    Abstract: This study raises awareness to the emergence of a new genre in world literatureóhybridized literature. It rejects the assumption according to which literatures written in less commonly taught languages should be subsumed into one universally accessible global idiom. Instead, Vakunta challenges literary scholars and readers of literature to regard untranslatability as the key to cross-cultural engagement. The bookís multiple approaches and innumerable sources generate complex interdisciplinary connections and provide an excellent introduction to a complex literary phenomenon alien to literati resident outside the officially bilingual multicultural and multilingual Republic of Cameroon.

    Abstract: Teachers, doctors and senior civil servants used to be considered role models in society but as in every profession, there are always black sheep who tarnish the reputation of their peers. Beneath the stereotype of a hardworking employee, here are cases of people who have committed crimes of a sexual or perverse nature. Read about the serial rapist who found his victims through social media; the elderly doctor who was accused of molesting his patient; the senior civil servant who traded sex for business favours; the female teacher who behaved inappropriately with the classmate of her 13-year old son. These are the stories of the men and women who did not keep their passion under control, committing crimes of a sexual nature.

    Abstract: This concise book on agile and Scrum offers an alternative methodology for project planning in the communication branch in which flexibility is embraced and formalized. Dynamics and change are no longer obstacles, but simply elements of the method. Scrum was invented by two organization scholars and further developed in the information technology industry. Today, it is applied in many disciplines, but scarcely at all in the field of communication. That is expected to change swiftly. Scrum is now being applied experimentally in communication and users are highly enthusiastic.

    Abstract: Die Region zwischen den Flüssen Tigris, Großer Zab und Diyala und den Randhängen des Zagros-Gebirges zeichnet sich durch eine große landschaftliche und klimatische Diversität aus. Diese prägte vom 7. bis 1. Jahrtausend v.Chr. nicht nur nachhaltig menschliches Siedlungsverhalten, sondern auch die wirtschaftlichen, politischen und kulturellen Beziehungen zu benachbarten Regionen, so dass sich das Gebiet in vielfacher Hinsicht als Grenzregion fassen lässt. Simone Mühl geht in ihrer Untersuchung zur wechselseitigen Geschichte des mittleren Osttigrisgebiets von archäologischem Material aus Notgrabungen des irakischen Antikendienstes in der Umgebung von Assur, der ersten Hauptstadt des assyrischen Reiches, aus. Um Aspekte kultureller Unterschiede oder Gemeinsamkeiten der Kulturgruppen nördlich und südlich des Kleinen Zab näher zu beleuchten, werden die Funde und Befunde dieser Untersuchungen in einen regionalen und überregionalen Kontext eingebettet. Zudem wird die Analyse des archäologischen Materials mit der Fernerkundung der Region anhand von Satellitenbildaufnahmen kombiniert. Dabei wird die Landschaft auf anthropogen verursachte Veränderungen untersucht und es konnten beispielsweise 1672 Tell- und Flachsiedlungen lokalisiert sowie das antike Verkehrs- und Bewässerungsnetz in erhaltenen Teilen kartiert, rekonstruiert und kontextualisiert werden. Mühls Studie liefert nicht nur wichtige Einblicke in das Wechselspiel von Innovation und Kulturtransfer, sondern auch in die Abgrenzung von Kulturgruppen im mittleren Osttigrisgebiet und bildet so die Grundlage für ein neues Verständnis ökonomischer und soziokultureller Entwicklungen, die der Region am Tigris ihr noch heute sichtbares Gepräge gegeben haben. ReiheAbhandlungen der Deutschen Orient-Gesellschaft - Band 28.

    Abstract: Großfürst Konstantin Nikolaevic (1827-1892) war einer der bemerkenswertesten russischen Staatsmänner des 19. Jahrhunderts. Der zweitgeborene Sohn von Kaiser Nikolaj I. begründete als General-Admiral der russischen Flotte im Marineministerium eine Kultur des Wandels in der St. Petersburger Politik, die dazu führte, dass sein Bruder, Kaiser Aleksandr II., Mitte der 1850er Jahre ein groß angelegtes Reformprogramm initiierte. Konstantin wurde bald unverzichtbar für die Politik im Reich seines Bruders: Er setzte die epochale Befreiung der Bauern aus der Leibeigenschaft durch und öffnete damit den Weg für weitere Modernisierungen der Autokratie. Als er kaiserlicher Statthalter im russisch beherrschten Polen wurde, verfolgte er die große Vision einer Versöhnung von Polen mit Russland auf der Grundlage von Respekt und Gesetzlichkeit, eine Vision, die jedoch im Aufstandskrieg von 1863 unterging.Matthias Stadelmanns Studie zur russischen Reformära verknüpft die Analyse entscheidender Wirkungsstationen des Großfürsten mit einer Kulturgeschichte des Politischen. Erst über die biographisch orientierte Betrachtung Konstantin Nikolaevics erschließen sich grundlegende Strukturen der Petersburger Politik: Reformdiskurse, Kommunikationsmechanismen, Handlungsstrategien und Entscheidungsfaktoren. Darüber hinaus gibt die Studie Einblick in die vielschichtige Persönlichkeit des Kaiserbruders, der - aufgeklärt und despotisch, kultiviert und schroff - seine Zeitgenossen stets polarisierte, gerade mit dieser Polarisierung aber Potential für Russlands historischen Wandel schuf. Vom eindrücklichen Beispiel des Großfürsten ausgehend stellt Stadelmann den persönlichen Faktor als entscheidendes Moment politischer Gestaltung im Russischen Kaiserreich heraus. ReiheForschungen zur osteuropäischen Geschichte - Band 79.

    Abstract: This book deals with a variety of socio-cultural, economic and political problems facing Cameroon and the rest of Africa, with particular reference to unemployment, corruption, poverty, criminality, violence, insecurity, and moral decadence. It presents a critical analysis of government policies from the colonial era to the present time; arguing that most of these policies have been stalled by an uncommitted leadership. The regime in Cameroon has drifted away from basic managerial and democratic principles in in favour of the ethnicisation of politics, sterile consumption, clientelism and patronage. The book contends that corruption has become the main instrument of governance whereby the political and economic elites control the wealth of the nation at the expense of a majority who wallow in abject poverty and misery. Faced with the difficult economic and political situation, most youth and the intelligentsia have adopted official and unofficial' means to circumvent all immigration rules to travel to affluent Western countries, the consequences notwithstanding. Brain drain is often the outcome. Further, it examines issues of social exclusion, political representation and marginalization with special focus on the predicament of Anglophone Cameroonians as a socio-cultural community. The inclusion of examples and case studies based on empirical and secondary data from Africa is intended to foreground the importance of comparison, and attract the interest of both academic and non-academic readership.

    Abstract: In Fabricating the Absolute Fake, Jaap Kooijman explores the ways people around the world interpret and attempt to reproduce "Americanness." Tracing the ways America has been appropriated by pop culture produced outside the United States, he examines such icons as the Elvis-inspired performer Lee Towers and the Moroccan-Dutch rapper Ali B. This revised edition features a new chapter on Barack Obama's global celebrity and an afterword on teaching American pop culture. Like the first edition, it will prove an illuminating resource for scholars of American culture and popular cultures the world over.

    Abstract: Kniha se ve 24 kapitolách zabývá vybranými problémy tvorení slov v predklasické a klasické francouzštine 16. a 17. století. V první cásti se autor venuje nekterým teoretickým otázkám (problematika periodizace, lexikalizace, jazyková norma, morfologická produktivita, teorie optimality a její využití v diachronní morfologii, aj.), ve druhé je nekolik studií zamereno na konkrétní slovotvorné typy (nominalizace na -ment, -ance,-aison, problematika kolektivních substantiv na -age, aj.) a konkrétní historie urcitých slov (adjektiv tvorená od matin-, slova odvozovaná od základu assassin- aj.). Tretí cást analyzuje francouzsko-španelský slovník Jeana Palleta a postoj jazykových „pozorovatelu" 17. století k slovotvorbe.Le volume aborde, en 24 chapitres, un choix de problèmes liés à la formation des mots en français préclassique et classique. Dans la première partie, l'auteur analyse un certain nombre de questions à portée théorique (périodisation, lexicalisation, norme linguistique, productivité morphologique, théorie de l'optimalité et son utilisation en morphologie diachronique, etc.). Les études de la deuxième partie se focalisent sur des patrons dérivationnels concrets (nominalisations en -ment, -ance, -aison, évolution des noms collectifs en -age, etc.) et sur l'histoire de quelques mots concrets (adjectifs et noms formés, respectivement, à partir des bases matin- et assassin-, etc.). La troisième partie comprend une étude consacrée aux aspects morpholexicaux du dictionnaire français-espagnol de Jean Pallet et une autre qui aborde l'attitude des remarqueurs du XVIIe siècle vis-à-vis de la formation des mots.

    Abstract: Après avoir fait le point sur les connaissances en matière de « néonaticide », « filicide » et « infanticide », cet ouvrage se propose une analyse de situations infanticides à partir de dizaines de cas, depuis la mort du nouveau-né, parfois répétée plusieurs fois, jusqu'au meurtre de masse (plusieurs enfants).  Ces mères qui ont tué leur(s) bébé(s) ou leurs enfants sont habitées par une mélancolie particulière qui est au centre de ces histoires dramatiques, mais cependant toutes singulières. Cette mélancolie n'est pas une maladie mentale et se doit d'être expliquée, car incomprise, par le clinicien lors de procès souvent fort médiatisés.L'ouvrage, issu de l'expérience clinique de l'auteur, tente de décrypter et de répondre à une interrogation essentielle qui fait aujourd'hui débat : Comment certaines femmes se retrouvent-elles face à un besoin de « néantisation » qui les fait se supprimer en tant que mères ou conserver comme témoins de leur « maternalité » les corps de leurs nourrissons décédés ?.

    Keywords: Soziologische Theorie
    Abstract: Die Vielfalt soziologischer Zugriffe auf die moderne Gesellschaft lässt sich in die drei Stränge der ungleichheits-, der differenzierungs- und der kulturtheoretischen Denktradition bündeln. Alle drei Stränge setzen sich aus einer Pluralität von Perspektiven zusammen, und es gibt vielfältige Verbindungen zwischen ihnen - bis hin zu Versuchen, zwei oder sogar drei Stränge in theoretischen Synthesen zusammenzuführen. Dieses Bild, das die soziologische Gesellschaftstheorie seit den Klassikern bis heute bietet, wird in der Einführung systematisch dargestellt und kommentiert. Ein besonderer Akzent wird dabei darauf gelegt, wie die verschiedenen Perspektiven zum Verständnis heutiger gesellschaftlicher Problemlagen beitragen und welche zeitdiagnostischen Horizonte sie eröffnen.   Rezension »Dem Buch gelingt ein schwieriger Spagat: Es ist Überblick und Debatte zugleich. Auf knapp 200 Seiten bündelt es aktuelle Diskussionen soziologischer Gesellschaftstheorien und gibt zudem Denkanstöße für eine Weiterentwicklung der Gesellschaftsforschung.« Yvonne Niekrenz, www.socialnet.de, 27.01.2014 »Schimank belässt es nicht bei einer deskriptiven Darstellung der einzelnen z.T. widerstreitenden Theorien(-familien), sondern macht deutlich, dass die genannten Ansätze v.a. im Austausch und im Verbund das Rüstzeug zur theoretischen Beschreibung und Analyse der modernen kapitalistischen Gesellschaften liefern können.« Mario Kowalak, ekz bibliotheksservice, 42 (2013).

    Abstract: Die Beherrschung der ländlichen Welt stellt bis ins Spätmittelalter die wichtigsten Ressourcen und Fundamente der Herrschaft von Adel, Kirche, Fürsten und Königen. In der Deutschen historiographischen Tradition wird diese Struktur mit dem Begriff "Grundherrschaft" bezeichnet. Der vorliegende Band enthält die nun auch auf deutsch vorliegenden Ergebnisse einer Tagung des Trienter Instituts. Die Autoren problematisieren diesen Begriff einerseits in der - inzwischen unterschiedlichen - Sicht der deutschen, italienischen und französischen Geschichtsschreibung. Andererseits bringen die Verfasser synthetische, landesgeschichtlich fundierte Zusammenfassungen und Weiterführungen der Forschungsergebnisse der letzten Jahrzehnte für Deutschland (einschließlich Ostdeutschlands) und Oberitalien. Die Gemeinsamkeiten, vor allem aber die Unterschiede der rechtlich-sozialen Grundstrukturen wie ihrer begrifflichen Deutung nördlich und südlich der Alpen treten durch den Vergleich deutlich hervor.   Inhaltsverzeichnis Inhalt: C.

    Abstract: In this important new historical study, Maria Kovacs examines the struggle between liberal and anti-Semitic policies among professional groups--doctors, lawyers, engineers--in Hungary. Kovacs's main emphasis is on the interwar period when unemployment, expansion of the welfare system, and competition for state jobs during the Great Depression, combined with crass anti-Semitism on the part of engineers and medical associations, radically altered previously liberal policies of open entry and equal educational opportunity. Liberal Professions and Illiberal Politics analyzes to what extent these new policies were dictated by authoritarian governments from above and to what extent they originated within the professions themselves. The story ends with the Holocaust, which sealed the fate of those professionals who had become victims of persecution under the German occupation of Hungary.

    Abstract: In our increasingly complicated and data-driven world, many new developments are so complex that only experts comprehend their nuances. But what they don't grasp is how to tell the world about them. Communicating technical content to nontechnical listeners has fast become a critical 21st-century skill. Explaining what you do and why it's important drives funding, policy decisions, media exposure, public awareness, and customer adoption. This groundbreaking guide will help anyone to deliver clear, persuasive messages that win hearts, minds, and budgets. Supercommunicator explains how to: ● Distill details and data into big ideas ● Deliver meaning to audiences ● Use storytelling to captivate and educate ● Humanize content to make complicated ideas more tangible ● Layer harder ideas on top of easier ideas ● Strip away complex language, jargon, and acronyms ● Use analogies to explain unfamiliar areas ● Master new digital modes of expression ● And more Enhanced with a wealth of examples--from how the National Academy of Sciences used audience research to improve the way evolution is taught, to how NASA incorporated cutting-edge tools to visualize issues in climatology--this one-of-a-kind book reveals how to make the complex comprehensible, and the dry deeply compelling.

The book brings to light that which many scholars ignore: the symbiotic linkages within a global supranational regime consisting of MNCs, WTO, the IMF/World Bank, western media technology, and the lone superpower that are the principal actors in the global political economy.

    Abstract: Erfährt der Mensch ein Update, wie es der Prothetiker Hugh Herr mit seiner Formel von den »Humans 2.0« prophezeit? Die Diskussion um die Hightech-Prothesen eines Oscar Pistorius oder um Aufsehen erregende körpernahe Medien wie die Google-Brille zeigen einen Wandel der Ideen von Körperlichkeit: Verbessernde Eingriffe in und um den Körper werden nicht länger als notwendige Kompensation von Defiziten begriffen, sondern als wünschenswerte Optimierung und Steigerung. Werden Körper »machbar«? Karin Harrasser situiert diese aktuellen Diskurse und Praktiken des Körpers und entwirft einen anderen Blick auf sie. Wie lässt sich über Technologien, Medien und Körper aus der Perspektive von teilsouveränem Handeln und Parahumanität sprechen?   Is mankind being updated, as prosthetist Hugh Herr predicts with his formula of »Humans 2.0«? The discussion about the high tech prosthetic limbs of Oscar Pistorius or about exciting, body contact media like Google Glass show a shift in concepts of physicality: an improvement procedure in or around the body is no longer considered a necessary compensation of deficits, but a desirable optimization and enhancement. Are bodies becoming »makeable«? Karin Harrasser situates these current discourses and practices of the body and designs a different view of them. How can we speak about technologies, media, and bodies from the perspective of partially sovereign action and para-humanity?   Rezension »Beeindruckender Essay.« Rolf Löchel, www.literaturkritik.de, 03.06.2014 »Ein spannender Ansatz.« Tanja Paar, diestandard.at, 03.12.2013 »Dieses [...] Buch zu lesen macht mit jeder Zeile Vergnügen.« Britta Schinzel, Freiburger Universitätsblätter, 203/1 (2014) »Wie es [...] gelingen kann, der Dauerpräsenz überindividueller, nicht-menschlicher Wesen im Zusammenleben sinnvoll zu begegnen, wird angesichts der wachsenden Möglichkeiten...

    Abstract: Wer die moderne Gesellschaft komplexitätsangemessen auf den Begriff bringen möchte, darf über den Sport nicht schweigen! Karl-Heinrich Bette setzt diese Forderung konsequent und innovativ in die Tat um und analysiert ausgewählte Phänomene wie die Begeisterung des Sportpublikums, das Sportheldentum, den Abenteuer- und Risikosport sowie das Doping im Spitzensport vor dem Hintergrund gesellschaftlicher Modernisierungsprozesse. Außerdem wird mit der Sportsoziologie jene Disziplin vorgestellt und durchleuchtet, die in der modernen Gesellschaft für eine amoralische, fremde und inkongruente Beobachtung des Sports ausdifferenziert wurde.   Rezension »Der Autor [liefert] eine Reihe von scharfsinnigen und lehrreichen Analysen über den Zustand des modernen Sports.« Dieter Reicher, Soziologische Revue, 37 (2014) Besprochen in: BISp, 5 (2011) www.lehrerbibliothek.de, 5 (2011), Dieter Bach.

    Abstract: Nur wenn Kinder krabbeln, greifen und laufen, lernen sie ihre Umwelt optimal kennen - und sich selbst. Ausreichende Bewegung ist daher bereits im Babyalter wichtig: Sie sorgt für eine bessere Haltung, eine kräftige Muskulatur, gute Koordination, einen ausgebildeten Intellekt und ein gesundes Selbstbewusstsein. Die zahlreiche Anregungen und Bewegungsspiele in diesem Ratgeber sind kinderleicht im Alltag umzusetzen. Durch die Einteilung nach Entwicklungsstufen, Alter und Situationen ist es einfach, das passende Spiel zu finden - ob auf der Wickelkommode, dem Fußboden oder an der frischen Luft. Biographische InformationenUlla Nedebock hat über viele Jahre Mutter-Kind-Kurse geleitet. Sie ist überzeugt, dass eine frühe Förderung die Entwicklung des Kindes positiv beeinflusst. Zusammen mit weiteren Experten entwickelte sie für dieses Buch einalltagstaugliches Konzept für alle Eltern, die die Entwicklung ihrer Kinder positiv unterstützen möchten. Ulla Nedebock arbeitet außerdem für Kinderbuchverlage, schreibt Kinderbücher und führt Buchprojekte in Grundschulendurch. Sie ist Mutter von drei Töchtern.

    Abstract: Das Thema »soziale Innovationen« hat in den letzten 20 Jahren in westlichen Gesellschaften zwar immer größere Aufmerksamkeit erfahren, ist dabei aber sowohl begrifflich und konzeptionell als auch inhaltlich äußerst unscharf geblieben. Angesichts der wachsenden Bedeutung sozialer Innovationen ist eine konzeptionelle Weiterentwicklung des theoretischen Ansatzes von großer Bedeutung. Dieser Band diskutiert die Frage, was eine Innovation zur sozialen Innovation macht. Die Autoren gehen theoretischen Konzepten, empirischen Forschungsfeldern und beobachtbaren Trends nach und arbeiten die zentralen Dimensionen eines sozialwissenschaftlichen Konzepts sozialer Innovation heraus.   Rezension Besprochen in: WSI Mitteilungen, 3 (2011), Hellmuth Lange Forschungsjournal Soziale Bewegungen, 2 (2014), Gorgi Krlev/Thomas Scheuerle.

    Abstract: The contribution of this book to the field of reconciliation is both theoretical and practical, recognizing that good theory guides effective practice and practice is the ground for compelling theory. Using a Girardian hermeneutic as a starting point, a new conceptual Gestalt emerges in these essays, one not fully integrated in a formal way but showing a clear understanding of some of the challenges and possibilities for dealing with the deep divisions, enmity, hatred, and other effects of violence.

    Abstract: Islam in "Liberal" Europe provides the first comprehensive overview of the political and social status of Islam and of Muslim migrants in Europe. In addition to offering a critical assessment of positive and negative trends in Islamic-Western relations, Kai Hafez also engages in a theoretical debate revolving around integration, tolerance, multicultural liberalism, and modern liberal democracy. Assessing Islamophobia as it is manifested in politics, society, media, academia, school, and churches, the author debates the question of whether liberal society in Europe, in order to avoid a growing gap between integrative politics and discriminatory societies, needs a complete renewal not only of political ideologies but also of cultures and institutions.

    Abstract: Food and eating has always been endowed with meanings. It is one of the most visible and important symbols of identity and difference, uniting the members of a community and segregating them from other communities. This inclusion and exclusion can be observed not only in what they eat or what they are known to eat, but also how they eat, how they prepare and serve their food, and what happens after food is taken. The study of food politics and questions of identity and difference can, therefore, be a means of understanding the underlying social relations in any culture and its quiescent philosophy.This ethnographic work discusses the politics inherent in food among the Garos of Assam (India) and Bangladesh. In these two areas, they live as a minority, and with and in the peripheries of a dominant non-Garo culture. Thus, this book examines the ways in which Garos conceptualize themselves and the 'other' world through the microcosm of food - the most important need of all. It discusses, among other topics, how the concepts of Garo food versus non-Garo food find fruition in social reality and collective memory, as an identity marker.

    Abstract: The idea of the imagination is as evocative as it is elusive. Not only does the imagination allow us to project ourselves beyond our own immediate space and time, it also allows us to envision the future, as individuals and as collectives. The radical imagination, then, is that spark of difference, desire and discontent that can be fanned into the flames of social change. Yet what precisely is the imagination and what might make it 'radical'? How can it be fostered and cultivated? How can it be studied and what are the possibilities and risks of doing so? This book seeks to answer these questions at a crucial time. As we enter into a new cycle of struggles marked by a worldwide crisis of social reproduction, scholar-activists Max Haiven and Alex Khasnabish explore the processes and possibilities for cultivating the radical imagination in dark times. A lively and crucial intervention in radical politics, social research and social change, and the collective visions and cultures that inspire them.

    Abstract: This innovative volume challenges contemporary views on material culture by exploring the relationship between wrapping materials and practices and the objects, bodies, and places that define them. Using examples as diverse as baby swaddling, Egyptian mummies, Celtic tombs, lace underwear, textile clothing, and contemporary African silk, the dozen archaeologist and anthropologist contributors show how acts of wrapping and unwrapping are embedded in beliefs and thoughts of a particular time and place. Employing methods of artifact analysis, microscopy, and participant observation, the contributors provide a new lens on material culture and its relationship to cultural meaning.

    Abstract: Die wichtigsten Publikationen der Kabarettistin, Vortragskünstlerin und Filmschauspielerin Resi Langer. Die Kabarettistin und Schauspielerin Resi Langer erregte in den künstlerisch turbulenten Jahren vor dem Ersten Weltkrieg in Berlin mit der Rezitation von Rokokogedichten in zeitgenössischen Kostümen Aufsehen. Aufmerksam geworden ist sie auf die erotische Literatur des 18. Jahrhunderts durch den expressionistischen Dichter Ernst Stadler. In Alfred Richard Meyers Reihe »Lyrische Flugblätter«, in der u.a. Gottfried Benns »Morgue«-Gedichte Furore machten, stellte sie die kleine Sammlung »Rokoko. Ein lyrisches Flugblatt anonymer Autoren« (1913) zusammen. Ihre Erfahrungen mit dem neuen Medium des Films reflektiert sie in ihren vor dem ersten Weltkrieg entstandenen, 1919 veröffentlichten »Kinotypen. Vor und hinter den Filmkulissen. Zwölf Kapitel aus der Kinderstube des Films«, die durchaus als Vorläufer der Feuilletons Siegfried Kracauers zum Film betrachtet werden können. Die vorliegende Edition umfasst diese beiden größeren Publikationen sowie einen Kommentarteil und ein Vorwort zur Biographie der Künstlerin, zur zeitgenössischen Rezeption ihres künstlerischen Schaffens und vor allem zur Darstellung der zu dieser Zeit virulenten Rokokomode.   Biographische Informationen Johanna Egger, geb. 1986, Literaturwissenschaftlerin, wissenschaftliche Hilfskraft am Seminar für Deutsche Philologie an der Georg-August-Universität Göttingen. Jeanette Wiede, geb. 1963, Arbeit als Redakteurin, Drehbuchautorin und Regisseurin, studentische Hilfskraft am Seminar für Deutsche Philologie der Georg-August-Universität Göttingen.

    Abstract: An Bahnhöfen, vor Fußballstadien, in Stadtgärten und Fußgängerzonen, überall trifft man sie an: die Pfandsammler. Es sind Männer und Frauen, alte und junge, und sie gehören spätestens seit der Einführung des Pfandes auf Einweggetränkeverpackungen im Jahre 2006 zum Bild einer jeden deutschen Großstadt. Verdienen kann man mit dem Aufklauben von Dosen und Flaschen kaum etwas; diese nur vordergründige rein ökonomische Aktivität erlaubt es noch nicht einmal, die eigene Existenz auf minimale Weise selbstständig zu sichern. Zudem werden diese Menschen, die mit ihren Händen tief in die Abfalltonne der Innenstädte greifen, die öffentlichen Plätze vom Unrat der anderen reinigen und dann mit dem signifikanten Klappern der Flaschen in ihren Tüten weiterziehen, zumeist nur toleriert oder gar vor aller Augen erniedrigt. Ihnen haftet das Etikett des Drecksarbeiters, Penners und Schmarotzers an. Die vermeintlich einfache Frage, warum Menschen trotz all dieser widrigen Umstände tagtäglich aufs Neue durch die Straßen der Großstädte ziehen, welche Aussagen die Betrachungen dieser Sozialfigur in Bezug auf Prekarität und Marginalität, auf Armut und Einsamkeit in unserer modernen Gesellschaft zum Ausdruck bringt, erkundet die vorliegende Studie. Den heutigen Sammlern von Pfandflaschen werden historische Gefährten vergleichend zur Seite gestellt. Sie sammelten Holz, Lumpen und Ähren und fügten sich in ihre Rollen in den jeweiligen gesellschaftlichen Gebilden. Sebastian J. Moser legt mit diesem Buch die bisher einzige wissenschaftliche Auseinandersetzung mit der Figur des Pfandsammlers vor. Die Arbeit räumt mit gängigen Klischees auf, ermöglicht einen Einblick in die Welt der Pfandsammler und führt zu überraschenden Einsichten in die Verfasstheit unserer modernen Gesellschaft.   Biographische Informationen Sebastian J.

This necessitates changes in national policies to address the widening gap of inequality between rich and poor.

    Abstract: Tracking the evolution of digital technology is no easy task; changes happen so fast that keeping pace presents quite a challenge. This is, nevertheless, the aim of the Digital Enlightenment Yearbook.This book is the third in the series which began in 2012 under the auspices of the Digital Enlightenment Forum. This year, the focus is on the relationship of individuals with their networks, and explores "Social networks and social machines, surveillance and empowerment". In what is now the well-established tradition of the yearbook, different stakeholders in society and various disciplinary communities (technology, law, philosophy, sociology, economics, policymaking) bring their very different opinions and perspectives to bear on this topic.The book is divided into four parts: the individual as data manager; the individual, society and the market; big data and open data; and new approaches. These are bookended by a Prologue and an Epilogue, which provide illuminating perspectives on the discussions in between. The division of the book is not definitive; it suggests one narrative, but others are clearly possible.The 2014 Digital Enlightenment Yearbook gathers together the science, social science, law and politics of the digital environment in order to help us reformulate and address the timely and pressing questions which this new environment raises. We are all of us affected by digital technology, and the subjects covered here are consequently of importance to us all.

    Series Statement: Cases in Modern Chinese Business
    DDC: 306.360951
    Abstract: Many people want to do business with China, but very few foreign business people have an understanding and appreciation of how business is actually conducted in the country. This book offers insights into the history, philosophy, and practice of business in China today. The book begins by asking several key questions about business in China: Why is it a common phenomenon in China that one prefers being a leader in a small organization to being led in a big one? Why is it common in Chinese enterprises that within an organization there is generally a bureaucracy to control a network of comparatively independent sub-units? There are different forms of self-organized sub-units within an enterprise, such as affiliated subsidiaries or self-directed teams, contracted out business units, independent local branches, profit-center departments, and internal startup teams. Why do Chinese enterprises always network with each other to realize an all-win situation? These cooperative networks include regional business groups, small enterprise networks, platform-based models, network consolidators, and industry networks characterized by one town focusing on a single industry. In exploring these questions, the book examines the form and structure of Chinese social networks and indigenous management. It looks at the origins and importance of Chinese management philosophies, including "Guanxi" management - a concept and practice crucial to understanding business in China and increasingly central to management teaching in China. Guanxi is examined in great detail and from various dynamics and perspectives. The book is based upon a series of lecturers given to management students at the prestigious Tsinghua University in Beijing. Therefore, it also offers an insight into what China's business leaders of the future are learning. (Series: Cases in Modern Chinese...

    Abstract: Natur ist Gegenbegriff von Gesellschaft, von Kultur, vom Sozialen, kurz: sie ist alles, was der Mensch nicht erschaffen hat. Natur scheint damit auch all das zu sein, was nicht zum Untersuchungsbereich der Soziologie gehört. Dieses Buch interpretiert die Entwicklung der Soziologie als Auseinandersetzung mit ihrem vermeintlichen Gegenpol Natur. Hierzu gehören immer wieder aufflammende Debatten um die menschliche Natur, Konzepte von Gesellschaft als Naturprozess oder Diskussionen über die Rückwirkungen der äußeren Natur auf die Gesellschaft. Der auf den Einsatz in der Lehre zugeschnittene Einführungsband verweist damit auf die Zentralität des Gesellschafts-Natur-Verhältnisses für die soziologische Begriffs- und Theoriebildung.   Rezension »Insgesamt ist das Buch von Matthias Groß eine kurze, gut informierte wissenschaftshistorische [...] Studie zum Verhältnis von Soziologie, Biologie und Geografie, das vor allem die 'Grenzstreitigkeiten' zum Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts in Frankreich und zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts in den USA [...] in den Blick nimmt. Vor allem die amerikanische Debatte ist sehr gut dargestellt und auch für die Soziologen mit Gewinn zu lesen, die sich für die Frühgeschichte der Soziologie in Chicago interessieren.« Jo Reichertz, Soziologische Revue, 31 (2008) Besprochen in: Internationales Jahrbuch für Philosophische Anthropologie, 2 (2009), Nico Lüdtke Berliner Debatte Initial, 3 (2010).

    Abstract: Followers dominate all organizations, but a preoccupation with leaders hinders the consideration of the importance of followers and the relationship between followers and leaders. Followership: What It Takes to Lead will teach you how to become a better leader by becoming a better follower. The book includes chapters on the topics of: leadership theory, followership theory, preparation for the job, understanding what is required for the job, communication, initiative, positive attitude, responsibility, problem solving, and teamwork. It also provides suggestions for becoming an exemplary follower, which will demonstrate and manifest the skills associated with leadership as well as bridge the gap between leadership training and followership.

    Abstract: From wicked queens, beautiful princesses, elves, monsters, and goblins to giants, glass slippers, poisoned apples, magic keys, and mirrors, the characters and images of fairy tales have cast a spell over readers and audiences, both adults and children, for centuries. These fantastic stories have travelled across cultural borders, and been passed on from generation to generation, ever-changing, renewed with each re-telling. Few forms of literature have greater powerto enchant us and rekindle our imagination than a fairy tale. But what is a fairy tale? Where do they come from and what do they mean? What do they try and communicate to us about morality, sexuality, and society? The range of fairy tales stretches across great distances and time; their history is entangled with folklore and myth, and their inspiration draws on ideas about nature and the supernatural, imagination and fantasy, psychoanalysis, and feminism. Marina Warner has loved fairy tales over a long writing life, and she explores here a multitude of tales through the ages, their different manifestations on the page, the stage, and the screen. From the phenomenal rise of Victorian and Edwardian literature to contemporary children's stories, Warner unfolds a glittering array of examples, from classics such as Red Riding Hood, Cinderella, and The Sleeping Beauty, the Grimm Brothers' Hansel and Gretel, and HansAndersen's The Little Mermaid, to modern-day realizations including Walt Disney's Snow White and gothic interpretations such as Pan's Labyrinth. In ten succinct chapters, Marina Warner digs into a rich hoard of fairy tales in their brilliant and fantastical variations, in order to define a genre and evaluate a literary form that keeps shifting through time and history. Her book makes a persuasive case for fairy tale as a crucial repository of human understanding and culture.
