    Abstract: In der politischen Geschichte der Bundesrepublik Deutschland gilt der Asylkompromiss von 1992/93 als höchst kontroverse Entscheidung, die bis heute, rund 20 Jahre später, Auswirkungen auf die Asylmigration hat. In diesem Band analysieren Wissenschaftler das damalige Flüchtlingsgeschehen, die Interessen der politischen Akteure sowie die Europäisierung der Flüchtlingspolitik. Zeitzeugen aus der Politik und Journalisten diskutieren, inwieweit die angestrebten Ziele erreicht wurden oder ob sich die Kritik an der Entscheidung als gerechtfertigt erwiesen hat.Vertreter von Flüchtlingsorganisationen sowie des Bundesamtes für Migration und Flüchtlinge zeigen Perspektiven des Flüchtlingsschutzes auf.
    Abstract: The contributions analyze immigration policy in the context of the asylum compromise and highlight perspectives of European protection of refugees.

    Abstract: Die Begriffe »Grenze« bzw. »Grenzraum« verweisen auf vielfältige Bedeutungsebenen. Dieser Band rückt das Spannungsfeld von klar definierten Raum- und Grenzkonzepten sowie brüchigen, fragmentierten und widersprüchlichen sozialen Praktiken ins Blickfeld und fokussiert zugleich Konflikte, Reibungsflächen und Übergangszonen in »Grenzbereichen«. Exemplarische Fallstudien analysieren (zeit-)historisch relevante Themenfelder wie mehrsprachige/plurikulturelle (Grenz-)Regionen, Migrationen, Geschlechterverhältnisse, nationale und religiöse Identitäten, Handlungsspielräume sowie Erinnerungskulturen.

    Abstract: Transkulturalität ist in Europa nicht nur ein Phänomen von Migration, Globalisierung und Urbanität im 20. Jahrhundert. In den ehemaligen Landimperien Russland, Österreich und Osmanisches Reich gab und gibt es Räume, in denen Menschen mit unterschiedlichen Sprachen, Religionen, Kulturen und Nationalitäten zusammenlebten und ihre Grenzen untereinander aushandelten. Deshalb bemühen Studien zu Integrationsprozessen in Europa heute gerne diese Gebiete als Vorbilder. Dieser Band geht anhand der Fallbeispiele Westukraine und Bosnien den Besonderheiten multiethnischer Imperien sowie den Unterschieden zwischen historisch gewachsenen und aktuellen Phänomenen der Transkulturalität nach.

    Abstract: Die Tropen und ihre Bewohner rufen seit jeher Sehnsüchte, Begierden und Ängste hervor. Heute steht die Sorge um die biologische und kulturelle Vielfalt im Vordergrund. Natürliche Ressourcen und kulturelle Differenz sind auch historisch eng miteinander verwoben. Die Autorin zeigt am Beispiel der indigenen Kari'ña im Südosten Venezuelas, wie der externe Zugriff auf natürliche Ressourcen über Jahrhunderte prägend gewirkt hat - und zwar sowohl auf die Natur selbst wie auf die kulturellen und sozialen Verhältnisse. Dabei werden überraschende Verbindungen sichtbar zwischen Ressourcenperipherie und industriellen Zentren, zwischen produktivem Einschluss und Marginalisierung, zwischen Materialität und Diskurs.

    Abstract: How are youth cultural identities rooted in gender, ethnicity and place? What resources do young people from ethnic minorities use in creating their cultural identities? Drawing upon interdisciplinary research, Ulrike Ziemer's case study demonstrates the different ways in which young people from ethnic minorities respond to the social, political, and cultural transformations of post-Soviet Russia and provides a detailed analysis of how local vs. global relations are experienced outside the West. Relying on extensive ethnographic fieldwork, Ziemer explores the complex processes of identity formation and cultural experiences among young Armenians in Krasnodar krai and young Adyghs in the Republic of Adyghea. Both ethnic groups, Armenians and Adyghs, have a minority status in Russia, yet Adyghs are indigenous to the region while Armenians constitute a diaspora people. Ulrike Ziemer is the first to examine specifically Armenian and Adygh youth identities in the context of everyday life experiences in post-Soviet Russia.

    Abstract: Königen und anderen sakralen Herrschern wurde außergewöhnliches Charisma, Heilskraft und Führungsmacht zugeschrieben - so auch in Afrika. Königtümer gelten bis heute als eine Form politischer Kultur, auch wenn ihre Legitimation in der Moderne ständig in Frage gestellt wird. Seit der strukturellen Krise und dem Rückzug des Staates kehren die Könige von Uganda auf ihre Throne zurück. Einst dem Nationalstaat geopfert, gelten sie nun als Hüter von Traditionen und Kultur - und als »Krisenmanager«. Was aber macht sie heute noch zu Königen? Gelten sie weiterhin als sakral? Wie gestaltet sich die Gesellschaft im modernen Königtum in Afrika und mit welchen Mitteln und Medien regiert der König? Raphaela von Weichs' ethnologische Studie verknüpft auf innovative Weise zentrale Debatten der politischen Anthropologie mit aktuellen Ansätzen der Medien- und Religionsforschung. Sie analysiert die Rückkehr der Könige anhand des ältesten Reiches im Westen Ugandas: Bunyoro-Kitara - und zeigt damit die Dynamik politischer Kultur im modernen Afrika.

    Keywords: Indianer ; Ethnische Identität ; Religiöse Identität ; Stadt ; USA
    Abstract: In contemporary Indian Country, many of the people who identify as "American Indian" fall into the "urban Indian" category: away from traditional lands and communities, in cities and towns wherein the opportunities to live one's identity as Native can be restricted, and even more so for American Indian religious practice and activity.Tradition, Performance, and Religion in Native America: Ancestral Ways, Modern Selves explores a possible theoretical model for discussing the religious nature of urbanized Indians. It uses aspects of contemporary pantribal practices such as the inter-tribal pow wow, substance abuse recovery programs such as the Wellbriety Movement, and political involvement to provide insights into contemporary Native religious identity. Simply put, this book addresses the question what does it mean to be an Indigenous American in the 21st century, and how does one express that indigeneity religiously? It proposes that practices and ideologies appropriate to the pan-Indian context provide much of the foundation for maintaining a sense of aboriginal spiritual identity within modernity. Individuals and families who identify themselves as Native American can participate in activities associated with a broad network of other Native people, in effect performing their Indian identity and enacting the values that are connected to that identity.

    Abstract: Biometric identification and registration systems are being proposed by governments and businesses across the world. Surprisingly they are under most rapid, and systematic, development in countries in Africa and Asia. In this groundbreaking book Keith Breckenridge traces how the origins of the systems being developed in places like India, Mexico, Nigeria and Ghana can be found in a century-long history of biometric government in South Africa, with the South African experience of centralized fingerprint identification unparalleled in its chronological depth and demographic scope. He shows how empire, and particularly the triangular relationship between India, the Witwatersrand and Britain, established the special South African obsession with biometric government, and shaped the international politics that developed around it for the length of the twentieth century. He also examines the political effects of biometric registration systems, revealing their consequences for the basic workings of the institutions of democracy and authoritarianism

    Abstract: Blood is more than a fluid solution of cells, platelets and plasma. It is a symbol for the most basic of human concerns--life, death and family find expression in rituals surrounding everything from menstruation to human sacrifice. Comprehensive in its scope and provocative in its argument, this book examines beliefs and rituals concerning blood in a range of regional and religious contexts throughout human history. Meyer reveals the origins of a wide range of blood rituals, from the earliest surviving human symbolism of fertility and the hunt, to the Jewish bris, and the clitoridectomies given to young girls in parts of Africa. The book also explores how cultural practices influence gene selection and makes a connection with the natural sciences by exploring how color perception influences the human proclivity to create blood symbols and rituals.

    Abstract: Am Tag nach der Wahl von Barack Obama hieß es, dass man James Bond jetzt mit einem Schwarzen besetzen wolle. In Afrika ist man da längst weiter: Der Sheriff kommt aus Ouagadougou, ein Nigerianer spielt George W. Bush, Dürrenmatts »alte Dame« spricht Wolof - und selbst Schwarzenegger wird umbesetzt. Im afrikanischen Film übernehmen schwarze Schauspieler Rollen, die in Europa und den USA weißen Darstellern vorbehalten sind. Die Rollen der Weißen werden zu einem Imaginationsraum, der eine Inszenierung von Planspielen ermöglicht. Cassis Kilian zeigt: Die afrikanischen Regisseure nutzen die Rollen als Verhandlungsplattform, auf der sie den Umgang mit postkolonialen Gegebenheiten, etwa dem kolonialen Erbe, neokolonialen Strukturen oder der Hegemonie westlicher Medien erproben.

    Abstract: Als Quintessenz sowjetischen Alltagslebens stellt die Kommunalwohnung einen »intimen« und liminalen Raum dar, in dem es unweigerlich zur zwischenmenschlichen Interaktion einander fremder Personen unter bedrohlichen, ambivalenten und konfliktreichen Umständen kommt. Anhand von Themen wie Raum-/Zeit(losigkeit), Müll, Magie, Solidarität und Privatheit/Öffentlichkeit betrachtet Sandra Evans das Eigenartige an dieser Lebens- und Erfahrungswelt aus unterschiedlichen literarischen und extraliterarischen Perspektiven, um geistige und soziokulturelle Räume zu erschließen und miteinander in Zusammenhang zu bringen.

    Abstract: In vielen Kulturen gelten Inseln als Orte der Isolation. Dennoch werden sie, insbesondere in der Relationalität des Archipels, auch mit Bewegung und Entgrenzung verbunden. Als erste Aufsatzsammlung im deutschsprachigen Raum nimmt dieser Band Inseln und Archipele als Orte sowie als Gegenstände der Betrachtung und des Wissens unter die Lupe und beleuchtet ihr Auftreten an Fallbeispielen der modernen Diskurs-, Kunst- und Wissensgeschichte. Die Beiträge spannen den Bogen von wirklichen und imaginären Inseln über Inseln als literarische Strukturmerkmale hin zu den Möglichkeiten, das epistemologische Potenzial insularer Konfigurationen für die kulturwissenschaftliche Analyse sozialer, politischer, literarischer und nicht zuletzt ökologischer Kulturen zu bergen.

    Abstract: Nach der Revolution „auf dem Granit“ von 1990 und der Or-angenen Revolution von 2004 hat von November 2013 bis Februar 2014 ein weiterer ukrainischer Volksaufstand, der Euromaidan, das Janukowitsch-Regime weggespült. Die vielschichtigen Probleme der Ukraine sind damit allerdings nicht gelöst. Der revolutionären Euphorie folgte bereits in den ersten Wochen nach der Regierungsneubildung tiefe Ernüchterung. Die russische Annexion der Schwarzmeerhalbinsel Krim im März 2014 hat der dritten postsowjetischen ukrainischen Revolution eine gänzlich neue Dimension verliehen und wird eine erfolgreichen Transition des Landes noch komplizierter machen. Der Weg in Richtung Demokratie und Marktwirtschaft dürfte für die Ukraine lang und hart werden.In dem vorliegenden Band analysieren renommierte Politikwissenschaftler und Publizisten – Ariel Cohen, Ivan Benovic, Paul Flückiger, Gerhard Gnauck, Rudolf Hermann, Wojciech Kononczuk, Taras Kuzio, Ludmila Lutz-Auras, Jakob Mischke, Mykola Rjabtschuk sowie Lilia Shevtsova – die ukrainische Revolution 3.0. Dabei liegt der Fokus unter anderem auf der Entstehung des Euromaidans und dem Verlauf der Revolution, auf geopolitischen und geostrategischen Überlegungen sowie den mittel- und langfristigen politischen, gesellschaftli-chen und ökonomischen Perspektiven der Ukraine.

    Abstract: Der Begriff Globalisierung ist sowohl populär als auch wissenschaftlich interdisziplinär anwendbar und gewissermaßen ein »Zauberwort« für alle gesellschaftlichen Veränderungen der letzten 50 Jahre. Doch wie wird Globalisierung musikalisch erfahrbar und was ist im gegenwärtigen »Zeitalter der Globalisierung« das signifikant »Neue« bezogen auf die Entstehung kultureller Hybridformen? Anhand dreier musikalischer Beispiele unterschiedlicher Kontexte, Szenen und Stilhöhen geht Daniel Siebert einerseits den Differenzen nach, die sich in den Auswirkungen der Globalisierung abzeichnen, und arbeitet andererseits szene- und subkulturübergreifende Mechanismen der Globalisierung heraus.

    Abstract: Das Konzept Fetisch hat in den 500 Jahren seiner Geschichte eine Vielfalt an Bedeutungen angenommen. Gerade deshalb stößt es in verschiedenen Disziplinen auf großes Interesse. Die Beiträge des Bandes fragen aus philosophischen, psychologischen, philologischen, anthropologischen und historischen Perspektiven, inwieweit man »Fetisch« als heuristische Kategorie nutzen kann. Themen wie die christliche und spätantike Bildverehrung, die Objektkulte in afrikanischen und afroamerikanischen Religionen, marxistische und Freud'sche Interpretationen sowie die Rezeption dieser semantischen Linien in aktuellen und historischen Debatten werden dabei in die interdisziplinären Analysen einbezogen.

    Abstract: A case study of one of America's many multi-ethnic border communities, Great Lakes Creoles builds upon recent research on gender, race, ethnicity, and politics as it examines the ways that the old fur trade families experienced and responded to the colonialism of United States expansion. Lucy Murphy examines Indian history with attention to the pluralistic nature of American communities and the ways that power, gender, race, and ethnicity were contested and negotiated in them. She explores the role of women as mediators shaping key social, economic, and political systems, as well as the creation of civil political institutions and the ways that men of many backgrounds participated in and influenced them. Ultimately, Great Lakes Creoles takes a careful look at Native people and their complex families as active members of an American community in the Great Lakes region

    Abstract: Clair Wills's The Best Are Leaving is an important and wide-ranging study of post-war Irish emigrant culture. Wills analyses representations of emigrants from Ireland and of Irish immigrants in Britain across a range of discourses, including official documents, sociological texts, clerical literature, journalism, drama, literary fiction, and popular literature and film. This book, written by a leading critic of Irish literature and culture, discusses topics such as the loss of the finest people from rural Ireland and the destruction of traditional communities; the anxieties of women emigrants and their desire for the benefits of modern consumer society; the stereotype of the drunken Irishman; the charming and authentic country Irish in the city; and the ambiguous meanings of Irish Catholicism in England, which was viewed as both a threatening and civilising force. Wills explores this theme of emigration through writers as diverse as M. J. Molloy, John B. Keane, Tom Murphy, and Edna O'Brien

    Abstract: Bringing together some of the most innovative scholars in both the English School of international relations and East Asian studies, this volume investigates whether or not significant and distinct international social structures exist at the regional level represented by 'East Asia', and what this can tell us about international society both regionally and globally. The book's main finding is that the regional dispute over how its states and peoples should relate to the Western-dominated global international society makes the existence of East Asian international society essentially contested. While this regional-global social dynamic is present in many regions, it is particularly strong in East Asia. This book will appeal to audiences interested in developing English School theory, the study of East Asian international relations and comparative regionalism

    Abstract: This book is about the creation and development of ethnic identity among the Kamba. Comprising approximately one-eighth of Kenya's population, the British considered the Kamba East Africa's premier 'martial race' by the mid-twentieth century: a people with an apparent aptitude for soldiering. The reputation, indeed, was one that Kamba leaders used to leverage financial rewards from the colonial state. However, beneath this simplistic exterior was a maelstrom of argument and debate. Men and women, young and old, Christians and non-Christians, and the elite and poor fought over the virtues they considered worthy of honor in their communities, and which of their visions should constitute 'Kamba' identity. Based on extensive archival research and more than 150 interviews, Ethnicity and Empire is one of the first books to analyze the complex process of building and shaping 'tribe' over more than two centuries. It reveals new ways to think about themes crucial to the history of colonialism: soldiering, 'loyalty', martial race, and indeed the nature of empire itself

    Abstract: Climate Change and the Course of Global History presents the first global study by a historian to fully integrate the earth-system approach of the new climate science with the material history of humanity. Part I argues that geological, environmental, and climatic history explain the pattern and pace of biological and human evolution. Part II explores the environmental circumstances of the rise of agriculture and the state in the Early and Mid-Holocene, and presents an analysis of human health from the Paleolithic through the rise of the state. Part III introduces the problem of economic growth and examines the human condition in the Late Holocene from the Bronze Age through the Black Death. Part IV explores the move to modernity, stressing the emerging role of human economic and energy systems as earth-system agents in the Anthropocene. Supported by climatic, demographic, and economic data, this provides a pathbreaking model for historians of the environment, the world, and science

    Abstract: In this book, Brian Hayden provides the first comprehensive, theoretical work on the history of feasting in pre-industrial societies. As an important barometer of cultural change, feasting is at the forefront of theoretical developments in archaeology. The Power of Feasts chronicles the evolution of the practice from its first perceptible prehistoric presence to modern industrial times. This study explores recurring patterns in the dynamics of feasts as well as linkages to other aspects of culture such as food, personhood, cognition, power, politics, and economics. Analyzing detailed ethnographic and archaeological observations from a wide variety of cultures, including Oceania and Southeast Asia, the Americas, and Eurasia, Hayden illuminates the role of feasts as an invaluable insight into the social and political structures of past societies

    Abstract: This book depicts the emergence of knowledge society across rural and urban spaces and among cross sections of social collectivities in India. It analyses the new economic momentum and socio-cultural milieu as set in motion with the emergence of this society. The ensuing impact on the pre-existing facets of social identity and marginality, and the processes of construction of new social identities therein are studied. This book delineates both the hope and despair, as produced with the arrival of the knowledge society, and identifies the scope and conditions of alternative choice and liberation for the people within the emerging socio-economic order of this society. Rich in empirical data, this monograph will interest students, researchers, teachers, policy planners and social activists

    Abstract: Constructing Race helps unravel the complicated and intertwined history of race and science in America. Tracy Teslow explores how physical anthropologists in the twentieth century struggled to understand the complexity of human physical and cultural variation, and how their theories were disseminated to the public through art, museum exhibitions, books, and pamphlets. In their attempts to explain the history and nature of human peoples, anthropologists persistently saw both race and culture as critical components. This is at odds with a broadly accepted account that suggests racial science was fully rejected by scientists and the public following World War II. This book offers a corrective, showing that both race and culture informed how anthropologists and the public understood human variation from 1900 through the decades following the war. The book offers new insights into the work of Franz Boas, Ruth Benedict, and Ashley Montagu, as well as less well-known figures, including Harry Shapiro, Gene Weltfish, and Henry Field

    Abstract: Die Geschichte schwarzer Modetänze wird bislang meist augenzwinkernd als ansteckendes Tanzfieber verhandelt. Doch nicht mysteriöse Erreger, sondern handfeste politische Konflikte um Bürgerschaft, Arbeitsteilung und Geschlechterverhältnisse waren ihre Grundlage. Die Ästhetik der schwarzen Diaspora machte diese Konflikte auf den Tanzflächen neu verhandelbar. Tanztechnik verbündete sich dabei mit Medientechniken, die ebenfalls mit Bewegung, Wahrnehmung und der Möglichkeit von Verwandlung experimentierten. Astrid Kusser geht dieser Geschichte zwischen New York, Buenos Aires, Kapstadt, Viktoria in Kamerun und Berlin nach.

    Abstract: After a period of intense work on national memory cultures, we are observing a growing interest in memory both as a social and an individual practice. Memory studies tend to focus on a particular field of memory processes, namely those connected with war, persecution and expulsion. In this sense, the memory - or rather the trauma - of the Holocaust is paradigmatic for the entire research field. The Holocaust is furthermore increasingly understood as constitutive of a global memory community which transcends national memories and mediates universal values. The present volume diverges from this perspective by dealing also with everyday subjects of memory. This allows for a more complete view of the interdependencies between public and private memory and, more specifically, public and family memory.

    Abstract: In einer 1908 erschienenen "Kampfschrift gegen die Geräusche unseres Lebens" ereiferte sich der Kulturphilosoph Theodor Lessing über das "Getobe unermesslich anschwellender Riesenstädte, in denen "einer auf des anderen Nervenklaviatur" spiele. Als große Lärmbelästigung empfand er vor allem die Musik: So mokierte Lessing sich über die "grauenhafte Unsitte" der Biermusiken und Promenadenkonzerte oder die "Tyrannei" des Klavierspiels bei geöffnetem Fenster. Derlei Beschwerden sind indes nur die Gegenseite einer sich seit dem frühen 19. Jahrhundert umfassend ausbreitenden urbanen populären Musikkultur, die dieser Band aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven in den Blick nimmt.

    Abstract: A companion to Andrew F. Smith's critically acclaimed and popular Eating History: Thirty Turning Points in the Making of American Cuisine, this volume recounts the individuals, ingredients, corporations, controversies, and myriad events responsible for America's diverse and complex beverage scene. Smith revisits the country's major historical momentscolonization, the American Revolution, the Whiskey Rebellion, the temperance movement, Prohibition, and its repealand he tracks the growth of the American beverage industry throughout the world. The result is an intoxicating encounter with an often overlooked aspect of American culture and global influence. Americans have invented, adopted, modified, and commercialized tens of thousands of beverageswhether alcoholic or nonalcoholic, carbonated or caffeinated, warm or frozen, watery or thick, spicy or sweet. These include uncommon cocktails, varieties of coffee and milk, and such iconic creations as Welch's Grape Juice, Coca-Cola, root beer, and Kool-Aid. Involved in their creation and promotion were entrepreneurs and environmentalists, bartenders and bottlers, politicians and lobbyists, organized and unorganized criminals, teetotalers and drunks, German and Italian immigrants, savvy advertisers and gullible consumers, prohibitionists and medical professionals, and everyday Americans in love with their brew. Smith weaves a wild history full of surprising stories and explanations for such classic slogans as taxation with and without representation;" the lips that touch wine will never touch mine;" and rum, Romanism, and rebellion." He reintroduces readers to Samuel Adams, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, and the colorful John Chapman (Johnny Appleseed), and he rediscovers America's vast literary and cultural engagement with beverages and their relationship to politics, identity, and health.

    Abstract: This edited collection is a major contribution to the current development of a 'material turn' in the social sciences and humanities.  It does so by exploring new understandings of how power is made up and exercised by examining the role of material infrastructures in the organization of state power and the role of material cultural practices in the organization of colonial forms of governance.  A diverse range of historical examples is drawn on in illustrating these concerns - from the role of territorial engineering projects in seventeenth-century France through the development of the postal system in nineteenth-century Britain to the relations between the state and road-building in contemporary Peru, for example.  The colonial contexts examined are similarly varied, ranging from the role of photographic practices in the constitution of colonial power in India and the measurement of the bodies of the colonized in French colonial practices to the part played by the relations between museums and expeditions in the organization of Australian forms of colonial rule.  These specific concerns are connected to major critical re-examination of the limits of the earlier formulations of cultural materialism and the logic of the 'cultural turn'.The collection brings together a group of key international scholars whose work has played a leading role in debates in and across the fields of history, visual culture studies, anthropology, geography, cultural studies, museum studies, and literary studies.

    Abstract: The history of western notions about Islam is of obvious scholarly as well as popular interest today. This book investigates Christian images of the Muslim Middle East, focusing on the period from the Renaissance to the Enlightenment, when the nature of divine as well as human power was under particularly intense debate in the West.Ivan Kalmar explores how the controversial notion of submission to ultimate authority has in the western world been discussed with reference to Islam's alleged recommendation to obey, unquestioningly, a merciless Allah in heaven and a despotic government on earth. He discusses how Abrahamic faiths - Christianity and Judaism as much as Islam - demand devotion to a sublime power, with the faith that this power loves and cares for us, a concept that brings with it the fear that, on the contrary, this power only toys with us for its own enjoyment. For such a power, Kalmar borrows Slavoj Zizek's term "obscene father". He discusses how this describes exactly the western image of the Oriental despot - Allah in heaven, and the various sultans, emirs and ayatollahs on earth - and how these despotic personalities of imagined Muslim society function as a projection, from the West on to the Muslim Orient, of an existential anxiety about sublime power.Making accessible academic debates on the history of Christian perceptions of Islam and on Islam and the West, this book is an important addition to the existing literature in the areas of Islamic studies, religious history and philosophy.

    Abstract: The word "blood" awakens ancient ideas, but we know little about its historical representation in Western cultures. Anthropologists have customarily studied how societies think about the bodily substances that unite them, and the contributors to this volume develop those questions in new directions. Taking a radically historical perspective that complements traditional cultural analyses, they demonstrate how blood and kinship have constantly been reconfigured in European culture. This volume challenges the idea that blood can be understood as a stable entity, and shows how concepts of blood and kinship moved in both parallel and divergent directions over the course of European history.

    Abstract: Homeless explores the efforts of private and public institutions to solve the problem of homelessness by tracing the rise and fall of skid rows in America through the lens of New York's Bowery. Crowded onto skid rows, the homeless lived apart from the middle classes, who saw them as an aberrant population.

    Abstract: There are often blanket claims that the world is facing more problems than ever but there is a lack of empirical data to show where things have deteriorated or in fact improved. In this book, some of the world's leading economists discuss ten problems that have blighted human development, ranging from malnutrition, education, and climate change, to trade barriers and armed conflicts. Costs of the problems are quantified in percent of GDP, giving readers a unique opportunity to understand the development of each problem over the past century and the likely development into the middle of this century, and to compare the size of the challenges. For example: how bad was air pollution in 1900? How has it deteriorated and what about the future? Did climate change cost more than malnutrition in 2010? This pioneering initiative to provide answers to many of these questions will undoubtedly spark debate amongst a wide readership

    Abstract: In Imagining Europe, Chiara Bottici and Benoît Challand explore the formation of modern European identity. Europe has not always been there, although we have been imagining it for quite some time. Even after the birth of a polity called the European Union, the meaning of Europe remained a very much contested topic. What is Europe? What are its boundaries? Is there a specific European identity or is the EU just the name for a group of institutions? This book answers these questions, showing that in Europe's formation, myth and memory, although distinct, are often merged in a common attempt to construct an identity for its present and its future. In a time when Europe is facing an existential crisis, when its meaning is being questioned, Imagining Europe explores a vital and often unacknowledged aspect of the European project
    Description / Table of Contents: Machine generated contents note: Introduction; Part I. Memory and Identity: 1. Europe, identity, and legitimacy; 2. European identity and the politics of remembrance; 3. East and West: divided memories in a united Europe; 4. Myths of Europe; 5. Europe's significant others: the Cold War and beyond; 6.

    Abstract: China's rapid economic growth, modernization and globalization have led to astounding social changes. Contemporary China provides a fascinating portrayal of society and social change in the contemporary People's Republic of China. This book introduces readers to key sociological perspectives, themes and debates about Chinese society. It explores topics such as family life, citizenship, gender, ethnicity, labour, religion, education, class and rural/urban inequalities. It considers China's imperial past, the social and institutional legacies of the Maoist era, and the momentous forces shaping it in the present. It also emphasises diversity and multiplicity, encouraging readers to consider new perspectives and rethink Western stereotypes about China and its people. Real-life case studies illustrate the key features of social relations and change in China. Definitions of key terms, discussion questions and lists of further reading help consolidate learning. Including full-colour maps and photographs, this book offers remarkable insight into Chinese society and social change

    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: The former Soviet empire spanned eleven time zones and contained half the world's forests; vast deposits of oil, gas and coal; various ores; major rivers such as the Volga, Don and Angara; and extensive biodiversity. These resources and animals, as well as the people who lived in the former Soviet Union - Slavs, Armenians, Georgians, Azeris, Kazakhs and Tajiks, indigenous Nenets and Chukchi - were threatened by environmental degradation and extensive pollution. This environmental history of the former Soviet Union explores the impact that state economic development programs had on the environment. The authors consider the impact of Bolshevik ideology on the establishment of an extensive system of nature preserves, the effect of Stalinist practices of industrialization and collectivization on nature, and the rise of public involvement under Khrushchev and Brezhnev, and changes to policies and practices with the rise of Gorbachev and the break-up of the USSR.

    Abstract: "Making Citizens in Africa argues that citizenship creation and expansion is a pivotal part of political contestation in Africa today. Citizenship is a powerful analytical tool with which to approach political life in contemporary Africa because the institutional and structural reforms of the past two decades have been inextricably linked with the battle over the "right to have rights." Professor Lahra Smith's work advances the notion of meaningful citizenship, which refers to the way in which rights are exercised, or the effective practice of citizenship. Using data from Ethiopia and developing a historically informed and empirically nuanced study of language policy and ethnicity and gender identities, this book analyzes the contestation over citizenship that engages the state, social movements, and individuals in substantive ways. By combining original data on language policy in contemporary Ethiopia with detailed historical study and an analytical focus on ethnicity, citizenship, and gender, this work not only brings a fresh approach to Ethiopian political development but also to contemporary citizenship concerns relevant to other parts of Africa"--

    Abstract: People have always lived in families, but what that means has varied dramatically across time and cultures. The family is not a "natural" phenomenon but an institution with a dynamic history stretching 10,000 years into the past. Mary Jo Maynes and Ann Waltner tell the story of this fundamental unit from the beginnings of domestication and human settlement. They consider the codification of rules governing marriage in societies around the ancient world, the changing conceptions of family wrought by the heightened pace of colonialism and globalization in the modern world, and how state policies shape families today. The authors illustrate ways in which differences in gender and generation have affected family relations over the millennia. Cooperation between family members--by birth or marriage--has driven expansions of power and fusions of culture in times and places as different as ancient Mesopotamia, where kings' daughters became priestesses who mediated among the various cultures and religions of their fathers' kingdom, and sixteenth-century Mexico, in which alliances between Spanish men and indigenous women variously allowed for consolidation of colonial power or empowered resistance to colonial rule. But family discord has also driven - and been driven by - historical events such as China's 1919 May Fourth Movement, in which young people seeking an end to patriarchal authority were key participants. Maynes's and Waltner's view of the family as a force of history brings to light processes of human development and patterns of social life and allows for new insights into the human past and present.

    Abstract: From Morocco to Iran and the Black Sea to the Red, Water on Sand rewrites the history of the Middle East and North Africa from the Little Ice Age to the Cold War era. As the first holistic environmental history of the region, it shows the intimate connections between peoples and environments and how these relationships shaped political, economic, and social history in startling and unforeseen ways. Nearly all political powers in the region based their rule on the management and control of natural resources, and nearly all individuals were in constant communion with the natural world. To grasp how these multiple histories were central to the pasts of the Middle East and North Africa, the chapters in this book evidence the power of environmental history to open up new avenues of scholarly inquiry.

    Abstract: Mit dem strikt reglementierten, durch Trinksprüche strukturierten und durch einen Tischmeister geleiteten Bankett namens supra steht eines der beliebtesten Stereotypen georgischer nationaler Identität und ein Klassiker der georgischen Ethnologie im Zentrum dieses Buches. Durch die Einbettung in rezente Performanztheorien, die historische Kontextualisierung des supra im Prozess des nation building sowie die Kombination von Fallstudien mit quantitativen Verfahren kann ein komplexes Bild gezeichnet werden, das bisher als gesichert genommene Annahmen über den Untersuchungsgegenstand sowie Ritualisierung und Performanz im Allgemeinen in Frage stellt.Wie das erste und zweite Kapitel zeigen, wirkt das supra auf zwei zeitlichen Ebenen gleichzeitig. Auf der einen Seite werden präkodierte Verfahrensweisen während der Performanz aktualisiert. Dadurch entsteht Kontinuität und Tradition. Auf der anderen Seite wird durch den konkreten Anlass der Performanz eine Zäsur in der Zeit gesetzt und soziale und individuelle Erinnerung erzeugt. Wesentlich ist dabei, dass formalisierte Sprechakte und Handlungen nicht eins zu eins übernommen, sondern intentional modifiziert werden – und werden sollen. Diese Intentionalisierung des rituellen Prozesses verknüpft individuelle mit kollektiver Identität zu einer unentwirrbaren Einheit und erlaubt den Akteuren das Verfolgen persönlicher Interessen unter Vorspiegelung von Absichtslosigkeit. Das dritte Kapitel liefert einen Aufriss der Geschichte des supra und seiner konstitutiven Elemente. Auf der Grundlage von historischen Quellen wie Reiseberichten, Lexika und literarischen Werken sowie auf dem Weg der etymologischen Spurensuche kommt der Autor zu dem Schluss, dass das supra in seiner heute charakteristischen Form ein Produkt des 19. Jahrhundert darstellt – und somit als ein Beispiel von „erfundener Tradition“ im postsowjetischen Raum gelten kann. Das vierte Kapitel erschließt mit Verfahren aus den Kognitionswissenschaften den Zusammenhang von Männlichkeitsbildern und der Performanz des supra. Dabei werden Besonderheiten der Konstruktion von gender sowie des kulturell geprägten Verständnisses von Bildung in der georgischen Gesellschaft deutlich.

    Abstract: Eine Lektion in Sachen Fußball, die über Philosophie aufklärt. Die Kulturkritik hat lange Zeit den Eindruck verbreitet, was so populär ist wie Fußball, kann mit Hochkultur oder gar Philosophie nichts zu tun haben. Heute kann jedoch schon der aufmerksame Betrachter einer WM lernen, dass es sich in Wahrheit geradezu umgekehrt verhält und der Zeitgeist, frei nach Hegel, im Fußball eine für alle fassliche Gestalt angenommen hat. Das 19. Jahrhundert war noch vom Liberalismus der Engländer und der persönlichen Durchsetzungskraft der einzelnen Spieler geprägt und Fußball erinnerte noch lange Zeit an Rugby. Im 20. Jahrhundert setzte sich dagegen mit der deutschen Erfindung des Libero eine geniale Ingenieurskunst durch, die dem Spiel aus dem Geistesblitz eines Spielmachers heraus seine unnachahmliche Gestalt gab. Und schließlich sehen wir heute mit dem Wirken der holländischen Trainer ein Streben nach Hocheffizienz am Werke, das auf die Bildung komplexer Netzwerkstrukturen setzt. John Stuart Mill, Martin Heidegger und Niklas Luhmann haben hierzu die Stichworte geliefert in einer Klarheit, die ihnen selbst nicht bewusst sein konnte.

    Abstract: This study is a reinterpretation of nineteenth-century Mexican American history, examining Mexico's struggle to secure its northern border with repatriates from the United States, following a war that resulted in the loss of half Mexico's territory. Responding to past interpretations, Jose Angel Hernández suggests that these resettlement schemes centred on developments within the frontier region, the modernisation of the country with loyal Mexican American settlers, and blocking the tide of migrations to the United States to prevent the depopulation of its fractured northern border. Through an examination of Mexico's immigration and colonisation policies as they developed in the nineteenth century, this book focuses primarily on the population of Mexican citizens who were 'lost' after the end of the Mexican American War of 1846–8 until the end of the century

    Abstract: This volume examines human sexuality as an intrinsic element in the interpretation of complex colonial societies. While archaeological studies of the historic past have explored the dynamics of European colonialism, such work has largely ignored broader issues of sexuality, embodiment, commemoration, reproduction and sensuality. Recently, however, scholars have begun to recognize these issues as essential components of colonization and imperialism. This book explores a variety of case studies, revealing the multifaceted intersections of colonialism and sexuality. Incorporating work that ranges from Phoenician diasporic communities of the eighth century to Britain's nineteenth-century Australian penal colonies to the contemporary Maroon community of Brazil, this volume changes the way we understand the relationship between sexuality and colonial history

    Abstract: Interest in Shi'a Islam has increased greatly in recent years, although Shi'ism in the Indian subcontinent has remained largely underexplored. Focusing on the influential Shi'a minority of Lucknow and the United Provinces, a region that was largely under Shi'a rule until 1856, this book traces the history of Indian Shi'ism through the colonial period toward independence in 1947. Drawing on a range of new sources, including religious writing, polemical literature and clerical biography, it assesses seminal developments including the growth of Shi'a religious activism, madrasa education, missionary activity, ritual innovation and the politicization of the Shi'a community. As a consequence of these significant religious and social transformations, a Shi'a sectarian identity developed that existed in separation from rather than in interaction with its Sunni counterparts. In this way the painful birth of modern sectarianism was initiated, the consequences of which are very much alive in South Asia today

    Abstract: Ethnic Patriotism and the East African Revival shows how, in the era of African political independence, cosmopolitan Christian converts struggled with East Africa's patriots over the definition of culture and community. The book traces the history of the East African Revival, an evangelical movement that spread through much of eastern and central Africa. Its converts offered a subversive reading of culture, disavowing their compatriots and disregarding their obligations to kin. They earned the ire of East Africa's patriots, who worked to root people in place as inheritors of ancestral wisdom. This book casts religious conversion in a new light: not as an inward reorientation of belief, but as a political action that opened up novel paths of self-narration and unsettled the inventions of tradition

    Abstract: "Man muss sich erinnern. Aber woran müssen wir uns erinnern? Nur, wie sechs Millionen Juden gestorben sind? Oder wie sie gelebt haben?" Die erste Dokumentation über die israelitische Kultusgemeinde Forth legt den Fokus auf das gemeinsame Leben und stellt mit reichem historischen Bildmaterial und Zeitzeugenberichten die Hausbauten, die Handelstätigkeit, die (un)sichtbaren Überreste der Synagoge, der Judenschule und Mikwen, sowie Anekdoten im kollektiven Gedächtnis der Dorfbewohner vor. Die frühe Parteinahme des Dorfes, die brutale Vertreibung der jüdischen Mitbewohner in der Pogromnacht, die rechtswidrige Arisierung und moralische Schuld verstellten die Betrachtung eines über 350-jährigen christlich-jüdischen Zusammenlebens bisher. Aber die Zeit drängt. "Fragt uns, wir sind die Letzten." (Albert Kimmelstiel, Forther Überlebender der Shoa 2008)

    Abstract: Die Geschichte der italienischen Arbeitsmigranten in der Bundesrepublik wurde bisher vielfach als die Geschichte von Opfern erzählt. Dabei spielten die Wünsche und Lebenskonzepte der Italienerinnen und Italiener selbst vielfach keine Rolle. Dieses Buch erzählt anhand der italienischen Migranten in Wolfsburg - der einstmals größten italienischen Community nördlich der Alpen - die Geschichte der "Gastarbeiter" neu. So wird deutlich, wie sehr das Leben vieler Italiener auf die Rückkehr konzentriert war, wie vielmals die süditalienische Herkunft das Leben und die Arbeit in Deutschland prägte und wie relativ einflusslos die Politik gegenüber den Migrationsprozessen war. Das Buch stellt dabei ein brisantes Thema ins Zentrum: Die Migration nach Deutschland und die Möglichkeiten von Integration.

    Abstract: This book examines the social transformation wrought by the abolition of slavery in 1834 in South Africa's Cape Colony. It pays particular attention to the effects of socioeconomic and cultural changes in the way both freed slaves and dominant whites adjusted to the new world. It compares South Africa's relatively peaceful transition from a slave to a non-slave society to the bloody experience of the US South after abolition, analyzing rape hysteria in both places as well as the significance of changing concepts of honor in the Cape. Finally, the book examines the early development of South Africa's particular brand of racism, arguing that abolition, not slavery itself, was a causative factor; although racist attitudes were largely absent while slavery persisted, they grew incrementally but steadily after abolition, driven primarily by whites' need for secure, exploitable labor

    Abstract: Long description: In Analogie zu den stadträumlichen Inszenierungen jüdischer Kultur, den »Jewish Spaces«, gewinnnen zunehmend auch »Gypsy Spaces« an Gestalt. Roma-Festivals sind populär, während gleichzeitig die Angst vor einer »Roma-Invasion« grassiert. Monica Rüthers geht der Entstehungsgeschichte und den Funktionen dieser neuen Folklore im gegenwärtigen Europa nach. Sie vergleicht das jüdische Kulturfestival in Krakau mit der Zigeunerwallfahrt in Saintes-Maries-de-la-Mer und passt beide Räume in die kulturellen Topografien Europas ein. Die Analyse dieser Anlässe erlaubt die Frage, ob solche Räume auch emanzipatorisches Potenzial entfalten können. Es zeigt sich: Im Umgang mit dem Fremden spiegelt sich der Prozess der europäischen Integration. - Biographical note: Monica Rüthers ist Professorin für Osteuropäische Geschichte an der Universität Hamburg. Ihre aktuellen Forschungsinteressen umfassen Topografien sowjetischer Kindheiten sowie Bildwelten im Sozialismus. - Quote: Besprochen in:Gemeindeblatt Jüdisches Berlin, 1 (2013)Neue Zürcher Zeitung, 19.03.2013Europäische Rundschau, 41/1 (2013), Joana Radzynerhttp://aric.de, 6 (2013), M.

    Abstract: Since the 1990s, the Indigenous movement worldwide has become increasingly relevant to research in India, re-shaping the terms of engagement with Adivasi (Indigenous/tribal) peoples and their pasts. This book responds to the growing need for an inter-disciplinary re-assessment of Tribal studies in postcolonial India and defines a new agenda for Adivasi studies. It considers the existing conceptual and historical parameters of Tribal studies, as a means of addressing new approaches to histories of de-colonization and patterns of identity-formation that have become visible since national independence. Contributors address a number of important concerns, including the meaning of Indigenous studies in the context of globalised academic and political imaginaries, and the possibilities and pitfalls of constructions of indigeneity as both a foundational and a relational concept. A series of short editorial essays provide theoretical clarity to issues of representation, resistance, agency, recognition and marginality. The book is an essential read for students and scholars of Indian Sociology, Anthropology, History, Cultural Studies and Indigenous studies.

    Abstract: In today's world where other cultures are being tapped to a greater extent than ever before, the processes of mixing and matching are especially relevant in making sense of Russia. Not only do borrowing and assimilation, interaction between the familiar and the alien, constitute a venerable tradition in Russian culture, but during the two last post-Soviet decades a notable Western influence has become apparent. This book provides means for understanding Russianness in this new situation. By bringing together Russian and Western, eminent and younger scholars it provides insights both from inside and outside. By extending its perspectives to three fields - linguistics, cultural studies, and social sciences - it covers different dimensions of creative misunderstandings , hybrids, tensions and other modes of adaptation in the Russian culture. By offering concrete case studies it avoids easy stereotypes, deconstructs clichés, problematizes accepted truths, and identifies points of interaction between Russia and the West.

Auf der methodischen Grundlage einer Analyse popularer Medientexte entwickelt sich so eine spannende und materialreiche Geschichte des Diabolischen in der Rockmusik von den "Teufelspakten" des Delta Blues über das Spiel mit populärer Religiosität der Beatles bis zu den satanistischen Black-Metal-Szenen der modernen Heavy-Metal-Kultur.

    Abstract: Migration is at the heart of Asian history. For centuries migrants have tracked the routes and seas of their ancestors - merchants, pilgrims, soldiers and sailors - along the Silk Road and across the Indian Ocean and the China Sea. Over the last 150 years, however, migration within Asia and beyond has been greater than at any other time in history. Sunil S. Amrith's engaging and deeply informative book crosses a vast terrain, from the Middle East to India and China, tracing the history of modern migration. Animated by the voices of Asian migrants, it tells the stories of those forced to flee from war and revolution, and those who left their homes and their families in search of a better life. These stories of Asian diasporas can be joyful or poignant, but they all speak of an engagement with new landscapes and new peoples

    Abstract: This original book brings a fascinating and accessible new account of the tumultuous history of sexuality in Europe from the waning of Victorianism to the collapse of Communism and the rise of European Islam. Although the twentieth century is often called 'the century of sex' and seen as an era of increasing liberalization, Dagmar Herzog instead emphasizes the complexities and contradictions in sexual desires and behaviours, the ambivalences surrounding sexual freedom, and the difficulties encountered in securing sexual rights. Incorporating the most recent scholarship on a broad range of conceptual problems and national contexts, the book investigates the shifting fortunes of marriage and prostitution, contraception and abortion, queer and straight existence. It analyzes sexual violence in war and peace, the promotion of sexual satisfaction in fascist and democratic societies, the role of eugenics and disability, the politicization and commercialization of sex, and processes of secularization and religious renewal

    Abstract: This book explores public opinion about being and becoming American, and its implications for contemporary immigration debates. It focuses on the causes and consequences of two aspects of American identity: how people define being American and whether people think of themselves primarily as American rather than as members of a panethnic or national origin group. Importantly, the book evaluates the claim – made by scholars and pundits alike – that all Americans should prioritize their American identity instead of an ethnic or national origin identity. It finds that national identity within American democracy can be a blessing or a curse. It can enhance participation, trust, and obligation. But it can be a curse when perceptions of deviation lead to threat and resentment. It can also be a curse for minorities who are attached to their American identity but also perceive discrimination

    Keywords: Klimaänderung ; Gesellschaft ; Aufsatzsammlung
    Abstract: As the time-scales of natural change accelerate and converge with those of society, Routledge Handbook of Climate Change and Society takes the reader into largely uncharted territory in its exploration of anthropogenic climate change. Current material is used to highlight the global impact of this issue, and the necessity for multidisciplinary and global social science research and teaching to address the problem. The book is multidisciplinary and worldwide in scope, with contributors spanning specialisms including agro-forestry, economics, environmentalism, ethics, human geography, international relations, law, politics, psychology, sociology and theology. Their global knowledge is reflected in the content of the text, which encompasses chapters on American, European and Chinese policies, case studies of responses to disasters and of the new technological and lifestyle alternatives that are being adopted, and the negotiations leading up to the Copenhagen conference alongside a preface assessing its outcomes. Starting with an initial analysis by a leading climatologist, key issues discussed in the text include recent findings of natural scientists, social causation and vulnerability, media and public recognition or scepticism, and the merits and difficulties of actions seeking to mitigate and adapt. This accessible volume utilizes a wealth of case studies, explains technical terms and minimises the use of acronyms associated with the subject, making it an essential text for advanced undergraduates, postgraduate students and researchers in the social sciences.
