    Abstract: Amid the variety of human experiences, the comic occupies a distinctive place. It is simultaneously ubiquitous, relative, and fragile. In this book, Peter L. Berger reflects on the nature of the comic and its relationship to other human experiences. Originally published in 1997, the second edition includes a new preface reflecting on Berger's work in the intervening years, particularly on the relationship between humor and modernity.

    Keywords: Jugend ; Bevölkerungsentwicklung ; Sozialer Wandel ; Tadschikistan
    Abstract: Most of the Muslim societies of the world have entered a demographic transition from high to low fertility, and this process is accompanied by an increase in youth vis-a-vis other age groups. Political scientists and historians have debated whether such a "youth bulge" increases the potential for conflict or whether it represents a chance to accumulate wealth and push forward social and technological developments. This book introduces the discussion about youth bulge into social anthropology using Tajikistan, a post-Soviet country that experienced civil war in the 1990s, which is in the middle of such a demographic transition. Sophie Roche develops a social anthropological approach to analyze demographic and political dynamics, and suggests a new way of thinking about social change in youth bulge societies.

    Keywords: Risiko ; Soziologie ; Theorie ; Technologie ; Gesellschaft
    Abstract: The question as to whether we are now entering a risk society has become a key debate in contemporary social theory. Risk and Technological Culture presents a critical discussion of the main theories of risk from Ulrich Becks foundational work to that of his contemporaries such as Anthony Giddens and Scott Lash and assesses the extent to which risk has impacted on modern societies. In this discussion van Loon demonstrates how new technologies are transforming the character of risk and examines the relationship between technological culture and society through substantive chapters on topics such as waste, emerging viruses, communication technologies and urban disorders. In so doing this innovative new book extends the debate to encompass theorists such as Bruno Latour, Donna Haraway, Gilles Deleuze, Felix Guattari and Jean-François Lyotard.

    Abstract: This book provides a general introduction to the history of Jewish life in 14th century Asia at the time of the conqueror Tamerlane (Timur). The author defines who are the Central Asian Jews, and describes the attitudes towards the Jews, and the historical consequences of this relationship with Tamerlane. Left alone to live within a stable empire, the Jews prospered under Tamerlane. In founding an empire, Tamerlane had delivered Central Asia from the last Mongols, and brought the nations of Transoxonia within the orbit of Persian civilisation. The Central Asian Jews accepted this spirit and preserved it until modern times in their language and culture.

    Abstract: For the authorities in medieval Europe, dissent struck at the roots of an ordered, settled world. It was to be crushed - initially by reason and argument, eventually by torture. Jeffrey Richards examines the wretched lives of heretics, witches, Jews, lepers and homosexuals and uncovers a common motive for their persecution: sexual aberrance.

    Keywords: Ethnische Beziehungen ; Sozialer Wandel ; USA
    Abstract: In a provocative and controversial analysis, Wilbur C. Rich's The Post-Racial Society is Here conclusively demonstrates that nation is in midst of a post-racial society. Yet many Americans are skeptical of this fundamental social transformation. The failure of recognition is related to the remnants of the previous race-based society. Recognizing the advent of a post-racial society is not to gainsay recurrent racial incidents or a denial of the socio-economic gap between the races. Using the findings of historians and social scientists, this book outlines why the construction and deconstruction of the race-based society was such a difficult and daunting enterprise. Starting from the nation's inception, Rich examines how the nation elites used racial language, separate schools, and the media to divide Americans. After World War II, the nation used U.S. Supreme Court rulings and the Congressional passage of Civil Rights laws to dismantle the institutional support for racial segregation and discrimination. The black Civil Rights Movement facilitated and consolidated the movement toward socio-political inclusion of African Americans. Rich alerts the reader to the unprecedented progress made and why the forces of the new global economy demand that we move faster to make society more inclusive. This thought-provocking book should interest scholars of sociology, Africana Studies, American studies and African American politics.

    Abstract: Asian Popular Culture in Transition examines contemporary consumption practices in South Korea, China, India, and Japan, and both updates and extends popular culture studies of the region. Through an interdisciplinary lens, this collection of essays explores how recent advances and shifts in information technologies and globalization have impacted cultural markets, fashion, the digital generation, mobile culture, femininity, matrimonial advertising, and a film actress' image and performance. Drawing upon a diverse range of sources and methods including historical research, content analysis, anthropological observation, textual analyses, and interviews, Asian Popular Culture in Transition makes a significant contribution to this growing area of research. Given its broad range of countries, theories, and approaches, this book will be of great interest to students and scholars of Asian studies, cultural studies, media and communication studies, and gender studies.

    Abstract: Highlighting the seminal role of German Jewish intellectuals and ideologues in forming and transforming the modern Jewish world, this volume analyzes the political roads taken by German Jewish thinkers; the impact of the Holocaust on the Central and East European Jewish intelligentsia; and the conundrum of modern Jewish identity. Several of German Jewry's most outstanding figures such as Scholem, Strauss, and Kohn are discussed. Inspired by Steven E. Aschheim's work, several contributors focus on the fraught relationship between German and East European Jews (the so-called Ostjuden) and between German Jews and their non-Jewish neighbors. More generally, this book examines how Central European Jewish thinkers reacted to the terrible crises of the twentieth century-to war, genocide, and the existential threat to the very existence of the Jewish people. It is essential reading for those interested in the triumphs and tragedies of modern European Jewry.

    Abstract: This comparative study examines what kinds of societal forces shape European relationships towards democratic political life in contemporary Europe. Drawing on data from the European Social Survey (ESS), the book develops a theoretical perspective on the relationship between social structure and democracy and links this to research on social capital and political behaviour. The authors explore the impact of individual social characteristics on a broad range of the Europeans' political attitudes and behaviours. They investigate how the social position of the individuals in the European societies contributes to the explanation of the national and cross-national patterns of political engagement, addressing trust in the social and political environment, life satisfaction, party preferences and attitudes towards migration and migrants.Providing detailed descriptions of the similarities and differences among the various European publics at the beginning of the 21st century, Society and Democracy in Europe will be of strong interest to students and scholars of European politics, political participation and political sociology.

    Abstract: The fragility of the liberal democratic state after 1789 is illustrated in the history of the European Jews from the French Revolution to the Holocaust. Emancipation and hope of emancipation amongst the European Jewish population created a plethora of Jewish identities and forms of patriotism. This book takes the original approach of studying European Jewish patriotism as a whole, with particular attention given to creative literature. Despite their growing awareness of racial, genocidal hatred, most European Jews between 1789 and 1939 tended to be patriotic toward the countries of their citizenship, an attitude reflected in the literature of the time. Yet, the common assumption among emancipated Jews that anti-Semitism would fade in a world governed by reason proved false. For millions of European Jews, the infinite possibilities they associated with emancipation came to nothing. The Jewish experience exposed many of the weaknesses and failings of the liberal multicultural state, and demonstrated that its survival cannot be taken for granted but is dependent on vigilance and struggle. By focusing on Jewish patriotism from 1789-1939, this book explores the nature of the liberal state, how it can fail, and the conditions needed for its survival.

    Abstract: The book aims at reframing the discussion on the "public sphere," usually understood as the place where the public opinion is formed, through rational discussion. The aim of this book is to give an account of this rationality, and its serious shortcomings, examining the role of the media and the confusing of public roles and personal identity. It focuses in particular on the role of the theatrical and comical in the historical development of the public sphere, and in this manner reformulating definitions of common sense, personal identity, and culture.

    Abstract: Just what is a generation? And why, if at all, does it matter? This book asks what generation means to ordinary people, arguing that generation is real and it matters, but not in the ways that we think. Generations are not groups of people who can be categorized and attributed with static, immutable and universal characteristics, nor are they reducible to cohorts, as is the tendency in much social research. Rather, the book reveals generation to be a social phenomenon and a mechanism of social change - as a constellation of ideas and discourses that explains what happens when ideas and ideals collide, and why some discourses flourish and take hold at particular times.

    Abstract: Die jüdische Traditionsbildung hat über Jahrtausende und über Kontinente hinweg die Vorstellung einer ungebrochenen Existenz des Judentums erzeugt. Alfred Bodenheimer legt die Wurzeln dieser außerordentlichen Traditionsbildung frei und zeigt, wie sich diese Vorstellung bis heute zu erhalten vermochte. Ausgehend von dem Konzept des Trauma-Transports macht er deutlich, dass dem ungebrochenen Erzählfluss der jüdischen Tradition immer ein Gebrochenes zugeordnet ist, die jüdische Geschichte sich als Krisengeschichte herausstellt. Der Akt des Erzählens erweist sich dabei als Integrationsfigur, die das Schicksal von Exil und Diaspora vermittelt und mit Sinn füllt. Der Autor untersucht in vier zusammenhängenden Essays die Veränderung dieses Erzählens und die Gefährdungen jüdischer Traditionsbildung vom biblischen Zeitalter bis in die Gegenwart, die nach der Shoah und der Gründung des Staates Israel vor völlig neue Herausforderungen gestellt ist.   Biographische Informationen Alfred Bodenheimer, geb. 1965, Professor für Religionsgeschichte und Literatur des Judentums an der Universität Basel, daneben bis 2008 Professor für Hebräische und Jüdische Literatur an der Hochschule für Jüdische Studien in Heidelberg und von 2005 - 2008 deren Rektor. Veröffentlichungen u.a.: In den Himmel gebissen. Aufsätze zur europäisch-jüdischen Literatur (2011).

    Abstract: Ulrike Kolb erzählt die Geschichte einer jüdisch-deutschen Liebe, die sich immer wieder gegen die Nachwirkungen der Vergangenheit behauptet und am Ende doch an den ganz normalen Konflikten zu zerbrechen droht. Zärtlich und melancholisch blickt Carla auf ihre Ehe zurück, die als amour fou in Israel beginnt. So stark und impulsiv die Gefühle Carla und Yoram verbinden, so schmerzhaft schlagen ihnen bald Skepsis und Zweifel entgegen. Kritisch beäugen seine israelischen Freunde die junge Deutsche, und auch Yorams Mutter Aliza ist wenig begeistert von der Wahl ihres Sohnes. In Deutschland geht es dem jungen Paar kaum anders: Die viel und stolz zitierte "Aufarbeitung der Vergangenheit" scheint an der polierten Oberfläche der Realität abgeperlt zu sein. Aber die Gefährdungen des Glücks kommen nicht nur von außen. Yoram, dem leidenschaftlichen Architekten, gelingt es nicht immer, seine Gefühle von den Albträumen der Kindheit zu lösen. Und auch die drei Frauen in seinem Leben, Aliza, Carla und die Tochter Vered, haben ihre eigenen Erinnerungen, Ängste und Hoffnungen. Am Ende schlägt Vered entschieden den Bogen in die Zukunft.   Biographische Informationen Ulrike Kolb, geb. 1942, lebt als freie Schriftstellerin in Frankfurt am Main. Veröffentlichungen u.a.: Roman ohne Held (1996);Frühstück mit Max (2000); Schönes Leben (2002); Diese eine Nacht (2003).   Rezension Platz 7 der SWR-Bestenliste September 2009 "Kolbs Erzählen ist die Beschwörung einer schöpferischen Kraft der Sprache gegen ein Verschweigen und Verstummen, die doch stets die drohende Verzweiflung im Blick hält." (Beate Tröger, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, 1.Oktober 2009) "Der Familienroman, der vier Generationen umfasst, geht aus glaubhafter biografischer Erfahrung hervor, szenisch, episodisch, mitreißend und von hoher Authentizitätssuggestion. Ein mutiges Buch, bedrückend und schön." (Hubert...
    Abstract: Winkels, Börsenblatt, 22.10.09) "Ulrike Kolb schreibt über eine amour fou - als hätte sie nie etwas andres getan. Sie schreibt leicht, und zart, als würde diese Liebe verschwinden, wenn wir im Buch eine Seite umblättern." (Rachel Gehlhoff, MDR, 12.10.2009) "Sprachlich und stilistisch klar und gekonnt erzählt, liegt hier ein wichtiges Buch vor mit Themen, die berühren und nicht zuletzt eine wunderbare Liebesgeschichte." (Bettina Wolf, Der evangelische Buchberater, 4/2009) "Kolb lässt Carla das alles in einem liebevollen Rückblick erzählen. Sie wählt eine feine, zurückhaltende Sprache. Ob es immer so ist, dass ein Kind aus einer solchen mutigen Verbindung so souverän mit den Lasten der Eltern umgeht wie Vered, ist nicht sicher. Ulrike Kolbs Roman weckt keine anderen Hoffnungen, als Literatur sie verheißen kann - das ist aber nicht wenig!" (Saarbrücker Zeitung, 6.11.2009) "Nichts ist hier plakativ, alles wirkt in hohem Grad authentisch, und so ist Ulrike Kolb mit "Yoram" ein so feiner wie eindringlicher Roman gelungen, der an tiefsitzenden Missverständnissen rüttelt." (Claudia Kramatschek, NDR, 4.12.2009) "(...) erzählt Ulrike Kolb mit soviel Empathie, diskreter Einfühlungsgabe und Talent zur eleganten Umschiffung aller gängigen deutsch-jüdischen Klischees, dass man zu keinem Moment das Gefühl hat, hier würde nicht auch das Leben selbst in all seinen Möglichkeiten abgebildet." (Jüdische Zeitung, Dezember 2009) "Im deutschsprachigen Raum sind literarisch überzeugende Bücher, die eine deutsch-israelische Liebesbegegnung erzählen, rar. Ulrike Kolb hat nun den Roman Yoram vorgelegt, der mit hoher Sensibiliät und sicherem erzählerischem Können die Abgründe, Gefährdungen wie auch den existenziellen Mut zweier Menschen gestaltet, die eine Ehe eingehen, in die die Folgen der Verfolgung der NS-Zeit hineinwirken. Die Geschichte zwischen einem Israeli und einer
    Abstract: Deutschen wird durch sie entscheidend mitbestimmt. Von gleichem Gewicht erweisen sich mehr als sechzig Jahre tabuisierte deutsche Familiengeheimnisse." (Orientierung Nr. 23, 73. Jahrgang, 15.12.2009) "Ulrike Kolb ist eine großartige Erzählerin, die eindrucksvolle Bilder und Stimmungen erzeugt, in denen das Leben fließt. Und sie zeigt, wie die Grausamkeiten des Naziregimes noch Jahrzehnte später das Schicksal einzelner Menschen bestimmt." (Ida Dehmer, Bücherschau, Zeitschrift für Betriebs- und Gewerkschaftsbibliotheken, 1/2010) "Was auf den letzten Seiten des Buches klar wird: Es handelt nicht vom Holocaust. Es handelt von unserer Gegenwart, in der der Holocaust langsam aber sicher vergessen wird. Genauer gesagt, die Leute glauben, sich das nun endlich leisten zu können. Gegen dieses Vergessen ist kein Kraut gewachsen. Aber es gibt Menschen, bei denen das Kraut "Vergessen" nicht wirkt. Zu ihnen gehört Ulrike Kolb." (Olga Martynova, literaturkritik.de, September 2010).

Waehrend die gegenwaertigen integrationspolitischen Debatten und der interreligioese Dialog noch von einer Vielzahl von Vorurteilen und Missverstaendnissen bestimmt werden, enthaelt dieses Buch eine differenzierte und tiefgreifende Sichtweise auf historische und aktuelle Fragen in Bezug auf die Integration des Islams in die Gesellschaften des Westens. Dabei kommen sowohl Muslime als auch Nichtmuslime zu Wort und geben neue Anstoesse fuer einen vielschichtigen wissenschaftlichen Austausch.

    Abstract: Foundations of Critical Media and Information Studies lays down foundations for the analysis of media, information, and information technology in 21st century information society, as well as introducing the theoretical and empirical tools necessary for the critical study of media and information. Christian Fuchs shows the role classical critical theory can play for analyzing the information society and the information economy, as well as analyzing the role of the media and the information economy in economic development, the new imperialism, and the new economic crisis. The book critically discusses transformations of the Internet ('web 2.0'), introduces the notion of alternative media as critical media, and shows the critical role media and information technology can play in contemporary society.  This book provides an excellent introduction to the study of media, information technology, and information society, making it a valuable reference tool for both undergraduate and postgraduate students of subjects such as Media Studies, Sociology of Media, Social Theory, and New Media.

    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.

    Abstract: This revised edition of a now classic text includes a new introduction by Henry Jenkins, explaining 'Why Fiske Still Matters' for today's students, followed by a discussion between former Fiske students Kevin Glynn, Jonathan Gray, and Pamela Wilson on the theme of 'Reading Fiske and Understanding the Popular'. Both underline the continuing relevance of this foundational text in the study of popular culture.Beneath the surface of the cultural artifacts that surround us - shopping malls, popular music, the various forms of television - lies a multitude of meanings and ways of using them, not all of them those intended by their designers. In Reading the Popular, John Fiske analyzes these popular "texts" to reveal both their explicit and implicit (and often opposite) meanings and uses, and the social and political dynamics they reflect.Fiske's "readings" of these cultural phenomena highlight the conflicting responses they evoke: Madonna may be promoted as a "boy toy", but young girls feel empowered by her ability to toy with boys; Chicago's Sears Tower may be a massive expression of capitalist domination, but it can also allow one to tower over the city. In each case it is the latter option that interests him, for this is where Fiske locates popular culture: it is the point at which people take the goods offered them by industrial capitalism (however oppressive they may seem) and turn them to their own creative, and even subversive, uses.Designed as a companion to Understanding Popular Culture, Reading the Popular gives the lie to theories that portray a mass audience that mindlessly consumes every product it is offered. Fiske's acute perception and lively wit combine to provide a truly democratic vision of popular culture, one that respects the awareness and the agency of the people who make it.

    Abstract: The first book to provide an introduction to the new theory of Net Locality and the profound effect on individuals and societies when everything is located or locatable. Describes net locality as an emerging form of location awareness central to all aspects of digital media, from mobile phones, to Google Maps, to location-based social networks and games, such as Foursquare and facebook. Warns of the threats these technologies, such as data surveillance, present to our sense of privacy, while also outlining the opportunities for pro-social developments. Provides a theory of the web in the context of the history of emerging technologies, from GeoCities to GPS, Wi-Fi, Wiki Me, and Google Android.

    Abstract: In 1931, Toronto's Jews could be found in areas as varied as the stalls of squawking chickens and vegetable vendors in Kensington Market and grand houses in far north Forest Hill. Over the course of the 1930s and 1940s, they were transformed into an organized and cohesive community. Imposing Their Will examines the achievements of Toronto's Jewish community leaders and the organizational infrastructure they established during the volatile years of the Depression and the Second World War.

    Abstract: Many people think of Jews as victims of a particular sort of racism, not as active participants in the development of racial thinking in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Yet many Jews did take up racial discourse and used it to analyze Judaism, Jewish history, and the contemporary condition of world Jewry. Race discourse generated by Jews was in part apologetic, a response to racial antisemitism; however, it also served other political and ideological needs. Focusing primarily on works written at the height of the racial hygiene and eugenics movements in Europe and North America, this diverse anthology shows how Jewish scholars and popular writers in Europe, North America, and Palestine developed racial interpretations of Judaism and Jewish history, thereby raising fascinating and thorny issues about the nature and history of racial discourse in Europe and America. Designed for class adoption, the volume contains annotations and an introduction by the editor.

    Abstract: Hauptbeschreibung Die Generation hat alle Aussichten, im 21. Jahrhundert die zentrale Kategorie der Verteilung von Einkommen, Vermögen und Status zu werden, nachdem im 19. Jahrhundert die Klasse und im späten 20. Jahrhundert das Geschlecht die Verteilungsdebatten beherrschten. Die Auseinandersetzung um die Verteilungsgerechtigkeit zwischen den Generationen begann mit besorgten Fragen nach der Zukunft der Alterssicherung. Sie hat sich inzwischen aber auf alle Lebensalter ausgeweitet. Die intergenerative Verteilung wird als Generationenvertrag bezeichnet. Das Ziel des Generationenvertrages ist die Stabilisierung des Lebenseinkommens. Die mittlere Generation sorgt mit ihrer Erwerbs- und Familientätigkeit für die Jugend, die noch nicht für sich selbst sorgen kann, und für die ältere Generation, die der Unterstützung bedarf. Der Verfasser zeigt drei historische Modelle des Generationenvertrages, den traditionellen, den bürgerlichen und den modernen Generationenvertrag.   Inhaltsverzeichnis Inhaltsübersicht: Erstes Kapitel: Eine neue Dimension der Einkommensverteilung: Handlungskompetenz im Lebenslauf - Verteilungsmodelle - Die Gestaltung des Lebenseinkommens - Zweites Kapitel: Abschied von der alten Welt: Komplementäre Lebenswege - Jugend - Beruf - Familie - Alter - Drittes Kapitel: Die Konstituierung des bürgerlichen Generationenvertrages: Der doppelte Standardlebenslauf - Jugend - Beruf - Die bürgerlich Familie - Alter - Viertes Kapitel: Reform und Krise: Stabilisierung und Destabilisierung des Lebenslaufs - Jugend - Beruf - Die Familie zwischen Reform und Repression - Alter - Fünftes Kapitel: Der bürgerliche Generationenvertrag im Sozialstaat: Die Spätzeit des bürgerlichen Generationenvertrages - Jugend - Beruf - Familie - Alter - Sechstes Kapitel: Ein Umweg: Der asymmetrische Standardlebenslauf - Jugend - Beruf - Familie - Alter - Siebtes Kapitel:...

Für mich besonders eindrucksvoll gelungen erscheint der Nachweis einer sozialen Konstruktion des sogenannten 'Normalarbeitsverhältnisses', das die Arbeitsmarktpolitik bis in die Gegenwart so nachdrücklich und, wie ich meine, verhängnisvoll prägt. Erst nach Überwindung der 'alten Welt' konnte Lohnarbeit zur vorherrschenden Form der Erwerbstätigkeit werden. Zunächst prägten noch prekäre Arbeitsverhältnisse und instabile Beschäftigungsformen das Bild. Doch im Laufe der Entwicklung, insbesondere wegen des außerordentlich starken Wirtschaftswachstums und einer entsprechenden Wohlstandssteigerung des industriekapitalistischen Systems, gelang es mehr und mehr, auch die Erwerbsbiografien der Lohnarbeiter zu stabilisieren. Zum Leitbild einer Erwerbstätigkeit wurde nunmehr die vollständige (männliche) Erwerbsbiographie, das sogenannte 'Normalarbeitsverhältnis'. Zwar blieben Risikobiografien für zahlreiche Arbeiter auch weiterhin Realität, doch wurden sie in der öffentlichen Wahrnehmung, insbesondere in den 'goldenen' 1960er und 1970er Jahren an den Rand gedrängt. Mittlerweile sind wir
    Abstract: hingegen, nicht zuletzt wegen der Arbeitsmarktkrise am Ende des 20. Jahrhunderts, mit der 'Erosion des Normalarbeitsverhältnisses' und der Rückkehr prekärer Arbeitsverhältnisse massiv konfrontiert. Dies ist aber offenbar noch nicht hinlänglich in das Bewußtsein der Betroffenen und der Öffentlichkeit gedrungen, was naturgemäß auch die aktuellen Bezüge der vorliegenden Arbeit unterstreicht. Diese knappen Hinweise vermögen das Verdienst der Studie längst nicht erschöpfend zu würdigen. Eine besondere Kennerschaft des Autors wird z. B. bei der Diskussion verschiedener sozialpolitischer Maßnahmen deutlich, bei der er zum Teil auf archivalische Quellen zurückgreifen kann. Ansonsten schöpft er aus der umfangreichen und komplexen Literatur zu den angesprochenen Themen. Kurzum: ein lesenswertes Buch, das viele Anregungen zu geben vermag und dessen menschenfreundliche Prosa zudem die schwierige Lektüre gelegentlich zu einem Vergnügen werden läßt."

    Keywords: Minderheitenpolitik ; Palästinenser ; Juden ; Religiöse Minderheit ; Israel
    Abstract: This book offers an analysis on contemporary Israeli democracy, examining in particular society and politics from the perspectives of the different ethnic groups outside of the Ashkenazi mainstream. The book explores the political expressions of the secondary groups in Israel (Mizrahim, Religious, Russians and Palestinian-Arab) and how these groups where treated by the Ashkinazim as a threat to its hegemony over the state. Looking at the instability created by the struggle of these marginal groups against the state, and the discrimination policy practiced by the Ashkenazi 'hegemonic ethnic state' regime against the other, non-Ashkenazi, groups, the book illustrates how this has contributed to the failure to establish an 'Israeli people'. Ethnic Politics in Israel will be of great interest to students and researchers in the fields of Middle East, Palestinian, Arab, Jewish and Israeli studies, political science, sociology and psychology.

    Abstract: Featuring groundbreaking research, this penetrating book identifies a new family model geared for the post-industrial economy. The authors show how the Red-Blue divide goes much deeper than the well-known value system conflict, detailing how the Red States have increasingly said "no" to Blue State legal norms, and, as a result, family law has been rent in two. The authors close with a consideration of where these different family systems still overlap, and suggest solutions that permit rebuilding support for both types of families.

    Series Statement: Routledge Critical Studies in Discourse
    DDC: 306.44
    Keywords: Gesellschaft ; Marktwirtschaft ; Wirtschaftssprache ; Diskursanalyse ; Dominanz
    Abstract: In education, politics and religion, there are strong indications that discourse is becoming marketized. Around the world, government ministries have re-defined themselves as "service providers," universities draw up "market-driven" curricula, job seekers are asked to "package themselves" more effectively, and there are advertising agencies specializing in "the Christian marketplace." And it is not only word choice that is effected; higher-level linguistic patterns, such as genres and discursive practices (such as the text and talk connected with performance measurement and public relations), are also drawn into the orbit of market forces. Through an intricate dialectic, such patterns of linguistic choices, in turn, reinforce the social structures that shape them, further consolidating the marketization process. In a related development, language within the business domain itself is increasingly shaped by strategic planning and control, for example in branding, message design, and the promulgation of management buzzwords. Marketization thus emerges as a globally unfolding process in which language holds a key position as both cause and effect, and as both subject and object. The book examines these phenomena from a linguistic and critical perspective, drawing on critical discourse analysis, sociological treatises of market society, and critical management studies.

    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.

    Abstract: The first book-length study of contemporary British Jewry , Turbulent Times: The British Jewish Community Today examines the changing nature of the British Jewish community and its leadership since 1990. Keith Kahn-Harris and Ben Gidley contend that there has been a shift within Jewish communal discourse from a strategy of security, which emphasized Anglo-Jewry's secure British belonging and citizenship, to a strategy of insecurity, which emphasizes the dangers and threats Jews face individually and communally. This shift is part of a process of renewal in the community that has led to something of a 'Jewish renaissance' in Britain. Addressing key questions on the transitions in the history of Anglo-Jewish community and leadership, and tackling the concept of the 'new antisemitism', this important and timely study addresses the question: how has UK Jewry adapted from a shift from monoculturalism to multiculturalism?.

    Abstract: Although overshadowed in historical memory by the Holocaust, the anti-Jewish pogroms of the late 19th and early 20th centuries were at the time unrivaled episodes of ethnic violence. Incorporating newly available primary sources, this collection of groundbreaking essays by researchers from Europe, the United States, and Israel investigates the phenomenon of anti-Jewish violence, the local and transnational responses to pogroms, and instances where violence was averted. Focusing on the period from World War I through Russia's early revolutionary years, the studies include Poland, Ukraine, Belorussia, Lithuania, Crimea, and Siberia.

    Abstract: Shifting attention from exports to imports, from production to consumption, and from men to women, Hoganson makes it clear that globalization did not just happen beyond America’s shores, as a result of American military might and industrial power, but that it happened at home, thanks to imports, immigrants, geographical knowledge, and consumer preferences.

    Keywords: Organisationswandel ; Institutionenökonomie ; Organisation ; Wandel ; Theorie ; Institution ; Sozialer Wandel
    Abstract: Institutional change is a central driving force behind social changes, and thus a central topic in all major fields of social sciences. Yet, no general theory of institutional change exists. Drawing from a diverse literature, this book develops a general theory of institutional change, based on a social evolutionary synthesis of the conflict approach and the harmony approach. The book argues that because the whole process of institutional change can be understood as a process of selecting a few ideas and turning them into institutions, competition of ideas and struggle for power to make rules are often at the heart of institutional change. The general theory not only integrates more specific theories and insights on institutional change that have been scattered in different fields into a coherent general theory but also provides fundamental new insights and points to new directions for future research. This book makes a fundamental contribution to all major fields of social sciences: sociology (sociological theory), political sciences, institutional economics, and political theory. It should be of general interest to scholars and students in all major fields of social science.

    Abstract: Dieser Sammelband versteht sich als Kompendium zu Fragen der Beteiligung von Kindern und Jugendlichen. Er gibt einen Einblick in den gegenwärtigen Diskussions- und Entwicklungsstand und beleuchtet Handlungsperspektiven der Mitwirkung junger Menschen in Deutschland. Die hier zusammengefassten Ergebnisse der Jugendpartizipationsstudie der Bertelsmann Stiftung belegen: Um die Kinder- und Jugendbeteiligung ist es hierzulande noch nicht gut bestellt. Wie kann diese Situation verbessert werden? Die Autorinnen und Autoren sind sich einig, dass es eines vernetzten Vorgehens von Akteuren und Institutionen in den Städten und Gemeinden bedarf. Sie zeigen auf, welche Handlungsansätze in Kindertagesstätten, Schulen, Vereinen und Kommunen bestehen, um junge Menschen für die Gestaltung des demokratischen Gemeinwesens zu gewinnen. Die Beiträge machen deutlich, dass durch die verstärkte Beteiligung der jungen Generation beide Seiten gewinnen: jeder einzelne Mensch und die Gesellschaft.

    Abstract: Henning Scherf ist eine Leitfigur unserer Gesellschaft. Er stellt dem allgemeinen Pessimismus seine positive Sicht entgegen. Wir selbst sind die Lösung der Krise. Nicht: Jeder für sich und alle gegen jeden, sondern Helfen, denn gegenseitige Unterstützung tut not. Das gilt im Kleinen und Großen, in der Familie, in der Nachbarschaft, in der ganzen Gesellschaft.

    Series Statement: Israeli History, Politics and Society
    DDC: 306.6/9683095694
    Keywords: Orthodoxes Judentum ; Säkularisierung ; Juden ; Religiöse Identität ; Israel
    Abstract: Common discourse on Jewish identity in Israel is dominated by the view that Jewish Israelis can, and should, be either religious or secular. Moving away from this conventional framework, this book examines the role of secularism and religion in Jewish society and politics. With a focus on the 'traditionists' (masortim) who comprise over a third of the Jewish-Israeli population, the author examines issues of religion, tradition and secularism in Israel, giving a fresh approach to the widening theoretical discussion regarding the thesis of secularisation and modernity and exploring the wider implications of this identity. Yadgar's conclusions have significant social, cultural and political implications, serving not only as a new contribution to the academic discourse on Jewish-Israeli identity, but as a platform upon which traditionist positions on central issues of Israeli politics can be heard. Offering a detailed investigation into a central and important Jewish-Israeli identity construct, the book is relevant not only to the study of Jewish identity in Israel but also within the wider social-theoretical issues of religion, tradition, modernity and secularization. The book will be of great interest to students of Israeli society and to anyone looking into the issues of Jewish identity, Israeli nationalism and ethnicity, religion and politics in Israel, and the sociology of religion.

    Abstract: Population and Development offers an expert guide on the demographic transition, from its origins in Enlightenment Europe through to the rest of the world. Tim Dyson examines how, while the phenomenon continues to cause unsustainable population growth with serious economic and environmental implications, its processes have underlain previous periods of sustained economic growth, helped to liberate women from the domestic domain, and contributed greatly to the rise of modern democracy.
