Egg (Object Lessons)
by Nicole WalkerObject Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things. This book is about a strange object-strange in part because it is something that we all have been, and that many of us eat. Nicole Walker's Egg relishes in sharp juxtapositions of seemingly fanciful or repellent topics, so that reproductive science and gustatory habits are considered alongside one another, and personal narrative and broad swaths of natural history jostle, like yolk and albumen. Mapping curious eggs across times, scales, and spaces, Egg draws together surprising perspectives on this common object-egg as food, as art object, as metaphor and feminist symbol, as cultural icon.Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic.
Egypt: British colony, imperial capital (Studies in Imperialism #147)
by James WhiddenThis book is a comprehensive portrait of the British colony in Egypt, which also takes a fresh look at the examples of colonial cultures memorably enshrined in Edward W. Said’s classic Orientalism. Arguing that Said’s analysis offered only the dominant discourse in imperial and colonial narratives, it uses private papers, letters, memoirs, as well as the official texts, histories and government reports, to reveal both dominant and muted discourses. While imperial sentiment certainly set the standards and sealed the image of a ruling caste culture, the investigation of colonial sentiment reveals a more diverse colony in temperament and lifestyles, often intimately rooted in the Egyptian setting. The method involves providing biographical treatments of a wide range of colonials and the sometimes contradictory responses to specific colonial locations, historical junctures and seminal events, like invasion and war or grand imperial projects including the Alexandria municipality.
Egypt: British colony, imperial capital (Studies in Imperialism #147)
by James WhiddenThe book is a treatment of the British colony in Egypt from the eighteenth century to the end of the twentieth century, revealing deep-seated cultural and economic links, while also considering how the mundane concerns of ordinary colonials fared in a strategically vital imperial base, with all its attendant complications.
The Egyptian Military in Popular Culture: Context and Critique
by Dalia Said MostafaThis book examines a key question through the lens of popular culture: Why did the Egyptian people opt to elect in June 2014 a new president (Abdel Fattah al-Sisi), who hails from the military establishment, after toppling a previous military dictator (Hosni Mubarak) with the breakout of the 25 January 2011 Revolution? In order to dissect this question, the author considers the complexity of the relationship between the Egyptian people and their national army, and how popular cultural products play a pivotal role in reinforcing or subverting this relationship. The author takes the reader on a ‘journey’ through crucial historical and political events in Egypt whilst focusing on multi-layered representations of the ‘military figure’ (the military leader, the heroic soldier, the freedom fighter, the conscript, the martyred soldier, and the Intelligence officer) in a wide range of popular works in literature, film, song, TV drama series, and graffiti art. Mostafa argues that the realm of popular culture in Egypt serves as the ‘blood veins’ which feed the nation’s perception of its Armed Forces.
Egyptians in Revolt: The Political Economy of Labor and Student Mobilizations 1919–2011 (Routledge Studies in Middle Eastern Democratization and Government)
by Adel Abdel GhafarEgyptians in Revolt investigates the political economy of the Egyptian labor and student movements. Using elements of social movement theory within a broad political economy framework, it assesses labor and student mobilizations in four eras of contemporary Egyptian history: the pre-1952 era, the Nasser era, the Sadat era and the Mubarak era. Egyptians in Revolt examines how both student and labor groups responded to the political economy pressures of the respective eras. Within the context of social movement theory, the book argues that political opportunities and threats have had a significant impact on both student and labor mobilizations. In addition, the book explores how the movements have, at times, been able to affect government policies. However, the argument is made that the inability of both groups to sustain momentum in the long term is due to cooptation efforts by established political forces and the absence of viable and enduring organizational structures that are autonomous of state control. By combining analysis to include both labor and student movements, Egyptians in Revolt is a valuable resource for understanding the Egyptian political economy and its impact on mobilizations. It will therefore be of interest to students and scholars of Middle East Studies, as well as those interested in social movement more broadly.

Ein- und Ausgrenzungen von Migranten: Zur sozialen Konstruktion (un-)erwünschter Zuwanderung (Kultur und soziale Praxis)
by Christian UlbrichtDie öffentlichen Debatten über Einwanderung und Integration sind polarisierend - mehr denn je. Stets stellt sich die Frage, wie im Einwanderungsdiskurs legitim zwischen erwünschter und unerwünschter Einwanderung unterschieden wird. Christian Ulbrichts wissenssoziologische Studie liefert einen innovativen Beitrag zum liberalen Paradox und zeigt, wie vor dem Hintergrund des Menschenrechtsdiskurses eine rassistische Ein- und Ausgrenzung extrem rechtfertigungswürdig ist. Er verdeutlicht, dass sich die Frage nach der Erwünschtheit von Zuwanderung am Klassenmerkmal der Einwanderer_innen entscheidet: Die Einwanderer_innen werden als mobile Humankapitalträger_innen wahrgenommen, sodass ein Dualismus aus Mobilität vs. Migration entsteht.
Eine inklusionsorientierte Schule: Erzählungen von Teilhabe, Ausgrenzungen und Behinderungen
by Kirsten Puhr Jens GeldnerKonzeptionen und Praxen inklusionsorientierter Schulen werfen ambivalente Fragen von Teilhabe, Ausgrenzungen und Behinderungen auf. Sowohl die theoretischen Einsätze als auch die lebensgeschichtlichen und analytischen Erzählungen dieses Buches geben ein Bild davon, dass solche Fragen in diskursiven Praxen schulischer Inklusion und Exklusion in unterschiedlichsten Weisen zu handhaben sind, aber nicht abschließend beantwortet werden können.Damit stellt sich eine erziehungs- und sozialwissenschaftlich sowie bildungspolitisch motivierte Perspektive auf integrations- und inklusionspädagogische Konzepte und Praxen zur Diskussion, die deren kritisch-produktives Potential in kontingenten, vieldeutigen und instabilen Konstruktionen und den damit verbundenen Machtverhältnissen sucht.
Einführung in die Soziologie der Behinderung
by Jörg Michael KastlIn diesem Lehrbuch wird erstmals konsequent vor einem körpersoziologischen Hintergrund eine Soziologie der Behinderung entwickelt. Dies geschieht im steten Rückgriff auf empirische Forschungsbefunde, historische und kulturanthropologische Beispiele. Es wird ein fundierter Überblick über soziologische Dimensionen körperlicher, kognitiver und psychischer Behinderungen vermittelt. In Bildinterpretationen und exemplarischen Studien (u.a. zu Themen wie Blick, Inklusion, Freakshows, Behinderung im Nationalsozialismus) werden Denkweisen und Forschungsperspektiven der Soziologie der Behinderung demonstriert. Für die zweite Auflage wurden statistische Daten aktualisiert, neuere Forschungsarbeiten berücksichtigt und inhaltliche Erweiterungen vorgenommen. Wichtige Konzepte wurden weiterentwickelt. Dazu gehören die an Jacques Lacan anknüpfende Trias Imaginäres-Reales-Symbolisches und die Abgrenzung der Kategorien „Inklusion“, „Integration“ und „Teilhabe“. Es werden wichtige soziologische Autoren einbezogen (Parsons, Goffman, Luhmann, Bourdieu, Elias, Berger/Luckmann) und aktuelle Kontroversen aufgegriffen: Kann man Behinderung definieren? Gibt es eine barrierefreie Welt? Ist Behinderung nur eine soziale Konstruktion? Was heißt Inklusion?
Einführung in lineare Strukturgleichungsmodelle mit Stata
by Julian AichholzerZiele dieses Lehrbuches sind eine verständliche Einführung in wesentliche Konzepte und statistische Grundlagen linearer Strukturgleichungsmodelle (SEM) sowie die didaktische Vermittlung und deren praktische Umsetzung mittels der Statistik-Software „Stata“. Die Software Stata ist heute neben SPSS und R eine der weitest verbreiteten Statistik-Software-Pakete in den Sozial-, Verhaltens- und Wirtschaftswissenschaften. Die didaktische Vermittlung von SEM mittels Stata eignet sich auf Grund der (vergleichsweise) einfachen Syntax-Sprache und der Einbettung in eine Software-Umgebung zur nutzerfreundlichen Datenaufbereitung als auch -analyse.
Elasticized Ecclesiology: The Concept of Community after Ernst Troeltsch
by Ulrich SchmiedelThis study confronts the current crisis of churches. In critical and creative conversation with the German theologian Ernst Troeltsch (1865-1923), Ulrich Schmiedel argues that churches need to be “elasticized” in order to engage the “other.” Examining contested concepts of religiosity, community, and identity, Schmiedel explores how the closure of church against the sociological “other” corresponds to the closure of church against the theological “other.” Taking trust as a central category, he advocates for a turn in the interpretation of Christianity—from “propositional possession” to “performative project,” so that the identity of Christianity is “done” rather than “described.” Through explorations of classical and contemporary scholarship in philosophy, sociology, and theology, Schmiedel retrieves Troeltsch’s interdisciplinary thinking for use in relation to the controversies that encircle the construction of community today. The study opens up innovative and instructive approaches to the investigation of the practices of Christianity, past and present. Eventually, church emerges as a “work in movement,” continually constituted through encounters with the sociological and the theological “other.”

The Elections in Israel 2015 (Elections of Israel)
by Michal Shamir Gideon RahatThe newest volume in the Elections in Israel series focuses on the twentieth Knesset elections held in March 2015 following the collapse of the third Netanyahu government. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s main opposition party, the Zionist Camp, ran a negative personalized election campaign, assuming that Israelis had grown tired of him. Netanyahu, however, achieved a surprising and dramatic victory by enhancing and radicalizing the same identity politics strategies that helped him win in 1996. The Elections in Israel 2015 dissects these and other campaigns, from the perspective of the voters, the media and opinion polls, the political parties, and electoral competition. Several contributors delve into the Left and Arab fear mongering Likud campaign, which produced strategic identity voting. Other contributions analyze in-depth the Israeli party and electoral systems, highlighting the exceptional decline of the mainstream parties and the adoption of a higher electoral threshold. Providing a close analysis of electoral competition, legitimacy struggles, stability and change in the voting behavior of various groups, partisanship, personalization and political polarization, this volume is a crucial record of Israeli political history.

Electoral Politics in India: The Resurgence of the Bharatiya Janata Party
by Suhas Palshikar Sanjay Kumar Sanjay LodhaThe general elections held in 2014 in India — the largest democracy in the world — to elect the 16th Lok Sabha brought in dramatic results. This important volume explains not only the startling victory of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) but also the equally surprising downfall of the Congress Party. It examines not why BJP won and the Congress lost, but why the scale of BJP’s victory and that of Congress’s defeat was so very different from the results in the years 2004 and 2009. The volume presents an in-depth analysis of the electoral results, state-wise studies, the factors leading up to these outcomes, and the road India has travelled since then. With contributions from India’s leading political scientists, psephologists, sociologists and political commentators, this book will be of great interest to scholars and researchers of Indian politics, democracy and political parties, as well as South Asian studies.
