    Abstract: Das Bild schweigt still. Seine Visualität verweigert sich der Sprache, es ist nicht übersetzbar. Ungeachtet dessen werden Bilder in der Praxis immer wieder sprachlich erschlossen, verhandelt und tradiert: als Abbilder, epistemische Objekte - oder als Kunstwerke. Ausgehend von dieser theoretisch viel diskutierten Diskrepanz untersucht das Buch Audioguides in Kunstausstellungen erstmals aus soziologischer Perspektive: Richter über Kunst und Nicht-Kunst und Grenzgänger zwischen Wahrnehmung und Kommunikation, Subjekt und Objekt, visuellem und sprachlichem Wissen, lösen sie das Problem der Bildbeschreibung praktisch, brechen das Schweigen des Bildes und bringen es - als sozial und sinnhaft strukturiert - zum Sprechen. Biographical note: Kathrin Popp (Dipl.-Soz.) arbeitet als Lektorin mit den Schwerpunkten Soziologie sowie Medien-, Bild- und Kunstwissenschaften in Bielefeld.

    Abstract: A Systems Theory of Religion, still unfinished at Niklas Luhmann's death in 1998, was first published in German two years later thanks to the editorial work of André Kieserling. One of Luhmann's most important projects, it exemplifies his later work while redefining the subject matter of the sociology of religion. Religion, for Luhmann, is one of the many functionally differentiated social systems that make up modern society. All such subsystems consist entirely of communications and all are ""autopoietic, "" which is to say, self-organizing and self-generating. Here, Luhmann expla

    Abstract: Voices of Privilege and Sacrifice from Women Volunteers in India: I Can Change uses data collected from educated, urban, middle and upper-class women at the forefront of women's empowerment movements as volunteers and activists in NGOs in India, who consider themselves sometimes feminist and sometimes not. It sheds light on how these women in a fast-changing global economy negotiate their daily lives amid pressures of tradition, and if they are able to transition from a traditional patriarchal society to an egalitarian democratic civil society

    Abstract: What elements of American political and rhetorical culture block the imagining-and thus, the electing-of a woman as president? Examining both major-party and third-party campaigns by women, including the 2008 campaigns of Hillary Clinton and Sarah Palin, the authors of Woman President: Confronting Postfeminist Political Culture identify the factors that limit electoral possibilities for women. Pundits have been predicting women's political ascendancy for years. And yet, although the 2008 presidential campaign featured Hillary Clinton as an early frontrunner for the Democrati

The rapidly growing number of mixed-faith families has become a source of hope, encouraging openness and tolerance among religious communities that historically have been insular and suspicious of other faiths. Yet as Naomi Schaefer Riley demonstrates in 'Til Faith Do Us Part, what is good for society as a whole often proves difficult for individual families: interfaith couples, Riley shows, are less happy than others and certain combinations of religions are more likely to lead to divorce.

The name Master Dongguo has become a synonym for an addle-headed person who cannot tell good from evil.The Frog in the Well, Waiting for the Next Rabbit and Master Dongguo have been household stories for generations in China. They have nurtured among Chinese children love of life, respect for nature, understanding of oneself and care for other people.There are 10 stories in the Chinese-English edition of Illustrated Classic Chinese Tales - Fable Stories: An Impatient Youth, A Man from Zheng Goes to Buy Some Shoes, The Frog in the Well, Fish in a Drying Rut, Master Dongguo, The Snipe and the Clam, Waiting for the Next Rabbit, Attack Your Shield with Your Spear, The Great Musician Who Couldn't Play and Preferring the Case to the Pearl. The stories are great choices for parents to enjoy with their children, and will help young readers learn about the world and how the Chinese understand and solve common problems.The books feature original colour illustrations, and the English translations have been proofread by a native English speaker. The Chinese text at the end of the book also has pinyin for those who are learning the language. These books can help Chinese and foreign children to learn both English and Chinese, while gaining a deeper understanding of Chinese culture.About the book cover:Chinese Publisher: China Intercontinental Press.

    Abstract: What happens when people "achieve"? Why do reactions to "achievement" vary so profoundly? And how might an anthropological study of achievement and its consequences allow us to develop a more nuanced model of the motivated agency that operates in the social world? These questions lie at the heart of this volume. Drawing on research from Southeast Asia, Europe, the United States, and Latin America, this collection develops an innovative framework for explaining achievement's multiple effects-one which brings together cutting-edge theoretical insights into politics, psychology, ethics, material

    Abstract: Passing-an act usually associated with disguising race-also relates to disability. Whether a person classified as mentally ill struggles to suppress aberrant behavior to appear "normal" or a person falsely claims a disability to gain some advantage, passing is a pervasive and much discussed phenomenon. Nevertheless, Disability and Passing is the first anthology to examine this issue. The editors and contributors to this volume explore the intersections of disability, race, gender, and sexuality as these various aspects of identity influence each other and make identity fluid. They argue that the line between disability and normality is blurred, discussing disability as an individual identity and as a social category. And they discuss the role of stigma in decisions about whether or not to pass. Focusing on the United States from the nineteenth century to the present, the essays in Disability and Passing speak to the complexity of individual decisions about passing and open the conversation for broader discussion. Contributors include: Dea Boster, Allison Carey, Peta Cox, Kristen Harmon, David Linton, Michael Rembis, and the editors

    Parallel Title: Print version Canevacci, Massimo The Line of Dust : Bororo Culture Between Tradition, Mutation and Self-Representation
    DDC: 393.089984
    Keywords: Bororo mythology ; Bororo Indians--Funeral customs and rites ; Electronic books
    Abstract: In this volume Massimo Canevacci draws on ethnographic fieldworkcarried out together with Bororo of the Mato Grosso (Brazil), in particular Kleber Meritororeu, to examine the tensions, conflicts and exchanges between transformation and tradition. The practical as well as political keyword in his approach is self-representation. From this follows the incorporation of Bororo subjectivities into the text, and the focus on the emotional, philosophical and sacred aspects of their famous funeral ritual, in which their status as both performers and the interpreters is emphasized by their use of the digital camera. The book takes its name from the line of dust laid down by a mestre dos cantos (master of chants), José Carlos Kuguri, between the anthropologist and himself: both a representation of an immaterial boundary, and a syncretic challenge to understand the transfiguration from a dead individual corpse to a living ancestral skull, an arara. Canevacci's answer is an assemblage of different narratives, in which an 'astonished' methodology of sensorial concepts, emotional photos and innovative logics traverses the entire Bororo funeral. He finds there is no dualism to life and death for the Bororo, but rather a porous, continuous transit and mixing of body and corpse, of humans and animals, of plants and deities; and that their sacred cosmology is time and again created and recreated via their wailing songs and circular dances, skin scarifications and bone painting. Their rituals are no mere repetition of tradition. They are also an attempt to respond to the changes inside and outside their aldeia (village), and to reenact their shifting cultures, subjectivities and identities. Massimo Canevacci is Professor of Cultural Anthropology, Digital Arts and Culture at the University of Rome 'La Sapienza' and Visiting Professor at the Institute of Advanced

    Abstract: Gesellschaftliche Differenzverhältnisse wie Geschlechter- oder natio-ethno-kulturelle Zugehörigkeitsordnungen sind Strukturmerkmale gesellschaftlicher Wirklichkeit. Sie prägen Biographien, Interaktionssituationen und Institutionen - auch die Universität. Insofern Differenzverhältnisse den universitären Ort, an dem dieser Gegenstandsbereich zum Thema wird, strukturieren, ist das universitäre Sprechen über Differenz zugleich von dem Gegenstand, um den es geht, vermittelt. In diesem Buch finden sich Analysen einer protokollierten Episode aus einem universitären Seminar, das sich mit migrationsgesellschaftlichen Unterscheidungspraxen beschäftigt. Aus vier Perspektiven - Geltungsanspruch universitären Wissens, Irritationen in der Lehre, Erfahrungsbezug als Legitimationspraxis und Universität als Ort von Erkenntnistransformation - wird die Episode untersucht und so kommentiert, dass allgemeine Strukturmerkmale universitärer Lehre zu Differenz unter Bedingungen von Differenz sichtbar werden.​.

    Keywords: Cosmopolitanism.. ; Globalization ; Electronic books
    Abstract: It is commonly agreed that we live in an age of globalization, but the profound consequences of this development are rarely understood. Usually, globalization is equated with the expansion of economic and financial markets and the proliferation of global networks of communication. In truth, much more is at stake: Traditional concepts of individual and national identity as well as perceived relationships between the self and others are undergoing profound change. Every town has become a potential cosmopolis -- an international city -- affecting the way that people conceptualize the relationship between public order and political practice. In Being in the World, noted political theorist Fred Dallmayr explores the globe's transition from the traditional Westphalian system of states to today's interlocking cosmopolitan network. Drawing upon sacred scriptures as well as the work of ancient philosophers such as Plato and Aristotle and more recent scholars such as Martin Heidegger, Hans-Georg Gadamer, and Raimon Panikkar, this book delves into what Dallmayr calls "being in the world," seen as an aspect of ethical-political engagement. Rather than lamenting current problems, he suggests addressing them through civic education and cosmopolitan citizenship. Dallmayr advocates a politics of the common good, which requires the cultivation of public ethics, open dialogue, and civic responsibility.

    Abstract: Concern about food risks is widespread. Consumers, however, are found to differ in terms of how they evaluate these risks. One of the most prominent findings in this regard is the differences between women and men. Many studies report that men are less worried about environmental and technological risks than women, which is also the case for food risks. At the same time it is criticized that these differences are often exaggerated, similarities overlooked, and systematic investigations are lacking. Andrea Bieberstein gives a comprehensive overview of theoretical approaches to risk perception and empirical work that has been conducted in the field of risk perception research. Furthermore, she provides a systematic investigation of how food risks are constructed for women and men by uncovering the meanings in terms of associations, feelings, and values that they attach to various food risks. This allows a deeper understanding of the gender differences in risk perception in terms of their relevance and meaning.

    Abstract: Family Conflict takes a life course approach as it provides an accessible discussion of family conflict issues, processes, and outcomes. Chapters draw on recent theory and research regarding sub-systems and stages in family life to give readers resource-rich overviews of conflict in contemporary families. After the initial chapter presents the landscape of family conflict theory and research, chapters focus on conflict in couple relationships, parent-child relationships, sibling relationships, and in stepfamilies. The book concludes with a discussion of how specific work, health, and disability challenges facing today's families influence, and are influenced by, conflict interactions. Family Conflict will be essential reading for students of family communication, family researchers, professionals who work with families in various stages of life, and anyone who desires a deeper understanding of their own family conflict processes.

    Abstract: Gay marriage is at the forefront of America's political battlesThe human story at the center of this debate is told in Double Life, a dual memoir by a gay male couple in a fifty-plus year relationship. With high profiles in the entertainment, advertising, and art communities, the authors offer a virtual timeline of how gay relationships have gained acceptance in the last half-century. At the same time, they share inside stories from film, television, and media featuring the likes of Marlon Brando, Katharine Hepburn, Rock Hudson, Barbra Streisand, Laurence Olivier, Truman Capote, Bette Davis, Robert Redford, Lee Radziwill, and Frances Lear.Double Life is a trip through the entertainment world and a gay partnership in the latter half of the twentieth century. As more and more same sex couples find it possible to say "I do," the book serves as an important document of how far we've come.

    Abstract: Population growth hastens the depletion of natural resources, degrades the environment, increases poverty and conflict, and debases the human spirit. This book offers an antidote. It prescribes a simple and practical credit-based system that can gradually reduce the size of any population to an optimal level without imposing a ceiling on the number of children a couple can produce, or a cap on the number of immigrants that may legally enter the country. And it does this without requiring anyone to violate the moral precepts of any of the world's major faiths regarding birth control and abortion. The plan also offers a fair and compassionate solution to the problem of resident illegal aliens-one that would win broad public support. After presenting the plan, the author explores the demographic, social, environmental, and economic changes that would likely accompany population reduction, and proposes innovative solutions for some of our most pressing problems, including poverty.

    Abstract: From Josephine Baker's performances in the 1920s to the 1970s solidarity campaigns for Angela Davis, from Audre Lorde as »mother« of the Afro-German movement in the 1980s to the literary stardom of 1993 Nobel Laureate Toni Morrison, Germans have actively engaged with African American women's art and activism throughout the 20th century. The discursive strategies that have shaped the (West) German reactions to African American women's social activism and cultural work are examined in this study, which proposes not only a nuanced understanding of »African Americanizations« as a form of cultural exchange but also sheds new light on the role of African American culture for (West) German society, culture, and national identity.

    Abstract: Today, the risks associated with global environmental change and the dangers of extreme climatic and geological events remind us of humanityâs dependence on favourable environmental conditions. Our relationships with the landscapes and ecologies that we are a part of, the plants and animals that we share them with, and the natural resources that we extract, lie at the heart of contemporary social and political debates. It is no longer possible to understand key social scientific concerns without at the same time also understanding contemporary patterns of ecosystem change. The Routledge International Handbook of Social and Environmental Change reviews the major ways in which social scientists are conceptualizing more integrated perspectives on society and nature, from the global to local levels. The chapters in this volume, by international experts from a variety of disciplines, explore the challenges, contradictions and consequences of socialâecological change, along with the uncertainties and governance dilemmas they create. The contributions are based around the themes of: Climate change, energy, and adaptation Urban environmental change and governance Risk, uncertainty and social learning (Re)assembling social-ecological systems With case studies from sectors across both developed and developing worlds, the Handbook illustrates the inter-connectedness of ecosystem health, natural resource condition, livelihood security, social justice and development. It will be of interest for students and scholars across the social sciences and natural sciences, as well as to those interested and engaged in environmental policy at all levels.

    Keywords: Middle class - China - History ; Electronic books
    Abstract: The formation and characteristics of a nation's middle class are shaped by historical context and the developmental path that has been followed. However, can the same be said of the ethnic Chinese middle classes in Taiwan, China, Hong Kong, and Macao? Given the divergent political and economic experiences under which the respective middle classes were created, established, shaped, and reshaped, can they still be characterized as a homogenous group of 'Chinese middle classes', or are they more unique within each country? Using systematic survey data analysis and case studies to examine and compare the emerging middle classes in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macao and Urban China, this book explores whether the middle classes in these countries possess any uniquely 'Chinese' features, or if these are shared attributes that can be found in other non-Chinese middle classes in the Asia-Pacific region. It analyses the formation, profile, culture, lifestyles, mobility, and politics of the middle class groups in each country, and highlights the differences and similarities that emerge, and focuses in particular on increased mobility, financial resilience, class anxiety, and political interest and effectiveness. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars interested in Asian middle classes, Chinese studies, Chinese societies, Chinese ethnicity and Chinese politics.

    Abstract: Harry McChesney is seven when he first learns of Buddy, his only brother who'd died young and left his family in misery. After a fitful start on his own life, Harry decides that the only way to get things right for himself and his family is to become The Replacement Son. Author W.S. Culpepper frames Harry's psychological drama within an epic adventure story. Harry struggles to define himself, rescue his family from the emotional aftermath of his brother's death, and undertake a lifetime of labors as the next head of the McChesney clan. The novel tracks reluctant pilgrim Harry on his existential quest through Depression-Era New Orleans, WWII, and the city's devastation following Hurricane Katrina. The Replacement Son brings a charming but most unlikely hero and an exotic range of supporting characters to life in a compelling story of sacrifice and discovery..

    Abstract: In the twenty-first century, promotion is everywhere and everything has become promotable: everyday goods and organizations, people and ideas, cultures and futures. This engaging book looks at the rise of advertising, public relations, branding, marketing and lobbying, and explores where our promotional times have taken us. Promotional Cultures documents how the professions and practices of promotion have interacted with and reshaped so much in our world, from commodities, celebrities and popular culture to politics, markets and civil society. It offers a mix of historical accounts, social theory and documented case studies, including haute couture fashion, Apple Inc., Hollywood film, Jennifer Lopez, the Occupy movement, Barack Obama's election campaigns, news production and the 2008 financial crisis. Together, these show how promotional culture may be recorded, understood and interpreted. Promotional Cultures will appeal to students and scholars of media and culture, sociology, politics, anthropology, social and industrial history.

    Abstract: Devil in the Grove, winner of the Pulitzer Prize for general nonfiction, is a gripping true story of racism, murder, rape, and the law. It brings to light one of the most dramatic court cases in American history, and offers a rare and revealing portrait of Thurgood Marshall that the world has never seen before. As Isabel Wilkerson's The Warmth of Other Suns did for the story of America's black migration, Gilbert King's Devil in the Grove does for this great untold story of American legal history, a dangerous and uncertain case from the days immediately before Brown v. Board of Education in which the young civil rights attorney Marshall risked his life to defend a boy slated for the electric chair-saving him, against all odds, from being sentenced to death for a crime he did not commit.
