Noch bis vor einigen Jahren galt Solidarität als linker, gewerkschaftlicher, gegen globale Ungleichheit engagierter Begriff. Mit nationale Grenzen überspringenden Bekundungen – von »Je suis Charlie« über »Wir schaffen das«, »#MeToo« und »Black Lives Matter« bis hin zur Hochkonjunktur der Solidarität in der Coronapandemie – änderte sich dies. Doch was sind die heutigen Grundlagen von Solidarität? Wie kann solidarisches Handeln gelingen? Bedeutet ein Klick in den sozialen Medien, dass solidarisch gegen Missstände oder strukturelle Unzulänglichkeiten gehandelt wird? Welchen Anfeindungen sind Menschen ausgesetzt, wenn sie sich öffentlich solidarisch verhalten? Ist Solidarität ein Schlüssel zur Bewältigung der gegenwärtigen Krisen? Die Beiträge dieses Buches gehen dem nach, was Solidarität heute in ihrer Vielgestaltigkeit ausmacht.
Die Soziale Frage – historisch gewachsen und wieder hochaktuell Das Lehrbuch erörtert in gesellschaftsanalytischer Herangehensweise, welche Rolle Soziale Arbeit in der sozialen Entwicklung einnimmt. Verschiedene Aspekte sozialer Ungleichheit werden hierbei aufgegriffen wie Erwerbslosigkeit, steigendes Armutsrisiko, Obdachlosigkeit und Prekarität in den Industrienationen. Das Buch analysiert die wichtigsten Brennpunkte in der Geschichte der Sozialen Frage bis heute und zeigt, was die Soziale Arbeit aus der Vergangenheit lernen kann.
No, Anti-Book is not a book about books. Not exactly. And yet it is a must for anyone interested in the future of the book. Presenting what he terms “a communism of textual matter,” Nicholas Thoburn explores the encounter between political thought and experimental writing and publishing, shifting the politics of text from an exclusive concern with content and meaning to the media forms and social relations by which text is produced and consumed. Taking a “post-digital” approach in considering a wide array of textual media forms, Thoburn invites us to challenge the commodity form of books—to stop imagining books as transcendent intellectual, moral, and aesthetic goods unsullied by c...
Nanoparticles have numerous biomedical applications including drug delivery, bone implants and imaging. A protein corona is formed when proteins existing in a biological system cover the nanoparticle surface. The formation of a nanoparticle–protein corona, changes the behaviour of the nanoparticle, resulting in new biological characteristics and influencing the circulation lifetime, accumulation, toxicity, cellular uptake and agglomeration. This book provides a detailed understanding of nanoparticle–protein corona formation, its biological significance and the factors that govern the formation of coronas. It also explains the impact of nanoparticle–protein interactions on biological assays, ecotoxicity studies and proteomics research. It will be of interest to researchers studying the application of nanoparticles as well as toxicologists and pharmaceutical chemists.
Presenting the linguistic basis for courses and projects on translation, contrastive linguistics, stylistics, reading and discourse studies, this book illustrates grammatical usage through authentic texts from a range of sources, both spoken and written. This new edition has been thoroughly rewritten and redesigned to include many new texts and examples of language in use. Key features include: chapters divided into modules of class-length materials; a wide variety of authentic texts and transcriptions to illustrate points of grammar and to contextualise structure; clear chapter and module summaries enabling efficient class preparation and student revision; exercises and topics for individual study; answer key for analytical exercises; comprehensive index; select biography; suggestions for further reading; and a companion website. This up-to-date descriptive grammar is a complete course for first degree and postgraduate students of English, and is particularly suited for those whose native language is not English.
Migrants, both spatially and mentally, no longer settle in only one national territory but interact or move across borders regularly, profoundly challenging the nation-state and the image of society as a container. This volume explores the ways in which migrants, activists and professionals connect social worlds across national boundaries through a variety of social practices. The contributions from various disciplines - anthropology, economics, political and social sciences, educational studies and social work - illuminate the meaning of agency in situations where the capabilities of transnational actors are constrained by nation-states, their borders and social institutions. Based on a rel...
From Empathy to Denial is the first comprehensive investigation of Holocaust denial in the Arab world, and is based on years of painstaking historical research of mostly Arabic language sources. The authors explore how Holocaust denial emerged after the Second World War, how it paralleled the wider Arab-Israeli conflict after the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948 and how it subsequently became entangled with broader anti-Zionist and anti-Semitic sentiment. In particular Litvak and Webman look at the role of leading intellectuals, the media and other cultural forms in Egypt, Lebanon, Jordan and among the Palestinians and how their representation of the Holocaust has evolved in the last sixty years.
Comic strips tell the stories of a beautiful runaway, an arranged marriage, a hidden family treasure, and the reluctant chieftain of a Scottish clan
