    Abstract: Gesundheit als soziales Produkt: Moderne prädiktive Brustkrebsgentests liefern heute gesundheitsrelevantes Wissen mit eindeutiger Familienanbindung. Britta Pelters zeichnet erstmalig nach, wie Gesundheit im Unbestimmten des Risikodiskurses sowohl familial sozialisiert als auch individuell normiert wird. Ausgehend von dieser Praxis des »doing health« entwickelt sie einen konstruktivistischen, subjektiv-relationalen Gesundheitsbegriff, der der healthistisch fetischisierten Debatte um Gesundheit gerecht wird. Gleichzeitig wird mit dem Konzept der Individualnorm ein praktischer Bezugspunkt für die Arbeit im Feld der Gesundheitsförderung und Prävention angeboten.

    Abstract: The rise of terrorism has become a major factor in the destabilization of global structures since the end of the Cold War. Large-scale, high-impact terrorist attacks have occurred nearly every year since the 1990s. Many countries, regardless of their stability or volatility, have been hit by this new wave of terrorist tactics. This book argues that, in considering the increasing threat that global terrorism poses, it is necessary for us to know what terrorism is - not only its theoretical definitions, but its major features and its possible development trends in the future. The book discusses terrorist attacks throughout the world and analyzes the nature of these attacks. It presents a view that, although the establishment of effective preventive policies is an important step to erase breeding spaces for terrorism, the establishment of an equal international order is more important. In reality, as long as there is perpetual peace between nations, different ethical systems, and a just society as a whole, equal economic development between nations can be realized. With equal opportunity, the book takes the view that terrorist threats will be eradicated. (Series: China International Analysis and Evaluation Reports).

    Abstract: Offers insights into the hopes and aspirations of British Muslims from remarkably diverse ethnicities. In Britain's highly politicised social climate in the aftermath of the 7/7 London bombings, this book provides an in-depth understanding of British Muslim identity. Nahid Kabir has carried out over 200 in-depth, semi-structured interviews with young Muslims in five British cities: London, Leicester, Bradford, Leeds and Cardiff. By emphasising the importance of biculturalism, Kabir conveys a realistic and hopeful vision for their successful integration into British society.

    Abstract: This book traces the history of language technology from writing - the first technology specifically designed for language - to digital speech and other contemporary language systems. The book describes the social impact of technological developments over five millennia, and addresses topics such as the ways in which literacy has influenced cognitive and scientific development; the social impact of modern speech technology; the influence of various printing technologies; the usesand limitations of machine translation; how far mass information access is a means for exploitation or enlightenment; the deciphering of ancient scripts; and technical aids for people with language disabilities. Richard Sproat writes in a clear, readable style, introducing linguistic and other scientific concepts as they are needed. His book offers fascinating reading for everyone interested in how language and technology have shaped and continue to shape our day-to-day lives.

    Series Statement: Chinese Festival Culture Series
    DDC: 394.26951
    Abstract: 'The Festival of March the Third' is the day of sacrifice to ancestors, gods, and saints in China. This book introduces the origin, development, dissemination, activities, and distinctive local features of this Chinese festival. Different from 'The Tomb-Sweeping Day,' 'The Festival of March the Third' has religious implications for worshipping Buddhism and Taoism, warding off evil spirits, and purifying the mind. The book - written in an English-Chinese bilingual text - not only introduces the history and development of the festival, but also presents many touching folk tales and heroic legends which are associated with the festival. (Series: Chinese Festival Culture) [Subject: Anthropology, Chinese Studies, Asian Studies, Cultural Studies].

    Abstract: "We are our bodies", "we have our bodies", "we make our bodies". This "three-headed" axiom has made the body the "parasite" of modern culture.The individual that is fit for modernity was, and certainly still is, expected and encouraged to embrace its corporeal existence in order to find an answer to one of the most frequently asked questions in the modern Western world: "Who am I?" For those who live in Western societies, with a history of individualism, the temptation is to look inside oneself, to examine one's thoughts and feelings, as if self-identity is a treasure locked inside.The desire to change the skin one inhabits, to cite Almodòvar, has become "territorialized" in on-screen media, digital sites and social networks, shuffling the cards as if in an attempt to dance on the ruins of passing time. Everything is at play, everything is art. Madonna is like Michelangelo. Comic strips are like eight hundred page novels by Tolstoy. What is up for discussion is the advanced transformation of persons into spectators. The multiplication of screens creates a "visual party". The definition of the boundaries between the social sensorium and today's advanced technologies is the fundamental, and as yet unsolved, methodological problem arising from the contemporary "spatial turn" that is coming to maturity thanks to the re-orientation of the classical digital paradigm."Reclaiming the social throughout embodied practices" (Greenwood, 1994) is basically the ultimate objective of this book. The thinking, feeling and acting body will figure as prominently as the mind, cognition, and rationality in combining the framework of the research and the methodology underpinning its development. The body is, indeed, the origin of humans' most individual experiences and actions, since it is the point of application of the tuning and calibration of the senses and the...
    Abstract: general training of social skills. The notion of "body in action in context" is, consequently, the methodological proposal that Beyond the Skin: The Boundaries between Bodies and Technologies in an Unequal World offers to sociology, in order to surpass the "new alliance" between human senses and the new media, an alliance staged by bodies moving faster than thought across the maps of contemporary mobile spaces.

    Abstract: As Africa and its diaspora commemorate fifty years of post-independence Pan-Africanism, this unique and sometimes provocative collection of biographical essays provides profound insight into the thirteen prominent individuals of African descent who have won the Nobel Peace Prize since 1950. From the first American president of African descent, Barack Obama, whose father was Kenyan and whose career was inspired by the civil rights and anti-apartheid struggles promoted by other key individuals such as Marin Luther King, Jr., Nelson Mandela, Desmond Tutu, and Albert Luthuli; to influential figures in peacemaking such as Ralph Bunche, Anwar Sadat, Kofi Annan, and F.W. De Klerk; as well as Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Leymah Gbowee, Wangari Maathai, and Mohamed El-Baradei, who have been variously involved in women's rights, environmental protection, and nuclear disarmament, Africa's Peacemakers reveals how this remarkable collection of individuals have changed the world - for better or worse.

    Keywords: Lindqvist, Sven ; Aborigines ; Rassismus ; Australien ; Reisebericht
    Abstract: Sven Lindqvist is one of our most original writers on race, colonialism, and genocide, and his signature approachuniting travelogues with powerful acts of historical excavationrenders his books devastating and unforgettable. Now, for the first time, Lindqvist's most beloved works are available in one beautiful and affordable volume with a new introduction by Adam Hochschild. The Dead Do Not Die includes the full unabridged text of "Exterminate All the Brutes", called "a book of stunning range and near genius" by David Levering Lewis. In this work, Lindqvist uses Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness as a point of departure for a haunting tour through the colonial past, retracing the steps of Europeans in Africa from the late eighteenth century onward and thus exposing the roots of genocide via his own journey through the Saharan desert. The full text of Terra Nullius is also included, for which Lindqvist traveled 7,000 miles through Australia in search of the lands the British had claimed as their own because it was inhabited by "lower races," the native Aboriginesnearly nine-tenths of whom were annihilated by whites. The shocking story of how "no man's land" became the province of the white man was called "the most original work on Australia and its treatment of Aboriginals I have ever read . . . marvelous" by Phillip Knightley, author of Australia.

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

    Abstract: Author Angelo Codevilla asks, What is to be America's peace? How is it to be won and preserved in our time? He notes that our government's increasingly unlimited powers flow in part from our statesmen's inability to stay out of wars or to win them and that our statesmen and academics have ceased to think about such things. The purpose of this book is to rekindle such thoughts. The author reestablishes early American statecraft's understanding of peace-what it takes to make it and what it takes to keep it. He reminds Americans why our founding generation placed the pursuit of peace ahead of all other objectives; he shows how they tried to keep the peace by drawing sharp lines between America's business and that of others, as well as between peace and war. He shows how our 20th-century statesmen confused peace and war as well as America's affairs with that of mankind's. The result, he shows, has been endless war abroad and spiraling strife among Americans. Codevilla provides intellectual guidelines for recovering the pursuit of peace as the guiding principle by which the American people and statesmen may navigate domestic as well as international affairs.

    Series Statement: Regional Economic Outlook
    DDC: 303.409584
    Abstract: This issue discusses economic developments in the Middle East, North Africa, Afghanistan, and Pakistan (MENAP), which continue to reflect the diversity of conditions prevailing across the region. Most high-income oil exporters, primarily in the GCC, continue to record steady growth and solid economic and financial fundamentals, albeit with medium-term challenges that need to be addressed. In contrast, other countries-Iraq, Libya, and Syria-are mired in conflicts with not only humanitarian but also economic consequences. And yet other countries, mostly oil importers, are making continued but uneven progress in advancing their economic agendas, often in tandem with political transitions and amidst difficult social conditions. In most of these countries, without extensive economic and structural reforms, economic prospects for the medium term remain insufficient to reduce high unemployment and improve living standards.

    Abstract: Social media allows you to scale up a core librarian practice-connecting your community to information and learning--across geographic boundaries, 24/7. Addressing "curation" as the term is used colloquially, this issue of Library Technology Reports draws from 17 in-depth interviews to show how libraries are using social media to collect, organize, share, and interpret-in short, how to tell a digital story to a specific audience. Additionally the authors use data, collected through an online survey that encompassed all library types, to offer a snapshot of this important "collecting-connecting-curating-contributing" practice. Also included is an annotated directory covering 66 tools for social media curation, organized by category with links to the websites.

    Abstract: Trotz ihrer immensen Relevanz in der (verwaltungsreformierenden) Praxis der Landesgesetzgeber führt die Kommunalisierung von Staatsaufgaben in rechtssystematischer wie rechtsdogmatischer Hinsicht bislang ein Schattendasein. Rechtswissenschaftliche Abhandlungen in Rechtsprechung und Schrifttum beschränken sich im Wesentlichen auf die - oftmals streitigen - Aspekte der finanziellen Entschädigung für die neue kommunale Aufgabenträgerschaft (Konnexität) sowie des Personalübergangs und damit bewirkter Beeinträchtigungen der Personal- und Organisationshoheit. Die Fragen nach den Wesenszügen und Unterschieden von Kommunalisierungen, ihren Auswirkungen auf das Verständnis der kommunalen Selbstverwaltung sowie den durch sie bewirkten Veränderungen - kommunalintern zwischen den Organen, kommunalextern im Land-Kommunen-Beziehungsgeflecht - bleiben damit in der Regel unbeantwortet. Diese Lücke schließt die Untersuchung. Dabei richtet sie sich gleichermaßen an die Ministerialverwaltungen, die Kommunalisierungen initiieren, die gestaltenden Landesgesetzgeber sowie an all diejenigen, die sich rechtsprechend und/oder wissenschaftlich mit den Garantien kommunaler Selbstverwaltung beschäftigen. Dazu entfaltet und verortet das in fünf Kapitel gegliederte Werk die Kommunalisierung begrifflich und staatsorganisatorisch, systematisiert und analysiert ihre verschiedenen Formen, arbeitet verfassungsrechtliche Maßstäbe heraus und befasst sich mit den Fragen, die sich nach der Umsetzung stellen. Die Darstellungen rücken die Ebene der Kreise als Adressaten von Kommunalisierungen in den Betrachtungsfokus und liefern, sofern die Systemanalyse Anlass dazu bietet, neue dogmatische wie praktische Lösungsansätze - dies nicht abstrakt, sondern stets unter Rezeption der von den Landesgesetzgebern verfolgten »Kommunalisierungsidee«.   Reihe Schriften zum deutschen und europäischen...

In vergleichender Übersicht stellt die Einführung zentrale Sinnbegriffe vor, die als Basiskategorien in verschiedenen soziologischen Theorien verwendet werden. Die Abhängigkeit der Konstruktion des soziologischen Gegenstandsbereichs von theoretischen Grundannahmen wird auf diese Weise beobachtbar. Es zeigt sich: Nicht zuletzt die Wahl des Sinnbegriffs ist entscheidend für die Möglichkeiten soziologischen Fragens und methodischen Beobachtens. Das Buch eignet sich in hervorragender Weise dazu, Studium und Lehre der Soziologie, insbesondere in den einführenden Modulen zur soziologischen Theorie, strukturierend zu begleiten.

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

    Abstract: As John Bellamy Foster writes in his foreword to the present book, "István Mészáros is one of the greatest philosophers that the historical materialist tradition has yet produced. His work stands practically alone today in the depth of its analysis of Marx's theory of alienation, the structural crisis of capital, the demise of Soviet-style post-revolutionary societies, and the necessary conditions of the transition to socialism. His dialectical inquiry into social structure and forms of consciousness-a systematic critique of the prevailing forms of thought-is unequaled in our time." Mészáros is the author of magisterial works like Beyond Capital and Social Structures of Forms of Consciousness, but his work can seem daunting to those unacquainted with his thought. Here, for the first time, is a concise and accessible overview of Mészáros's ideas, designed by the author himself and covering the broad scope of his work, from the shortcomings of bourgeois economics to the degeneration of the capital system to the transition to socialism.

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

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

    Series Statement: Chinese Festival Culture Series
    DDC: 394.26951
    Abstract: In China, 'The Festival of February the Second' literally means the day of dragon's head-raising and, on this day, Chinese people pray for favorable weather and a bumper harvest for the year. This book - printed in an English-Chinese bilingual text - introduces the origin, development, implied meanings, and abundant features of this festival. As one of many traditional Chinese festivals, 'The Festival of February the Second' is less known outside China. Even many locals in China have forgotten this important festival, which used to be popular in rural areas. Originating from the countryside, it is deeply rooted in the agricultural era. Therefore, it has many aspects that are different to other festivals in China. The book offers an insight into a key part of China's festival heritage. (Series: Chinese Festival Culture) [Subject: Anthropology, Chinese Studies, Asian Studies, Cultural Studies].
