Events are "generative moments" in at least three senses: events
are created by and condense larger-scale social structures; as
moments, they spark and give rise to new social processes; in
themselves, events may also serve to analyze social situations and
relationships. Based on ethnographic studies from around the
world-varying from rituals and meetings over protests and conflicts
to natural disasters and management-this volume analyzes generative
moments through events that hold the key to understanding larger
social situations. These events-including the Ashura ritual in
Bahrain, social cleavages in South Africa, a Buddhist cave in
Nepal, drought in Burkina Faso, an earthquake in Pakistan, the
cartoon crisis in Denmark, corporate management at Bang &
Olufsen, protest meetings in Europe, and flooding and urban
citizenship in Mozambique-are not simply destructive disasters,
crises, and conflicts, but also generative and constitutive of the
social.
