Cosmopolitan Archaeologies
An important collection, Cosmopolitan Archaeologies delves into the politics of contemporary archaeology in an increasingly complex international environment. The contributors explore the implications of applying the cosmopolitan ideals of obligation to others and respect for cultural difference to archaeological practice, showing that those ethics increasingly demand the rethinking of research agendas. While cosmopolitan archaeologies must be practiced in contextually specific ways, what unites and defines them is archaeologists’ acceptance of responsibility for the repercussions of their projects, as well as their undertaking of heritage practices attentive to the concerns of the living ...
Biomimetics in Architecture
The purpose of investigating the overlaps between architecture and biology is neither to draw borders or make further distinctions nor to declare architecture alive, but to clarify what is currently happening in the blurred fields, and to investigate the emerging discipline of „biomimetics in architecture" [Architekturbionik]. An overview of the present state of research in the relatively young scientific field of biomimetics shows the potential of the approach. The new discipline aims at innovation by making use of the subtle systems and solutions in nature having evolved within millions of years. Approaches that have been taken to transfer nature's principles to architecture have provided successful developments. The new approach presented in this book transfers the abstract concept of life onto built environment. Strategic search for life's criteria in architecture delivers a new view of architectural achievements and makes the innovative potential visible, which has not been exploited yet. A selection of case studies illustrates the diversity of starting points: from vernacular architecture to space exploration.
Melancholic Modalities
Typically Dismissed as the Remnants of Ottoman Nostalgia, the diverse melancholies intentionally cultivated by contemporary Turkish classical musicians is a central aspect of their socialization. Melancholic Modalities is the first in-depth study of the affective and sonic practices developed and sustained by professional musicians who teach and perform a present-day genre substantially rooted in the musics of the elite Ottoman court and Mevlevi Sufi lodges. Through extensive archival and ethnographic research, author Denise Gill analyzes how melancholic music-making emerges as pleasurable, spiritually redeeming, and reparative. Focusing on the diverse practices of musicians who deploy and c...
Invasive Species and Human Health
Invasive alien plants and animals are known for their disruption of ecosystems and threat to biodiversity. This book highlights their major impact on human health. This includes not only direct effects through contact with the species via bites, wounds and disease, but also indirect effects caused by changes induced in ecosystems by invasive species, such as more water hyacinth increasing mosquito levels and thereby the potential for malaria. Covering a wide range of case studies from different taxa (animals and plants), and giving an overview of the diverse impacts of invasive species on health in developed and developing countries, the book is a significant contribution that will help in p...
The Religious Identity of Young Muslim Women in Berlin
