Junge Menschen ergreifen immer seltener eine Ausbildung in einem Betrieb; dadurch fehlen Fachkräfte und die betriebliche Nachfolge ist gefährdet. Die vorliegende Untersuchung will Hinweise beibringen, ob eine betriebliche Ausbildung überhaupt noch im Blickfeld junger Menschen liegt. Dazu werden historische Situationen einer betrieblichen Ausbildung sowie Situationen jugendlicher Lebenswelten unter dem Fokus der arbeitsweltbezogenen Sozialisation analysiert. Welche gesellschaftliche Aufgabe erfüllt eine betriebliche Ausbildung heute, welche erfüllte sie früher? Wie schätzen junge Menschen diese Aufgabe heute für ihren Lebensweg ein und welche Bedeutung hatte sie früher?

For the decade up to 2020, the Republic of Cyprus opened a route to naturalisation and citizenship by investment for non-nationals who wanted access to the EU – many of them wealthy Russians who had profited from the post-Soviet era. The magnitude of the phenomenon is staggering. Thousands of Russian, Chinese, and other investors became Cypriots by buying properties – and therefore passports – on the island. The 'EU passport' became the country's major export, and the city of Limassol changed dramatically to accommodate the skyscrapers ('passport towers') built on the seafront.This book shows how a national passport becomes a global commodity, and unpacks the complex implications on the ground and in the EU. It interrogates the golden passports' right of money (jus pecuniae), which complicates existing citizenship structures associated with ancestry and territory. Examining the mobility of international elites, the ethnography contributes an original angle to migration studies, as golden passports suggest that citizenship has become a tool for the mobility of the rich. Through close engagement with the situation in Cyprus, Passport island shows how the global market for passports is tied up with economic crises, migration, property, inequality, and European politics. The book argues that the commodification of citizenship represents a new form of offshoring by other means

The unknown history of economic conservatism in India after independenceNeoliberalism is routinely characterized as an antidemocratic, expert-driven project aimed at insulating markets from politics, devised in the North Atlantic and projected on the rest of the world. Revising this understanding, Toward a Free Economy shows how economic conservatism emerged and was disseminated in a postcolonial society consistent with the logic of democracy.Twelve years after the British left India, a Swatantra ( Freedom ) Party came to life. It encouraged Indians to break with the Indian National Congress Party, which spearheaded the anticolonial nationalist movement and now dominated Indian democracy. Rejecting Congress s heavy-industrial developmental state and the accompanying rhetoric of socialism, Swatantra promised free economy through its project of opposition politics.As it circulated across various genres, free economy took on meanings that varied by region and language, caste and class, and won diverse advocates. These articulations, informed by but distinct from neoliberalism, came chiefly from communities in southern and western India as they embraced new forms of entrepreneurial activity. At their core, they connoted anticommunism, unfettered private economic activity, decentralized development, and the defense of private property.Opposition politics encompassed ideas and practice. Swatantra s leaders imagined a conservative alternative to a progressive dominant party in a two-party system. They communicated ideas and mobilized people around such issues as inflation, taxation, and property. And they made creative use of India s institutions to bring checks and balances to the political system.Democracy s persistence in India is uncommon among postcolonial societies. By excavating a perspective of how Indians made and understood their own democracy and economy, Aditya Balasubramanian broadens our picture of neoliberalism, democracy, and the postcolonial world

"This book builds on scholarly work rooted in the social and cultural histories of education, self-organization, activist practices, performance, design, and artistic research, (at)tending to the ways that institutions are necessarily political and performed. By evoking the idea of performing institutions, it foregrounds different kinds of "actors" that engage with (re)imagining creative practices--social, artistic, and pedagogical--that critically interact with institutional frameworks and the broader local and global society of which these institutions are part. With an international range of case studies and critical reflections--from Denmark, Ireland, Finland, the United Kingdom, Canada, the United States, Chile, Asia, and Australasia--contributors show how they envision or pursue performing artistic, cultural, social, and educational practices as caring engagements with contested sites. They address the following questions: How do current institutions perform--academically, spatially, custodially, and structurally? How might we stay engaged with the ways that institutions are inherently contested sites, and what role do care, and counter-hegemonic practices play in rearticulating other ways of performing institutions, and how they perform on us? These are the questions central to this book as it stages a productive tension between two main themes: structures of care (instituting otherwise) and sites of contestations (desiring change)"--Back cover

In a culture that so often seems to shrink and flatten our vision, reducing the world to mere atoms and us to mere things, the arts can break our imaginations open. In conversation with multiple art forms, a world-renowned theologian helps us see this world and ourselves as infinitely richer than we could ever imagine: as created and redeemed by the inexhaustible love of God.

"This Palgrave Pivot offers new insights into leading Chicana writer Gloria Anzaldúa, investigating the dynamic composition of her texts, and situating her work in a larger hemispheric tendency of performativity emerging at the turn of the millennium. Presenting Anzaldúa as a quintessential figure of feminist and decolonial theory-making in the Americas, this book argues that the Chicana writer articulated her notions on fluctuations through 'performative concepts' which did not respect the borders of single texts or editions, but organically grew through them. The offered close readings of Anzaldúa's published works, drafts, and archive material demonstrate the constant changes and intertwined phases of her literary and conceptual production"--
