    Family Experiments (2023)
    ANU Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: Family Experiments explores the forms and undertakings of ‘family’ that prevailed among British professionals who migrated to Australia and New Zealand in the late nineteenth century. Their attempts to establish and define ‘family’ in Australasian, suburban environments reveal how the Victorian theory of ‘separate spheres’ could take a variety of forms in the new world setting. The attitudes and assumptions that shaped these family experiments may be placed on a continuum that extends from John Ruskin’s concept of evangelical motherhood to John Stuart Mill’s rational secularism. Central to their thinking was a belief in the power of education to produce civilised and humane individuals who, as useful citizens, would individually and in concert nurture a better society. Such ideas pushed them to the forefront of colonial liberalism. The pursuit of higher education for their daughters merged with and, in some respects, influenced first-wave colonial feminism. They became the first generation of colonial, middle-class parents to grapple not only with the problem of shaping careers for their sons but also, and more frustratingly, what graduate daughters might do next.

    Der unsichtbare Wohnraum (2023)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-08-08
    Description: Viele Menschen suchen Wohnraum, doch Neubau löst das Problem nicht: Er ist teuer, verbraucht Fläche und belastet das Klima. Eine Lösung verspricht der »unsichtbare Wohnraum« - ungenutzte Zimmer älterer Personen nach Auszug der Kinder. Daniel Fuhrhop untersucht das Potenzial der Wohnsuffizienz anhand sozialer Programme wie der Vermittlung von Wohnpaaren nach dem Modell »Wohnen für Hilfe«, dem Umbau von Wohnungen, dem Umzug sowie sozialer Wohnraumvermittlung. Sein Fazit: Insgesamt können so jährlich 100.000 Wohnungen entstehen - ohne Klimabelastung und mit der Chance auf Nähe und Nachbarschaft.

    Challenges and Potential of a Collaborative Approach to Education Reform (2023)
    RAND Corporation
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-10-05
    Description: The Ford Foundation developed the Collaborating for Education Reform Initiative, providing grants to collaboratives in urban settings to improve the quality of teaching. Eight sites signed on, and the RAND Corporation assessed their progress. The authors found that, while none had met final goals, the collaboratives had varying degrees of success and some offered promise. By adopting such techniques as clear communication of expectations and involvement of school staff, collaboratives stand a better chance of success.

    Pensamiento social ruso sobre América Latina (2023)
    CLACSO
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-28
    Description: El objetivo principal de esta antología no es, desde luego, hacer el recuento integral de todo lo que se pensó y dijo en “Rusia" acerca de América Latina. Antes bien, de lo que se trata es de ofrecer elementos que puedan ayudar al lector a emprender rastreos más sistemáticos de las transformaciones en la percepción “rusa" acerca de América Latina a la luz de los cambios políticos en “Rusia", con un triple acento colocado en la latinoamericanística académica, en la dimensión histórica y en la geopolítica de las identidades. El entrecomillado utilizado para la palabra “Rusia" obedece a que, de modo similar a lo que ocurre con otras regiones, el uso de un topónimo específico implica ocluir los complejos procesos que van dando lugar a la conformación de una entidad histórico-cultural. “Rusia" en esta antología denota, en efecto, lo que fuera el Imperio Ruso antes de 1917, la Unión Soviética entre 1922 y 1991, y la Federación Rusa a partir de 1991.

    New Perspectives on Investment in Infrastructures (2023)
    Amsterdam University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-29
    Description: Over the last two decades most infrastructures were subject to significant regime change. Once a state monopoly, infrastructures have now been liberalised or even fully privatised, thereby introducing new actors and new levels of decision making. Regime change has led to an increased emphasis on service delivery, lower prices and enhanced consumer choice, together with a greater concern for efficiency. What are the effects of regime change and the resultant short-term focus for the long-term investment in physical infrastructures? The essays in this bundle analyse the effects on long-term investment in different infrastructures and from different perspectives and disciplines. These findings form the basis for the accompanying WRR Report entitled "http://www.aup.nl/do.php?a=show_visitor_book&isbn=9789053566053"〉Infrastructures: Time to invest, in which strategic policy orientations are developed that serve short-term values such as efficiency and service provision, as well as long-term values such as security of supply, innovation and sustainability. This title is available in the OAPEN Library - http://www.oapen.org.

    Muslim Societies in Postnormal Times (2023)
    International Institute of Islamic Thought
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-09
    Description: Where will Muslim societies be tomorrow? The world is increasingly and constantly changing, making it hard to keep up. This makes the state much more dire and troublesome for those already marginalised – particularly Muslim societies. Normal is no longer capable of upholding the promise of tomorrow’s certainty. These are postnormal times. In this storm of ignorance and uncertainty, Muslim societies stand to lose the most. But this is not destiny. In the cultivation of a new type of literacy – futures literacy – there resides a hope. Muslim Societies in Postnormal Times offers an alternative where we can ‘rescue’ and decolonise our futures. Sardar, Serra, and Jordan take an open and plural approach to the future revealing the true potentials that lie before us. Through detailed analysis of contemporary trends, the road to destruction is revealed. Through identifying and exploring emerging issues, agency through options can allow for positive change. And in the extrapolation of these ideas into scenarios, the authors pave the way for us to navigate our own preferred futures. Their study challenges the reader to think about the future in a new way, redefining the monolithic future as three tomorrows (Extended Present, Familiar Futures, and Unthought Futures), along the way ever watchful for Black Swans, Black Elephants, and the illustrious Black Jellyfish that could disrupt the path ahead. The authors pull no punches in critically evaluating the possibilities and nightmares that could potentially befall Muslim societies. Through a display of creativity and imagination, this book looks beyond the conventional to illuminate impacts in the context of the complex, interconnected world we find ourselves in. This informative and enlightening text will push readers to see beyond popular, yet native notions of present and future. In the exposition of the reader’s ignorance and uncertainty, they will begin to look for the unthought and take agency in recolonising and navigating their preferred tomorrow.

    Ecomuseums and Climate Change (2023)
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-04-18
    Description: Climate change is a reality, and communities around the world are now facing significant environmental problems – rising global temperatures leading to increased risk of flooding, fire, and sea level rise, resulting in the destruction of property and social infrastructure, loss of biodiversity and tangible and intangible cultural heritage, and damage to economies. Little wonder then that the online conference held on 30 September 2021 with the title “Ecomuseums and Climate Action” attracted more than one hundred participants from countries whose communities are facing these problems. This book presents the results of this conference where heritage experts, community activists, curators, politicians and academics from several countries, explored how ecomuseums and community museums are acting as catalysts for transition, renewal, and sustainable development and how they might effectively contribute to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals and climate action. How can these organisations best contribute to the debate about the climate crisis and promote local action? Central to those actions are encouraging local people to recognise how important their cultural, natural and intangible cultural heritage is in making places special and giving a sense of belonging, why that heritage should be sustained, and how heritage assets can be used to promote climate action. This book – with its remarkable collection of essays from around the world – demonstrates how small local actions, considered together, can have a dramatic and far-reaching impact. It will be warmly welcomed by anyone interested in climate action, heritage and museum studies, and environmental issues. They sustain the global economy, set cultural trends, produce greenhouse gas emissions and consume energy; they attract migration flows and foster new political waves. While cities were supposed to be declining back in the 1980s, the globalised economy has established them as crucial world hubs leading billions of people on every continent, both at the top and the bottom of the social ladder, to move to cities. Today, global cities cry out for a more prominent role. But why and to what extent do they matter? Can they really stand alone in the global arena? How are they interacting with governments and multilateral organisations? From climate change to connectivity, from inequalities to migration: what is their contribution to key global challenges?

    Description: Este libro es una contribución a la reflexión y al debate sobre los grandes retos que entraña el tema migratorio como problema teórico y fenómeno social de nuestro tiempo. La pregunta subyacente en el texto es ¿cómo reparar un sistema migratorio roto por la implosión del proceso globalizador, destructor de los medios de vida de millones de seres humanos? Frente a esta crisis migratoria los gobiernos responden con medidas de contención en las que se incluyen "muros" que profundizan las dificultades para el tránsito y muestran el rostro de una "crisis humanitaria" que interpela a los derechos humanos.Fruto de un esfuerzo colaborativo, este volumen fue pensado en una reunión que convocó El Colegio de la Frontera Norte, en Tijuana, cuando recién se estrenaba en México el gobierno de la Cuarta Transformación, para reflexionar en torno al "nuevo paradigma" de la política migratoria de este país. Las amenazas del gobierno de Donald Trump a México.

    Multiperspektivität und dramatische Wirkung in der sophokleischen Tragödie (2023)
    Gunter Narr Verlag | Gunter Narr Verlag
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-07
    Description: Multiperspektivität ist, was das Drama von anderen Literaturgattungen unterscheidet. Dieses zentrale Merkmal hat in der Erforschung des antiken Dramas aber bis jetzt nicht die Aufmerksamkeit erhalten, die es verdient. Dies ändert die vorliegende Studie. Sie entwickelt für den altgriechischen Tragiker Sophokles ein kommunikatives Gesamtmodell und zeigt auf, wie dieser die Darstellung der Kommunikation zwischen den Figuren mit ihren jeweiligen Perspektiven systematisch als Ressource für die Kommunikation mit seinen Rezipienten nutzte. Auf diese Weise gewinnt sie durch sorgfältige Analysen und in intensiver Auseinandersetzung mit existierenden Deutungsansätzen neue Erkenntnisse für das Verständnis dreier bis heute zurecht berühmter, vielfältig rezipierter und in ihrer Deutung umstrittener Tragödien, nämlich des Aias, der Antigone und der Elektra.

    En torno a las ideas de Manuel Castells (2023)

    Publication Date: 2024-03-29
    Description: Castells y la era de la información puede pensarse como un sintagma naturalizado en el horizonte de las ciencias sociales. La pregunta que se impone, al final de la segunda década del siglo XXI se refiere a la vigencia de Castells en la era de la información. Sus ideas, de gran pregnancia teórica y metodológica, podrían haberse cristalizado y perdido la potencia con la que alumbraron las últimas décadas del siglo anterior. Sin embargo, Castells y sus ideas, puede decirse, han mantenido vigencia gracias a una enorme capacidad de trabajo, su destreza para dirigir grupos de investigadores y su sensibilidad para ocuparse de las cuestiones sociales de la contemporaneidad. Se puede estar de acuerdo con él o no, pero es innegable que varias de sus categorías han permitido y permiten comprender una parte considerable de los fenómenos centrales que hacen de bisagra entre siglos.

    Description: EPDF and EPUB available Open Access under CC-BY-NC-ND licence. Freedom of religion and belief is crucial to any sustainable development process, yet the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) pay little attention to religious inequalities. This book offers a comprehensive overview of how efforts to achieve SDGs can be enhanced by paying greater attention to freedom of religion and belief. In particular, it illustrates how poverty is often a direct result of religious prejudice and how religious identity can shape a person’s job prospects, their children’s education and the quality of public services they receive. Drawing on evidence from Asia, the Middle East and sub-Saharan Africa, the book foregrounds the lived experiences of marginalized communities as well as researchers and non-state actors.EPDF and EPUB available Open Access under CC-BY-NC-ND licence.

    Policy Making and Implementation (2023)
    ANU Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-29
    Description: There is a vast literature on the principles of public administration and good governance, and no shortage of theoreticians, practitioners and donors eager to push for public sector reform, especially in less-developed countries. Papua New Guinea has had its share of public sector reforms, frequently under the influence of multinational agencies and aid donors. Yet there seems to be a general consensus, both within and outside Papua New Guinea, that policy making and implementation have fallen short of expectations, that there has been a failure to achieve 'good governance'. This volume, which brings together a number of Papua New Guinean and Australian-based scholars and practitioners with deep familiarity of policy making in Papua New Guinea, examines the record of policy making and implementation in Papua New Guinea since independence. It reviews the history of public sector reform in Papua New Guinea, and provides case studies of policy making and implementation in a number of areas, including the economy, agriculture, mineral development, health, education, lands, environment, forestry, decentralization, law and order, defence, women and foreign affairs, privatization, and AIDS. Policy is continuously evolving, but this study documents the processes of policy making and implementation over a number of years, with the hope that a better understanding of past successes and failures will contribute to improved governance in the future.

    Description: Whereas most studies of migration focus on movement, this book examines the experience of staying put. It looks at young men living in a Soninke-speaking village in Gambia who, although eager to travel abroad for money and experience, settle as farmers, heads of families, businessmen, civic activists, or, alternatively, as unemployed, demoted youth. Those who stay do so not only because of financial and legal limitations, but also because of pressures to maintain family and social bases in the Gambia valley. ‘Stayers’ thus enable migrants to migrate, while ensuring the activities and values attached to rural life are passed on to the future generations.

    American Multiculturalism after 9/11 (2023)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-28
    Description: This groundbreaking volume explores the multicultural debate that has evolved in the United States and Europe since the cataclysmic events of 9/11. Instead of suggesting closure by presenting a unified narrative about cultural diversity, national identity, and social stratification, the essays in this well-balanced collection present a variety of perspectives, each highlighting the undiminished relevance of key issues such as immigration, assimilation, and citizenship, while also pointing to unresolved conflicts over universalism, religion, and tolerance. Most importantly, this volume shows that the struggle over multiculturalism is not limited to the political domain, but also has profound cultural implications. American Multiculturalism after 9/11: Transatlantic Perspectives is an invaluable, thought-provoking addition to the debate about multiculturalism as central to the study of the United States in a global context.

    Sexual Assault in Canada (2023)
    University of Ottawa Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-10-05
    Description: Sexual Assault in Canada is the first English-language book in almost two decades to assess the state of sexual assault law and legal practice in Canada. Gathering together feminist scholars, lawyers, activists and policy-makers, it presents a picture of the difficult issues that Canadian women face when reporting and prosecuting sexual violence. The volume addresses many themes including the systematic undermining of women who have been sexually assaulted, the experiences of marginalized women, and the role of women's activism. It explores sexual assault in various contexts, including professional sports, the doctor-patient relationship, and residential schools. And it highlights the influence of certain players in the reporting and litigation of sexual violence, including health care providers, social workers, police, lawyers and judges. Sexual Assault in Canada provides both a multi-faceted assessment of the progress of feminist reforms to Canadian sexual assault law and practice, and articulates a myriad of new ideas, proposed changes to law, and inspired activist strategies. This book was created to celebrate the tenth anniversary of Jane Doe's remarkable legal victory against the Toronto police for sex discrimination in the policing of rape and for negligence in failing to warn her of a serial rapist. The case made legal history and motivated a new generation of feminist activists. This book honours her pioneering work by reflecting on how law, legal practice and activism have evolved over the past decade and where feminist research and reform should lead in the years to come.

    Diaspora and Transnationalism (2023)
    Amsterdam University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-29
    Description: Diaspora and transnationalism are widely used concepts in academic as well as political discourses. Although originally referring to quite different phenomena, they increasingly overlap today. Such inflation of meanings goes hand in hand with a danger of essentialising collective identities. This book therefore analyses diaspora and transnationalism as research perspectives rather than as characteristics of particular social groups. The contributions focus on conceptual uses, theoretical challenges and methodological innovations in the study of social ties that transcend nation and state boundaries. This volume brings together authors from a wide range of fields and approaches in the social sciences, as studying border-crossing affiliations also requires a crossing of disciplinary boundaries.

    My Life as a Night Elf Priest (2023)
    University of Michigan Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-10-05
    Description: "Ever since the creators of the animated television show South Park turned their lovingly sardonic gaze on the massively multiplayer online game World of Warcraft for an entire episode, WoW's status as an icon of digital culture has been secure. My Life as a Night Elf Priest digs deep beneath the surface of that icon to explore the rich particulars of the World of Warcraft player's experience." -Julian Dibbell, Wired "World of Warcraft is the best representative of a significant new technology, art form, and sector of society: the theme-oriented virtual world. Bonnie Nardi's pioneering transnational ethnography explores this game both sensitively and systematically using the methods of cultural anthropology and aesthetics with intensive personal experience as a guild member, media teacher, and magical quest Elf." -William Sims Bainbridge, author of The Warcraft Civilization and editor of Online Worlds "Nardi skillfully covers all of the hot button issues that come to mind when people think of video games like World of Warcraft such as game addiction, sexism, and violence. What gives this book its value are its unexpected gems of rare and beautifully detailed research on less sensationalized topics of interest such as the World of Warcraft player community in China, game modding, the increasingly blurred line between play and work, and the rich and fascinating lives of players and player cultures. Nardi brings World of Warcraft down to earth for non-players and ties it to social and cultural theory for scholars. . . . the best ethnography of a single virtual world produced so far." -Lisa Nakamura, University of Illinois World of Warcraft rapidly became one of the most popular online world games on the planet, amassing 11.5 million subscribers-officially making it an online community of gamers that had more inhabitants than the state of Ohio and was almost twice as populous as Scotland. It's a massively multiplayer online game, or MMO in gamer jargon, where each person controls a single character inside a virtual world, interacting with other people's characters and computer-controlled monsters, quest-givers, and merchants. In My Life as a Night Elf Priest, Bonnie Nardi, a well-known ethnographer who has published extensively on how theories of what we do intersect with how we adopt and use technology, compiles more than three years of participatory research in Warcraft play and culture in the United States and China into this field study of player behavior and activity. She introduces us to her research strategy and the history, structure, and culture of Warcraft; argues for applying activity theory and theories of aesthetic experience to the study of gaming and play; and educates us on issues of gender, culture, and addiction as part of the play experience. Nardi paints a compelling portrait of what drives online gamers both in this country and in China, where she spent a month studying players in Internet cafes. Bonnie Nardi has given us a fresh look not only at World of Warcraft but at the field of game studies as a whole. One of the first in-depth studies of a game that has become an icon of digital culture, My Life as a Night Elf Priest will capture the interest of both the gamer and the ethnographer. Bonnie A. Nardi is an anthropologist by training and a professor in the Department of Informatics in the Donald Bren School of Information and Computer Sciences at the University of California, Irvine. Her research focus is the social implications of digital technologies. She is the author of A Small Matter of Programming: Perspectives on End User Computing and the coauthor of Information Ecologies: Using Technology with Heart and Acting with Technology: Activity Theory and Interaction Design.

Governments want to keep them under control in order to limit their numbers. Yet, traditionally there were strong differences between European states in the extent to which they sought to do so and the instruments employed to that end. Currently, the contours become visible of a common approach towards - notably irregular - migration. This becomes clear from the country studies comprising this volume. This title is available in the OAPEN Library - http://www.oapen.org.

    New Governance for Rural America (2023)
    University Press of Kansas
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-10-05
    Description: Throughout the 1990s public demand for a fundamental shift in the relationship between government and its citizens has intensified. In response, a "new governance" model has emerged, emphasizing decreased federal control in favor of intergovernmental collaboration and increased involvement of state, local, and private agencies. As the authors of this volume show, one of the best examples of "new governance" can be found in the National and State Rural Development Councils (NRDC and SRDC), created in 1990 as the result of President Bush's Rural Development Initiative and now called the Rural Development Partnership. This effort was part of a move within policymaking circles to redefine a rural America that was no longer synonymous with family farming and that required innovative new solutions for economic revival. By 1994 twenty-nine states had created and ten other states were in the process of forming such councils. In this first detailed analysis of the NRDC and SRDCs, the authors examine the successes and failures of the original eight councils in Kansas, Maine, Mississippi, Oregon, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, and Washington; as well as eight other councils subsequently created in Iowa, New Mexico, North Carolina, Vermont, New York, North Dakota, Utah, and Wyoming. Combining empirical analysis with current theories about networks and inter-organizational relations, this volume should appeal to academics and practitioners interested in rural development policy, public administration, public policy and management, and intergovernmental relations. Open access edition funded by the National Endowment for Humanities and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Humanities Open Book Program.

    The Effects of Race (2023)
    African Sun Media | Sun Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-29
    Description: The STIAS research theme on Being Human Today explores the interrelated questions: What does it mean to be human? And: What is the nature of the world in which we aspire to be human? In the context of post-apartheid South Africa race and racism remain key references in both these questions. Why is this so, considering that the biological basis of race thinking has been refuted? Templates of race and racialism remain at the core of state policy in South Africa, periodic gross incidents of racism surface in public, and notions of the existence of races remain central to everyday thinking and discourse. This book is the result of the work of a group of leading thinkers and their in-depth conversations at STIAS during the winter of 2015 on the effects of race. Convened by evolutionary anthropologist Nina Jablonski and sociologist Gerhard Mar, the group included Njabulo Ndebele, Chabani Manganyi, Barney Pityana, Crain Soudien, Göran Therborn, Mikael Hjerm, Zimitri Erasmus and George Chaplin. The group reconvened annually through 2017. This is the first in a series of planned publications on the their work.

    Description: The familiar shape of western cities is changing dramatically. For long times the urban core was taken for granted as the focal point for international contacts and day-to-day activities in the region. Currently, the urban scope is transforming into multi centred forms at metropolitan scale. The transition is not just a matter of spatial form, it is reflecting social, economic and cultural processes. The question is what new identities may develop in such changing historical conditions of space and place.The book is a first attempt to analyse the process of urban transformation in an integral way. The focus is on the region of Amsterdam. All contributions are written by senior researchers of the Amsterdam studycentre for the Metropolitan Environment (AME). AME is the interdisciplinary urban research institute of the Universiteit van Amsterdam.As the urban research institute at the Universiteit van Amsterdam, the Amsterdam studycentre for the Metropolitan Environment (AME) analyses the economic, social and cultural aspects of this spatial transformation, usually in international comparative research. All contributions to this book are written by senior researchers of AME in an attempt to analyse in an integral way the present and future dilemmas out of the historical growth paths of this dynamic city.

    Eco Soma (2023)
    University of Minnesota Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-28
    Description: Modeling a disability culture perspective on performance practice toward socially just futures In Eco Soma, Petra Kuppers asks readers to be alert to their own embodied responses to art practice and to pay attention to themselves as active participants in a shared sociocultural world. Reading contemporary performance encounters and artful engagements, this book models a disability culture sensitivity to living in a shared world, oriented toward more socially just futures. Eco soma methods mix and merge realities on the edges of lived experience and site-specific performance. Kuppers invites us to become moths, sprout gills, listen to our heart's drum, and take starships into crip time. And fantasy is central to these engagements: feeling/sensing monsters, catastrophes, golden lines, heartbeats, injured sharks, dotted salamanders, kissing mammoths, and more. Kuppers illuminates ecopoetic disability culture perspectives, contending that disabled people and their co-conspirators make art to live in a changing world, in contact with feminist, queer, trans, racialized, and Indigenous art projects. By offering new ways to think, frame, and feel "environments," Kuppers focuses on art-based methods of envisioning change and argues that disability can offer imaginative ways toward living well and with agency in change, unrest, and challenge. Traditional somatics teach us how to fine-tune our introspective senses and to open up the world of our own bodies, while eco soma methods extend that attention toward the creative possibilities of the reach between self, others, and the land. Eco Soma proposes an art/life method of sensory tuning to the inside and the outside simultaneously, a method that allows for a wider opening toward ethical cohabitation with human and more-than-human others.

    Description: A fundamental issue in society today, migration has been undergoing a new dynamic transformation, calling for new policy approaches. This new dynamic is not yet understood clearly, let alone that adequate policy answers for 'the managing' of these new migration processes and the consequences for receiving and sending societies are within. This comprehensive overview of migration research conducted throughout the IMISCOE network of European research analyses the influx of various types of immigrants in Western Europe post World War II, mostly to large cities, as well as the reactions of the native populations and governments to the changes and pressures brought about by immigration.

    Hinterlands and Regional Dynamics in the Ancient Southwest (2023)
    University of Arizona Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2023-10-05
    Description: Hinterlands and Regional Dynamics in the Ancient Southwest is the first volume dedicated to understanding the nature of and changes in regional social autonomy, political hegemony, and organizational complexity across the entire prehistoric American Southwest. With geographic coverage extending from the Great Plains to the Colorado River, and from Mesa Verde to the international border, the volume's ten case studies synthesize research that enhances our understanding of the ancient Southwest's highly variable demographic, land use, and economic histories. For this volume, "hinterlands" are those areas whose archaeological records do not disclose the ceramic, architectural, and network evidence that initially led to the establishment of the Hohokam, Chaco, and Casas Grandes regional systems. Employing a variety of perspectives, such as the cultural landscapes approach, heterarchy, and the common-pool resource model, as well as technical methods, such as petrographic and stylistic-attribute analyses, the volume's contributors explore variation in hinterland identities, subsistence ecology, and sociopolitical organization as regional systems expanded and contracted between the 9th and 14th centuries AD. The hinterlands of the prehistoric Southwest were home to a substantial number of people and were often used as resource catchments by the inhabitants of regional systems. Importantly, hinterlands also influenced developments of nearby regional systems, under whose footprint they managed to retain considerable autonomy. By considering the dynamics between hinterlands and regional systems, the volume reveals unappreciated aspects of the ancient Southwest's peoples and their lives, thereby deepening our awareness of the region's rich and complicated cultural past.

    Ecstatic Encounters (2023)
    Amsterdam University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-28
    Description: For over a hundred years, writers, artists, anthropologists and tourists have travelled to Bahia, Brazil, in search of the spirit possession cult called Candomblé. Thus, successive generations of cultists have seen a long, steady stream of curious outsiders coming to their temples with notebooks and cameras, questions and inquisitive gazes, or ogling eyes and the hope of inclusion. This study asks what seduced these outsiders to seek access to the Afro-Brazilian religious universe and, conversely, how did cultists respond to the overwhelming interest in their creed and to becoming an object of the outsiders' imaginations. "Thriving in the gap between the sensuous fullness of life and the impossibility of its cultural representation, Ecstatic Encounters opens mind-blowing vistas for 'writing culture' in anthropology today."- Birgit Meyer, Free University of Amsterdam.

    Wirtschaftsethische Perspektiven II. (2023)
    Duncker & Humblot
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-28
    Description: Der vorliegende Band enthält die überarbeiteten Beiträge der Sitzung des Ausschusses »Wirtschaftswissenschaften und Ethik« im Verein für Socialpolitik, die vom 10. bis 12. Februar 1994 in Osnabrück stattgefunden hat. Die Aufsätze liefern einen anschaulichen Eindruck davon, wie sehr in den letzten zehn Jahren ethische Fragen als Probleme wirtschaftlicher Praxis und ökonomischer Theoriebildung an Bedeutung und an Interesse gewonnen haben. Darüber hinaus zeigt sich, daß der anfänglich schwierige Dialog zwischen »Ökonomen« und »Philosophen« bei der Behandlung ethischer, also moralphilosophischer Fragestellungen zunehmend offener und fruchtbarer wird. Die Arbeitstagung und damit auch der vorliegende Tagungsband sind durch drei deutlich erkennbare thematische Schwerpunkte geprägt, die in gewisser Weise einen repräsentativen Querschnitt aus der Vielfalt der gegenwärtigen wirtschafts- und unternehmensethischen Diskussionen bieten. Den ersten Schwerpunkt bilden unternehmensethische Fragestellungen im weiteren Sinne. Josef Wieland erörtert ausgehend von US-amerikanischen Erfahrungen Formen der Institutionalisierung von Moral in der Unternehmung, die er sodann zum Anlaß für grundsätzliche theoretische Reflexionen über die unternehmensethische Problematik nimmt. Im Aufsatz von Margit Osterloh (Mitautoren Regine Tiemann und Simon Grand) steht der mögliche Beitrag der ökonomischen Theorie zum organisationalen Lernen im Zentrum der Betrachtung. Den zweiten Schwerpunkt bilden philosophisch begründete Beiträge zur Wirtschaftsethik. Ulrich Gähde entwickelt am Beispiel des klassischen Utilitarismus sehr grundsätzliche und für die weitere Forschung anregende Überlegungen über die Anwendung wissenschaftstheoretischer Methoden auf ethische Theorien. In seinem Beitrag untersucht Wilfried Hinsch den Begriff der »wohlgeordneten Gesellschaft« bei John Rawls und stellt in diesem Zusammenhang die unterschiedlichen Konsensbegriffe bei Kant und bei Hobbes einander gegenüber. Die drei le

La sociedad actual, lejos de experimentar las consecuencias del llamado “fin del trabajo", expresa sus efectos en cuanto a las formas de gestión laboral promovidas, la flexibilización, la desregulación de relaciones laborales y la pérdida de calidad de las ocupaciones. En este entorno, resulta incluso contradictorio que los conceptos de empleo y desempleo hayan perdido sus significados clásicos ante el aumento del trabajo asalariado socialmente desprotegido y precario, la desaparición de las modalidades salariales convencionales, la expansión del trabajo independiente, autónomo o por cuenta propia, y la emergencia de ocupaciones cada vez más heterogéneas y desigualmente rentables que afectan a gran parte de la fuerza de trabajo, en particular, a la social y demográficamente más vulnerable, dando lugar a nuevas modalidades de desigualdad social y pobreza.

    Discourses on Social Software (2023)
    Amsterdam University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-14
    Description: Can computer scientists contribute to the solution of societal problems? Can logic help to model social interactions? Are there recipes for making groups with diverging preferences arrive at reasonable decisions? Why is common knowledge important for social interaction? Does the rational pursuit of individual interests put the public interest in danger, and if so, why? Discourses on Social Software sheds light on these and similar questions. This book offers the reader an ideal introduction to the exciting new field of social software. It shows in detail the many ways in which the seemingly abstract sciences of logic and computer science can be put to use to analyse and solve contemporary social problems. The unusual format of a series of discussions among a logician, a computer scientist, a philosopher and some researchers from other disciplines encourages the reader to develop his own point of view. The only requirements for reading this book are a nodding familiarity with logic, a curious mind, and a taste for spicy debate. This title is available in the OAPEN Library - http://www.oapen.org.

    Las desigualdades en clave generacional hoy (2023)
    CLACSO
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-29
    Description: Cada uno de los capítulos de este libro hace foco en temáticas que iluminan desigualdades sociales, políticas, económicas y culturales de las infancias y juventudes de América Latina y el Caribe. Asimismo, cada uno de los trabajos aborda temáticas generales y transversales que se tensionan en estudios concretos y temáticas particulares. Si bien los trabajos retoman diversos modos de acceso al campo, asumen como espacio común y punto de partida un posicionamiento político y epistemológico, que no solo se evidencia en las descripciones de contexto, sino fundamentalmente en comprender las desigualdades como categoría central para el abordaje transversal de los estudios de infancias y juventudes en ciencias sociales. Pues los investigadores que participamos como coautores de este libro no nos asumimos como analistas neutrales, por el contrario, estamos inmersos en la sociedad desigual y problemáticas que investigamos.

    Description: A RAND study sought to help the U.S. Forest Service determine the composition of a fleet of airtankers, scoopers, and helicopters that would minimize the total social costs of wildfires, including the cost of large fires and aircraft costs. The research team developed two models to estimate the social cost–minimizing portfolios of firefighting aircraft. Both models favored a fleet dominated by scoopers for the prevention of large fires.

    Publication Date: 2024-03-28
    Description: Der neueste Band der Wirtschaftsethischen Perspektiven enthält die überarbeiteten Beiträge zweier Sitzungen des Ausschusses "Wirtschaftswissenschaften und Ethik" im Verein für Socialpolitik. Dieser Ausschuss setzt sich aus Wirtschaftswissenschaftlern sowie Philosophen und Theologen zusammen. Ingo Pies stellt im ersten Aufsatz das Forschungsprogramm einer ökonomischen Theorie der Moral zur Diskussion. Peter Weise zeigt, wie durch die Interaktionen der Menschen Normen und Verhaltensregelmäßigkeiten evolutorisch und selbstorganisatorisch entstehen können. Joachim Wiemeyers Beitrag zur Ordnung des Arbeitsmarktes versucht, die Diskrepanz zwischen dem dominierenden ökonomischen Ansatz und den vorherrschenden gesellschaftlichen Gerechtigkeitsvorstellungen zu erklären. Volker Arnold zeigt in einem Modell internationalen Steuerwettbewerbs, warum es aus Effizienzgründen sinnvoll ist, Arbeits- und Kapitaleinkommen unterschiedlich zu besteuern. Udo Ebert diskutiert unter dem Leitbild einer lorenz-gerechten Besteuerung grundlegende Prinzipien der Haushaltsbesteuerung. Hans-Peter Weikard geht der Frage nach, ob in einer umlagefinanzierten Rentenversicherung Kindererziehung einen Einfluss auf den Beitrag oder auf den Rentenanspruch haben sollte. Wolfgang Schmitz beschäftigt sich mit dem österreichischen Familienlastenausgleichgesetz aus dem Blickwinkel der Institutionen- und Systemeethik. Ulrich Gähde zeigt, dass die wissenschaftstheoretischen Einsichten, die in die Struktur und Funktionsweise erfahrungswissenschaftlicher Gedankenexperimente gewonnen wurden, auch für die ethische Diskussion von grundlegender Bedeutung sind. Wulf Gaertner stellt im letzten Beitrag die Frage, welche Gerechtigkeitsvorstellungen Studenten der Wirtschaftswissenschaften aufweisen. Die Autoren des vorliegenden Bandes lassen ein weites Spektrum an Fragestellungen erkennen, die von methodischen Grundfragen im Verhältnis von Ethik und Ökonomik über Probleme der Steuer- und Verteilungsgerechtigkeit bis hin zu aktuellen wirtschafts- und gesellschaftspolitischen Themen reichen.

    Wirtschaftsethische Perspektiven III. (2023)

    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-28
    Description: Der vorliegende Band enthält die überarbeiteten Beiträge der Sitzung des Ausschusses »Wirtschaftswissenschaften und Ethik« im »Verein für Socialpolitik«, die vom 9. bis 11. März 1995 in Bern stattgefunden hat. Er beginnt mit einer sehr grundsätzlichen »Suche« von Hans-Balz Peter nach »Kriterien für die Wirtschaftsethik«. Hans-Peter Weikard unterzieht sodann die faktisch vorgenommene »Privatisierung volkseigenen Bodens in den neuen Bundesländern« einer grundsätzlichen rechts- und sozialphilosophischen Betrachtung. Der Zusammenhang von Verteilungs- und Allokationsfragen wird auch in dem anschließenden Beitrag von Volker Arnold über »Einkommensumverteilung - ein Weg zur Stabilisierung marktwirtschaftlicher Systeme?« thematisiert. Grundsätzliche Überlegungen zur »Verteilungsgerechtigkeit aus volkswirtschaftlicher Sicht« entwickelt sodann Johannes Hackmann, indem er einerseits auf die Bedeutung distributiver Fragen auch im Hinblick auf allokative Wirkungen hinweist und zum anderen die vorherrschende utilitaristische Sicht in bezug auf die Verteilungsprobleme als unzureichend charakterisiert. Die Reihe der unternehmensethischen Beiträge beginnt mit Peter Ulrichs »Versuch der Klärung eines unerledigten wirtschaftsethischen Grundproblems« - nämlich der Beziehung zwischen »Unternehmensethik und 'Gewinnprinzip'«. In seinen »Betrachtungen zum Verhältnis zwischen Betriebswirtschaftslehre und Unternehmensethik« untersucht Jean-Paul Thommen dieses Beziehungsfeld zunächst in dogmenhistorischer Perspektive. Margit Osterloh unternimmt sodann zunächst einen Vergleich der unternehmensethischen Konzeptionen von Steinmann/Löhr, Ulrich und Homann. Der abschließende Beitrag von Michael Schramm widmet sich der Frage, ob Gary S. Beckers ökonomischer Ansatz ein Taschenspielertrick sei. Die Beiträge umfassen ein weites Spektrum an Fragestellungen mit den Schwerpunkten Unternehmensethik, Verteilungsprobleme und methodische Grundsatzüberlegungen. Es wird hierbei deutlich, daß der

    Migrants and Markets (2023)
    Amsterdam University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-30
    Description: The established academic discipline that is economics and migration research - as a growing sub-discipline that has inevitably transgressed its own academic bounds - have long treated each other with mutual indifference. While migration research has suffered from a normative overstretch, economics has often reduced its analytical scope to those areas that traditionally belong to the 'genuine' economic sphere. Migrants and Markets contains eleven case studies that aim to overcome this artificially imposed barrier between economics and migration research. This is accomplished by applying economic methods to migratory phenomena, using economic theories to explain migratory patterns and by approaching the structure and development of markets as integral to the shaping of stocks and flows of migrants. This title is available in the OAPEN Library - http://www.oapen.org.

    Uma longa viagem pela América Latina (2023)

    Publication Date: 2024-03-28
    Description: Nas décadas de 1950 e, sobretudo, entre 1960 e 1970, as ciências sociais latino-americanas adquiriram notável reconhecimento em nível internacional, especialmente pela busca de um pensamiento crítico própio e com uma mistura de desciplinas e teorias. O livro de Hélgio Trindade reconstrói partes significativas dessa história e constrói uma plataforma essencial e inevitável para continuar investigando as ciências sociais na América Latina e no Caribe. Está escrito por alguém que fez e fez parte desse proceso, tanto pela sua produção acadêmica quanto pela sua atuação em organizações acadêmicas nacionais e internacionais (CLACSO, AUGM, ANPOCS, IESALC/UNESCO, UNILA). Ou seja, por um protagonista de primeira linha. Tenho para mim que em um momento em que -desde a década de 1990- o pensamiento crítico latino-americano perdeu o vigor das décadas anteriores, o livro do Hélgio é uma contribuição formidável para a recuperação necessária.

    Publication Date: 2024-04-03
    Description: Security is a defining characteristic of our age and the driving force behind the management of collective political, economic, and social life. Directed at safeguarding society against future peril, security is often thought of as the hard infrastructures and invisible technologies assumed to deliver it: walls, turnstiles, CCTV cameras, digital encryption, and the like. The contributors to Futureproof redirect this focus, showing how security is a sensory domain shaped by affect and image as much as rules and rationalities. They examine security as it is lived and felt in domains as varied as real estate listings, active-shooter drills, border crossings, landslide maps, gang graffiti, and museum exhibits to theorize how security regimes are expressed through aesthetic forms. Taking a global perspective with studies ranging from Jamaica to Jakarta and Colombia to the U.S.-Mexico border, ;Futureproof expands our understanding of the security practices, infrastructures, and technologies that pervade everyday life.Contributors.

    Indigenous Participation in Australian Economies II (2023)
    ANU Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-28
    Description: This is the second volume to emerge from a project on Indigenous participation in the Australian economy, funded by an Australian Research Council (ARC) Linkage Grant, and involving the cooperation of the School of Archaeology and Anthropology at The Australian National University and the National Museum of Australia. The Chief Investigators were Ian Keen, Chris Lloyd, Anthony Redmond, the Partner Investigator was Mike Pickering, Fiona Skyring was an associate researcher on the project, and Natasha Fijn was research assistant. The present volume arises out of a conference in Canberra on Indigenous Participation in Australian Economies at the National Museum of Australia on 9-10 November 2009, which attracted more than thirty presenters. The diverse themes included histories of economic relations, the role of camels and dingoes in Indigenous-settler relations, material culture and the economy, the economies of communities from missions and stations to fringe camps and towns, the transitions from payment-in-kind to wage economies and Community Development Employment Projects, the issue of unpaid and stolen wages, local enterprises, and conflicts over development. Sixteen of those papers have been developed as chapters in this volume, together with a foreword by Professor Jon Altman. This book comprises a companion volume to Indigenous Participation in Australian Economies: Historical and Anthropological Perspectives, published by ANU E Press in 2010.

    Getting an Heir (2023)
    University of Hawai'i Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: The need for heirs in any traditional society is a compelling one. In traditional China, where inheritance and notions of filiality depended on the production of progeny, the need was nearly absolute. As Ann Waltner makes clear in this broadly researched study of adoption in the late Ming and early Ch'ing periods, the getting of an heir was a complex, even paradoxical undertaking. Although adoption involving persons of the same surname was the only arrangement ritually and legally sanctioned in Chinese society, adoption of persons of a different surname was a relatively common practice. Using medical and ritual texts, legal codes, local gazetteers, biography, and fiction, Waltner examines the multiple dimensions of the practice of adoption and identifies not only the dominant ideology prohibiting adoption across surname lines, but also a parallel discourse justifying the practice.

    The Transformation of Solidarity (2023)
    Amsterdam University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-29
    Description: This study investigates the consequences of processes of social individualisation and economic globalisation for welfare state solidarity. Solidarity is defined as the willingness to share risks. The institutions of the welfare state, such as social security or health care insurance, are founded on the willingness of citizens to share risks and organize solidarity between the young and the old, between the healthy and the sick, between the working and the unemployed. Processes of individualisation and globalisation affect these risks and in this study the authors investigate how and to what extent these changes influence the way risks are perceived by the public, what this means for the willingness to share risks and how this is translated in risk management strategies in firms, unions and administrative agencies. This title is available in the OAPEN Library - http://www.oapen.org.

    Race Characters (2023)

    Publication Date: 2024-03-26
    Description: A vexed figure inhabits U.S. literature and culture: the visibly racialized immigrant who disavows minority identity and embraces the American dream. Such figures are potent and controversial, for they promise to expiate racial violence and perpetuate an exceptionalist ideal of America. Swati Rana grapples with these figures, building on studies of literary character and racial form. Rana offers a new way to view characterization through racialization that creates a fuller social reading of race. Situated in a nascent period of ethnic identification from 1900 to 1960, this book focuses on immigrant writers who do not fit neatly into a resistance-based model of ethnic literature. Writings by Paule Marshall, Ameen Rihani, Dalip Singh Saund, Jose Garcia Villa, and Jose Antonio Villarreal symbolize different aspects of the American dream, from individualism to imperialism, assimilation to upward mobility. The dynamics of characterization are also those of contestation, Rana argues. Analyzing the interrelation of persona and personhood, Race Characters presents an original method of comparison, revealing how the protagonist of the American dream is socially constrained and structurally driven.

    By Honor Bound (2023)

    Publication Date: 2024-04-02
    Description: In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, Russians from all ranks of society were bound together by a culture of honor. Here one of the foremost scholars of early modern Russia explores the intricate and highly stylized codes that made up this culture. Nancy Shields Kollmann describes how these codes were manipulated to construct identity and enforce social norms—and also to defend against insults, to pursue vendettas, and to unsettle communities. She offers evidence for a new view of the relationship of state and society in the Russian empire, and her richly comparative approach enhances knowledge of statebuilding in premodern Europe. By presenting Muscovite state and society in the context of medieval and early modern Europe, she exposes similarities that blur long-standing distinctions between Russian and European history. Through the prism of honor, Kollmann examines the interaction of the Russian state and its people in regulating social relations and defining an individual's rank. She finds vital information in a collection of transcripts of legal suits brought by elites and peasants alike to avenge insult to honor. The cases make clear the conservative role honor played in society as well as the ability of men and women to employ this body of ideas to address their relations with one another and with the state. Kollmann demonstrates that the grand princes—and later the tsars—tolerated a surprising degree of local autonomy throughout their rapidly expanding realm. Her work marks a stark contrast with traditional Russian historiography, which exaggerates the power of the state and downplays the volition of society. ; In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, Russians from all ranks of society were bound together by a culture of honor.

    Description: The Department of Defense has long played a major role in humanitarian assistance/disaster response (HA/DR) operations due to its unique capabilities, manpower, and forward-deployed resources. The Asia-Pacific region is of particular importance because it bears the brunt of the majority of the world’s natural disasters and is home to key U.S. allies. In an effort to improve the effectiveness of such operations, this report analyzes recent HA/DR operations in Burma, Indonesia, Pakistan, and Japan, and identifies lessons that can be applied in the future.

    Antología del pensamiento crítico guatemalteco contemporáneo (2023)
    CLACSO
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-03-29
    Description: La tarea de elaborar una antología del pensamiento social crítico en Guatemala ha supuesto un esfuerzo en varios sentidos. En primer lugar, delimitar qué se entiende por pensamiento crítico, y luego, decidir qué período abarcar, cuáles autoras y autores incluir, y cuáles los textos pertinentes […]. Para acotar la búsqueda se comprendió como pensamiento social crítico al conjunto de ideas elaboradas desde perspectivas divergentes, a contracorriente de los discursos y las historias oficiales, que han sido el resultado de la investigación, análisis, sistematización y reflexión sobre la realidad de la sociedad guatemalteca, con el propósito de desentrañar las estructuras de poder que sostienen un orden desigual, de raíces coloniales, que niega derechos y limita el desarrollo humano de la mayoría de la población, particularmente de las mujeres, y los pueblos indígenas. En la antología que ahora se presenta, se incluye a treinta y cinco autoras y autores, mujeres y hombres, de diversas identidades, y generaciones. Algunos con una producción muy vasta y otros que inician sus reflexiones. Se trató de mostrar una polifonía de voces y perspectivas, y para efectos de una mejor comprensión se establecieron cuatro ejes que dan cuenta de las principales preocupaciones sociales, intelectuales y políticas que han predominado en las décadas de finales del siglo veinte e inicios del veintiuno: “Estado, política, sociedad y economía" (Eje 1); “Violencia política, movimientos sociales, memoria e historia" (Eje 2); “Etnicidad, relaciones interétnicas, racismo" (Eje 3); y, por último, “Cuerpos, género, feminismos, sexualidades, violencia" (Eje 4). […] Considero este texto como un aporte más en el conocimiento de la producción intelectual en Guatemala, una invitación a profundizar en el pensamiento social crítico, a identificar autorías, temas y problemáticas que ahora no fueron incorporadas. Una motivación para continuar indagando y construyendo la historia de los aportes intelectuales en el país, ampliando miradas y ejes de análisis, temporalidades y temáticas. Del Prólogo de Ana Silvia Monzón

    Publication Date: 2024-03-29
    Description: Jugendliche of Color sind auch in Deutschland von Racial Profiling und Polizeigewalt betroffen. Welche Erfahrungen machen sie mit diesen Praktiken? Wie erlangen sie ihre Handlungsfähigkeit zurück? Und welche Maßnahmen können sie ergreifen, um die Verhältnisse zu verbessern? Markus Textor bietet Antworten auf diese Fragen, indem er Licht auf ein national wie international schwach erforschtes Feld wirft. Durch qualitative Analysen zeigt er empirisch auf, dass Racial Profiling als rassistische Diskriminierungspraxis zu begreifen ist - und stößt so nicht nur theoretische Debatten in den Erziehungs-, Sozial- und Politikwissenschaften an, sondern macht diese auch für die sozialarbeiterische Praxis zugänglich.

    Description: In this set of three powerful essays, the late world-renowned scholar and philosopher, Ismail Al-Faruqi, displays his formidable insight, vast knowledge, and unique trademark logic, brought to bear on subjects still considered to be at the forefront of discourse on comparative religion. Al-Faruqi delves deep into the heart of the debate on the metaphysical nature of values in the Western and Muslim traditions, of the history of religions, and other issues, ultimately to guide readers to a clarity of understanding and Islam's position in relation to them. This will interest and stimulate many readers, enlightened thinkers, modern secularists, philosophers and theologians, Muslim or otherwise as Al-Faruqi strives to arrive at an accurate assessment of the fundamentals of these important subjects, and their significance for the human condition.

    Description: More than 25 experts from around the world have contributed to this unique and provocative book. In a series of illuminating short essays, each author has presented a striking image as an invitation to consider the ghosts of colonialism and imperialism in today’s global economy. In defiance of those who claim that today’s capitalist system is free of racism and exploitation, this book shows that the past is not behind us, it defines our world and our lives. This book takes the reader on a global tour, from Malaysia to Canada, from Angola to Mexico, from Libya to China, from the City of London to the Australian outback, from the deep sea to the atmosphere. Along the way we meet the financiers, artists, advertisers, activists and everyday people who are grappling with the entangled legacies of empire.

    Perspectives in Bioethics, Science, and Public Policy (2023)
    Purdue University Press
    Details
    Publication Date: 2024-04-08
    Description: In this book, nine thought-leaders engage with some of the hottest moral issues in science and ethics. Based on talks originally given at the annual "Purdue Lectures in Ethics, Policy, and Science," the chapters explore interconnections between the three areas in an engaging and accessible way. Addressing a mixed public audience, the authors go beyond dry theory to explore some of the difficult moral questions that face scientists and policy-makers every day. The introduction presents a theoretical framework for the book, defining the term "bioethics" as extending well beyond human well-being to wider relations between humans, nonhuman animals, the environment, and biotechnologies. Three sections then explore the complex relationship between moral value, scientific knowledge, and policy making. The first section starts with thoughts on nonhuman animal pain and moves to a discussion of animal understanding. The second section explores climate change and the impact of "green" nanotechnology on environmental concerns. The final section begins with dialog about ethical issues in nanotechnology, moves to an exploration of bio-banks (a technology with broad potential medical and environmental impact), and ends with a survey of the impact of biotechnologies on (synthetic) life itself. Contents: Part 1: Animals: Moral agency, moral considerability, and consciousness (Daniel Kelly) and From minds to minding (Mark Bernstein); Animal Pain: What is it and why does it matter? (Bernard Rollin). Part 2: Environment: The future of environmental ethics (Holmes Rolston III); Climate change, human rights, and the trillionth ton of carbon (Henry Shue); Ethics, environment, and nanotechnology (Barbara Karn). Part 3: Biotechnologies: Nanotechnologies: Science and society (James Leary); Ethical issues in constructing and using bio-banks (Eric Meslin); Synthetic life: A new industrial revolution (Gregory Kaebnick).

    Description: Ist Zusammengehörigkeit auf Worte angewiesen? Bedeutet ein,Mehr' an Sprachigkeit zugleich ein ,Mehr' an Zugehörigkeit? Diese Studie fragt nach der Bedeutung des Sprechens und Schreibens für die Mitteilung und den Vollzug von Gefühlen der Zugehörigkeit. In Auseinandersetzung mit dem Werk zweier literarischer Gegenwartsautorinnen, Herta Müller und Ilma Rakusa, entwickelt sie das affektpoetologische Programm eines Schreibens im Wi(e)derspruch, das literaturwissenschaftliche Verfahren erstmalig mit Ansätzen der sozialwissenschaftlich grundierten Zugehörigkeitsforschung verbindet und sich an ein interdisziplinär aufgeschlossenes Lesepublikum richtet. Marion Acker zeigt, dass Zugehörigkeit eine vielgestaltige Herausforderung ist, die im Schreiben der beiden Autorinnen immer wieder aufs Neue aufgenommen wird und das Potenzial besitzt, normative Annahmen zu hinterfragen.
