Orangutans
This book describes one of our closest relatives, the orangutan, and the only extant great ape in Asia. It is increasingly clear that orangutan populations show extensive variation in behavioural ecology, morphology, life history, and genes. Indeed, on the strength of the latest genetic and morphological evidence, it has been proposed that orangutans actually constitute two species which diverged more than a million years ago - one on the island of Sumatra the other on Borneo, with the latter comprising three subspecies. This book has two main aims. The first is to carefully compare data from every orangutan research site, examining the differences and similarities between orangutan species,...
Chatten im Netz
Sexualität@Internet: Täglich tummeln sich Tausende von deutschen Internetnutzern in Chaträumen. Ob und wie die Verbindung von Sexualität und World Wide Web funktioniert, wird in diesem Buch untersucht. Dazu muss zunächst definiert werden, was unsere Sexualität überhaupt kennzeichnet. Aus den Blickwinkeln der Sozialpsychologie, der Soziologie und der Medienwissenschaft heraus werden die Geschehnisse in den Chaträumen betrachtet. Sex via Tastatur und Monitor - ein Zeichen unserer gesellschaftlichen Verarmung?
Care Activism
Care activism challenges the stereotype of downtrodden migrant caregivers by showing that care workers have distinct ways of caring for themselves, for each other, and for the larger transnational community of care workers and their families. Ethel Tungohan illuminates how the goals and desires of migrant care worker activists goes beyond political considerations like policy changes and overturning power structures. Through practices of subversive friendships and being there for each other, care activism acts as an extension of the daily work that caregivers do, oftentimes also instilling practices of resistance and critical hope among care workers. At the same time, the communities created by care activism help migrant caregivers survive and even thrive in the face of arduous working and living conditions and the pains surrounding family separation. As Tungohan shows, care activism also unifies caregivers to resist society’s legal and economic devaluations of care and domestic work by reaffirming a belief that they, and what they do, are important and necessary.
Dacorah - Schwertzeit
"Totgeglaubte kämpfen länger" Der hochdekorierte Kriegsherr Lord Terek, der Sturm von Morgenrot, findet sich nach einem blutigen Hinterhalt halbtot auf einem Schlachtfeld in der Wüste wieder. Ihm wird von unerwarteter Seite geholfen. Er gesundet und gerät wider Willen in eine gnadenlose Odyssee, in deren Verlauf er nicht nur sein eigenes Leben verteidigen muss, sondern auch das Schicksal des Kontinents. Terek stößt dabei auf die größte Verschwörung in der Geschichte Dacorahs, mit dem Ziel der Erweckung eines uralten Unheils aus eisiger Vorzeit: einem leibhaftigen Erzdämonen und keinem Geringeren als dem Nagogh höchstselbst. Für Terek eine Ungeheuerlichkeit, denn er muss erkennen, dass die Verschwörer keine Unbekannten sind und das Vorhaben längst außer Kontrolle ist ... "... wenn der Kampf um die eigene Existenz zum Kampf um die Welt wird."
Sonic Ruins of Modernity
Sonic Ruins of Modernity shows how social, cultural and cognitive phenomena interact in the making and distribution of folksongs beyond their time. Through Judeo-Spanish (or Ladino) folksongs, the author illustrates a methodology for the interplay of individual memories, artistic initiatives, political and media policies, which ultimately shape “tradition” for the past century. He fleshes out in a series of case studies how folksongs can be conceived, performed and circulated in the post-tradition era – constituting each song as a “sonic ruin,” as an imagined place. At the same time, the book overall provides a unique perspective on the history of the Judeo-Spanish folksong.
