Bernier reviews DEMOGRAPHIC CHANGE AND THE FAMILY IN JAPAN'S AGING SOCIETY edited by John W. Traphagan and John Knight.

Annemarie Schwarzenbach (1908-1942) teilt in ihrer Hinwendung zum feuilletonistischen und journalistischen Schreiben die literarischen Existenzbedingungen einer ganzen Generation von Grenzgängern zwischen Literatur und Journalismus, von Musil, Roth bis zu Kerr, Kisch, Toller und Benjamin. Sie akzentuiert dabei die Reportage als Medium der Fremderfahrung und führt sie gleichzeitig an ihren historischen Ursprung im Reisebericht zurück. Im vorliegenden Band werden Schwarzenbachs Fotoreportagen und Feuilletons erstmalig im medialen Kontext der Schweizer Zeitungen und Illustrierten der 1930er Jahre gezeigt.

A transformation of the politics of Catholicism worldwide has taken place. The final recognition of the modern principle of religious freedom at Vatican II, together with the assumption by the church of the modern doctrine of human rights, has altered the traditional dynamic of church state relations and the role of the church both nationally and transnationally.National churches no longer aspire to become state compulsory institutions. It is this voluntary "disestablishment" that has permitted the church to play a key role in recent transitions to democracy throughout the Catholic world. Simultaneously, the papacy has assumed the vacant role of spokesperson for humanity, for the sacred dignity of the human person, for world peace, and for a more fair division of labor and power in the world system.As the Catholic Church abandons the private sphere assigned to religion and enters the undifferentiated public sphere of civil society to take part in ongoing processes of normative contestation, a tension between catholic universality and Roman Catholic particularity becomes evident.

Analysiert werden die symbolischen Konzepte in Politik, Sozialhygiene und Bevölkerungswissenschaft in bezug auf die Flüchtlinge und Zuwanderer (Ostjuden) zu Beginn der Weimarer Republik. "Beim Blick auf Mediendiskurs und politische Reden fällt die bekannte Symbolik anonymer Massendynamik auf, die durch die Kombinatorik einen durchweg negativen Status erhält." Anhand ausgewählter Beispiele zur politischen Rhetorik läßt sich die eindeutige symbolische Entgegensetzung von "Wir" und "die Anderen" belegen. Neben der Symbolik ungeregelter massenhafter Bewegung (Fluten, Gewimmel) in Politikerreden werden Texte des Bevölkerungsswissenschaftlers Friedrich Burgdörfers analysiert. Als Beispiel einer diskursiven Intervention werden J. Roths journalistische Arbeiten als "Texte eines antimodernen Nomaden" vorgestellt. (DY)

"Diversity: A Key Idea for Business and Society introduces an idea that proliferates business and society, having been incorporated into mainstream theory and practice. Beyond this multidisciplinary setting, how diversity is defined, framed, managed, and regulated is also exposed to considerable social, economic, political and ideological interpretation and manipulation. This volume explores definitions of diversity, its various manifestations, and interdisciplinary influences that shape how diversity is researched. The text turns to workforce diversity as a particular case of diversity and explores antecedents, correlates, and consequences of workforce diversity. The author considers power, inequality, and intersectionality to illuminate the subject from the key manifestations, including class, gender, ethnicity, sexuality, and disability. With insights from an array of fields from economics, through management to biology, the author also highlights the various cases against diversity alongside analysis of how to navigate the diversity jungle in practice. This concise, authoritative book will be essential reading for students, researchers and reflective practitioners interested in workforce diversity as well as unique supplementary reading across the social sciences"--
