    Die vorliegende Arbeit widmet sich der Frage nach den sozialen Praxen und gesellschaftlichen Bedeutungen von Schönheit bei den Karo Batak in Sumatra, Indonesien. In Tanah Karo, einer agrarisch geprägten Hochebene, säumen Aerobic- Studios und Schönheitssalon die Straßen der zwei Kleinstädte Berastagi und Kabanjahe. Weibliche Schönheit in Form von Femininität gilt als modern. Moderne Weiblichkeit, die ihren Ausdruck in einem schönen Körper findet, wird durch ein komplexes Bündel von Diskursen und Praxen lokaler, nationaler und globaler Provenienz konstituiert. Ausgehend vom Körper, der als die vermittelnde Instanz zwischen Diskursen und Praxen verstanden wird, analysiert die Verfasserin die Komplexität des Themas Schönheit und Modernität aus Perspektive der Akteurinnen. Welche Ziele verfolgen sie mit der strategischen Aneignung des Ideals der modernen Weiblichkeit? Wie strukturieren soziale Positionen die jeweiligen Aneignungsprozesse? Die Verfasserin zeigt, wie die zunehmende Bedeutung von Schönheit mit Transformationen im Bereich der Geschlechterverhältnisse, des Konsums und der sozialen Differenzierung verknüpft ist. Moderne Weiblichkeit konstituiert sich an der Schnittstelle ästhetischer, aber vor allem auch sozialer, ökonomischer, kultureller, religiöser und moralischer Diskurse. Das zentrale Motiv der Akteurinnen für die Aneignung von als modern erachteten Schönheitsidealen stellt die Erweiterung der eigenen Handlungsfähigkeit in der patrilinearen Gesellschaft der Karo Batak dar. Die jeweiligen sozialen Positionen führen zu unterschiedlichen Formen der Aneignung, die in verschiedenen Formen moderner Weiblichkeit resultieren. Am Beispiel von Frauen der städtischen Mittelschicht, jungen Frauen vom Land und waria, Menschen mit weiblicher transgender-Identität, werden diese Aneignungsprozesse und ihre gesellschaftlichen Bedeutungen vergleichend diskutiert. Die Globalisierung von Schönheit, so lässt sich resümieren, bringt – selbst auf begrenzter lokaler Ebene – verschiedene moderne Weiblichkeiten hervor. Karya ini dikhususkan untuk pertanyaan tentang praktik sosial dan makna sosial keindahan di antara Batak Karo di Sumatra, Indonesia. Di Tanah Karo, dataran tinggi pertanian, studio aerobik, dan salon kecantikan berjejer di jalan di dua kota kecil Berastagi dan Kabanjahe. Kecantikan feminin dalam bentuk feminitas dianggap modern. Feminitas modern, yang menemukan ekspresinya dalam tubuh yang indah, dibentuk oleh kumpulan kompleks wacana dan praktik asal lokal, nasional dan global. Berawal dari tubuh yang dipahami sebagai perantara antara wacana dan praktik, penulis menganalisis kompleksitas topik kecantikan dan modernitas dari sudut pandang para aktor. Apa tujuan Anda secara strategis menerapkan cita-cita feminitas modern? Bagaimana posisi sosial menyusun proses apropriasi masing-masing? Penulis menunjukkan bagaimana semakin pentingnya kecantikan terkait dengan transformasi di bidang relasi gender, konsumsi, dan diferensiasi sosial. Feminitas modern dibentuk pada antarmuka estetika, tetapi di atas semua itu juga wacana sosial, ekonomi, budaya, agama dan moral. Motif sentral para pelaku perampasan cita-cita keindahan yang dianggap modern adalah perluasan kemampuan mereka sendiri dalam berakting dalam masyarakat patrilinear Batak Karo.Posisi sosial masing-masing mengarah pada bentuk apropriasi yang berbeda, yang berakibat pada perbedaan bentuk feminitas modern. Menggunakan contoh perempuan dari kelas menengah perkotaan, perempuan muda dari pedesaan dan waria, orang-orang dengan identitas transgender perempuan, proses apropriasi dan makna sosialnya akan dibahas secara komparatif. Globalisasi kecantikan, dapat disimpulkan, menghasilkan - bahkan pada tingkat lokal yang terbatas - berbagai femininitas modern. (diterjemahkan dengan Google Translate)

    Data on job advertisements from 1950 up to 2020 reveal that there was a significant change among Swiss employers' stated preferences regarding their prospective employees' gender. More specifically, the proportion of gender-neutral job posts increased from 5 to almost 95 percent within the observation period. To further corroborate and contextualize this finding, I complement it with time series on the relative frequency of several specific queries, such as equality between men and women, from Google's German language book corpus. These additional series are broadly consistent with the evolution of the share of gender-neutral job posts. However, it also appears that there are two distinct narratives, one concerned with the personal sphere, identity and intimate relationships, the other with the political and public realm. Interestingly, the narrative on personal relations set off considerably earlier than the change in the proportion of gender-neutral job ads. Overall, the evidence from the different data series shows that gender norms have changed substantively, yet in a complex manner, over the past decades.

    We propose a novel perspective on migration and cultural change by asking both theoretically and empirically - and from a global viewpoint - whether migration is a source of cultural convergence or divergence between home and host countries. Our theoretical model derives distinctive testable predictions as to the sign and direction ofconvergence for various compositional and cultural diffusion mechanisms. We use the World Value Survey for 1981-2014 to build time-varying measures of cultural similarity for a large number of country pairs and exploit within country-pair variation over time. Our results support migration-based cultural convergence, with cultural remittances as its main driver. In other words and in contrast to the populist narrative, we find that while immigrants do act as vectors of cultural diffusion, this is mostly to export the host country culture back home.

    This paper studies the effects of local threat on cultural and economic assimilation of refugees, exploiting plausibly exogenous variation in their allocation across German regions between 2013 and 2016. We combine novel survey data on cultural preferences and economic outcomes of refugees with corresponding information on German respondents, and construct a threat index that integrates contemporaneous and historical variables. On average, refugees assimilate both culturally and economically. However, while refugees assigned to more hostile regions converge to German culture more quickly, they do not exhibit faster economic assimilation. Our evidence suggests that refugees exert more assimilation effort in response to local threat, but that higher discrimination prevents them from integrating more quickly in more hostile regions.
