Something for Everyone?

The urban population is becoming increasingly diverse and growing (ethnic) diversity is having a singular effect on nightlife in Dutch cities. By studying the motivation behind and nightlife choices of the young people who participate in ethno-party scenes, Boogaarts-de Bruin investigates how the changing urban population affects the supply side of the nightlife market using an analytical model she has developed and which she calls the model of structured choice. This approach is sensitive to the flexible use of the processes of agency and structure due to the systematic distinction that it makes between societal and personal factors. Accordingly, it is revealed that in order to analyze and ...

  • Publisher: Routledge

Providing an inclusive, yet multi- layered perspective on leisure cultures in dynamic hegemonic, subcultural, and countercultural communities, this volume investigates the disciplinary and interdisciplinary aspects of leisure studies in the age of mass migration, nationalism, cultural wars, and conflicted societies in Israel. Israeli society has struggled with complicated geopolitical, intercultural, economic, and security conditions since the establishment of the State of Israel. Consequently, the emergent leisure cultures in Israel are vibrant, diversified, exuberant, and multifaceted, oscillating between Western and Middle Eastern tendencies. The chapters in this edited volume reflect dra...

D.I.S.C.O. cool - chic - crazy

Der gleichnamige Katalog zur Ausstellung D.I.S.C.O. cool - chic - crazy des rock'n'popmuseums beleuchtet unterschiedliche Facetten des vielfältigen und seit rund 70 Jahren existierenden Phänomens Disco, das seine weltweite Hochphase mit dem entsprechenden Sound in den 1970er-Jahren hatte. Informieren einige der versammelten Beiträge über nahe liegende Aspekte wie den spezifischen Discosound, die sich wandelnde Funktion des DJs und die Entwicklung des Tanzgeschehens, widmen andere sich eher selten beleuchteten. Dazu zählen u.a. die während der Hochphase getragene Mode, die popkulturellen Bedeutungen von Disco, das dahinterliegende Geschäftsmodell und die historischen Vorläufer der Diskothekeninnenarchitektur. Ergänzt werden diese Artikel durch die detaillierte Beschreibung der Translozierung einer ehemaligen Landdiskothek in ein Freilichtmuseum sowie Interviews mit derzeit tätigen Club- und Diskothekenbetreibern, die zeigen, dass Disco einerseits längst historisches Kulturgut ist, andererseits 'samstagnachts' stets neu erlebt wird.

Speaking in Tongues

Sag mir, was du singst, und ich sag dir, wer du bist! Sprache und Musik sind wichtige Zeichen für Identität. Mit einem Lied kann man Zugehörigkeit, aber auch Abgrenzung symbolisieren: Migranten hören und machen Musik, die ihnen ein Gefühl von Heimat vermittelt. Lokale Musikszenen pflegen die regionalen Merkmale in ihren Songs, aber auch internationale Stars vermarkten sich mit Zeichen ihrer Herkunft. Angesichts der fortgeschrittenen Globalisierung des Musikmarkts gewinnt das Regionale in der populären Musik zunehmend an Bedeutung. Das Buch beschreibt am Beispiel verschiedener Musikkulturen und -szenen sowie aus der Perspektive verschiedener wissenschaftlicher Disziplinen die vielfältigen Prozesse der Identitätsbildung in der post-migrantischen Gesellschaft und die vielfältigen Spannungen zwischen regionalem Denken und einer nicht zuletzt ökonomisch globalisierten Welt.

Beguinages ('begijnhoven') are unique to the Low Countries. Originally, beguine communities were disseminated over a large area comprising the northern and southern Low Countries, northern France, and parts of present-day Germany and Switzerland. The typical 'court' beguinages, however, are represented most strongly in the southern Low Countries, where a considerable number of them still exist. On account of their historical, architectural, and socio-religious value, a selection of thirteen beguinages was recognized as World Heritage by Unesco in 1998. Only recently, research has paid closer attention to the material culture of beguinage life, including literacy and book culture among beguin...
