Education, Space and Urban Planning: Education as a Component of the City
by Angela Million Anna Juliane Heinrich Thomas CoelenThis book examines a range of practical developments that are happening in education as conducted in urban settings across different scales. It contains insights that draw upon the fields of urban planning/urbanism, geography, architecture, education and pedagogy. It brings together current thinking and practical experience from German and international perspectives.This discussion is organised in four segments: schools and the neighbourhood; education and the neighbourhood; education and the city and finally, education and the region. Contributors cover a wide range of contemporary and significant socio-political aspects of education over the last decade. They reinforce emergent thinking that space and its urban context are important dimensions of education. This book also underscores the need for more research in the relationships between education and urban development itself. Current urban planning does not fully connect our understanding in education with what we know in the spatial and planning sciences. Accordingly, this release is an early attempt to bring together a growing body of integrated and interdisciplinary reflection on education theory and practice.
Educational Theatre for Women in Post-World War II Italy: A Stage of Their Own
by Daniela CavallaroThis book explores an important moment in Italian women’s theatre and cultural history: plays written for all-women casts between 1946 and the mid-1960s, authored for the most part by women and performed exclusively by women. Because they featured only female roles, they concentrated on aspects of specifically women’s experience, be it their spirituality, their future lives as wives and mothers, their present lives as workers or students, or their relationships with friends, sisters and mothers. Most often performed in a Catholic environment, they were meant to both entertain and educate, reflecting the specific issues that both performers and spectators had to confront in the years between the end of the war and the beginning of the economic miracle.Drawing on material never before researched, Educational Theatre for Women in Post-World War II Italy: A Stage of Their Own recovers the life and works of forgotten women playwrights while also discussing the role models that educational theatre offered to the young Italian women coming of age in the post-war years.
Edward Burnett Tylor, Religion and Culture
by Paul-François Tremlett Graham Harvey Liam T. SutherlandThrough revisiting and challenging what we think we know about the work of Edward Burnett Tylor, a founding figure of anthropology, this volume explores new connections and insights that link Tylor and his work to present concerns in new and important ways.At the publication of Primitive Culture in 1871, Tylor was at the centre of anthropological research on religion and culture, but today Tylor's position in the anthropological canon is rarely acknowledged. Edward Burnett Tylor, Religion and Culture does not claim to present a definitive, new Tylor. The old Tylor - the founder of British anthropology; the definer of religion; the intellectualist; the evolutionist; the liberal; the utilitarian; the avatar of white, Protestant rationalism; the Tylor of the canon - remains. Part I explore debates and contexts of Tylor's lifetime, while the chapters in Part II explore a series of new Tylors, including Tylor the ethnographer and Tylor the Spiritualist, re-writing the legacy of the founder of anthropology in the process.Edward Burnett Tylor, Religion and Culture is essential reading for anyone interested in the study of religion and the anthropology of religion.
Edward Said's Concept of Exile: Identity and Cultural Migration in the Middle East (Written Culture and Identity)
by Rehnuma SazzadEdward Said was an exiled individual – the 'out of place' Palestinian in the USA. He saw the consequences of the 1948 dismantling of Palestine and the establishment of Israel through his parents' experiences and through the collective statelessness imposed on the Palestinians. His own personal experience of exile intensified when he moved to the USA. Yet despite the significance of exile to Said's lifeand work, no scholarship has yet focused on this theme in his writings or traced its ongoing applicability and importance. Rehnuma Sazzad fulfils this pressing need in literary and cultural research by providing the first comprehensive definition of Said's theory of exile and reveals its legacy in relation to five Middle Eastern intellectuals: Naguib Mahfouz, Mahmoud Darwish, Leila Ahmed, Nawal El Saadawi and Youssef Chahine. By selecting a novelist, poet, feminist, filmmaker and essayist, Sazzad shows how, for Said, the ideal intellectual is a metaphorical exile, demonstrating a willing homelessness. This book creates a portrait of redoubtable intellectual practice and in the twenty-first-century context, when the frontiers of belonging are being constantly redrawn, Edward Said's Concept of Exile adds new depths to discourses of resistance, home and identity.

Egg (Object Lessons)
by Nicole WalkerObject Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things. This book is about a strange object-strange in part because it is something that we all have been, and that many of us eat. Nicole Walker's Egg relishes in sharp juxtapositions of seemingly fanciful or repellent topics, so that reproductive science and gustatory habits are considered alongside one another, and personal narrative and broad swaths of natural history jostle, like yolk and albumen. Mapping curious eggs across times, scales, and spaces, Egg draws together surprising perspectives on this common object-egg as food, as art object, as metaphor and feminist symbol, as cultural icon.Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic.
Egypt: British colony, imperial capital (Studies in Imperialism #147)
by James WhiddenThis book is a comprehensive portrait of the British colony in Egypt, which also takes a fresh look at the examples of colonial cultures memorably enshrined in Edward W. Said’s classic Orientalism. Arguing that Said’s analysis offered only the dominant discourse in imperial and colonial narratives, it uses private papers, letters, memoirs, as well as the official texts, histories and government reports, to reveal both dominant and muted discourses. While imperial sentiment certainly set the standards and sealed the image of a ruling caste culture, the investigation of colonial sentiment reveals a more diverse colony in temperament and lifestyles, often intimately rooted in the Egyptian setting. The method involves providing biographical treatments of a wide range of colonials and the sometimes contradictory responses to specific colonial locations, historical junctures and seminal events, like invasion and war or grand imperial projects including the Alexandria municipality.
Egypt: British colony, imperial capital (Studies in Imperialism #147)
by James WhiddenThe book is a treatment of the British colony in Egypt from the eighteenth century to the end of the twentieth century, revealing deep-seated cultural and economic links, while also considering how the mundane concerns of ordinary colonials fared in a strategically vital imperial base, with all its attendant complications.
The Egyptian Military in Popular Culture: Context and Critique
by Dalia Said MostafaThis book examines a key question through the lens of popular culture: Why did the Egyptian people opt to elect in June 2014 a new president (Abdel Fattah al-Sisi), who hails from the military establishment, after toppling a previous military dictator (Hosni Mubarak) with the breakout of the 25 January 2011 Revolution? In order to dissect this question, the author considers the complexity of the relationship between the Egyptian people and their national army, and how popular cultural products play a pivotal role in reinforcing or subverting this relationship. The author takes the reader on a ‘journey’ through crucial historical and political events in Egypt whilst focusing on multi-layered representations of the ‘military figure’ (the military leader, the heroic soldier, the freedom fighter, the conscript, the martyred soldier, and the Intelligence officer) in a wide range of popular works in literature, film, song, TV drama series, and graffiti art. Mostafa argues that the realm of popular culture in Egypt serves as the ‘blood veins’ which feed the nation’s perception of its Armed Forces.
Egyptians in Revolt: The Political Economy of Labor and Student Mobilizations 1919–2011 (Routledge Studies in Middle Eastern Democratization and Government)
by Adel Abdel GhafarEgyptians in Revolt investigates the political economy of the Egyptian labor and student movements. Using elements of social movement theory within a broad political economy framework, it assesses labor and student mobilizations in four eras of contemporary Egyptian history: the pre-1952 era, the Nasser era, the Sadat era and the Mubarak era. Egyptians in Revolt examines how both student and labor groups responded to the political economy pressures of the respective eras. Within the context of social movement theory, the book argues that political opportunities and threats have had a significant impact on both student and labor mobilizations. In addition, the book explores how the movements have, at times, been able to affect government policies. However, the argument is made that the inability of both groups to sustain momentum in the long term is due to cooptation efforts by established political forces and the absence of viable and enduring organizational structures that are autonomous of state control. By combining analysis to include both labor and student movements, Egyptians in Revolt is a valuable resource for understanding the Egyptian political economy and its impact on mobilizations. It will therefore be of interest to students and scholars of Middle East Studies, as well as those interested in social movement more broadly.

Ein- und Ausgrenzungen von Migranten: Zur sozialen Konstruktion (un-)erwünschter Zuwanderung (Kultur und soziale Praxis)
by Christian UlbrichtDie öffentlichen Debatten über Einwanderung und Integration sind polarisierend - mehr denn je. Stets stellt sich die Frage, wie im Einwanderungsdiskurs legitim zwischen erwünschter und unerwünschter Einwanderung unterschieden wird. Christian Ulbrichts wissenssoziologische Studie liefert einen innovativen Beitrag zum liberalen Paradox und zeigt, wie vor dem Hintergrund des Menschenrechtsdiskurses eine rassistische Ein- und Ausgrenzung extrem rechtfertigungswürdig ist. Er verdeutlicht, dass sich die Frage nach der Erwünschtheit von Zuwanderung am Klassenmerkmal der Einwanderer_innen entscheidet: Die Einwanderer_innen werden als mobile Humankapitalträger_innen wahrgenommen, sodass ein Dualismus aus Mobilität vs. Migration entsteht.
Eine inklusionsorientierte Schule: Erzählungen von Teilhabe, Ausgrenzungen und Behinderungen
by Kirsten Puhr Jens GeldnerKonzeptionen und Praxen inklusionsorientierter Schulen werfen ambivalente Fragen von Teilhabe, Ausgrenzungen und Behinderungen auf. Sowohl die theoretischen Einsätze als auch die lebensgeschichtlichen und analytischen Erzählungen dieses Buches geben ein Bild davon, dass solche Fragen in diskursiven Praxen schulischer Inklusion und Exklusion in unterschiedlichsten Weisen zu handhaben sind, aber nicht abschließend beantwortet werden können.Damit stellt sich eine erziehungs- und sozialwissenschaftlich sowie bildungspolitisch motivierte Perspektive auf integrations- und inklusionspädagogische Konzepte und Praxen zur Diskussion, die deren kritisch-produktives Potential in kontingenten, vieldeutigen und instabilen Konstruktionen und den damit verbundenen Machtverhältnissen sucht.
Einführung in die Soziologie der Behinderung
by Jörg Michael KastlIn diesem Lehrbuch wird erstmals konsequent vor einem körpersoziologischen Hintergrund eine Soziologie der Behinderung entwickelt. Dies geschieht im steten Rückgriff auf empirische Forschungsbefunde, historische und kulturanthropologische Beispiele. Es wird ein fundierter Überblick über soziologische Dimensionen körperlicher, kognitiver und psychischer Behinderungen vermittelt. In Bildinterpretationen und exemplarischen Studien (u.a. zu Themen wie Blick, Inklusion, Freakshows, Behinderung im Nationalsozialismus) werden Denkweisen und Forschungsperspektiven der Soziologie der Behinderung demonstriert. Für die zweite Auflage wurden statistische Daten aktualisiert, neuere Forschungsarbeiten berücksichtigt und inhaltliche Erweiterungen vorgenommen. Wichtige Konzepte wurden weiterentwickelt. Dazu gehören die an Jacques Lacan anknüpfende Trias Imaginäres-Reales-Symbolisches und die Abgrenzung der Kategorien „Inklusion“, „Integration“ und „Teilhabe“. Es werden wichtige soziologische Autoren einbezogen (Parsons, Goffman, Luhmann, Bourdieu, Elias, Berger/Luckmann) und aktuelle Kontroversen aufgegriffen: Kann man Behinderung definieren? Gibt es eine barrierefreie Welt? Ist Behinderung nur eine soziale Konstruktion? Was heißt Inklusion?
Einführung in lineare Strukturgleichungsmodelle mit Stata
by Julian AichholzerZiele dieses Lehrbuches sind eine verständliche Einführung in wesentliche Konzepte und statistische Grundlagen linearer Strukturgleichungsmodelle (SEM) sowie die didaktische Vermittlung und deren praktische Umsetzung mittels der Statistik-Software „Stata“. Die Software Stata ist heute neben SPSS und R eine der weitest verbreiteten Statistik-Software-Pakete in den Sozial-, Verhaltens- und Wirtschaftswissenschaften. Die didaktische Vermittlung von SEM mittels Stata eignet sich auf Grund der (vergleichsweise) einfachen Syntax-Sprache und der Einbettung in eine Software-Umgebung zur nutzerfreundlichen Datenaufbereitung als auch -analyse.
Elasticized Ecclesiology: The Concept of Community after Ernst Troeltsch
by Ulrich SchmiedelThis study confronts the current crisis of churches. In critical and creative conversation with the German theologian Ernst Troeltsch (1865-1923), Ulrich Schmiedel argues that churches need to be “elasticized” in order to engage the “other.” Examining contested concepts of religiosity, community, and identity, Schmiedel explores how the closure of church against the sociological “other” corresponds to the closure of church against the theological “other.” Taking trust as a central category, he advocates for a turn in the interpretation of Christianity—from “propositional possession” to “performative project,” so that the identity of Christianity is “done” rather than “described.” Through explorations of classical and contemporary scholarship in philosophy, sociology, and theology, Schmiedel retrieves Troeltsch’s interdisciplinary thinking for use in relation to the controversies that encircle the construction of community today. The study opens up innovative and instructive approaches to the investigation of the practices of Christianity, past and present. Eventually, church emerges as a “work in movement,” continually constituted through encounters with the sociological and the theological “other.”

Eleanor Roosevelt: On Women, Politics, Leadership, and Lessons from Life
by Nancy WolochThis illustrated, first of its kind collection of excerpts from Eleanor Roosevelt's newspaper columns, radio talks, speeches, and correspondence speaks directly to the challenges we face today.Acclaimed for her roles in politics and diplomacy, first lady Eleanor Roosevelt was also a prolific author, journalist, lecturer, broadcaster, educator, and public personality. Using excerpts from her books, columns, articles, press conferences, speeches, radio talks, and correspondence, Eleanor Roosevelt: In Her Words tracks her contributions from the 1920s, when she entered journalism and public life; through the White House years, when she campaigned for racial justice, the labor movement, and "the forgotten woman;" to the postwar era, when she served at the United Nations and shaped the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Selections touch on Roosevelt's early entries in women's magazines ("Ten Rules for Success in Marriage"), her insights on women in politics ("Women Must Learn to Play the Game As Men Do"), her commentary on World War II ("What We Are Fighting For"), her work for civil rights ("The Four Equalities"), her clash with Soviet delegates at the UN ("These Same Old Stale Charges"), and her advice literature ("If You Ask Me"). Surprises include her unique preparation for leadership, the skill with which she defied critics and grasped authority, her competitive stance as a professional, and the force of her political messages to modern readers. Scorning the "America First" mindset, Eleanor Roosevelt underlined the interdependence of people and of nations. Eleanor Roosevelt: In Her Words illuminates her achievement as a champion of civil rights, human rights, and democratic ideals.
