Internet und Migration
Die Information und Interaktion von Migranten findet inzwischen immer häufiger über das Internet statt. Dort tauschen sie sich mit Nutzern sowohl im Aufnahmeland als auch ihren Herkunftsländern aus. Auf Websites, in Foren und Chats informieren sie sich über soziale und politische Themen beider Länder, diskutieren und nehmen an Online-Petitionen, Abstimmungen oder virtuellen Veranstaltungen teil. Hierdurch bilden sich zum Teil neue ethnische, diasporische bzw. transnationale Online-Gemeinschaften. Insgesamt übernimmt das Internet und dessen Nutzungsmöglichkeiten so eine wichtige Funktion für die gesellschaftliche Partizipation von Migranten im Aufnahmeland und auch für die Entwicklung ihrer Herkunftsländer.
International Handbook of Practical Theology
Practical theology has outgrown its traditional pastoral paradigm. The articles in this handbook recognize that faith, spirituality, and lived religion, within and beyond institutional communities, refer to realms of cultures, ritual practices, and symbolic orders, whose boundaries are not clearly defined and whose contents are shifting. The International Handbook of Practical Theology offers insightful transcultural conceptions of religion and religious matters gathered from various cultures and traditions of faith. The first section presents ‘concepts of religion’. Chapters have to do with considerations of the conceptualizing of religion in the fields of ‘anthropology’, ‘communi...
Exploring the Selfie
This volume explores the selfie not only as a specific photographic practice that is deeply rooted in digital culture, but also how it is understood in relation to other media of self-portrayal. Unlike the public debate about the dangers of 'selfie-narcissism', this anthology discusses what the practice of taking and sharing selfies can tell us about media culture today: can the selfie be critiqued as an image or rather as a social practice? What are the technological conditions of this form of vernacular photography? By gathering articles from the fields of media studies; art history; cultural studies; visual studies; philosophy; sociology and ethnography, this book provides a media archaeological perspective that highlights the relevance of the selfie as a stereotypical as well as creative practice of dealing with ourselves in relation to technology.
The Translator, the Interpreter and the Dialogue of Languages in the Digital Age
This volume offers a comprehensive, multilingual approach to the practice and profession of translation and interpretation as shaped by global markets, advanced technologies and digital literacy. It offers a joint, scholarly-pedagogical, practice-oriented perspective taking stock of recent developments and topical concerns in the field. The book provides a transdisciplinary overview of multilingualism as a phenomenon inextricably connected with the global condition of the subject, with emphasis on cross-cultural communication and the professions of translation and interpretation. As such, it constitutes an accessible and productive pedagogical resource.
Transnational Spaces and Regional Localization. Social Networks, Border Regions and Local-Global Relations
Globalization has encouraged worldwide mobility, intensified migration and supported growing interconnectedness through new technologies; it has therefore substantially contributed to the development of so-called transnational spaces. This volume focuses on transnational spaces which should not be understood as locations on a map or as sealed containers, but instead as relational social areas which are composed of various relationships. Transnationalization increases liberation and/or emancipation from place because social relations overcome physical space and local, regional and national boundaries. As a consequence, a reconfiguration of social, cultural, political and economic scopes of ac...

Multispecies Ethnography
How are natures and animals integrated inclusively into research projects through Multispecies Ethnography?

Pedagogical Documentation in Early Childhood Education
Today, the documentation of children's education and development is an important part of educational work in early childhood education. This book systematises the topic of pedagogical documentation based on current empirical research. The book analyses different pedagogical reasons for documentation and then presents and discusses different procedures of pedagogical documentation in theory and empirical practice : Portfolio, Learning Stories, pedagogical documentation in the room, project documentation and digital pedagogical documentation. Pedagogical documentation is discussed in the tension between a social constructivist understanding of education on the one hand and a diagnostic logic of fostering on the other. The book is intended as a part of pedagogically oriented childhood research, which also wants to contribute to the reflection and improvement of pedagogical practice.
The 360° Gaze
A comprehensive study of the pervasive role of immersion and immersive media in postmodern culture, from a humanities and social sciences perspective. Virtual reality, augmented reality, mixed reality, and other modes of digitally induced immersion herald a major cultural and economic shift in society. Most academic discussions of immersion and immersive media have focused on the technological aspects. In The 360° Gaze, Christian Stiegler takes a humanities and social science approach, emphasizing the human implications of immersive media in postmodern culture. Examining characteristics common to all immersive experiences, he uncovers dominant metaphors, such as the rabbit hole, and prevailing ideologies. He raises fundamental questions about opportunities and risks associated with immersion, as well as the potential effects on individuals, communities, and societies.
