    Abstract: A highly original and readily accessible examination of the cultural dimension of international politics, this book provides a sophisticated and nuanced account of the relevance of cultural categories for the analysis of world politics. The book's analytical focus is on plural and pluralist civilizations. Civilizations exist in the plural within one civilization of modernity; and they are internally pluralist rather than unitary. The existence of plural and pluralist civilizations is reflected in transcivilizational engagements, intercivilizational encounters and, only occasionally, in civilizational clashes. Drawing on the work of Eisenstadt, Collins and Elias, Katzenstein's introduction provides a cogent and detailed alternative to Huntington's. This perspective is then developed and explored through six outstanding case studies written by leading experts in their fields. Combining contemporary and historical perspectives while addressing the civilizational politics of America, Europe, China, Japan, India and Islam, the book draws these discussions together in Patrick Jackson's theoretically informed, thematic conclusion.   Featuring an exceptional line-up and representing a diversity of theoretical views within one integrative perspective, this work will be of interest to all scholars and students of international relations, sociology and political science.

    Abstract: Amsterdam maakte als maritiem centrum vanaf het einde van de zestiende eeuw een explosieve ontwikkeling door binnen een zich voortdurend uitbreidend scheepvaartnetwerk. De stad groeide in de Gouden Eeuw uit tot een knooppunt van een mondiaal handels- en scheepvaartsysteem. Tussen 1580 en 1660 werd de stad in vier geplande stadsuitbreidingen gemoderniseerd. Dit resulteerde in de typische halfcirkelvormige plattegrond met een concentrisch grachtenpatroon en radiale straten. Het scheppen van ruimte aan het IJ voor havenfaciliteiten en bedrijfsgebieden was een belangrijke drijfveer bij de realisatie van dit stedenbouwkundig plan. Jerzy Gawronski gaat tijdens zijn oratie in op de betekenis van het maritieme bedrijf voor de moderniteit en uniciteit van de zeventiende-eeuwse Amsterdamse stedelijke structuur in het historisch planologisch debat. Hij vindt dat de rol van het maritieme bedrijf in dat debat is onderbelicht. Archeologische disciplines zoals maritieme archeologie en stadskernonderzoek bieden vanuit het concept van de maritieme stad nieuwe invalshoeken voor een meer integrale benadering. Uitgaande van de materiële en ruimtelijke relatie tussen schepen en stad behoren mobiliteit, decentralisatie, internationalisering en een dynamische topografie tot de kenmerkende elementen van het stadsplan van Amsterdam.

    Abstract: This timely volume introduces a new social class schema, the European Socio-economic Classification (ESeC), which has been specifically developed and tested for use in EU comparative research. Social Class in Europe aims to introduce researchers to the new classification and its research potential. Since socio-economic classifications are so widely used in official and academic research, this collection is essential reading for all users of both government and academic social classifications. While primarily aimed at researchers who will be using the ESeC, the book's contents will also have a wider appeal as it is suitable for students taking substantive courses in European studies or as a supplementary text for undergraduates studying the EU, Sociology and Economics. Because of its inherent methodological interest, the book should prove a valuable tool for undergraduate and graduate courses that discuss how social scientists construct and validate basic measures. It will also be required reading for policy makers and analysts concerned with social inequality and social exclusion across Europe.

    Abstract: This is an innovative interdisciplinary book about objects and people within museums and galleries. It addresses fundamental issues of human sensory, emotional and aesthetic experience of objects. The chapters explore ways and contexts in which things and people mutually interact, and raise questions about how objects carry meaning and feeling, the distinctions between objects and persons, particular qualities of the museum as context for person-object engagements, and the active and embodied role of the museum visitor. Museum Materialities is divided into three sections - Objects, Engagements and Interpretations - and includes a foreword by Susan Pearce and an afterword by Howard Morphy. It examines materiality and other perceptual and ontological qualities of objects themselves; embodied sensory and cognitive engagements - both personal and across a wider audience spread - with particular objects or object types in a museum or gallery setting; notions of aesthetics, affect and wellbeing in museum contexts; and creative and innovative artistic and museum practices that seek to illuminate or critique museum objects and interpretations. Phenomenological and other approaches to embodied experience in an emphatically material world are current in a number of academic areas, most particularly strands of material culture studies within anthropology and cognate disciplines. Thus far, however, there has been no concerted application of this kind of approach to museum collections and interactions with them by museum visitors, curators, artists and researchers. Bringing together essays by scholars and practitioners from a wide disciplinary and international base, Museum Materialities seeks to make just such a contribution. In so doing it makes a valuable and original addition to the literature of both material culture studies and museum studies.

    Abstract: Convergence Media History explores the ways that digital convergence has radically changed the field of media history. Writing media history is no longer a matter of charting the historical development of an individual medium such as film or television. Instead, now that various media from blockbuster films to everyday computer use intersect regularly via convergence, scholars must find new ways to write media history across multiple media formats. This collection of eighteen new essays by leading media historians and scholars examines the issues today in writing media history and histories. Each essay addresses a single medium-including film, television, advertising, sound recording, new media, and more-and connects that specific medium's history to larger issues for the field in writing multi-media or convergent histories. Among the volume's topics are new media technologies and their impact on traditional approaches to media history; alternative accounts of film production and exhibition, with a special emphasis on film across multiple media platforms; the changing relationships between audiences, fans, and consumers within media culture; and the globalization of our media culture.

    Abstract: This book is about the relationship between media and globalization, explored through the unique study of the global expansion of Discovery Communications, spearheaded by the Discovery Channel, one of the world's largest providers of factual television programming and media content. The book argues that the study of Discovery's relationship with globalization provides both a specific and a more general practical and theoretical understanding of how the processes of increased linking and interweaving of media and communications unfold and develop, as well as some of the consequences of this.

    Abstract: This book is the first in English to examine irregular migration from post-Soviet states, focusing in particular on migration to the United States. Due to globalization and the end of the Cold War, citizens of the former Soviet Union are on the move as never before. The political, economic, and social changes that followed the collapse of the Soviet Union resulted in widespread poverty and unemployment and also created a large pool of potential migrants. Thousands of individuals from poor post-Soviet countries migrate to the West in search of better-paid work in an effort to provide for themselves and their families both through legal channels, and in their absence, illegally. In recent years immigration has become a topic of heated debate in many Western countries: the estimated number of undocumented immigrants in the United States has reached 11 million, precipitating a new legislative focus on reforming the immigration system, culminating in the highly controversial Border Protection, Antiterrorism, and Illegal Immigration Control Act passed by the House of Representatives in 2005 but eventually "killed" in the Senate. This book examines all these issues, discussing the reasons for migration, the profile of the migrants, how the process of migration works and how the migrants obtain their U.S. visas, where they work once in the United States and their intentions with regards to their possible return home. This book explores the reality of post-Soviet migration where the mostly well-educated former professionals end up in low-wage unskilled jobs as domestic workers, child care givers, and construction workers, sometimes in exploitative labor situations. Overall, this book provides a detailed account of post-Soviet illegal migration to the United States, focusing in particular on Central Asian and Georgian migrants, and will be of interest to

    Abstract: This collection brings together many of the world's leading sociologists of education to explore and address key issues and concerns within the discipline. The thirty-seven newly commissioned chapters draw upon theory and research to provide new accounts of contemporary educational processes, global trends, and changing and enduring forms of social conflict and social inequality. The research, conducted by leading international scholars in the field, indicates that two complexly interrelated agendas are discernible in the heat and noise of educational change over the past twenty-five years. The first rests on a clear articulation by the state of its requirements of education. The second promotes at least the appearance of greater autonomy on the part of educational institutions in the delivery of those requirements. The Routledge International Handbook of the Sociology of Education examines the ways in which the sociology of education has responded to these two political agendas, addressing a range of issues which cover three key areas: perspectives and theories social processes and practices inequalities and resistances. The book strongly communicates the vibrancy and diversity of the sociology of education and the nature of 'sociological work' in this field. It will be a primary resource for teachers, as well as a title of major interest to practising sociologists of education.

    Abstract: "This volume assembles an estimable range of critical analyses of one of the most important mediated artifacts of the modern world-the media event. The authors challenge the construct, extend its usefulness, expand its theoretical basis and application, and examine media events in a far larger and richer context than ever before. Students of global media today are well served by this superb collection of essays." David Morgan, Duke University, USA "A welcome and worthy successor to Dayan and Katz's path-breaking study that expands and enriches the discourse on global media events." Daya Thussu, University of Westminster, UK "This is an excellent collection, that will enable new kinds of argument about, and hopefully research into, the spectacular functions of the contemporary media." Graeme Turner, University of Queensland, Australia We live in an age where the media is intensely global and profoundly changed by digitalization. Not only do many media events have audiences who access them online, but additionally digital media flows are generating new ways in which media events can emerge. In times of increasingly differentiated media technologies and fragmented media landscapes, the 'eventization' of the media is increasingly important for the marketing and everyday appreciation of popular media texts. The events covered include Celebrity Big Brother, 9/11, the Iraq war and World Youth Day 2005 to give readers an understanding of the major debates in this increasingly high-profile area of media and cultural research.

    Abstract: In der Sonder- und Sozialpädagogik steht die demokratische Bildungs- und Erziehungskultur auf dem Prüfstand. Anerkennung, Partizipation, Dialog und die Achtung der Kinder- und Menschenrechtskonventionen werden derzeit in der pädagogischen Praxis zurück gedrängt: sozialtechnologische ‚Straf-Pädagogiken' sowie ‚Lob der Disziplin' bedienen den ordnungspolitischen Mainstream. Diese so gar nicht neue, sondern vielmehr antiquierte Erziehungskultur steht im Mittelpunkt dieses Bandes.

    Abstract: This fascinating biography tells the story of nineteenth-century America through the life of one of its most magnetic and influential characters: Sojourner Truth. In an in-depth account of this amazing activist, Margaret Washington unravels Truth's world within the broader panorama of African American slavery and the nation's most significant reform era. _x000B_Organized chronologically into three distinct eras of Truth's life, Sojourner Truth's America examines the complex dynamics of the times in which she acted, beginning with the transnational contours of her spirituality and early life as a slave. Washington then highlights Truth's awakening during nineteenth-century America's progressive surge, which propelled her ascendancy as a rousing preacher and political orator despite her inability to read and write. Washington explores Truth's passionate commitment to family and community. For Truth, the significant model for such communalism was a primitive, prophetic Christianity._x000B_.

    Abstract: Geweld in naam van de islam vormt voor westerse samenlevingen een bedreiging, getuige de aanslagen in New York, Madrid en Londen. In Nederland heeft de moord op Theo van Gogh voor een toenemende aandacht voor radicale Nederlandse moslims gezorgd die zich afzetten tegen de Nederlandse samenleving en specifiek voor de enkelingen die daarin zelfs een gewelddadige koers propageren. Om preventief beleid te kunnen ontwikkelen is het van belang te weten waarom deze jongeren kiezen voor een radicale invulling van de islam, een benadering die de meeste moslims met argusogen bekijken.Deze uitgave geeft antwoord op deze vraag aan de hand van een portret van twaalf salafi-jihadi's in Amsterdam. Het onderzoek verbindt op uitzonderlijke wijze een kwantitatieve analyse van radicaliseringsprocessen met veldwerk onder salafi-jihadi jongeren in Amsterdam. Met deze uitgave worden inzichten over deze specifieke groep jongeren breed toegankelijk gemaakt. De auteurs laten zien dat deze jongeren niet handelen vanuit een irrationele, onverklaarbare religieuze drang, maar vanuit behoeften die te maken hebben met hun persoonlijke en maatschappelijke omstandigheden.

    Abstract: Through a gender, ethnicity, and sexuality lens, Pérez demonstrates that queer Chicana/o and Latina/o identities are much more prevalent in cultural production than most people think. By claiming a variety of characters and texts as queer, he expands the breadth of queer representation in cultural production.

    Abstract: Dit boek gaat over hoe Nederlandse politici en ambtenaren in de afgelopen vijftig jaar de regels hebben vastgesteld voor gezinsmigratie. Het reconstrueert de termen waarin het beleidsdebat gevoerd werd en het verloop van de besluitvorming. Waar de discussie in de jaren vijftig en zestig draaide om de overkomst van gezinnen van gastarbeiders, ging het in de jaren zeventig en tachtig over gelijke behandeling van mannen en vrouwen, homoseksuele en heteroseksuele relaties, en migranten en Nederlanders, en vanaf de jaren negentig over beperking van de instroom, eigen verantwoordelijkheid en de plaats van moslims in de Nederlandse samenleving. Een van de vragen die centraal staan, is waarom politici en ambtenaren van een land dat nooit een immigratieland heeft willen zijn, de vestiging van gezinsmigranten hebben toegestaan op een schaal die het aanzien van Nederland voorgoed veranderd heeft. Die vraag sluit aan bij het internationaal theoretisch debat over wat wel 'de paradox van het migratiebeleid in liberale democratieën' wordt genoemd: Nederland is immers niet het enige land met een dergelijke paradoxale migratiegeschiedenis. Daarnaast wordt in kaart gebracht hoe de verhoudingen liggen en lagen tussen ministeries, tussen ambtenaren en bewindspersonen, tussen kabinet en parlement, en tussen politieke partijen. Daarmee biedt dit boek een kijkje in de keuken van beleidsvorming in Nederland.

    Abstract: Beslissingen rond werk en pensioen worden genomen in een sterk veranderend economisch landschap. Aan de ene kant doet de kredietcrisis velen beseffen dat pensioenaanspraken niet vanzelfsprekend zijn en dat langer doorwerken wellicht noodzakelijk is. Aan de andere kant kan de noodzaak tot herstructurering binnen bedrijven en organisaties de arbeidsmarktkansen van ouderen sterk verminderen. Zeker is evenwel dat de context van pensioneringsbeslissingen structureel van karakter aan het veranderen is. Het onderhavige onderzoek schetst een beeld van het recente uittredegedrag van werknemers en de krachten die daarop van invloed zijn. De ervaringen van werknemers van vier grote organisaties in Nederland (Rijksoverheid, IBM, Maxeda en Unilever) vormen de bron van de onderzoeksbevindingen. Zij zijn tussen 2001 en 2007 gevolgd in het maken van keuzes op de arbeidsmarkt.Uit het onderzoek blijkt dat er een aanmerkelijk kloof bestaat tussen aanvankelijke pensioenplannen en het uittredegedrag dat er op volgt. Het overheersende beeld is dat werknemers - al dan niet gedwongen - veel eerder gebruik maken van de geboden uittredingsmogelijkheden dan men zich had voorgenomen. Uitreding betekent echter vaak niet het definitieve vertrek van de arbeidsmarkt. Eén op de drie werknemers die vervroegd is uitgetreden (voor het 65ste jaar) maakt een doorstart en biedt zich weer aan op de arbeidsmarkt. Bij deze aanbieders treedt een tweedeling op van succesvolle doorstarters en minder succesvolle baanzoekers.

    Abstract: In hun tijd kon het werk van de Vlaamse schrijfsters Rosalie (1834-1875) en Virginie (1836-1923) Loveling al rekenen op de grote waardering van critici als E.J. Potgieter en J. ten Brink. Maar pas nu wordt duidelijk hoe vooruitstrevend de opvattingen van deze zusters waren. Zij schreven niet alleen aangrijpende verhalen waarin zij de eigentijdse werkelijkheid 'realistisch', sober en beheerst weergaven, maar namen ook nadrukkelijk geavanceerde standpunten in over intellectuele, filosofische en maatschappelijke vraagstukken. Als vrouw eisten zij het recht op om te studeren en te schrijven.

    Abstract: Monsters. Real or imagined, literal or metaphorical, they have exerted a dread fascination on the human mind for many centuries. They attract and repel us, intrigue and terrify us, and in the process reveal something deeply important about the darker recesses of our collective psyche. Stephen Asma's On Monsters is a wide-ranging cultural and conceptual history of monsters--how they have evolved over time, what functions they have served for us, and what shapes they are likely to take in the future. Asma begins with a letter from Alexander the Great in 326 B.C. detailing an encounter in India with an "enormous beast--larger than an elephantthree ominous horns on its forehead." From there the monsters come fast and furious--Behemoth and Leviathan, Gog and Magog, the leopard-bear-lion beast of Revelation, Satan and his demons, Grendel and Frankenstein, circus freaks and headless children, right up to the serial killers and terrorists of today and the post-human cyborgs of tomorrow. Monsters embody our deepest anxieties and vulnerabilities, Asma argues, but they also symbolize the mysterious and incoherent territory just beyond the safe enclosures of rational thought. Exploring philosophical treatises, theological tracts, newspapers, pamphlets, films, scientific notebooks, and novels, Asma unpacks traditional monster stories for the clues they offer about the inner logic of an era's fears and fascinations. In doing so, he illuminates the many ways monsters have become repositories for those human qualities that must be repudiated, externalized, and defeated. Asma suggests that how we handle monsters reflects how we handle uncertainty, ambiguity, insecurity. And in a world that is daily becoming less secure and more ambiguous, he shows how we might learn to better live with monsters--and thereby avoid becoming one.

    Abstract: Tussen Europa en de Verenigde Staten bestaan verschillen in de mate waarin godsdienst een rol speelt in het dagelijks leven, en in de publieke sfeer. Waar Europa reeds lang het toneel is van een voortschrijdende secularisering, blijft godsdienst een wezenlijk element in de Amerikaanse politiek en cultuur. Daarom vormt de VS een levendige markt van elkaar beconcurrerende godsdienstige 'ondernemers', die voor een zeer gevarieerd aanbod zorgen. Hans Knippenberg probeert in zijn afscheidscollege dit verschil tussen Europa en de VS te verklaren aan de hand van bestaande sociaalwetenschappelijke theorieën en inzichten uit de (politieke en culturele) geografie.

    Abstract: A previously unpublished work by Robert Stoller. 'It was like discovering a previously unknown recording by the Beatles. On a 2007 visit to Robert Stoller's widow, Sybil, she handed me a manuscript. Bob's last book had been placed in a publishing queue by his retiring editor. After Bob's death Sybil was told that the publisher had discontinued psychoanalytic books. It languished on a home shelf in Los Angeles for sixteen years. I was holding the final work by psychoanalysis's most eloquent writer on sex.' - From the Foreword by Dr Richard Green.

    Keywords: Tausch ; Symbolische Form ; Sozialität ; Kultursoziologie ; Gegenseitigkeit ; Wirtschaft ; Kultur
    Abstract: Der Tausch ist als spezifische Praxisform in der Gegenwartsgesellschaft allgegenwärtig. Nicht nur, dass wir alle fast täglich Geld gegen Gebrauchsgegenstände und Lebensmittel tauschen und unsere Arbeitskraft auf dem Arbeitmarkt anbieten und verkaufen, belegt diese Feststellung. Wir sind alle auch regelmäßig an geldlosen Tauschprozessen beteiligt. Der Tausch ist dabei nicht nur in seinem praktischen Vollzug, der sich nicht selten in höchst komplexer Form ereignet, für die soziologische Theoriebildung und Forschung interessant, sondern auch deshalb, weil er häufig nicht folgenlos bleibt für die Form der Reproduktion von Sozialität: Durch Tauschprozesse können soziale Beziehungen zwischen sozialen Akteuren entstehen und auf Dauer gestellt werden. Das Buch macht der Soziologie den Vorschlag, den Tausch mit Hilfe einer systematisierten Praxistheorie als vielfältige Praxis zu fassen, indem die symbolischen Formen der Tauschpraxis kultursoziologisch bestimmt werden, um eine differenzierte Typologie unterschiedlicher Praxisformen des Tausches zu entwickeln. Durch diese kultursoziologische Neuvermessung des Forschungsfeldes Tausch verdeutlicht der Autor, dass gerade die praktische Simultanität von unterschiedlichen Tauschlogiken etwa des Gabentausches und des Warentausches strukturierend auf die Reproduktion der Praxis wirkt, was für das Feld der Wirtschaft durch eine tauschtheoretische Analyse der Korruptionspraxis und der Bildung von Innovationsnetzwerken plausibilisiert wird.

    Abstract: Victorians were fascinated by the flood of strange new worlds that science was opening to them. Exotic plants and animals poured into London from all corners of the Empire, while revolutionary theories such as the radical idea that humans might be descended from apes drew crowds to heated debates. Men and women of all social classes avidly collected scientific specimens for display in their homes and devoured literature about science and its practitioners. Victorian Science in Context captures the essence of this fascination, charting the many ways in which science influenced and was influenced by the larger Victorian culture. Contributions from leading scholars in history, literature, and the history of science explore questions such as: What did science mean to the Victorians? For whom was Victorian science written? What ideological messages did it convey? The contributors show how practical concerns interacted with contextual issues to mold Victorian science-which in turn shaped much of the relationship between modern science and culture.

    Abstract: De moord op Theo van Gogh zorgde voor een schokgolf in Nederland. Radicale moslims bleken ook in Nederlandse steden aanwezig te zijn. Wie zijn deze jongeren? Hoe en waarom worden zij radicaal? Onderzoekers die antwoorden proberen te vinden op vragen over radicalisering noemen diverse factoren op internationaal, sociaaleconomisch en sociaalpsychologisch niveau. Amy-Jane Gielen richt haar aandacht op een aspect dat onderbelicht blijft: de zoektocht naar identiteit. Daarbij kijkt zij niet alleen naar radicale moslimjongeren, maar tevens naar een groep die veel minder aandacht krijgt: rechts-radicale jongeren. Alle jongeren gaan vanaf de pubertijd op zoek naar hun identiteit. Deze zoektocht wordt in dit boek in kaart gebracht op basis van interviews en literatuurstudie. De vergelijking tussen geradicaliseerde religieuze en politieke jongeren leidt tot de conclusie dat bij beide groepen identiteit een centrale rol speelt in het radicaliseringsproces. Gielen vertaalt haar bevindingen ook naar de praktijk: wat kan de (lokale) overheid doen om radicalisering onder deze jongeren te voorkomen? Haar pleidooi voor een breed preventiemodel ondersteunt zij onder andere met evaluaties van activiteiten die in Slotervaart zijn gestart ter voorkoming van moslimradicalisering.

    Abstract: Aan de oostkant van Amsterdam verrijst IJburg, een stadswijk die bij de voltooiing zal bestaan uit zeven kunstmatig aangelegde eilanden. Vanaf de allereerste plannen is IJburg veelvuldig in het nieuws geweest en zijn de collectieve verwachtingen hoog gespannen. IJburg spreekt alom tot de verbeelding als stedelijke buitenwijk, het is buiten wonen in de stad. Dit roept de vraag op welke processen hier achter zitten? Wie en wat maken dat een nieuwbouwwijk als IJburg, die vaak verondersteld wordt saai en eenvormig te zijn, tot leven komt? En wat zegt dit over de betekenis die geografische plaats heeft in de hedendaagse wereld van mondialisering, suburbanisatie en online communities?Tineke Lupi ontrafelt in dit boek de ontwikkelingen die IJburg vanaf de jaren negentig van de vorige eeuw heeft doorgemaakt. Aan de hand van de ervaringen van de professionele ontwikkelaars en de eerste bewoners geeft ze een diepgaand inzicht in de manieren waarop een nieuwe wijk gevormd wordt. Nadruk daarbij ligt op het sociale proces waarin de gebouwde omgeving betekenis krijgt, een proces dat in het boek wordt aangeduid als place making. Het maken van een nieuwe wijk in de hedendaagse samenleving is geen eenvoudig proces. De betekenis die IJburg verworven heeft, werd niet op de tekentafel bedacht maar is een samenspel van vele, soms oncontroleerbare factoren.

    Abstract: Leading geographer Denis Cosgrove provides a series of personal reflections on the complex connections between seeing, imagining and representing the world geographically. In a series of eloquent essays he draws upon pictorial images - including maps, sketches, cartoons, paintings, and photographs - to explore and elaborate upon the many and varied ways in which the vast and varied earth, and at times the heavens beyond, have been both imagined and represented as a place of human habitation. The essays include reflections upon geographical discovery; urban cartography and utopian visions; ideas of landscape and the shaping of America; wilderness and masculinity; conceptions of the Pacific; and the imaginative grip of the Equator. Extensively illustrated, this engaging work reveals the richness of the geographical imagination as expressed over the past five centuries._x000D__x000D_'A richly evocative set of meditations on landscape and vision by a master craftsman. ... Across myriad times and spaces, he displays for us the kaleidoscope of meanings that we humans have attached to the terrestrial sphere. Each essay is a delightful creation fashioned by an artist whose eye is informed throughout by a profound geographical sensibility.'- David Livingstone, OBE, Professor of Geography and Intellectual History, Queen's University, Belfast_x000D__x000D_'Among modern geographers who have re-imagined, re-charged and extended their subject, Denis Cosgrove is pre-eminent, and his understanding of landscape, in particular, the most vital contribution... The range of his chosen topics is both their challenge and their excitement - from Renaissance arcadias to Ruskin's mythopoeic science, from meditations on the invisible Equator to extra-terrestrial cosmography for the twenty-first century, from American nature and urban mapping to the idea of the Pacific as a...

    Abstract: Judith Kapferer and her collaborators present an insightful volume that interrogates relations between the state and the arts in diverse national and cultural settings. The authors critique the taken-for-granted assumption about the place of the arts in liberal or social democratic states and the role of the arts in supporting or opposing the ideological work of government and non-government institutions. This innovative volume explores the challenges posed by the state to the arts and by the arts to the state, focusing on several transformations of the interrelations between state and commercial arts policies in the current era. These ongoing challenges include the control of repressive tolerance, complicity with and resistance to state power, and the commoditization of the arts, including their accommodation to market and state apparatuses. While endeavouring to avoid the currently dominant pragmatic and didactic priorities of officialdom, the contributors tackle social and cultural policy and practice in the arts as well as connections between national states and dissenting art from a range of genres.

    Abstract: The book examines the creative industries of Cameroon and Africa and makes bold the cultural triumphant assertion that Africa is home to some of the most diverse cultural patrimony and the most versatile creative professionals. It also discusses indigenous development models and questions the rationale for Eurocentric democratic paradigms which have partly contributed to the demise of a concrete democratic development entitlement in most African countries. Ngwane weaves both the cultural and political strands into a search for a homegrown development web which he calls 'glocalisation'. Ngwane's essays, most of which have animated debate and discourse in national newspapers, online blogs and International journals are lucid in their arguments, poignant in their ideological focus, rich in their non-fiction craftsmanship and urgent in their message delivery. The essays will make good reading for students of Africa studies, Development studies, Politics and Culture.

    Abstract: In postsocialist Ukraine, with privatization and the scaling back of the social safety net, it is primarily women who have been left as leaders of service-oriented NGOs and mutual aid associations, caring for the marginalized and destitute with little or no support from the Ukrainian state. Sarah D. Phillips follows 11 activists over the course of several years to document the unexpected effects that social activism has produced for women: increasing social inequality and "differentiation" in the form of new cultural criteria for productive citizenship and new definitions of the rights and needs of various categories of citizens.

    Abstract: The original essays and commentary in this volume-the third in a series reporting the results of the NBER Economics of Aging Program-address issues that are of particular importance to the well-being of individuals as they age and to a society at large that is composed increasingly of older persons. The contributors examine social security reform, including an analysis of the Japanese system; present the startling finding that the vast majority of people choose the wrong accumulation strategies for their pension plans; explore the continuing consequences of the decline in support of parents by children in the postwar period; investigate the relation between nursing home stays and the source of payment for the care; and offer initial findings on the implications of differences between developed and developing countries for understanding aging issues and determining appropriate directions for research.

    Abstract: Grandparents have long played important roles in the lives of their adult children and their grandchildren in our own as well as in many other cultures. Yet it has only been in the last 3 or 4 decades that grandparents have received the kind of academic scrutiny that other family members--especially mothers--have been receiving a century or more. This groundbreaking collection has targeted the essence of what occurs in the context of grandparents' efforts at parenting their grandchildren as well as the nature of these interactions. Indeed, grandparent's views on the adequacy of their parenting skills and the nature of their relationships with their grandchildren are at the heart of many of the difficulties and satisfactions associated with the resumption of the parenting role in middle and later life, and are of central importance in the lives and well-being of both custodial grandparents and their grandchildren. The volume, which will be of vital interest to family counselors, mental health practitioners, educators, school counselors, social workers, psychologists, and social service providers, approaches this issue from novel theoretical perspectives, presents new empirical data, and provides valuable suggestions for therapists who are treating grandparent-grandchild dyads. It is methodologically diverse, relying upon case studies, empirical findings, and national datasets. Additionally, it incorporates longitudinal work, which has been absent in research with grandparent caregivers to date. Most importantly, it defines new areas of understanding of custodial grandparents that are relevant to both researchers and practitioners, e.g., dealing with grief and loss, a focus on grandchildren, the interactional style of caregiving, parenting education, intergenerational ambivalence, and therefore, should provide fertile ground for work regarding...
