Kerl sein.
Ein "echter" Kerl sein - wohl eine der häufigsten Erwartungen, mit denen sich Jungen konfrontiert sehen. Und sicherlich auch eine Wunschvorstellung bei vielen von ihnen. Bloß: Was ist überhaupt ein Kerl, ein "echter" zumal? Ein cooler Checker, der weiß, wo's langgeht? Ein kerniger Typ, der Eier hat? Einer, der kräftig austeilen, aber auch ordentlich einstecken kann? Jemand, der sich durchsetzt - wenn's sein muss: um jeden Preis? Oder verhält es sich ganz anders? Muss man(n) ein Frauenversteher sein? Sind Gefühl und Härte gefragt? Jugendszenen halten Angebote, manchmal auch Kopiervorlagen für Männlichkeitsvorstellungen und -praxen bereit. Straßenkulturen, rechte Szenen, Autonome , aber auch Emos, Transgender und weitere Jugend- und Populärkulturen bieten Antworten auf Fragen wie die oben genannten. In welcher Gestalt sie dies jeweils tun und für wen sie Attraktivität entfalten, beschreiben und analysieren die Beiträge dieses Buches.
London’s Urban Landscape
London’s Urban Landscape is the first major study of a global city to adopt a materialist perspective and stress the significance of place and the built environment to the urban landscape. Edited by Christopher Tilley, the volume is inspired by phenomenological thinking and presents fine-grained ethnographies of the practices of everyday life in London. In doing so, it charts a unique perspective on the city that integrates ethnographies of daily life with an analysis of material culture. The first part of the volume considers the residential sphere of urban life, discussing in detailed case studies ordinary residential streets, housing estates, suburbia and London’s mobile ‘linear vil...
Parables for the Virtual
Although the body has been the focus of much contemporary cultural theory, the models that are typically applied neglect the most salient characteristics of embodied existence—movement, affect, and sensation—in favor of concepts derived from linguistic theory. In Parables for the Virtual Brian Massumi views the body and media such as television, film, and the Internet, as cultural formations that operate on multiple registers of sensation beyond the reach of the reading techniques founded on the standard rhetorical and semiotic models. Renewing and assessing William James's radical empiricism and Henri Bergson's philosophy of perception through the filter of the post-war French philosoph...
Earnings Management
This book is a study of earnings management, aimed at scholars and professionals in accounting, finance, economics, and law.

From Revolt to Riches
This collection investigates the culture and history of the Low Countries in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries from both international and interdisciplinary perspectives. The period was one of extraordinary upheaval and change, as the combined impact of Renaissance, Reformation and Revolt resulted in the radically new conditions – political, economic and intellectual – of the Dutch Republic in its Golden Age. While many aspects of this rich and nuanced era have been studied before, the emphasis of this volume is on a series of interactions and interrelations: between communities and their varying but often cognate languages; between different but overlapping spheres of human activi...
War in the Age of Intelligent Machines
The author aims to show how the emergence of intelligent and autonomous bombs and missiles equipped with artificial perception and decision-making capabilities represents a profound historical shift in the relation of human beings both to machines and to information.
Before Trans
“This thoughtful academic treatise . . . explores the lives of three famous gender nonconformists in fin-de-siècle Paris.” —Publishers Weekly Before the term “transgender” existed, there were those who experienced their gender in complex ways. Before Trans examines the lives and writings of Jane Dieulafoy (1850–1916), Rachilde (1860–1953), and Marc de Montifaud (1845–1912), three French writers whose gender expression did not conform to nineteenth-century notions of femininity. Dieulafoy fought alongside her husband in the Franco-Prussian War; later she wrote novels about girls becoming boys and enjoyed being photographed in her signature men's suits. Rachilde became famous ...
Israel / Palestine
What explains the peculiar intensity and evident intractability of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict? Of all the ""hot spots"" in the world today, the apparently endless clash between Jews and Arabs in the Middle East seems unique in its longevity and resistance to resolution. Is this conflict really different from other ethnic and nationalist confrontations, and if so, in what way? In this fully revised and expanded fifth edition of his highly respected introductory text, Alan Dowty demystifies the conflict by putting it in broad historical perspective, identifying its roots, and tracing its evolution up to the current impasse. His account offers a clear analytic framework for understanding ...
