Ingres Then, and Now
by Adrian RifkinIngres Then, and Now is an innovative study of one of the best-known French artists of the nineteenth century, Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres. Adrian Rifkin re-evaluates Ingres' work in the context of a variety of literary, musical and visual cultures which are normally seen as alien to him. Re-viewing Ingres' paintings as a series of fragmentary symptoms of the commodity cultures of nineteenth-century Paris, Adrian Rifkin draws the artist away from his familiar association with the Academy and the Salon.Rifkin sets out to show how, by thinking of the historical archive as a form of the unconscious, we can renew our understanding of nineteenth-century conservative or academic cultures by reading them against their 'other'. He situates Ingres in the world of the Parisian Arcades, as represented by Walter Benjamin, and examines the effect of this juxtaposition on how we think of Benjamin himself, following Ingres' image in popular cultures of the twentieth century. Rifkin then returns to the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries to find traces of the emergence of bizarre symptoms in Ingres' early work, symptoms which open him to a variety of conflicting readings and appropriations. It concludes by examining his importance for the great French art critic Jean Cassou on the one hand, and in making a bold, contemporary gay appropriation on the other.Ingres Then, and Now transforms the popular image we have of Ingres. It argues that the figure of the artist is neither fixed in time or place - there is neither an essential man named Ingres, nor a singular body of his work - but is an effect of many, complex and overlapping historical effects.
Innere Sicherheit im Politischen System der Bundesrepublik Deutschland (Studien zur Inneren Sicherheit #2)
by Hans-Jürgen LangeDas Buch rekonstruiert in Form einer Politikfeldstudie die internen Entscheidungsprozesse im System der "Inneren Sicherheit". Die Studie behandelt die Sicherheitseinrichtungen in der EU, im Bund und in den Ländern am Beispiel des Landes NRW. Parallel zur ökonomischen Integration ist auf der europäischen Ebene verstärkt seit 1985 ein umfassender Sicherheitsverbund entstanden. Der europäische Sicherheitsverbund beginnt zunehmend damit, die nationalstaatlich angelegten Systeme der "inneren" Sicherheit zu verändern. Das Buch zeigt auf, mit welchen Strategien und mit welchen Konsequenzen die Sicherheitseinrichtungen von Bund und Ländern in der Bundesrepublik auf die veränderten Bedingungen institutionspolitisch "reagieren". Innere Sicherheit ist hierbei als ein Netzwerk unterschiedlicher Akteurskoalitionen zu verstehen, die darum ringen, Steuerungskompetenzen im Politikfeld zu erlangen. Das Buch behandelt auf der Grundlage einer handlungstheoretisch geleiteten empirischen Rekonstruktion die bislang kaum thematisierte Bedeutung von korporatistischen Aushandlungen zwischen Regierung und Verwaltung einerseits, miteinander konkurrierenden Polizeiverbänden andererseits, die die Politik der Inneren Sicherheit bestimmen. Für diese Studie hat der Autor den Wissenschaftspreis der Polizeiführungsakademie in Münster-Hiltrup verliehen bekommen.
Innovation, Networks and Localities (Advances in Spatial Science)
by Manfred M. Fischer Luis Suarez-Villa Michael SteinerThe relationship between innovation, networks and localities is of central concern for many nations. However, despite increasing interest in the components of this research triangle, efforts in these fields are hampered by a lackofconceptual and empirical insights. This volume brings together contributions from a distinguished group of scholars working in different but related disciplines, and aims to provide a fresh look at this research triangle. The objective is to offer a concise overview of current developments and insights derived from recent studies in Europe and North America. All of the contributions are based on original research undertaken in the various regions and nations and are published here for the first time. We are grateful to all those who have contributed to this volume for their willingness to participate in the project. Without their co-operation this book would not have been possible. We should like, in addition, to thank Angela Spence for her careful linguistic editing and assistance in co-ordinating the production of the camera ready copy. Lastly, but not least, we wish to express our gratitude for support from our home institutions, and in particular the Austrian Academy of Sciences (Institute for Urban and Regional Research), the Austrian Ministry for Science and Transport, the Styrian Government (Section for Science and Research) and the Federation of Austrian Industry in Styria for the financial backing received.

Innovationspolitik in globalisierten Arenen: Neue Aufgaben für Forschung und Lehre: Forschungs-, Technologie- und Innovationspolitik im Wandel
by Klaus Grimmer Stefan Kuhlmann Frieder Meyer-KrahmerPolitik soll durch Innovationen in Wirtschaft und Technik, im Sozialbereich, im Umweltschutz oder im Bildungsbereich die gesellschaftliche Entwicklung positiv fördern. Welche Unterstützung bietet die Politikwissenschaft? Stellt sie gesicherte Theorien über Innovationsmöglichkeiten oder zumindest gute Ratschläge zu Verfügung? Letzteres geschieht in sehr unterschiedlicher Form. Gesichertes Wissen, systematisch aufbereitet, gibt es bislang wenig. Innovationspolitik muß erst noch ein - interdisziplinär arbeitendes Fach - der Politikwissenschaft werden. Ein Kreis renommierter in- und ausländischer Wissenschaftler behandelt die Thematik unter dem übergreifenden Thema Globalisierung und politische Handlungsspielräume.
Insecure Prosperity: Small-Town Jews in Industrial America, 1890-1940
by Ewa MorawskaThis captivating story of the Jewish community in Johnstown, Pennsylvania reveals a pattern of adaptation to American life surprisingly different from that followed by Jewish immigrants to metropolitan areas. Although four-fifths of Jewish immigrants did settle in major cities, another fifth created small-town communities like the one described here by Ewa Morawska. Rather than climbing up the mainstream education and occupational success ladder, the Jewish Johnstowners created in the local economy a tightly knit ethnic entrepreneurial niche and pursued within it their main life goals: achieving a satisfactory standard of living against the recurrent slumps in local mills and coal mines and enjoying the company of their fellow congregants. Rather than secularizing and diversifying their communal life, as did Jewish immigrants to larger cities, they devoted their energies to creating and maintaining an inclusive, multipurpose religious congregation. Morawska begins with an extensive examination of Jewish life in the Eastern European regions from which most of Johnstown's immigrants came, tracing features of culture and social relations that they brought with them to America. After detailing the process by which migration from Eastern Europe occurred, Morawska takes up the social organization of Johnstown, the place of Jews in that social order, the transformation of Jewish social life in the city, and relations between Jews and non-Jews. The resulting work will appeal simultaneously to students of American history, of American social life, of immigration, and of Jewish experience, as well as to the general reader interested in any of these topics.
Inside the Citadel: Men and the Emancipation of Women 1850-1920
by R. SymondsThis book discusses the contribution of individual men to the emancipation of women between 1860 and 1920. These include the pioneer of feminism, J.S. Mill, the allies of Josephine Butler, the men who risked imprisonment for making available information on contraception and sympathetic writers such as Meredith and Shaw. There are also chapters on the suffrage, education, religion, medicine and entry to other professions. The role of men in the removal of women's social disabilities is described as well as Gandhi's innovative involvement of women in the independence movement.
The Insistence of the Indian: Race and Nationalism in Nineteenth-Century American Culture
by Susan ScheckelAmericans' first attempts to forge a national identity coincided with the apparent need to define--and limit--the status and rights of Native Americans. During these early decades of the nineteenth century, the image of the "Indian" circulated throughout popular culture--in the novels of James Fenimore Cooper, plays about Pocahontas, Indian captivity narratives, Black Hawk's autobiography, and visitors' guides to the national capitol. In exploring such sources as well as the political and legal rhetoric of the time, Susan Scheckel argues that the "Indian question" was intertwined with the ways in which Americans viewed their nation's past and envisioned its destiny. She shows how the Indians provided a crucial site of reflection upon national identity. And yet the Indians, by being denied the natural rights upon which the constitutional principles of the United States rested, also challenged American convictions of moral ascendancy and national legitimacy.Scheckel investigates, for example, the Supreme Court's decision on Indian land rights and James Fenimore Cooper's popular frontier romance The Pioneers: both attempted to legitimate American claims to land once owned by Indians and to assuage guilt associated with the violence of conquest by incorporating the Indians in a version of the American political "family." Alternatively, the widely performed Pocahontas plays dealt with the necessity of excluding Indians politically, but also portrayed these original inhabitants as embodying the potential of the continent itself. Such examples illustrate a gap between principles and practice. It is from this gap, according to the author, that the nation emerged, not as a coherent idea or a realist narrative, but as an ongoing performance that continues to play out, without resolution, fundamental ambivalences of American national identity.

Institution Organisation Bewegung: Sozialformen der Religion im Wandel (Veröffentlichungen der Sektion Religionssoziologie der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Soziologie #2)
by Michael Krüggeler Karl Gabriel Winfried GebhardtDas Buch zeigt, daß sich religiöse Organisationen zwischen modernen Organisationsstrukturen und religiöser Semantik bewähren müssen. Dadurch wird die Erforschung religiösen Wandels erneut in den Blick gebracht. Religion als soziales System läßt sich im Spannungsfeld der Begriffe "Institutionen - Organisation - Bewegung" beschreiben. Institution und Bewegung können gleichsam als die Extremformen religiöser Vergemeinschaftung bzw. Vergesellschaftung gelten: Bewegung steht für das schöpferisch-revolutionäre Element des Religiösen. Institution steht demgegenüber für habitualisierte, sozial und rechtlich verfaßte und zum Teil hierarchisch gegliederte Formelemente des Religiösen. Mit der gegenwärtigen Deinstitutionalisierung der Konfessionskirchen entfaltet sich die Struktur des Religionssystems in seiner Komplexität: Die Kirchen als religiöse Institutionen übernehmen unter dem Druck einer sich erfolgreich organisierenden Umwelt mehr und mehr den Charakter formaler Organisationen. Auf der anderen Seite verlieren auch religiöse Bewegungen ihre charismatische Unschuld: Gesinnungsethische Normativität kann sich oftmals nur unter Einsatz hochstrukturierter Mechanismen soziale Geltung verschaffen. Der vorliegende Band analysiert das modernisierte religiöse Feld als Spannungsverhältnis von religiöser Institution, Organisation und Bewegung. Er möchte damit einer Perspektive der Erforschung religiösen Wandels unter strukturellen Aspekten erneut Aufmerksamkeit verschaffen.

Internal Migration in Contemporary China
by D. DavinAs China moves from a society controlling all aspects of life, including population movement, to something nearer a market economy, migration has become a live issue. Tens of millions of rural migrants have entered China's cities, meeting discrimination similar to that experienced by economic migrants in the West. This book looks to the reasons why people leave certain areas, the lives of migrants and government policy towards them. It distinguishes different types of migration and looks particularly at marriage migration and the effects of migration on the lives of women.
