Collecting the perspectives of scholars who reflect on their own relationships to particular garments, analyze the politics of dress, and examine the role of consumerism and entrepreneurialism in the production of creating and selling a style, meXicana Fashions examines and searches for meaning in these visible, performative aspects of identity.
Focusing primarily on Chicanas but also considering trends connected to other Latin American communities, the authors highlight specific constituencies that are defined by region (“Tejana style,” “L.A. style”), age group (“homie,” “chola”), and social class (marked by haute couture labels such as Carolina Herrera and Oscar de la Renta). The essays acknowledge the complex layers of these styles, which are not mutually exclusive but instead reflect a range of intersections in occupation, origin, personality, sexuality, and fads. Other elements include urban indigenous fashion shows, the shifting quinceañera market, “walking altars” on the Days of the Dead, plus-size clothing, huipiles in the workplace, and dressing in drag. Together, these chapters illuminate the full array of messages woven into a vibrant social fabric.
Описание: From 1924 to 1946 the Republic of Turkey was in effect ruled as an authoritarian single-party regime. During these years the state embarked upon an extensive reform programme of modernisation and nation-building. Alexandros Lamprou here offers an alternative understanding of social change and state-society relations in Turkey, shifting the focus from the state as the prime instigator of change to the population's participation in the process of reform. Through the study of the 'People's Houses', the community centres opened and operated by the Republican People's Party in most cities and towns of Turkey, and using previously unpublished archival material, Lamprou analyses how ordinary people experienced, negotiated and resisted the reforms in the 1930s and 1940s and how this process contributed to the shaping of social identities. This book will be essential reading for students and scholars of nation-building, socio-cultural change and state-society relations in modern Turkey.
Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, nation building and identity construction in the post-socialist region have been the subject of extensive academic research. The majority of these studies have taken a 'top-down' approach - focusing on the variety of ways in which governments have sought to define the nascent nation states - and in the process have often oversimplified the complex and overlapping processes at play across the region. Drawing on research on the Balkans, Central Asia, the Caucasus and Eastern Europe, this book focuses instead on the role of non-traditional, non-politicised and non-elite actors in the construction of identity. Across topics as diverse as school textbooks, turbofolk and home decoration, contributors - each an academic with extensive on-the-ground experience - identify and analyse the ways that individuals living across the post-socialist region redefine identity on a daily basis, often by manipulating and adapting state policy.In the process, Nation Building in the Post-Socialist Region demonstrates the necessity of holistic, trans-national and inter-disciplinary approaches to national identity construction rather than studies limited to a single-state territory. This is important reading for all scholars and policymakers working on the post-socialist region.

Between 1554 and 1570, the Genevan printer Jean Crespin compiled seven French-language editions of his martyrology. In The Construction of Reformed Identity in Jean Crespin's Livre des Martyrs, Jameson Tucker explores how this martyrology helped to shape a distinct Reformed identity for its Protestant readership, with a particular interest in the stranger groups that Crespin included within his Livre des Martyrs.
By comparing each edition of the Livre des Martyrs, this book examines Crespin's editorial processes and considers the impact that he intended his work to have on his readers. Through this, it provides a window into the Reformed Church and its members during the outbreak of the French Wars of Religion. This is the first volume to comparatively study all seven French-language editions of Crespin's Livre des Martyrs and will be essential reading for all scholars of the Reformation and early modern France.
Описание: Terres de haute technologie, les pays germanophones sont egalement celebres pour leurs phenomenes de reaction contre la modernite et la vivacite de leurs cultures alternatives: scene underground de Berlin, groupes anthroposophiques, etc. Entre le « mouvement de jeunesse », les communautes New Age contemporaines et les bohemes de RDA, les differences semblent l’emporter. Par son regard transversal, le present ouvrage revele pourtant toute une serie de liens unissant les differentes formes de resistances souterraines a l’autorite dans les pays germanophones au XXe siecle. Il interroge la tendance propre aux phenomenes contre-culturels a cumuler progressisme et tendances regressives, a privilegier les actions indirectes sur la realite collective et a abolir la distinction entre vie privee et action politique. Ce livre contient des contributions en francais et en allemand. Il resulte d’un colloque international qui s’est tenu a Saint-Etienne les 5-6-7 avril 2012. Bei aller technischen Fortschrittlichkeit sind die deutschsprachigen Lander ebenfalls fur ihren beharrlichen Widerstand gegen die Moderne und die Lebendigkeit ihrer alternativen Kulturen bekannt: man denke an die Berliner Untergrundszene, die Vielzahl anthroposophischer Gruppen u.v.m. Ideologisch wie strategisch scheint dabei zunachst einmal den Wandervogel, zeitgenossische New-Age-Gemeinden und die DDR-Boheme mehr zu trennen als zu einen. Der vorliegende Sammelband deckt allerdings auch eine ganze Reihe von Gemeinsamkeiten zwischen diesen Erscheinungen auf. Er befasst sich insbesondere mit der bei gegenkulturellen Phanomenen haufig zu beobachtenden Tendenz, progressive und regressive Bewegungen miteinander zu verknupfen, indirekte Aktionsformen gegen die bestehende soziale Ordnung zu bevorzugen und die Unterschiede zwischen Privatleben und politischer Aktion aufzuheben. Das Buch fasst die Ergebnisse einer internationalen Tagung zusammen, die vom 5. bis zum 7. April 2012 in Saint-Etienne stattfand.

Описание: Part ethnography, part history, and part memoir, this volume chronicles the complex past and dynamic present of an ancient Mizrahi community. While intimately tied to the Central Asian landscape, the Jews of Bukhara have also maintained deep connections to the wider Jewish world. As the community began to disperse after the fall of the Soviet Union, Alanna E. Cooper traveled to Uzbekistan to document Jewish life before it disappeared. Drawing on ethnographic research there as well as among immigrants to the US and Israel, Cooper tells an intimate and personal story about what it means to be Bukharan Jewish. Together with her historical research about a series of dramatic encounters between Bukharan Jews and Jews in other parts of the world, this lively narrative illuminates the tensions inherent in maintaining Judaism as a single global religion over the course of its long and varied diaspora history.

Описание: This book addresses the unresolved question of how urban retailing and consumption changed during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. It replaces the usual focus on just one (type of) shopping institution with that of the urban shopping landscape in its entirety. Based on secondary sources for comparable cities and an in-depth empirical analysis of primary sources for Brussels, the author demonstrates that the unbridled commercialisation of cities in the nineteenth century cannot be understood without taking into account the entirety of the shopping landscape. Through a quantitative and qualitative analysis, she shows how and why the culture and spaces of shopping evolved.

Linien, Linearit ten, das Lineare, aber auch deren Negation, das Nicht-Lineare spiegeln und pr gen auf vielschichtige Weise die raum-zeitliche Welt-Bild-Produktion in Alltag und Wissenschaften. Wie aber k nnen Linien dargestellt werden? Sind sie Fl chen oder eine Zusammensetzung aus Punkten? Und wie wirken sich solche Fragen darauf aus, wenn man, wie Tim Ingold, die Linie zur Interpretation von Kulturph nomenen zugrunde legt? Das vorliegende Buch setzt hier an und reflektiert aus multidisziplin ren Perspektiven RaumZeitlichkeiten von Linien, im (nicht)linearen Denken und Handeln und damit verbundene Repr sentationstechniken.
The study of Czechoslovak women refugees in Britain is noticeably missing from current research and Anglo-Czechoslovak historiography. This book explores the diverse experiences, dilemmas and contributions to Britain of these women within a socio-political context, commencing with the 1938 Munich Agreement that precipitated exile.
An essential difference between this and many other studies of exile is the focus on nationality (Czechoslovak) and gender (women), rather than either element alone. Moreover, archival research is complemented by oral interviews with former refugees, presenting a more detailed and nuanced approach to their experiences, including wartime roles in the armed services, Czechoslovak Red Cross, women’s organizations and patriotic cultural societies.
