The Sociology of Knowledge Approach to Discourse (SKAD) has
reoriented research into social forms, structuration and processes
of meaning construction and reality formation; doing so by linking
social constructivist and pragmatist approaches with
post-structuralist thinking in order to study discourses and create
epistemological space for analysing processes of world-making in
culturally diverse environments. SKAD is anchored in interpretive
traditions of inquiry and allows for broadening - and possibly
overcoming - of the epistemological biases and restrictions still
common in theories and approaches of Western- and Northern-centric
social sciences. An innovative volume, this book is exactly
attentive to these empirically based, globally diverse further
developments of approach, with a clear focus on the methodology and
its implementation. Thus, The Sociology of Knowledge Approach to
Discourse presents itself as a research program and locates the
approach within the context of interpretive social sciences,
followed by eleven chapters on different cases from around the
world that highlight certain theoretical questions and
methodological challenges. Presenting outstanding applications of
the Sociology of Knowledge Approach to Discourse across a wide
variety of substantive projects and regional contexts, this text
will appeal to postgraduate students and researchers interested in
fields such as Discourse Studies, Sociology, Cultural Studies and
Qualitative Methodology and Methods.
This Open Access book on Ocean Governance examines sustainability
challenges facing our oceans today. The book is organized into
three sections: knowledge systems, policy foundations and thematic
analyses. The knowledge produced in the book was catalyzed by the
scientific outcomes within the European-funded Cooperation in
Science and Technology (COST) network "Ocean Governance for
Sustainability - Challenges, Options and the Role of Science". This
network brings together scientists, policy-makers and civil society
representatives from 28 nation states to cooperate on ocean
governance research. This book offers a compilation of new research
material including focused case studies, broad policy syntheses and
reflective chapters on the history and current status of knowledge
production systems on ocean governance. New research material is
presented, although some chapters draw on secondary sources. The
book starts with synthetic review chapters from the editors,
outlining past and present knowledge systems, addressing how and
why ocean governance for sustainability is where it currently
stands with critical reflections on existing narratives, path
dependencies and colonialist histories. This is followed by
chapters addressing, synthesizing and analyzing different legal and
policy frameworks for ocean governance both regionally and
internationally. At the core of the book are the thematic analyses,
which provide focused case studies with detailed contextual
information in support of different ocean governance challenges and
sustainability pathways around the world. The book concludes with a
chapter explicitly targeting students, researchers and
policy-makers with key take-away messages compiled by the editors.
In this pioneering volume, leading scholars from a diversity of
backgrounds in the humanities, social sciences, and different area
studies argue for a more differentiated and self-reflected role of
area-based science in global knowledge production. Considering that
the mobility of people, goods, and ideas make the world more
complex and geographically fixed categories increasingly obsolete,
the authors call for a reflection of this new dynamism in research,
teaching, and theorizing. The book thus moves beyond the
constructed divide between area studies and systematic disciplines
and instead proposes methodological and conceptual ways for
encouraging the integration of marginalized and often overseen
epistemologies. Essays on the ontological, theoretical, and
pedagogical dimension of area studies highlight how people's
everyday practices of mobility challenge scholars, students, and
practitioners of inter- and transdisciplinary area studies to
transcend the cognitive boundaries that scholarly minds currently
operate in.

The Straits of Malacca are one of the world's most important
shipping lanes connecting Europe, the Middle East, and East and
Southeast Asia. This volume throws new light on the Straits of
Malacca region by highlighting its cultural and bio-diversity,
knowledge-based development, and economic hazards and
opportunities.
Der Band behandelt in interdisziplinarer Perspektive Widerspruch
unter anderem als einen konzeptionellen Anker von Diskursanalyse
und -theorie. Widerspruch ist eine Figur der Ordnung von Wissen und
damit Ausdruck von Machtverhaltnissen. Akteur*innen, die
Widerspruche identifizieren und als solche erst wahrnehmbar machen,
sind ebenso in Dynamiken der Widerspruchsdeklaration verwoben wie
das, was in einer Zeit als widerspruchlich bestimmt und bezeichnet
wird. Die performative Dimension von Widerspruch unter Einschluss
des Widersprechens verweist auf historische Normalitatsproduktionen
und soziale Hierarchien, in denen das Widerspruchliche stets als
Anlass zu seiner Aufloesung verstanden wird.
Southeast Asia is a laboratory showing current worldwide ecological
issues. Environmental change, natural resource exploitation as well
as global climate change increasingly threaten people's
livelihoods. Environmentally-based uncertainties foster a high
level of knowledge uncertainty. This poses a constantly growing
threat to agricultural production. Vulnerable communities with a
low degree of resilience are most severely affected. But local
communities have abilities to innovate and develop locally embedded
coping strategies. The contributors of this volume are most
interested in environmental change that fosters knowledge
uncertainties. Regions discussed include the Mekong Delta in
Vietnam, Moluccas, Central Kalimantan, West Sumatra and South
Sulawesi in Indonesia and Tangail Region in Bangladesh.
