This book consists of 26 articles and introduces the reader to different fields, methods and aspects of life course and generation research. It is published on the occasion of Martin Kohl's 60th birthday and focuses on his research program. Most of the authors of the articles are
personally involved and committed to his research program. Despite some critical remarks mentioned in this review, altogether this book is enriching to the field. It is also appealing for nonexperts because even the basic concepts of life course research are discussed.

<div><p><em>Women in India are approximately about out half of the population, they have been the weakest of the weaker sections which have been the most exploited in every field and in all sectors .Women in have been the most abused and have been undergone a various types of hardships in their everyday life. Even though the government of India have been implemented some of policies implemented as their social security not many of them have come to reality. The women domestic workers in India are the unorganized group who strived to make their living without any life security and are in the vital situations in their social life. Over the last few years, studies on domestic life security in India have noted the increase in the numbers of migrant female domestic workers in the cities. They have also observed that domestic work is highly informal in its organization and tinted the vulnerabilities of domestic workers who belong to the poorer and uneducated sections of society. These studies also note that women from <strong>marginalized castes</strong> form a substantive group of domestic workers (Kaur 2006; Neetha 2004 and 2008). Domestic workers form a significant part of this informal economy which is unorganised. Despite the fact, domestic workers, constitute a crushing 90% of this unorganized labor force in India, they have always been <strong>marginalized</strong> as the unorganised sector. Whether they work part time, full day or as live in workers, they are forced to put up with various indignities, in the privacy of the households they work in. This part of my paper constitutes the study of Domestic workers in the Bangalore city is significant aspect due to its urban development process and women domestic have found to be the most wanted. Domestic workers, an estimated <strong>4 lakhs</strong> in <strong>Bangalore City</strong> work under illogical rules, are largely unskilled and illiterate. For years, women have been doing the drudgery of washing, cleaning, cooking and all menial tasks in other households for their own survival. Long hours of work, years of toil often with no living wage, no rest or recreation, sexual harassment, abuse of their dignity, untouchability, often treated callously are the story of their lives. The conditions of lakhs of child women domestic workers, the 24 hours live in workers, are even more exploitative and obnoxious. There have been many cases of rape and murder, horror tales of children being beaten, locked in bathrooms, bitten and burnt by employers. In my paper I have highlight some of the vital incidents where women have been facing and also the government policies and programmes and polices in the women empowerment in the social sector.</em></p></div>

Eighteenth-century philosopher Edmund Burke wrote, deformity is opposed, not to beauty, but to the complete, common form. If one of the legs of a man be found shorter than the other, the man is deformed; because there is something wanting to complete the whole idea we form of a man . During the long eighteenth century, new ideas from aesthetics and the emerging scientific disciplines of physics, biology and zoology contributed to changing fundamental notions about human form, function and ability. The interrelated concepts of the natural and the beautiful coalesced into a hegemonic ideology of form, one which defined communal standards regarding which aspects of human appearance and ability would be considered typical and socially acceptable and which would not.An essential resource for researchers, scholars and students of history, literature, culture and education, A Cultural History of Disability in the Long Eighteenth Century explores such themes and topics as: atypical bodies; mobility impairment; chronic pain and illness; blindness; deafness; speech; learning difficulties; and mental health

We analysed whether care time, burden and range of caregiving tasks were associated with informal caregivers' subjective views of ageing (measured as attitudes towards own age (ATOA), subjective age (SA), and onset of old age (OOA)), and whether these associations differed as a function of the caregivers' age and gender. Adjusted cluster-robust fixed effects regression analyses were conducted with gender and age as moderators using data of informal caregivers (≥ 40 years) of the population-based German Ageing Survey (2014, 2017). All three aspect of care intensity were associated with changes in subjective views of ageing and this pattern was a function of the caregiver's age and gender. Care time was significantly associated with higher SA. Care tasks were significantly associated with more positive ATOA and earlier OOA. Age moderated the association between burden and ATOA, with older adults reporting more positive ATOA. Gender moderated the association between care time and ATOA; women reported less positive ATOA than men with increasing care time, but also felt subjectively younger than men with a broader range of care tasks. Age- and gender-stratified analysis indicated further differences. Our findings suggest to reduce care time, especially among older and female caregivers, to prevent a worsening of views of ageing, while being involved in a broad range of care tasks seems to (only) benefit female caregivers.

Ethics, Hunger and Globalization adds an ethics dimension to the debate and research about poverty, hunger, and globalization. Outstanding scholars and practitioners from several disciplines discuss what action is needed for ethics to play a bigger role in action by governments, civil society, and the private sector to reduce poverty and hunger within the context of globalization. The book concludes that much of the rhetoric by policy makers is not followed up with appropriate action, and discusses the role of ethics in attempts to match action with rhetoric. The book also concludes that a better understanding of the values underlying both public and private sector action towards the alleviation of poverty and hunger would lead to more enlightened policies and greater success in attempts to achieve the Millennium Development Goals. The interaction between ethical, economic, and policy aspects is discussed and scholars and experienced practitioners from several disciplines suggest how such integration may be promoted.

Ce mémoire traite du processus de création de Protopolis , une installation chorégraphique réalisée et présentée par l'artiste et chercheur, Ramon Lima, à la Maison de la Création et de l'Innovation, au sein de l'Université Grenoble-Alpes, en 2021. Réalisé dans un format de recherche en création, ce mémoire s'intéresse aux aspects méthodologiques de la création artistique qui se développe dans l'expérience avec le terrain, en se concentrant sur la perspective de l'interprète et créateur solo. Pour ce faire, le potentiel politique et artistique de la relation entre artiste et terrain est mis en avance, ainsi que la manière dont le vécu peut être à la fois sujet et véhicule de la conception de l'œuvre. La notion d'autotopobiographie, proposée par Jennifer Gonzales, est mise en avant dans cette étude afin de souligner le caractère biographique de cette démarche, mais aussi une façon d'envisager la création d'un espace comme une possible représentation de l'identité.

International audience ; In 2017, Jean-Claude Risset gave his archives to the PRISM's laboratory. Thereby the researchers' community will have soon at their disposal a fund, especially interdisciplinary art and science oriented. For the moment, the archives are divided into two main parts: one within scientific research and one within artistic creation activity. More specifically, Jean-Claude Risset's own story shaped major interdisciplinary orientations: first of all, his pioneering research at Bell Labs, then back to "french reality" (his half-failure with Ircam and his difficulties concerning Marseille-Luminy), afterwards his quest for solutions as a political lever, especially through the Art-Science-Technology's report in 1998, and finally his turning point with his CNRS 1998 Gold Medal, consequently increasing conferences and mostly concerts. In addition, the study of material aspects (sharing activities between the laboratory and his home, place and content of documentation, etc.) is also necessary to understand "Risset's practice" of interdisciplinary.

International audience ; Political Science works on decentralization in France show a progressive hybridization of local elected representatives (both notable and boss). This paper assumes that we must also focus on more symbolic aspects of the electoral mandate in its historical and emotional dimensions. Recent works suggest in this regard that beyond the French case, local political leaders now build a significant part of their legitimacy on their ability to embody mediator territory and telling its identity. ; Les recherches de science politique sur la décentralisation en France montrent une progressive hybridation du métier d'élu local (à la fois notable et entrepreneur). L'article fait l'hypothèse qu'il faut aussi s'intéresser aux facettes plus symboliques du mandat dans ses empreintes historiques et émotionnelles. Des travaux récents suggèrent à cet égard qu'au-delà du seul cas français, les leaders politiques locaux construisent dorénavant une part conséquente de leur légitimité sur leur capacité de médiateur pour incarner un territoire et raconter son identité.

In a response to Kung (1999), the capacity of his global ethic project to provide adequate agency for implementing global change is questioned. An overview of Kung's argument for a global ethic emphasizes his (1) assertion that political realism must be engaged, (2) desire to avoid extremist positions, (3) critique of Western post-WWI policies, (4) principles for a global ethic, & (5) vision of a future Europe that possesses a strong ethical foundation. The thought of Hans Jonas on the relationship between secularity & religion, the World Order Models Project's movement to create a culturally & ideologically diverse world order, & the Commission on Global Governance's project of identifying shared core values among various cultures are offered as alternatives to Kung's paradigm. Although several aspects of the global ethic project appear fruitful, several problems require attention, eg, the hegemonic geopolitical relationship between the US & other nations. J. W. Parker

Reflects on an event that happened in 1984 to the author, a black feminist living in the UK, to illuminate aspects of black female subjectivity. The event comprised a meeting between the author, age 14, & two police officers who made passing references to the author's color & the fact that she was not wearing shoes. When the author disavowed aboriginal status, it is suggested that she colluded in a situational disavowal of blackness. However, the fact that she was treated in a "winking" manner indicates that the register of gender was still operative in the confrontation. It is suggested that this incident illuminates the collision that often occurs between black & female identities for black women. Moreover, the incident might contribute to feminist theorizing by rendering the identificatory practices that constitute a subject's unstable identity at any given moment. It is concluded that this approach might move black & white feminists alike beyond essentialist notions of female identity. 14 References. D. Ryfe

This article presents conceptual results from the Interfaculty Research Cooperation "Religious Conflicts and Coping Strategies" at the University of Bern. Since 2018, researchers from various academic disciplines—theology, psychology, law, religious studies, social anthropology, jewish studies, islamic studies, political sciences, history, communication studies, philosophy, gender studies and german studies—have been comparatively investigating past and present conflicts with religious dimensions. Conflicts involving religion often intensify, elude resolution or lose their constructive and socializing potential, because strong emotional, factual and interpretive aspects are interwoven. Established strategies of conflict resolution therefore often reach their limits in such conflicts. We show that the concept of coping has the advantage of focusing on the process rather than on the resolution of conflicts. It does not aim at solving a conflict that may not be solved, but it aims at looking for ways to shape and manage conflicts with religious dimensions. Coping as a concept originates from psychologists, who describe individuals as active beings who are able to deal with stressful situations on emotional, factual and interpretative-evaluative levels. The different types of coping correlate with three essential dimensions of religion. Therefore, coping as a travelling concept can be particularly fruitful for the interdisciplinary study of conflicts with religious dimensions. It fosters a context-sensitive and differentiated analysis of the dynamics of religious conflicts and may therefore contribute to develop the approach of conflict transformation. First, this paper presents guiding questions for such a context-sensitive conflict analysis; second, it presents an analytical model that visualizes the relevant conflict factors, dimensions of religion and types of coping and facilitates questions about their interactions.
