        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.

        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.

        Memory and popular film

        by Edited by Paul Grainge

        One of the first books to put memory at the centre of analysis when exploring the relationship between film culture and the past. Provides a sustained, interdisciplinary perspective on memory and film from early cinema to the present, drawing from film studies, American studies and cultural studies. Adopts a resolutely cultural perspective and unlike psychoanalytic or formalist approaches to memory, explores questions of culture, power and identity. Contributes to the growing debate about the status and function of the past in cultural life and discourse, discussing issues of memory in film, and of film as memory. Considers such well known films as Forrest Gump, Pleasantville, and Jackie Brown.

        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.

        Revolution remembered

        Seditious memories after the British civil wars

        by Edward Legon, Jason Peacey

        After the Restoration, parliamentarians continued to identify with the decisions to oppose and resist crown and established church. This was despite the fact that expressing such views between 1660 and 1688 was to open oneself to charges of sedition or treason. This book uses approaches from the field of memory studies to examine 'seditious memories' in seventeenth-century Britain, asking why people were prepared to take the risk of voicing them in public. It argues that such activities were more than a manifestation of discontent or radicalism - they also provided a way of countering experiences of defeat. Besides speech and writing, parliamentarian and republican views are shown to have manifested as misbehaviour during official commemorations of the civil wars and republic. The book also considers how such views were passed on from the generation of men and women who experienced civil war and revolution to their children and grandchildren.
