Aushandlungen städtischer Größe
Wissenschaftlich wie gesellschaftlich hat das Thema Stadt anhaltend Konjunktur. Bei genauerem Blick sind es allerdings fast ausschließlich Großstädte bzw. Metropolen der nördlichen Hemisphäre, die im Fokus von Wissenschaft, Gesellschaft und Politik stehen und als paradigmatische Beispiele urbanen Lebens fungieren. Kleinere Städte kommen demgegenüber weniger und schon gar nicht als Beispiele für Urbanität in den Sinn. Der vorliegende Band korrigiert diese Schieflage und bietet als Ergebnis eines ethnographischen Forschungsprojektes umfassende Einblicke in Aushandlungen städtischer Größe – exemplarisch am Beispiel der Städte Hildesheim in Niedersachsen und Wels in Oberösterreich.
Literary Translation, Reception, and Transfer
The three concepts mentioned in the title of this volume imply the contact between two or more literary phenomena; they are based on similarities that are related to a form of ‘travelling’ and imitation or adaptation of entire texts, genres, forms or contents. Transfer comprises all sorts of ‘travelling’, with translation as a major instrument of transferring literature across linguistic and cultural barriers. Transfer aims at the process of communication, starting with the source product and its cultural context and then highlighting the mediation by certain agents and institutions to end up with inclusion in the target culture. Reception lays its focus on the receiving culture, esp...
Cultural Transfer and Political Conflicts
Film festivals during the Cold War were fraught with the political and social tensions that dominated the world at the time. While film was becoming an increasingly powerful medium, the European festivals in particular established themselves as showcases for filmmakers and their perceptions of reality. At the same time, their prestigious, international character attracted the interest of states and private players. The history of these festivals thus sheds light not only on the films they made available to various publics, but on the cultural policies and political processes that informed their operations. Presenting new research by an international group of younger scholars, Cultural Transfer and Political Conflicts critically investigates postwar history in the context of film festivals reconstructing not only their social background and international dispensation, but also their centrality for cultural transfers between the East, the West and the South during the Cold War.
Making Kin Not Population
As the planet's human numbers grow and environmental concerns proliferate, natural scientists, economists, and policy-makers are increasingly turning to new and old questions about families and kinship as matters of concern. From government programs designed to fight declining birth rates in Europe and East Asia, to controversial policies seeking to curb population growth in countries where birth rates remain high, to increasing income inequality transnationally, issues of reproduction introduce new and complicated moral and political quandaries. Making Kin Not Population ends the silence on these issues with essays from leading anti-racist, ecologically-concerned, feminist scholars. Though not always in accord, these contributors provide bold analyses of complex issues of intimacy and kinship, from reproductive justice to environmental justice, and from human and nonhuman genocides to new practices for making families and kin. This timely work offers vital proposals for forging innovative personal and public connections in the contemporary world.
