    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: 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.

    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: 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.

    Keywords: Sozialer Wandel ; Altersgruppe ; Generation
    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: 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: 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 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: 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: 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."

    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.

    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.

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.

    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.

    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.
