Schule, Berufswahl Und Geschlecht in Schweden
Beim Thema Gleichstellung und vorbildlicher Gleichstellungspolitik wird Schweden regelm ig als Vorbild genannt und erhielt sogar die Auszeichnung als gleichgestelltestes Land Europas. Als einer der wichtigsten Sozialisationsagenten wird der Schule in Schweden bei der Vorbereitung auf das Erwerbsleben und f r die Aufl sung des traditionellen Studien- und Berufswahlverhaltes eine wichtige Rolle beigemessen. Die Studien- und Berufsorientierung, kurz syo, die zu Beginn der 1970er an den schwedischen Grundschulen eingef hrt wurde, stellte das wichtigste Werkzeug f r diese Bestrebungen dar. Zahlreiche Untersuchungen zur Situation der Geschlechter auf dem schwedischen Arbeitsmark zeigen zwar, dass ...
Männlichkeiten im Wandel
In den letzten Jahren hat sich eine internationale Debatte zu ›Männern in Kitas‹ entwickelt. Irmgard Diewald geht der Frage nach, wie dabei - an der Schnittstelle von Politik und Wissenschaft - Geschlechterverhältnisse entlang eines Kontinuums zwischen naturalisiertem sowie (de-)konstruktivistischem Wissen von Geschlecht in Bewegung geraten. In einer ländervergleichenden Perspektive zwischen Deutschland und Schweden sowie anhand theoretischer Überlegungen, welche sich in der poststrukturalistischen feministischen Wohlfahrtsstaatsforschung verorten, zeigt sie, wie sich der Ruf nach (mehr) »Männern« zwischen arbeitsmarktpolitischen Anforderungen und gleichstellungspolitischen Bestrebungen bewegt.
Utopia and Terror in Contemporary American Fiction
This book examines the quest for/failure of Utopia across a range of contemporary American/transnational fictions in relation to terror and globalization through authors such as Susan Choi, André Dubus, Dalia Sofer, and John Updike. While recent critical thinkers have reengaged with Utopia, the possibility of terror — whether state or non-state, external or homegrown — shadows Utopian imaginings. Terror and Utopia are linked in fiction through the exploration of the commodification of affect, a phenomenon of a globalized world in which feelings are managed, homogenized across cultures, exaggerated, or expunged according to a dominant model. Narrative approaches to the terrorist offer a means to investigate the ways in which fiction can resist commodification of affect, and maintain a reasoned but imaginative vision of possibilities for human community. Newman explores topics such as the first American bestseller with a Muslim protagonist, the links between writer and terrorist, the work of Iranian-Jewish Americans, and the relation of race and religion to Utopian thought.
Going Beyond the Jesus Story
Who am I? Why am I? Where am I headed and where have I been? These are just some of the questions that concern the author of Going Beyond the Jesus Story, a book that ranges freely across complex and intriguing subject areas such as the nature of religious belief, contemplative and meditative experience, lucid dreaming, the role of feeling in our appreciation of reality, the inherently spiritual nature of asking questions, and our need to go beyond not only the Jesus story as it has come down to us, but also the ingrained notion that self is an ongoing, uninterrupted experience of the conscious mind that can be taken for granted. Directing our attention to the nature of attention itself, we ...
Gender
Gender exists in almost every society as a way of organizing its people. Gender is used to assign certain responsibilities, obligations, and privileges to some, and to deny them to others. In Gender: A World History, Susan Kingsley Kent tells the story of this seemingly simple but in fact quite complex concept. With historical perspective she critically examines our everyday understandings of women and men, masculinity and femininity, and sexual difference in general. Central to this account is the conviction that gender is neither natural nor innocent. What passes for masculinity and femininity in one society might not do so in another. Even the passing of time can change what gender looks ...
Nobility and Annihilation in Marguerite Porete's Mirror of Simple Souls
This first book-length study of Marguerite Porete's important mystical text, The Mirror of Simple Souls, examines Porete's esoteric and optimistic doctrine of annihilation—the complete transformative union of the soul into God—in its philosophical and historical contexts. Porete was burned at the stake as a relapsed heretic in 1310. Her theological treatise survived the flames, but it circulated anonymously or under male pseudonyms until 1946, and her message endures as testament to a distinctive form of medieval spirituality. Robinson begins by focusing on traditional speculations regarding the origin, nature, limitations, and destiny of humankind. She then examines Porete's work in its more immediate historical and literary contexts, focusing on the ways in which Porete conceptualizes and expresses her radical doctrine of annihilation through contemporary metaphors of lineage and nobility.
Sapeurs
British photographer Tariq Zaidi presents a fashion subculture of Kinshasa & Brazzaville: La Sape, Societe des Ambianceurs et des Personnes Elegantes. Its followers are known as 'Sapeurs' ('Sapeuses' for women). Most have ordinary day jobs as taxi-drivers, tailors and gardeners, but as soon as they clock off they transform themselves into debonair dandies. Sashaying through the streets they are treated like rock stars - turning heads, bringing 'joie de vivre' to their communities and defying their circumstances.
Ultra Sounds
Ultra Sounds is the first study of the Polish Radio Experimental Studio (PRES), an early 'laboratory' for the production of electronic and electro-acoustic music, and the first of its kind in the Eastern Bloc. This well illustrated book features essays by leading musicologists and architectural, art and film historians, as well as interviews with engineers who worked in the Studio and transcripts of historic lectures and broadcasts by key figures in its history. It offers a comprehensive account of the Studio in the context of the revival of modernist experiment in post-Stalinist Poland in the 1960s.
