Shojaei R: Veiled Voices in
Postrevolutionary Iranian Cinema

Veiled Voices in Postrevolutionary Iranian Cinema

Women’s Vocal Presence and Rethinking Acousmatic Sound

Drawing upon the span of American history from the seventeenth century to the present, Bret Carroll explores masculinity's importance as a leitmotif to understand a broad range of human relations. He argues that throughout our history masculinity has been a powerful force across geographical, racial, ethnic, and class lines.

This book is contextualised by, makes connections to, and seeks to build on&nbsp;theory intersecting various fields: codes of women’s football globally; female&nbsp;sport participation globally; gender and sexuality studies; queer theory; and&nbsp;visual methods. Through showcasing women’s experiences of playing football, highlighting the ways in which players make sense of their gendered embodiment&nbsp;and performances, and exploring how gender is understood and regulated within&nbsp;the unique social context of a female football team, this book demonstrates why&nbsp;such discussions are crucial for advancing gender equality and theorization of&nbsp;genders in contemporary Western cultures. In giving voice to the lived experiences&nbsp;and perspectives of women who have and continue to play Australian Rules&nbsp;football, this book highlights the ongoing tensions, conflicts, contradictions, and&nbsp;absences of negotiating their passion for playing the game, the impact of gender&nbsp;on their playing experiences, and the significance of the social and cultural space&nbsp;of their &nbsp;football club to their lives. It provides a nuanced account of the&nbsp;power and significance of women’s social bonds in this space, explores how&nbsp;notions of female friendship and desire are caught up in heteronormative&nbsp;discourses, and engages in discussions of the ways in which genders, sexualities,&nbsp;desires, embodiments, and sociality are contested and negotiated among women&nbsp; 
in homosocial spaces. This book will be of interest to researchers, academics and students working and studying in the fields of gender and sexuality studies,&nbsp;queer theory, visual methodologies, sociology of sport, sports studies, female&nbsp;friendship, physical education, as well as those who play and work within codes&nbsp; 
of women’s football.

Neue Bibliothek der Sozialwissenschaften

Die Gesellschaft kann nur unter den sehr beschränkten Bedingungen ihrer eigenen Kommunikationsmöglichkeiten auf Umweltprobleme reagieren. Das gilt auch für Umweltprobleme, die sie selbst ausgelöst hat. Ökologische Kommunikation kann sich daher nur nach Maßgabe der wichtigsten Funktionssysteme wie Politik, Recht, Wirtschaft, Wissenschaft, Erziehung, Religion entwickeln – oder im Protest gegen diese Systeme. In beiden Fällen besteht die doppelte Gefahr von zu wenig und zu viel Resonanz.Der AutorNiklas Luhmann (1927-1998) war zuletzt Professor für Soziologie an der Universität Bielefeld.

Dieses Buch bietet eine kompakte (und wahrscheinlich die verständlichste) Zusammenfassung der Systemtheorie. Dabei wird die Frage nach den ökologischen Risiken der modernen Gesellschaft beantwortet.

Kann die moderne Gesellschaft sich auf ökologische Gefährdungen einstellen?

Ökologische Kommunikation

Digitalization implies a wide range of transformation processes at all levels of democratic societies. The political, public and academic debates about digitalization and democracy have always been controversial and still are today. Greatly intensified research activities in recent years have expanded our knowledge about the effects of digitalization, but show that debates still range from optimistic views to sceptic or even dystopian perspectives. The former emphasize the potential of the internet to drive innovation in society and to enhance democracy. Moreover, the expanding digitalization of everyday life seems as an opportunity for increasing individualism and free choice. From this perspective it is claimed that digital technologies, artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, and algorithms are to be seen as helpful tools in optimizing social life. In contrast, skeptical views highlighting the risks and even threats of digitalization for democratic values have increased recently. This finds expression in many well-researched aspects such as the growing relevance of fake news and “alternative facts” online. Algorithmic filtering promotes visibility of polarizing content and politically extreme positions. Furthermore, social media platforms can no longer be seen as neutral gathering places for rule-governed discourse. In addition, it is warned about digital technology and AI threatening autonomous decision making and the digitalization of everyday life is critically viewed as a misuse of data in terms of public surveillance and control.&nbsp;All of this makes it necessary to further research the role of digitization with regard to strengthening and preserving democracy in the digital age. This was precisely the main focus of the NRW Digital Society research network funded by the state of North Rhine-Westphalia from 2018 to 2022. The book is the central joint publication of the network and brings together the projects and disciplines of all universities and collegesparticipating in the network. The publication documents the most important project results that have not yet been published centrally and presents them for discussion not only to the academic public. At the same time, the book offers an insight into the interdisciplinary characteristics and challenges of the growing research field of digitization research.
This is an open access book.

Gender and Politics

"This volume delves into the pivotal and timely subject of female leadership in Africa and the Middle East. It examines the paradox whereby women continue to achieve remarkable educational successes; while confronting enduring obstacles to the authentic acknowledgment of their leadership within the spheres of power. An exceptional and insightful contribution to contemporary discourses surrounding the multifaceted roles of women in challenging and dismantling entrenched structures of power and authority in leadership positions at all levels."—Fatima Sadiqi, Hamad Bin Khalifa University, Qatar"Born of an unusual collaboration and boldly bestriding two major regions of the world, this book intentionally inscribes African and Middle Eastern experiences, scholarship, and perspectives in the accounts of women’s engagements with leadership in those regions. The chapters cover a broad range of leadership contexts, disrupt previously held theories of women’s leadership, and accord theoretical and analytical respect and dignity to the people and places included in this study. Scholars, students, leaders, and policy makers have much to learn from it."—Olajumoke Yacob-Haliso, Brandeis University, USAHistory demonstrates that&nbsp;women’s ascent to or absence from leadership positions is contingent on the various political, cultural, social, and professional contexts they are situated in. This edited collection on women and leadership is a contribution in this regard. It aims to re-conceptualize the contexts that either enable or restrain women’s ascent to leadership positions, by drawing on&nbsp;case studies from Morocco and Nigeria as well as a widened perspective covering Africa and the Middle East. The collection includes chapters that address more specifically the policies, practices and (mis)representations affecting African and Middle Eastern women’s aspirations for leadership roles and positions. As such, it contributes to the advancement of reflection on issues related to women and leadership.Hanane Darhour is professor of English Studies, Gender and Politics at Ibn Zohr University, Morocco.

Medienwissen kompakt

Medien sind Beobachter und Akteure der Wirklichkeit. Sie greifen aktuelle politische und gesellschaftliche Debatten wie jene um Migration und Flucht auf, verarbeiten sie und gestalten öffentliche Debatten mit. Die mediale Thematisierung von Flucht und Migration hat immer wieder Konjunktur und aktualisiert so auf spezifische Weise Narrative des Eigenen und Fremden. Daraus ergibt sich die Frage, welche Medienimages im Kontext von internationaler Migration geschaffen werden. Inwiefern prägen diese Einstellungsmuster gegenüber Migrant*innen?&nbsp; Beschönigen Massenmedien Konflikte und Krisen rund um Migration und Migrant*innen? Oder tragen sie zu einem rassifizierten Framing bei? Inwiefern kommen Migrantinnen und Migranten selbst zu Wort und was bedeutet das für die post-migrantische Gesellschaft? Der Band adressiert diese und weitere Fragen aus kommunikationswissenschaftlicher Sicht und ermöglicht so einen kompakten Überblick über aktuelle Forschungsbefunde zum Themenfeld Medien und Migration.
