  • Bedreigingen Gericht Tegen Politiemensen
    BEDREIGINGEN IN NEDERLAND Verkenning in opdracht van Politie en Wetenschap Frank Bovenkerk en anderen Willem Pompe Instituut Universiteit Utrecht Augustus 2005 1 Woord vooraf Vanaf 2002 worden plotseling in Nederland allerlei prominente personen met de dood bedreigd. Hoe moeten de slachtoffers en instanties daarop reageren? Voor het beveiligen van kwetsbare prominenten zal een beleid worden ontwikkeld. Moeten bedreigde mensen worden aangemoedigd om vooral aangifte te doen bij de politie, of moet men juist stimuleren dat de slachtoffers hun eigen probleem oplossen? Hoe onderscheid je serieuze bedreigingen van emotionele uitbarstingen zonder vervolg? Moet je (een beetje) toegeven aan de eisen die de bedreigers stellen om met ze in onderhandeling te kunnen raken, of moet dat vooral niet gebeuren omdat dan veel meer mensen zich aangemoedigd voelen om een doodsbedreiging uit te zenden via een geniepig e-mailtje? De Stichting Politie en Wetenschap beheert een fonds om wetenschappelijk onderzoek te doen naar nieuwe en lastige criminaliteitsproblemen waarmee de politie wordt geconfronteerd. In de zomer van 2004 vroeg men aan de sectie Criminologie van het Willem Pompe Instituut voor Strafrechtswetenschappen van de Universiteit Utrecht over het onderwerp bedreigingen een snelle eerste oriëntatie te maken en daar op de korte termijn van een halfjaar al over te rapporteren. Het resultaat zou worden gebruikt om te bepalen 2 of er aanleiding bestaat voor verdergaand onderzoek en om de gedachten over toekomstig beleid aan te scherpen. We besloten de uitdaging aan te nemen door alle vaste criminologiemedewerkers alsmede de gehele klas van de eenjarige masteropleiding ‘culturele criminologie’ die juist in deze periode van start ging voor het onderzoek in te zetten.

While it has been argued that national cinema contributes to the imagination of a cohesive national identity, migration and the resulting ethnic diversity in contemporary societies urges us to rethink the role of cinema in the construction of national identities.

  • Multiculuralism, Muslims and Citizenship
    Multiculturalism, Muslims and Citizenship Multiculturalism, Muslims and Citizenship investigates the European dimension of multi- culturalism and immigration. This book argues that the political theory discourse of multiculturalism and resulting policies in this area assume an interpretation of liberalism that has developed from the American experience, rather than the European, and that this issue must be addressed. Much of the theoretical debate until now understates the normative power of majority/state nationality, and overlooks the diverse societal and political contexts that may condition multicultural debates in different countries. Most seriously, such debate misses out the central feature of the multicultural challenge in Western Europe today: the assertion of religious–communal, especially Muslim, identities in polities whose self-image is secular. This book argues, therefore, that a European theory must focus on different normative and political dilemmas than a North American one and must interrogate the claims for and against secularism. Multiculturalism, Muslims and Citizenship is truly interdisciplinary in scope (combining sociological, political science and discourse analytical themes) and thus presents a fresh and unique perspective on multiculturalism and citizenship in Western Europe today. It offers a comparative and coherent series of national case studies by a diverse range of leading scholars in the field, which provide a theoretical framework for the volume as a whole. This is essential reading for advanced undergraduates, researchers and policy makers interested in immigration, multiculturalism, European integration, Islamic studies and ethnicities. Tariq Modood is Professor of Sociology, Politics and Public Policy and the founding Director of the Centre for the Study of Ethnicity and Citizenship at the University of Bristol, UK.

Kunsten in beweging 1980-2000. Sdu Uitgevers, Den Haag 2004 Zie voor verantwoording: http://www.dbnl.org/tekst/meij017cult02_01/colofon.php © 2009 dbnl / Rosemarie Buikema en Maaike Meijer v Cultuur en migratie in Nederland Voorwoord bij de reeks Voor u ligt het tweede deel van de boekenreeks Cultuur en migratie in Nederland. In de vijf delen van deze reeks wordt vanuit diverse invalshoeken bekeken hoe de Nederlandse cultuur de laatste honderd jaar is veranderd door de komst van migranten. De Nederlandse cultuur is altijd in beweging geweest, niet alleen door de invloed van migranten, maar wel mede daardoor. De veranderingen in onze cultuur leidden in de afgelopen eeuw tot hevige maatschappelijk discussies. Daarbij kwam steeds de vraag terug: wat houdt de Nederlandse cultuur precies in? Het doel van deze reeks is het aanbieden van gegevens waaruit een nieuw antwoord op die oude vraag afgeleid kan worden. Uit de vele verhalen over culturele veranderingen die deze vijf delen vertellen, rijst een onverwacht dynamisch beeld op van de Nederlandse cultuur: het beeld van een bewegelijke veelheid van culturen, die steeds nieuwe verbindingen met elkaar aangaan. In deze reeks kunt u lezen op welke manier de culturen en tradities die migranten meebrachten - of die hen vooruitsnelden doordat Nederlanders ze al van ‘elders’ hadden opgepikt - zich hebben gemengd met autochtone culturele gewoonten. Op sommige terreinen hebben culturele confrontaties niet geleid tot vermenging en wederzijdse beïnvloeding, maar juist tot afscheiding en afstoting, en tot het zich terugtrekken in subculturen.
