Rituals and customs from Los Angeles' eastside gangs, including hand signals, graffiti, and clothing styles, have spread to small towns and big cities alike.

Vergemeinschaftung in Zeiten Der Zombie-Apokalypse: Gesellschaftskonstruktionen Am Fantastischen Anderen
ISBN: 9783658017217 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 375 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. TV-Serien haben in den letzten Jahren explosionsartig an kultureller Bedeutung gewonnen. Sie haben den Film als fuhrendes Unterhaltungsmedium und damit auch als Mittel zur sozialen Distinktion langst abgelost. Literatur-, Medien- und Kommunikationswissenschaften haben diesen Bedeutungsgewinn erkannt und parallel dazu Fernsehforschung zu einem neuen Schwerpunkt entwickelt, besonders im englischsprachigen Raum. Dieser Band mochte einen Beitrag dazu leisten, die bestehenden Beschaftigungen der Fernsehforschung an die Sozialwissenschaft anzubinden und die Diskussion im deutschsprachigen Raum...

Mobilizing Piety: Islam and Feminism in Indonesia
ISBN: 9780199948123 / Angielski / Miękka / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Islam and feminism are often thought of as incompatible. Through a vivid ethnography of Muslim and secular women activists in Jakarta, Indonesia, Rachel Rinaldo shows that this is not always the case. Examining a feminist NGO, Muslim women's organizations, and a Muslim political party, Rinaldo reveals that democratization and the Islamic revival in Indonesia are shaping new forms of personal and political agency for women. These unexpected kinds of agency draw on different approaches to interpreting religious texts and facilitate different repertoires of collective action - one oriented...

Jesus sent His disciples into the world as sheep among wolves, instructing them to be -as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves- (Matt. 10:16). In Using the Psychology of Attraction in Christian Outreach: Lessons from the Dark Side, Wendy L.

ISBN: 9783531162140 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 337 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Die literatursoziologische Diskussion hat in den letzten Jahren wichtige Impulse erhalten. Diese kommen sowohl aus der Literaturwissenschaft als auch aus den Sozialwissenschaften, wo neue Ansatze (Systemtheorie, Bourdieus Kultursoziologie, Cultural Studies u.v.m.) neue Zugangsweisen zur Literatur eroffnen. Die Autoren stellen die Vielfalt dieser Entwicklungen vor dem Hintergrund der "klassischen" literatursoziologischen Paradigmen leicht verstandlich dar und diskutieren sie kritisch. Neben den Theorien zur Soziologie von Produktion, Text, Rezeption und literarischem Feld wird das Problem der...

Charming Beauties and Frightful Beasts
ISBN: 9781908049582 / Angielski / Twarda / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Discussions on non-human animals, other-than-human persons and religion originally emerged within the context of Christian theology, eco-theology and Western-based environmentalism. In response to that, and by adhering to post-modern discourses on, for instance, indigeneity, mimicry and hybridity, the volume explores South Asian cultural manifestations and aspects of localised knowledge in relation to the construction and the Otherisation of the concept of body and behaviour in non-human animals. The study of non-human animals as other-than-human persons (actual animals, but also...

Wenn Das Leben Religiös Macht: Altersabhängige Veränderungen Der Kirchlichen Religiosität Im Lebensverlauf
ISBN: 9783658026356 / Niemiecki / Miękka / 242 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Bereits die Alltagsbeobachtung zeigt, dass die Kirchen uberwiegend von alteren Menschen besucht werden. Dies ist einerseits durch einen Kohorteneffekt erklarbar: Altere Menschen wurden haufig noch in verstarktem Masse religios erzogen und diese in der Sozialisation erworbenen Pragungen bleiben moglicherweise ein Leben lang erhalten. Andererseits ist denkbar, dass Menschen im Laufe ihres Lebens zunehmend dazu tendieren, einer Glaubensgemeinschaft anzugehoren und den Gottesdienst zu besuchen. Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht mit Hilfe von Daten des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (SOEP), ob ein...

The Politics of Truth Management in Saudi Arabia
ISBN: 9780415711401 / Angielski / Twarda / 194 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Exploring the management of 'truth' in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, this book aims to investigate the ways in which the official 'truth' is constructed and institutionalised in the country. The Politics of Truth Management in Saudi Arabia argues that there are two interrelated notions which articulate the ways in which 'truth' is conceptualised in Islam. One, at macro level, constitutes the trans-historical foundational principles of the religion, a set of engrained beliefs, which establish the 'finality', and 'oneness' of Islam in relation to other competing narratives. The other, at a micro...

Beyond Religion: The Cultural Evolution of the Sense of the Sacred: From Shamanism to Religion to Post-Religious Spirituality
ISBN: 9781584201519 / Angielski / Miękka / 108 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In an age of religious fundamentalist violence around the world, it is heartening to read poet and cultural historian William Irwin's Thompson's contention that a new form of post-religious spirituality is emerging in our planetary civilization, one that is more appropriate to our new electronic and globally interconnected noetic polities. This little book is a Vade Mecum of the cultural evolutionary news to keep in one's pocket to read along with the day's emotionally manipulative political news.

Celibacy and Religious Traditions
ISBN: 9780195306316 / Angielski / Twarda / 336 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. If sexuality is inherently social, the same thing can be said about celibacy. An understanding of celibacy, argues Carl Olson, can be a useful way to view the significance of the human body within a social context. The purpose of this book is to examine how the practice of celibacy differs cross-culturally as well as historically within a particular religious tradition. The essays (all previously unpublished) will demonstrate that celibacy is a complex religious phenomenon. The control of sexual desire can be used to divorce oneself from a basic human biological drive, to separate oneself...

Managing Monks
ISBN: 9780195326840 / Angielski / Twarda Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The paradigmatic Buddhist is the monk. It is well known that ideally Buddhist monks are expected to meditate and study -- to engage in religious practice. The institutional structure which makes this concentration on spiritual cultivation possible is the monastery. But as a bureaucratic institution, the monastery requires administrators to organize and manage its functions, to prepare quiet spots for meditation, to arrange audiences for sermons, or simply to make sure food, rooms, and bedding are provided. The valuations placed on such organizational roles were, however, a subject of...
