        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.

        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.«

        Rhythm of Heartbreak. Verdammte Liebe

        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

        Art history

        A critical introduction to its methods

        by Michael Hatt, Charlotte Klonk

        Art History: A critical introduction to its methods provides a lively and stimulating introduction to methodological debates within art history. Offering a lucid account of approaches from Hegel to post-colonialism, the book provides a sense of art history's own history as a discipline from its emergence in the late-eighteenth century to contemporary debates. By explaining the underlying philosophical and political assumptions behind each method, along with clear examples of how these are brought to bear on visual and historical analysis, the authors show that an adherence to a certain method is, in effect, a commitment to a set of beliefs and values. The book makes a strong case for the vitality of the discipline and its methodological centrality to new fields such as visual culture. This book will be of enormous value to undergraduate and graduate students, and also makes its own contributions to ongoing scholarly debates about theory and method. ;

        Affective intimacies

        by Marjo Kolehmainen, Kinneret Lahad, Annukka Lahti

        This volume provides a novel platform to re-evaluate the notion of open-ended intimacies through the lens of affect theories. Contributors address the embodied, affective and psychic, sensorial and embodied aspects of their ongoing intimate entanglements across various timely phenomena. This fascinating collection asks how the study of affect enables us to rethink intimacies, what affect theories can do to the prevailing notion of intimacy and how do they renew and enrich theories of intimacy in a manner which also considers its normative and violent forms. Lively and thought-provoking, this collection contributes to timely topics across the social sciences, representing multiple disciplines from gender studies, sociology and cultural studies to anthropology and queer studies. By so doing, it advances the value of interdisciplinary perspectives and creative methodologies to understanding affective intimacies.

        The Patient Catchers

        How we are talked into illness

        by Michelle Hildebrandt

        The health market seems to have been unleashed, more and more actors, indications, methods compete for attention. Dr. Michelle Hildebrandt shows how companies, but also doctors and alternative medicine are “catching” patients out of economic interests – and how we are happy to put up with that. So more and more people are being treated unnecessarily or incorrectly with medicine and therapies, while at the same time rogue providers are propagating sometimes dangerous methods instead of calling for life-saving diagnostics. Knowledge is needed in order for patients to overcome their self-inflicted immaturity. Michelle Hildebrandt‘s book makes an important contribution to this.

        by Martin Hautzinger/Patrick Pössel

        Cognitive interventions and therapeutic techniques play a central role in psychotherapy, regardless of the type of disorder that is being treated. The methods that therapists have at their disposition can be divided into thought control techniques, cognitive restructuring, and metacognitive interventions, which can be supplemented by mindfulness intervention and emotion regulation techniques.   This title provides the reader with a comprehensive introduction into cognitive interventions and recommendations on diagnostic methods that derive from the interventions. Case studies illustrate the different steps of each procedure.   Target Group: students of psychology or medicine, psychotherapists, specialists for psychiatry and psychotherapy, specialists for psychosomatic medicine, clinical psychologists, and coaches
