Eine Inklusion, die auf bedarfsgerechte Teilhabe am Niedriglohnsektor abzielt, steht im Kontrast zu den sozialen Interessen von Menschen mit Behinderung auf der Suche nach guter Arbeit. Andrea Fischer-Tahir setzt die Themen Behinderung, Digitalisierung und Arbeit in Bezug zueinander, ermittelt den Gebrauchswert assistiver Technologie und spürt den Rekonfigurationen von Lebensentwürfen nach. Anhand von Interviews und Fokusgruppen untersucht sie aus der Perspektive kritischer Sozialtheorie Möglichkeiten und Grenzen des digitalen Kapitalismus für Sehbehinderte und rekonstruiert Erfahrungen von Exklusion im beruflichen Feld sowie Machtverhältnisse in Inklusionsmaßnahmen

This article examines aspects of the entanglement of (social) science, politics and media in Iraqi Kurdistan and investigates their representation in Kurdish newspapers, taking a quantitative study on genocidal persecution published by a Kurdistan government ministry as an example. It demonstrates how one and the same corpus of science-based ideas is appropriated and operationalised according to very different political agendas, and how the media itself conveys certain beliefs on the measurability of social experience and the truth value of science-based knowledge. Drawing on the broad debate in social science and the humanities on knowledge and the capitalist society, this article discusses aspects of the scientification of media and the politicisation of academic knowledge production. Berpêşkirina rastiyên li ser bingehên zanistiyê wekî nûçe: hilberana zanyariyê û medya li Kurdistana IraqêEv gotar astengên li ber zanyariya civakî, siyasî û medyayê li Kurdistana Iraqê û pêşkeşkirina wan di rojnameyên Kurdî da vedikole.

In 1988 the Iraqi regime launched the Anfal campaigns against the Kurdish peshmerga and their civil supporters in the rural areas. This article investigates narrations about Anfal constructed by peshmerga ten years after the events. It compares the memoirs of a leading commander published in Kurdistan with the biographical interview of a lower-ranking peshmerga conducted by myself for "Western" academic purpose. In so doing, the article highlights differences in dealing with the experience of defeat and harmed masculinity, which result from the situatedness of memory production. Left a vague topic in the 1990s, Anfal has become broadly discussed since the destruction of the former regime in 2003. By means of scientific concepts, academics and non-academics, among them former peshmerga, explain Anfal as an inescapable genocide that aimed to destroy the Kurds, suggesting that there is no need to remember defeat and harmed masculinity.

Seit 2003 erlebt der Irak eine politische und gesellschaftliche Neuordnung. Medien reflektieren diesen Prozess und wirken auf ihn ein, unter anderen dadurch, dass sie Vorstellungen von Identität und Ordnungsmodelle vermitteln. (APUZ)

Wie auch andere Weltregionen wird der "Nahe Osten und Nordafrika" oftmals als eindeutig definierter, geschlossener und weitgehend homogener Raum betrachtet. Jedoch handelt es sich hier ebenfalls um eine Region, die ständigen Rekonfigurationen unterliegt und für die zudem eine Reihe von Bezeichnungen besteht. Zugleich entfalten sich wirtschaftliche, kulturelle, soziale und politische Verflechtungen und Austauschprozesse oftmals in völlig anderen regionalen Zusammenhängen, beispielsweise über den Indischen Ozean, die Sahara oder den Kaukasus hinweg, die quer zu verfestigten Raumvorstellungen liegen. Der Band wirbt für einen transregionalen Blick auf die Zirkulation von Gütern, Ideen und Menschen, ohne sich von etablierten Meta-Geographien begrenzen zu lassen. Damit positioniert er sich in kritischen Debatten um Raumproduktion und Area Studies und führt Forschung zusammen, die üblicherweise durch regional und disziplinär sortierte akademische Wissensproduktion getrennt ist.Mit Beiträgen vonDaniel C.

This volume looks at territories such as reservations, model villages and collective towns as the spatial materialization of forced assimilation and "progress". These disciplinary spaces were created in order to disempower and alter radically the behavior of people who were perceived as ill-suited "to fit" into hegemonic imaginations of "the nation" since the 19th century.Comparing examples from the Americas, Australia, North and East Africa, Central Europe as well as West and Central Asia, the book not only considers the acts and legitimizing narrations of ruling actors, but highlights the agency of the subaltern who are often misrepresented as passive victims of violent assimilation strategies.

Peripheries emerge as a result of shifts in economic and political decision-making at various scales. Therefore peripheral spaces are not a "natural" phenomenon but an outcome of the intrinsic logic of uneven geographical development in capitalist societies. Discussing examples from Germany, Eastern Europe, Turkey, Iraqi Kurdistan, Pakistan, India and Brazil, the volume describes the social production of peripheries from different theoretical and methodological perspectives. In so doing, it argues in favour of a re-politicization of the recent debate on peripheralization.
