"Exploring the darkest side of organizations may have a potential to change our previous assumptions about business life. Scholars both in management and organizational research fields have shown interest in the "bright" side of behavioral life and have looked for the ways to create a positive organizational climate and assumed a positive relation between happiness of employees and productivity. These main assumptions of the Human Relations School have dominated the scientific inquiry on organizational behavior. However, "the dark side of organizational life" may have more explanatory power than "the bright side". Hostility, jealousy, envy, rivalry, gossip, problematic personalities, dislike, revenge, and social exclusion are the realities of business life. A manager may devote most of their time to cope with conflicts, deviant behaviors, ambitious individuals, gossips, and dysfunctional rivalry among employees. It is evident that negative events and interactions among employees cost more time and energy for a manager than the positive side of organizational life. This edited collection specifically focuses on these issues and will be of interest to researchers, academics, and advanced students in the fields of management, organizational studies and behavior, sociology, social psychology, and human resource management"--

"What becomes of men the US locks up and kicks out? From 2009 to 2020, the US deported more than five million people-over 90 percent of them men. Banished Men tells 186 of their stories. How, it asks, does forced expulsion shape men's lives and sense of themselves? In this book, a team of thirty-one Latinx students and an award-winning scholar of gender and migrant exclusion uncover a harrowing system that weaves together policing, prison, detention, removal, and border militarization-and overwhelmingly targets men. Guards and gangs beat them down, both literally and metaphorically, as if they are no more than vermin or livestock. Their ties with family are severed. In Mexico, they end up banished: in limbo and stripped of humanity. They do not go "home." Their fight for new ways of belonging, as people of both "here" and "there," forms a devastating, humane, and clear-eyed critique of the violence of deportation"--

In dieser Arbeit geht es um den Vergleich von zwei unterschiedlichen Rechtssystemen: dem traditionellen Kanun bei den Albanern und dem modernen staatlichen Recht. Diese werden von Seiten zwei verschiedener Rechtsgebiete (dem zivil- und strafrechtlichen Bereich) in Albanien und im Kosovo behandelt. Das Strafrecht dient dabei dem Schutz von Rechtsgütern und kann im Kanun ebenso nach einem Ausgleich für eine Rechtsverletzung zwischen Privaten suchen (entweder Blutrache und oder Wiedergutmachung des Schadens). Hierbei werden passende Beispiele aus der Literatur, aus staatlichen Gerichten und aus Interviews mit außergerichtlichen Konfliktschlichtern und Ältesten angeführt. Des Weiteren werden die Mechanismen der außergerichtlichen Konfliktschlichtung dargestellt, wie sie in der Lebenspraxis angewandt sind, wie weit sie erfolgreich waren und ob sie es noch heutzutage sind. Dr. Islam Qerimi, LL.M., geboren 1967 in Dumnica e Poshtme (Kosovo), schloss sein Diplomstudium der Rechtswissenschaften an der Universität von Prishtina, sein Magisterstudium der Rechtswissenschaften an der Ruhr-Universität Bochum und sein Doktoratsstudium an der Rechtswissenschaftlichen Fakultät der Universität Wien erfolgreich ab. Außerdem hat er eine Ausbildung zum Mediator und systemischen Coach am Radius Institut für Kommunikation und Konfliktmanagement Lübeck erfolgreich absolviert. Bereits während der Tätigkeit des Dozenten im Kosovo sammelte der Autor umfassende theoretische und praktische Erfahrungen im Gewohnheitsrecht der Albaner. Fasziniert vom albanischen Gewohnheitsrecht und den Kanunen hielt sich der Autor mehrmals in Albanien auf, um die Besonderheiten des Kanun als Primärquelle des albanischen Gewohnheitsrechts kennenzulernen. Seine alltägliche Wahrnehmung in der Jugendzeit mit verschiedenen Aspekten des albanischen Gewohnheitsrechts motivierte ihn, sich der Thematik des vorliegenden Buches näher zu widmen.

"Epidemics have constituted a problem for humanity throughout history because they not only affect the individuals they infect, but the entire society in many ways. In fact, the plague epidemic, which started in 1347 and called the Black Death, caused the death of millions of people and it became the biggest fear of the society by deeply affecting the society in a psychological way. Black Death has been the greatest threat for humanity, causing the death of about 40% of European population. As a result the worlds' social structure has changed completely. Even after these events were resolved, its impact on people continued for a long period of time. Before and after the epidemic, the transition from grain to livestock, from economic consumption to luxury consumption, especially with regards to food consumption in Europe, and the food prescriptions used to prevent the epidemic underline the importance of gastronomy for humanity even in this tragic period"--

Anti-capitalist political struggle is a site of struggling psychologies. Conscious political action is never far from unconscious desire, and the fight for material justice is always also the fight for dignity and psychological well-being. Yet, how might community psychologists conceive of their discipline in a way that opposes the very capitalist political economy that, historically, most of the psy-disciplines have bolstered in return for disciplinary legitimacy? In its consideration of an anti-capitalist psychology of community, this book does not ignore or try to resolve the contradictory position of such a psychology. Instead, it draws on these contradictions to enliven psychology to the shifting demands - both creative and destructive - of a community-centred anti-capitalism. Using practical examples, the book deals with the psychological components of building community-centred social movements that challenge neoliberal capitalism as a political system, an ideology, and a mode of governing rationality. The book also offers several theoretical contributions that grapple with how an anti-capitalist psychology of community can remain attentive to the psychological elements of anti-capitalist struggle; what the psychological can tell us about anti-capitalist politics; and how these politics can shape the psychological

"This book demonstrates how decolonial theory and critical race theory can be used together to better explain global social problems than either could alone. It applies them in combination to theorize capital accumulation, the rise of right-wing populist nationalism, the COVID pandemic, and the climate crisis"--

"The book explores the impact of manuscript remarks during the year 1929 on the development of Wittgenstein's thought. Although its intention is to put the focus specifically on the manuscripts, the book is not purely exegetical. The contributors generate important new insights for understanding Wittgenstein's philosophy and his place in the history of analytic philosophy. Wittgenstein's writings from the years 1929-1930 are valuable, not simply because they marked Wittgenstein's return to academic philosophy after a seven-year absence, but because these works indicate several changes in his philosophical thinking. The chapters in this volume clarify the significance of Wittgenstein's return to philosophy in 1929. In Part 1, the contributors address different issues in the philosophy of mathematics, e.g. Wittgenstein's understanding of certain aspects of intuitionism and his commitment to verificationism, as well as his idea of "a new system". Part 2 examines Wittgenstein's philosophical development and his understanding of philosophical method. Here the contributors examine particular problems Wittgenstein dealt with in 1929, e.g. the colour-exclusion problem, and the use of thought experiments as well as his relationship to Frank Ramsey and philosophical pragmatism. Part 3 features essays on phenomenological language. These chapters address the role of spatial analogies and the structure of visual space. Finally, Part 4 includes one chapter on Wittgenstein's few manuscript remarks about ethics and religion and relates it to his Lecture on Ethics. Wittgenstein's Philosophy in 1929 will be of great interest to scholars and advanced students working on Wittgenstein and the history of analytic philosophy"--
