    Series Statement: Studies in Curriculum Theory Series
    DDC: 375.001
    Abstract: In current global politics, which positions China as a competitor to American leadership, in-depth understandings of transnational mutual engagement are much needed for cultivating nonviolent relations. Exploring American and Chinese professors' experiences at the intersection of the individual, society, and history, and weaving the autobiographical and the global, this book furthers understanding of their cross-cultural personal awareness and educational work at universities in both countries. While focusing on life histories, it also draws on both American and Chinese intellectual traditions such as American nonviolence activism, Taoism, and Buddhism to formulate a vision of nonviolence in curriculum studies. Centering cross-cultural education and pedagogy about, for, and through nonviolence, this volume contributes to internationalizing curriculum studies and introduces curriculum theorizing at the level of higher education. Hongyu Wang brings together stories, dialogues, and juxtapositions of cross-cultural pathways and pedagogies in a powerful case for theorizing and performing nonviolence education as visionary work in the internationalization of curriculum studies.

    Abstract: Social Identity explains how identification, seen as a social process, works: individually, interactionally and institutionally. Building on the international success of previous editions, this fourth edition offers a concise, comprehensive and readable critical introduction to social science theories of identity for advanced undergraduates and postgraduates. All the chapters have been updated, and extra new material has been added where relevant, integrating the most recent critical publications in the field.As with the earlier editions, the emphasis is on sociology, anthropology and social psychology; on the interplay between relationships of similarity and difference; on interaction; on the categorisation of others as well as self-identification; and on power, institutions and organisations.Written in clear, accessible language, and informed by relevant topical examples throughout, this fully updated new edition will be useful for students interested in social identity throughout the social sciences and humanities.

    Series Statement: Routledge Studies in Anthropology v.17
    DDC: 304.23
    Abstract: This edited collection disrupts dominant narratives about space, states, and borders, bringing comparative ethnographic and geographic scholarship in conversation with one another to illuminate the varied ways in which space becomes socialized via political, economic, and cognitive appropriation. Societies must, first and foremost, do more than wrangle over ownership and land rights - they must dwell in space. Yet, historically the interactions between the state's territorial imperative with previous forms of landscape management have unfolded in a variety of ways, including top-down imposition, resistance, and negotiation between local and external actors. These interactions have resulted in hybrid forms of territoriality, and are often fraught with fundamentally different perceptions of landscape. This book foregrounds these experiences and draws attention to situations in which different social constructions of space and territory coincide, collide, or overlap. Each ethnographic case in this volume presents forms of territoriality that are contingent upon contested histories, politics, landscape, the presence or absence of local heterogeneity and the involvement of multiple external actors with differing motivations - ultimately all resulting in the potential for conflict or collaboration and divergent implications for conceptions of community, autochthony and identity.

    Abstract: This volume brings together a range of approaches to the role of media in processes of sociolinguistic change. Its 17 chapters and five section commentaries examine the impact of mediatization on language use and ideologies from five complementary perspectives: media influence on linguistic structure, media engagement in interaction, change in mass and new media language, language-ideological change, and the role of media for minority languages.

    Abstract: He was a friend of James Joyce, Pablo Picasso, e.e. cummings, John Dos Passos, Irving Berlin, and F. Scott Fitzgerald--and the enemy of Ezra Pound, H.L. Mencken, and Ernest Hemingway. He was so influential a critic that Edmund Wilson declared that he had played a leading role in the "liquidation of genteel culture in America." Yet today many students of American culture would not recognize his name. He was Gilbert Seldes, and in this brilliant biographical study, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Michael Kammen recreates a singularly American life of letters. Equally important, Kammen uses Seldes's life as a lens through which to bring into sharp focus the dramatic shifts in American culture that occurred in the half-century after World War I. Born in 1893, Seldes saw in his lifetime an astonishing series of innovations in popular and mass culture: silent films and talkies, the phonograph and the radio, the coming of television, and the proliferation of journalism aimed at mainstream America in such venues as Vanity Fair, The Saturday Evening Post, and Esquire. (His monthly column in Esquire was called "The Lively Arts.") Seldes was more than a witness to these changes, however; he was the leading champion of popular culture in his time, and a skilled practitioner as well. Kammen, the first scholar to enjoy access to Seldes's unpublished papers, illuminates his immense influence as the earliest cultural critic to insist that the lively arts--vaudeville, musical revues, film, jazz, and the comics--should be taken just as seriously as grand opera, the legitimate theatre, and other manifestations of high culture. As he traces Seldes's remarkable evolution from an acknowledged aesthete and highbrow to a cultural democrat with a passion for the popular arts, Kammen recaptures the critic's prescience, wit, and generosity for a newly expanded audience.
    Abstract: We witness Seldes's triumphs and travails as managing editor of The Dial, the most influential literary magazine of its time, and read of New York's endlessly feuding publications and literary rivalries. Kammen offers wonderfully detailed accounts of The Dial's introduction of "The Wasteland" in its November 1922 issue; Seldes's review of Ulysses for The Nation, one of the first (if not the very first) to appear in the U.S.; and the complete story of the writing, publication, and critical reception of The Seven Lively Arts, Seldes's most influential book. And Kammen also covers Seldes's astonishingly versatile later career as a freelance writer (on every conceivable subject), historian, novelist, playwright, filmmaker, radio scriptwriter, the first program director for CBS Television, and the founding dean of the Annenberg School of Communications at the University of Pennsylvania. One of popular culture's earliest and most eloquent champions, Seldes was nonetheless publicly worried as early as 1937 that the popularity of radio, film, and television would mean the demise of the "private art of reading." By 1957 he was warning that "with the shift of all entertainment into the area of big business, we are being engulfed into a mass-produced mediocrity." At a time when many thoughtful Americans despair of popular culture, The Lively Arts revisits the opening salvos in the ongoing debate over "democratization" versus "dumbing down" of the arts. It offers a penetrating and timely analysis of Gilbert Seldes's pioneering conviction that the popular and the great arts must not only co-exist but enrich one another if we are to realize the innovation and intensity of American culture at its best.

    Abstract: Cet ouvrage lève le voile sur les terribles forces qui hantent les profondeurs de l'esprit humain. Le cannibalisme ! Un terme dont la simple évocation entraîne, chez nous, un frisson de dégoût, un sentiment d'écœurement, tant cette notion nous semble horrible, tant elle nous paraît abjecte… en même temps qu'elle nous fascine. Sans aucune censure, cependant, ce livre déconcertant traite, avec un luxe inouï de détails et d'anecdotes, mais aussi avec le plus grand sérieux, d'un sujet qui s'intéresse à l'un des interdits les plus fondamentaux pour l'espèce humaine : celui de manger son semblable. L'auteur étudie le phénomène sous une multitude de facettes. Il examine le cannibalisme culturel et religieux, considéré comme normal, nécessaire, et faisant partie de la vie de certaines sociétés traditionnelles. Il évoque le cannibalisme lié à des conditions exceptionnelles, lorsque des malheureux furent obligés de manger leurs compagnons parce qu'ils n'avaient d'autre espoir de survivre. Il nous entraîne encore dans des affaires criminelles tristement célèbres et tellement perturbantes pour notre entendement. Car, comment admettre, en effet, que, dans nos sociétés contemporaines, d'incroyables pulsions animales puissent pousser certains à consommer de la chair humaine. Cet ouvrage nous présente une série de situations et de récits qui bouleverseront à jamais notre perception de l'Homme. Un livre d'Histoire et d'histoires vraies à vous donner froid dans le dos… EXTRAIT :  Nourrir les dieux et pratiquer la magie Lorsque Cortés et son armée atteignirent Mexico au début du XVIe siècle, ils découvrirent une culture basée sur le cannibalisme et le sacrifice humain à grande échelle. Les fondateurs aztèques de cette culture n'étaient installés que depuis quelques siècles et leur religion remarquablement élaborée s'était créée petit à petit durant cette période.
    Abstract: Ils empruntèrent des dieux aux autres tribus, les ajoutant à leur propre panthéon, et en créèrent de nouveau pour combler certains manques évidents. Au moment où Cortès arriva, ils avaient « tellement de dieux que même les peuples voisins n'étaient pas capables de les énumérer ». (cf. Tannahill) Les Aztèques voulaient garder les dieux de leur côté, et ce à n'importe quel prix. Cela devait finir par poser problème. Les Aztèques étaient déjà à leur cinquième monde et étaient déterminés à ce qu'il ne finisse pas comme les quatre précédents. Ils se battraient de toutes leurs forces pour que le soleil continue sa course et que les monstres de l'aube restent à distance. Le soleil avait été créé par le sacrifice d'un dieu (il s'était jeté dans un brasier) et mis en mouvement par le sang et les cœurs d'autres dieux. Il semblait donc juste, pour ne pas dire logique, que les humains pratiquent leurs propres sacrifices pour que le monde continue à fonctionner. Et puisque les hommes peuvent devenir nerveux quand leurs chefs commencent à les tuer en grand nombre, les cœurs et le sang devaient en grande partie provenir d'étrangers. Pour permettre cela, les Aztèques entretenaient un état plus ou moins permanent de guerre, durant lequel il était mieux vu de faire des prisonniers que de tuer les ennemis. Pendant 200 ans, les armées aztèques ont parcouru l'Amérique centrale à la recherche de victimes étrangères.

    Abstract: Eine Geschichte von Flucht und Vertreibung - und von den Schwierigkeiten der Integration. 1949 bezogen zwanzig donauschwäbische Familien aus dem Dorf Brestowatz in der Batschka im heutigen Serbien eine Barackensiedlung im hessischen Obersuhl. Die Familien waren 1944 vor der heranrückenden Sowjetarmee geflohen und fanden hier eine vorläufige Bleibe. Obwohl sie sich selbst als Deutsche verstanden, kamen sie nach Deutschland in die Fremde. Abgeschottet von ihrer Umgebung ließen sie ihre mitgebrachte Lebensweise wieder aufleben. In dieser Brestowatzer Welt in Obersuhl wuchs Rosemarie Bovier von ihrem 3. bis zu ihrem 12. Lebensjahr auf. Im Spannungsfeld zwischen der Heimat der Familie (derhom) und dem neuen Zuhause (dohaus), zwischen den Erzählungen der Bewohner und den Erfahrungen außerhalb der Siedlung erzählt die Autorin ihre Geschichte der Integration. Sie berichtet von einer Heimat, die sie selbst nur aus zweiter Hand kennenlernt, und von einer verdrängten Wahrheit: Nach und nach wird sichtbar, dass die enge Verstrickung vieler Brestowatzer mit dem NS-Regime und die Täterschaft des eigenen Vaters als SS-Mann in dieser erzählten Heimat unterschlagen wurden.   Biographische Informationen Rosemarie Bovier wurde 1947 in Obersuhl (Hessen) geboren. Nach dem Studium der Germanistik und Geografie in Frankfurt am Main unterrichtete sie an Gymnasien in Bad Hersfeld, Wolfenbüttel und Wolfsburg. Daneben war sie als Fachberaterin bei der Bezirksregierung in Braunschweig tätig. Heute lebt sie in Wolfenbüttel.

    Abstract: This book represents the coming together of two key debates within organization studies: theorizing on gender and ways of understanding resistance. These debates have been given renewed vigour with the 'postmodern turn' in organization studies and feminist theory. Fusing these two literatures together offers a far deeper understanding of the issues of power, subjectivity and agency. Representing a growing interest in the contributions that feminist theorizing can offer to the study of organizations, this book focuses on issues of gender and resistance in organizations and, in particular, presents theorising which attends to the dualistic debate of compliance versus resistance to offer more generative understandings of reistance.

    Abstract: East Asia from 1400 to 1850 was a vibrant web of connections, and the southern coast of the Korean peninsula participated in a maritime world that stretched to Southeast Asia and beyond. Within this world were Japanese pirates, traders, and fishermen. They brought things to the Korean peninsula and they took things away. The economic and demographic structures of Kyongsang Province had deep and wide connections with these Japanese traders. Social and political clashes revolving around the Japan House in Pusan reveal Korean mentalities towards the Japanese connection. This study seeks to define 'Korea' by examining its frontier with Japan. The guiding problems are the relations between structures and agents and the self-definitions reached by pre-modern Koreans in their interaction with the Japanese. Case studies range from demography to taxation to trade to politics to prostitution. The study draws on a wide base of primary sources for Korea and Japan and introduces the problems that animate modern scholarship in both countries. It offers a model approach for Korea's northern frontier with China and shows that the peninsula was and is a complex brocade of differing regions. The book will be of interest to anyone concerned with pre-1900 East Asia, Korea in particular, and especially Korea's relations with the outside world. Anyone interested in early-modern Japan and its external relations will also find it essential reading.

    Abstract: This classic ethnography examines the social and economic position of women in Bamena, British Cameroons, in 1944. The field study was prompted by the conditions in Bamenda, when despite considerable natural resources, there was underpopulation, a very high infant mortality, and the status of women was very low. This rich and engaging study looks at all aspects of life in Bamena, and includes a number of original photographs.

    Abstract: Dans ce troisième tome de la collection 'Des choses de la vie', la psychanalyste Diane Drory pose un regard perspicace sur les relations parfois chahutées entre frères et soeurs ainsi que sur les rapports souvent difficiles des parents avec leurs enfants et ados. Chamboulée par les nouvelles technologies, le règne de l'enfant-roi et la banalisation des divorces, la famille d'aujourd'hui est paradoxalement l'endroit où la vie est supposée se dérouler dans le luxe, le calme et la volupté, comme dans une pub. Les batailles rangées, les jalousies, les colères et les crises n'auraient-elles donc pas de valeur ajoutée? Les trente récits relatés avec humour et délicatesse dans ce livre proposent à chacun de revisiter les aspérités de sa famille et de la rendre plus passionnante encore. « On ne choisit pas ses parents, on ne choisit pas sa famille. On ne se choisit même pas soi-même » Philippe Geluck.

    Abstract: Le témoignage de Samanta Borzi est celui d'une renaissance et d'une fabuleuse évolution. Petite fille mal aimée, elle est terrorisée par une belle-mère qui lui fait croire que le diable et l'enfer sont partout.Elle grandit dans un univers peuplé de cauchemars, minée par une image désastreuse qu'elle a d'elle-même.À l'adolescence, elle plonge : prostitution et drogue. Accro à l'héroïne, le drame éclate : Samanta, enceinte, s'endort après avoir pris une dose et perd son bébé in utero.Inconsolable, dévorée par un sentiment terrible de culpabilité, elle sombre encore plus dans la drogue.Enceinte pour la deuxième fois et toujours dépendante de la drogue, Samanta met au monde un fils. Il naît drogué et en manque. Un soir, la jeune femme le dépose dans un hôpital et, le coeur anéanti, supplie qu'on le prenne en charge, car elle se sait incapable de subvenir à son bien-être.Jusqu'au jour où...Samanta Borzi nous livre ici, en toute intimité, une autobiographie poignante. Sans détour, elle n'hésite pas à évoquer les étapes difficiles de sa vie.A PROPOS DE L'AUTEUR :Aujourd'hui, Samanta est comédienne et a récupéré son fils placé longtemps en famille d'accueil. Elle est à l'affiche du film « Moroccan Gigolo's » d'Ismaël Saïdi. Et les projets s'enchaînent.EXTRAIT :PRENEZ-LE, JE L'AIME TROPCela faisait plusieurs semaines que ma consommation de drogue était de plus en plus chaotique, les hallucinations et les crises psychotiques allaient croissantes. Prise d'une peur panique, je me suis rendue chez une psychiatre pour déposer ce fardeau que je portais depuis huit mois.Je lui ai tout expliqué en lui demandant de l'aide.Elle m'a écoutée attentivement et m'a prescrit un médicament, le Solian1.En me tendant l'ordonnance, elle me rassura et me dit que cette béquille m'aiderait et ferait disparaitre tous les symptômes.Après m'être rendue à la pharmacie, j'ai ouvert...
    Abstract: la boîte de médicaments et j'ai lu la notice.Voyant qu'on le prescrivait en cas de schizophrénie, je n'ai pas voulu le prendre, je ne me sentais pas concernée et je me suis dit qu'il n'était pas approprié à mon état.Au lieu de ça, je suis allée acheter une boulette de coke et je suis rentrée chez moi.Je n'avais jamais été autant accro, il ne restait plus rien de la Samanta que j'avais été, la coke l'avait complètement dévorée…Les deux jours qui ont suivi, j'ai à peine dormi trois heures, je n'avais plus un sou, j'avais tout dépensé dans la came. Tout l'appartement empestait l'ammoniac avec lequel je préparais ma coke. Tout était en chantier. Des tas de déchets de ma consommation traînaient au sol : aluminium chiffonné, plusieurs bouteilles en plastique à terre, pleines de cendre qui me servait à fumer ma crasse, du linge accumulé dans toutes les pièces. Plus de langes, ni d'eau en bouteille pour le petit, à peine de quoi lui faire encore un biberon.Mon corps et mon esprit étaient à bout….

    Abstract: The Western Balkan countries have been both a popular subject matter for diachronic analysis and a 1990s favorite. The significant changes that followed the most recent times of conflict in the region mostly evolve around the process of Europeanization. Despite the plethora of analyses, most approaches to the Western Balkans suffer from theoretical stagnancy, ex parte political practice, and detachment of politics from societal needs. This volume is the work of a team of theorists and practitioners who attempt a multidisciplinary approach to Western Balkans reality. An Agenda for the Western Balkans offers a critical view on issues that have been over-analyzed in mainstream terms and opens a discussion that will occupy researchers and practitioners for years to come. It addresses novel topics and engages in innovative approaches that cut across disciplines of social sciences (political science, international relations, sociology, historiography, geography, political economy) and levels of analysis (local, national, regional, European, global). This collection is a pioneer theoretical and practical guide towards a sustainable future for the Western Balkans.

    Abstract: Family-related migration is moving to the center of political debates on migration, integration, and multiculturalism in Europe. Still, strands of academic research on family migrations and migrant families remain separate from-and sometimes ignorant of-each other. This volume seeks to bridge the disciplinary divide. Collectively, the authors address the need to better understand the diversity of family-related migration and its resulting family forms and practices, to question simplistic assumptions about migrant families in public discourse, to study family migration from a mix of disciplinary perspectives, and to acknowledge the state's role in shaping family-related migration, practices, and lives.

    Abstract: What is the role of social media on fundamental change in Arab countries in the Middle East and North Africa? Online Arab Spring responds to this question, considering five countries: Egypt, Libya, Jordan, Yemen, and Tunisia, along with additional examples. The book asks why the penetration rate for social media differs in different countries: are psychological and social factors at play? Each chapter considers national identity, the legitimacy crisis, social capital, information and media literacy, and socialization. Religious attitudes are introduced as a key factor in social media, with Arabic countries in the Middle East and North Africa being characterized by Islamic trends. The insight gained will be helpful for analysing online social media effects internationally, and predicting future movements in a social context. provides innovative interdisciplinary research, incorporating media studies, cultural aspects, identity and psychology presents a detailed study of factors such as national heritage, cultural homogeneity, belief system and consumer ethnocentrism focuses on religious attitudes in the context of online media.

It is these social forces that represent the legitimate self-defense against corporate breaches of human rights condoned by their governments.

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

    Abstract: The Naqab Bedouin and Colonialism brings together new scholarship to challenge perceived paradigms, often dominated by orientalist, modernist or developmentalist assumptions on the Naqab Bedouin. The past decade has witnessed a change in both the wider knowledge production on, and political profile of, the Naqab Bedouin. This book addresses this change by firstly, endeavouring to overcome the historic isolation of Naqab Bedouin studies from the rest of Palestine studies by situating, studying and analyzing their predicaments firmly within the contemporary context of Israeli settler-colonial policies. Secondly, it strives to de-colonise research and advocacy on the Naqab Bedouin, by, for example, reclaiming 'indigenous' knowledge and terminology. Offering not only a nuanced description and analysis of Naqab Bedouin agency and activism, but also trying to draw broader conclusion as to the functioning of settler-colonial power structures as well as to the politics of research in such a context, this book is essential reading for students and researchers with an interest in Postcolonial Studies, Development Studies, Israel/Palestine Studies and the contemporary Middle East more broadly.

    Abstract: The focus of the book is on different ways of knowing: the western scientific way (reductionist, dualistic and materialist) versus the indigenous approach (holistic, non-dualistic, and spiritual). It discusses both science and medicine in the context of the challenges experienced in introducing science and medicine into Africa through imperialism, colonization, and globalization. It looks at selected indigenous African paradigms, the dominant western paradigms, and the practitioners that represent these practices. The book deals with questions concerning compatibility and incompatibility of different ways of knowing and delves into epistemological stances, and the assumptions underlying these epistemologies. The volume investigates whether, and how a person can accommodate different epistemologies, and the nature of such accommodations.

    Abstract: Do women participate in and influence meetings equally with men? Does gender shape how a meeting is run and whose voices are heard? The Silent Sex shows how the gender composition and rules of a deliberative body dramatically affect who speaks, how the group interacts, the kinds of issues the group takes up, whose voices prevail, and what the group ultimately decides. It argues that efforts to improve the representation of women will fall short unless they address institutional rules that impede women's voices. Using groundbreaking experimental research supplemented with analysis of school boards, Christopher Karpowitz and Tali Mendelberg demonstrate how the effects of rules depend on women's numbers, so that small numbers are not fatal with a consensus process, but consensus is not always beneficial when there are large numbers of women. Men and women enter deliberative settings facing different expectations about their influence and authority. Karpowitz and Mendelberg reveal how the wrong institutional rules can exacerbate women's deficit of authority while the right rules can close it, and, in the process, establish more cooperative norms of group behavior and more generous policies for the disadvantaged. Rules and numbers have far-reaching implications for the representation of women and their interests. Bringing clarity and insight to one of today's most contentious debates, The Silent Sex provides important new findings on ways to bring women's voices into the conversation on matters of common concern.

    Abstract: This book retrieves conceptions of national identity and ways of feeling French that competed against each other in the 19th century. By distinguishing between two groups of French writers, three who experienced the 1789 revolution as adults (de Gouges, de Chateaubriand, de Staël) and three who did not (Stendhal, Mérimée, Sand), it captures evolving understandings of the nation, as well as thoughts and emotions associated with national belonging.

The main goal of this book is to firmly establish the cross-linguistic occurrence of the zero-marking of spatial relations and to provide a framework for its study in terms of economy and predictability.

    Abstract: Kinder, Jugendliche und Erwachsene haben ein allgemeines Bedürfnis nach Affiliation, nach sozialem Kontakt zu anderen. Sie streben danach, sich anderen anzuschließen und verbringen einen erheblichen Teil ihres Lebens in der Gesellschaft anderer Menschen. Dies geht wohl größtenteils darauf zurück, dass der gegenseitige Zusammenhalt in unserer evolutionären Vergangenheit die Überlebenschancen verbessert hat. Ein Mangel an Affiliation kann Einsamkeit, Depression und ein geringes Selbstwertgefühl zur Folge haben. Gerade in schwierigen Situationen sucht man nach Nähe, Trost und Unterstützung. Dieses Bindungsverhalten ist bereits im Säuglingsalter beobachtbar. Die Aufnahme von Freundschaften stellt eine Entwicklungsaufgabe im Jugendalter dar und gehört bereits im Kindesalter zu den zentralen Aspekten einer gesunden Entwicklung. Welche Bedeutung hat Freundschaft für Kinder und Jugendliche? Was sind die Effekte von Freundschaften in diesem Alter? Wie entstehen Freundschaften? Was beinhalten Freundschaftsbeziehungen? Was sind die Gründe für das Fehlen von Freundschaften und was die Auswirkungen davon? Wie zeigen sich geschlechtsspezifische Unterschiede in Freundschaften?   Auszug aus dem Text Textprobe: Kapitel 3.3, Kontaktstrategien: Außer den oben erwähnten Selektionsmerkmalen sind auch individuelle innere Bedingungen an der Entstehung von Freundschaftsbeziehungen beteiligt. Neben einem allgemeinen Anschlussmotiv, der Affiliation, wie sie in der Einleitung bereits beschrieben wurde, also dem Motiv den Kontakt und den Umgang mit anderen zu suchen, existiert auch noch eine interpersonale Orientierung, die für die Aufrechterhaltung einer Freundschaft sorgt. Die interpersonale Orientierung beschreibt eine Haltung, die sich weniger nach den äußerlichen Faktoren wie der räumlichen Nähe oder der ethnischen Herkunft richtet, sondern an der Persönlichkeit des...
    Abstract: einzelnen Menschen interessiert ist. So kommen enge Beziehungen leichter und schneller zustande, wenn beide Partner eine starke interpersonale Orientierung besitzen (vgl. Wagner 1994, S. 58). Im Folgenden werden die individuellen Voraussetzungen für Kontaktaufnahmen, die Bedeutung des Umfeldes dabei sowie die unterschiedlichen Kontaktaufnahmestrategien im Kindes- und Jugendalter vorgestellt. 3.3.1, Individuelle Voraussetzungen: Kinder und Jugendliche, die mehr Erfahrungen mit Gleichaltrigen sammeln konnten, haben es leichter beim Anknüpfen von sozialen Beziehungen. Sie unternehmen häufiger etwas mit anderen zusammen und sind weniger oft allein als Kinder und Jugendliche mit geringeren sozialen Erfahrungen. Von besonderer Bedeutung für die soziale Entwicklung des Kindes ist die Beziehung zu den Eltern. Vor allem die Beziehung zur Mutter hat nachhaltigen Einfluss auf alle weiteren Beziehungen des Kindes (vgl. Wagner 1994, S. 60). Die Art der Mutterbeziehung, welche am Ende des ersten Lebensjahres feststellbar ist, kann sich in einer unsicheren oder sicheren Bindung ausdrücken. Erlebt ein Kind durch die Mutter oder eine andere wichtige Bezugsperson effektiven Trost und emotionale Regulation, so lernt es sich rasch zu beruhigen und wieder der Außenwelt zuzuwenden. Eine sichere Bindung ermöglicht es dem Kind seine räumliche und soziale Umgebung zu erkunden. Es besteht ein relativ enger Zusammenhang zwischen einer sicheren Mutterbindung und dem Umfang an Erfahrungen mit Gleichaltrigen, denn die aus dem Umgang mit der Mutter gewonnenen positiven Erwartungen an die soziale Umwelt erleichtern die Aufnahme von Kontakten zu anderen Kindern. Eine sichere Bindungsqualität ist durch die direkte Kommunikation von Gefühlen, vor allem bei Kummer, gegenüber Vertrauten gekennzeichnet. Kinder, die eine unsichere Bindung erfahren haben, sind eher zurückhaltend und
    Abstract: passiv, sie erfahren weniger Zuwendung und Beachtung von anderen. Wohingegen sicher gebundene Kinder attraktivere Spielpartner sind, dementsprechend mehr positive Zuwendung bekommen und kaum Feindseligkeiten erfahren. Die Art der Mutterbindung gibt also Auskunft über die Bereitschaft, Kontakte zu anderen Kindern aufzunehmen sowie über die Wahrscheinlichkeit von anderen akzeptiert oder abgelehnt zu werden. Aber ob sicher gebundene Kinder wirklich mehr Freunde haben als unsicher gebundene Kinder und ob ihre Freundschaften länger und konfliktfreier andauern, ist nicht klar (vgl. Wagner 1994, S. 61). Das Verhältnis der Eltern zum Kind ist auch außerhalb der Bindungsforschung in Beziehung gesetzt worden. Es stellte sich heraus, dass Kinder, deren Mütter länger mit ihnen zusammen spielten, häufiger Kontakt zu Gleichaltrigen aufnahmen als andere und dass Söhne, deren Mütter sich öfter mit ihnen unterhielten, hilfsbereiter gegenüber ihren Spielkameraden waren, während Söhne von direktiven, bestimmenden Vätern weniger kommunizierten. Aufgrund der individuellen Erfahrungen mit ihren Eltern haben es Kinder und Jugendliche leichter oder schwerer den Kontakt zu Gleichaltrigen aufzunehmen und mit ihnen auszukommen. Die bisherigen Ansätze der Forschung beschränkten sich allerdings auf Momentaufnahmen sowie der einseitigen Betrachtungsweise, dass Freundschaft nur durch den Wunsch und die Hilfe der sozialen Fähigkeiten eines Kindes oder Jugendlichen entstünde. Die Bedürfnisse, Merkmale und Verhaltensweisen des anderen Partners und die Sichtweise beider Partner wurden nicht berücksichtigt. Hinzu kommt, dass je nach Alter und Entwicklungsstand, wie auch die Untersuchung von Valtin es zeigt, die Merkmale des Partners unterschiedlich attraktiv wahrgenommen werden. Ein bestimmtes Kind ist für ein jüngeres Kind attraktiv, weil es ein tolles Spielzeug besitzt, während
    Abstract: für ein älteres Kind dasselbe Kind aufgrund gewisser Persönlichkeitsmerkmale als Freund in Frage kommt. Die Kinder und Jugendliche benötigen soziale Fertigkeiten, um Freundschaften anzubahnen und zu erhalten. Soziale Fertigkeiten sind Kompetenzen wie sich 'zu Gruppenaktivitäten Zugang verschaffen zu können, Gleichaltrigen zuzustimmen und ihnen zu helfen, Konflikte angemessen zu handhaben und Sensibilität und Taktgefühl walten zu lassen' (Rubin 1981, S. 46). Diese subtilen Fertigkeiten werden mit der sozialen Entwicklung erworben, was nicht einfach ist. Weiterhin zählen zu den sozialen Fertigkeiten auch die, die einen Freund ausmachen, nämlich ein aufmerksamer und hilfreicher Partner zu sein, der Anerkennung zeigt. Hartup et al. stellten fest, dass Kinder, die anderen Kindern viel Aufmerksamkeit schenken, Lob spenden, Zuneigung zeigen und bereitwillig auf die Wünsche der Spielpartner eingehen, sehr beliebt sind. Während Kinder, die andere oft ignorieren, Kooperation verweigern, andere tadeln, lächerlich machen oder gar bedrohen, am ehesten abgelehnt werden. Will man akzeptiert und aufgenommen werden, muss man seinerseits offen für andere sein und andere akzeptieren (auch wenn freundliches Verhalten nicht immer eine Freundschaft nach sich zieht) (vgl. Rubin 1981, S. 50). Die Art und Häufigkeit der Beziehungen eines Kindes oder Jugendlichen werden anscheinend von seiner interpersonalen Orientierung beeinflusst, von seinen Erfahrungen, von der Art seiner Mutterbindung, von der Beziehung zu seinen Eltern, von seinen sozialen Bedürfnissen sowie von der Art seiner Erklärungen für das Verhalten von anderen ihm gegenüber (vgl. Wagner 1994, S. 63). Ob ein Kind oder Jugendlicher zum Beispiel eine Zurückweisung eines anderen leicht oder schwer verkraftet, hängt davon ab, wie es oder er sich diese Zurückweisung selbst erklärt. Die Zurückweisung kann von
    Abstract: inneren Faktoren, wie persönlichen Unzulänglichkeiten, abhängig gemacht werden oder von äußeren Faktoren, wie Missverständnissen oder einer schlechten Laune des Gegenübers. Obwohl den sozialen Erfahrungen mit Gleichaltrigen viel Bedeutung beigemessen wird, sind Untersuchungen über ihren Einfluss auf die späteren Sozialbeziehungen selten. Die Erfahrungen mit Gleichaltrigen scheinen aber die Kontaktaufnahme zu fremden Kindern und Jugendlichen zu erleichtern, außerdem werden die Kommunikationsfähigkeit und die Interaktivität gefördert.   Biographische Informationen Nicole Waldheim, geb.

    Abstract: The figure of the vampire has been around for centuries, and has lost none of its fascination. Although, the portrayal of the vampire in literature today has not much in common with its historical origins, the vampire belief is based on true events. Bram Stoker's novel 'Dracula' laid the foundation for the success story of the vampire. He created something sinister, a monster in the shape of a gentleman. The evil of the Victorian society was personified in the form of the revenant. Boundaries between good and evil, human and non-human, death and life are blurred and unrecognizable in his book. In contrast, Anne Rice creates a world where humans and vampires live next to each other. Her vampires resemble human beings not only in terms of their bodies, but also in terms of their minds. There is no horror detectable, but amazement and identification with the revenants by the reader. In this context, the differentiation of the constructed images of the vampires in the two novels, 'Dracula' by Bram Stoker and 'Interview with the Vampire' by Anne Rice, is analyzed. Thereby, the study investigates those elements that have been adopted, those ones that have developed over the time, and the consequences that go along with the manner of construction.   Auszug aus dem Text Text Sample: Chapter 4.5, Power Relationships: The sexual otherness which vampires embody is the key to forbidden human desires. The Count does not get involved in genital sexual activities but oral one. Through this otherness it is possible for Dracula to engage in 'forbidden sexual practices' (Schopp 233). It 'both reflects and fosters a desire to break free from sexual constraints, while its immortality reflects and fosters a desire to break free from physical constraints' (Schopp 233). Therein lies the vampire's power and he can consequently move in a room away from moral society. He...
    Abstract: can moreover control his victims (Schopp 233). When the men chase Dracula and finally meet him in one of his houses, the Count speaks to them: 'My revenge is just begun! I spread it over centuries, and time is on my side. Your girls that you all love are mine already; and through them you and others shall yet be mine - my creatures, to do my bidding and to be my jackals when I want to feed.' (Stoker 365) Lucy has already been under his control in Whitby. When she awakes after been bitten by Dracula the first time, Mina describes her as looking 'better this morning than she has done for weeks' (Stoker 115). Moreover, she returns to Dracula every time he calls her. Mina finds her several times at the open window, once even with 'something that looked like a good-sized bird' (Stoker 117), Count Dracula, as the reader learns to know in the course of the novel. To 'bend others to [his] will' and 'taking whatever [he] wanted', therein lies Dracula's power (Schopp 233). The figure of the vampire transgresses the borders humans have to cope with every day (Schopp 233). Dracula lives in the world also humans live in, yet he does not have to live compliant to its rules but makes his own ones. Humans are attracted by the possibility to live completely according to their own will without obeying social borders and moral obstacles. Nevertheless, it seems that the Count has only power over human beings and not over the three female vampires he lives with. He has forbidden them to bite Harker, yet they try to feed on him. Dracula in anger shouts: 'How dare you touch him, any of you? How dare you cast eyes on him when I had forbidden it?' (Stoker 53). Humans are longing for liberty from social norms. The female vampires in Dracula have already achieved this status and thus do not have to obey Dracula's orders but live according to their own rules and desires.
    Abstract: Moreover, Dracula has another power. He does not want to attract attention during his stay in England, thus he learns the language and becomes younger. As long as he can be recognized as a stranger, Harker and his companions are able to pursue him. But that becomes more and more difficult. It is hard to differentiate him from the crowd around him when seen on the streets of London. He has the power to melt with the culture around him and gets consequently indistinguishable. Thus, much of the terror he evokes comes from his 'ability to stroll, unrecognized and unhindered, through the streets of London' (Arata 134). Moreover, as long as he is not recognized as foreigner he 'is able to work his will unhampered' (Arata 134). The knowledge Dracula gains bit by bit leads to 'anarchy: it undermines social structures, disrupts the order of nature, and ends alarmingly in the appropriation and exploitation of bodies' (Arata 134). Dracula creates a relation of dependence. His power is increasing with his growing knowledge and he already controls the girls of his pursuers. It becomes obvious that the vampire hunters around van Helsing have to destroy Dracula before he is able to blend completely with society, becomes consequently undestroyable and also turns Mina into a vampire, a creature they are hunting (Blumentrath 403f). This functions only by defeating the Count with his own weapons. The behavior is similar to traditional dances in which persons mask to imitate what they fear, are thus able to approach the unknown other and identify with it (Schäuble 47). The situation reverses as soon as the masked people embody the dreadful and powerful (Schäuble 47). The hunters in Dracula try to eradicate the difference between themselves and the terrifying figure of the Count, thus integrating the Other or even becoming the Other and consequently being able to
    Abstract: surmount it (Schäuble 48). To ward off the evil, the protagonists have to collect as many information about the Count as possible. 4.6, Knowledge: Consequently, the characters in Stoker's classical novel are very faithful concerning the use of new technologies. Everything is written down, recorded, collected and put together. According to Lubrich, this obsession with writing is a writing against terror and insanity (Lubrich 119). Mostly however, the otherness of Dracula and the strange situations get solved if written down (Blumentrath 399). Blumenberg states that persons fear most the unknown. As long as it is unknown and has no name there is no way to confirm it by oath, to fight against it magically or even destroy it. Thus something nameless constitutes the greatest terror. (Blumenberg 40) Hence, Dracula has to be recorded so that the terror he creates can be banned. There are several occasions where the importance of writing everything down is emphasized. A typical example therefore states Harker: 'As I must do something or go mad; I write this diary' (Stoker 344). Since the Count embodies something foreign, something Other and above all, something unknown it is only possible to fight and destroy him in the end, if the enemy is known (Schäuble 49). Yet, it is not only important to know Dracula, but also to observe the other vampire hunters. In particular Mina has to be watched carefully after her attack by the Count, so that every little change is recognized and can be reacted upon (Blumentrath 400f). Therefore, every piece of information is written down immediately 'by day and by hour and by minute' (Stoker 221). Wünsch even compared vampirism with a disease. Knowing the disease enables the physician to fight it and thus everything is observed and written down (Wünsch 223). Thus, also Mina's 'vampire disease' has to be closely observed. The
    Abstract: vampire hunter's strength is their 'power of combination - a power denied to the vampire kind' and the 'resources of science' (Stoker 285). The documents collected and put together by Mina constitute a picture of the Count and his activities, so that the hunters can track Dracula. With means of modern transportation and communication they are able pursue him. Conversely, van Helsing relativizes the use of modern technologies continuously in the novel. Nevertheless, Stoker not only describes but constantly uses all means of transportation and also at that time new techniques like the typewriter, phonograph, telegraph, telephone and finally also medical treatments like blood transfusions (Kroner 79). Nevertheless, it is not possible to kill Dracula with modern technologies and science. The Count represents the traditional, the superstitious and conservative world. So, it is only possible to destroy him with conventional, particularly Christian, methods like the use of garlic, rosary, holy water or a host (Strübe 74). Like mentioned in the previous chapter, Pütz compares the figure of the vampire with a reversed figure of Jesus. Thus it makes sense that destroying Dracula is not possible with modern technologies and science but only with the use of Christian symbols (Strübe 74). Furthermore, Dracula tries to integrate himself in England. He learns the language and his library is full of works about various topics concerning the British Empire, so that he is not considered as stranger. Yet, the short hand Harker uses to write to his wife is a mystery to him. The Count embodies the tradition, the vampire chasers constitute the English modernity (Wünsch 224f). The hunters around van Helsing exclude Dracula from their community. Stoker stereotypes the Count as an outsider, a traditionalist who is not able to cope with modernity and is thus finally

    Abstract: Das Buch ‚Partizipation von Jugendlichen - ein Kinderspiel?' ist in einer Kooperation von Julia Verena Köffer (Sozialwirtschaft B.A., Jugendhilfe M.A.) mit Simon Schnetzer (Dipl. Volkswirt), Geschäftsführer von ‚DATAJOCKEY: Social Research & Dialogue', entstanden. Im Rahmen der Kooperation wurde das Jugendforschungs- und Beteiligungsprojekt 'junge Deutsche' mit Methoden der Qualitativen Sozialforschung ausgewertet. Erkenntnisinteresse der Auswertung war die Beantwortung der Frage: Wie müssen kommunale Beteiligungsprozesse gestaltet werden, um erfolgreich zu sein? Für die qualitative Studie wurden im Zeitraum von Juni bis August 2013 mündliche Befragungen in Form von ExpertInneninterviews und Gruppendiskussionen mit TeilnehmerInnen des Projektes 'junge Deutsche' durchgeführt. Die Ergebnisse dieser mündlichen Befragungen wurden anhand einer Qualitativen Analyse aufbereitet und stellten die Grundlage, für die von den Autoren entwickelten Handlungsempfehlungen für Beteiligungsprozesse von Jugendlichen im kommunalen Raum dar. Um diese Handlungsempfehlungen in einen Kontext zu stellen, wird in Teil 1 des Buches auf die Partizipation Jugendlicher als Handlungsmaxime von Jugendarbeit eingegangen. Im zweiten Teil werden die Rahmenbedingungen der Partizipation junger Menschen im kommunalen Raum dargestellt. Zum einen wird mit dem vorliegenden Buch die Intention verfolgt einen Überblick über das Feld der Partizipation Heranwachsender in der Kommune zu geben. Zum anderen kann mit den Handlungsempfehlungen für Beteiligungsprozesse im kommunalen Raum zur Beantwortung der Frage, wie die Partizipation junger Menschen in ihrem Wohnumfeld gelingen kann, beigetragen werden. Auszug aus dem TextTextprobe:Kapitel 2, Partizipation von Jugendlichen im kommunalen Raum:Der zweite Teil des vorliegenden Buches geht näher auf die Partizipation von Jugendlichen im kommunalen...
    Abstract: Raum ein. In diesem Zusammenhang wird der Schwerpunkt auf die Gestaltung von Beteiligungsprozessen im Lebensumfeld junger Menschen gelegt. Zu diesem Zweck wird zu Beginn in Kapitel 2.1 aus verschiedenen Perspektiven begründet, warum die Partizipation in der Kommune nicht ausschließlich einen Selbstzweck verfolgt, sondern sowohl den jungen Menschen selbst als auch den Kommunen nützt.2.1, Begründungszusammenhänge:Argumente für die Partizipation von jungen Menschen im kommunalen Raum finden sich in verschiedenen Fachdiskursen: unter anderem in der Rechtswissenschaft, der Politikwissenschaft oder der Pädagogik. Im ersten Teil dieser Veröffentlichung wurde aus dem Blickwinkel der Rechtswissenschaft argumentiert, warum die Partizipation junger Menschen an sie betreffenden Angelegenheiten notwendig ist. An dieser Stelle wird die Bedeutsamkeit der Beteiligung Heranwachsender in der Kommune zuerst aus politischer Sichtweise und schließlich aus pädagogischer Perspektive begründet. Diese beiden Zugänge spielen im Kontext dieser Untersuchung eine besondere Rolle, da sich das Handlungsfeld Jugendarbeit genau in ihrer Schnittmenge befindet (vgl. Moser 2010, S. 87). Vollständigkeitshalber wird zum Abschluss dieses Kapitels noch auf Gegenargumente der Partizipation junger Menschen in ihrem Lebensumfeld eingegangen.2.1.1, Politische Argumente:Gemäß dem partizipatorischen Demokratieverständnis ist Partizipation die aktive Praxis der Demokratie (vgl. Knauer/Sturzenhecker 2005, S. 68). Dieses Verständnis will die Beteiligung möglichst Vieler an möglichst Vielem - sprich '(…) an der Erörterung, Aushandlung und Entscheidung möglichst vieler öffentlicher Angelegenheiten' (Koopmann 2008, S. 5). Dadurch sollen die Legitimität, Stabilität und Regierbarkeit des demokratischen Systems erhöht werden. Dieses Steuerungssystem ist als 'Good Governance' (ebd.) bekannt und
    Abstract: zeichnet sich neben Transparenz und Kooperation, wesentlich durch die Stärkung der Bürgerschaft im Sinne von Empowerment (siehe 1.3.3) aus. Dieser Ansatz ist mit dem idealtypischen BürgerInnenbild der 'citoyens' (Koopmann 2008, S. 5) verbunden: Der Bürgerschaft, die aktiv und eigenverantwortlich am Gemeinwesen teilnimmt und dieses mitgestaltet (vgl. ebd.). Nach dem 'Dreiklang' der Bürgerarbeit ist die Voraussetzung für die Beteiligung von BürgerInnen allerdings, dass sie es wollen, können und dürfen (vgl. Gernbauer 2008, S. 17). Damit Heranwachsende überhaupt die Chance bekommen diesem Ideal gerecht zu werden, müssen die notwendigen Rahmenbedingungen, in Form von personellen, finanziellen und zeitlichen Ressourcen für Partizipation seitens der Kommunen geschaffen werden (vgl. Koopmann 2008, S. 5). Dadurch könnte der Partizipation Jugendlicher an kommunalen Planungs- und Entscheidungsprozessen sogar ein präventiver Charakter zugesprochen werden: Durch ihre Beteiligung wird jungen Menschen die Möglichkeit gegeben ihre Meinungen, Interessen und Ängste zu formulieren. Folglich können die Bedürfnisse der jungen Generation besser abgebildet, in Bedarfe umformuliert und politische Planungs- und Entscheidungsprozesse optimiert werden. Diese effiziente Steuerung kann die Jugendhilfeplanung einer Kommune verbessern, trägt zur Kinder- und Jugendfreundlichkeit bei und steigert unter dem Strich die Attraktivität eines Standortes (vgl. Bertelsmann Stiftung 2008, S. 37 ff.).2.1.2, Pädagogische Argumente:Die Entwicklung von Selbstständigkeit gewinnt vor dem Hintergrund gesellschaftlicher Trends, wie der Individualisierung oder Pluralisierung von Lebensformen, immer mehr an Bedeutung. Um diese Fähigkeit zu erlernen, müssen junge Menschen Freiräume zugestanden bekommen, in denen sie sich ausprobieren und in unsere Gesellschaft einbringen können (vgl. Moser 2010, S.
    Abstract: 90). Eine Möglichkeit Freiräume zu gewähren ist die Beteiligung Jugendlicher an kommunalen Planungs- und Entscheidungsprozessen. Da Partizipation als ein zentraler Faktor in der Entwicklung von Selbst-, Sozial- und Methodenkompetenzen gesehen werden kann und somit zu gesellschaftlicher Anerkennung und der Steigerung des Selbstwertgefühls führt, kann sie als ein erfolgreiches Integrationsinstrument bezeichnet werden (vgl. Bertelsmann Stiftung 2008, S. 37). Gemäß dem Gedanken des Empowermentansatzes, die Autonomie und Selbstbestimmung junger Menschen zu fördern, ist die Beteiligung von Jugendlichen an kommunalen Planungs- und Entscheidungsprozessen obligatorisch. Damit junge Menschen mit ihrer Freiheit adäquat umgehen können, müssen sie jedoch dazu befähigt werden. Die 'Krux' dabei ist, dass die Erziehenden bei der Gewährung von Freiräumen stets vor dem - für pädagogische Prozesse klassischen - Dilemma stehen '(…) Kindern und Jugendlichen als ExpertInnen ihrer selbst partnerschaftlich zu begegnen und sie gleichzeitig vor Überforderungen zu schützen' (Moser 2010, S. 90). Partizipationsmodelle, die versuchen mit diesem Paradox umzugehen, fordern die Mündigkeit von Heranwachsenden heraus, indem sie ihnen Freiräume bieten, in denen sie selbstbestimmt handeln können. Wenn diese Voraussetzungen gegeben sind, verfolgt Partizipation nicht nur einen Selbstzweck, sondern dient auch dem Gemeinwesen: Denn wenn junge Menschen als ExpertInnen in eigener Sache ernst genommen werden, können sie Erwachsenen bei der Bewältigung gesellschaftlicher Herausforderungen und der Entwicklung innovativer Lösungsansätze im kommunalen Raum behilflich sein. Dadurch kann zum Dialog der Generationen angestiftet, Konflikte minimiert und das Gemeinwesen belebt werden (vgl. Bertelsmann Stiftung 2008, S. 37 ff.).2.1.3, Gegenargumente:In den vorangegangenen zwei Kapiteln wurde die
    Abstract: Partizipation von Jugendlichen im kommunalen Raum aus politischer und pädagogischer Perspektive begründet. Diese Argumentationsstränge können als Chancen kommunaler Beteiligungsprozesse junger Menschen gesehen werden. Doch die Forderung nach der Beteiligung junger Menschen in ihrem Wohnumfeld stößt in ihrer Umsetzung auch an ihre Grenzen. Zwei besonders relevante Gegenargumente werden an dieser Stelle kurz dargestellt, um verständlich zu machen, warum Partizipation ihrem Anspruch in der Praxis oftmals nicht gerecht wird:Als eine Grenze kommunaler Beteiligungsprozesse junger Menschen kann der Umstand bezeichnet werden, dass Heranwachsende in der Praxis oftmals nicht als Subjekte, sondern als Objekte, demokratischer Entscheidungen gesehen werden (vgl. Knauer/Sturzenhecker 2005, S. 64). Dieses Muster ist in gewisser Weise paternalistisch: Denn Beteiligungsmöglichkeiten, die BürgerInnen sanft stimmen sollen, anstatt sie zu emanzipieren, nennt Reimer Gronemeyer 'apathische Partizipation' (Gronemeyer 1973). Diese Art der Partizipation ist in der Praxis nach wie vor auf allen Ebenen - von der Europäischen Union bis zu Lokalpolitik - weit verbreitet. Apathische Partizipation verfolgt das Ziel Heranwachsende in gegebene Strukturen einzufügen. Dadurch wird die politische Praxis nicht hinsichtlich Zugangsbarrieren für junge Menschen hinterfragt, sondern lediglich in ein gutes Licht gerückt (vgl. Knauer/Sturzenhecker 2005, S. 65). In solchen Partizipationsmodellen kann folglich eher von Scheinpartizipation als von emanzipatorischer Partizipation gesprochen werden.Eine weitere Grenze der Partizipation junger Menschen im kommunalen Raum ist die Kritik am Steuerungssystem Good Governance. Diese Kritik geht davon aus, dass die Partizipation möglichst Vieler an möglichst Vielem zur Unregierbarkeit des Gemeinwesens führt. Demnach würde die Beteiligung junger

    Abstract: Gay neighborhoods, like the legendary Castro District in San Francisco and New York's Greenwich Village, have long provided sexual minorities with safe havens in an often unsafe world. But as our society increasingly accepts gays and lesbians into the mainstream, are "gayborhoods" destined to disappear? Amin Ghaziani provides an incisive look at the origins of these unique cultural enclaves, the reasons why they are changing today, and their prospects for the future. Drawing on a wealth of evidence--including census data, opinion polls, hundreds of newspaper reports from across the United States, and more than one hundred original interviews with residents in Chicago, one of the most paradigmatic cities in America--There Goes the Gayborhood? argues that political gains and societal acceptance are allowing gays and lesbians to imagine expansive possibilities for a life beyond the gayborhood. The dawn of a new post-gay era is altering the character and composition of existing enclaves across the country, but the spirit of integration can coexist alongside the celebration of differences in subtle and sometimes surprising ways. Exploring the intimate relationship between sexuality and the city, this cutting-edge book reveals how gayborhoods, like the cities that surround them, are organic and continually evolving places. Gayborhoods have nurtured sexual minorities throughout the twentieth century and, despite the unstoppable forces of flux, will remain resonant and revelatory features of urban life.

    Abstract: In the two decades before World War One, Great Britain witnessed the largest revival of anti-slavery protest since the legendary age of emancipation in the mid-nineteenth century. Rather than campaigning against the trans-Atlantic slave trade, these latter-day abolitionists focused on the so-called 'new slaveries' of European imperialism in Africa, condemning coercive systems of labor taxation and indentured servitude, as well as evidence of atrocities. A Civilized Savagery illuminates the multifaceted nature of British humanitarianism by juxtaposing campaigns against different forms of imperial labor exploitation in three separate areas: the Congo Free State, South Africa, and Portuguese West Africa. In doing so, Kevin Grant points out how this new type of humanitarianism influenced the transition from Empire to international government and the advent of universal human rights in subsequent decades.

    Abstract: Die jüngsten Beispiele von Gesetzesverstößen in der deutschen Wirtschaft und die entsprechende Ahndung durch staatliche Aufsichtsbehörden sowie durch die Berichterstattung der Medien zeigen, dass Gesetzestreue - Compliance - von hohem Stellenwert und aktueller Brisanz ist. Durch die Berichterstattung in den traditionellen wie auch in den Neuen Medien und die entsprechend schnellere Informationsverarbeitung erfährt die Öffentlichkeit zum einen zügiger und erhält zum anderen detaillierter Informationen über Gesetzesverstöße.Wertorientierte Unternehmensführung und -steuerung hingegen kristallisiert sich als immer bedeutender für große wie auch mittelständische Unternehmen heraus.Das vorliegende Buch behandelt vor dem Hintergrund der Corporate Compliance Problematik die Frage, welche mögliche Auswirkung sowohl die Nichtbeachtung von Recht und Gesetz als auch die Einhaltung von geltendem Recht auf den Wert eines Unternehmens hat. Daraus ergibt sich im Zusammenhang mit vorhergehenden Ausführungen die Fragestellung, ob Corporate Compliance als Teilelement wertorientierter Unternehmenssteuerung anzusehen ist. Auszug aus dem TextTextprobe:Kapitel 2.3.3.1, Organisatorische Eingliederung und Aufgaben eines Compliance Bereichs:Eine Compliance Struktur ist Bestandteil einer Compliance Organisation. Die Verantwortung für eine Compliance Struktur liegt bei der Unternehmensleitung. Je nach Größe und Komplexität des Unternehmens wird ableitend die organisatorische Struktur eines Compliance Bereichs bestimmt und entsprechende Zuständigkeiten delegiert.Ausgangspunkt für die Errichtung einer Compliance Struktur und erste Überlegungen diesbezüglich liegen in der Rechtsabteilung. Als Teil der Compliance Struktur gilt zudem, zumindest für große Unternehmen, eine interne Revision.Ein Compliance Officer (auch als Compliance Beauftragter oder Compliance Manager...
    Abstract: bezeichnet) wird - meist in Form einer Stabsfunktion unabhängig von der Rechtsabteilung - benannt als 'Informationssammelstelle' und stellt im Ergebnis den verlängerten Arm der Unternehmensleitung dar. Diese Funktion kann in größeren Unternehmen auch von einem Compliance Office wahrgenommen werden. Durch Einrichtung einer Stabsfunktion wird der Berichtsweg an die Geschäftsleitung klar definiert. Die Zusammenarbeit mit anderen unternehmensinternen Abteilungen, wie z. B. der Revision oder dem Controlling ist von Bedeutung im Zusammenhang mit dem Aufbau einer Compliance Struktur. Darüber hinaus kann ein sogenanntes Compliance Committee im Unternehmen gebildet werden, dessen Zusammensetzung variieren und aus dem Compliance Officer, Mitgliedern der Unternehmensleitung und beispielsweise Mitarbeitern der Rechtsabteilung, der operativen Unternehmensbereiche oder der Revision bestehen kann. Neben diesen Verortungsmöglichkeiten eines Compliance Bereichs besteht die Alternative der Einbindung externer Compliance Berater. Der Compliance Bereich kann - falls eine größere Organisation damit verbunden ist - zentral oder dezentral organisiert werden.Ein Compliance Bereich ist mit vielfältigen Aufgaben betraut. Zum einen sorgt eine solche Compliance Struktur dafür, dass die Unternehmensleitung bei der Durchsetzung und Überwachung der Corporate Compliance beraten und unterstützt wird. Hierbei gilt, eine Compliance Organisation zu implementieren, zu dokumentieren und weiterzuentwickeln. Außerdem unterstützt die Compliance Organisation die Geschäftsleitung bei der Information und Training aller Unternehmensangehörigen hinsichtlich Compliance. Zeitgerechte Ad- hoc- Berichterstattung an die Geschäftsführung über wesentliche Veränderungen der rechtlichen Situation im Unternehmen, Feststellung und Untersuchung von schwerwiegenden Verletzungen der Compliance und
    Abstract: entsprechende Aufklärung bilden weitere Komponenten des Aufgabenbereichs. Des Weiteren hat die Compliance Organisation die Aufgabe, die Einhaltung der Compliance Vorgaben zu überwachen und durchzusetzen. Ein Compliance Bereich steht auch intern als Kontaktpartner in Compliance Fragen zur Verfügung und stellt den ersten Ansprechpartner für externe Interessenten in Compliance relevanten Fragestellungen dar.Die Erfüllung der immer größer werdenden Anzahl von internen und externen Anforderungen an ein Unternehmen muss durch geeignete Maßnahmen sichergestellt werden. Das folgende Kapitel geht dabei auf eine Auswahl der wesentlichen Instrumente einer sogenannten Compliance Organisation ein, die von Unternehmen und dem entsprechenden Compliance Bereich eingesetzt werden können, um Corporate Compliance im Unternehmen zu etablieren. Biographische InformationenTina Mußtopf, MBA wurde 1987 in Schkeuditz geboren.

    Abstract: "That this Handbook calls for two large volumes and more than four dozen essays illustrates the dramatic pace of developing media theory in recent years. Such a reference work would have been impossible a decade or two ago when serious media theoretical research was just getting off the ground and we had far more questions than potential answers. Fortner and Fackler and their impressive array of contributors provide an invaluable intellectual anthology of what we now know, topics which are still only partially understood, and aspects where much remains to be done." Chris Sterling, George Washington University "Like Rodgers and Hammerstein or Lerner and Lowe, Robert Fortner and Mark Fackler are becoming the gourmet indispensable team who provide excellent inspiration for our field. Like Christians and Wilkins, they have set the bar with a handbook on international media ethics. Now they are raising that bar with The Handbook of Media and Mass Communication Theory, which assembles a who's who of leading theorists and media studies thinkers worldwide. Far more than an introduction to media theory, this double volume is the most current and comprehensive overview and analysis of the field. … MUST reading." Dr. Tom Cooper, Emerson College "A rich resource for all media-related disciplines. Impressive for its vision, both retrospective and future-oriented; and comprehensive in its range of perspectives, from the established to the innovatory." Denis McQuail, University of Amsterdam.

    Abstract: In July 2010, Terry Jones, the pastor of a small fundamentalist church in Florida, announced plans to burn two hundred Qur'ans on the anniversary of the September 11 attacks. Though he ended up canceling the stunt in the face of widespread public backlash, his threat sparked violent protests across the Muslim world that left at least twenty people dead. In Terrified, Christopher Bail demonstrates how the beliefs of fanatics like Jones are inspired by a rapidly expanding network of anti-Muslim organizations that exert profound influence on American understanding of Islam. Bail traces how the anti-Muslim narrative of the political fringe has captivated large segments of the American media, government, and general public, validating the views of extremists who argue that the United States is at war with Islam and marginalizing mainstream Muslim-Americans who are uniquely positioned to discredit such claims. Drawing on cultural sociology, social network theory, and social psychology, he shows how anti-Muslim organizations gained visibility in the public sphere, commandeered a sense of legitimacy, and redefined the contours of contemporary debate, shifting it ever outward toward the fringe. Bail illustrates his pioneering theoretical argument through a big-data analysis of more than one hundred organizations struggling to shape public discourse about Islam, tracing their impact on hundreds of thousands of newspaper articles, television transcripts, legislative debates, and social media messages produced since the September 11 attacks. The book also features in-depth interviews with the leaders of these organizations, providing a rare look at how anti-Muslim organizations entered the American mainstream.

    Abstract: Video gaming is economically, educationally, culturally, socially and theoretically important, and has, in a relatively short period of time, firmly cemented its place within contemporary life. It is fair to say, however, that the majority of research to date has focused most specifically on either the video games themselves, or the direct engagement of gamers with a specific piece of game technology. In contrast, Video Gamers is the first book to explicitly and comprehensively address how digital games are engaged with and experienced in the everyday lives, social networks and consumer patterns of those who play them. In doing so, the book provides a key introduction to the study of gamers and the games they play, whilst also reflecting on the current debates and literatures surrounding gaming practices.

    Abstract: Knowledge and Discourse presents an ecological approach to the study of discourse in social, academic and professional practices. It brings together distinguished scholars from diverse cultures - India, China, Australia, Canada among others - and disciplines - linguistics, anthropology, sociology, philosophy. The chapters collectively illustrate the ecological approach by exploring how language makes connections between subjective experiences as people construct meaning and action. This book offers the reader a holistic, interdisciplinary approach to the study of language as discourse, questioning traditional views of disciplinary knowledge and the role of discourse in the pursuit, construction and compartmentalisation of such knowledge. Through the variety of disciplines, experiences and approaches, the contributors show how the world and word are contingent on each other. The notions of connectivity, contingency and change are themes that run through the book, and in the interweaving of these themes readers will find persuasive illustrations of an ecological approach to applied linguistics.

    Keywords: Konversationsanalyse ; Missverständnis ; Aufsatzsammlung
    Abstract: Misunderstanding is a pervasive phenomenon in social life, sometimes with serious consequences for people's life chances. Misunderstandings are especially hazardous in high-stakes events such as job interviews or in the legal system. In unequal power encounters, unsuccessful communication is regularly attributed to the less powerful participant, especially when those participants are members of an ethnic minority group. But even when communicative events are not prestructured by participants' differential positions in social hierarchies, misunderstandings occur at different levels of interactional and social engagement. Misunderstanding in Social Life examines such problematic talk in ordinary conversation and different institutional settings, including socializing events and story tellings, education and assessment activities, and interviews in TV news broadcasts, employment agencies, legal settings, and language testing. The analyzed interactions are located in a variety of sociocultural environments and conducted in a range of languages, including English, French, German, Hebrew, Japanese, such language varieties as Aboriginal Australian English and Maori New Zealand English, and nonnative varieties. The original studies included in this volume adopt a variety of theoretical perspectives, including discourse-pragmatic approaches, conversation analysis, interactional sociolinguistics, social constructionism, tropological and narrative analysis. They represent multiple views of misunderstanding as a multilayered discourse event.

    Abstract: It has only been recognised tardily and with reluctance that during the Second World War hundreds of thousands of itinerants met the same horrendous fate as Jews and other victims of Nazism. Gypsies appear to appeal to the imagination simply as social outcasts and scapegoats or, in a flattering but no more illuminating light, as romantic outsiders. In this study, contemporary notions about Gypsies are traced back as far as possible to their roots, in an attempt to lay bare why stigmatisation of gypsies, or rather groups labelled as such, has continuned from the distant past even to today.

    Keywords: Basler Mission ; Geschichte 1828-1917 ; Ghana
    Abstract: This book is about the Basel Mission in the Gold Coast (now Ghana) before the First World War. Miller reconstructs the backgrounds and motivations of the mission's participants and describes the organizational structure that shaped their activities at home and abroad. He then traces some serious and recurrent internal problems to the commitment to difficult Pietist beliefs about authority and obedience. The organization survived those troubles and its impact on Ghana continued to grow, because the same biblical worldview that demanded extreme discipline also prepared the members of the mission community to sustain their efforts.

    Abstract: This book provides a range of interdisciplinary and international perspectives on difficulties in literacy development. The high-profile team of contributors provide ethical and policy discussions, as well as contextualising individual and collective strategies to addressing difficulties in literacy development. The chapters break new ground by encompassing a wide range of perspectives related to critical literacy, socio-cultural, cognitive, and psychological viewpoints, to help inform practice, policy and research into literacy difficulties. Issues addressed include: *the different ways literacy can be conceptualised through social-science based disciplinary perspectives *the issues at the centre of current public and professional debates surrounding literacy difficulties and how these have impacted upon pedagogical responses *the impact of these wider political and social issues on individual students. This reader forms the basis of the Open University's Difficulties in Literacy Development course, but will also be of interest to postgraduate students, teachers, researchers, education professionals and policymakers who are keen to address difficulties in literacy development.
