Internal Diversity
This book explores the interrelation between diversity in migrants’ internal relations and their experience of inequality in local and global contexts. Taking the case of Hamburg-based Iranians, it traces evaluation processes in ties between professionals – artists and entrepreneurs – since the 1930s, examining migrants’ potential to act upon hierarchical structures. Building on long-term ethnographic fieldwork and archival work, the book centers on differentiation, combining a diversity study with a focus on locality, with a transnational migration study, analysing strategies of capital creation and anthropological value theory. The analysis of migrants’ agency tackles questions of independence and cooperation in kinship, associations, transnational entrepreneurship and cultural events within the context of the position of Germany and Iran in the global politico-economic landscape. This material will be of interest to scholars and students of anthropology, sociology, migration, urbanism and Iranian studies, as well as Iranian-Germans and those interested in the entanglement of global and local power relations.

Covid-19: Sinn in der Krise
Die Covid-19-Pandemie stellt Gewohnheiten und Sinnzusammenhänge der alltäglichen Lebenswelt vielfältig in Frage. Ordnungen von Solidarität und Vulnerabilität, Körper und Raum, Alltag und Ausnahme, Wissen und Wahrheit, Geschichte und Erinnerung sowie das Verständnis von Krise selbst werden neu verhandelt. Das Buch versammelt Beiträge aus dem gesamten Spektrum der Kultur- und Sozialwissenschaften, um diese Krise zu deuten: ihre Besonderheit und Vergleichbarkeit, ihre Widersprüchlichkeit und Strukturiertheit.
Die Gefühlsgemeinschaft der AfD
Wie gelingt es der AfD, dass sich deren Unterstützer*innen bei einer für viele Menschen abstoßenden Partei wohlfühlen? Florian Spissinger hat Vortragsveranstaltungen, Stammtische und Wahlkampfstände der AfD ethnografisch beobachtet und Gespräche vor Ort geführt. Sichtbar geworden ist eine neurechte Gefühlsgemeinschaft, an der kritische Einwände wirkungslos abprallen und für die sich die Ablehnung von Zuwanderung und Klimaschutz gut und clever anfühlt.

'Das ist so typisch persisch!'
In Folge der sich verändernden Zusammensetzung der Bevölkerung in Deutschland werden sich auch die gesellschaftlichen Narrative ändern, die zur Etablierung gesamtgesellschaftlicher Erinnerungen beitragen. Die neuen EinwanderInnen und jene, die mittlerweile in der vierten Generation in Deutschland leben, werden ihren Beitrag leisten zu einer gemeinsamen Erinnerungskultur, indem sie ihre eigenen Erinnerungen in diese hineintragen. Sie fördern damit die Multiperspektivität von Erinnerungskulturen. Eine dieser Perspektiven wird aufgezeigt im vorliegenden Band, in dem der Blick gerichtet ist auf die Lebensgestaltung von iranischen MigrantInnen der zweiten Generation im deutschen Kontext. Mit...

Superdiversity
Superdiversity explores processes of diversification and the complex, emergent social configurations that now supersede prior forms of diversity in societies around the world. Migration plays a key role in these processes, bringing changes not just in social, cultural, religious, and linguistic phenomena, but also in the ways that these phenomena combine with others like gender, age, and legal status. The concept of superdiversity has been adopted by scholars across the social sciences in order to address a variety of forms, modes, and outcomes of diversification. Central to this field is the relationship between social categorization and social organization, including stratification and ine...
