Die Neurowissenschaften versprechen nicht zuletzt die Verbesserung der geistigen Eigenschaften gesunder Menschen - das sogenannte »Neuroenhancement«. Dieser Band gibt einen umfassenden Überblick über den Diskussionsstand in unterschiedlichen wissenschaftlichen Disziplinen. Die Beiträger_innen beschreiben nicht nur ein breites Spektrum unterschiedlicher Verfahren, sondern zeigen zudem, wie groß die Bandbreite an Zielen ist, die mit »Neuroenhancement« verknüpft werden: Geht es darum, geistig leistungsfähiger, moralischer oder kreativer zu werden? Oder wird letztlich nur der Druck auf das Individuum erhöht, besser, klüger und vielseitiger zu werden?

Der als Studientext konzipierte Band ist eine grundlegende Einführung in die Methodologie und Forschungspraxis qualitativer Sozialforschung. Zunächst wird das Spannungsverhältnis zwischen Praxisfeld, theoriegeleitetem Erkenntnisinteresse sowie methodischem Repertoire dargestellt. Daran anschließend erfolgt die fallbezogene Auseinandersetzung mit den Dimensionen der Generalisierbarkeit von Sozialforschungsergebnissen allgemein sowie mit der Verhältnissbestimmung von Theorie und Empirie am Beispiel der Theorie sozialer Systeme und der Theorie kommunikativen Handelns. Im Methoden/Praxisteil werden die derzeit wichtigsten Methoden qualitativer Sozialforschung methodisch erläutert und jeweils in Praxisbeispielen dargestellt: Das narrative Interview sowie die Konzepte und Verfahren sozialwissenschaftlicher Hermentik. Zahlreiche textbegleitende Übungsaufgaben (und Musterlösungen) sichern das Textverständnis ab und bieten Anregungen zur weitergehenden, selbstständigen Auseinandersetzung mit Theorie, Methodologie und Praxis qualitativer Sozialforschung.

How do contemporary generations come to terms with losses inflicted by imperialism, colonialism, and war that took place decades ago? How do descendants of perpetrators and victims establish new relations in today's globalized economy? With Inheritance of Loss, Yukiko Koga approaches these questions through the unique lens of inheritance, focusing on Northeast China, the former site of the Japanese Puppet State Manchukuo, where municipal governments now court Japanese as investors and tourists. As China transitions to a market-oriented society, this region is restoring long-neglected colonial-era structures to boost tourism and inviting former colonial industries to create special economic zones, while unexpectedly unearthing chemical weapons abandoned by the Japanese Imperial Army at the end of World War II. Inheritance of Loss ethnographically chronicles these sites of colonial inheritance tourist destinations, corporate zones, and mustard gas exposure sites to illustrate deeply entangled attempts by ordinary Chinese and Japanese to reckon with their shared yet contested pasts. In her explorations of everyday life and economy, Koga directs us to see how structures of violence and injustice that occurred after the demise of the Japanese Empire compound the losses that later generations must account for, and inevitably inherit

Westerners 'know' Palestine through images of war and people in immediate distress. Yet this focus has as its consequence that other, less spectacular stories of daily distress are rarely told. Those seldom noticed are the women behind the men who engage in armed resistance against the military occupation: wives of the Palestinian prisoners in Israeli detention and the widows of the martyrs. In Palestine, being related to a detainee serving a sentence for participation in the resistance activities against Israel is a source of pride. Consequently, the wives of detainees are expected to sustain these relationships through steadfast endurance, no matter the effects upon the marriage or family. Often people, media, and academic studies address the dramatic violence and direct affliction of the Palestinians. Lotte Buch Segal takes a different approach, and offers a glimpse of the lives, and the contradictory emotions, of the families of both detainees and martyrs through an in-depth ethnographic investigation.No Place for Grief asks us to think about what it means to grieve when that which is grieved does not lend itself to a language of loss and mourning. What does it mean to "endure" when ordinary life is engulfed by the emotional labor required to withstand the pressures placed on Palestinian families by sustained imprisonment and bereavement? Despite an elaborate repertoire of narrative styles, laments, poetry, and performance of bodily gestures through which mourning can be articulated, including the mourning tied to a political cause, Buch Segal contends that these forms of expression are inadequate to the sorrow endured by detainees' wives. No Place for Grief reveals a new language that describes the entanglement of absence and intimacy, endurance and everyday life, and advances an understanding of loss, mourning, and grief in contemporary Palestine.

While the Year of the Woman was being declared internationally in 1975, in Argentina, a wave of serious abuses of the human rights of women was getting underway. The intersectional investigation of the narrative of remembrance illuminates a dark chapter in the history of gender.
