Doing language im Deutschunterricht: Eine Analyse sprachbezogener Adressierungen in diskursiver Praxis
by Denise BüttnerDie Studie leistet einen empirisch-rekonstruktiven Beitrag zu einer machtkritisch ausgerichteten Fachdidaktik. Sie fokussiert den Deutschunterricht und die darin stattfindenden Interaktionen als diskursive Praxis, in der ein spezifisches Wissen in, über und angesichts von Sprache relevant gemacht wird. Für Subjektivierung ist jenes Wissen hochgradig wirkmächtig und bleibt den Akteur*innen im Prozess der schulischen Enkulturation doch größtenteils unbewusst. Darin liegt ein hohes Potential für die institutionelle (Re-)Produktion von Linguizismus.Vor diesem Hintergrund eröffnet die Studie einen Blick auf sprachbezogene Adressierungen, die in charakteristischer Weise vom Fach selbst ausgehen. Sie werden in (fach)didaktischen und pädagogischen Programmatiken breit kommuniziert und zeichnen sich bis auf die Ebene unterrichtlicher Praktiken ab. Um das Zusammenspiel von fachspezifischer Adressierung und Praktiken des ‚doing language‘ möglichst eng aufeinander beziehen und in rekonstruktionslogisch plausibilisierte Zusammenhänge bringen zu können, liegt der Arbeit ein wissenssoziologisch-diskursanalytischer Ansatz zugrunde.
Language, Gender, and Sexuality: An Introduction (Routledge Guides to Linguistics)
by Scott F. KieslingLanguage, Gender, and Sexuality offers a panoramic and accessible introduction to the ways in which linguistic patterns are sensitive to social categories of gender and sexuality, as well as an overview of how speakers use language to create and display gender and sexuality. Revised to include the latest developments, this book covers discussions of trans/nonbinary/genderqueer identities, embodiment, new media, and the role of language and interaction in sexual harassment, assault, and rape.Drawing on an international range of examples to illustrate key points, this book addresses the questions of:• how language categorizes the gender/sexuality world in both grammar and interaction;• how speakers display, create, and orient to gender, sexuality, and desire in interaction;• how and why people display different ways of speaking based on their gender/sexual identities.The second edition has been fully updated and now includes new sections on political discourse and social media, more discussion questions, and new extensive online resources with student activities and instructor materials. Aimed at students with no background in linguistics or gender studies, this book is essential reading for anyone studying language, gender, and sexuality for the first time.

The Routledge Handbook on the Influence of Built Environments on Diverse Childhoods (Routledge International Handbooks)
by Kate Bishop Katina DimouliasChildren and young people are often discussed as if they are homogenous groups. The reality is, of course, very different, with an enormous variation within each of these groups and in any domain of experience pertaining to childhood or adolescence. Driven by personal, sociocultural, geographic, or economic circumstances, many children and young people worldwide are experiencing a totally different reality to those who fit with more mainstream patterns of childhood. This has substantial implications for their sociophysical environmental experience and our understanding of their physical environmental needs. The aim of this book is to draw attention to these alternate realities for a number of these groups of children and young people, highlighting the unique and different considerations associated with their particular circumstances in each instance, and identifying the repercussions for their physical environmental needs. Ultimately, this book creates an evidence-based discussion which can be used by designers, planners and policy makers, and those delivering services and programs to children and young people as a basis to make informed decisions on how to work with the groups of children and young people in our book for better environmental provision.
The Global Life of Mines: Mining and Post-Mining in Comparative Perspective (Dislocations #37)
by Antonio Maria Pusceddu Filippo M. ZerilliResource extraction exists in diverse settings across the world and is carried out through different practices. The Global Life of Mines provides a comprehensive framework examining the spatial and temporal relationships between mining and postmining as interrelated and coexisting features within the global minescape. The book brings together scholars from various fields, such as anthropology, geography, sociology and political science, examining ethnographic case studies throughout the Americas (Bolivia, Brazil, Peru, USA), Africa (Democratic Republic of Congo) and Europe (Italy, Arctic Norway and Spain).
Egalitarian Dynamics: Liminality, and Victor Turner’s Contribution to the Understanding of Socio-historical Process (Egalitarianism #2)
by Bruce Kapferer Marina GoldLiminality: the state of being ‘betwixt and between’ is one of anthropology’s most influential concepts. This volume reconsiders Victor Turner’s innovative extension of Arnold Van Gennep’s concept of liminality from within the Manchester tradition of Social Anthropology established by Max Gluckman. Turner’s work was grounded in ethnography and engaged with philosophical perspectives in varied socio-historical contexts, extending well-beyond the confines of the anthropology that initially inspired much of his work. Liminality has therefore become a concept with broad interdisciplinary reach. Engaging with topical issues across the globe – from neuroscience to open access publishing and refugee experiences in Europe – this volume launches Turner’s fundamental work into the future.
Two Against the Tide: The shared career and lost legacy of Brenda and Charles Seligman (Methodology & History in Anthropology #48)
by Ann Lazarsfeld-JensenWhen Charles Seligman invited his wife, Brenda, to share his tent in 1907, he sanctioned a professional place for female fieldworkers in anthropology. Seligman was a groundbreaking pioneer of ethnographic work in Oceania and Africa. He treated shellshocked soldiers, he amassed museum collections and he fathered a generation of exceptional students. Brenda, his first student, became a scholar in her own right. Eighty years after his death, the Seligman legacy was deleted from the institution he began. Two Against the Tide explores how as wealthy Anglo-Jews, Charles and Brenda Seligman built a shared career through secret benevolence and silent endurance of hardship.
Reconstructing Homes: Affective Materiality and Atmospheres of Belonging (Material Mediations: People and Things in a World of Movement #15)
by Eerika Koskinen-Koivisto, Kristiina Korjonen-Kuusipuro, Viktorija L.A. Čeginskas, Anna Kajander Helmut De NardiIn the practice of constructing the idea of home and the emotions surrounding it, sensory experiences and materiality intertwine to form layers of memory and affective atmospheres. People in different life stages and situations create continuity and a sense of home by engaging with materiality and objects in their own unique way. Reconstructing Homes takes on a multidisciplinary approach of sensory ethnography, visual methods and autoethnography methodologies to explore affective engagements with materiality in the context of home and the idea of belonging.

Food Security in a Developing World: Status, Challenges, and Opportunities
by Pardeep Singh Bendangwapang Ao Nabajyoti Deka Chander Mohan Chhetan ChhoidubThe book tries to answer the most fundamental question of whether there is a link between abundant food supply and economic growth with respect to a higher degree of human development. In order to have flourishing economic growth within a country the need for a food security system is a must. The world as we know is faced with shortages of food supply which has been a major factor in the country's economic development. The book is an attempt to understand the problems and current situation of food systems in the developing world. It focuses on the pathways to understand the challenges that it faces and predict future scenarios. The motive is to create academic literature to understand the basis of sustainable food security. The social, economic, and political factors become the main theme of the book. It focuses on the interdisciplinary nature of food security. Many a time we only understand the idea of food security through the lens of scientific nature but in the meantime, it forgets the other important factors that are governing the issue of food security. The inclusion of the cases section in the book helps to outline the current scenarios of the developing world. It helps to formulate a pathway or a way forward to understand the causes of food security. Food has now become a political context in the international system. The need for analyzing the political angle is necessary. The context of innovations and technological developments forms an important part of food security. The critique of existing policy systems across the developing world is a must need discussion as it is the policies that will make the food systems sustainable. Last but not least is to look at how the global food systems work and how far it has been able to fix the problems of food insecurity in the developing world. Overall, the book is an excellent interdisciplinary food security literature.
The Palgrave Handbook of Humour Research
by Elisabeth Vanderheiden Claude-Hélène MayerThis handbook is the updated and expanded second edition of a highly cited and impactful collection, which provides new perspectives on humour from transdisciplinary perspectives. The collection’s focus is on humour as a resource from different socio-cultural and psychological viewpoints, bringing together authors from different cultures, social contexts and countries. The handbook enables researchers and practitioners to unlock research findings which give new directions for contemporary and future humour research. By employing transdisciplinary and transcultural perspectives, the volume further discusses humour in regard to different cultural and political contexts, humour over the lifespan, in therapy and counselling, in pedagogical settings, in medicine and the workspace. The contributions also highlight the connections between humour and the COVID-19 pandemic and promise new inspiring insights. This second edition includes a new introduction from the editors, updates to the majority of the chapters, and five new chapters which take a humour-research approach to contemporary issues such as the Russian-Ukrainian crisis, the consequences of the pandemic, and tackles developments related to artificial intelligence and gamification. With an expanded scope, this handbook will continue to appeal to researchers, practitioners and students in the fields of industrial and organisational psychology, positive psychology, organisational studies, future studies, health and occupational science and therapy, who will find each chapter highly topical, insightful and applicable to practice.
White Supremacy and Anti-Supremacy Forces in the United States: A Sociohistorical and Social-Psychological Approach (Frontiers in Sociology and Social Research #12)
by George LundskowThis book applies the most recent research in social psychology to decisive historical events that arguably built white supremacy as a cultural force, institutional system, and dominant social character. Simultaneously, the discussion considers the progressive counter-forces that have and continue to challenge white supremacy, and how this dialectical battle has brought the United States to the polarizations of the present day. The book builds a four-part argument. First, it considers the origins of white supremacy in the United States, and how some people uphold it today. Second, it discusses personality types that find white supremacy appealing. Third, it lays out the sociohistorical patterns that promoted white supremacy, rewarded people who practiced it, and created generations of people who find meaning and comfort in racist, misogynist, and heteronormative domination. Fourth, it discusses the social counterforces that challenge white supremacy and links these to personality types as well. Overall, the book examines how social character correlates with differing personality types, resulting in very different social movements, cultural expressions, political activities, and daily interactions.
