Lokale Politikberichterstattung: Inhalte, Leistungen, Formate und Attraktivitätsfaktoren aus der Perspektive des Publikums
by Inge KreutzWie kann lokale Politikberichterstattung möglichst viele Menschen erreichen? Antworten gibt dieses Buch auf der Grundlage von Umfragen und Gruppendiskussionen bei Leser*innen und User*innen von drei crossmedial publizierenden Regionalzeitungen. Es liefert eine Typologisierung des Publikums und zeigt die jeweils spezifischen Ansprüche an lokale Politikberichterstattung auf. Zudem aktualisiert es den Forschungsstand zu Ost-West-Unterschieden und spezifiziert ihn für lokale Politikberichterstattung. Die Doppelrolle der Autorin als Medienwissenschaftlerin und praktische Journalistin begünstigt eine Verbindung der Ansprüche von Theorie und Praxis. Das Buch will eine Diskussion darüber anstoßen, wie Lokaljournalismus in der digitalen Transformation seine Relevanz und Bedeutung erhalten und wie die Versorgung der Gesellschaft auf lokaler und sublokaler Ebene mit demokratierelevanten Informationen gesichert werden kann.
Lokale Wissensregime der Migration: Akteur*innen, Praktiken, Ordnungen (Migrationsgesellschaften)
by Jan Lange Manuel Liebig Charlotte RäuchleDer Band mit neun empirisch fundierten Beiträgen bietet erstmalig eine systematische Annäherung an lokale Wissensregime der Migration in verschiedenen Kommunen in Deutschland und weiteren europäischen Ländern. Die Beiträge eröffnen neue Perspektiven auf Migrationsregime: Sie zeigen anhand unterschiedlicher Fallbeispiele die Kontextgebundenheit und damit auch die Fluidität von lokalen Wissensregimen der Migration in zeitlicher und räumlicher Hinsicht auf. Dabei stellen sie heraus, dass Wissen eine zentrale Funktion in der Steuerung durch lokale Politik und Verwaltung einnimmt und legen offen, wer wie an der Aushandlung lokaler Migrations- und Integrationspolitiken beteiligt ist. Damit setzen die Autor*innen den Zusammenhang von Wissen und Macht in den Mittelpunkt ihres Interesses. Dieser Fokus entspringt der analytischen Motivation, (gegen-)hegemoniale Wissenspraktiken als Wegweiser zum Umgang mit Migration und städtischen Wirklichkeiten zu dekonstruieren.Die ZielgruppeZielgruppe des Sammelbands ist eine wissenschaftlich interessierte Leser*innenschaft, die sich in der interdisziplinären Migrationsforschung verortet.Besonders relevant ist der Band für die Leser*innen, die sich mit der Schnittstelle von Migration und Wissen auf lokaler Ebene in Gegenwart und Vergangenheit beschäftigen.

by Anna-Lena WagnerAnna-Lena Wagner konzipiert in ihrer Arbeit aus sozialintegrativer Perspektive Grundzüge einer lokalen Gesellschaft und befasst sich mit nahraumspezifischen Qualitäten des Journalismus. In einer empirischen Analyse liefert sie erstens detaillierte Befunde zu den Inhalten des Lokaljournalismus: Wie kritisch berichtet er z. B. über politische Angelegenheiten? Wie intensiv kommen 'normale' Bürgerinnen und Bürger bei Fragen des Alltags zu Wort? Welche Relevanz hat die Berichterstattung über Kultur- und Vereinsthemen? Dazu hat die Autorin Daten einer Inhaltsanalyse von 103 Lokalausgaben von Zeitungen und ihren Onlineablegern in Deutschland, erhoben im DFG-Projekt "Lokaljournalismus in Deutschland", sekundäranalytisch ausgewertet. Die Autorin präsentiert zweitens Bestimmungsfaktoren der lokaljournalistischen Qualität, die sie in einem umfangreichen explorativen Vorgehen ermittelt hat. Sie zeigt auf, inwiefern Faktoren verschiedener Analyseebenen (z. B. redaktionelle Strukturen, Wettbewerbssituation von Zeitungen, gesellschaftlicher Kontext) die Qualität (mit-)bestimmen.

London Labour and the London Poor: A Cyclopædia Of The Condition And Earnings Of Those That Will Work, Those That Cannot Work, And Those That Will Not (London Labour And The London Poor - 4-volume Set Ser.)
by Henry MayhewLondon Labour and the London Poor originated in a series of newspaper articles written by the great journalist Henry Mayhew between 1849 and 1850. A dozen years later, it had grown into the fullest picture we have of labouring people in the world's greatest city in the nineteenth century: a four volume account of the hopes, customs, grievances and habits of the working-classes that allows them to tell their own stories. Combining practicality with compassion, Mayhew worked unencumbered by political theory and strove solely to report on the lives of the London poor, their occupations and trades. This selection shows how well he succeeded. From costermongers to ex-convicts, from chimney-sweeps to vagrants, the underprivileged of London are uniquely brought to life - their plight expressed through a startling blend of first person accounts, Mayhew's perceptions, and sharp statistics.
London Lives
by Tim Hitchcock Robert ShoemakerLondon Lives is a fascinating new study which exposes, for the first time, the lesser-known experiences of eighteenth-century thieves, paupers, prostitutes and highwaymen. It charts the experiences of hundreds of thousands of Londoners who found themselves submerged in poverty or prosecuted for crime, and surveys their responses to illustrate the extent to which plebeian Londoners influenced the pace and direction of social policy. Calling upon a new body of evidence, the book illuminates the lives of prison escapees, expert manipulators of the poor relief system, celebrity highwaymen, lone mothers and vagrants, revealing how they each played the system to the best of their ability in order to survive in their various circumstances of misfortune. In their acts of desperation, the authors argue that the poor and criminal exercised a profound and effective form of agency that changed the system itself, and shaped the evolution of the modern state.

London Opera Observed 1711-1844, Volume II: 1763-1782
by Michael BurdenThe thrust of these five volumes is contained in their title, London Opera Observ’d. It takes its cue from the numerous texts and volumes which — during the seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth centuries — used the concept of ‘spying’ or ‘observing’ by a narrator, or rambler, as a means of establishing a discourse on aspects of London life. The material in this five-volume reset edition examines opera not simply as a genre of performance, but as a wider topic of comment and debate. The stories that surrounded the Italian opera singers illuminate contemporary British attitudes towards performance, sexuality and national identity. The collection includes only complete, published material organised chronologically so as to accurately retain the contexts in which the original readers encountered them — placing an emphasis on rare texts that have not been reproduced in modern editions. The aim of this collection is not to provide a history of opera in England but to facilitate the writing of them or to assist those wishing to study topics within the field. Headnotes and footnotes establish the publication information and provide an introduction to the piece, its author, and the events surrounding it or which caused its publication. The notes concentrate on attempting to identify those figures mentioned within the texts. The approach is one of presentation, not interpretation, ensuring that the collection occupies a position that is neutral rather than polemical.

London Patidars: A Case Study in Urban Ethnicity (Routledge Revivals)
by Harald Tambs-LycheFirst Published in 1980, London Patidars presents the case study of the Patidars, a landowning caste from the Indian state of Gujarat, in London. Patidars being the landowning caste has taken over much of the ideology of the merchant castes. This ‘merchant ideal’ is a central part of their self-image. It is an incitement to initiative in business and to some extent their actual economic behaviour does reflect the ideal. But the cases studied do not all conform to this ideal, and they pose questions: How does this particular type of ethnic boundary relate to the opportunities of the individual Patidar? Why and how is this boundary maintained? Harald Tambs-Lyche concludes that the form given to the ethnic boundary is advantageous to many Patidars but not to all in the same degree. This raises problems which potentially could change the present pattern. Other potential problems relate to their relationship with the English. As successful merchants they risk becoming objects of envy like, formerly, the Jewish community. This book is a must read for scholars of ethnic and race relations and sociology.
