Hoarding New Guinea: Writing Colonial Ethnographic Collection Histories for Postcolonial Futures (Critical Studies in the History of Anthropology)
by Rainer F. BuschmannHoarding New Guinea provides a new cultural history of colonialism that pays close attention to the millions of Indigenous artifacts that serve as witnesses to Europe&’s colonial past in ethnographic museums. Rainer F. Buschmann investigates the roughly two hundred thousand artifacts extracted from the colony of German New Guinea from 1870 to 1920. Reversing the typical trajectories that place ethnographic museums at the center of the analysis, he concludes that museum interests in material culture alone cannot account for the large quantities of extracted artifacts. Buschmann moves beyond the easy definition of artifacts as trophies of colonial defeat or religious conversion, instead employing the term hoarding to describe the irrational amassing of Indigenous artifacts by European colonial residents. Buschmann also highlights Indigenous material culture as a bargaining chip for its producers to engage with the imposed colonial regime. In addition, by centering an area of collection rather than an institution, he opens new areas of investigation that include non-professional ethnographic collectors and a sustained rather than superficial consideration of Indigenous peoples as producers behind the material culture. Hoarding New Guinea answers the call for a more significant historical focus on colonial ethnographic collections in European museums.
Hoax: 5,000 Years of Fakes, Forgeries, and Fallacies
by Ian Tattersall Peter NévraumontAn entertaining collection of the most audacious and underhanded deceptions in the history of mankind, from sacred relics to financial schemes to fake art, music, and identities. World history is littered with tall tales and those who have fallen for them. Ian Tattersall, a curator emeritus at the American Museum of Natural History, has teamed up with Peter Névraumont to tell this anti-history of the world, in which Michelangelo fakes a masterpiece; Arctic explorers seek an entrance into a hollow Earth; a Shakespeare tragedy is "rediscovered"; a financial scheme inspires Charles Ponzi; a spirit photographer snaps Abraham Lincoln's ghost; people can survive ingesting only air and sunshine; Edgar Allen Poe is the forefather of fake news; and the first human was not only British but played cricket.Told chronologically, HOAX begins with the first documented announcement of the end of the world in 2800 BC and winds its way through controversial tales such as the Loch Ness Monster and the Shroud of Turin, past proven fakes such as the Thomas Jefferson's ancient wine and the Davenport Tablets built by a lost race, and explores bald-faced lies in the worlds of art, science, literature, journalism, and finance.
Hoax: Hitler's Diaries, Lincoln's Assassins, and Other Famous Frauds
by Edward Steers Jr.A &“lively yet thoroughly researched&” look at persistent myths and stubborn scams, and how historians try to combat them (The Courier-Journal).Did a collector with a knack for making sensational discoveries really find the first document ever printed in America? Did Hitler actually pen a revealing set of diaries? Has Jesus&’ burial cloth survived the ages? Can the shocking true account of Abraham Lincoln&’s assassination be found in lost pages from his murderer&’s diary?Napoleon famously observed that &“history is a set of lies agreed upon,&” and Edward Steers Jr. investigates six of the most amazing frauds ever to gain wide acceptance in this engrossing book. Hoax examines the legitimacy of the Shroud of Turin, perhaps the most hotly debated relic in all of Christianity, and the fossils purported to confirm humanity&’s &“missing link,&” the Piltdown Man. Steers also discusses two remarkable forgeries, the Hitler diaries and the &“Oath of a Freeman,&” and famous conspiracy theories alleging that Franklin D. Roosevelt had prior knowledge of the planned attack on Pearl Harbor and that the details of Lincoln&’s assassination are recorded in missing pages from John Wilkes Booth&’s journal.The controversies that Steers presents show that there are two major factors involved in the success of a hoax or forgery—greed and the desire to believe. Though all of the counterfeits and conspiracies featured in Hoax have been scientifically debunked, some remain fixed in many people&’s minds as truth. As Steers points out, the success of these frauds highlights a disturbing fact: If true history fails to entertain the public, it is likely to be ignored or forgotten.
Hobbit Virtues: Rediscovering J. R. R. Tolkien's Ethics from The Lord of the Rings
by Christopher A. SnyderA response to our fractured political discourse, Hobbit Virtues speaks to the importance of &“virtue ethics&” by examining the fiction of J. R. R. Tolkien—with particular attention to his hobbits.Tolkien&’s works resonate with so many readers in part because Bilbo, Frodo, Sam, Merry, and Pippin demonstrate Classical, Judeo-Christian, Medieval, and even Hindu and Confucian virtues. Tolkien ennobles the small, the humble, and the marginalized in his Middle-earth writings and presents leaders who are hesitant to exercise power, are courteous, and value wisdom and learning. Each chapter in Hobbit Virtues consists of a wide-ranging discussion of a single virtue, exemplified by a character in Middle-earth, explaining its philosophical or theological roots and how the virtue is still relevant in a modern democracy. It will also include appendices where readers can find passages in Tolkien&’s and Lewis&’s works that discuss virtue ethics, and a glossary of virtues from ancient to modern, East to West. Tolkien&’s readers come from many different religious and secular backgrounds and the pleasure and profundity of Hobbit Virtues is that mutual respect for public virtues is, especially now, necessary for a well-functioning pluralistic society.
Hobophobia: The Politics of Fear
by Bill BoudierThe book also describes the united efforts of local advocates who These programs were met with repeated forays by city government to stop them over the next twenty-plus years. That did not deter those seeking change who incrementally implemented new services until all were in place by the early years of the new millennium, curtailing the influence of hobophobia and bringing improved safety and well-being to the community.

Hochqualifizierte Transmigrantinnen: Bildungswege und Migrationserfahrungen zwischen Befremdung und Beheimatung (Interkulturelle Studien)
by Nora WarrachAn der Gruppe türkeistämmiger hochqualifizierter Frauen, die ein transnationales Leben zwischen Deutschland und der Türkei führen, wird nachgezeichnet, wie sie vor ihrem Bildungshintergrund mit Befremdungserfahrungen umgehen und wie sie Beheimatungsstrategien entwerfen. Der Einblick in die Biographien der hochqualifizierten Transmigrantinnen zeigt, dass sich „Zugehörigkeitsgrenzen“ verschieben und „Werte-Patchworks“ entstehen. Gerade ihre Erfahrungen der Etikettierung als „Fremde“ nehmen sie als Chance denn als Schicksal wahr, die letztlich als Motor für ihr Streben nach Selbstverwirklichung fungieren. Damit brechen sie stereotypisierte Bilder über türkeistämmige Frauen auf.
Hochschulorganisation und Digitalisierung: Die Auswirkungen organisationaler Funktionslogiken auf die digitale Transformation an Universitäten
by Marcel Graf-SchlattmannDas Forschungsfeld zur Digitalisierung im Hochschulwesen weist eine zentrale Lücke auf: Die Auswirkungen der organisationalen Rahmenbedingungen auf die digitale Transformation. Ausgehend von der Grundannahme, dass die digitale Transformation nicht organisationsneutral erfolgt, werden die organisationalen Effekte der Universität auf den digitalen Veränderungsprozess im Spannungsverhältnis von akademischer Selbst- und universitärer Zentralverwaltung betrachtet. Hierfür wird mit einem systemtheoretischen Organisationsverständnis sowie einer äquivalenzfunktionalistischen Theorietechnik operiert und eine Beschreibung der organisationalen Funktionslogiken, ausgehend vom Bezugsproblem unklarer rationaler Technologien in Forschung und Lehre, entwickelt.Der Einbezug organisationaler Funktionslogiken erzeugt ein weiterführendes Verständnis der digitalen Transformation an Universitäten. Diese erfolgt im Sinne einer graduellen Transformation und ist durch eine Vielzahl unterschiedlicher, lose gekoppelter Prozesse und Entwicklungen gekennzeichnet. Neben der Art der Transformation und dessen organisationalen Bedingungen stehen insbesondere die Muster der Koordination organisationaler Prozesse und deren Auswirkungen auf beiden Seiten der Doppelhierarchie im Fokus.
Hochsensibilität – Jobchance oder Karrierekiller in der VUCA-Welt: Erfahrungen aus Coaching, Leistungssport und Job
by Torsten Schröder„Du bist immer so empfindlich!“ Ein Satz, den hochsensible Menschen oft hören. Die heutige Arbeitswelt ist mehr denn je durch Reizüberflutung gekennzeichnet und VUCA scheint der natürliche Feind hochsensibler Menschen zu sein. Volatilität, Unsicherheit, Komplexität und Ambiguität verstärken sich noch einmal, wenn sie auf besonders sensitive Menschen treffen. Oder ist genau das Gegenteil der Fall? Haben Menschen mit einem besonderen Gespür für den Moment, mit der Antenne für das Unbekannte besonders gute Chancen in einer Arbeitswelt, in der nichts mehr ist, wie es einmal war, und die geprägt ist von kontinuierlichem Wandel? Torsten Schröder geht dieser Frage nach und gibt einen Überblick über das immer noch unscharf definierte Phänomen der Hochsensibilität (und seiner „False Friends“ ADHS, Impostor-Syndrom, Hochbegabung). Praxisbeispiele reflektieren Erfahrungen aus Berufsalltag, Sport und Coaching.

Hockey and Philosophy (Philosophica)
by Normand Baillargeon and Christian BoissinotDoes hockey provide a better understanding of the differences between Canadian and Québécois nationalisms? Is there a fundamental relationship between the hockey arena and the political arena? What have we lost as a society in abolishing the tie game? Are salaries in the NHL really that outrageous? Is hockey more art than sport? Should hockey players be banned from using performance-enhancing drugs at all costs? Do goalies suffer from angst? Does our national sport have its own mythology and metaphysics? Do hockey brawls reflect our true human nature more than we would care to admit? And what would it be like if the great philosophers were to face off on the ice? A team of philosophy and hockey buffs go deep with these fascinating questions and many others in this examination of a worshipped sport elevated to something akin to a cult. Accessibly written and peppered with humour, the essays in this book will charm specialists, sports fans, and everyone in between. Whether you’re a fan of Richard, Gretzky, Crosby, Plato, Kant, or Kierkegaard, you’re invited to be a spectator at this very special meeting of minds!
Hockey, PQ
by Amy RansomA wide-ranging study that examines everything from the blockbuster movie franchise Les Boys to the sovereigntist hip hop group Loco Locass, Hockey, PQ explores how Canada's national sport has been used to signify a specific Québécois identity. Amy J. Ransom analyzes how Québécois writers, filmmakers, and musicians have appropriated symbols like the Montreal Forum, Maurice Richard, or the 1972 Summit Series to construct or critique images of the Québécois male.Close analyses of hockey-themed narratives consider the soap opera Lance et compte ('He shoots, he scores'), the music of former pro player Bob Bisonnette, folk band Mes Aïeux, rock group Les Dales Hawerchuk, and the fiction of François Barcelo. Through these examinations of the role hockey plays in contemporary francophone popular culture, Ransom shows how Quebec's popular culture uses hockey to distinguish French-Canadians from the French and to rally them against their English-speaking counterparts. In the end, however, this study illuminates how the sport of hockey unites the two solitudes.

Hog and Hominy: Soul Food from Africa to America (Arts and Traditions of the Table Perspectives on Culinary History)
by Frederick Douglass Opie&“Opie delves into the history books to find true soul in the food of the South, including its place in the politics of black America.&”—NPR.org Frederick Douglass Opie deconstructs and compares the foodways of people of African descent throughout the Americas, interprets the health legacies of black culinary traditions, and explains the concept of soul itself, revealing soul food to be an amalgamation of West and Central African social and cultural influences as well as the adaptations blacks made to the conditions of slavery and freedom in the Americas. Sampling from travel accounts, periodicals, government reports on food and diet, and interviews with more than thirty people born before 1945, Opie reconstructs an interrelated history of Moorish influence on the Iberian Peninsula, the African slave trade, slavery in the Americas, the emergence of Jim Crow, the Great Migration, the Great Depression, and the Civil Rights and Black Power movements. His grassroots approach reveals the global origins of soul food, the forces that shaped its development, and the distinctive cultural collaborations that occurred among Africans, Asians, Europeans, and Americans throughout history. Opie shows how food can be an indicator of social position, a site of community building and cultural identity, and a juncture at which different cultural traditions can develop and impact the collective health of a community. &“Opie goes back to the sources and traces soul food&’s development over the centuries. He shows how Southern slavery, segregation, and the Great Migration to the North&’s urban areas all left their distinctive marks on today&’s African American cuisine.&”—Booklist &“An insightful portrait of the social and religious relationship between people of African descent and their cuisine.&”—FoodReference.com
Hogarth and his Place in European Art (Routledge Revivals)
by Frederick AntalFirst published in 1962, Hogarth and his Place in European Art attempts to convey the historical relevance, both in its native and European context, of perhaps the most outstanding English painter of the eighteenth century. Dr. Antal applies his method of establishing the close relationship between the political and social history and the arts and letters of the period. Thus, the book goes far beyond the limits of art historical appreciation. It gives a panoramic picture of the first half of the eighteenth century in England with all its social, literary, and artistic connotations. He shows how England, which during those years became both politically and economically the most advanced country in Europe, could provide in Hogarth, in spite of the slender native tradition, the most progressive artistic personality of his time – whose work revealed the views and tastes of a broad cross-section of society. He traces Hogarth’s stylistic origins back to their European sources and analyses his impact on contemporary European and English art as well as the influence he exerted on generations to come. This book will be of interest to students of art, art history, literature, and European history.
Hohes Alter in Deutschland (Schriften zu Gesundheit und Gesellschaft - Studies on Health and Society #8)
by Michael Wagner Clemens Tesch-Römer Julia Simonson Roman Kaspar Susanne ZankDies ist ein Open-Access-Buch.Trotz des schnellen Wachstums des Anteils der Bevölkerung in einem Alter ab 80 Jahren an der Gesamtbevölkerung ist das Wissen über diese Bevölkerungsgruppe bislang gering. Zwar gibt es thematisch, methodisch und regional spezifische Studien, jedoch keine repräsentative Erfassung der Lebenssituation und Lebensqualität dieser Altersgruppe für den gesamtdeutschen Raum. Eine gute Datenlage ist jedoch notwendig: Zum einen, um den besonderen Unterstützungsbedarfen im hohen Alter zukünftig besser gerecht werden zu können. Zum anderen, um Lösungsansätze für sozialpolitische Herausforderungen wie der sozialen Sicherung im Alter sowie im Hinblick auf eine Generationengerechtigkeit entwickeln zu können. Schließlich, um negativen Altersbildern und Vorurteilen über die Lebensqualität im hohen Alter empirisch fundiert entgegenwirken zu können. Die Studie "Hohes Alter in Deutschland“ (D80+) ist eine bundesweit repräsentative Querschnittsbefragung der hochaltrigen Menschen in Privathaushalten und in Heimen. Sie wird vom Bundesministerium für Familie, Senioren, Frauen und Jugend (BMFSFJ) gefördert und gemeinsam vom Cologne Center for Ethics, Rights, Economics, and Social Sciences of Health (ceres) und dem Deutschen Zentrum für Altersfragen (DZA) durchgeführt. Die Studie vereint Perspektiven der an den beteiligten Institutionen verorteten Disziplinen wie Soziologie, Psychologie, Versorgungswissenschaften, Gerontologie und Medizin. Im vorliegenden Band werden zentrale Befunde u.a. zu den Themenbereichen Soziale und Digitale Teilhabe, Gesundheit und Versorgung, sowie Werte und subjektives Wohlbefinden vorgestellt.
Hoi Toide on the Outer Banks
by Walt Wolfram Natalie Schilling-EstesAs many visitors to Ocracoke will attest, the island's vibrant dialect is one of its most distinctive cultural features. In Hoi Toide on the Outer Banks, Walt Wolfram and Natalie Schilling-Estes present a fascinating account of the Ocracoke brogue. They trace its development, identify the elements of pronunciation, vocabulary, and syntax that make it unique, and even provide a glossary and quiz to enhance the reader's knowledge of 'Ocracokisms.' In the process, they offer an intriguing look at the role language plays in a culture's efforts to define and maintain itself. But Hoi Toide on the Outer Banks is more than a linguistic study. Based on extensive interviews with more than seventy Ocracoke residents of all ages and illustrated with captivating photographs by Ann Ehringhaus and Herman Lankford, the book offers valuable insight on what makes Ocracoke special. In short, by tracing the history of island speech, the authors succeed in opening a window on the history of the islanders themselves.
Hokkien Theatre Across The Seas: A Socio-Cultural Study
by Caroline ChiaThis book adopts a refreshing approach by examining Hokkien theatre in a region connected by maritime networks, notably southern Fujian, Taiwan, Kinmen and Singapore. It considers how regional theatre is shaped by broader socio-cultural and political contexts and the motivation to stay relevant in an era of modernisation and secularisation. Political domains are often marked out by land boundaries, but the sea concept denotes fluidity, allowing theatrical forms to spread across these ‘land-bounded’ societies and share a common language and culture."This is an insightful theatrical study on the web of Chinese cultural networks in southern China and Singapore, and by extension, between China and Southeast Asia in the twentieth century and beyond. Using diverse sources in multiple languages and extensive field ethnography, this is a ground-breaking study which is both didactic and inspiring."- Lee Tong Soon, author of Chinese Street Opera in Singapore (University of Illinois, 2009)."Focusing on Hokkien theatre, this book offers new insights into how Chinese performing art responds to geographical, temporal, and social changes. Historical sources in different languages are widely used to give access to the cultural characteristics of Hokkien theatre, offering valuable ethnographic reports on the contemporary practices of Hokkien theatre in Taiwan, Kinmen, and Singapore. The book comments on the changing ritualistic significance of Hokkien theatre, and help us understand how societies remember the past of a performing tradition, and shape its present."- Luo Ai Mei, Co-Editor of A Preliminary Survey of the Cantonese Eight Song Cycles in South China: History and Sources (2016)
Hokum!: The Early Sound Slapstick Short and Depression-Era Mass Culture
by Rob KingA free ebook version of this title is available through Luminos, University of California Press’s Open Access publishing program. Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more. Hokum! is the first book to take a comprehensive view of short-subject slapstick comedy in the early sound era.

Each chapter is grounded in case studies of comedians and comic teams, including the Three Stooges, Laurel and Hardy, and Robert Benchley. The book also examines how the past legacy of silent-era slapstick was subsequently reimagined as part of a nostalgic mythology of Hollywood’s youth.
