    This open access book provides anthropological insights into the arduous yet rewarding journeys involved in selected TESOL teachers’ pedagogical transition to teaching English for Academic Purposes (EAP) at universities in Shanghai, the largest metropolitan area in China. Applying a unique combination of ethnography and phenomenology, the book offers innovative new perspectives on teacher education research. Drawing on the latest language education theory, it outlines a practitioner-friendly approach to EAP literacy. Teacher readers will especially benefit from the case studies presented here, which provide role models for teacher change in educational reform, as well as advice on their academic careers. In addition to addressing a timely and important research gap on EAP teachers in non-Western countries, the book is the ideal choice for readers interested in an update on English education in China.

    Dieses Open-Access-Buch ist die erste soziologische Ethnographie, die sich der Forschungspraxis wirtschaftswissenschaftlicher Laborexperimente widmet. Wissenschaftliche Labore sind Orte der Außeralltäglichkeit, die zum Zweck wissenschaftlicher Untersuchungen geschaffen werden. Der Untersuchungsgegenstand ökonomischer Laborexperimente ist das menschliche Entscheidungsverhalten. Dieses ist immer an die Menschen gebunden, die ihr ‚Entscheiden‘ durch Handeln oder Verhalten erst entäußern müssen, damit es messbar wird. Die Studie zeigt materialreich auf, wie im ‚ökonomisches Laboratop‘ ein spezifischer Rahmen (Goffman 1977) für die Messung ökonomischen Entscheidungsverhaltens interaktiv von den Handelnden erzeugt, aufrechterhalten und verankert wird und rekonstruiert so das schrittweise Vorgehen des ‚Herauspräparierens‘ des wirtschaftswissenschaftlichen Untersuchungsgegenstandes. Zentrale konzeptionelle Bezugspunkte bilden der kommunikative Konstruktivismus, die Goffmansche Rahmenanalyse, die Ethnomethodologie und eine Erweiterung der wissenssoziologischen Gattungsanalyse.

    This open access book describes methods for research on and research through design. It posits that ethnography is an appropriate method for design research because it constantly orients itself, like design projects, towards social realities. In research processes, designers acquire project-specific knowledge, which happens mostly intuitively in practice. When this knowledge becomes the subject of reflection and explication, it strengthens the discipline of design and makes it more open to interdisciplinary dialogue. Through the use of the ethnographic method in design, this book shows how design researchers can question the certainties of the everyday world, deconstruct reality into singular aesthetic and semantic phenomena, and reconfigure them into new contexts of signification. It shows that design ethnography is a process in which the epistemic and creative elements flow into one another in iterative loops. The goal of design ethnography is not to colonize the discipline of design with a positivist and objectivist scientific ethos, but rather to reinforce and reflect upon the explorative and searching methods that are inherent to it. This innovative book is of interest to design researchers and professionals, including graphic artists, ethnographers, visual anthropologists and others involved with creative arts/media.

    This open access volume assesses the influence of our changing media environment. Today, there is not one single medium that is the driving force of change. With the spread of various technical communication media such as mobile phones and internet platforms, we are confronted with a media manifold of deep mediatization. But how can we investigate its transformative capability? This book answers this question by taking a non-media-centric perspective, researching the various figurations of collectivities and organizations humans are involved in. The first part of the book outlines a fundamental understanding of the changing media environment of deep mediatization and its transformative capacity. The second part focuses on collectivities and movements: communities in the city, critical social movements, maker, online gaming groups and networked groups of young people. The third part moves institutions and organizations into the foreground, discussing the transformation of journalism, religion, politics, and education, whilst the fourth and final part is dedicated to methodologies and perspectives.

    This open access book explores how young people engage with chemical substances in their everyday lives. It builds upon and supplements a large body of literature on young people’s use of drugs and alcohol to highlight the subjectivities and socialities that chemical use enables across diverse socio-cultural settings, illustrating how young people seek to avoid harm, while harnessing the beneficial effects of chemical use. The book is based on multi-sited anthropological research in Southeast Asia, Europe and the US, and presents insights from collaborative and contrasting analysis. Hardon brings new perspectives to debates across drug policy studies, pharmaceutical cultures and regulation, science and technology studies, and youth and precarity in post-industrial societies.

    This open access book applies insights from the anthropology of hospitality to illuminate ethnographic accounts of migrant reception in various parts of the Mediterranean. The contributors ground the idea and practice of hospitality in concrete ethnographic settings and challenge how the casual usage of Derridean or Kantian notions of hospitality can blur the boundaries between social scales and between metaphor and practice. Host-guest relations are multiplied through pregnancy and childbirth, and new forms of hospitality emerge with the need to offer mortuary practices for dead strangers, helping to illuminate the spatial and scalar dimensions of morality and politics in Mediterranean migrant reception.

  7. Methodological Approaches to Societies in Transformation : How to Make Sense of Change

    This open access book provides methodological devices and analytical frameworks for the study of societies in transformation. It explores a central paradox in the study of change: making sense of change requires long-term perspectives on societal transformations and on the different ways people experience social change, whereas the research carried out to study change is necessarily limited to a relatively short space of time. This volume offers a range of methodological responses to this challenge by paying attention to the complex entanglement of qualitative research and the metanarratives generally used to account for change. Each chapter is based on a concrete case study from different parts of the world and tackles a diversity of topics, analytical approaches, and data collection methods. The contributors’ innovative solutions provide valuable tools and techniques for all those interested in the study of change.

    In welchen Hinsichten es sich der im Auftrag Emmanuel Macrons erstellte Restitutionsbericht von Bénédicte Savoy und Felwine Sarr es sich zu einfach macht, legt Patrick Bahners Argument für Argument auseinander. Werner Krauß ist in wissenschaftlichem Auftrag als Ethnologe an der Nordsee unterwegs: Er beobachtet, wie mit dem Klimawandel vor Ort umgegangen wird – in seinen Beobachtungen erlebt man, wie der große Begriff durch Konkretisierung in viele Teile zerlegt wird. Emily Kern erklärt, warum die Geschichte vom Übergang der Menschheit vom Jäger- und Sammler-Dasein zur Sesshaftigkeit mit Ackerbau bei weitem nicht so simpel ist, wie sie lange erzählt worden ist. Cornelia Koppetsch weist in ihrer Soziologiekolumne darauf hin, wie sehr ein auf Universalität zielendes Weltbürgertum seinerseits exkludierend agiert. Friedrich Balke setzt sich mit Hans Blumenbergs frühen Feuilletons – teils unter dem Namen Axel Colly erschienen – auseinander. Friedrich Lenger spart nicht mit Kritik an Werner Plumpes mit Kritik an der Kapitalismuskritik nicht sparender Kapitalismusgeschichte. Günter Hack schreibt über allerlei Ungerechtigkeiten beim EU-Bürgerrecht. Wie weit ist die Gleichberechtigung in der Wissenschaft wirklich - fragt Hendrikje Schauer. Valentin Groebner befasst sich mit "kleinen Formen", aber um die Wissenschaft geht es auch. Claudia Basrawi ist auf den Spuren ihrer Kindheit in Beirut unterwegs. In Robin Detjes Schlusskolumne geht es um Bilderfluten im Internet vor oft unscharfem Hintergrund.
