Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Are computer simulations theory, experiment, or something in between Anne Dippel and Martin Warnke explore the epistemological status of computer simulations. By examining the erosion of concept-based truth in the digital age in combination with pathways of knowledge in physics, they offer a media ethnography of the famous quantum physics double-slit experiment and its simulation. Recognizing simulations as central to shaping reality and multiplying illusions, the authors propose 'operational realism' as epistemic composure in the digital era. The work raises ethical questions about algorithmic world design, offering humor, revelations, and insights into new ontologies of knowledge. 138 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -The belief in democracy and democratic institutions is waning. Political malaise, populism and radicalization are widespread. Everywhere in the Western world not only newly arrived, but also native citizens need to be integrated in the social and political fabric. Hans Blokland discusses projects starting courteous conversations again with citizens on politics and society, and addresses the underlying ideas on democratic deliberation. Why do we need dialogues about what holds our societies together How can we counter antagonism, alienation and radicalism How can we build meaningful discussions about values and beliefs And are people always right about their interests and goals 260 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -In the face of social inequalities, digital divides, hegemonic power relations, capitalist conflicts of interests, asymmetric gender relations and international border and migration regimes, educational and social actions are becoming more challenging. Mediating these social challenges demands new methods and approaches. Thus, the contributors to this volume use critical pedagogies to reflect on art, literature, storytelling, and digital methods as a means to mediating social challenges in teaching practices. The contributions challenge normative perceptions of identity while also promoting students' multiliteracy skills. 246 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -The relation between education and gender identity formation is a contested terrain: Located between reproducing society's status-quo and inhabiting the potential to resist this reproduction and making room for alternative being, education constitutes an ambivalent nexus. Nicole Haring investigates how gender norms with their intersections are negotiated in Austria's educational system. She presents results from a participatory intergenerational storytelling workshop as co-creation of knowledge, amplifiying the similarities and differences between generations of educators with regard to the interplay of education and gender. 252 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -This volume proposes a 'deep internationalization' of media and communication studies by offering insights and guidance on how to integrate a cosmopolitan perspective in a variety of subfields of this discipline. Building on debates on de-Westernization and cosmopolitanism, the contributors advocate for the inclusion of both global and local perspectives and context-led approaches. They argue that acknowledging and incorporating epistemologies, topics, and methodologies from diverse regions, contexts, and backgrounds will enhance the comprehensiveness and relevance of their discipline and foster a more inclusive and meaningful understanding in communication studies. 318 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -The contributors to this volume explore the intertwined relationship of imagining and practicing from different fields of study (sociology, philosophy, literary and cultural studies), complementing practice and theoretical approaches with interdisciplinary insights into the entanglements of doings and imaginations. They build a bridge between sociological research and cultural studies and thus challenge perspectives which characterize imagining as an individual and solitary activity. Rather, imagining is situated and shaped by its placement in specific contexts and communities. 216 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Unter der Voraussetzung einer pluralen Gesellschaft sind Fragen nach dem Guten Leben nicht einheitlich zu beantworten. Die Auseinandersetzungen darüber intensivieren sich immer weiter, insbesondere vor dem Hintergrund der Forderungen nach einem würdevollen menschlichen Leben und einer nachhaltigen Entwicklung für alle. Die Beiträger\*innen verdeutlichen die sozialwissenschaftliche Dimension gesellschaftlicher Aushandlungen, Bedeutungen und Rahmenbedingungen Guten Lebens. Anschaulich stellen sie dies an empirischen Beispielen wie Sterben, Pflege, Mode oder der Gestaltung öffentlicher Räume und Technologien dar - und zeigen so, dass der Diskurs um das Gute Leben die Gesellschaft als Ganzes betrifft. 172 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware -Die Zeitschrift für Medienwissenschaft steht für eine kulturwissenschaftlich orientierte Medienwissenschaft, die Untersuchungen zu Einzelmedien aufgreift und durchquert, um nach politischen Kräften und epistemischen Konstellationen zu fragen. Sie stellt Verbindungen zu internationaler Forschung ebenso her wie zu verschiedenen Disziplinen und bringt unterschiedliche Schreibweisen und Textformate, Bilder und Gespräche zusammen, um der Vielfalt, mit der geschrieben, nachgedacht und experimentiert werden kann, Raum zu geben.Heft 32 widmet sich der Paranoia, dass Medientechnologien ganze Bevölkerungen zu Marionetten böswilliger Akteur\*innen machen. Unter dem Begriff »Mind Control« werden unterschiedliche Versuche der (verdeckten) Einflussnahme auf Denken, Fühlen und Verhalten zusammengefasst, die von Suggestion über Manipulation bis hin zu Indoktrination reichen. Die Beiträger\*innen arbeiten das Thema angesichts rezenter Verschwörungserzählungen zu staatlich »gesteuerten« Medien medienwissenschaftlich auf. 190 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Kashmiri nationalism is defined by its dichotomy between the ethnic and the civic. Arshi Javaid delves into this dichotomy, unravelling the political and social variables that shape it. Moving beyond a conventional securitized perspective on the Kashmir conflict, she offers an understanding of Kashmiri nationalism as a daily practice. This perspective critiques the view that reduces Kashmiri nationalism to a monolithic entity, highlights dynamic socio-political developments, and argues that the state nationalist majoritarian agenda undermines collective rights, erodes local identities, and escalates tensions, breeding confrontation.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Delinking, as a concept, was initially put forward to propose a progressive economic strategy within and potentially beyond capitalism. This was based on the understanding that Western development has taken place under particular historical and ecological conditions that cannot be reproduced everywhere. Amid the ongoing and multifaceted socio-ecological crisis, the delinking agenda is now again articulated with a fresh focus on international monetary reform and global reparations. The contributions to this volume by authors from various theoretical traditions provide a wealth of insights on these questions and make the case for alternative epistemic, political and activist approaches premised on anti-imperialism and global justice.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - In the 1970s, the whole Brazilian Amazon was opened up by road construction and the exploitation of its rich resources increased considerably. Jan Kleinpenning traces the history of this development, which began in 1972 with the opening of the first part of the Ruta Transamazônica, as well as its effects on population growth and distribution. He lays a particular focus on the programme of supervised agrarian colonisation meant to help small farmers and landless families from the densely populated and poverty-stricken Northeast of the country. Ron Milder's contribution to this volume examines the effects on Altamira, one of the small towns along the Ruta.
