andererseits - Yearbook of Transatlantic German Studies
andererseits provides a forum for research, commentary, and creative work on topics related to the German-speaking world and the field of German Studies. Works presented in the publication come from a wide variety of genres including book reviews, poetry, essays, editorials, forum discussions, academic notes, lectures, and traditional peer-reviewed academic articles. In addition, we welcome contributions by journalists, librarians, archivists, and other commentators interested in German Studies broadly conceived. As a specifically transatlantic endeavor, we also highlight select topics in American Studies that impact German Studies. By publishing such a diverse array of material, we hope to demonstrate the extraordinary value of the humanities in general, and German Studies in particular, on a variety of intellectual and cultural levels. This issue features sections about German Studies approaches to media literacy, Stephen Dowden's book »Modernism and Mimesis« and the poetics of ambiguous memory.
South Asian Christian Diaspora
The South Asian Christian diaspora is largely invisible in the literature about religion and migration. This is the first comprehensive study of South Asian Christians living in Europe and North America, presenting the main features of these diasporas, their community histories and their religious practices. The South Asian Christian diaspora is pluralistic both in terms of religious adherence, cultural tradition and geographical areas of origin. This book gives justice to such pluralism and presents a multiplicity of cultures and traditions typical of the South Asian Christian diaspora. Issues such as the institutionalization of the religious traditions in new countries, identity, the paradox of belonging both to a minority immigrant group and a majority religion, the social functions of rituals, attitudes to language, generational transfer, and marriage and family life, are all discussed.
The Schieltz Family History
Jean Pierre Schiltz, son of Dominique Schiltz and Marie Reiter, was born in 1824 in Aubange, Belgium. He married Marguerite Huberty (1839-1926) in 1858 in Ohio. He died in 1898 in Darke County, Ohio. Descendants and relatives lived mainly in Ohio.
Asian Migrants in Europe
This volume explores the renewal of Asian migration to Europe that began in the late 18th century while still in the frame of the colonial regime. It counters the construction of an unchanging East versus a dynamic West developed in the 19th century; of static, rooted populations versus adventurous young men seeking opportunities afar (the producers of this cliche overlooked migrating women). These essays provide analyses of some of the migrants from the different societies of Asia in Europe. They focus on migrants from East and South Asia and explore their different experiences in Europe from the 18th century to the present.
Internationalizing Internet Studies
This timely book offers a mapping of the Internet as it has developed and is used internationally, providing a lively and challenging examination of the Internet and Internet studies. There is much interest among scholars and researchers in understanding the place of the Internet in cultural, social, national, and regional settings. This is the first book-length account that not only provides a range of perspectives on the international Internet, but also explores the implications of such new knowledge and accounts for concepts, methods, and themes in Internet studies. Of special interest will be the book’s fresh and up-to-date coverage of the Internet in perhaps the most dynamic region at present: Asia-Pacific.
Ferne Eliten
Fern – so erscheinen vielen Menschen, insbesondere Ostdeutschen und Menschen mit Migrationshintergrund, die Eliten in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland. Die Beiträge des Bandes untersuchen aus sozialwissenschaftlicher Perspektive, ob dieser verbreitete Eindruck zutrifft und warum es ihn gibt. Die Analysen zeigen einerseits auf, in welchen Sektoren der Gesellschaft und warum Ostdeutsche und Menschen mit Migrationshintergrund unterrepräsentiert sind. Andererseits wird diskutiert, welche Folgen das für die politischen Einstellungen hat und wieso das ein gesellschaftliches Problem ist. Dafür wurden u.a. mehr als 2.800 Lebensläufe von Inhaber*innen wichtiger Führungspositionen erhoben sowie Interviews mit Elitenangehörigen und eine repräsentative Bevölkerungsbefragung durchgeführt. Den Band beschließen Handlungsempfehlungen für den weiteren gesellschaftspolitischen Umgang mit der Unterrepräsentation dieser, aber auch anderer unterprivilegierter Bevölkerungsgruppen.
Non-Inclusive Education in Central and Eastern Europe
This book presents research into inclusive education in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), written by scholars based in CEE. Inclusive education has become a framework for understanding and embracing diversity but most of the research in this area has been carried out in intercultural or culturally diverse settings within a relatively inclusive and open framework of democratic/liberal and multicultural Western societies. Unlike many Western societies, the realities of CEE countries are often much less diverse and connected with different fragile historical and political processes, which puts tackling sensitive topics in a different context. The editors and contributors address the dominant We...
Feminizide
Seit einiger Zeit werden in Deutschland zunehmend die Begriffe „Femizid“ oder „Feminizid“ benutzt, um auf strukturelle Ursachen von Tötungsdelikten ancis und trans Frauen zu verweisen. In Lateinamerika hingegen haben schon in den frühen 2000er Jahren zivilgesellschaftliche Gruppen und feministische Wissenschaftler*innen damit begonnen, den Zusammenhang von tödlicher Gewalt gegen Frauen und einer hierarchischen Zweigeschlechtlichkeit zu betrachten und zu kritisieren. Sozialwissenschaftler*innen, Anthropolog*innen und Jurist*innen von Mexiko bis Argentinien haben sich genauer mit den Erscheinungsformen, Ausmaßen, Ursachen und Kontexten von Feminiziden auseinandergesetzt und politische Antworten gesucht. Die Herausgeberinnen machen in diesem Band eine Auswahl an übersetzten Texten zugänglich, die von oft zitierten Standardwerken zum Feminizid-Begriff bis hin zu aktuelleren Debatten reichen.
Mörderinnen
Weibliche Verbrechen werden nicht nur als Normverletzungen im ethischen, juristischen oder humanitären Sinne wahrgenommen - sondern auch und vor allem als Verstöße gegen Gendernormen. Welche Körperstereotype werden in diversen Medien und Gattungen mobilisiert oder kritisch befragt? Welche Vorstellungen von »richtigen« Geschlechterverhältnissen und Geschlechtsidentitäten kommen dabei ins Spiel? Diese und andere Fragen werden in »Mörderinnen« von Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftlern aus unterschiedlichen Disziplinen an Repräsentationen von Mörderinnen in Film, Bild, Oper, Literatur und Massenmedien diskutiert und durch Beiträge des Autorenduos Peter Hiess/Christian Lunzer und des Kriminalisten & Autors Stephan Harbort bereichert.
European cities
European cities: Modernity, race and colonialism is a multidisciplinary collection of scholarly studies which rethink European urban modernity from a race-conscious perspective, being aware of (post-)colonial entanglements. The twelve original contributions empirically focus on such various cities as Barcelona, Buenos Aires, Cottbus, Genoa, Hamburg, Madrid, Mitrovica, Naples, Paris, Sheffield, and Thessaloniki, engaging multiple combinations of global urban studies, from various historical perspectives, with postcolonial, decolonial and critical race studies. Primarily inspired by the notion of Provincializing Europe (Dipesh Chakrabarty) the collection interrogates dominant, Eurocentric theo...
