        An Historical Atlas of Staffordshire

        by A. D. M. Phillips, C. B. Phillips

        Within its ancient boundaries, Staffordshire is a county of diverse and contrasting historic landscapes. World-renowned industrial complexes sit alongside agricultural systems; castles rub shoulders with urban-industrial housing; the cathedral centre of a vast diocese lies close to the birthplace of primitive Methodism; overtly planned landscapes mingle with the uplands of the Moorlands and the heathlands of Cannock Chase. These many and varied landscapes are both products and reflections of a multiplicity of histories, and students of the county have been keen to explore and relate these pasts. However, no systematic attempt has previously been made to express these accounts in spatial form. This book seeks to demonstrate by maps the various histories that contribute to the diversity of Staffordshire. With its succinct discussions and detailed map presentations of these themes, incorporating new thinking and recent research, the atlas provides an innovative and major contribution to the study of the history of Staffordshire. ;

        Methode und Messung in der Soziologie

        by Aaron V. Cicourel, Frigga Haug

        Die Schwierigkeit in verschiedenen Bereichen sozilogischer Forschungstechnik, die Cicourel untersucht, beruht unter anderem darauf, daß der Sozialwissenschaftler bei der Anwendung seiner Methoden - Inhaltsanalyse, Befragung, teilnehmende Beobachtung usw. - »aus der Rolle des kommunizierenden Mitspielers nicht ganz heraustreten kann« (Habermas). Nach Habermas ist Cicourels Verdienst, die Probleme von Methode und Messung nicht auf die Ebene der Forschungstechnik abgeschoben, sondern erkenntnistheoretisch ins Bewußtsein gehoben zu haben.

        Die Regeln der soziologischen Methode

        by Emile Durkheim, René König, René König, René König

        In seiner umfangreichen Einleitung, einer zusammenfassenden Darstellung der Wirkung Durkheims, sagt René König über die Bedeutung der Regeln der soziologischen Methode: »Wir sind der Überzeugung, daß in diesem Buch Durkheims eine ähnlich wichtige Schöpfung für die Soziologie vorliegt wie in Descartes` Discours de la méthode von 1637 für die allgemeine Philosophie, ohne daß man jedoch darum behaupten wollte, daß sich die Philosophie insgesamt darin erschöpfte, eine Entfaltung des Cartesianismus zu sein. Gewiß, ohne Descartes kommt man in die neuzeitliche Philosophie nicht hinein; sein methodischer Zweifel eröffnet alleresrt jene Dimension des Denkens, die das neuzeitliche Philosophieren vom mittelalterlichen Interpretieren abhebt. Aber gerade damit beginnt auch die definitive und nicht mehr aufhebbare Abwendung von der Alten Welt; zunehmend entdeckt das neue Denken sein autonomes dialektisches Gesetz und sieht sich nicht mehr in methodisch bedingter Abwehrstellung gegen das Gewesene, sondern in seinem eigenen Element. Ähnlich kommt man ohne Durkheim nicht in die Soziologie hinein; sein Grundsatz, ›Soziales nur durch Soziales zu erklären‹, ist der Beginn aller Soziologie als selbstständiger Wissenschaft.«

        by Schulz, Heike

        ***Wer bist du, wenn jeder deine Songs kennt, aber niemand weiß, wer hinter der Maske steckt?*** Alexander ist ein gefeierter Star und wird mit etwas Glück in wenigen Wochen mindestens einen Echo abräumen. Bekannt unter dem Künstlernamen Quidamned ist er Deutschlands erfolgreichster Rapper. Regelmäßig bricht er alle Rekorde - und das obwohl niemand weiß, wer sich hinter der Pestmaske verbirgt, die er bei all seinen Auftritten trägt. Nicht mal die vielen unverbindlichen Affären, die ständig in seinem Bett landen, kennen sein Gesicht. Aber als ein heftiger Skandal sein Image ins Wanken bringt, ist die Jagd auf seine Identität eröffnet. Ihm bleibt keine andere Wahl, als abzutauchen. Reporter, Fans … das ganze Land sucht den Mann hinter der Maske, der in ein kleines Eifeldorf flüchtet, wo die "Goldene Aussicht" zu seinem Versteck wird. Doch der Versuch, sich dort völlig abzuschotten, scheitert, als er auf die Tochter der Pensionsbesitzer trifft. Es passiert, was er nie für möglich gehalten hätte: Der sonst so unnahbare Rapper hat nur noch Augen für Eine. Maxime. Aber Maxime hat keine Ahnung, wer er wirklich ist. Wie auch, wenn er es selbst nicht weiß? Während Maximes Vertrauen in ihn zunehmend auf die Probe gestellt wird, muss Alexander sich entscheiden: Will er weitermachen wie bisher oder für sein wahres Ich und seine Liebe kämpfen? #Lovesong, #Herzschmerz, #dieganzgroßeLiebe, #wechselndePerspektiven, #Schmökeralarm, #Lesefieber, #MusicLove

        Gendered urban violence among Brazilians

        Painful truths from Rio de Janeiro and London

        by Cathy McIlwaine, Paul Heritage, Miriam Krenzinger Azambuja, Moniza Rizzini Ansari, Eliana Sousa Silva, Yara Evans

        This book aims to examine the nature of and resistance to gendered urban violence among Brazilian women in London and in the favelas of Maré, Rio de Janeiro. Drawing on the conceptualisation of translocational gendered urban violence framework, it highlights the importance of examining direct forms of gender-based violence across private, public and transnational spheres as interlinked with structural, symbolic and infrastructural violence. The book also explores the embodied and spatialised nature of gendered urban violence, explored through artistic engagements and arts-based methods. In developing a translocational feminist tracing methodological and epistemological approach across the social sciences and the arts, the book argues for the importance of a collaborative approach among academic, civil society organisations, artists and creative researchers with a view to engendering empathetic transformation to address gendered urban violence in the long-term.
