"Jews and Urban Life recognizes that throughout their long history, Jews have often inhabited cities. The reality of this urban experience ranged from ghetto restrictions to robust participation in a range of civic and social activities. Essays in this collection present relevant examples from within the Jewish community itself, moving historically from the biblical period to the modern-day State of Israel. Taking a comparative approach while recognizing the particulars of individual instances, authors examine these phenomena from a wide variety of approaches, genres, and media. Interdisciplinary and accessibly written, the articles display a multitude of instances throughout history showing the range of Jewish life in urban settings"--

Wie kann die Arbeitsmarktpolitik Jugendliche beim Berufseinstieg unterstützen? Alban Knecht analysiert politische Diskurse und institutionelle Veränderungen der Beschäftigungsförderung benachteiligter Jugendlicher in Österreich vor dem Hintergrund der Ressourcentheorie. Er diskutiert die Einführung von Maßnahmen wie überbetrieblicher Lehre, Ausbildungsgarantie und Ausbildungspflicht und verdeutlicht dabei die Bedeutung sozialinvestiver, befähigungsorientierter, neoliberaler und rechtspopulistischer Leitbilder für die praktische Arbeit der Fachkräfte und die Jugendlichen

For a long time, Europe's colonizing powers justified their urge for expansion with the conviction that they were 'bringing civilization to territories where civilization was lacking.' This doctrine of white superiority and indigenous inferiority was accompanied by a boundless exploitation of local labor. Under colonial rule, the ideology that later became known as neoliberalism was free to subject labor to a capitalism tainted by racialized policies. This political economy has now become dominant in the Western world, too, and has reversed the trend towards equality. In Colonialism, Capitalism and Racism, Jan Breman shows how racial favoritism is no longer contained to 'faraway, indigenous peoples,' but has become a source of polarization within Western societies as well

"What happens to the colonized after colonial industries leave? Set in the cinchona plantations of India's Darjeeling Hills, Quinine's Remains chronicles the history and aftermath of quinine. Harvested from cinchona bark, quinine was malaria's only remedy until the twentieth-century advent of synthetic drugs, and it was vital to the expansion of the British Empire. Today, the cinchona plantations-and the fifty thousand people who call them home-remain, and their futures are unclear. The Indian government has threatened to privatize or shut down this seemingly obsolete and crumbling industry, but local communities, led by strident trade unions, have successfully resisted. Overgrown cinchona fields and shuttered quinine factories may appear the stuff of postcolonial and postindustrial ruination, but quinine's remains are not dead. Rather, they have become the birthplace of urgent political efforts to redefine land and life for the twenty-first century. Quinine's Remains offers a vivid historical and ethnographic portrait of what it means to forge life after empire"--

This book offers a comprehensive, timely, and theoretically rich reflection about the role of digital media in modern societies. Readers will get a captivating dose of top-notch communication research, covering diverse topics such as health communication, political communication, strategic communication, computational communication, or digital communication research methods. ,br>Overall, this book is a stellar demonstration of how the Amsterdam School of Communication Research (ASCoR) has significantly inspired, shaped, and advanced our field in the past 25 years. Although the topics in this book are diverse, they all share the typical "ASCoR style": Combining first-class advanced methodology with interdisciplinary, cutting-edge theorizing, trying to explain (and potentially solve) the pressing challenges that our digital societies are facing. As this impressive collection demonstrates, the footprint that ASCoR has left to our field is humongous, and it will certainly further increase in the next 25 years

"One of the most hotly debated issues in contemporary Muslim ethics is the status of women in Islamic law. While Muslim conservatives argue that gender-differentiated legal rulings reflect complementary gender roles, Muslim feminists argue that Islamic law has subordinated women and is thus in need of reform. The shared assumption on both sides, however, is that gender fundamentally shapes an individual's legal status. Beyond the Binary explores an expansive cross section of topics in ninth- to twelfth-century Hanafi legal thought--from sexual crimes to consent to marriage--to show that early Muslim jurists imagined a world built not on a binary distinction between male and female but on multiple intersecting hierarchies of gender, age, enslavement, lineage, class, and other social roles. Saadia Yacoob offers a restorative reading of Islamic law, arguing that its intersectional and relational understanding of legal personhood offers a productive space for Muslim feminists to move beyond critique and instead to think with and through the Islamic legal tradition"--

Mit dem Hinweisgeberschutzgesetz (HinSchG) hat der deutsche Gesetzgeber erstmals ein allgemeingültiges Gesetz geschaffen, das Pflichten und Vorgaben zur Einrichtung eines Hinweisgebersystems bzw. einer internen Meldestelle und von Meldekanälen regelt. Der Gesetzgeber kommt damit seiner Verpflichtung aus der sog. EU-Hinweisgeberschutz-Richtlinie (RL (EU) 2019/1937) nach und hat diese in deutsches Recht umgesetzt. Insbesondere Unternehmen mit in der Regel mindestens 50 Beschäftigten sind danach verpflichtet, eine interne Meldestelle und einen Kanal zur Meldung von Informationen über Verstöße einzurichten und zu betreiben. Die Funktion der internen Meldestelle kann durch sog. Meldestellenbeauftragte ausgeübt werden. Diese müssen diverse Anforderungen des Gesetzes erfüllen und zur Erfüllung der Aufgaben der internen Meldestelle entsprechend qualifiziert sein.Das vorliegende Werk gibt Meldestellenbeauftragten einen Überblick über die gesetzlichen Anforderungen des HinSchG, insbesondere an die interne Meldestelle, den vorzuhaltenden Meldekanal, das Verfahren nach Eingang einer Meldung und die zu ergreifenden Folgemaßnahmen. Ebenfalls betrachtet werden die in diesem Zusammenhang nicht zu unterschätzenden datenschutzrechtrechtlichen und arbeitsrechtsrechtlichen Implikationen. Dabei werden stets Praxishinweise zur Einrichtung eines Hinweisgebersystems sowie Umsetzung der gesetzlichen Anforderungen und deren Einhaltung gegeben
