Anthropological Abstracts Anthropological Abstracts Cultural/Social Anthropology from German-speaking countries edited by Ulrich Oberdiek Volume 3.2004 ___________ LIT Contents Editorial 4 General/Theoretical/Historical Studies 9 Regional Studies Africa 133 The Americas 191 Asia 219 Australia & Oceania 261 Europe 267 Periodicals scanned 327 Author Index 295 Subject Index Editorial This reference journal is published once a year and announces most publications in the field of cultural/social anthropology from the German language area (Austria, Germany, Switzerland). Since many of these publications have been written in German, and most German publications are not included in major, English language abstracting services, Anthropological Abstracts (AA) offers an opportunity and convenient source of information for anthropologists who do not read German to become aware of anthropological publications in German- speaking countries. Included are journal articles, monographs, anthologies, exhibition catalogs, yearbooks, etc., published in German. Occasionally, publications in English, or French, are included as well if the publisher is less well-known and when it is likely that the publication will not be noted abroad. The present printed volume of Anthropological Abstracts (AA) (2.2003) includes no. www-4 of the internet version (www.anthropology-online.de ’ Anthropological Abstracts ’ no. 4.2003); the printed version has about 30% additional material, however. Starting from the present volume the layout (size of script etc.) has been changed to ensure better readability. Some technical remarks This reference journal uses a combined and flexible approach of representation: While in most cases abstracts are supplied, for some anthologies and journals (e.g., Zeitschrift für Kulturaustausch, Kea) - because of space limitations - the Current Contents principle is applied, i.e. only authors and titles are printed. So technically, this is a combinded approach: that of an Abstracting reference journal, and the Current Contents principle listing names and titles only; all of the material has been indexed, however. Abstracts supplied by authors are marked by ## before and after the abstract. Due to space limitations they may be abbreviated. Up to three editors of an anthology will be listed. Only those papers in journals, yearbooks, catalogs and anthologies will be abstracted that are relevant to cultural/social anthropology - which is mainly applicable in the case of interdisciplinary publications. AA also tries to cover subjects related to, or influencing, anthropology, i.e. if they are relevant for present discourses. Thus, there may be material from history, folklore studies, linguistics, sociology, philosophy, etc., if there is an intersection with present debates in anthropology. Keywords after each abstract serve as an "abstract of the abstract" - for quick reference. Page numbers in the Subject Index refer to the page of Keywords listings; i.e. the abstracted article or book may begin on the preceding page. Regarding alphabetical order the German Umlaut (ä, ö, ü) will be broken up into ae, oe, ue in the text, but is disregarded in the indexes. The publishers, museums and research institutions must be thanked for their generally prompt deliveries of the books requested for Anthropological Abstracts. And last but not least: many thanks to Veit Hopf (LIT Verlag) for publishing this journal!

Then Alfred Schütz' phenomenological foundation of sociology is described, followed by P. Berger's and T. Luckmann's 'societal construction of reality' and the 'institutionalization of social order', H. Garfinkel's ethnomethodology as a theory of everyday life action, and finally E.

This shift started some twenty years ago and has been termed the pictorial, iconic, or visual turn. In this process the reflection on photographic sources originating from the colonial encounter has played an important role.## HOLZER, ANTON: Der Weg und die Fotografie [The way and photography] KLEIN, THORALF: The Basel Mission as a transcultural organization: photographs of Chinese Christians and the problem of agency PALMA, MARISOL: Konstruktion, Sammlung und Archiv: Zur sozialen Biografie der Feuerland-Fotografien von Martin Gusinde [Construction, collection, and archive: On the social biography of the Tierra del Fuego photographs of Martin Gusinde] FARDON, RICHARD: The ethnologist and the missionaries: recording the 1908 Lela in Bali Nyonga FREY NÄF, BARBARA: Imaging the past: historicising portraits of the Kodagu and Nilgiri regions, South-East India JENKINS, PAUL: Camera evangelistica - camera lucida?

Current trends and methods of anthropological urban research Cities are characterized by diverse and dense populations, highly artificial environments and the permanence of a public realm. In urban life, people of diverse backgrounds interact often intensively, but know each other only very partially, e.g. only by social category. Cities are nodes of the movement of goods, energy, information and the migration of people within a built environment. Anthropology in cities is hampered by the ethnographic tradition of research in rural populations conceived as environmentally circumscribed and spatially fixed. Despite this, modern anthropology provides unique insights into urbanism, especially on micro structure, networks, symbols and the emic dimension of urban life. The author proposes some directions of future research regarding themes and methods. Urban anthropological theory should seek to disentangle the phenomena of urbanism and urbanism from modernity and postmodernity. Classical methods of urban anthropological research, such as extended case analysis and network analysis can deliver specific insights not provided by other urban disciplines. These methods should be reanimated and amended by participatory approaches, which are scientifically revealing and practically useful. A stronger comparative approach is generally required in urban anthropology. There is a broad spectrum of new data types and methods of collecting and analysing data available.## Keywords: urban anthropology, public space, population density, density of population, space and

  • Edu Immigration ACCEPTED.Pdf (882.2Kb)
    ARTICLE Does education affect immigration attitudes? Evidence from an education reform / Henning Finseraas, Øyvind Søraas Skorge, Marte Strøm VERSION: POST PRINT/GREEN OPEN ACCESS This document is the author’s post print (final accepted version). The document is archived in the institutional archive of Institute for Social Research. The final publication is available in: Electoral Studies 2018, / DOI: 10.1016/j.electstud.2018.06.009 does education affect immigration attitudes? Evidence from an education reform∗ Henning Finseraas,y Øyvind Skorge,z and Marte Strømx Accepted for publication in Electoral Studies July 2, 2018 Abstract Empirical research consistently finds that people with high education have more liberal immigration attitudes. To what extent this relationship reflects a causal effect of education is, however, largely unknown. We rely on the staggered introduction of a major Norwegian education reform to get exogenous variation in respondents’ level of education. The reform lifted the bottom of the education distribution by increasing the compulsory years of education by two years. We find no significant differences in immigration attitudes between those who were educated in the old and the new education system. Our results suggest that if education has a causal effect on immigration attitudes, it is likely to operate on other education margins. ∗We would like to thank seminar participants at the Institute for Social Research, Frisch Center for Economic Research, and University of Bergen for comments on a previous draft of the paper.

  • Angående FOT Ruter Fra 2022 Høringsuttalelse Fra Flyplassutvalget Ved Harstad/Narvik Lufthavn Evenes
    Angående FOT ruter fra 2022 Høringsuttalelse fra Flyplassutvalget ved Harstad/Narvik lufthavn Evenes Bakgrunn Fylkeskommunene overtar ansvaret for FOT-flyrutene i fylkene fra Samferdselsdepartementet 1. april 2022, ved igangsetting av ny kontrakt. Denne kontrakten planlegges for perioden 2022 – 2027. I forkant av kontraktsoppstart skal fylkeskommunen gjennomføre anskaffelse, og det er planlagt igangsetting av anbudsprosess sent 2020 eller tidlig 2021. Evenes har fra nyttår fått på plass en viktig FOT forbindelse ti og fra Bodø med 2 avganger daglig. Denne knyttes til eksisterende rute Evenes – Tromsø. Begge kontraktene betjenes av Widerøes Flyveselskap. For regionen er begge disse forbindelsene viktig både ift fylkeshovedstedenes offentlige tjenester og for private reisende. Flyplassutvalget mener: De store endringene i reisevaner som koronapandemien har ført til har også endret betingelsene for finansieringen av FOT-rutene. Billettinntektene utgjør en vesentlig del av finansieringen i dag. Under pandemien har i gjennomsnitt 40 % av billettinntektene forsvunnet. Hvis passasjertallene i 2022 bedrer seg, men likevel ligger 20% under normalen før korona utgjør det et tap i Nordland alene på 100 MNOK. I denne situasjonen vil operatøren kunne ha behov for 100 millioner ekstra for å opprettholde eksisterende rutetilbud. Dette er ikke utgifter fylkeskommunene kan pålegges. Flyplassutvalget er derfor av den klare oppfatning at det må være tilstrekkelig finansiering til stede fra staten for å opprettholde dagens tilbud og frekvens Evenes-Bodø og Evenes-Tromsø også fra april 2022. Vi vil understreke at 2 avganger pr dag i hver retning uansett er et absolutt minimum for å ivareta viktige samfunnsfunksjoner og nødvendig samhandling innad i fylkene og regionene Flyplassutvalget vil fortsette å jobbe i forhold til sentrale myndigheter, samt fylkene for å kunne beholde et minimumstilbud i en luftfart preget av korona tiltak og effekter.

Tel.: 224–6790 E-mail: [email protected]; homepage: http://kisebbsegkutato.tk.mta.hu I. Main duties of the research unit in 2017 In 2017, in addition to the research priorities in the mid-term development plan for 2016-2019 as well as to the original research commitments, the deepening of the new research directions continued that were outlined in 2013, focusing primarily on the minority competences and the interdisciplinary researches on identity politics, while the main research areas of the Institute – the Roma and other nationalities in Hungary, Jewish communities, Hungarians living in the neighbouring states, and migrants in Hungary – have remained constant. The main results were published in various important monographs, edited books, and publications in foreign languages in prestigious journals. In cooperation with partner institutes, the monograph on the first results of GeneZys 2015 could be published, and a new, representative survey could be conducted on the main features of national identity in Hungary. As an extended continuation of the previous research among the Hungarians living in the UK, a new research was done about the situation of Hungarians in Germany. Researchers also attended a high number of international conferences which contributed to disseminate the research results to wider audiences. The roundtable discussion with prominent writers about capturing ethnic identity in both literature and science at the Researcher’s Night brought significant interest, too. Researchers successfully obtained two grants of the National Research, Development and Innovation Office (NKFIH, formerly OTKA): one major research projects aims to examine the trajectories, outcomes as well as the hidden costs of educational mobility in multi-ethnic context, while the other junior research project focuses on the attempts on the institutionalization of ethnic economy among Hungarians in Romania and Slovakia.

  • University of the Western Cape
    University of the Western Cape Faculty of Natural Sciences Department of Statistics & Population Studies Socio-demographic analysis of domestic violence against women: evidences from DHS A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Magister Philisophiae in Population Studies By Judith D’or Donang Ngondiop 2013 Supervisor: Dr Nancy Stiegler ABSTRACT The right for every woman to live free of violence is one of the basic human rights. Nevertheless, this right is still subject to violation on a massive and systematic scale around the world. At least one of three women around the world has reported been physical, sexual and emotional abuse by an intimate partner in her lifetime. Although, gender inequalities and discrimination are considered as the underlying factors of domestic violence, little is known about the contributions of the presence of sons and daughters at home, age, gender, education, marital status, working status, place of residence. Despite the fact that recommendations have been made both at the international and national levels to reduce intimate female abuse, the issue is still rampant in developing countries. The aim of this study was to identify and compare the impact of women’s socio- economic and demographic characteristics on domestic violence across seven countries (Cameroon, Ghana, Haiti, Liberia, Moldova, Nepal and Philippines). Frequencies and bivariate analyses were performed using the latest Demographic Health Surveys from 2005 to 2011. The findings established that on average 33.37 percent of women across the seven countries are abused. Domestic violence is a high concern in Cameroon. The educational level still remains a predicting factor of domestic violence across the countries under investigation except in Liberia.
