Dynamic Belonging
World Jewry today is concentrated in the US and Israel, and while distinctive Judaic approaches and practices have evolved in each society, parallels also exist. This volume offers studies of substantive and creative aspects of Jewish belonging. While research in Israel on Judaism has stressed orthodox or “extreme” versions of religiosity, linked to institutional life and politics, moderate and less systematized expressions of Jewish belonging are overlooked. This volume explores the fluid and dynamic nature of identity building among Jews and the many issues that cut across different Jewish groupings. An important contribution to scholarship on contemporary Jewry, it reveals the often unrecognized dynamism in new forms of Jewish identification and affiliation in Israel and in the Diaspora.

The Challenge of Minority Integration
How is solidarity achieved in highly diverse societies - particularly those that have been until recently characterized by rather homogeneous populations? What are the implications of growing levels of diversity on existing social arrangements? These two fundamental questions are explored in this edited collection, which examines the challenges of minority integration in four Nordic countries: Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden. These nations represent paradigmatic examples of social democratic welfare states that place a premium on a robust package of social rights, combined with policies aimed at reducing levels of class-based inequality and promoting gender equity. All four of these nat...
人籟論辨月刊109期 沒有戶籍的消費欲
成都，中國內陸地區的重要門戶，川西平原上的天府之國。放眼當代中國，如果說北京、上海、廣州三大都會區是國際上與人爭強鬥勝的剛硬「面子」；那麼成都，應該稱得上家門裡慢步穩行的細緻「裡子」。成都是極少數能以文化多元、生態友善、環境宜居做為自我標榜的中國大型城市。然而，這卻讓世人往往忽略了它同時也有追逐成長數字的經濟野心與競爭力。 如今中國經濟正在面臨轉型考驗，國政府近來提出以新型「城鎮化」帶動更大範圍的「工業化」，期許「兩化互動」能創造內需市場，以避免不久在薪資優勢消失...
Essays on Cultural Blogging, Everyday Ethnography and the Postmodern Self
Essay from the year 2010 in the subject Communications - Miscellaneous, , language: English, abstract: In this collection of essays, I publish my postings into a blog that grew side-by-side with my other research initiatives in 2007. As blogging goes mainstream, so grew my sense that what I have put together earlier to follow through on my intuitions at the time may deserve to be published in an e-book format.

As a social class and as a space of positions within the general social structure their very emergence have become possible through the creation of the market for cultural goods from one side, and t...
Towards Theorization of Postcolonial Literature in the Global Culture of the Integrated Spectacle
Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2006 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: Pass, The University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, course: Comprehensive Doctoral Examination, language: English, abstract: In an attempt "to construct what John Hinkson calls a "social theory of postmodernity" that is adequately global (Hinkson 1990)" (Appadurai 1996), I propose to bring the theorization of postcolonial literature to bear on the treatise on The Society of the Spectacle by Guy Debord (1994). To forge the connection between two such disparate texts I take recourse to Arjun Appadurai’s book Modernity at Large: Cultural Dimensions of Globaliza...
