Dwindling fish stocks, changing markets and often ill-advised government intervention have affected the lives of Dutch fishermen for decades. The author of this study has spent years among the fishermen of the Dutch island of Texel, and this book records the changes in their working lives, tracking the influence of national and international factors on the social and cultural structures of the community.
Der aktuelle Transformationsprozess von Wissenschaft und Gesellschaft stellt die akademischen Disziplinen vor die Herausforderung, ihr Wissen hinsichtlich seiner gesellschaftlichen Funktion und Autorität neu zu überdenken. Vor dieser Aufgabe stehen auch die Kulturwissenschaften, deren Profil und Position in den letzten Jahren viel diskutiert wurde. Dieses Buch nähert sich der diskursiven Praxis am Beispiel des Faches Volkskunde/Europäische Ethnologie mit dreifachem Blick: auf den Entwurf von "Kultur", die fachliche Episteme und die Identitätspolitik. Daraus ersteht die kritische Diagnose gesellschaftlicher Selbstbeschreibung, die in Form kulturwissenschaftlichen Wissens gleichzeitig mit den Interpretationen anderer sozialer Deutungsautoritäten konkurriert.
Wie verlaufen die Argumentationsmuster in Völkerkundemuseen und den Wissenschaften der Völkerkunde sowie der Anthropologie zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts? Das Buch versucht, dieser Frage an zwei Fallbeispielen nachzugehen, indem der theoretische Diskurs der Sammlungs-, Ausstellungs-, Lehr- und Forschungspraxis gegenübergestellt wird. Der identifizierte Wandel von einem "Kultur"- hin zu einem "Rasse"-Begriff sowie der Perspektivenwechsel von Objekten hin zu Körpern wird dabei in einem breiten kolonialen Kontext interpretiert - über ein tradiertes Epochenverständnis hinaus. Dadurch werden Kontinuitäten und Brüche präziser erkennbar als bislang üblich.
'Jihad' is a highly charged word. Often mistranslated as 'Holy War', it has become synonymous with terrorism. Current political events have entirely failed to take account of the subtlety and complexity of jihad. Like many concepts with a long history, different cultural ideas have influenced the religious aspects of jihad. As a result its original meaning has been adapted, modified and destabilized - never more than at the present time. How does jihad manifest itself in Muslims' everyday lives? What impact has 9/11 and its backlash had on jihad? By observing the current crisis of identity among ordinary Muslims, this timely book explores why, and in what circumstances Muslims speak of jihad. In the end, jihad is what Muslims say it is. Marranci offers us a nuanced and sophisticated anthropological understanding of Muslims' lives far beyond the predictable cliches. Have a look at the author's blog (http://marranci.wordpress.com.

In the Ngaanyatjarra Lands of desert Western Australia, older people are being encouraged to participate meaningfully in student education. This initiative is being led by two of the authors of this article, senior Ngaanyatjarra women, both of whom work with the Ngaanyatjarra Lands School with its campuses in eight remote communities spread over hundreds of kilometres. Elderly men and women, some of whom are residents in the Ngaanyatjarra Aged Care home (Ngaanyatjarra Health Service, 2021), are eagerly participating in the planning of bush trips, gathering their traditional resources, seeds, grinding stones, bush resins, recalling stories, songs, and dances - as they prepare for the bush camps with students. During the camps the schoolteachers step back and the elderly lead in what is known as two‐way science. At first glance, this work may look like it is simply focused on the educational needs of students with senior Yarnangu acting in a supporting role. However, this article will demonstrate the continuous connections and responsibilities, laid out in the Tjukurrpa (the Dreaming), between the old and the young, to their ancestral lands. It sets out how according to "Tjukurrpa thinking," the principal way to provide good care is by helping senior people remain on country with family, pass on their knowledge to younger people, and thus keep strong languages and kurrunpa (people's spirit) alive.
Eine Besonderheit der spanischen Kolonialherrschaft ist das explizite Verbot für "Ausländer", nach Amerika zu reisen oder sich dort anzusiedeln. Dennoch lebten viele Immigranten englischer, portugiesischer, italienischer oder französischer Herkunft in den hispano-amerikanischen Kolonien. Diese "extranjeros", deren Ausweisung zwar oft angeordnet, aber selten praktiziert wurde, stehen im Zentrum der Studie. Martin Biersack geht dem widersprüchlichen und oft spannungsreichen Verhältnis von "Spaniern" und "Ausländern", Norm und Praxis, Duldung und Ausweisung nach und kann so erklären, wie und warum die Integration nichtspanischer Immigranten in die vormoderne koloniale Gesellschaft gelang, obwohl sie formal von dieser ausgeschlossen waren. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/4.0
