This book is about the making and unmaking of socio- cultural
differences, seen from anthropological, sociological, and
philosophical perspectives. Some contributions are of a theoretical
nature, such as when the "problem of translation," "the enigma of
alienity," or "queer theory" are addressed; others shed light on
contemporary issues, such as the integration of Muslims in Norway,
identity-forming processes in Creole societies or
neo-traditionalist movements and identity in Africa. Moreover, the
book deals with strangers looked at from an "anthropology of the
night" perspective. Special emphasis is placed on how globalization
and the rapid spread of increasingly new technologies of
information have generated new patterns of inclusion and exclusion,
and how these can be theorized.
Richard Rottenburg and Burkhard Schnepel are both professors of
cultural anthropology. Shingo Shimada holds a chair in
Intercultural Sociology at the newly founded Institute for
Ethnology (Cultural Anthropolgy) at Martin-Luther University,
Halle-Wittenberg. The editors areas of interest include:
anthropology of law, organization, science and technology in
Africa, diaspora-migration-transculture, and intercultural
comparison/translation/intercultural understanding.
