As such, the history of communication cuts across s

Main description: Spätestens seit Garlands »Culture of Control« wird die Frage gestellt, ob und wie die Kriminalpolitik »das Opfer« benutzt, um dem Strafrecht punitive Züge zu geben. Der Verdacht, dass das Opfer als Vehikel des »Penal Populism« diene, besteht auch mit Blick auf den expandierenden strafprozessualen Opferschutz in Deutschland. Ralf Kölbel und Lena Bork zeigen nach der bisher umfassendsten Sekundäranalyse auf, dass die »Gefahr sekundärer Viktimisierung« im rechtspolitischen Diskurs seit 30 Jahren als eine Legitimationsfigur fungiert, die keine wissenschaftliche Grundlage hat. Dennoch ergibt eine Rekonstruktion der wesentlichen Gesetzgebungsvorgänge nur wenig Hinweise auf eine Opferinstrumentalisierung. Die viktimologische Wende im Strafprozess erscheint eher als sozialstaatliches Projekt, das sich aber von seiner empirischen Basis verselbstständigt hat und deshalb gleichermaßen untersuchungs- und hinterfragungsbedürftig ist. Hierfür entwickeln die Autoren abschließend einen konzeptionellen Rahmen.

This book explores the culture of indigenous peoples in Latin America, the fundamental challenges they offer to traditional Euro-American notions of democracy, citizenship and develop the interface of these topics. It also explores the relevant themes on human rights and the environment, with questions of security and the risks implicit in the adoption of ethnonationalist dogma. Peoples of the Earth does this, using a cross-disciplinary approach that employs anthropology, history, political science, legal theory and ethno-nationalism

Designed for undergraduate and graduate study, this anthology provides a history of the systemization and canonization of existentialism, a quintessentially antisystemic mode of thought. Situating existentialism within the history of ideas, it features new readings on the most influential works in the existential canon, exploring their formative contexts and the cultural dialogue of which they were part. Emphasizing the multidisciplinary and global nature of existential arguments, chosen texts relate to philosophy, religion, literature, theater, and culture and reflect European, Ru

For decades, most American Indians have lived in cities, not on reservations or in rural areas. Still, scholars, policymakers, and popular culture often regard Indians first as reservation peoples, living apart from non-Native Americans. In this book, Nicolas Rosenthal reorients our understanding of the experience of American Indians by tracing their migration to cities, exploring the formation of urban Indian communities, and delving into the shifting relationships between reservations and urban areas from the early twentieth century to the present

"This book analyzes the development of indigenous religious, commercial, and political institutions among the Oromo mainly during the relatively peaceful two centuries in its history, from 1704 to 1882. The largest ethnic group in East Africa, the Oromo promoted peace, cultural assimilation, and ethnic integration. This period witnessed flourishing commerce and communication networks that promoted the maturation of Oromo law and government, the integration of foreign ideas, and the assimilation into Oromo of various other cultures"--Provided by publisher

This book presents the regenerative leadership framework that has emerged from doctoral research and consulting work with successful sustainability leaders and their organizations in business, education, and community. The framework synthesizes the levels of awareness, the leadership styles and behaviours, and the organizational arrangements that correlate most significantly across these domains. Most importantly, the overwhelming majority of the leaders in this work agree that individual and collective consciousness development is critical to transforming the culture of organizations for s.

This book offers a critical, empirically-grounded and contemporary account of how advertisers and agencies are dealing with a volatile mediascape throughout the world, taking a region-by-region approach. It provides a clear, systematic, and synoptic analysis of the dynamic relationship between media, advertisers, and agencies in the age of globalization, and in an era of transition from 'mass' to 'social' media. Advertising attracts much public criticism for the commercialization of culture and its apparent impact on social and personal life.
