Jahrbuch Migration und Gesellschaft / Yearbook Migration and Society 2022/2023
Migration is not a state of emergency, but a basic existential experience of humanity. It shapes contemporary societies by challenging established orders, creating transnational spaces beyond national hegemonies, creating new economies, influencing urban and communal ways of life, making inequality and precariousness visible locally and globally. Migration research as a social science does not narrow the focus to 'the migrants', but investigates the conditions for living together and shaping life between ethnicization and pluralization, discrimination and empowerment, division and participation. The Yearbook Migration and Society repeatedly turns the prism of narrative anew. The 2022/2023 edition focuses on the topic »Climate«.
Social Policy and Social Dimensions on Vulnerability and Resilience in Europe
There are two tendencies in present public discussions.Social problems have their causes in the individual, and are thus not a problem of socio-economic inequality. Consequently, we find an increasing policy in Europe of selfactivation and self-help as substitutes of social work. On the other hand, new types of social vulnerability and challenges for social work and social policy are detected which are discussed in the book in their European dimensions. Beginning in the last century in Europe, processes of social exclusion are discussed as common phenomena of the crisis in social welfare systems. They have their origins in the radical changes in paid employment, the weakening of family ties,...
Face Work and Social Media
On social media platforms - such as Facebook and Twitter, message boards, blogs, and commentaries - users interact as if they know each other personally. Malicious verbal behavior is found next to clapping and kissing emoticons, both indicative of users' relational work strategies. This book contains 17 papers that examine 'face work' in social media - theoretical reflections, as well as corpus-based studies - thus opening the way to rethink linguistic pragmatics in computer-mediated communication. (Series: Hildesheimer Contributions to Media Research / Hildesheimer Beitrage zur Medienforschung - Vol. 2) [Subject: Sociology, Media Studies, Communication, Computer Technology]
Transnational Aging
This book focuses on the diverse interrelationships between aging and transnationality. It argues that the lives of older people are increasingly entangled in transnational contexts on the social as well as the cultural, economic and political levels. Within these contexts, older people both actively contribute to and are affected by border-crossing processes. In addition, while some may voluntarily opt for adding a transnational dimension to their lives, others may have less choice in the matter. Transnational aging, therefore, provides a critical lens on how older people shape, organize and cope with life in contexts that are no longer bound to the frame of a single nation-state. According...
Theory and Best Practice Models in Educational Institutions in Spain and Italy
The current societal and social reality in Europe is undergoing far-reaching changes due to the phenomenon of migration. Educational policy and pedagogical practice play a key role in the academic support of immigrant children in schools. In this volume, the connections between societal change and educational issues in relation to two southern European nations, Spain and Italy, are analyzed. The stories of intercultural communication and integration of these two case studies focus on five themes: linguistic diversity, the performance gap, teacher training programs and school culture, the role of music education in multicultural and multilingual contexts, and the development of a supranational education as an improvement for multicultural education. The volume is of particular relevance for educational researchers, as well as for the interested general reader. It takes the reader to public and private entities in Italy and Spain, where intercultural education is part of societal discourse, and serves as a sounding board for the discussion of developments in other parts of Europe with similar demographics.

Alltag und Soziale Arbeit in der Corona-Pandemie
Wie ergeht es Menschen in ohnehin schon schwierigen Lebenslagen während der Corona-Krise? Ziel des Sammelbandes ist es, die Perspektive von Adressat*innen und Nutzer*innen Sozialer Arbeit auf die durch die Corona-Krise bedingten Veränderungen ihrer Alltagswelten und die Angebote Sozialer Arbeit empirisch aufzuzeigen. Hierzu werden im Sammelband sowohl erste empirische Analysen dargestellt als auch die vorliegenden Ergebnisse übergreifend auf Theoriedebatten sowie Impulse für Praxis und Forschung Sozialer Arbeit hin diskutiert.
Wer oder was handelt?
Vor dem Hintergrund aktueller gesellschaftlicher Entwicklungen, aber auch angesichts der Ausdifferenzierungen des theoretischen Feldes stellen sich der Hermeneutischen Wissenssoziologie neue Probleme und Herausforderungen, die mit der Infragestellung des Subjektkonzepts einhergehen. Das Anliegen dieses Bandes ist es, eine Verständigung innerhalb der Hermeneutischen Wissenssoziologie anzuregen. Von phänomenologischen und pragmatistischen Grundüberzeugungen ausgehend werden die subjekttheoretischen Grundlagen der Hermeneutischen Wissenssoziologie und deren Relevanz für eine sinnverstehende Rekonstruktion sozialer Wirklichkeit erörtert.
Soziale Arbeit grenzenlos
Soziale Arbeit sieht sich vielen Grenzen gegenüber, rechtlich, politisch, national und diszi-plinär. In dem Buch werden diese Grenzsetzungen aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven beleuchtet und Möglichkeiten von Grenzüberschreitungen reflektiert. Das bezieht sich ins-besondere auf „Social Advocacy“ und Fragen der Menschenrechte. Darüber hinaus wird die internationale Praxis Sozialer Arbeit in Augenschein genommen und gefragt, welche Lernerfahrungen mit Grenzgängen verbunden sind. Nicht zuletzt wird nach den Möglich-keiten und Grenzen des Europäischen Hochschulraums für die Aus- und Weiterbildung in den Gesundheits- und Sozialberufen gefragt.
