This edited volume extends current voluntourism theorizing by critically examining the intersections among various forms of work-leisure travel and language learning/teaching. The book’s contributors investigate volunteer tourism and its cognates such as working holidaymaking, international internships, and gap year labor, as discursive fields in which powerful ideas about language(s), their speakers, and pedagogical practices are propagated worldwide. The various authors’ chapters shed light on the hegemony of global English, the social consequences of linguistic commodification and neoliberal rationalities, the ways in which speaker identity positions can alter the exchange value of languages, and how language competencies are tied to power in the labor market, among related topics. This volume will be of interest to readers in Applied Linguistics, Critical Sociolinguistics, Educational and Linguistic Anthropology, Tourism and Leisure Studies, Migration and Mobility Studies, and Language Teaching and Learning.

Anas M. Alahmed argues that the Entertainment Authority of Saudi Arabia created in 2016 was meant to introduce a “new Saudi” to the Western outsider audience and that the “new Saudi” state is on a mission to transform the country from a traditional and conservative kingdom to a new state dedicated to social modernization and openness.

Therefore, the author shows how the entertainment sector relies heavily on reproducing the Western culture of entertainment production and depends on Western businesses to b...
Die Festschrift für Anas Schakfeh, ehemaliger Präsident der Islamischen Glaubensgemeinschaft, würdigt ihn als Menschen und Denker. Er ist vielen bekannt als das langjährige Gesicht des Islams in Österreich, der sich einerseits für einen Platz der MuslimInnen in der Gesellschaft und andererseits für einen interreligiösen Dialog und ein gedeihliches Miteinander eingesetzt hat und als Verteidiger der Demokratie, mitunter auch in seiner ursprünglichen Heimat Syrien. Namhafte Persönlichkeiten aus Politik, Wissenschaft und Religion widmen dem Jubilar thematische Beiträge sowie persönliche Erinnerungen.
"Die Sache ist kompliziert." Ein Bonmot, das einem ehemaligen Bundeskanzler der Republik Österreich zugeschrieben wird.

Der Autor zeigt in diesem Buch auf, dass die Integration der Muslime in Europa sehr wichtig ist, dass man diese Aufgabe aber nicht allein politischen Institutionen überlassen darf. Er vertritt überzeugend die Meinung, dass Integration nicht in Sitzungszimmern gelebt wird, sondern in der Nachbarschaft, in den Schulen, in den Wohnungen, womöglich bereits im Kindergarten; jedenfalls aber immer dort, wo sich Menschen begegnen.
