    Abstract: Das Bild schweigt still. Seine Visualität verweigert sich der Sprache, es ist nicht übersetzbar. Ungeachtet dessen werden Bilder in der Praxis immer wieder sprachlich erschlossen, verhandelt und tradiert: als Abbilder, epistemische Objekte - oder als Kunstwerke. Ausgehend von dieser theoretisch viel diskutierten Diskrepanz untersucht das Buch Audioguides in Kunstausstellungen erstmals aus soziologischer Perspektive: Richter über Kunst und Nicht-Kunst und Grenzgänger zwischen Wahrnehmung und Kommunikation, Subjekt und Objekt, visuellem und sprachlichem Wissen, lösen sie das Problem der Bildbeschreibung praktisch, brechen das Schweigen des Bildes und bringen es - als sozial und sinnhaft strukturiert - zum Sprechen. Biographical note: Kathrin Popp (Dipl.-Soz.) arbeitet als Lektorin mit den Schwerpunkten Soziologie sowie Medien-, Bild- und Kunstwissenschaften in Bielefeld.

    Abstract: Sex, or the Unbearable is a dialogue between Lauren Berlant and Lee Edelman, two of our leading theorists of sexuality, politics, and culture. In juxtaposing sex and the unbearable they don't propose that sex is unbearable, only that it unleashes unbearable contradictions that we nonetheless struggle to bear. In Berlant and Edelman's exchange, those terms invoke disturbances produced in encounters with others, ourselves, and the world, disturbances that tap into threats induced by fears of loss or rupture as well as by our hopes for repair. Through virtuoso interpretations of works of cinema

    Abstract: Critical Race Theory has become a dynamic, eclectic, and growing movement in the study of law. With this third edition of Critical Race Theory, editors Richard Delgado and Jean Stefancic have created a reader for the twenty-first century-one that shakes up the legal academy, questions comfortable liberal premises, and leads the search for new ways of thinking about our nation's most intractable, and insoluble, problem-race. The contributions, from a stellar roster of established and emerging scholars, address new topics, such as intersectionality and black men on the ""down

    Abstract: Laura Sjoberg positions gender and gender subordination as key factors in the making and fighting of global conflict. Through the lens ofgender, she examines the meaning, causes, practices, and experiences of war, building a more inclusive approach to the analysis of violent conflict between states. Considering war at the international, state, substate, and individual levels, Sjoberg's feminist perspective gives a number of causal variables significant standing in war decision-making. These include structural gender inequality, cycles of gendered violence, state masculine posturing

    Abstract: Zwei Generationen nach dem Ende des Nationalsozialismus ist die Gedenkstättenpädagogik ein Arbeitsfeld, das sich etabliert hat. Die Professionalisierung und der Abschied von den Zeitzeug(inn)en lenken die Aufmerksamkeit auf die vielfältigen pädagogischen und psychologischen Fragen, die die Mitarbeiter(innen) bei ihrer Arbeit zu berücksichtigen haben und die bisher nicht zusammengefasst worden sind. Da das Wissen, das durch NS-Gedenkstätten vermittelt wird, tief verunsichernd ist, braucht pädagogische Vermittlung an diesen Orten Orientierung - für Besucher(innen) und Mitarbeiter(innen) von Gedenkstätten gleichermaßen. Um den verschiedenen Funktionen von Gedenkstätten im Spannungsfeld zwischen Wissensvermittlung und Gedenken gerecht zu werden, ist eine Neuverständigung über realistische Ziele und zeitgemäße Methoden nötig. Im Rahmen des Bundesmodellprojekts "Gedenkstättenpädagogik und Gegenwartsbezug - Selbstverständigung und Konzeptentwicklung" haben Pädagog(inn)en aus 12 Gedenkstätten in Deutschland, Österreich und Polen ein Berufsbild Gedenkstättenpädagogik entwickelt. Ein Praxisteil mit Übungen zur Selbstreflexion zeigt auf, wie Qualifizierung und Weiterbildung in diesem Arbeitsfeld aussehen kann. Die Herausgeber(innen): Barbara Thimm, Kulturpädagogin, langjährig in der historisch-politischen Bildung und Gedenkstättenpädagogik tätig; Projektleitung Bundesmodellprojekt "Gedenkstättenpädagogik und Gegenwartsbezug" (2007-2010); Supervisorin (in Ausbildung) Gottfried Kößler, Lehrer für Geschichte, Deutsch und Politik; stellvertretender Direktor des Fritz Bauer Instituts und Mitarbeiter im Pädagogischen Zentrum des Fritz Bauer Instituts und des Jüdischen Museums Frankfurt am Main Susanne Ulrich, Leiterin der Akademie Führung Kompetenz am Centrum für angewandte Politikforschung (Universität München). Arbeitsschwerpunkte: Toleranz- und Demokratie-Lernen, Konflikt- und Diversitymanagement, Coaching und Praxisberatung

    Abstract: Segen oder Teufelswerk? Ist die Globalisierung für den beispiellosen Anstieg von Ungleichheit in der Welt verantwortlich? Verweist sie alle Hoffnungen auf soziale Gerechtigkeit ins Reich der Utopie? Kaum eine Debatte wird so erhitzt geführt wie jene um die Globalisierung. Das Verhältnis von Ungleichheit und Globalisierung muss in der doppelten Perspektive - national und international - betrachtet werden, um in seiner Komplexität begreifbar zu werden. So steht dem Anstieg nationaler Ungleichheit paradoxerweise eine Abnahme globaler Ungleichheit gegenüber. Bourguignon, ehemaliger Chefökonom der Weltbank, analysiert diese antagonistischen Effekte der Globalisierung. Mit Blick auf die Schwellenländer ist die Ungleichheit im Weltvergleich geringer geworden: Der Lebensstandard in Brasilien, China oder Indien nähert sich langsam demjenigen der Nordamerikaner und Europäer an. Binnenstaatlich betrachtet sind die Ungleichheiten jedoch in einer nicht geringen Anzahl der Länder eklatant geworden, was zu sozialen Spannungen führen musste. Ohne neue Marktregularien, einer steuerlich indizierten Umverteilung und Gehaltsobergrenzen wird die zunehmende Ungleichheit nicht einzudämmen sein. Bourguignon beschreibt das Instrumentarium, das den nationalen wie internationalen Entscheidungsträgern zur Verfügung steht, um eine an Gerechtigkeitsmaßstäben ausgerichtete Verteilungspolitik zu verwirklichen. Wer heute zunehmende Globalisierung der Ungleichheit verhindern will, muss für eine Globalisierung der Umverteilung eintreten. François Bourguignon ist Professor an der École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales in Paris. Von 2003 bis 2007 war er Chefökonom der Weltbank und bis Januar 2013 Direktor der École d´Économie in Paris.

    Abstract: The response of states to demands for free exercise of religion or belief varies greatly across the world. In some places, religions come as close as imaginable to autonomous existences with little interference from government. In other cases religion finds itself grinding out a meagre living, if at all, under the jealously watchful eye of the state.This book provides a legal and normative overview of the variety of responses to minority religions available to states. Exploring case studies ranging from Islamic regions such as Indonesia, Pakistan, and the wider Middle East, to Western Europe, Eastern Europe, China, Russia, Canada, and the Baltics, contributors include international scholars and experts in law, sociology, religious studies, and political science. This book offers invaluable perspectives on how minority religions are currently being received, reviewed, challenged, or ignored in different parts of the world.--Publisher's website

Wie konnte sich diese Entwicklung in einem Land vollziehen, in dem die uneingeschränkte Herrschaft der Kommunistischen Partei gilt? Tobias ten Brink untersucht die politische Ökonomie Chinas erstmals systematisch anhand von Erkenntnissen aus der vergleichenden und internationalen Kapitalismusforschung. Seine Analyse der Dynamiken dieses eigentümlichen Wirtschaftstyps zeigt zudem, dass der chinesische Kapitalismus eine paradoxale

    Abstract: Main description: Kulturtheoretische Versuche, ein Zusammenleben in Frieden und Differenz programmatisch zu fassen, spielen im begonnenen 21. Jahrhundert eine entscheidende Rolle. Als aufschlussreich stellen sich hierbei die Konzepte der »Kreolisierung« und des »Tout-monde« des karibischen Romanciers Édouard Glissant oder die »Coolitude« des aus Mauritius stammenden Dichters Khal Torabully dar. Sie verweisen auf multiethnische Gesellschaften kolonialen Ursprungs und formulieren eine prominente - in Deutschland aber bislang kaum wahrgenommene - postkoloniale Kulturkritik der Globalisierung und Moderne. Die Beiträge in diesem Band, u.a. von Ottmar Ette, Françoise Vergès und Khal Torabully, prüfen die Anschlussfähigkeit von historischen und aktuellen Kreolisierungsprozessen für internationale und europäische Debatten.

    Abstract: The tradition of the veil, which refers to various cloth coverings of the head, face, and body, has been little studied in Africa, where Islam has been present for more than a thousand years. These lively essays raise questions about what is distinctive about veiling in Africa, what religious histories or practices are reflected in particular uses of the veil, and how styles of veils have changed in response to contemporary events. Together, they explore the diversity of meanings and experiences with the veil, revealing it as both an object of Muslim piety and an expression of glamorous fas

    Abstract: Modest dressing, both secular and religious, is a growing trend across the world, yet so far it has been given little serious attention and is rarely seen as fashion. Modest Fashion uniquely studies and addresses both the consumers and the producers of modest clothing. It examines the growing number of women who, for reasons of religion, faith or personal preference, decide to cover their bodies and dress in a way that satisfies their spiritual and stylistic requirements. These are women who are making fashionable the art of dressing modestly. Scholars and journalists, fashion designers a

    Abstract: While Indigenous media have gained increasing prominence around the world, the vibrant Aboriginal media world on the Canadian West Coast has received little scholarly attention. As the first ethnography of the Aboriginal media community in Vancouver, Sovereign Screens reveals the various social forces shaping Aboriginal media production including community media organizations and avant-garde art centers, as well as the national spaces of cultural policy and media institutions. Kristin L. Dowell uses the concept of visual sovereignty to examine the practices, forms, and meanings through which A

    Abstract: News media and pundits too frequently perpetuate the notion that Latinos, particularly Mexicans, are an invading force bent on reconquering land once their own and destroying the American way of life. In this book, Leo R. Chavez contests this assumption's basic tenets, offering facts to counter the many fictions about the "Latino threat." With new discussion about anchor babies, the DREAM Act, and recent anti-immigrant legislation in Arizona and other states, this expanded second edition critically investigates the stories about recent immigrants to show how prejudices are used to malign an entire population--and to define what it means to be American
    Abstract: Part 1. Constructing and challenging myths.

    Abstract: "This book is an ethnographic witness to the everyday lives and suffering of Mexican migrants. Based on 5 years of research in the field (including berry-picking and traveling with migrants back and forth from Oaxaca up the West Coast), Holmes, an anthropologist and MD in the mold of Paul Farmer and Didier Fassin, uncovers how market forces, anti-immigrant sentiment, and racism undermine health and health care. Holmes' material is visceral and powerful-for instance, he trekked with his informants illegally through the desert border into Arizona, where they were apprehended and jailed by the Border Patrol. After he was released from jail (and his companions were deported back to Mexico), Holmes interviewed Border Patrol agents, local residents, and armed vigilantes in the borderlands. He lived with indigenous Mexican families in the mountains of Oaxaca and in farm labor camps in the United States, planted and harvested corn, picked strawberries, accompanied sick workers to clinics and hospitals, participated in healing rituals, and mourned at funerals for friends. The result is a "thick description" that conveys the full measure of struggle, suffering, and resilience of these farmworkers. Fresh Fruit, Broken Bodies weds the theoretical analysis of the anthropologist with the intimacy of the journalist to provide a compelling examination of structural and symbolic violence, medicalization, and the clinical gaze as they affect the experiences and perceptions of a vertical slice of indigenous Mexican migrant farmworkers, farm owners, doctors, and nurses. This reflexive, embodied anthropology deepens our theoretical understanding of the ways in which socially structured suffering comes to be perceived as normal and natural in society and in health care, especially through imputations of ethnic body difference. In the vehement debates on immigration reform and health reform, this book provides the necessary stories of real people and insights into our food system and health care system for us to move forward to fair policies and solutions."--Publisher information

    Abstract: Cowinner of the Society for Linguistic Anthropology?s Edward Sapir Book PrizeSince the early 1990s hundreds of thousands of Tamil villagers in southern India have participated in literacy lessons and other events designed to transform them into active citizens with access to state power. These efforts are part of a movement known as the Arivoli Iyakkam (the Enlightenment Movement), one of the most successful mass literacy movements in recent history. This rich ethnographic account of highlights the paradoxes inherent in such movements that seek to emancipate people through literacy.?A work of linguistic anthropology that makes crucial contributions to the study of literacy and language ideologies. It is also a broadly ranging work of social theory that will be of interest to students and scholars of the postcolonial state and neoliberal governmentality in South Asia and beyond, and of activism and social movements more generally.??Anthropological Quarterly

Johannes Dillinger erklärt, wie Hexenprozesse mit Kindern im Zentrum entstanden und welche Rolle sie während der großen Hexenjagden spielten. Ausführlich geht er auf Fallbeispiele aus ganz verschiedenen Regionen ein. In Hexenprozessen traten Schulkinder, Pfarrerssöhne und Mädchen 'aus bestem Hause' ebenso auf wie vernachlässigte Waisen, Straßenkinder und minderjährige Kriminelle.Die Schilderung all ihrer Fälle fördert Details zu Tage, die heute grotesk anmuten. Dillinger ordnet die Geschichten in den historischen Kontext ein: Für ihn stehen die Kinder an der Schnittstelle von Erziehung und Magie. Ihre Geschichten zeigen die Wandlungen im Verhältnis von Kindern, Eltern und Schule. Zugleich fügen sie sich ein in eine umfassende Weltsicht, für die die Wirksamkeit von Zauber, die Existenz des Teufels und vieler Geister selbstverständlich war. Johannes Dillinger unterrichtet als Universitätsdozent für Geschichte in Oxford und Mainz. Sein Spezialgebiet bildet die Geschichte der Vormoderne und die vergleichende Regionalgeschichte. Sein besonderes Interesse gilt dabei der Verfassungsgeschichte, der Geschichte der Bauern, der politischen Kriminalität, der Alltagsreligion und allen Aspekten der Geschichte der Magie. Dillinger ist anerkannt als einer der besten Kenner der Hexenprozesse.

    Abstract: "Looking at the social, political and legal changes in Oman since 1970, this book challenges the Islamic and tribal traditional cultural norms relating to marriage, divorce and women's rights which guide social and legal practice in the modern Omani state. The book argues that despite the establishment of legal instruments guaranteeing equality for all citizens, the fact that the state depends upon Islamic and tribal elites for its legitimacy invalidates these guarantees in practice. Two particular features of the legal and cultural regulation of marriage and marital rights are focused on--the perceived requirement for kafa'a or equality in marriage between so called high and low socio-economic status peoples is examined, and the institution of talaq, which grants greater rights to men than to women in appeals for divorce. This book addresses highly complex subjects with great rigor, in terms of empirical research and engagement with theory, sociological and political as well as theological and legal. It is an interesting investigation of the divisions of authority between the state, Islam and tribal norms, highlighting barriers to reform in both Oman and wider Islamic society, and advocating the removal of such obstacles"--

While many scholars have written about the "racetalk" of whites, few have succeeded in bridging both the theoretical and methodological gaps between whiteness scholars and discourse analysts. The book presents evidence that these white Americans are "bureaucrats of whiteness" in that they defend the racial status quo through their discourse. 〈/s

    Abstract: This book engages the notion of cosmopolitanism as it applies to intercultural communication, which itself is undergoing a turn in its focus from post-positivistic research towards critical/interpretive and postcolonial perspectives, particularly as globalization informs more of the current and future research in the area. It emphasizes the postcolonial perspective in order to raise critical consciousness about the complexities of intercultural communication in a globalizing world, situating cosmopolitanism-the notion of global citizenship-as a multilayered lens for research.

    Description / Table of Contents: "Cristian Vaccari presents an analysis of seven advanced Western democracies' digital politics-US, UK, Australia, Germany, Italy, Spain, and France-from 2006 to 2010. Examining the presentation and consumption of website politics, his study not only refutes claims that the web creates homogenized American-style politics and political interaction but also empirically reveals how a nation's unique constraints and opportunities create unique digital responses. This first large scale, comparative treatment of both the supply and demand sides of digital politics among different national political actors is divided into four parts: research methodology and theoretical challenges; how parties and candidates structure their websites (supply); how citizens use websites to access campaign information (demand); and then ties the research results back into his theoretical framework. Because a key aspect of any political system is how political actors communicate, this book will be invaluable for scholars, students, and practitioners interested in political communication, party competition, party organization, political participation, and the study of contemporary media landscapes writ large"--

    Note: Online-Ausg. 2014 erschienen , Long description: Wie ist es um das Verhältnis zwischen modernem Massentourismus und den unterschiedlichen Spielarten von »Kulturerbe« bestellt? Wo Einheimische und Touristen aufeinandertreffen, verändern materielles wie immaterielles Kulturerbe - ja oft sogar Ethnizität und sozio-kulturelle Identität - ihre Ausdrucksformen und Bedeutungsinhalte. Vielfach entsteht Kulturerbe - oder das, was als solches verstanden und (an-)erkannt wird - in der touristischen Arena erst neu. Das Hauptinteresse des Buchs gilt dieser generativen Dynamik, in der Kulturerbe selektiert, präsentiert, produziert und kommodifiziert wird.; Biographical note: Burkhard Schnepel ist Professor für Ethnologie und Direktor des Zentrums für Interdisziplinäre Regionalstudien an der Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg. Neben Tourismus und Kulturerbe gilt sein Forschungsinteresse u.a. dem Indischen Ozean, Ritualen, sowie dem sakralen Königtum. Felix Girke ist Ethnologe und arbeitet als Forschungskoordinator am Zentrum für Interdisziplinäre Regionalstudien an der Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg. Er forscht zu Südäthiopien und Myanmar. Eva-Maria Knoll ist wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin am Institut für Sozialanthropologie der Österreichischen Akademie der Wissenschaften und arbeitet zu Tourismus und medizinischer Mobilität in der Republik Malediven , Review quote: »Wer sich als TourismuswissenschaftlerIn versteht und erfahren möchte, was als Kulturerbe "verstanden" wird, der/die kommt an diesem Werk nicht vorbei.

    Abstract: Culture does not underpin society, as the notion of »cultural roots« suggest. Culture, according to Walter Benjamin, has always been an expression of dominance.Considering the example of the Berlin Conference, during which representatives from European politics and civil society discussed »Europe's soul«, Lars Alberth works out from a discourse analytical perspective which partisan narratives of European culture are developed, against which non-European outsiders these are directed, and who is thereby recognized as a part of Europe or systematically excluded and forgotten
    Abstract: Kultur ist kein gesellschaftliches Fundament, wie es etwa die Vorstellung »kultureller Wurzeln« nahelegt. Kultur ist, folgt man Walter Benjamin, stets auch Ausdruck von Herrschaft.Am Beispiel der »Berliner Konferenz«, auf der Vertreter europäischer Politik und Zivilgesellschaft über »Europas Seele« diskutierten, erarbeitet Lars Alberth diskursanalytisch, welche interessengebundenen Erzählungen europäischer Kultur entwickelt werden, gegen welches nicht-europäische Außen sich diese richten und wer dabei als Teil von Europa sichtbar bzw. wer systematisch davon ausgeschlossen und vergessen wird

    Abstract: Der Dominanzverlust weißer Männer, so begrüßenswert er ist, birgt Sprengstoff. Dazu gehört die Versuchung, Dezentrierung mit Marginalisierung und Privilegienabbau mit Diskriminierung zu verwechseln und sich am Ende als »Opfer der Opfer« zu bemitleiden. Die Attentate von Anders Breivik haben Gefahren einer sich bedroht fühlenden Männlichkeit sichtbar gemacht. Die Selbstreflexion weißer Männer ist seither überfällig. Sie ist aber auch heikel. Als Privilegierte können sie sich nicht in gleicher Weise thematisieren wie jene, die sich an die Ränder einer von ihnen beherrschten Welt verwiesen sehen. Die Freilegung des Dilemmas, in dem sich weiße Männer heute befinden, eröffnet einen Ausweg jenseits von Selbstmitleid und Selbstüberhebung.
    Abstract: Review text: »Der Autor warnt vor der Versuchung weißer Männer, Privilegienabbau mit Diskriminierung zu verwechseln und sich selbst als Opfer zu stilisieren.« Nina May, Märkische Allgemeine Zeitung, 02./03.11.2013/www.lvz-online.de, 01.11.2013/www.haz.de, 01.11.2013
    Abstract: The decline in white male dominance, as desirable as it may be, holds explosive potential. This includes the temptation to confuse decentralization with marginalization and privilege reduction with discrimination, and ultimately to pity oneself as a 〉〉victim of victims〈〈. The attacks of Anders Breivik have exposed the dangers of a masculinity that feels threatened. The self-reflexion of white men is overdue ever since. But it is also a delicate matter. As the privileged ones, they cannot address issues in the same way as those who find themselves pushed to the edges of the world they dominate. Exposing the dilemma in which white men are caught today opens an exit route beyond self pity and hubris.

    Abstract: Main description: Wieso mögen wir, was wir essen? Wer lädt was auf seinen Teller und aus welchem Grund? Wie bildet und verändert sich Geschmack im Lebenslauf und welche Rolle spielen Lebensabschnitte in der Ernährungssozialisation? - Das sind Fragen, auf die Simon Reitmeier Antworten sucht. Auch der Zeitgeist der Ernährung wird hinterfragt: Ist der gute und nachhaltige Genuss eine moralische Wende in der Ernährungskultur oder doch nur Distinktionsmittel einer privilegierten Elite? Das Buch spricht nicht nur Akademiker an, sondern jeden, der ein Interesse daran hat, den Themenkomplex Ernährung zu durchleuchten und besser zu verstehen
    Abstract: Review text: »Das Buch ist eine Fundgrube ernährungssoziologischer Theorien, politisch wichtig und gerade für Multiplikatoren/-innen der Ernährungsberatung, -bildung und -aufklärung lehr- und aufschlussreich.« Sabine Schmidt, Ernährungs Umschau, 10 (2013) »Wie sich die Sozialisation der Ernährung in den verschiedenen Lebensphasen gestaltet und auswirkt, darauf gibt dieses Buch Antworten aus verschiedensten Blickwinkeln.« Slow Food, 21/4 (2013) »Die von Reitmeier vorgelegte Dissertation ist sehr gut lesbar, hochinformativ und breit angelegt. Sie ist jedem, der sich erstmals mit der Thematik der Ernährung und deren gesellschaftlichen Einflüssen beschäftigt zu empfehlen.« Steffen Großkopf, www.socialnet.de, 09.12.2013

    Note: Biographical note: Thomas Alkemeyer (Prof. Dr. phil.) lehrt Soziologie, Sportsoziologie und Kulturwissenschaft an der Carl von Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg. Seine Forschungsschwerpunkte sind soziologische Praxistheorien, die Soziologie des Körpers und des Sports, Genealogien der Gegenwart sowie die kultursoziologische Subjektivierungsforschung.

Ihre Forschungsschwerpunkte sind das europäische Bürgertum, DDR, Bildungsgeschichte, Musikgeschichte und neue Politikgeschichte. Dagmar Freist (Prof. Dr. phil.) lehrt Europäische Geschichte der Frühen Neuzeit an der Carl von Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg. Ihre Forschungsschwerpunkte sind Öffentlichkeit und politische Kultur, religiöse Pluralisierung, Netzwerkforschung und Kulturtransfer sowie Praktiken der Subjektivierung in historischer und transkultureller Perspektive. - Main description: Was »macht« ein Subjekt? Die Doppeldeutigkeit dieser praxistheoretischen Frage ist beabsichtigt: Mit dem Subjekt wird etwas getan - aber es wird auch selbst aktiv. Indem es eine kulturelle Subjektform verkörpert, wird es nicht nur als zurechnungsfähiger Akteur anerkennbar, sondern beeinflusst auch seine Umgebung. Mit dem Begriffspaar »Selbst-Bildung« und »Subjektivierung« gerät somit zugleich das spannungsvolle Ineinander von Doing Subject und Doing Culture in den Blick. Die geistes- und gesellschaftswissenschaftlichen Beiträge dieses Bands eint das Anliegen, kulturelle Spielräume der Subjektivierung unabhängig von gängigen historischen Epocheneinteilungen auszuloten

Diese Relation zu verstehen ist Voraussetzung für das Schaffen und den Erhalt attraktiver Städte. Sandra Maria Geschke unterzieht jenes Verhältnis von Raumbildung und Menschwerdung einer transdisziplinären Betrachtung, überführt es in eine Topologie ganzheitlichen Wohnens und entschlüsselt es medienanalytisch über die Verknüpfung mit narrativen Figuren. Dabei zeigt sich, wie ein gelungenes »Doing (Urban) Space« erfolgen kann: konfigurativ zwischen Verwurzeln und Beflügeln.

    Abstract: Die Indigenenbewegung ist trotz ihrer enormen Diversität ein wichtiger sozialer Akteur in der ecuadorianischen Gesellschaft. Seit einer Sattelzeit zwischen Mitte der 1970er und Mitte der 1980er Jahre hat sie einen Diskurs herausgebildet, der identitäre mit klassistischen Positionen verbindet und um die politischen Begriffe indigene Nationalität, Territorialität, Plurinationalität, Interkulturalität und Gutes Leben herum aufgebaut ist. Philipp Altmann zeigt, wie sich dieser Diskurs gegen die koloniale Strukturierung der Gesellschaft und ihre Auswirkungen - wie etwa Diskriminierung und Ungleichheit - wendet und daher dekolonial zu verstehen ist.
    Abstract: The Indigenous Peoples Movement, despite its enormous diversity, is an important social player in Ecuadorian Society. Since the transitional period between the mid-1970s and mid-1980s, it has established a discourse which combines identity with class position and is structured around the political terms indigenous sovereignty, nationality, territoriality, plural nationality, interculturality, and »the good life«.Philipp Altmann shows how this discourse stands in opposition to the colonial structuring of society and its effects - such as discrimination and inequality - and is therefore to be understood as decolonial.

    Abstract: Focusing on an area of the savannah in northern Ghana and southwestern Burkina Faso, Land, Mobility, and Belonging in West Africa explores how rural populations have secured, contested, and negotiated access to land and how they have organized their communities despite being constantly on the move as farmers or migrant laborers. Carola Lentz seeks to understand how those who claim native status hold sway over others who are perceived to have come later. As conflicts over land, agriculture, and labor have multiplied in Africa, Lentz shows how politics and power play decisive roles in determi

    Abstract: When Kate Middleton married Prince William in 2011, hundreds of millions of viewers watched the Alexander McQueen-clad bride and uniformed groom exchange vows before the Archbishop of Canterbury in Westminster Abbey. The wedding followed a familiar formula: ritual, vows, reception, and a white gown for the bride. Commonly known as a white wedding, the formula is firmly ensconced in popular culture, with movies like  Father of the Bride  or  Bride Wars , shows like  Say Yes to the Dress  and  Bridezillas , and live broadcast royal or reality-TV weddings garnering millions of viewers each year.

    Abstract: The canyon in central Mexico was ablaze with torches as hundreds of people filed in. So palpable was their shared shock and grief, they later said, that neither pastor nor priest was needed. The event was a memorial service for one of their own who had died during an attempted border passage. Months later a survivor emerged from a coma to tell his story. The accident had provoked a near-death encounter with God that prompted his conversion to Pentecostalism.   Today, over half of the local residents of El Alberto, a town in central Mexico, are Pentecostal. Submitting themselves to the authorit...

    Abstract: "For Michel Serres, economic crises are earthquakes caused by societal tectonic plates. The current crisis erupted because of the widening discrepancy between major social changes and institutions that have remained the same since WWII.Serres, one of the first to bring nature into the political, writes, "To destroy, kill, exploit is worthless. In the long run, it means destroying ourselves." At a time when the world population has grown so much that it is exhausting natural resources and the environment, we need to rethink cultural, social, and political dynamics. Serres argues that geopolitics and economics will no longer be a two-player game, between West and East, for example, but a three-player one, in which is Earth will be the third partner. This book is one of hope as it calls for a new world and extols the importance of science for our future and political institutions. Here, Serres demonstrates an optimistic outlook in a clear and luminous language that offers new paths for reflection and, ultimately, a better life for Earth and its inhabitants."--

    Abstract: The politics of food is changing fast. In rich countries, obesity is now a more serious problem than hunger. Consumers once satisfied with cheap and convenient food now want food that is also safe, nutritious, fresh, and grown by local farmers using fewer chemicals. Heavily subsidized and underregulated commercial farmers are facing stronger push back from environmentalists and consumer activists, and food companies are under the microscope.

    Abstract: What does it mean that we can be reached on our mobile phones wherever we are and at all times?
