No full textSoftcover, 17x24Wer vor hundert Jahren in Deutschland Forstwirtschaft studierte, der kam häufig aus gutbürgerlichen Verhältnissen oder entstammte einer Adelsfamilie. Diese jungen Männer fühlten sich in aller Regel den militärischen Traditionen ihrer Väter verpflichtet und wussten mit der Verfassung von Weimar wenig anzufangen. Sie genossen die Privilegien ihrer Herkunft und das Renommee ihres Berufsstandes. Das „Dritte Reich“ und sein „Führer“ wurden von ihnen freudig begrüßt und die frühen Kriegserfolge begeistert gefeiert, an denen sie als Reserveoffiziere nicht selten auch selbst beteiligt waren. Dennoch fanden einige von ihnen den Weg in den Widerstand gegen Hitler. Wie aber verträgt sich das landläufige Bild von den Forstleuten als „staatstreue Funktionseliten“ mit Konspiration und Attentat? Im vorliegenden Band wird der Versuch unternommen, die Voraussetzungen und Spielräume „forstlichen“ Widerstands gegen das nationalsozialistische Regime anhand biographischer Skizzen darzustellen. Soweit möglich, wurden auch die Biographien der Ehefrauen dieser Forstleute in die Recherchen einbezogen. Sie waren zumeist in die geheimen Aktivitäten ihrer Männer eingeweiht und trugen die Entscheidung mit, nicht nur das eigene Leben, sondern auch das ihrer Familien aufs Spiel zu setzen
Historische Generationen in prozesssoziologischer Perspektive
No full textSoftcover, 17x24In den letzten 50 Jahren veränderte sich die palästinensische Gesellschaft im Westjordanland tiefgreifend. Die israelische Besatzung ab 1967, die politische Mobilisierung der 1970er und 1980er Jahre und der sogenannte Friedensprozess ab den 1990er Jahren gingen mit massiven gesellschaftlichen Transformationen einher, die nicht nur die israelisch-palästinensische Konfliktdynamik, sondern auch die Figurationen und Konfliktlinien zwischen verschiedenen gesellschaftlichen Gruppen innerhalb der palästinensischen Gesellschaft wiederholt veränderten. Die vorliegende soziologische Forschungsarbeit arbeitet diese Wandlungsprozesse heraus und greift dafür theoretisch-konzeptionell auf die Figurationssoziologie Norbert Elias’, die sozialkonstruktivistische Biographieforschung sowie die Wissens- und Generationssoziologie Karl Mannheims zurück. Neben dem von Konflikten und Spannungen geprägten Verhältnis zwischen der Bevölkerung in den Flüchtlingslager-Gegenden von 1948 und den (neuen) urbanen Mittelschichten im Westjordanland nimmt der Autor insbesondere einen latenten palästinensischen Generationenkonflikt in den Blick. Denn den Mitgliedern der ‚Generation Oslo‘ – also denjenigen Palästinenser*innen, die im Zuge des Oslo-Friedensprozesses ab den 1990er Jahren geboren wurden und aufwuchsen – stehen geringere Macht-, Lebens- und insbesondere Sinnchancen zur Verfügung als ihren Vorgängern aus der ‚Kampfgeneration‘ der 1970er und 1980er Jahre.The past fifty years have seen far-reaching changes in Palestinian society in the West Bank. The Israeli occupation which began in 1967, the political mobilization of the 1970s and 1980s, and the so-called peace process in the 1990s went together with deep social transformations, which not only changed the dynamics of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but also altered the figurations and conflict lines between different social groups within Palestinian society. This book is a sociological study of these transformation processes, based on a combination of Norbert Elias’ figurational sociology, social-constructivist biographical research, and Karl Mannheim’s sociology of knowledge and generational sociology. In addition to conflicts and tensions between inhabitants of the old refugee camps and the (new) urban middle class in the West Bank, the author focuses in particular on a latent Palestinian generational conflict: it is clear that members of the ‘Oslo Generation’ – meaning those who grew up during the Oslo peace process in the 1990s – have fewer power and life chances, and in particular fewer opportunities for meaning, than their predecessors in the generation of fighters and activists of the 1970s and 1980s
Die Erklärungskraft von Fallstudien
No full textSoftcover, 17x24The case studies in this volume illustrate the global dimension of flight and migration movements with a special focus on South-South migration. Thirteen chapters shed light on transcontinental or regional migration processes, as well as on long-term processes of arrival and questions of belonging. Flight and migration are social phenomena. They are embedded in individual, familial and collective histories on the level of nation states, regions, cities or we-groups. They are also closely tied up with changing border regimes and migration policies. The explanatory power of case studies stems from analyzing these complex interrelations. Case studies allow us to look at both “common” and “rare” migration phenomena, and to make systematic comparisons. On the basis of in-depth fieldwork, the authors in this volume challenge dichotomous distinctions between flight and migration, look at changing perspectives during processes of migration, consider those who stay, and counter political and media discourses which assume that Europe, or the Global North in general, is the pivot of international migration.

Please Mind the Gap: Eine kulturanthropologische Policy-Analyse der Regierung von Klima_flucht
No full textSoftcover, 17x24Asyl für Klima_flüchtlinge? Im Zuge des Klimawandels ist nicht nur in der Europäischen Union, sondern auch international eine Debatte über die Rechtsstellung von Klima_flüchtlingen entbrannt, der die Frage zugrunde liegt, welche Fluchtgründe als politisch legitim erachtet werden und welche nicht. Marlene Becker beleuchtet im Rahmen einer kulturanthropologischen Policy-Analyse die Genese der Figur des Klima_flüchtlings, untersucht die Voraussetzungen zur Entstehung politischer Handlungsräume und setzt sich mit der Wissensproduktion im Politikfeld auseinander. Die vorliegende Studie hinterfragt kritisch gängige migrationspolitische Kategorien und hegemonial gewordene Klima_fluchtdiskurse im Kontext des europäischen Grenz- und Migrationsregimes sowie der globalen Klima-Governance. Die Studie zeichnet detailreich nach, wohin sich die Debatte über Klima-Asyl entwickelt hat.Close the protection gap? In the wake of climate change, a debate has flared up not only in the European Union, but also internationally, about the legal status of climate_refugees. This debate is centered on the question which causes of flight are considered politically legitimate and which are not. Marlene Becker's anthropological policy analysis examines the genealogy of the figure of the climate_refugee, the preconditions for the emergence of policy and analyses knowledge production in these processes. The study deconstructs existing migration categories and hegemonic discourses about climate_refugees in the context of the European border and migration regime and global climate governance. The study traces in detail in which direction the debate on the rights of climate refugees has developed

Genesis, Fragmentation and Revival
No full textSoftcover, 17x24On the basis on solid fieldwork in northern Nigeria including participant observation, interviews with Izala, Sufis, and religion experts, and collection of unpublished material related to Izala, three aspects of the development of Izala past and present are analysed: its split, its relationship to Sufis, and its perception of sharīʿa re-implementation. “Field Theory” of Pierre Bourdieu, “Religious Market Theory” of Rodney Start, and “Modes of Religiosity Theory” of Harvey Whitehouse are theoretical tools of understanding the religious landscape of northern Nigeria and the dynamics of Islamic movements and groups
Eine Untersuchung aus erzählforschend-filmischer Perspektive
No full textSoftcover, 17x24Die Sturmflut von 1962 ist tief im kollektiven Gedächtnis der Stadt Hamburg verankert und die Ereignisse werden deutschlandweit erinnert. Damals starben mehr als 300 Menschen, unzählige Nutz- und Haustiere ertranken, Landwirtschaftsbetriebe, Wohn- und Geschäftshäuser wurden zerstört. Tausende Einwohner_innen der damals überfluteten Stadtteile aber haben dieses Ereignis überlebt, und viele von ihnen können noch heute davon erzählen. Von großer Bedeutung sind diese Erinnerungserzählungen, da sie den Betroffenen nach der Überwindung von Chaos und Verlusterfahrungen auch zur Herstellung von innerer Ordnung verhalfen. Die Analysen der über fünfzig Interviews verdeutlichen darüber hinaus, dass die Befragten ein profundes Erfahrungswissen eint, das – in Hinblick auf mögliche zukünftige Gefahren durch Sturmfluten beziehungsweise Hochwasser – auch eine Form von Risikobewusstsein darstellt. Somit sind die Erinnerungserzählungen Bestandteil von Cultures of Awareness. Die Ergebnisse dieser Untersuchung, welche die Methoden der volkskundlich-kulturanthropologischen Erzählforschung mit denen des ethnografischen Films verbindet, sind daher ebenfalls ein Beitrag zur aktuellen transdisziplinären Erforschung von Resilienz und Vulnerabilität. Der hier online zugänglich gemachte Dokumentarfilm Flut 1962 – Erinnern. Gedenken. Erzählen. fasst die wesentlichen Befunde der Studie zusammen und überführt sie in Bild und Ton.Working with narrated memories of the Hamburg Storm Flood of 1962, the present work pursues two goals: 1) to study autobiographical interviews about an extreme event through the lens of folkloristic/cultural anthropological narrative research, as a type of consciousness analysis; and 2) to present the major analytic results in the form of a self-produced documentary film, accompanied by text that reflects the characteristics of this type of medial representation. The following results were reached and found explication in the knowledge format film: first, photos and photo albums were central for generating narrations of these memories, and second, the master narrations could be shown to have structures and contents. Third, in the context of practices of commemorative culture, these stories may be interpreted as articulations of experiential knowledge and risk awareness – relevant with regard to potential future dangers from floods and storm floods. In its visualization of the interacting of past, present, and future, the documentary shows the potentials of commemorative practices. The study’s results build on the combination of narrative research and ethnographic-visual documentary methods and constitute a contribution to current transdisciplinary discourses regarding resilience and vulnerability
Unter besonderer Berücksichtigung der China-Symbole
No full textSoftcover, 17x24Hermann Hesse erlangte von Beginn seines literarischen Schaffens an viel Beachtung. Es gibt zahlreiche Monographien und wissenschaftliche Aufsätze über seine Werke, die meisten konzentrieren sich auf das traditionelle Forschungsparadigma der Literaturkritik. Eine kognitiv-linguistische Perspektive wurde bisher noch nicht eingenommen. Hesses Märchen erhalten wenig Beachtung, obgleich sie ausgezeichnete Werke sind und mehr Aufmerksamkeit verdient haben. Die vorliegende Arbeit rückt daher Hesses Märchen in den Mittelpunkt und wählt als methodischen Zugang eine kognitiv-linguistische Perspektive. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, die Metaphern und China-Symbole in den 15 von Hesse zwischen 1903 und 1933 geschriebenen Märchen zu identifizieren, dann die Beziehung zwischen Metapher, China-Symbolen und Märchenthemen durch eine kognitive Analyse aufzuzeigen und schließlich die Rezeption der China-Symbole in Hesses Märchen unter einer kognitiv-linguistischen Perspektive zu verstehen
Feedback im Kontext von Heterogenität
No full textSoftcover, DIN A4Im vorliegenden Band werden die im Projekt „Feedback im Kontext von Heterogenität“ (FeeHe) eingesetzten Erhebungsinstrumente dokumentiert. In FeeHe wurde im Verlauf des Schulhalbjahres 2017/2018 in Deutschkursen der gymnasialen Oberstufe an Schulen in Südniedersachsen untersucht, wie Schülerinnen und Schüler mit unterschiedlichen Lernausgangslagen die Unterrichts- und Feedbackqualität wahrnehmen und welche differenziellen Effekte die wahrgenommene Unterrichts- und Feedbackqualität auf die Lernprozesse der einzelnen Schülerinnen und Schüler hat. Mit der Skalendokumentation zum Projekt FeeHe informieren die Autorinnen in einem ersten Teil über Hintergrund, Ziele und Design des Projekts und stellen im zweiten Teil die eingesetzten Schülerfragebögen vor, mittels derer unterrichtsbezogene Merkmale, motivational-affektive Merkmale sowie kognitive und metakognitive Merkmale zu Beginn und zur Mitte des Schuljahres standardisiert erfasst wurden
Eine kommentierte Dokumentation zur Vergangenheitspolitik 1945-1990
No full textHardcover, 17x24Diese Dokumentation konzentriert sich auf eine Reihe Politikfelder, die in den öffentlichen Debatten über das „Erbe des NS-Regimes“ einen richtungsweisenden Platz einnehmen. Dies geschieht in erster Linie anhand des Leitbegriffs Vergangenheitspolitik. Die Spannweite reicht von individueller retroperspektiver Rechtfertigung über parteipolitisch durchsichtige Apologetik bis zu Eingeständnissen von Schuld und Versagen. Anhand demokratiekritischer Maßstäbe werden z. B. der „Antisemitismus nach Auschwitz“, die einschlägigen Urteile der deutschen Strafjustiz oder die Entschädigungsregelungen für Zwangsarbeiter analysiert und bewertet. Die Entschädigung der Zwangsarbeiter, die „saubere“ Wehrmacht, die Verurteilung des Holocaust in Politik und Gesellschaft, die „Auschwitz-Lüge“, die Rechtsprechung des Bundesgerichtshofs, soweit sie sich auf die NS-Justiz stützte, und die Amnestie- und Verjährungsproblematik sind weitere Themen.
Der Autor:
Michael Behnen, Professor für Neuere Geschichte an der Georg-August-Universität Göttingen (bis 2004), Herausgeber „Lexikon der deutschen Geschichte 1945-1990“ (2002).This documentary focuses on a number of policy areas that occupy a trend-setting place in the public debates on the "legacy of the Nazi regime". This is done primarily on the basis of the guiding concept of Vergangenheitspolitik. The range extends from individual retrospective justification to party-political transparent apologetics and admissions of guilt and failure. Critical standards of democracy are used to analyze and evaluate, for example, "anti-Semitism after Auschwitz", the relevant verdicts of the German criminal justice system, or the compensation regulations for forced laborers. The compensation of forced laborers, the "clean" Wehrmacht, the condemnation of the Holocaust in politics and society, the "Auschwitz lie", the case law of the Federal Court of Justice to the extent that it was based on Nazi justice, and the problems of amnesty and statute of limitations are further topics.
