Virtuelle Ethnizität; Studien zu Identität, Kultur und Internet (Paperback): Nils Zurawski Virtuelle Ethnizität; Studien zu Identität, Kultur und Internet (Paperback)
Nils Zurawski
R1,914 Discovery Miles 19 140 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Das Buch untersucht das Verhältnis von Ethnizität und Internet. Ausgehend von der Annahme, daß Ethnizität eine Ressource kollektiver Selbstorganisation sein kann, wird eine Analyse des Phänomens der Ethnizität an den Anfang gestellt. Ihr folgt die empirische Untersuchung des Zusammenhanges zwischen ethnischer/kultureller Identität und der Nutzung des Internets sowie seiner Dienste. Die Ergebnisse sind die Basis des Ansatzes der Virtuellen Ethnizität, mit dem eine Perspektive für die generelle Betrachtung der vielfältigen Beziehung zwischen Identität, Globalität und neuen Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien entworfen wird. Die Bedeutung dieses Ansatzes zeigt sich im besonderen bei Fragen der Repräsentation und der Bedeutungszuweisungen von und an Gruppen.

Bodies as Evidence - Security, Knowledge, and Power (Hardcover): Mark Maguire, Ursula Rao, Nils Zurawski Bodies as Evidence - Security, Knowledge, and Power (Hardcover)

R2,908 Discovery Miles 29 080 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

From biometrics to predictive policing, contemporary security relies on sophisticated scientific evidence-gathering and knowledge-making focused on the human body. Bringing together new anthropological perspectives on the complexities of security in the present moment, the contributors to Bodies as Evidence reveal how bodies have become critical sources of evidence that is organized and deployed to classify, recognize, and manage human life. Through global case studies that explore biometric identification, border control, forensics, predictive policing, and counterterrorism, the contributors show how security discourses and practices that target the body contribute to new configurations of knowledge and power. At the same time, margins of error, unreliable technologies, and a growing suspicion of scientific evidence in a "post-truth" era contribute to growing insecurity, especially among marginalized populations.

Der Autor arbeitet in dieser interdisziplinaren Studie Ethnizitat als ein gesellschaftsregulierendes Ordnungsprinzip heraus, welches kollektive Handlungen sowie Ein- und Ausschlussmechanismen, die an gesellschaftliche Ereignisse und Prozesse gekoppelt sind, mitbestimmen kann. Die sozialhistorischen sowie zeitgenoessischen Analysen fuhren bis ins 18. Jahrhundert zuruck, um nachzuvollziehen, wie in den teils segmentar organisierten pashtunischen Stammen uber Ethnizitat soziale Handlungen, Politik, den Islam sowie Widerstand und Konflikte bestimmt und legitimiert wird. Das Buch ist ein wichtiger Beitrag zum Verstandnis ethnischer Komplexitat und dem Widerstand der Taleban-Bewegung gegenuber der Zentralregierung Afghanistans und hilft, aktuelle ethnisch und religioes unterlegte Konflikte besser zu verstehen.

Mark Maguire, Catarina Frois, Nils Zurawski
R925 Discovery Miles 9 250 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

In a post-Cold War world of political unease and economic crisis, processes of securitisation are transforming nation-states, their citizens and non-citizens in profound ways. The book shows how contemporary Europe is now home to a vast security industry which uses biometric identification systems, CCTV and quasi-military techniques to police migrants and disadvantaged neighbourhoods. This is the first collection of anthropological studies of security with a particular but not exclusive emphasis on Europe. The Anthropology of Security draws together studies on the lived experiences of security and policing from the perspective of those most affected in their everyday lives. The anthropological perspectives in this volume stretch from the frontlines of policing and counter-terrorism to border control.
