Multispecies Ethnography
How are natures and animals integrated inclusively into research projects through Multispecies Ethnography? While preceded by a vision that seeks to question holistically how scientists can integrate natures and animals into research projects through Multispecies Ethnography, this book focuses on inter- and multidisciplinary collaboration. From an examination of the interfaces between social and natural science-oriented disciplines, a complex view of natures, humans, and animals emerges. The insights into interdependencies of different disciplines illustrate the need for a Multispecies Ethnography to analyze HumansAnimalsNaturesCultures. While the methodology is innovative and currently not ...
Chicken Egg Yolk Antibodies, Production and Application
Polyclonal antibodies, widely used in research and diagnostics, are conventionally isolated from the blood of immunised mammals. The fact that antibodies can also be detected in the yolk of eggs laid by immunised hens, led to the development of the yolk antibody technology as an alternative method less stressful to animals. Hens can be kept under nearly natural conditions and antibodies be isolated from the eggs. Further, the IgY-technology has the advantage that avian antibodies can be produced against several antigens which do not induce a immune response in mammals. Protocols on how to keep and immunise hens and on the extraction, isolation and use of antibodies from yolk are described in detail in this manual. For their work on yolk antibodies the authors received the FISEA (International Foundation for the Substitution of Animal Experimentation, Luxembourg) prize in 1997.
Conviviality in Contexts of Religious Plurality
How do religious individuals, communities, and political institutions navigate diversity and how do they foster social cohesion? This volume focuses on convivial practices in religiously diverse settings and includes theoretical, empirical, and practice-oriented approaches. Through an interdisciplinary lens the contributors examine conceptual reflections, boundary work, rituals, multilingualism, and spatial dynamics. This volume represents an important milestone in conviviality research and provides valuable insights for further research in the fields of theology, religious studies, and sociology.
Key Terms of Public History
This volume introduces key terms of public history and makes them accessible via the most important subject areas and central research perspectives. It is aimed at students, teachers and practitioners who deal with history in the public sphere and offers approaches to the theoretical foundation of public history as part of historical cultural studies.
Other Worlds, Other Bodies
When approaching the multiplicity of the spiritual experiences of healing, ethnographers are often presented with ideas of the existence of “other” worlds that may intersect with the so-called “material” or “physical” worlds. This book addresses the density of ethnographic experience that can potentially decondition personal ontologies and epistemologies, unfolding a process of transformation, analogous to healing. Epistemological embodiment signals that personal scholarly experience of the “unknown”—be it in the form of trance, or as the embodiment of an “other”—shapes the concepts of healing, body, trance, self, and matter by which ethnographers craft out analysis.
Kirchenräume in Wien
Der Band beleuchtet die gesellschaftliche und politische Dimension katholischer Kirchenbauten und Kirchenräume in Geschichte und Gegenwart und untersucht diese als Orte der Aushandlung und Reproduktion sozialer Ordnungen. Anhand von Wiener Beispielen aus dem 18. bis 20. Jahrhundert wird der Zusammenhang von Kirchenraum und Stadtraum ebenso thematisiert wie die Engführung von Religion und Politik in der Habsburgermonarchie und im Politischen Katholizismus seit 1918. Gleichzeitig entwickelt die Studie einen allgemeinen kulturtheoretischen Rahmen für die Analyse sakraler Architektur. Ihr Ziel ist es, die Materialität von Kirchenräumen in ihrer Bedeutung für gesellschaftliches Handeln historisch konkret zu verfolgen sowie praxistheoretisch zu reflektieren und damit zu einer neuen Sicht auf religiöse Praktiken, aber auch auf sakralisierte Politik beizutragen.
