Jewish and
Islamic histories have long been interrelated. Both traditions emerged from
ancient cultures born in the Middle East and both are rooted in texts and
traditions that have often excluded women. At the same time, both groups have
recently seen a resurgence in religious orthodoxy among women, as well as
growing feminist movements that challenge traditional religious structures. In the
United States, Jews and Muslims operate as minority cultures, carving out a
place for religious and ethnic distinctiveness. The time is ripe for a volume
that explores the relationship between these two religions through the prism of
gender.



Gender in Judaism and Islam brings together
scholars working in the fields of Judaism and Islam to address a diverse range
of topics, including gendered readings of texts, legal issues in marriage and
divorce, ritual practices, and women's literary expressions
and historical experiences, along with feminist influences within the Muslim
and Jewish communities and issues affecting Jewish and Muslim women in
contemporary society. Carefully crafted, including section introductions by the
editors to highlight big picture insights offered by the contributors, the
volume focuses attention on the theoretical innovations that gender scholarship
has brought to the study of Muslim and Jewish experiences.
At a time
when Judaism and Islam are often discussed as though they were inherently at
odds, this book offers a much-needed reconsideration of the connections and
commonalties between these two traditions. It offers new insights into each of
these cultures and invites comparative perspectives that deepen our
understanding of both Islam and Judaism.

Описание: Urban culture is the culture of towns and cities. Research on urban cultures naturally focuses on their defining institution, the city, and the lifeways, or cultural forms that grow up within cities. The idea of race refers to superficial physical differences that a particular society considers significant, while ethnicity is a term that describes shared culture. And minority groups describes groups that are subordinate or lacking power in society regardless of skin colour or country of origin. Like race, the term ethnicity is difficult to describe and its meaning has changed over time. And like race, individuals may be identified or self-identify with ethnicities in complex, even contradictory, ways. For example, ethnic groups such as Irish, Italian American, Russian, Jewish, and Serbian might all be groups whose members are predominantly included in the racial category white. Ethnicity, like race, continues to be an identification method that individuals and institutions use today -- whether through the census, affirmative action initiatives, non-discrimination laws, or simply in personal day-to-day relations. Increasingly during the modern era, the trend toward equal rights and legal protection against racism has steadily reduced the social stigma attached to racial exogamy. The Romance of Culture in an Urban Civilisation offers the study of race and ethnic relations by providing a forum for scholars, researchers, advocates, and policy analysts to present in-depth examinations of critical issues relevant to and associated with racial and ethnic groups. It presents theory and quantitative and qualitative methodologies in an exploration of race and ethnic relations. It provides the benefits of knowledge that will assist in achieving positive structural changes in modern race and ethnic relations. An array of approaches to understanding contemporary an urban experience, both lived and imagined, is evaluated with care. It aims to facilitate a diverse range of critical investigations into pressing questions considered to be central to current thinking and research.

Описание: New materialism has emerged over the past 20 years as an approach concerned fundamentally with the material workings of power, but focused firmly upon social production rather than social construction. Applied to empirical research radically extends traditional materialist analysis beyond traditional concerns with structural and macro level social phenomena, addressing issues of how desires, feelings and meanings also contribute to social production. New Materialism is currently having a profound effect across disciplines. Rooted in post-Marxist thinking, but spreading out on the flat ontology of networks, objects and bodies, New Materialism is an interdisciplinary discussion on the properties of matter in terms of agency, ethical responsibility and immanence. Along with post-humanism, the Anthropocene, nonrepresentational theories and post-Deleuzian thought, New Materialism asks us to reconsider the nature of the human and the non-human, the difference between actual and virtual, the emergence of politics and law in the face of ubiquitous materiality and, above all, the new responsibilities that come with it all. Sociology and the New Materialism: Theory, Research, Action discusses issues of research design and methods in new materialist social inquiry, an approach that is attracting increasing interest across the social sciences as an alternative to either realist or constructionist ontologies. New materialism de-privileges human agency, focusing instead upon how assemblages of the animate and inanimate together produce the world, with fundamental implications for social inquiry methodology and methods. Conversely, new materialism takes matter as a lively and active participant in social life, problematises core hierarchical binaries such as human/nonhuman, living/non-living, and idealism/materialism, and expands the remit of what constitutes social life. Questioning these binaries renders humans as part of a flatter ontology than we might normally think. This book also considers how core social concerns of responsibility and sustainability might be transformed when we pay attention to the forces and capacities of materialities.
