Handbook of Ethnic Conflict
Although group conflict is hardly new, the last decade has seen a proliferation of conflicts engaging intrastate ethnic groups. It is estimated that two-thirds of violent conflicts being fought each year in every part of the globe including North America are ethnic conflicts. Unlike traditional warfare, civilians comprise more than 80 percent of the casualties, and the economic and psychological impact on survivors is often so devastating that some experts believe that ethnic conflict is the most destabilizing force in the post-Cold War world. Although these conflicts also have political, economic, and other causes, the purpose of this volume is to develop a psychological understanding of ethnic warfare. More specifically, Handbook of Ethnopolitical Conflict explores the function of ethnic, religious, and national identities in intergroup conflict. In addition, it features recommendations for policy makers with the intention to reduce or ameliorate the occurrences and consequences of these conflicts worldwide.
Interviews in Applied Linguistics
This book is a personal reflection on research interviews. Written as an autobiography, it invites the reader to accompany the author on his personal journey of over three decades of research carried out on a range of topics in a range of contexts. It mixes academic genres, moving back and forth between life-story telling and more standard academic writing. This book has been written with several aims in mind. First, it aims to present the author’s perspective on research interviews, acquired over time, to researchers of all kinds (from novice to experienced). Second, while it contains valuable information about the practice of interviewing, it is written in such a way that it avoids the k...
Migrants and Religion: Paths, Issues, and Lenses
Despite the worldwide dramatic spread of religious-based discriminations, persecutions, and conflicts, both official data and academic literature have underestimated their role as a root cause of contemporary migrations. This multidisciplinary study aims to overcome this gap. Through an unprecedented collection of theoretical analysis and original empirical evidence, the book provides unique data and insights on the role of religion in the trajectories of asylum seekers and migrants – from the analysis of the religious geography of sending countries to the role of spirituality as a factor of resilience and adaptation. By enhancing both academic and political debate on these issues, the boo...
Braga ans its territory between the fifth and the fifteenth centuries
Este trabajo trata de dar una visión multidisciplinar y multifocal de una realidad llena de contrastes. El proceso de cambio que experimenta la ciudad de Braga desde su fundación romana hasta los momentos finales del siglo XV, resulta de gran interés para los investigadores del mundo urbano, ya sea desde una perspectiva arqueológica, documental o, lo que es preferible, desde aquella que combina ambos enfoques. Asimismo, aunque este estudio se centra exclusivamente en el caso bracarense, pretende ofrecer, a su vez, perspectivas nuevas que puedan ser aplicadas a otros ejemplos urbanos.
Urban Displacement and Trade in a Senegalese Market
The Malian market at the railway terminus in Dakar was bulldozed in 2009 and, following privatisation of the railway, passenger services in Senegal soon ceased altogether. The consequences were felt especially by women traders who had travelled the line since its inauguration, making the terminus in Dakar the centre of a thriving network of traders and migrants. To examine the fates of those whose livelihoods were destroyed or disrupted, Gunvor Jónsson spent a year with the women evicted from the terminus. Urban Displacement and Trade in a Senegalese Market explores what happens at ‘the end’ of urban displacement, when it is all over, so to speak – when the dust has settled and people...
Límits i identitat ètnica: una recerca a Fraga (Osca)
L’objecte d’estudi d’aquest treball és el fet fronterer, concretament, el cas de la Franja entre Aragó i Catalunya. Així, s’aborden els efectes d’una nova realitat, sorgida dels processos de diferenciació autonòmics, i s’estudien les complexes realitats nacionals d’aquesta nova “frontera calenta” entre dos pobles i dues nacionalitats. L’autor reflecteix en aquest treball el bagatge intel·lectual de la tradició antropològica en l’estudi de les fronteres ètniques.
́Ens calen cançons d ́ara ́. Retrospectiva sobre la Nova Cançó a 50 anys vista
Amb el terme Nova Cançó es va conèixer al moviment artístic i musical que durant els darrers anys del franquisme impulsà l’ús del català a la música. Aquest volum s’endinsa en els primers deu anys d’història, fonamentals per entendre el sorgiment, primer desenvolupament i consolidació d’un fet cultural imprescindible en la història recent de Catalunya.
Conquesta i estructuració territorial del Berguedà (s. IX-XI). La formació del comtat
Durant el segle IX el territori Berguedà esdevé frontera entre el món franc i al-Andalus. A finals de segle el comte cerdà Guifré (el Pilós/Pelós) començarà la definitiva conquesta de tota aquesta franja i s’hi imposaran uns nous sistemes de control territorial. Cerdanya i Berguedà restaran unides políticament i el destí d’una serà la de l’altra. L’objectiu d’aquest treball és analitzar els canvis territorials, polítics, administratius, etc. que es produeixen en aquells moments.
