Hate in the Homeland: The New Global Far Right

by Cynthia Miller-Idriss

A startling look at the unexpected places where violent hate groups recruit young peopleHate crimes. Misinformation and conspiracy theories. Foiled white-supremacist plots. The signs of growing far-right extremism are all around us, and communities across America and around the globe are struggling to understand how so many people are being radicalized and why they are increasingly attracted to violent movements. Hate in the Homeland shows how tomorrow's far-right nationalists are being recruited in surprising places, from college campuses and mixed martial arts gyms to clothing stores, online gaming chat rooms, and YouTube cooking channels.Instead of focusing on the how and why of far-right radicalization, Cynthia Miller-Idriss seeks answers in the physical and virtual spaces where hate is cultivated. Where does the far right do its recruiting? When do young people encounter extremist messaging in their everyday lives? Miller-Idriss shows how far-right groups are swelling their ranks and developing their cultural, intellectual, and financial capacities in a variety of mainstream settings. She demonstrates how young people on the margins of our communities are targeted in these settings, and how the path to radicalization is a nuanced process of moving in and out of far-right scenes throughout adolescence and adulthood.Hate in the Homeland is essential for understanding the tactics and underlying ideas of modern far-right extremism. This eye-opening book takes readers into the mainstream places and spaces where today's far right is engaging and ensnaring young people, and reveals innovative strategies we can use to combat extremist radicalization.

Hate, Politics, Law: Critical Perspectives on Combating Hate (Studies in Penal Theory and Philosophy)

by Thomas Brudholm Birgitte Schepelern Johansen

References to hate have become ubiquitous in the modern response to group defamation and violence in liberal democracies. Whether expressed in speech, acted out in criminal conduct, or seen as the fuel of terror and extremism, hate is persistently considered a vice, an evil, and a threat to the modern liberal democracy. But what exactly is at stake when societies oppose hate? In Hate, Politics, Law: Critical Perspectives on Combating Hate, Thomas Brudholm and Birgitte Schepelern Johansen have gathered a group of distinguished scholars who offer a critical exploration and assessment of the basic assumptions, ideals, and agendas behind the modern fight against hate. They explore these issues and provide a range of explanatory and normative perspectives on the awkward relationship between hate and liberal democracy, as expressed, for example, through anti-hate speech and anti-hate crime initiatives. The volume further examines the presuppositions and ideological roots of fighting hate, as well as its blind spots and limits. It also includes discussions on the definition and meaning of hate, the longer and broader history of the concept of hate, and when and why fighting hatred became politically salient. While most research on hate crime is written and published in order to prevent and combat hate, Hate, Politics, Law takes a much-needed theoretical, historical, and exploratory approach to hatred.

Hate Speech - Multidisziplinäre Analysen und Handlungsoptionen: Theoretische und empirische Annäherungen an ein interdisziplinäres Phänomen

by Sebastian Wachs Barbara Koch-Priewe Andreas Zick

Dass Hate Speech ein zentrales wie hoch relevantes Thema ist, bedarf kaum noch der Erwähnung, weil sie in den letzten Jahren mit einer zunehmenden Polarisierung und Radikalisierung in vielen Gesellschaften präsenter geworden ist. Da sich in den letzten Jahren ganz unterschiedliche Disziplinen unabhängig voneinander dem Phänomen „Hate Speech“ genähert haben, erscheint ein interdisziplinärer Überblick zu diesem Thema notwendig. In diesem Sammelband tragen Expert*innen Beiträge zu Definitionen, Möglichkeiten der theoretischen und empirischen Bearbeitung sowie Handlungsoptionen zusammen. In dem ersten Abschnitt werden multidisziplinäre Analysen präsentiert, wobei es u.a. um Forschung, Modelle und Theorien zu Hate Speech geht. In dem zweiten Abschnitt stehen die Konsequenzen und praktische Reaktionsmöglichkeiten auf Hate Speech sowie Einblicke in die Präventionsarbeit im Vordergrund. Das Ziel des Sammelbands ist es, Wissen, Erfahrungen und Ideen zu bündeln und die Leser*innen zu weiter gehenden Reflexionen anzuregen.

Hatters, Railwaymen and Knitters: Travels through England’s Football Provinces

by Daniel Gray

Daniel Gray is about to turn thirty. Like any sane person, his response is to travel to Luton, Crewe and Hinckley. After a decade's exile in Scotland, he sets out to reacquaint himself with England via what he considers its greatest asset: football.Watching teams from the Championship (or Division Two as any right-minded person calls it) to the South West Peninsula Premier, and aimlessly walking around towns from Carlisle to Newquay, Gray paints a curious landscape forgotten by many. He discovers how the provinces made the England we know, from Teesside's role in the Empire to Luton's in our mongrel DNA. Moments in the histories of his teams come together to form football's narrative, starting with Sheffield pioneers and ending with fan ownership at Chester, and Gray shows how the modern game unifies an England in flux and dominates the places in which it is played.Hatters, Railwaymen and Knitters is a wry and affectionate ramble through the wonderful towns and teams that make the country and capture its very essence. It is part-football book, part-travelogue and part-love letter to the bits of England that often get forgotten, celebrated here in all their blessed eccentricity.

Häufige Projektfehlschläge als emotionale Herausforderung: Eine Studie zu organisationalen Bewältigungspraktiken in zwei Architekturbüros

by Erik Schäfer

Erik Schäfer beschreibt am Beispiel von zwei Architekturbüros, wie sich projektbasierte Organisationen nach fehlgeschlagenen Projekten vor negativen Emotionen schützen, um die positiven Emotionen, die für die Arbeit an weiteren Projekten benötigt werden, zu erhalten. Die identifizierten Bewältigungspraktiken bieten einerseits Sicherheit und Anschlussfähigkeit im Handeln, weil sie negative Emotionen verdrängen und störende Gefühlsausbrüche abwenden. Da solche Ausbrüche aber auch Hinweise auf notwendige Veränderungen sein können, besteht andererseits die Gefahr, dass die Praktiken zu Wandelbarrieren verkommen. Die Studie schließt mit Empfehlungen zum Umgang mit diesem Dilemma.

The Haunt of Misery: Critical essays in social work and helping (Routledge Revivals)

by Chris Rojek Geraldine Peacock Stewart Collins

First published in 1989, The Haunt of Misery offers social workers and students critical essays for critical times. Faced with unreflective wealth creation and the fragmentation of the counterculture, social work is perceived as failing to meet the needs of the client. Many social workers are left feeling angry, stranded and confused. Written by academics and professionals, the essays range over social work and unemployment, the crisis of AIDS and HIV infection, drug use, client collectives, the elderly, the ethnic minorities, professionalism, and self-management. The authors offer constructive criticism of existing social work practice and suggest radical and exciting issues for the profession in the 1990s and beyond.

Haunted Nations: The Colonial Dimensions of Multiculturalisms (Transformations)

by Sneja Gunew

Postcolonialism has attracted a large amount of interest in cultural theory, but the adjacent area of multiculturalism has not been scrutinised to quite the same extent. In this innovative new book, Sneja Gunew sets out to interrogate the ways in which the transnational discourse of multiculturalism may be related to the politics of race and indigeneity, grounding her discussion in a variety of national settings and a variety of literary, autobiographical and theoretical texts. Using examples from marginal sites - the "settler societies" of Australia and Canada - to cast light on the globally dominant discourses of the US and the UK, Gunew analyses the political ambiguities and the pitfalls involved in a discourse of multiculturalism haunted by the opposing spectres of anarchy and assimilation.

Haunted Nature: Entanglements of the Human and the Nonhuman (Palgrave Gothic)

by Sladja Blazan

This volume is a study of human entanglements with Nature as seen through the mode of haunting. As an interruption of the present by the past, haunting can express contemporary anxieties concerning our involvement in the transformation of natural environments and their ecosystems, and our complicity in their collapse. It can also express a much-needed sense of continuity and relationality. The complexity of the question—who and what gets to be called human with respect to the nonhuman—is reflected in these collected chapters, which, in their analysis of cinematic and literary representations of sentient Nature within the traditional gothic trope of haunting, bring together history, race, postcolonialism, and feminism with ecocriticism and media studies. Given the growing demand for narratives expressing our troubled relationship with Nature, it is imperative to analyze this contested ground.

Haunted Seasons: Television Ghost Stories for Christmas and Horror for Halloween (Palgrave Gothic)

by Derek Johnston

This book explores the literary and cultural history behind certain Christmas and Halloween traditions, and examines the way that they have moved into broadcasting. It demonstrates how these horror traditions have become more domestic and personal, and how they provide a necessary seasonal pause for reflection on our fears.

Haunting the Knowledge Economy (International Library of Sociology)

by Jane Kenway Elizabeth Bullen Johannah Fahey Simon Robb

This highly original book provides an engaging and critical introduction to the knowledge economy. The knowledge economy is a potent force pervading global and national policy circles. Yet few people outside the field of economics understand its central ideas and practices. This book makes these accessible. But it does much more. It provokes 'conversations' between the knowledge economy and those marginalized economies that haunt it: the risk, gift, libidinal and survival economies. These illuminate the knowledge economy's shortcomings and point to alternative possible systems of exchange and sets of values. This multi-disciplinary study takes the knowledge economy out of the hands of the economists and brings it into creative tension with the ideas of key thinkers from sociology, anthropology, philosophy and ecology. Illustrating the benefits of conversing with the ghosts of alternative economies, this provocative book will unsettle the way in which the knowledge economy is understood. Groundbreaking and globally applicable, it has been authored by internationally respected authors and its conceptual breadth pertains to a range of disciplines and gives it its wide appeal.

Hauptwerke der Organisationstheorie (wv studium #186)

by Klaus Türk

Das Feld der Organisationstheorie ist inzwischen riesig und unübersichtlich geworden. Kein einführendes Lehrbuch könnte auch nur die wichtigsten Arbeiten hinreichend würdigen. Theorie- und Perspektivenvielfalt, Interdisziplinarität, komplexe Anschlüsse an allgemeinere soziologische und ökonomische Theoriedebatten erschweren die Erschließung dieses Faches erheblich. So soll dieser Band eine Hilfestellung für Studierende und Dozierende sein. Dieses Lehrbuch behandelt 152 ausgewählte Hauptwerke der Organisationstheorie alphabetisch nach Autorennamen sortiert. Jede einzelne Besprechung folgt einem einheitlichen Muster: Zunächst wird das jeweilige Werk in der Originalsprache genannt, dann in einer (wenn vorhanden) deutschen Übersetzung. Im weiteren geben die Beitragsautoren eine dichte Beschreibung der Entstehung, des Gehalts des Hauptwerkes sowie seiner werkgeschichtlichen Bedeutung sowie Rezeptions- und Wirkungsgeschichte. Angefügt werden bibliographische Hinweise auf aktuelle Ausgaben und weiterführende Literatur.

Häuser machen Schule: Eine architektursoziologische Analyse gebauter Bildung (Rekonstruktive Bildungsforschung #27)

by Jan Egger

In diesem Open-Access-Buch werden in einem methodisch unkonventionellen, quasi-archäologischen Vorgehen aus Architekturen von Schulhäusern die in ,Stein gehauenen‘ Sinnstrukturen rekonstruiert. In ihren Raum(an)ordnungen eröffnen Architekturen einen Möglichkeitsraum, dem spezifische pädagogische Ordnungen und Vorstellungen ,guter Schule‘ eingeschrieben sind und der die Praktiken und Beziehungen der Akteure vorstrukturiert. Schulgebäude und architektonische Artefakte fungieren somit als eine latent wirkende Einflussstruktur, die subtil und zugleich dauerhaft die Schule in ihrer ,Schulförmigkeit‘ festschreibt. Schulförmige Artefakte erzeugen eindeutige, monofunktionale Handlungsaufforderungen und unterbinden gleichzeitig Handlungsalternativen.

Hausfamilien: Nähe und Distanz in unilokalen Mehrgenerationenkontexten

by Marek Fuchs

Der Band beschreibt Großfamilien, die zwar in einem Haus, aber in verschiedenen Haushalten leben. Es werden die sozialen und ökonomischen Abhängigkeiten dargestellt und untersucht, wie die Mitglieder Nähe zu Familienangehörigen bei gleichzeitiger Individualität und Abstand erreichen können. Ein beträchtlicher Teil der Haushalte ist Bestandteil einer Hausfamilie, kann also auf familiale Unterstützung und soziale Ressourcen zurückgreifen, die zwar außerhalb des Haushalts, aber doch in unmittelbarer räumlicher und sozialer Nähe bei Familienangehörigen im gleichen Haus verfügbar sind.

Haushaltsnahe Dienstleistungen in der Familienpolitik: Analyse eines ausbleibenden Policy-Wandels (Familie und Familienwissenschaft)

by Corinna Schein

Die Förderung haushaltsnaher Dienstleistungen wird bereits seit Mitte der 1980er Jahre als familienpolitisches Instrument diskutiert. Während sich in Bezug auf die Kindererziehung mit dem Kinderbetreuungsausbau sowie der Reform von Elternzeit und Elterngeld ein Paradigmenwechsel in der deutschen Familienpolitik vollzog, wurde der Bereich der Hausarbeit weitgehend ausgeklammert. Das vorliegende Buch untersucht, warum die Entwicklung familienpolitischer Instrumente zur Förderung haushaltsnaher Dienstleistungen stagnierte. Anhand einer Politikfeldanalyse, die den Ansatz des Advocacy Coalition Framework und das Konzept der policy frames integriert, analysiert die Autorin den Prozess von 1989 bis 2017 und erarbeitet Erklärungsansätze für den ausbleibenden Policy-Wandel.

Have Japanese Firms Changed?: The Lost Decade (Palgrave Macmillan Asian Business Series)

by Hiroaki Miyoshi & Yoshifumi Nakata

If we ask simply whether Japanese business has changed, our answer must be an unequivocal yes and this is answered with a primary focus on technology, the traditional source of Japan's strong competitiveness. But if we ask whether Japanese firms have also changed in any substantive ways we must accept a less sanguine conclusion.

Have Repertoire, Will Travel: Nonviolence as Global Contentious Performance (Elements in Contentious Politics)

by null Selina R. Gallo-Cruz

Nonviolence is celebrated and practiced around the world, as a universal 'method for all human conflict.' This Element describes how nonviolence has evolved into a global repertoire, a patterned form of contentious political performance that has spread as an international movement of movements, systematizing and institutionalizing particular forms of protest as best claims-making practice. It explains how the formal organizational efforts of social movement emissaries and favorable and corresponding global models of state and civic participation have enabled the globalization of nonviolence. The Element discusses a historical perspective of this process to illuminate how understanding nonviolence as a contentious performance can explain the repertoire's successes and failures across contexts and over time. The Element underscores the dynamics of contention among global repertoires and suggests future research more closely examines the challenges posed by institutionalization.
