin lebt zurzeit in Frankfurt am Main.

    Abstract: Dass die 2000er das Jahrzehnt der Retro-Wellen gewesen seien, wurde in den Feuilletons der Zeitungen, Mode- und Musikmagazine nicht erst nach der Veröffentlichung von Simon Reynolds Buch Retromania thematisiert. Retromania eröffnete der Debatte nach Abschluss des Jahrzehnts jedoch implizit Perspektiven fernab von Kulturpessimismus und der Konstatierung von Kreativitätskrisen. In seiner Bachelorarbeit versucht Manuel Wagner, diese Perspektiven explizit zu machen und die zahlreichen Pop-Anekdoten, die Simon Reynolds bereitstellt, zu sortieren und in einen größeren Zusammenhang zu stellen, namentlich jugend- und subkulturelle Identitätskonstruktionen angesichts des Bruchs mit Authentizitäts- und Fortschrittsparadigmen im postmodernen Zustand. Es werden die feinen Unterschiede zwischen Retro und Nostalgie herausgearbeitet, um - anhand der ästhetischen Geschichte der Jugendkulturen der Nachkriegszeit - Retrowellen nun als originär postmodern verstehen zu können. Anschließend werden die Schwierigkeiten der etablierten Sozialwissenschaften beim Versuch beschrieben, Jugendkultur und Retrophänomene adäquat zu erfassen. Der interdisziplinäre Ansatz der Cultural Studies, welche sich in Deutschland erst seit kurzer Zeit etablieren, soll den soziologischen Werkzeugkoffer erweitern. Auf diesem Weg kann letztendlich der besagte Bruch exemplarisch an jenen illustriert werden, die zeitgenössisch mit den Bezeichnungen Emo und Hipster versehen werden, und an jenen, die gegenwärtig versuchen ihre selbstauthentifizierte und legitimierte Deutungsmacht über diese Bezeichnungen zu verteidigen.

    Abstract: Social scientists often refer to contemporary advanced societies as 'knowledge societies', which indicates the extent to which 'science', 'knowledge' and 'knowledge production' have become fundamental phenomena in Western societies and central concerns for the social sciences. This book aims to investigate the political dimension of this production and validation of knowledge.In studying the relationship between knowledge and politics, this book provides a novel perspective on current debates about 'knowledge societies', and offers an interdisciplinary agenda for future research. It addresses four fundamental aspects of the relation between knowledge and politics: the ways in which the nature of the knowledge we produce affects the nature of political activity how the production of knowledge calls into question fundamental political categories how the production of knowledge is governed and managed how the new technologies of knowledge produce new forms of political action.This book will be of interest to students of sociology, political science, cultural studies and science and technology studies.

    Abstract: Heated debates about Muslim women's veiling practices have regularly attracted the attention of European policymakers over the last decade. The headscarf has been both vehemently contested by national and/or regional governments, political parties and public intellectuals and passionately defended by veil wearing women and their supporters. Systematically applying a comparative perspective, this book addresses the question of why the headscarf tantalises and causes such controversy over issues about religious pluralism, secularism, neutrality of the state, gender oppression, citizenship, migration, and multiculturalism.Seeking also to establish why the issue has become part of the disciplinary practices of some European countries but not of others, this work brings together an important collection of interpretative research regarding the current debates on the veil in Europe, offering an interdisciplinary scope and European-wide setting. Brought together through a common research methodology, the contributors focus on the different religious, political and cultural meanings of the veiling issue across eight countries and develop a comparative explanation of veiling regimes. This work will be of great interest to students and scholars of religion & politics, gender studies and multiculturalism.

    Keywords: Großstadt ; Sexualverhalten
    Abstract: From the hotspots of commercial sex through to the suburbia of twitching curtains, urban life and sexualities appear inseparable. Cities are the source of our most familiar images of sexual practice, and are the spaces where new understandings of sexuality take shape. In an era of global business and tourism, cities are also the hubs around which a global sex trade is organised and where virtual sex content is obsessively produced and consumed.Detailing the relationships between sexed bodies, sexual subjectivities and forms of intimacy, Cities and Sexualities explores the role of the city in shaping our sexual lives. At the same time, it describes how the actions of urban governors, city planners, the police and judiciary combine to produce cities in which some sexual proclivities and tastes are normalised and others excluded. In so doing, it maps out the diverse sexual landscapes of the city - from spaces of courtship, coupling and cohabitation through to sites of adult entertainment, prostitution, and pornography. Considering both the normative geographies of heterosexuality and monogamy, as well as urban geographies of radical/queer sex, this book provides a unique perspective on the relationship between sex and the city.Cities and Sexualities offers a wide overview of the state-of-the-art in geographies and sociologies of sexuality, as well as an empirically-grounded account of the forms of desire that animate the erotic city.  It describes the diverse sexual landscapes that characterise both the contemporary Western city as well as cities in the global South.  The book features a wide range of boxed case studies as well as suggestions for further reading at the end each chapter. It will appeal to undergraduate students studying Geography, Urban Studies, Gender Studies and Sociology.

    Series Statement: Routledge Studies in Middle Eastern Economies
    DDC: 306.09567
    Abstract: This systematic evaluation of Iraq's political economy and human development offers a complex and sophisticated analysis of Iraq's recent history. Focusing on the period from 1950 up to the Gulf war in 1990, the book brings an understanding of how development has been shaped or constrained in this much misunderstood country.The author employs the human development paradigm to link human development and human rights to the analysis of political economy. The resulting scholarship, on income and investment, education and health, the status of women, and human rights, presents a nuanced, balanced - but critical - appraisal of the complex interrelationships between economic growth and development and illustrates the fragility of that development, especially when political institutions fail to keep up with the rapid expansion in human capabilities. Providing the historical analysis needed to understand Iraq's current political situation, this book will be of great interest to scholars of development studies, Iraq, and political economy.

    Abstract: Dissatisfaction with the present can cause people to gaze nostalgically back to an idealized past; that nostalgia pervades contemporary rhetoric. In lamenting the 'degeneracy' of present-day America, social and literary critics as well as contemporary novelists often choose as their scapegoat the women's movement and its increasing influence. Doane and Hodges show us how these social observers seek to 'reinstate' America and American values in ways that, overtly or covertly, do battle with the feminist movement for control of rhetoric, the power of language.

    Series Statement: Routledge Library Editions: Feminist Theory
    DDC: 305.42
    Abstract: The 'minority' feminist viewpoints have often been submerged in the interests of maintaining a mainstream, universal model of feminism. This anthology takes into account the various differences among women while looking at the important areas of feminist struggle. While sisterhood is indeed global, it certainly does not mean that all women are required to submerge their specific differences and assimilate to a universal model. Consequently, the collection includes essays by leaders in the field of post-structuralist enquiry as well as by those immersed in the new spirituality, and the social consequences of recent biological research. Other essays reflect the political struggles which continue to be waged with different strategies by socialist and radical feminists, and the self-searching analyses undertaken by feminists uneasy about their inclusion within educational institutions and the radical new interpretations of sexuality within the cultural domain. The collection begins with a critique of white mainstream feminism emanating from Aboriginal women in Australia. The implications of the critique indicate that there is a pervasive racism within the feminist movement.

    Abstract: This is the first volume to fully explore the complex relationship between war and tourism by considering its full range of dynamics; including political, psychological, economic and ideological factors at different levels, in different political and geographical locations. Issues of peace and tourism are dealt with insofar as they pertain to the effects of war on tourism that emerge after the cessation of hostilities. The book therefore reveals how not only location, but also political strategies, accidents of history, transportation linkages, and economic expediency all have played their role in the development and continuation of tourism before, during, and after wartime. It further show how the effects of war are seldom if ever simply a negation or reversal of the effects of peace on tourism.The volume draws on a range of examples, from medieval times to the present, to reveal the multi-faceted development of tourism amidst and because of conflict in a wide variety of locations, including the Pacific, Europe, the Middle East, North America, Africa and South East Asia, showing the diverse ways in which tourism and war interacts. In doing so it explores how some locations have been developed as tourist attractions primarily because of war and conflict, e.g. as resting and training places for troops, and others flourished because of the threat of danger from conflicts to more traditional tourist locations.This thought provoking volume contributes to the understanding of the interrelationships between war, peace and tourism in many different parts of the world at different scales. It will be valuable reading for all those interested in this topic as well as dark tourism, battlefield tourism and heritage tourism.

    Abstract: The political and social structures of modernity are dominated by really eurocentric forms and relations, yet the theorisation of the eurocentricity of modernity remains barely developed. At the same time, modern political and social theory is fundamentally eurocentric, yet the critique of eurocentrism remains marginal to marxian and critical realist theory. Addressing the eurocentrism of both modernity and modern theory, Eurocentrism: A Marxian Critical Realist Critique discloses the deeply embedded constraints it imposes on historical and social reflexivity. Building on the insights of post-structuralism and post-colonialism, Eurocentrism shows how the powerful anti-eurocentric tendencies of the marxian critique of civil society and the critical realist critique of philosophy have been misunderstood or ignored. It develops the latent potential of these traditions to develop a systematically anti-eurocentric approach to understanding and explaining modernity.

    Abstract: This edited volume provides a comprehensive and critical review of what we know about military service and the life course, what we don't know, and what we need to do to better understand the role of military service in shaping people's lives. It demonstrates that the military, like colleges and prisons, is a key social institution that engages individuals in early adulthood and shapes processes of cumulative (dis)advantage over the life course.  The chapters provide topical synthesizes of the vast but diffuse research literatures on military service and the life course, while the volume as a whole helps to set the agenda for the next generation of data collection and scholarship. Chapter authors pay particular attention to how the military has changed over time; how experiences of military service vary across cohorts and persons with different characteristics; how military service affects the lives of service members' spouses, children, and families; and the linkages between research and policy.

    Abstract: Studies of the Irish presence in America have tended to look to the main corridors of emigration, and hence outside the American South. Yet the Irish constituted a significant minority in the region. Indeed, the Irish fascination expresses itself in Southern context in powerful, but disparate, registers: music, literature, and often, a sense of shared heritage. Rethinking the Irish in the South aims to create a readable, thorough introduction to the subject, establishing new ground for areas of inquiry. These essays offer a revisionist critique of the Irish in the South, calling into question widely held understandings of how Irish culture was transmitted. The discussion ranges from Appalachian ballads, to Gone With the Wind, to the Irish rock band U2, to Atlantic-spanning literary friendships. Rather than seeing the Irish presence as "natural" or something completed in the past, these essays posit a shifting, evolving, and unstable influence. Taken collectively, they offer a new framework for interpreting the Irish in the region. The implications extend to the interpretation of migration patterns, to the understanding of Irish diaspora, and the assimilation of immigrants and their ideas.

    Abstract: This book is designed to reflect both our current knowledge regarding sport, globalisation and '"encounters" with several important "post-colonial" or non-western societies and to draw together scholars from a range of different disciplines. Case studies of cultural encounters in Central, South-East Asia, Asia Minor and the Arabian peninsula capture the paradoxical processes of emulation, resistance and transformation that are at work in the diffusion and development of "sport" and body cultures. These case studies bring together insights from anthropology, cultural studies, geography, history, law, sociology, various area and post-colonial studies.

    Abstract: Contemporary media authorship is frequently collaborative, participatory, non-site specific, or quite simply goes unrecognized. In this volume, media and film scholars explore the theoretical debates around authorship, intention, and identity within the rapidly transforming and globalized culture industry of new media. Defining media broadly, across a range of creative artifacts and production cultures-from visual arts to videogames, from textiles to television-contributors consider authoring practices of artists, designers, do-it-yourselfers, media professionals, scholars, and others. Specifically, they ask: What constitutes "media" and "authorship" in a technologically converged, globally conglomerated, multiplatform environment for the production and distribution of content? What can we learn from cinematic and literary models of authorship-and critiques of those models-with regard to authorship not only in television and recorded music, but also interactive media such as videogames and the Internet? How do we conceive of authorship through practices in which users generate content collaboratively or via appropriation?What institutional prerogatives and legal debates around intellectual property rights, fair use, and copyright bear on concepts of authorship in "new media"? By addressing these issues, Media Authorship demonstrates that the concept of authorship as formulated in literary and film studies is reinvigorated, contested, remade-even, reauthored-by new practices in the digital media environment.

    Abstract: In Pomak (Greece), we attest to the loss of a morphologically overt expression of mediate information, passing through a stage of variation (determined by syntactic, semantic, and discursive criteria). This change takes place in a trilingual setting where the main contact language (Greek) has no grammaticalized form to express mediate information, while the second contact language (Turkish), has a verbal past paradigm specialized for evidentiality. This phenomenon is analyzed within a multiple causation approach in which language contact acts as a catalyst.

    Abstract: This fascinating book examines the position of women under the Nazis. The National Socialist movement was essentially male-dominated, with a fixed conception of the role women should play in society; while man was the warrior and breadwinner, woman was to be the homemaker and childbearer. The Nazi obsession with questions of race led to their insisting that women should be encouraged by every means to bear children for Germany, since Germany's declining birth rate in the 1920s was in stark contrast with the prolific rates among the 'inferior' peoples of eastern Europe, who were seen by the Nazis as Germany's foes. Thus, women were to be relieved of the need to enter paid employment after marriage, while higher education, which could lead to ambitions for a professional career, was to be closed to girls, or, at best, available to an exceptional few. All Nazi policies concerning women ultimately stemmed from the Party's view that the German birth rate must be dramatically raised.

    Abstract: What is the root cause of ethical failure? Why is preoccupation with ethics more a part of the problem than a part of the solution? What makes ethical conduct a natural expression of who we are? What enables us to be ourselves in our relations with others? Ethical failure has become a significant concern in public life, in organizations and in educational institutions. The Capacity for Ethical Conduct explores how qualities of character and personality either make ethical conduct possible for the individual or foster ethical failure. David Levine discusses how ethical conduct is a special way of relating to others, one that secures respect for their integrity by assuring that what they do can express who they are. He argues that this special way of relating to others results not from knowledge of, or a stated commitment to, rules, norms and values, but from the way we experience ourselves, especially from our ability to make a positive emotional investment in being and having a self. Traditionally, emphasis on the importance of values and ethics in shaping conduct tends to be connected to the need to find fault in self and others, fostering an atmosphere where the self is put at risk in its relations to others. This means that an excessive emphasis on ethics, rather than assuring ethical conduct, tends instead to create interpersonal settings marked by emotional assault. Because of this, talk about ethics often expresses ambivalence about ethical conduct, which makes the familiar combination of preoccupation with ethics and ethical failure unsurprising.The Capacity for Ethical Conduct explores the ways in which the interpersonal world of work either fosters a feeling of safety or encourages various forms of emotional assault. Presenting case studes and applying psychoanalytic object relation theory and self psychology, this book explores the...

    Abstract: This book reveals the dramatic stories of twenty outstandingly gifted people as they grew from early promise to maturity in Britain. Recorded over the last thirty-five years by award-winning psychologist, Joan Freeman, these fascinating accounts reveal the frustrations and triumphs of her participants, and investigates why some fell by the wayside whilst others reached fame and fortune.These exceptional people possess a range of intellectual, social and emotional gifts in fields such as mathematics, the arts, music and spirituality. Through their particular abilities, they were often confronted with extra emotional challenges, such as over-anxious and pushy parents, teacher put-downs, social trip-wires, boredom and bullying in school and conflicting life choices. Their stories illustrate how seemingly innocuous events could have devastating life-long consequences, and confront the reader with intriguing questions such as: Does having a brilliant mind help when you are ethnically different or suffering serious depression? How does a world-class pianist cope when repetitive strain injury strikes, or a young financier when he hits his first million? What is the emotional impact of grade-skipping?Joan Freeman's insights into the twists and turns of these lives are fascinating and deeply moving. She shows us that while fate has a part to play, so does a personal outlook which can see and grab a fleeting chance, overcome great odds, and put in the necessary hard work to lift childhood prodigy to greatness. Readers will identify with many of the intriguing aspects of these people's lives, and perhaps learn something about themselves too.

    Abstract: Mediatization has emerged as a key concept to reconsider old, yet fundamental questions about the role and influence of media in culture and society. In particular the theory of mediatization has proved fruitful for the analysis of how media spread to, become intertwined with, and influence other social institutions and cultural phenomena like politics, play and religion.This book presents a major contribution to the theoretical understanding of the mediatization of culture and society. This is supplemented by in-depth studies of: The mediatization of politics: From party press to opinion industry;The mediatization of religion: From the faith of the church to the enchantment of the media;The mediatization of play: From bricks to bytes;The mediatization of habitus: The social character of a new individualism.Mediatization represents a new social condition in which the media have emerged as an important institution in society at the same time as they have become integrated into the very fabric of social and cultural life. Making use of a broad conception of the media as technologies, institutions and aesthetic forms, Stig Hjarvard considers how characteristics of both old and new media come to influence human interaction, social institutions and cultural imaginations.

    Abstract: When it was first published in 1984, this book filled an acknowledged gap in the social history of the period and made available hitherto inaccessible sources. The work draws on newspapers and journals, memoirs, diaries, courtesy books, county surveys and records, but also on the literature of the period, its novels, poetry and plays. It examines the role assigned to women in eighteenth-century society and the education thought fitting to perform it. It looks at attitudes to courtship and marriage, chastity and sexual passion. It explores the role of women as wives and mothers, as spinsters and widows, and focuses on the living and working experience of women whether in the home, agriculture, industry or domestic service. It contrasts the expectations of the rich and the poor, the leisured lady and the underpaid female agricultural labourer, the unmarried mother and the prostitute.

    Abstract: In recent years, there has been an explosion of interest in the contemporary social study of the body which has raised important theoretical and methodological questions regarding traditional social and cultural analysis. It has also generated corporeal theories that highlight the fluid, shifting, yet situated character of the body in society. In turn, these corporeal theories have implications for social relations in an era of new technologies and global market economies.The Body and Everyday Life offers a lively and comprehensive introduction to the study of the body. It uses case studies in performance practices to examine the key concepts, methods and critical insights gained from this area. It includes sections on:ethnographies of the bodybodies of performanceperforming genderthe ageing performing body.This book clearly illustrates the complex relationships that exist between the body, society and everyday life, and considers the negative and positive implications for the development of future socio-cultural analysis in the field. It will be an invaluable introduction for students of sociology, body studies, gender studies, dance and performance, and cultural studies.

    Abstract: This volume pursues a new line of research in cultural memory studies by understanding memory as a performative act in art and popular culture. The authors take their cue from the observation that art and popular culture enact memory and generate processes of memory. They do memory, and in this doing of memory new questions about the cultural dimensions of memory arise: How do art objects and artistic practices perform the past in the present? What is their relationship to the archive? Does the past speak in the performed past (or do we speak to it)? To what purpose do objects "recall"? And for whom do they recollect? Here authors combine a methodological focus on memory as performance with a theoretical focus on art and popular culture as practices of remembrance. The essays in the book thus analyze what is at stake in the complex processes of remembering and forgetting, of recollecting and disremembering, of amnesia and anamnesis, that make up cultural memory.

    Abstract: The complex relationship between heritage places and people, in the broadest sense, can be considered dialogic, a communicative act that has implications for both sides of the 'conversation'. This is the starting point for Heritage and Tourism . However, the 'dialogue' between visitors and heritage sites is complex. 'Visitors' have, for many decades, become synonymous with 'tourists' and the tourism industry and so the dialogic relationship between heritage place and tourists has produced a powerful critique of this often contested relationship. Further, at the heart of the dialogic relationship between heritage places and people is the individual experience of heritage where generalities give way to particularities of geography, place and culture, where anxieties about the past and the future mark heritage places as sites of contestation, sites of silences, sites rendered political and ideological, sites powerfully intertwined with representation, sites of the imaginary and the imagined. Under the aegis of the term 'dialogues' the heritage/tourism interaction is reconsidered in ways that encourage reflection about the various communicative acts between heritage places and their visitors and the ways these are currently theorized, so as to either step beyond - where possible - the ontological distinctions between heritage places and tourists or to re-imagine the dialogue or both. Heritage and Tourism is thus an important contribution to understanding the complex relationship between heritage and tourism.

Drawing on original field-research with British soldiers, it offers insights into how their everyday experiences are shaped by, and shape, a politics of gender, race and sexuality that not only underpins power relations in the military, but the geopolitics of wars waged by liberal states. Linking the politics of daily life to the international is an intervention into international relations (IR) and security studies because instead of overlooking the politics of the everyday, this book insists that it is vital to explore how geopolitical events and practices are co-constituted, reinforced and contested by it. By utilising insights from Michel Foucault, the book explores how shared and collectively mediated knowledge on gender, race and sexuality facilitates certain claims about the nature of governing in liberal states and about why and how such states wage war against 'illiberal' ones in pursuit of global peace and security. The book also develops post-structural work in international relations by urging scholars interested in the linguistic construction of geopolitics to consider the ways in which bodies, objects and architectures also reinforce particular ideas about war, identity and statehood.

    Abstract: Unternehmens- und Kundenkommunikation in den sozialen Netzwerken ist aus dem heutigen Kommunikations-Mix nicht mehr wegzudenken. Die wechselseitige Kommunikation mit dem Konsumenten hat jedoch nicht nur Vorteile. Aktuell zeigen sich immer öfter auch die Negativaspekte dieser Kommunikationsform und stellen Unternehmen vor neue Anforderungen in ihrer Kommunikation. Sie geschieht nicht mehr hinter verschlossenen Türen, sondern öffentlich in Echtzeit und erfordert eine spezifische Krisenkommunikation der Unternehmen. Sie sind nun gezwungen Reaktionsstrategien zu entwickeln, Risiken richtig zu bewerten, aber auch im Vorfeld proaktiv zu agieren, um auf Augenhöhe mit den Konsumenten zu kommunizieren und adäquat zu handeln.Unlängst zum Anglizismus des Jahres 2011 gewählt, beschreibt der Shitstorm die öffentliche Entrüstung und negative Meinungsbildung im Internet gegenüber Unternehmen; verbreitet über soziale Netzwerke. Schwerpunkt der Arbeit ist die Begriffserklärung, Darstellung und Analyse des Shitstorm im Social Web anhand jüngster Fallbeispiele. Aus dem Blickwinkel des Unternehmens werden dann die angewandten Strategien der Krisenkommunikation im Social Web untersucht. Biographische InformationenAndreas Naber, B.A., wurde 1977 in Hamburg geboren.

    Abstract: Der Anspruch dieser Arbeit ist es, den Zusammenhang zwischen den Fertilitätsraten, Sterberaten und dem Wohlstand einer Bevölkerung aufgrund der historischen Daten herzustellen. Die daraus entstehenden Verknüpfungen können eine weitere Erklärung für das Eintreten der industriellen Revolution sein. Durch diese Zusammenhänge lassen sich darüber hinaus auch weitere Wohlstands- und Armutsphasen in der Weltgeschichte erklären. Die Arbeit wurde am Lehrstuhl für Wirtschaftsgeschichte an der Ludwigs-Maximilian Universität München unter der Betreuung von Herrn Prof. Davide Cantoni, Ph.D., angefertigt.   Biographische Informationen Jonathan M. Grothaus, B.Sc. in Economics, wurde 1987 in München geboren. Sein Studium der Volkswirtschaftslehre an der Ludwigs-Maximilian Universität München schloss der Autor im Jahre 2012 mit dem akademischen Grad des Bachelor of Science erfolgreich ab. Während des Studiums sammelte der Autor umfassende praktische Erfahrung in der IT- und Medienbranche. Fasziniert von den empirischen Möglichkeiten in der Wirtschaftsgeschichte legte der Autor seinen Studienschwerpunkt auf dieses Gebiet. Die dort gewonnenen Erkenntnisse motivierten ihn, sich der Thematik des vorliegenden Buches intensiv zu widmen.

    Abstract: Gegenstand der Arbeit ist es, eine möglichst aufschlussreiche Betrachtung moderner Methoden zu geben, welcher sich Politiker und Parteien annehmen, um möglichst positive Wirkung beim Bürger im Zusammenspiel mit Medien zu erzielen. Hierbei wird im Speziellen auf den Bereich der Fernsehmedien (Bewegbilder) eingegangen. Verfolgt wird die Frage nach der Wichtigkeit einer wirkungsvoll positiven Inszenierung politischer Persönlichkeiten im Massenmedium Fernsehen. Exemplarisch wird dabei das Format der politischen Talkshow aufgegriffen, da sie dem Anschein nach das passende Forum für jene Art von Darstellung bietet. Die Kernfragen sind dabei: Welche Strategien der Inszenierung gibt es? Welche Voraussetzungen müssen für eine telekonforme Darstellung erfüllt werden? Was macht die Talkshow so erfolgreich und warum ist sie, wie sie ist?.

    Abstract: Publius Ovidius Nasos Text aus den Metamorphosen Pyramus und Thisbe ist eine Mischung von verschiedenen Sprachniveaus, mit welchen der Autor spielt, um seine Leser zu unterhalten. Er macht alle möglichen Anspielungen auf Motive aus der elegischen Dichtung und hellenistischen Romanen, die in eine romantische, märchenhafte Stimmung versetzen. Obwohl Ovid uns eine hochdramatische Liebesgeschichte bietet, schreibt er gleichzeitig auf humorvolle Weise. Die japanische Fassung macht jedoch etwas Anderes aus Ovids Text. Sie betont das visuelle Element stärker wegen der Piktogramme und überrascht durch onomatopoetische Akzente an bedeutenden Stellen in der Erzählung, die Geräusche hörbar machen. Tawada Yokos Version der Ovidischen Szene hebt den Realismus hervor, verwandelt den Text in etwas Magisches unter dem Einfluss von Sei Shonagon. Wie Ovid verwebt sie Thisbes Geschichte mit einem anderen Mythos, dem von Iphis, aber wie die Hofdame beschreibt sie verschiedene Momente in ihrem Leben und ihren Gedanken, ganz wie in einem Tagebucheintrag. Jedoch ist die wichtigste Metamorphose, über die Tawada Yoko spricht, diejenige, unter dem Einfluss einer fremden Kultur ein neuer Mensch zu werden. Auszug aus dem TextTextprobe:Kapitel 3.2, Tawada Yoko als Autorin der Mehrsprachigkeit:Tawada Yoko ist eine interessante Autorin und Sprachkünstlerin der Migrationsliteratur, die mit ihrer Person und ihrem Œuvre auch spannende Vorurteile aufdeckt. Beispielsweise wurde von ihr, nur weil sie Japanerin ist, automatisch angenommen, dass sie sich mit No-Theater auskennt und alles darüber weiß. Tatsächlich aber war sie in Japan nie hingegangen und hatte sich überhaupt nicht damit beschäftigt. Was sie wohl von ihrem Russischstudium, ihrer Großmutter und ihren Reisen weiß, ist aber, dass die russische Puppe Matrjoschka ursprünglich erst Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts nach alten...
    Abstract: japanischen Vorbildern in Russland hergestellt wurde, was wiederum viele Russen nicht wissen, vielleicht von einer kokeshi, einer schlichten Holzpuppe, die für jedes Kind, das aus Armut getötet werden musste, hergestellt wurde. Die Holzpuppen kokeshi ???wurden zu Beginn des 19. Jahrhunderts in der Tohoku-Region, im Nordosten Japans, dem Zentrum des Onsen-Gebiets, erfunden und waren der Schutz-Talisman der Kinder in Abwesenheit ihrer Eltern, wenn sie nach dem Einbringen der Ernte auf Badekur ins Onsen gingen. Später zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts erreichten von Tokyo aus auch ausgefeilte feine Spielzeuge aus Zelluloid und Blech die Region und dadurch wurden die kokeshi vernachlässigt. Ursprünglich gab es in den verschiedenen Dialekten, die die Kinder benutzten, um die 60 differenzierte Bezeichnungen für die unterschiedlichen Puppensorten. Die Art der Herstellung, die sehr aufwendig ist und lange dauert, wurde immer vom Meister an den Schüler weitergegeben und man musste sehr lange üben, bis man ein gutes Niveau erreichte. Heute werden sie von Sammlern wertgeschätzt wegen ihrer Schönheit der Einfachheit und ihrem aufwendigen Design, doch versteckt sich dahinter eine Geschichte der Armut und des Lebens unter rauen klimatischen Bedingungen. Sobald man ins Ausland geht, ist man sofort Experte über jeden Bereich seiner eigenen Kultur, auch wenn er nicht im eigenen Interessensgebiet liegt, und deren repräsentativer Vertreter und Botschafter, ob man will oder nicht. Dies konnten sicherlich schon viele Reisende, die sich länger im Ausland aufhielten, beobachten und erleben. 'I grew up in Japan, where only Japanese is spoken. Everything else is rather … unbelievable. It´s not like Europe, where you have people, who speak other languages very well…'. Tawada Yoko meint, dass man durchaus mehr Ahnung von der eigenen Kultur hat, als diejenigen, die im Land
    Abstract: geblieben sind, aber auf eine andere Weise. Denn denjenigen, die immer nur im eigenen Land bleiben, oder nur kurz im Ausland sind, fehlt die Perspektive und Reflexion von außen und damit ein entscheidender Blickwinkel auf dem Weg zur Realität und zur Wahrheit des menschlichen Daseins. So schärft auch eine fremde Sprache das Bewusstsein für die eigene Sprache dadurch, dass man sie ganz anders von außen wahrnimmt. Die ritualisierten Handlungen - im Guten wie im Schlechten - fallen meistens den Fremden stärker auf als den Einheimischen, die sie automatisch durchführen, und Übersetzungen der Körpersprache sind noch viel schwieriger als eine Fremdsprache zu sprechen, weil sich das Körpergefühl nicht so schnell umstellen kann. Ein Ritual besteht schließlich aus vielen Körperbewegungen. Tawadas Auseinandersetzung mit Europa und dessen Denkweise und ihre eigens entwickelte 'ethnologische Poetologie', in der sie spielerisch mit Sprachmagie umgeht, erweisen sich als bereichernde Denkherausforderung, im Eigenen das Fremde zu erkennen. Vor allem in der Sprache findet Tawada immer Lücken und Spalten, die auf längst Vergessenes oder nicht Sichtbares hinweisen, mit Hilfe derer sie neue Blickwinkel erschaffen möchte. 'Why do you write, Ms. Yoko Tawada?' - 'This question, of course, is always difficult. You might as well ask: Why do you live?'. Aus der eigenen Mehrsprachigkeit mit all seiner Schwierigkeit kann man Kreativität schöpfen und gewinnen, die Bedeutung und Empfindung der Idee eines einzelnen Wortes und Gegenstands je nach Sprache erweitern und bereichern, und schließlich zu einem neuen, außergewöhnlichen Stil gelangen. 'Seitdem ich auf Deutsch denke, denke ich in Dialogform. Es wird dort geredet, diskutiert, argumentiert, gefragt, geantwortet oder protestiert. Dabei stelle ich mir keinen einzigen Buchstaben bildlich vor'. Manche Gefühle und Empfindungen
    Abstract: oder Ideen von Gegenständen kann man nur in der einen Sprache ausdrücken und nicht in der anderen. Unterschiedliche Sprachen bilden auch andere klangliche und schöpferische Möglichkeiten, die in anderen Sprachen schwer wiedergefunden werden können oder der Klang spielt in einer bestimmten Sprache eine bestimmte Rolle, die er in der anderen nicht spielt. Oder aber in einer Sprache wie dem Japanischen wiederum ist das Visuelle und Bildliche das eigentlich Wichtige und damit auch in der japanischen Kultur wichtiger als in anderen Kulturen wie der deutschen Kultur, in welcher der Klang wichtiger ist als das Visuelle: der Aufbau des Satzes wird plastischer durch das Vorlesen. Die Leute in Japan reden nicht miteinander, sie schauen. Jede Silbe kann aus einem Bild und einer kleinen Bildgeschichte bestehen oder ein Wort kann eine ganze Geschichte beinhalten. Jedes Ideogramm ist Magie und Zauber einer tiefen, geheimnisvollen Geschichte eines Menschen, die dahinter steckt. Damit wird ein japanischer Text zu einer unglaublich reichhaltigen Kulturgeschichte einer Gesellschaft. Für einen Begriff gibt es oft mehrere Möglichkeiten, ihn bildsprachlich zu beschreiben und damit andere Aspekte auszudrücken. In der japanischen Sprache kann es durch die vielen Homophone beim Sprechen und Vorlesen zu mehr Missverständnissen kommen, mit welchen man aber auch spielen kann und sie bewusst hervorrufen. Jede Sprache hat mehrere Möglichkeiten, die zunächst nicht sichtbar sind. Diese Möglichkeiten werden durch eine Fremdsprache sichtbar. Die kulturelle Differenz, die Wahrnehmung der anderen Kultur, lässt uns die Unmöglichkeiten unserer eigenen erkennen. Mehrsprachigkeit kann aber auch zu ungeahnten Schwierigkeiten führen, wie Tawada Yoko es beschreibt, die aber aus wissenschaftlicher Sicht eigentlich wiederum ein Vorteil sind:' … denn immer, wenn ich ganz intensiv an einem
    Abstract: deutschen Text gearbeitet habe, habe ich danach das Gefühl, dass ich gar kein Japanisch mehr kann und umgekehrt auch. … und ich habe diesen Nachteil und dieses Immer-wieder-nicht-Können von Sprache in mein Programm aufgenommen, d.h., ich muss bei jedem Text zurückgehen zu dem Punkt Null, wo man keine Sprache mehr hat, wo man sich nicht mehr ausdrücken kann und überhaupt die Sprache als solche in Frage stellt, …'. Autoren der Migrationsliteratur werden in der Literaturkritik manchmal in vermeintlicher 'Fremdheit' und 'Exotik' wahrgenommen, anstatt dass die inhaltliche und sprachliche Qualität gewürdigt wird. Weiters wird jede Abweichung zur Norm vorschnell und auf arrogante Weise als Fehler wahrgenommen, der sich manchmal in Wahrheit als Einfall von Kreativität und Vielfältigkeit herausstellen soll. Selbst die Kommunikation innerhalb der eigenen Muttersprache gestaltet sich oft schwierig:'Are we certain that we know what our words mean?'. Laut Tawada kann der Mensch die Sprache des Gegenübers nicht verstehen, sondern nur nachahmen, aber gerade durch konzentrierte Nachahmung entsteht ein klares Abbild einer fremden Sprache. Nachdem man genug nachgeahmt hat, wird man in der eigenen Muttersprache blind und ist sich ihrer nicht mehr bewusst. Ein Mensch, der eine fremde Sprache spricht, ist für Tawada Yoko immer zugleich jemand, der die fremde Sprache erforscht und nachahmt, nie aber kopiert, da dies nicht möglich ist. Man ist Betrachter und Betrachteter zugleich. Erst durch das Heraustreten aus alten Gewohnheiten und Selbstverständlichkeiten sehen wir die Welt in einem neuen, anderen Licht und sind der Wirklichkeit ein Stück näher. Betrachtet man die Texte von mehrsprachigen Autoren, so enthüllen ihre Texte und Themen politische und gesellschaftliche Realitäten und bringen neue Kreativität in alte Sprachen. Es findet ein Paradigmenwechsel statt: der

    Abstract: Individuals of all ages interact with one another, and their interactions have significance throughout their lives. This distinctive volume acknowledges the importance of these interactions and provides a life-span developmental view of communication and aging, attempting to capture the many similarities and changes that occur in people's lives as they age. The authors move the study of intergenerational contact closer to the actual participants, examining what happens within intergenerational interactions and how people evaluate their intergenerational experiences. The volume concentrates on the micro-context of the intergenerational interaction and the cognitions, language, and relationship behaviors related to intergenerational communication across the life span. The volume employs the perspective that the understanding of human behavior across the life span is enhanced by studying communicative behavior in intergenerational interaction. The authors integrate research from multiple disciplines concerned with intergenerational communication, which is framed by several unique theoretical perspectives drawn from the communication discipline. As a resource for the study of intergenerational communication across the life span, this monograph offers important insights to scholars, students, and all who are involved in intergenerational communication.

    Abstract: Traditionally, children have been considered from a primarily developmental perspective, in need of education in order to achieve autonomy, growth, and eventually adulthood. Childhood studies have recently underlined an alternate way to look at children, starting from the consideration that children are competent social actors and can actively participate in social life. However, there has been relatively little attention paid to the ways in which adults can actively empower children's agency and participation. This book aims to highlight this important aspect, explaining the position of adults as facilitators and mediators in the process of constructing childhood.

    Abstract: Quincy Jones (b. 1933) is one of the most prolific composers, arrangers, bandleaders, producers, and humanitarians in American music history and the recording and film industries. Among pop music fans he is perhaps most famous for producing Michael Jackson's album, Thriller. Clarence Bernard Henry focuses on the life, music, career, and legacy of Jones within the social, cultural, historical, and artistic context of American, African American, popular, and world music traditions. Jones's career has spanned over sixty years, generating a substantial body of work with over five hundred compositions and arrangements. The author focuses on this material as well as many of Jones's accomplishments: performing as a young trumpeter in the bands of Lionel Hampton and Dizzy Gillespie, becoming the first African American to hold an executive position in the competitive white-owned recording industry, breaking racial barriers as a composer in the Hollywood film and television industries, producing the best-selling album of all time, and receiving numerous Grammy Awards. The author also discusses many of Jones's compositions, arrangements, and recordings and his compositional study in France with legendary teacher Nadia Boulanger. In addition, details are provided about Jones's distinct ability as one of the most innovative composers and arrangers who incorporates many different styles of music, techniques, and creative ideas in his compositions, arrangements, and film scores. He collaborated with an array of musicians and groups such as Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Miles Davis, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Frank Sinatra, Clifford Brown, Ray Charles, Michael Jackson, USA for Africa, and many others. Clarence Bernard Henry shows how Jones has, throughout his career, wholeheartedly embraced philosophies of globalization and cultural diversity in his...

    Abstract: First published in 1957 ,and reprinted with a new introduction in 1986, Michael Young and Peter Willmott's book on family and kinship in Bethnal Green in the 1950s is a classic in urban studies. A standard text in planning, housing, family studies and sociology, it predicted the failure in social terms of the great rehousing campaign which was getting under way in the 1950s. The tall flats built to replace the old 'slum' houses were unpopular. Social networks were broken up. The book had an immediate impact when it appeared - extracts were published in the newspapers, the sales were a record for a report of a sociological study, Government ministers quoted it. But the approach it advocated was not accepted until the late 1960s, and by then it was too late.This Routledge Revivals reissue includes the authors' introduction from the 1986 reissue, reviewing the impact of the book and its ideas thirty years on. They argue that if the lessons implicit in the book had been learned in the 1950s, London and other British cities might not have suffered the 'anomie' and violence manifested in the urban riots of the 1980s.

    Abstract: The landscape of higher education has undergone change and transformation in recent years, partly as a result of diversification and massification. However, persistent patterns of under-representation continue to perplex policy-makers and practitioners, raising questions about current strategies, policies and approaches to widening participation. Presenting a comprehensive review and critique of contemporary widening participation policy and practice, Penny Jane Burke interrogates the underpinning assumptions, values and perspectives shaping current concepts and understandings of widening participation. She draws on a range of perspectives within the field of the sociology of education - including feminist post-structuralism, critical pedagogy and policy sociology - to examine the ways in which wider societal inequalities and misrecognitions, which are related to difference and diversity, present particular challenges for the project to widen participation in higher education. In particular, the book:focuses on the themes of difference and diversity to shed light on the operations of inequalities and the politics of access and participation both in terms of national and institutional policy and at the level of student and practitioner experience. draws on the insights of the sociology of education to consider not only the patterns of under-representation in higher education but also the politics of mis-representation, critiquing key discourses of widening participation. interrogates assumptions behind WP policy and practice, including assumptions about education being an unassailable good provides an analysis of the accounts and perspectives of students, practitioners and policy-makers through in-depth interviews, observations and reflective journal entries. offers insights for future developments in the policy, practice and strategies for...

    DDC: 305.550951
    Abstract: Since the late 1970s, China's move towards neoliberalism has made it not only one of the world's fastest growing economies, but also one of the most polarised states. This economic, social and political transformation has led to the emergence of a new Chinese middle class, and understanding the development and the role of this new social group is crucial to understanding contemporary Chinese society.Investigating the new politics of the middle class in China, this book addresses three major questions. First, how does the Chinese state deal with problems of national sovereignty and political representation to create the middle class both as a legitimate category of the people and as an ideal norm of citizenship? Second, how does the recognition of the middle class norm take place in the practice of everyday life? Finally, what kind of risks does the politics of the middle class generate not only for middle class subjects but also for the disenfranchised? In answering these questions, this book examines a set of practices, bodies of knowledge, measures, and institutions that aim to manage, govern, control, and orient the behaviours, gestures, and thoughts of Chinese citizens. This investigation contributes not only to the understanding of the Chinese middle class society but also to the scholarly debate over the relationship between governmental apparatuses, subjectification, and life-building.Drawing on ethnographic information, historical archives, and the media, this book will be of great interest to students and scholars working in the fields of Chinese studies, Chinese politics, ethnic studies and urban studies, as well as those interested in culture, society, class and welfare.

Among other topics, Mirrlees examines: Paradigms of global entertainment media such as cultural imperialism and cultural globalization.The business of entertainment media: the structure of capitalist culture/creative industries (financers, producers, distributors and exhibitors) and trends in the global political economy of entertainment media.The "governance" of global entertainment media: state and inter-state media and cultural policies and regulations that govern the production, distribution and exhibition of entertainment media and enable or impede its cross-border flow.The new international division of cultural labor (NICL): the cross-border production of entertainment by cultural workers in asymmetrically interdependent media capitals, and economic and cultural concerns surrounding runaway productions and co-productions. The economic motivations and textual design features of globally popular entertainment forms such as blockbuster event films, TV formats, glocalized lifestyle brands and synergistic media.The cross-cultural reception and effects of TV shows and films.The World Wide Web, digitization and convergence culture.

    Abstract: Lesbians and gays have gone from "coming out," to "acting up," to "outing," meanwhile radically redefining society's views on sexuality and gender. The essays in Inside/Out employ a variety of approaches (psychoanalysis, deconstruction, semiotics, and discourse theory) to investigate representations of sex and sexual difference in literature, film, video, music, and photography. Engaging the figures of divas, dykes, vampires and queens, the contributors address issues such as AIDS, pornography, pedagogy, authorship, and activism. Inside/Out shifts the focus from sex to sexual orientation, provoking a reconsideration of the concepts of the sexual and the political.

    Abstract: As tensions remain on the Korean peninsula, this book looks back on the decade of improved inter-Korean relations and engagement between 1998 and 2008, now known as the 'Sunshine Policy' era. Moving beyond traditional economic and political perspectives, it explores how this decade of intensified cooperation both affected and reshaped existing physical, social and mental boundaries between the two Koreas, and how this 'de-bordering' and 're-bordering' has changed the respective attitudes towards the other. Based around three key themes, 'Space', 'People', and 'Representations', this book looks at the tangible and intangible areas of contact created by North-South engagement during the years of the Sunshine Policy. 'Space' focuses on the border regions and discusses how the border reflects the dynamics of multiple types of exchanges and connections between the two Koreas, as well as the new territorial structures these have created. 'People' addresses issues in human interactions and social organizations, looking at North Korean defectors in the South, shifting patterns of North-South competition in the 'Korean' diaspora of post-Soviet Central Asia, and the actual and physical presence of the Other in various social settings. Finally, 'Representations' analyses the image of the other Korea as it is produced, circulated, altered/falsified and received (or not) on either side of the Korean border.The contributors to this volume draw on a broad spectrum of disciplines ranging from geography, anthropology and archaeology, to media studies, history and sociology, in order to show how the division between North and South Korea functions as an essential matrix for geographical, social and psychological structures on both sides of the border. As such, this book will appeal to students and scholars from numerous fields of study, including Korean studies,...

    Abstract: In the current world disorder, security is on everyone's lips. But what is security from a cross-cultural perspective? How is it imagined and experienced by people on the ground? Crucially, what visions of the future are at stake in people's potentially divergent concerns with security: what, and when, is the time of security? Exploring diverse notions and experiences of time involved in security practices across the globe, this volume brings together a selection of international scholars who conduct ethnographic research in a broad ambit of securitized contexts - from the experience of Palestinian detainees in Israel or forms of popular violence in Bolivia, to efforts to normalize social relations in post-conflict Yugoslavia and ways of imagining threat in left-radical protest movements in Northern Europe. Interrogating recent debates about the role of "securitization" in contemporary politics, the book paves the way for novel forms of security analysis at the crossroads between anthropology and political science, focusing on the comparative study of the temporalities of securitization in a multi-polar world. Offering a pioneering synthesis, the book will be of interest not only to anthropologists, but also to students and scholars in political science and the growing field of Security Studies in International Relations.

    Abstract: This book presents a new framing of policy debates on the question of racism through a discursive critique of contemporary issues and contexts, drawing on a program of new European research carried out between 2010 and 2013, with a central focus on the UK. This includes analysis of the discursive construction of Muslims in three contexts: the workplace, education and the media. Informed by a fundamental critique of both the "post-racial" and the limitations of human rights strategies, it identifies the ongoing significance of contemporary raciality in governance strategies and develops a new radical agenda for addressing these processes, advocating strategies of "racism reduction.".

    Abstract: The first part of this book assesses how television presents viewers with information - contrasting the 'official reality' of news and current affairs programmes with the anarchic view of the world put out by such as Morecambe and Wise and the two Ronnies. It challenges the politics of programme schedules and takes care to consider the language used in programs designed for different purposes.The second, inspiring part contains accounts of three of the author's collaborative video projects which aimed to use the medium of video storytelling to access a different way of teaching. The third and most polemical part of the book explores more about education in relation to television and video. Originally published in 1981, it is a book about the way that television, through massive and constant reinforcement, made its own language the only language; and it presents the attempts - instructive, hilarious, occasionally quite touching - made by the author and students to discover other possible languages that television might use.

    Abstract: How can human communities sustain a long-term existence on a small planet? This challenge grows ever more urgent as the threat of global warming increases.Planning for Sustainability presents a wide-ranging, intellectually well-grounded and accessible introduction to the concept of planning for more sustainable and livable communities. The text explores topics such as how more compact and walkable cities and towns might be created, how local ecosystems can be restored, how social inequalities might be reduced, how greenhouse gas emissions might be lowered, and how more sustainable forms of economic development can be brought about. The second edition has been extensively revised and updated throughout, including an improved structure with chapters now organized under three sections: the nature of sustainable planning, issues central to sustainable planning, and scales of sustainable planning. New material includes greater discussion of climate change, urban food systems, the relationships between public health and the urban environment, and international development. Building on past schools of planning theory, Planning for Sustainability lays out a sustainability planning framework that pays special attention to the rapidly evolving institutions and power structures of a globalizing world. By considering in turn each scale of planning-international, national, regional, municipal, neighborhood, and site and building-the book illustrates how sustainability initiatives at different levels can interrelate. Only by weaving together planning initiatives and institutions at different scales, and by integrating efforts across disciplines, can we move towards long-term human and ecological well-being.

    Abstract: Sport, physical activity and play are key constituents of social life, impacting such diverse fields as healthcare, education and criminal justice. Over the past decade, governments around the world have begun to place physical activity at the heart of social policy, providing increased opportunities for participation for young people. This groundbreaking text explores the various ways in which young people experience sport, physical activity and play as part of their everyday lives, and the interventions and outcomes that shape and define those experiences.The book covers a range of different sporting and physical activities across an array of social contexts, providing insight into the way in which sport, physical activity and play are interpreted by young people and how these interpretations relate to broader policy objectives set by governments, sporting organisations and other NGOs. In the process, it attempts to answer a series of key questions including: How has sport policy developed over the last decade?How do such policy developments reflect changes at the broader political level? How have young people experienced these changes in and through their sporting lives? By firmly locating sport, physical activity and play within the context of recent policy developments, and exploring the moral and ethical dimensions of sports participation, the book fills a significant gap in the sport studies literature. It is an important reference for students and scholars from a wide-range of sub-disciplines, including sports pedagogy, sports development, sport and leisure management, sports coaching, physical education, play and playwork, and health studies.

    Abstract: This perceptive book studies the Victorian woman in the home and in the family. One of the central purposes is to rescue Victorian woman from the realm of myth where her life was spent in frivolous trifles and instead to show how she had a major part to play in the practical management of the home. The author makes judicious use of domestic manuals and other material written specifically for middle-class women. With statistical data to quantify the image as well, this book presents a better understanding of what it was like to be a middle-class woman in nineteenth-century England. Looking at the middle-class woman's problems as mistress of the house, her problems with domestics, her problems as mother and her problems as woman we can begin not merely to characterise the middle-class woman but to define her as an element of British social history and as a silent but significant agent of change.The book was first published in 1975.

    Abstract: Hauptbeschreibung Das Verhältnis zwischen Wissenschaft, Medien und Öffentlichkeit ist durch ein vielfältiges Beziehungsgeflecht gekennzeichnet. Die Massenmedien sind hierbei nicht als bloße Mittler anzusehen, die beliebig steuerbare Inhalte kanalisieren. Im Gegenteil: Sie verfügen über eigene Konstruktionskriterien, mit denen unter anderem so genannte kulturelle Bilder und Vorstellungsräume erzeugt und verfestigt werden. Jene Bilder stehen weniger für eine nüchterne Betrachtung der Wissenschaftssphäre, sondern vielmehr für die Ängste und Sorgen, aber auch Hoffnungen, die die Öffentlichkeit seit jeher mit Wissenschaft verbindet. So ist auch die beachtliche Widersprüchlichkeit zwischen der Eigenwahrnehmung von Wissenschaftlern und den kulturellen Bildern, die medial an ein Massenpublikum verbreitet werden, zu erklären. So wird der Wissenschaftler häufig entweder als böser und verrückter Mann, als tollkühner Abenteurer oder zerstreuter Professor inszeniert. Die vorliegende Studie ergründet die Langlebigkeit dieser Stereotype am Beispiel von Science-Fiction-Frühwerken des 19. Jahrhunderts. Die Klassiker 'Frankenstein' von Mary Shelley, 'Die Reise zum Mittelpunkt der Erde' von Jules Verne, 'Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde' von Robert Louis Stevenson und 'The Island of Doctor Moreau' von George Wells werden detailliert bezüglich der literarischen Darstellung des Wissenschaftlers und der Wissenschaft analysiert. Theoretischer Bezugsrahmen dieser qualitativen Untersuchung ist das Feld der Wissenschaftskommunikation.

    Abstract: Peace through tourism refers to a body of analysis which suggests tourism may contribute to cross-cultural understanding, tolerance and even peace between communities and nations. What has been largely missing to date is a sustained critique of the potential and capacities of tourism to foster global peace.This timely volume fills this void, by providing a critical look at tourism in order to ascertain its potential as a social force to promote human rights, justice and peace. It presents an alternative characterisation of the possibilities for peace through tourism: embedding an understanding of the phenomenon in a deep grounding in multi-disciplinary perspectives and envisioning tourism in the context of human rights, social justice and ecological integrity. Such an approach engages the ambivalence and dichotomy of views held on peace tourism by relying on a pedagogy of peace. It integrates a range of perspectives from scholars from many disciplinary backgrounds, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), tourism industry operators and community, all united by an interest in critical approaches to understanding peace through tourism. Additionally diverse geo-political contexts are represented in this book from the USA, India, Japan, Israel, Palestine, Kenya, the Koreas, Indonesia, East Timor and Indigenous Australia. Written by leading academics, this groundbreaking book will provide students, researchers and academics a sustained critique of the potential and capacities of tourism to foster global peace.

    Abstract: The Linguistics of Newswriting focuses on text production in journalistic media as both a socially relevant field of language use and as a strategic field of applied linguistics. The book discusses and paves the way for scientific projects in the emerg­ing field of linguistics of newswriting. From empirical micro and theoretical macro perspectives, strategies and practices of research development and knowledge transformation are discussed. Thus, the book is addressed to researchers, teachers and coaches interested in the linguistics of professional writing in general and news­writing in particular. Together with the training materials provided on the internet www.news-writing.net, the book will also be useful to anyone who wants to become a more "discerning consumer" (Perry, 2005) or a more reflective producer of language in the media.

    Abstract: Praise for the first edition:'It is difficult to imagine another book in which one could find all this diverse material, and no doubt Amt's collection, in its richness, and in its genuine clarity and simplicity will takes prominent place in our expanded, diversified medieval curriculum, a curriculum that takes class, gender, and ethnicity as central to an understanding of world cultural history.' - The Medieval ReviewLong considered to be a definitive and truly groundbreaking collection of sources, Women's Lives in Medieval Europe uniquely presents the everyday lives and experiences of women in the Middle Ages. This indispensible text has now been thoroughly updated and expanded to reflect new research, and includes previously unavailable source material.This new edition includes expanded sections on marriage and sexuality, and on peasant women and townswomen, as well as a new section on women and the law. There are brief introductions both to the period and to the individual documents, study questions to accompany each reading, a glossary of terms and a fully updated bibliography. Working within a multi-cultural framework, the book focuses not just on the Christian majority, but also present material about women in minority groups in Europe, such as Jews, Muslims, and those considered to be heretics. Incorporating both the laws, regulations and religious texts that shaped the way women lived their lives, and personal narratives by and about medieval women, the book is unique in examining women's lives through the lens of daily activities, and in doing so as far as possible through the voices of women themselves.
