Changing Landscapes for Childhood and Youth in Europe
Contemporary social transformations, characterised by multi-dimensional globalisation and technological change, have lent new impetus to the emergence of internationally oriented and interdisciplinary childhood and youth studies. Analysis of sharpened polarisations of chances and risks within and between generations in specific life circumstances meets up with the re-conceptualisation of childhood and youth as social constructions within the life-course. As such, insulated national discourses are no longer an adequate framework to address such issues: economic and cultural globalisation processes exert dual and reciprocal influences, restructuring societies and identities from within and wit...
Modernisierung und Sozialarbeit in Spanien
Nur wenige europäische Länder dürften sich in den letzten Jahrzehnten so verändert haben wie Spanien. War es bis in die fünfziger Jahre hinein noch ein bäuerlich geprägtes Land mit niedrigem Bildungsniveau, ist es inzwischen ein Industriestaat mit überwiegend städtischer Bevölkerung geworden. Die Demokratisierung nach dem Tode Francos im Jahre 1975 beendete die "Anomalie Spaniens" und brachte das Land nun auch kulturell und politisch näher an andere westliche Länder heran, nachdem dies in sozialer und ökonomischer Hinsicht bereits vorher geschehen war. Ein deutlicher Ausdruck dieser Annäherung war der Beitritt zur EG im Jahre 1986. Die der Untersuchung zugrunde liegende Frage l...
Young People, Social Capital and Ethnic Identity
Social capital and ethnicity are crucial to young people’s understandings of their social world. The strong bonding networks often assumed in ethnic groups suggest that individuals may prefer to be bonded to each other according to shared socio-cultural factors such as shared histories, memories, language, customs, traditions and values. However, bridging forms of social capital allow new understandings of ethnic identities to emerge, and which involve dynamic and complex social processes that are continually changing and evolving according to time, location and context. This book explores the ways in which the concepts of social capital and ethnicity play a central role in young people’...

The New Southern European Diaspora
The New Southern European Diaspora: Youth, Unemployment, and Migration uses a qualitative and ethnographic approach to investigate the movement of young adults from areas in southern Europe that are still impacted by the 2008 economic crisis. With a particular focus on Spain, Portugal, and Italy, Ricucci examines the difficulties faced by young adults who are entering the labor market and are developing plans to move abroad. Ricucci further investigates mobility and its drivers, relationships among mobile youth and their social networks, perceptions of intra-European Union youth mobility, and the role of institutions, especially schools, in the development of mobility plans. This book is recommended for scholars of anthropology, political science, and economics.
Social work
In many regions of the world the twenty-first century has started with a structure of endless challenges for social work. Social work seems to be in demand almost everywhere, from support schemes for children and young people into adulthood and on to support for elderly people, in community work in cities and rural regions, in disaster relief and in care for refugees. This book describes the field of social work – its themes, problems and methods – in the face of the concept of the second, reflexive modernisation. The question needs to be asked of how, and whether, social work’s success story from the first modernity can continue. We discuss the second modernity as a time of blurring boundaries. Today, it frequently faces the problem that the organised terms of its approaches come up against a social reality where the frameworks of social life are becoming dynamic. Normalised structures are dissolving or becoming mixed with new ones; boundaries are blurring and new ones appearing.

Las videoinstalaciones presentadas representan, sugieren, desvelan, ironizan sobre la complejidad del relato, sobre la multiplicidad de caminos que enlazan a emisores y receptores en la actualidad, ya que literatura, imagen en movimiento, pintura y escultura están imbricadas. Textos extraídos de obras literarias y filosóficas e imágenes electrónicas se articulan ofreciendo una propuesta compleja que inquieta y seduce, una poética que trasciende la mera demostración del peso de los medios para situarse en el universo del arte.
