Muslimas und Muslime in Österreich im Migrationsstress (Wiener Beiträge zur Islamforschung)
by Paul M. ZulehnerIn einer repräsentativen Studie untersucht Paul M. Zulehner den Modernisierungsstress in Bezug auf Freiheitsbewusstsein/Unterwerfungsbereitschaft, Geschlechterrollen, islamische Gläubigkeit, dem viele Muslime aus vormodernen Kulturen, die in westeuropäische Länder migrieren, ausgesetzt werden. Die Daten belegen, dass zumal jüngere Muslimas sich in ihrem Frauenbild westlichen Frauen annähern und sich im Zeitraum von zwei Generationen eine Art „Europäischer Islam von unten“ entwickelt. Die Islamische Religionsgemeinschaft könnte diesen ebenso wertschätzen wie eine Islamische Theologie ihn reflektieren wird. Das wird dem Religionsfrieden nützen.
Migrant Women
by M. ZulaufPolicy-makers are concerned with facilitating labour mobility in the EU. In the 1990s, take-up of employment in other EU countries has remained small. This seminal work looks at the obstacles faced by women in the nursing and banking professions when they migrate between member states. Basing her analysis on the personal accounts of migrants, and discussions with colleagues and regulatory bodies in Britain, Germany and Spain, the author sheds light on one of the major challenges confronting the EU.
Die Sozialität der Bildung: Eine Studie zum Verhältnis von Anerkennungs- und Institutionentheorie (Pädagogik)
by Miguel Zulaica y MugicaEntgegen Semantiken individueller Selbstbildung hinterfragt Miguel Zulaica y Mugica das Verhältnis von Bildung und Sozialität. In kritischer Bezugnahme zur hegelianischen Bildungstheorie und entlang von aktuellen sozialphilosophischen Ansätzen wird Bildung als institutionalisiertes Deutungsmuster diskutiert, das in historisch sedimentierte Anerkennungsregimes instanziiert ist. Es wird argumentiert, dass Selbstreflexivität als Moment von Bildung trotz ihrer Ambivalenz die Bedingung für Praktiken des sachlichen Streits darstellt. Vor diesem Hintergrund können Praktiken der Individualisierung, der hegemonialen Durchsetzung und Politiken des Rechthabens problematisiert werden.
The Innovation Complex: Cities, Tech, and the New Economy
by Sharon ZukinYou hear a lot these days about "innovation and entrepreneurship" and about how "good jobs" in tech will save our cities. Yet these common tropes hide a stunning reality: local lives and fortunes are tied to global capital. You see this clearly in metropolises such as San Francisco and New York that have emerged as "superstar cities." In these cities, startups bloom, jobs of the future multiply, and a meritocracy trained in digital technology, backed by investors who control deep pools of capital, forms a new class: the tech-financial elite. In The Innovation Complex, the eminent urbanist Sharon Zukin shows the way these forces shape the new urban economy through a rich and illuminating account of the rise of the tech sector in New York City. Drawing from original interviews with venture capitalists, tech evangelists, and economic development officials, she shows how the ecosystem forms and reshapes the city from the ground up. Zukin explores the people and plans that have literally rooted digital technology in the city. That in turn has shaped a workforce, molded a mindset, and generated an archipelago of tech spaces, which in combination have produced a now-hegemonic "innovation" culture and geography. She begins with the subculture of hackathons and meetups, introduces startup founders and venture capitalists, and explores the transformation of the Brooklyn waterfront from industrial wasteland to "innovation coastline." She shows how, far beyond Silicon Valley, cities like New York are shaped by an influential "triple helix" of business, government, and university leaders--an alliance that joins C. Wright Mills's "power elite," real estate developers, and ambitious avatars of "academic capitalism." As a result, cities around the world are caught between the demands of the tech economy and communities' desires for growth--a massive and often--insurmountable challenge for those who hope to reap the rewards of innovation's success.

Naked City: The Death and Life of Authentic Urban Places
by Sharon ZukinAs cities have gentrified, educated urbanites have come to prize what they regard as "authentic" urban life: aging buildings, art galleries, small boutiques, upscale food markets, neighborhood old-timers, funky ethnic restaurants, and old, family-owned shops. These signify a place's authenticity, in contrast to the bland standardization of the suburbs and exurbs. But as Sharon Zukin shows in Naked City, the rapid and pervasive demand for authenticity--evident in escalating real estate prices, expensive stores, and closely monitored urban streetscapes--has helped drive out the very people who first lent a neighborhood its authentic aura: immigrants, the working class, and artists. Zukin traces this economic and social evolution in six archetypal New York areas--Williamsburg, Harlem, the East Village, Union Square, Red Hook, and the city's community gardens--and travels to both the city's first IKEA store and the World Trade Center site. She shows that for followers of Jane Jacobs, this transformation is a perversion of what was supposed to happen. Indeed, Naked City is a sobering update of Jacobs' legendary 1961 book, The Death and Life of Great American Cities. Like Jacobs, Zukin looks at what gives neighborhoods a sense of place, but argues that over time, the emphasis on neighborhood distinctiveness has become a tool of economic elites to drive up real estate values and effectively force out the neighborhood "characters" that Jacobs so evocatively idealized.

Point of Purchase: How Shopping Changed American Culture
by Sharon ZukinThis accessible, smart, and expansive book on shopping's impact on American life is in part historical, stretching back to the mid-19th century, yet also has a contemporary focus, with material on recent trends in shopping from the internet to Zagat's guides.Drawing inspiration from both Pierre Bourdieu's work and Walter Benjamin's seminal essay on the shopping arcades of 19th-century Paris, Zukin explores the forces that have made shopping so central to our lives: the rise of consumer culture, the never-ending quest for better value, and shopping's ability to help us improve our social status and attain new social identities.

by Mariano ZukerfeldKnowledge in the Age of Digital Capitalism proposes a new critical theory concerning the functioning of capitalism and how we consider knowledge and information. This ambitious book systematically and lucidly introduces contemporary phenomena into the framework of cognitive materialism to address some of the great themes of the social sciences: knowledge, exploitation and social class in an account of capitalism’s totality in the present day. Author Mariano Zukerfeld reinvigorates materialist study of communications, presenting a typology of knowledge to explain the underlying material forms of information, intellectual property and cognitive work in contemporary societies. Using current examples the book also examines concerns such as free labour and the pivotal role of intellectual property.

Die Zukunft des rheinischen Kapitalismus: Unternehmen zwischen Kapitalmarkt und Mitbestimmung (Forschung Soziologie #180)
by Rainer ZugehörIm Lauf der neunziger Jahre hat sich die Praxis der Unternehmensführung in deutschen Unternehmen dem angloamerikanischen Modell angenähert. Neue Einflussmöglichkeiten für Investoren wurden geschaffen, feindliche Übernahmen sind prinzipiell möglich geworden, und das für Deutschland charakteristische dichte Netzwerk zwischen den großen Unternehmen und Banken löst sich langsam auf und dort, wo Unternehmen noch Aktien untereinander halten, fordern sie zunehmend Transparenz und ,Shareholder Value'. Deutsche Großunternehmen begegnen dem gewachsenen Druck des Kapitalmarktes dadurch, dass sie ihre Unternehmen in Reaktion auf gestiegene Ansprüche der Kapitalgeber umbauen. Wie geht der Wandel vonstatten? Ist der kapitalmarktorientierte Umbau der Unternehmen kompatibel mit dem deutschen System der Arbeitsbeziehung, das sich durch ein hohes Maß an Regulierung und Mitbestimmung auszeichnet? Was folgt für das deutsche Modell? Diesen Fragen wird im vorliegenden Buch nachgegangen.
Visual Sociology: Practices and Politics in Contested Spaces (Routledge Advances In Sociology Ser. #91)
by Dennis Zuev Gary BratchfordThis book provides a user-friendly guide to the expanding scope of visual sociology, through a discussion of a broad range of visual material, and reflections on how such material can be studied sociologically. The chapters draw on specific case-study examples that examine the complexity of the hyper-visual social world we live in, exploring three domains of the ‘relational image’: the urban, social media, and the aerial. Zuev and Bratchford tackle issues such as visual politics and surveillance, practices of visual production and visibility, analysing the changing nature of the visual. They review a range of methods which can be used by researchers in the social sciences, utilising new media and their visual interfaces, while also assessing the changing nature of visuality. This concise overview will be of use to students and researchers aiming to adopt visual methods and theories in their own subject areas such as sociology, visual culture and related courses in photography, new-media and visual studies.
Urban Mobility in Modern China: The Growth Of The E-bike
by Dennis ZuevThis book is an empirically rich case-study of what is currently the most popular alternative-fuel vehicle in the history of motorization – the electric two-wheeler (e-bike). The book provides sociological insights into e-bike mobility in China and discusses politics, social practices and larger issues of mobility transition in urban China. Taking an accessible approach to the subject, the book identifies the main sociospatial conflicts regarding the use of e-bikes and discusses why electric two-wheeler mobility is important for the future of urban China and urban transportation globally. This book will be an invaluable read for urban geographers and transportation researchers, but also for academics and general readers interested in Chinese Studies, specifically in the area of urban mobility in China.

Faith No More: Why People Reject Religion
by Phil ZuckermanDuring his 2009 inaugural speech, President Obama described the United States as a nation of "Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus--and nonbelievers." It was the first time an American president had acknowledged the existence of this rapidly growing segment of the population in such a public forum. And yet the reasons why more and more people are turning away from religion are still poorly understood. In Faith No More, Phil Zuckerman draws on in-depth interviews with people who have left religion to find out what's really behind the process of losing one's faith. According to a 2008 study, so many Americans claim no religion (15%, up from 8% in 1990) that this category now outranks every other religious group except Catholics and Baptists. Exploring the deeper stories within such survey data, Zuckerman shows that leaving one's faith is a highly personal, complex, and drawn-out process. And he finds that, rather than the cliché of the angry, nihilistic atheist, apostates are life-affirming, courageous, highly intelligent and inquisitive, and deeply moral. Zuckerman predicts that this trend toward nonbelief will likely continue and argues that the sooner we recognize that religion is frequently and freely rejected by all sorts of men and women, the sooner our understanding of the human condition will improve. The first book of its kind, Faith No More will appeal to anyone interested in the "New Atheism" and indeed to anyone wishing to more fully understand our changing relationship to religious faith.
