This volume is a collection of papers based on the idea that the concept of similarity could offer a new, alternative approach in culture studies, as compared to the hitherto dominant paradigm of difference. The concepts of identity and otherness are both becoming ever more questionable, not least due to global political events of the last few decades. The assumption of distinct cultural identities in the era of postmodern migratory flows seems increasingly inadequate. Though the postcolonial critique of identity has emphasized alterity and hybridity, this has remained within the paradigm of difference as an overall perspective. For these reasons, it is important not only to discuss, but also to reflect upon whether a concept of similarity can be developed alongside the concept of difference which has hitherto dominated culture studies. The category of similarity offers an alternative for examining our complex cultural world.

This book seeks to introduce and explore important and exemplary interpretations of similarity for research in culture studies. The essays presented here come from literary and cultural studies, from philosophy, political science, sociology, ethnology, and history. The essays are arranged according to their systematic perspectives: the first part of the book deals with conceptual attempts to establish the relevance of similarity for culture studies, while the second part is devoted to testing different areas and models of application. The book explores the theoretical range of the concept of similarity in historical and systematic terms. Similarity is seen not only as a heuristic concept, but also as an argument and an alternative option in cultural practice. That is why it was discredited by suggesting that it supported an assimilationist position leading to a forceful adjustment of cultures, gender, or religion. In addition, similarity and thinking in similarity were supposedly part of a premodern way of thinking belonging to other times and places, part of primitive stages of culture or a premodern epoch, and therefore part of a different order of things which was distinct from a rationalist modern epoch in which only exact concepts are valid. Thinking in similarity does in fact oppose the desire to draw precise borders and exact definitions. But this supposed drawback can be an advantage when dealing with complex phenomena of culture where fluid transitions, multiple overlappings, and broad spatial borders are given. The specific epistemological achievement of the category of similarity consists in offering new ways of seeing the diffuse dynamics and fuzzy relations characteristic of our contemporary complex and entangled world. Thinking about similarity opens different possibilities for dealing with the problems of complex societies than do methodologies focused on differences. Thinking about similarity should not be (mis-)understood as a false form of harmonization or leveling of differences. Rather, considerations of similarity contain a subversive potential to expose the claimed antagonisms and radical incompatibilities of opposition, differences, as nothing more than ideology.

Описание: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2013 im Fachbereich VWL - Arbeitsmarkt konomik, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Arbeitslosigkeit ist eines der gr ten Probleme der heutigen Zeit. Besonders problematisch ist die Arbeitslosigkeit von Jugendlichen. Die Jugendlichen sind die Zukunft der Gesellschaft. Daher ist es aus diversen Gr nden wichtig, dass ihre Kreativit t und ihre Potenziale nicht verschenkt werden. In dieser Arbeit besch ftige ich mich mit der Jugendarbeitslosigkeit in den Staaten der Europ ischen Union. Ich werde darstellen, welche Folgen Arbeitslosigkeit f r Jugendliche hat und wie die Jugendarbeitslosenquote sich seit der Gr ndung der EU bis heute ver ndert hat. Der besondere Fokus liegt hier bei der Entwicklung seit dem Ausbruch der "Eurokrise." Au erdem werde ich beschreiben, welche Ma nahmen von Seiten der Mitgliedsstaaten und der Europ ischen Union ergriffen wurden, um Jugendarbeitslosigkeit zu verhindern. Damit soll die Frage beantwortet werden, wie wichtig das Thema Jugendarbeitslosigkeit f r die gesamte EU ist und warum in Zukunft alles daf r getan werden sollte, um die Erwerbslosigkeit von Jugendlichen endg ltig zu beseitigen. Die statistischen Daten zur Jugendarbeitslosigkeit in Europa beziehen sich auf Berechnungen von "Eurostat." Eine wichtige Quelle f r diese Arbeit ist das Buch "Jugendarbeitslosigkeit in der Europ ischen Union - Integration oder Marginalisierung" von Barabara Tham. Thams Ausf hrungen ber die Entwicklung der Jugendarbeitslosigkeit in der EU seit ihrer Gr ndung und ihre Ansichten zur Relevanz von Jugendarbeitslosigkeit f r die Gesellschaft sind ein wichtiger Baustein der folgenden Arbeit.

Описание: In Origins of the Federal Reserve System, James Livingston approaches this controversial topic from a fresh perspective, asking how, during this era, a "new order of corporation men" made itself the preeminent source of knowledge on all significant economic issues and thereby changed the character of public and political discourse in the United States.
