How feminism is used to attack immigration in Europe In recent years, opponents of 'political correctness' have surged to prominence from both left and right, shaping a discourse in which perpetrators are 'defiantly' imagined as Muslim refugees, i.e. outsiders/others, while victims are identified as 'our women'. This poisonous and regressive situation grounds Hark and Villa's theorisation of contemporary regimes of power as engaged primarily in the violent production of difference. In this moment, they argue, the logic of 'differentiate and rule' thoroughly permeates the social; our entire 'way of life' is premised on endless subtle hierarchical distinctions, which determine whole populations' attitudes, feelings and actions. How can learn to value difference, sabotaging all attempts to enlist difference in the service of domination? Hark and Villa make a compelling case for the urgent necessity for a detoxification of feminism as a matter of urgency; and for an ethical mode of living-with the world, that is, living with alterity.

Factors of Success in UN Mission Communication Strategies in Post-conflict Settings

Communication in the broadest sense gains increasing importance in UN peace missions. However, a gap between demand and reality can be observed that points to a multitude of problematic issues. These are taken up by the thesis and it is finally argued: Successful communication strategies need to be aligned to the goals and tasks of the UN mission on all levels in order to be credible; they need to be conflict and context responsive, inclusive and participatory, consider cultural peculiarities and cross vertical as well as horizontal conflict lines. In the tradition of conflict transformative approaches a framework for analysis and evaluation of communication strategies is built and applied to the UN peace missions in Timor-Leste and Nepal. Derived is a dynamic model for the design of communication strategies that covers all relevant fields of action and performances.

Beyond Decent Work

Was können Arbeiterinnen und Arbeiter im globalen Süden der Abwärtsspirale aus niedrigen Löhnen und schlechten Arbeitsbedingungen entgegensetzen? Am Beispiel Indonesiens untersucht diese Studie unterschiedliche Gewerkschaftsstrategien im Kontext transnationaler Wertschöpfungsketten. Sie bietet eine kritische Analyse der jüngeren Arbeitskämpfe in Indonesien vor dem Hintergrund der gewaltvollen Unterdrückung unabhängiger Gewerkschaften unter dem Diktator Suharto einerseits und dem neoliberalen Globalisierungsprozess andererseits, der die transnationalen Konzerne - auf der Suche nach billiger Arbeit - nach Indonesien gebracht hat.

Frau & Mann im Recht

Welche 'Bilder' von Frauen und Männern werden in juristischen Texten zum Thema Unterhalt bei aufrechter Ehe seit 1975 transportiert? Sind diese 'Bilder' mit dem partnerschaftlichen Familienmodell, das 1975 ins österreichische Recht Eingang gefunden hat, vereinbar? Gibt es Unterschiede zwischen Texten aus 1975 und heute? Bestehen Unterschiede zwischen juristischen Textsorten - etwa Lehrbüchern und Kommentaren? Diesen und weiteren Fragen geht die Autorin anhand einer diskursanalytischen Untersuchung nach. Die Hauptanalysekategorien - 'Mann' und 'Frau' - versteht sie als kulturell geprägte soziale Rollen, die den gesellschaftlichen Status mitprägen

Migrationsforschung (inter)disziplinär

Wie werden Erkenntnisse im von Norm- und Wertekonflikten dominierten Feld der Migrations- und Integrationsforschung generiert und reflektiert? Die Beitragenden des Bandes gehen dieser Frage nach und diskutieren die Möglichkeiten und Grenzen im Rahmen ihres Vorgehens. Im Mittelpunkt steht dabei die Verbindung zwischen der inhaltlichen Auseinandersetzung und dem methodisch-analytischen Vorgehen, denn die Transparenz der im Forschungsprozess getroffenen Entscheidungen ist für eine anwendungsorientierte Wissenschaft unabdingbar.

Revisiting the Toolbox of Discourse Studies

  • Publisher: Springer

This book revisits discourse analytic practice, analyzing the idea that the field has access to, provides, or even constitutes a ‘toolbox’ of methods. The precise characteristics of this toolbox have remained largely un-theorized, and the author discusses the different sets of tools and their combinations, particularly those that cut across traditional divides, such as those between disciplines or between quantitative and qualitative methods. The author emphasizes the potential value of integrating methods in terms of triangulation and its specific benefits, arguing that current trends in Open Science require Discourse Studies to re-examine its methodological scope and choices, and move beyond token acknowledgements of ‘eclecticism’. In-depth case studies supplement the methodological discussion and demonstrate the challenges and benefits of triangulation. This book will be a valuable resource for students and scholars in Discourse Studies, particularly those with an interest in combining methods and working across disciplines.
