The word 'diaspora' has leapt from its previously confined use - mainly concerned with the dispersion of Jews, Greeks, Armenians and Africans away from their natal homelands - to cover the cases of many other ethnic groups, nationalities and religions. But this 'horizontal' scattering of the word to cover the mobility of many groups to many destinations, has been paralleled also by 'vertical' leaps, with the word diaspora being deployed to cover more and more phenomena and serve more and more objectives of different actors. With sections on 'debating the concept', 'complexity', 'home and home-making', 'connections' and 'critiques', the Routledge Handbook of Diaspora Studies is likely to remain an authoritative reference for some time. Each contribution includes a targeted list of references for further reading. The editors have carefully blended established scholars of diaspora with younger scholars looking at how diasporas are constructed 'from below'. The adoption of a variety of conceptual perspectives allows for generalization, contrasts and comparisons between cases. In this exciting and authoritative collection over 40 scholars from many countries have explored the evolving use of the concept of diaspora, its possibilities as well as its limitations. This Handbook will be indispensable for students undertaking essays, debates and dissertations in the field.

Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2010 im Fachbereich Sozialpadagogik / Sozialarbeit, Note: 2,1, Duale Hochschule Baden-Wurttemberg, Ravensburg, fruher: Berufsakademie Ravensburg, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Diese Arbeit beinhaltet Erklarungen fur einen Amoklauf an Schulen und beschaftigt sich weiterhin mit der Frage, inwieweit die Sozialarbeit dazu beitragen kann, in direktem Kontakt mit potenziellen Tatern und deren Umfeld, einen Amoklauf zu verhindern. Nach einem konkreten Fallbeispiel werden die wichtigsten Begriffe wie Amoklauf und School Shooting erklart. Der soziale Stellenwert dieses Themas wird dann anhand von gesellschaftlichen Befunden wie dem Setting Schule oder der Gesetzeslage in Deutschland verdeutlicht. Mit Hilfe verschiedener Studien wird dann das Phanomen des Amoklaufs an Schulen genauer betrachtet und interpretiert. In einem weiteren Teil wird das Phanomen des Amoklaufs auch bezuglich soziologischer und psychologischer Erklarungsansatze untersucht, die neben der Thematik der Phantasie auch kriminologische Kontrolltheorien beinhalten. Besondere Beachtung finden auch Nachahmungstaten und Medien, um damit schliesslich die Grundlagen der moglichen Pravention zu bilden. Im Anschluss werden diese Erklarungsansatze auf den Beispielfall angewendet. Als nachster Punkt der Arbeit wird die Auswirkung auf die Betroffenen, im Sinne der Traumabewaltigung behandelt. In einem weiteren Schritt werden die Moglichkeiten der Pravention und Intervention durch Soziale Arbeit naher betrachtet. Besondere Beachtung findet dabei neben den Praventionsmodellen die primarpraventive Arbeit und die auf das Fallbeispiel bezogenen Praventions- und Interventionsmoglichkeiten
