        Peace and the politics of memory

        by Annika Björkdahl, Susanne Buckley-Zistel, Stefanie Kappler, Johanna Mannergren Selimovic, Timothy Williams

        This important book provides new understandings of how the politics of memory impacts peace in societies transitioning from a violent past. It does so by developing a theoretical approach focusing on the intersection of sites, agency, narratives, and events in memory-making. Drawing on rich empirical studies of mnemonic formations in Cyprus, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Rwanda, South Africa and Cambodia, the book speaks to a broad audience. The in-depth, cross-case analysis shows that inclusivity, pluralism, and dignity in memory politics are key to the construction of a just peace. The book contributes crucial and timely knowledge about societies that grapple with the painful legacies of the past and advances the study of memory and peace.

        Die Fabrikation von Erkenntnis

        Zur Anthropologie der Wissenschaft | 50 Jahre stw – Limitierte Jubiläumsausgabe

        by Karin Knorr Cetina, Rom Harré

        Wie entsteht eine wissenschaftliche Tatsache? Wie stellt sich naturwissenschaftliche Kreativität dar, wenn man sie im Labor des Naturwissenschaftlers beobachtet? Wie verhält sich die handwerkliche Arbeit der Forscherin zu dem, was im veröffentlichten wissenschaftlichen Text steht? Karin Knorr Cetina geht durch das Labor mit den Augen einer Anthropologin, die die Sitten und Gebräuche einer fremden Ethnie mit der Distanz, aber auch der Sympathie des Mitglieds einer anderen Kultur studiert. Dabei zeigt sich, dass man das Unternehmen Wissenschaft mit idealisierten epistemologischen Begriffen nicht besonders gut zu fassen bekommt. Es muss vielmehr aus der Alltagswelt wissenschaftlicher Handarbeit rekonstruiert werden. Ein Klassiker der Wissenschaftssoziologie.

        Graveyard Gothic

        by Eric Parisot, David McAllister, Xavier Aldana Reyes

        Graveyard Gothic is the first sustained consideration of the graveyard as a key Gothic locale. This volume examines various iterations of the Gothic graveyard (and other burial sites) from the eighteenth century to the twenty-first, as expressed in numerous forms of culture and media including poetry, fiction, TV, film and video games. The volume also extends its geographic scope beyond British traditions to accommodate multiple cultural perspectives, including those from the US, Mexico, Japan, Australia, India and Eastern Europe. The seventeen chapters from key international Gothic scholars engage a range of theoretical frameworks, including the historical, material, colonial, political and religious. With a critical introduction offering a platform for further scholarship and a coda mapping potential future critical and cultural developments, Graveyard Gothic is a landmark volume defining a new area of Gothic studies.

        The memory of catastrophe

        by Peter Gray, Kendrick Oliver

        Investigates the dynamic relationship between experiences of profound social and cultural disruption, and human memory. Critical comparisons are made across a wide variety of catastrophic experiences and memories; not just of war, but also of massacre, genocide, rebellion, famine, partition, shipwreck and fire. The book is an accessible showcase for a wide range of methodological approaches to the study of memory, including literary studies, cultural studies, participant-observation and historical studies, and uses a variety of oral, visual and written sources. Offers a diverse chronological and geographical range of catastrophic cases, from seventeenth-century England to the recent conflicts in the former Yugoslavia, from Ireland to the Indian sub-continent, from Mexico to wartime Leningrad. Well-written and accessible - a fascinating read. ;
