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 -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 -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 - Immigration is a persistent and complex phenomenon intertwined with geographical, political, societal, and economic challenges. The number of international migrants has been continually increasing over the past five decades. The contributors to this volume dedicated to Professor Rebeca Raijman address various types of migrants like economic or labour migrants, forced migration and ethnic migrants. Implementing both qualitative and quantitative data and analyses, they provide insight on why individuals decide to migrate, how their decisions affect their own lives and the lives of their offspring, and how immigrants affect the receiving societies they arrive in.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware -Die Folgen des Klimawandels sind nicht mehr zu übersehen - und in Europa hält sich hartnäckig die Angst, dass seine verheerenden Auswirkungen in naher Zukunft eine gigantische Flüchtlingswelle anstoßen werden. Aber was wissen wir wirklich über die Auswirkungen der Erderwärmung auf Flucht und Migration Benjamin Schraven erläutert, warum europäische Befürchtungen vor Millionen von »Klimaflüchtlingen« aus Teilen Afrikas oder Asiens viel mehr einer verzerrten Wahrnehmung als einer tatsächlichen Problemanalyse entspringen. Er stellt jedoch klar: Die Klimamigration ist ein virulentes Thema, mit dem Politik, Gesellschaft und Medien einen anderen Umgang finden müssen. 176 pp. Deutsch.…
