The chapters in this volume have been selected from the best papers presented at the 9th Annual Consumer Culture Theory Conference held at the home of Aalto University in Finland in June 2014. The theme of the conference was Mapping Consumer Culture. The diverse interpretive research and theory represented in this volume provides the reader with intellectually stimulating opportunities to examine the intersections between a variety of theories and methods that represent the cutting edge in consumer research. These studies draw on an array of qualitative methodologies including ethnography, netnography, narrative and visual analysis, phenomenology, and semiotics. The substantive topics represent crucial issues for our times including understanding and navigating cultural diversity and cultural perspectives on co-creating market value.

Dieses Buch befasst sich mit der "Elfes-Konstruktion", einer Figur aus der Rechtsprechung des Bundesverfassungsgerichts, die es ermoeglicht, verschiedenste Verfassungsverstoesse als Grundrechtsverletzungen geltend zu machen. Statt eine weitere interpretative Herleitung zu entwerfen, nutzt der Autor deskriptive Methoden wie die Strukturanalyse und die Analyse von Bedeutungsmoeglichkeiten, deren generelle Vorzugswurdigkeit er begrundet. Dabei stutzt er sich auf Arbeiten "Kelsens" sowie Erwagungen zur Sprachtheorie. Der Autor analysiert insbesondere die logisch-semantischen Strukturen der "Elfes-Konstruktion" in ihren verschiedenen Varianten. Er zeigt auf, dass deren Rechtsfolgen auf die prozessuale Ebene beschrankt sind und dass das Verfassungsrecht weitere der "Elfes-Konstruktion" vergleichbare Strukturen aufweist.

The popular image of the Kalahari is a romantic one of desert space and untouched Bushmen. The popular image of the Afrikaners is of a unique and vicious racialism. Yet Afrikaners have been living in the Kalahari for more than a hundred years, their presence often studiously ignored by writers; and since 1961 independent Botswana with its policy of scrupulous non-racialism has embraced both Afrikaner and Bushman in common citizenship. This book attempts to describe the complex and mundane reality of ethnic relations in the Kalahari, not only in the present, harried by relentless pressure to enter the cash economy of modernisation, but in the past. Using oral history as a source, the authors describe the 'Africanisation' of these poor white pastoralists of the interior, cut off by the thirstland from those influences which gave contemporary Afrikanerdom its particular cast. They describe the pragmatic relations developed by Afrikaners with other peoples of the interior, and how these have been perceived and redefined with the decisive shift in political power from British to Tswana hands.
