Ranging from the American Revolution to Kosovo in the 1990s, from Egypt under colonial rule to present-day West Papua and Palestine, the authors of Recovering Nonviolent History consider several key questions: What kinds of civilian-based nonviolent strategy and tactics have been used in liberation struggles? What accounts for their successes and failures? Not least, how did nonviolent resistance influence national identities and socioeconomic and political institutions both prior to and after liberation, and why has this history been so often ignored?
This book examines print and electronic media in the United States of America, Europe, and China. Electronic communication affects daily life worldwide. Theoretical and empirical studies explore our increasingly media-centric world. This book studies how media (print, broadcasting, Internet) affects political socialization.
Cataloguing the World’s Endangered Languages brings together the results of the extensive and influential Catalogue of Endangered Languages (ELCat) project. Based on the findings from the most extensive endangered languages research project, this is the most comprehensive source of accurate information on endangered languages. The book presents the academic and scientific findings that underpin the online Catalogue, located at www.endangeredlanguages.com, making it an essential companion to the website for academics and researchers working in this area. While the online Catalogue displays much data from the ELCat project, this volume develops and emphasizes aspects of the research behind the data and includes topics of great interest in the field, not previously covered in a single volume. Cataloguing the World’s Endangered Languages is an important volume of particular interest to academics and researchers working with endangered languages.
Information structure is a relatively new field to linguistics and has only recently been studied for smaller and less described languages. This book is the first of its kind that brings together contributions on information structure in Austronesian languages. Current approaches from formal semantics, discourse studies, and intonational phonology are brought together with language specific and cross-linguistic expertise of Austronesian languages. The 13 chapters in this volume cover all subgroups of the large Austronesian family, including Formosan, Central Malayo-Polynesian, South Halmahera-West New Guinea, and Oceanic. The major focus, though, lies on Western Malayo-Polynesian languages. Some chapters investigate two of the largest languages in the region (Tagalog and different varieties of Malay), others study information-structural phenomena in small, underdescribed languages. The three overarching topics that are covered in this book are NP marking and reference tracking devices, syntactic structures and information-structural categories, and the interaction of information structure and prosody. Various data types build the basis for the different studies compiled in this book. Some chapters investigate written texts, such as modern novels (cf. Djenar's chapter on modern, standard Indonesian), or compare different text genres, such as, for example, oral narratives and translations of biblical narratives (cf. De Busser's chapter on Bunun). Most contributions, however, study natural spoken speech and make use of spoken corpora which have been compiled by the authors themselves. The volume comprises a number of different methods and theoretical frameworks. Two chapters make use of the Question Under Discussion approach, developed in formal semantics (cf. the chapters by Latrouite & Riester; Shiohara & Riester). Riesberg et al. apply the recently developed method of Rapid Prosody Transcription (RPT) to investigate native speakers' perception of prosodic prominences and boundaries in Papuan Malay. Other papers discuss theoretical consequences of their findings. Thus, for example, Himmelmann takes apart the most widespread framework for intonational phonology (ToBI) and argues that the analysis of Indonesian languages requires much simpler assumptions than the ones underlying the standard model. Arka & Sedeng ask the question how fine-grained information structure space should be conceptualized and modelled, e.g. in LFG. Schnell argues that elements that could be analysed as "topic" and "focus" categories, should better be described in terms of 'packaging' and do not necessarily reflect any pragmatic roles in the first place.

This volume analyses Jewish-Muslim interactions across North Africa and France in the 20th and 21st centuries, through an examination of performance culture, across the genres of theatre, music, film, art, and stand-up. We explore influence and cooperation between Jewish and Muslim performers from Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, and diaspora communities in France.
Contests over knowledge are central to contests over environments. Many of those contests are not just about Ægood scienceÆ or æbad scienceÆ, but over the idea of nature itself: the idea that the nature that science makes known to the world is set apart from æcultureÆ or æsocietyÆ, or that nature is comprised of objects û rivers, fish, soil û the knowledge of which lies outside of social life and democratic politics. Contested Ecologies: Dialogues in the South on Nature and Knowledge focuses on moments in which contests over ecology become moments for rethinking this ecology of knowledge. The chapters cover a wide variety of settings-from urban Cape Town to indigenous activism in Peru; from MugabeÆs Zimbabwe to the Beguela ecosystem fisheries, and include protected areas in the Aboriginal territories of northern Australia. Contested Ecologies could be read as an enlightened report on the status of knowledge worldwide. Not only does it demonstrate, with a powerful collective voice from the Global South that will be difficult to ignore, that differences between knowledges ineluctably imply differences among forms of making the world, it actually succeeds in exemplifying paths for genuine and constructive conversations across seemingly intractable divides. The volume offers the first concrete demonstration that it is indeed possible to go beyond the alleged rift between nature and culture, moving us closer towards the elusive goal of healing our planet through new knowledge formations. At a time when the academy seems mired in training students to perform well in so-called 'globalization' (understood as market success), this courageous volume represents a breath of fresh air in the debates over how to re-imagine the university as a central player in the construction of a new ethics of life. Arturo Escobar, Kenan Distinguished Professor of Anthropology, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, Extraordinarily interesting ... A new anthropology is afoot. Contested Ecologies sets out a new approach beyond the boundaries of modernity as we know it. Here different versions of nature are at play, and a 'political ontology' has emerged to grasp this problem. Cosmopolitics comes into its own in this collection.
