Diversity and Inclusion Research

This volume presents interdisciplinary and intersectional contributions that outline the state of the art in the field of intercultural dialogue and diversity management. It discusses traditional and modern practices, as well as notions related to interculturalism and diversity, such as intercultural mediation, religious and non-confessional dialogue, cultural capitalism, and cultural pluralism. The book aims at stimulating the dialogue in academia and to foster interculturalism and tolerance of social diversity by sharing good practices and tools, especially through education, in overcoming any barriers that different cultures might pose to everyday affairs. The book will appeal to students, researchers, and scholars of political science, law, sociology, education, and business and management, as well as policy-makers and practitioners interested in a better understanding of intercultural dialogue and diversity management.&nbsp;

Green Energy and Technology

This book investigates in detail piezoelectric energy harvesting (PEH) technology, assessing its potential us to replace conventional electrochemical batteries with kinetic energy harvesters as sustainable power supplies in wireless sensor network (WSN) devices and mobile electronics, which are originally exposed to ambient vibration. Studies on PEH have attracted engineers and scientists from various disciplines, such as electrical, mechanical, materials, civil and biomedical engineering. Pursuing a holistic approach, the book establishes a fundamental framework for this topic, while emphasizing the importance of integrated analysis and the significant influence of circuit issues in the design and optimization of PEH systems. This approach will help readers from different disciplines recognize the essential aspects of and milestones towards the optimization of PEH systems in practice. The book is intended for undergraduate and graduate students who are interested in energy harvesting technology, researchers investigating kinetic energy harvesting systems, and structure/circuit design engineers working on self-powered WSNs or other energy harvesting applications.

The concept of the Black Atlantic has been used to look at Black culture on all sides of the Atlantic in the context of migration, diaspora, and hybridity. This two-volume publication explores philosophical notions and aesthetic forms of temporality in the Black Atlantic. The authors trace a transnational political and aesthetic emancipation movement of intellectuals and artists from the 1930s to the 1980s and beyond.In the first volume, Gabriele Genge deals with artistic contributions in a transnational understanding of Négritude. She provides insights into a fundamental artistic interest in debating and transcending modern ideas about time. A transcultural horizon emerges that counters the racist and ethnological time regimes of modernity with polychronic manifestations of African thought and knowledge.

Temporality and Aesthetic Regimes in the ›Black Atlantic‹ 1

This book examines 'womanhood' and 'race' not only as disputed, converging, and constantly changing categories and lived experiences, but also as interrelated and unequal subjectivities and social realties that shaped all early-twentieth century Puerto Ricans. It empirically documents just how significantly 'womanhood' and 'race' were inextricably intertwined in Puerto Rico between 1914 and 1945, a decisive period in U.S. expansionism and in the transformation of this island. Through a comparative analysis and description of specific subjects in early-twentieth century Puerto Rico—mostly Puerto Ricans from different races and social classes, but also some North Americans as well—the book demonstrates the extent to which 'womanhood' and 'race' are a more thorny, volatile, and unstable than is commonly acknowledged within Women’s History and Caribbean Studies. This is the first book that examines the relationships between women in Puerto Rico from divergent social classes and racialized positions by mostly focusing on the socioeconomic and racial inequalities among colonized women in Puerto Rico. This is in marked contrast with most Women’s History globally which mainly concentrates either on the lives of elite women or, at best, on the unequal relationships between colonizer- and/or European-descended women vis-à-vis colonized- and/or non-white women. In this book 'womanhood' and 'race' are not seen as separate, nor as already given, historically and culturally immutable 'things.’ Those are some of the lacunae this book transcends, primarily in the case of white-Creole women relative to non-white Island women and the images socially constructed of them in Puerto Rico, as well as for racially located Puerto Ricans more broadly. Within this context, the book enables a different reading of already known documents while demonstrating the importance of examining unused or forgotten bibliographical sources, some of them previously untranslated.Gladys M. Jiménez-Muñoz is an Associate Professor at the Sociology Department at Binghamton University-SUNY.&nbsp;

Translational Systems Sciences

This book formulates an evolutionary and pluralistic view of social systems in the global age, especially with reference to Niklas Luhmann's theory of social systems. Several paired concepts, such as national society/world society, stratification/functional differentiation, diffuse/specific, universalistic/particularistic, and inclusion/exclusion, illustrate the transformation of social structure and its effects on the constructive principles of social systems and the definition of individual identity. Every functional subsystem has become more autonomous and the socio-cultural sources of individual identity have become more diversified than in the past. The book proposes the concept of the “intermediary unit” and discusses its significance and relevance in the social systems theory. In the background of this discussion, the reality is that there is no system of meaning and values that are valid in all areas of the world society that has emerged in the process of functional differentiation and globalization, nor can we design such a system theoretically. The significance of intermediary units is considered; the competition of intermediary units and meaning-value spaces in the actual social process is defined as the politics of meaning; and a new form of pluralism based on the concept of polycontexturality is proposed. These factors seem to make the whole world more and more complex, risky, uncertain, and nontransparent. The evolutionary and pluralistic design principles of social systems including various intermediary units improve our capacity to cope with future risks.

Care - Forschung und Praxis

Familie, Sorge und Recht konstituieren ein komplexes Verhältnis. Recht ermöglicht und beschränkt Familien- und Sorgebeziehungen, es öffnet und schließt alltägliche Handlungsspielräume, es verspricht Lösungen für soziale Probleme und mobilisiert soziale Kräfte - nicht zuletzt für juristische Transformationen. Die Beiträger*innen loten die Widerspenstigkeiten aus, die diesem Verhältnis und dessen Analyse innewohnen. Mit empirischen und theoretischen Perspektiven aus Soziologie, Europäischer Ethnologie, Kulturwissenschaften, Sozialer Arbeit und Rechtswissenschaften beleuchten sie Forschungsgegenstände und Praxisfelder wie Co-Parenting und queere Lebensformen, sexualisierte Gewalt, Scheidung und Vormundschaft.

Schriften zu Leben und Gesellschaft - Series on Life and Society

Science and the Other is about modern science and its role in the ruling geopolitics of onto-epistemic violence. Tracing back over a century in scientific meta-discourse in philosophy, sociology, anthropology, feminist and decolonial STS, the book explores how scientific universalism has been functioning as an ideological machine for globalising structures of exploitation. By seeking “objective truth” in a world divided into subjects and objects, culture and nature, humans and non-humans, "developed" and "underdeveloped" people and regions, modern science tacitly naturalises structural inequalities and legitimises the exploitation of both non-human nature and a major part of humanity. Modern science has given us the superpowers that brought about the “Anthropocene”, but unfortunately not the wisdom to face its existential challenges. There is an urgent need to engage with Other(ed), marginalised ways of knowing in equitable, pluriversal dialogue about the knowledge needed to build liveable world(s).&nbsp;
Science and the Other is an in-depth inquiry into the question of what actually hinders us from engaging into cross-fertilising pluriversal dialogue. Based on a three years action research with the Potiguara in north-east Brazil, the book offers a comparative analysis of Potiguara's and scientific cosmologies. Scientists and philosophers have been struggling to provide a coherent naturalistic theory of mind and matter – with little success. Instead, evidence from quantum physics and neuroscience suggests a variety of possible ontological interpretations, some of which describe a world made up by entities and principles with properties comparable to those in the Potiguara´s world. However, the Potiguara´s cosmology uses radically different metaphors, thereby painting a radically different picture of “reality”, and thus, allowing for onto-epistemic shifts and new insights. Accordingly, a dialogue between modern science and Other, hitherto excluded knowledge cultures should not only be possible; looking through the Others´ lens might also help us find alternative solutions to old, recalcitrant problems (e.g. relativism or the mind-body problem) and open our eyes for new horizons and alternative futures beyond the scope of modern/colonial epistemologies.
This is an open access book.

The authors trace a transnational political and aesthetic emancipation movement of intellectuals and artists from the 1930s to the 1980s and beyond.In the second volume, Angela Stercken shows how temporality and blackness have become catalysts of a political and aesthetic repositioning in the United States in the context of Négritude and global debates since the 1940s/50s. With conceptual interventions in urban space, temporal figurations of a Black Aesthetic, and transmedia forms of distribution, a global contemporariness gains weight in the 1960s/70s, with repercussions until today.
