Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -This volume is a response to the growing need for new methodological approaches to the rapidly changing landscape of new forms of performative practices. The authors address a host of contemporary phenomena situated at the crossroads between science and fiction which employ various media and merge live participation with mediated hybrid experiences at both affective and cognitive level. All essays collected here move across disciplinary divisions in order to provide an account of these new tendencies, thus providing food for thought for a wide readership ranging from performative studies to the social sciences, philosophy and cultural studies. 260 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Automated facial recognition algorithms are increasingly intervening in society. This book offers a unique analysis of these algorithms from a critical visual culture studies perspective. The first part of this study examines the example of an early facial recognition algorithm called »eigenface« and traces a history of the merging of statistics and vision. The second part addresses contemporary artistic engagements with facial recognition technology in the work of Thomas Ruff, Zach Blas, and Trevor Paglen. This book argues that we must take a closer look at the technology of automated facial recognition and claims that its forms of representation are embedded with visual politics. Even more significantly, this technology is redefining what it means to see and be seen in the contemporary world. 198 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -What are organizations Where do they come from How are they transformed and adapted to new situations In the digital age and in the global network society, traditional theories of the organization can no longer answer these questions. Based on actor-network theory, this book explains organizations as flexible, open networks in which both human and non-human actors enter into socio-technical assemblies by constantly negotiating and re-negotiating programs of action. Organizations are not macro social structures or autonomous systems operating behind the backs of individuals. Instead, they are scalable actor-networks guided by network norms of connectivity, flow, communication, participation, authenticity, and flexibility. 272 pp. Englisch. …

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Immanuel Wallerstein's world-systems theory can help to better understand and describe developments of the 21st century. The contributors address the possibilities to reread Wallerstein's theoretical thoughts and ideas that are related to different disciplines in the humanities and social sciences. The presented interdisciplinary approach of this anthology thereby intends to highlight the broader value of Wallerstein's ideas, even almost five decades after the famous sociologist and economic historian first expressed them.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -This collection investigates the concept of modernity in music and its multiple interpretations in Europe and East Asia. Through contributions by both European and East Asian musicologists it discusses how a decentered understanding of musical modernity could be matched on multiple historiographical perspectives while being attentive to the specificities of local music and their narratives in East Asia and Europe. The essays connect local, global and transnational history with sociological theories of modernity and modernization, making the volume an important contribution to overcoming the Eurocentric dichotomy between western music and world music within the field of historical musicology. 374 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - How do humans, their needs, and technology interact in society Marcel Siegler explores the dialectical relationship between human needs and desires, the demands and requirements of the built world, and the forms of organization that hold both humans and the built world together. He argues that complex societal constellations emerge from the actions individuals perform with the technological means at hand to satisfy their needs and desires in the short and long run. Based on a novel, complementary reading of French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre, the study develops a conceptual framework for analyzing the intricate machinations of sociotechnical systems from a perspective on situated human-technology interaction.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -In Bolivia's plurinational conjuncture, novel political articulations, legal reform, and processes of collective identification converge in unprecedented efforts to 're-found' the country and transform its society. This ethnography explores the experiences of Afrodescendants in plurinational Bolivia and offers a fresh perspective on the social and political transformations shaping the country as a whole. Moritz Heck analyzes Afrobolivian social and cultural practices at the intersections of local communities, politics, and the law, shedding light on novel articulations of Afrobolivianity and evolving processes of collective identification. This study also contributes to broader anthropological debates on blackness and indigeneity in Latin America by pointing out their conceptual entanglements and continuous interactions in political and social practice. 326 pp. Englisch.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Eltern geraten oft an die Grenzen ihrer Belastbarkeit: Kinder zu versorgen ist harte Arbeit, die zunehmend unter ungenügenden sozio-ökonomischen Rahmenbedingungen realisiert werden muss. Dennoch konzentrieren sich Wissenschaft und Politik in ihren Analysen immer noch auf die Erwerbsarbeit. Diese Studie ändert das: Wibke Derboven blickt unter arbeitssoziologischer Perspektive tief hinein in die Arbeit von Eltern verschiedenster gesellschaftlicher Bereiche. Ihre Ergebnisse zeigen ein gleichermaßen breites wie differenziertes Bild elterlicher Arbeitsweisen und machen deutlich: Eltern haben zum Teil höhere Anforderungen zu meistern als Erwerbsarbeitende der obersten Hierarchieebenen. 180 pp. Deutsch.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Bereits vor der Corona-Pandemie waren unterschiedliche gesellschaftliche Krisen auszumachen: Soziale Ungleichheiten, der aufkommende Rechtspopulismus und der menschengemachte Klimawandel stellen uns vor große Herausforderungen. Auch die Kulturinstitutionen bleiben von diesen Entwicklungen nicht unberührt. Neben einem Publikumsrückgang und Relevanzfragen gibt es zunehmend Kritik an veralteten Führungsstilen. Es scheint, als ob viele Einrichtungen dem Wandel gesellschaftlicher Erwartungen nicht mehr gerecht werden. Die Beiträger\*innen versammeln Stimmen von Menschen aus dem Kulturbereich, die schonungslos Bedarfe offenlegen - und damit für eine Kulturpolitik der Transformation werben. 240 pp. Deutsch.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Focusing on a private collection of 60 postcards of modern architecture in Mumbai, New Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai and Agra, the contributors to this volume explore the many dimensions of modern architecture in India from the 1890s to the 1970s and share their own perspective on these objects.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - The romance of extraction underlies and partly defines Western modernity and our cultural imaginaries. Combining affect studies and environmental humanities, this volume analyzes societies' devotion to extraction and fossil resources. This devotion is shaped by a nostalgic view on settler colonialism as well as by contemporary »affective economies« (Sara Ahmed). The contributors examine the links between forms of extractivism and gendered discourses of sentimentality and the ways in which cultural narratives and practices deploy the sentimental mode (in plots of attachment, sacrifice, and suffering) to promote or challenge extractivism.…
