"Sefer Hasidim" and the Ashkenazic Book in Medieval Europe (Jewish Culture and Contexts)
by Ivan G. MarcusComposed in Germany in the early thirteenth century by Judah ben Samuel he-hasid, Sefer Hasidim, or "Book of the Pietists," is a compendium of religious instruction that portrays the everyday life of Jews as they lived together with and apart from Christians in towns such as Speyer, Worms, Mainz, and Regensburg. A charismatic religious teacher who recorded hundreds of original stories that mirrored situations in medieval social living, Judah's messages advocated praying slowly and avoiding honor, pleasure, wealth, and the lures of unmarried sex. Although he failed to enact his utopian vision of a pietist Jewish society, his collected writings would help shape the religious culture of Ashkenazic Judaism for centuries.In "Sefer Hasidim" and the Ashkenazic Book in Medieval Europe, Ivan G. Marcus proposes a new paradigm for understanding how this particular book was composed. The work, he contends, was an open text written by a single author in hundreds of disjunctive, yet self-contained, segments, which were then combined into multiple alternative versions, each equally authoritative. While Sefer Hasidim offers the clearest example of this model of composition, Marcus argues that it was not unique: the production of Ashkenazic books in small and easily rearranged paragraphs is a literary and cultural phenomenon quite distinct from anything practiced by the Christian authors of northern Europe or the Sephardic Jews of the south. According to Marcus, Judah, in authoring Sefer Hasidim in this manner, not only resisted Greco-Roman influences on Ashkenazic literary form but also extended an earlier Byzantine rabbinic tradition of authorship into medieval European Jewish culture.

The Segregated Origins of Social Security
by Mary PooleThe relationship between welfare and racial inequality has long been understood as a fight between liberal and conservative forces. In The Segregated Origins of Social Security, Mary Poole challenges that basic assumption. Meticulously reconstructing the behind-the-scenes politicking that gave birth to the 1935 Social Security Act, Poole demonstrates that segregation was built into the very foundation of the welfare state because white policy makers--both liberal and conservative--shared an interest in preserving white race privilege. Although northern white liberals were theoretically sympathetic to the plight of African Americans, Poole says, their primary aim was to save the American economy by salvaging the pride of America's "essential" white male industrial workers. The liberal framers of the Social Security Act elevated the status of Unemployment Insurance and Social Security--and the white workers they were designed to serve--by differentiating them from welfare programs, which served black workers.Revising the standard story of the racialized politics of Roosevelt's New Deal, Poole's arguments also reshape our understanding of the role of public policy in race relations in the twentieth century, laying bare the assumptions that must be challenged if we hope to put an end to racial inequality in the twenty-first.
Segregated Soldiers: Military Training at Historically Black Colleges in the Jim Crow South
by Marcus S. CoxIn Segregated Soldiers, Marcus S. Cox investigates military training programs at historically black colleges and universities, and demonstrates their importance to the struggle for civil rights. Examining African Americans' attitudes toward service in the armed forces, Cox focuses on the ways in which black higher education and Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) programs worked together to advance full citizenship rights for African Americans. Educators at black colleges supported military training as early as the late nineteenth century in hopes of improving the social, economic, and political state of black citizens. Their attitudes reflected the long-held belief of many African Americans who viewed military service as a path to equal rights.Cox begins his narrative in the decades following the Civil War, when the movement to educate blacks became an essential element in the effort to offer equality to all African Americans. ROTC training emerged as a fundamental component of black higher education, as African American educators encouraged military activities to promote discipline, upright behavior, and patriotism. These virtues, they believed, would hasten African Americans' quest for civil rights and social progress. Using Southern University -- one of the largest African American institutions of higher learning during the post--World War II era -- as a case study, Cox shows how blacks' interest in military training and service continued to rise steadily throughout the 1950s. Even in the 1960s and early 1970s, despite the growing unpopularity of the Vietnam War, the rise of black nationalism, and an expanding economy that offered African Americans enhanced economic opportunities, support for the military persisted among blacks because many believed that service in the armed forces represented the best way to advance themselves in a society in which racial discrimination flourished. Unlike recent scholarship on historically black colleges and universities, Cox's study moves beyond institutional histories to provide a detailed examination of broader social, political, and economic issues, and demonstrates why military training programs remained a vital part of the schools' missions.
Segregating Sound: Inventing Folk and Pop Music in the Age of Jim Crow
by Karl Hagstrom MillerIn Segregating Sound, Karl Hagstrom Miller argues that the categories that we have inherited to think and talk about southern music bear little relation to the ways that southerners long played and heard music. Focusing on the late nineteenth century and the early twentieth, Miller chronicles how southern music--a fluid complex of sounds and styles in practice--was reduced to a series of distinct genres linked to particular racial and ethnic identities. The blues were African American. Rural white southerners played country music. By the 1920s, these depictions were touted in folk song collections and the catalogs of "race" and "hillbilly" records produced by the phonograph industry. Such links among race, region, and music were new. Black and white artists alike had played not only blues, ballads, ragtime, and string band music, but also nationally popular sentimental ballads, minstrel songs, Tin Pan Alley tunes, and Broadway hits. In a cultural history filled with musicians, listeners, scholars, and business people, Miller describes how folklore studies and the music industry helped to create a "musical color line," a cultural parallel to the physical color line that came to define the Jim Crow South. Segregated sound emerged slowly through the interactions of southern and northern musicians, record companies that sought to penetrate new markets across the South and the globe, and academic folklorists who attempted to tap southern music for evidence about the history of human civilization. Contending that people's musical worlds were defined less by who they were than by the music that they heard, Miller challenges assumptions about the relation of race, music, and the market.
Segregation
by Eric Fong Kumiko Shibuya Brent BerrySegregation is one of the starkest social realities of contemporary societies. Though often associated with explicitly racist laws of the past, it is a phenomenon that persists to this day and is a crucial element for understanding group relations and the wellbeing of different populations in society. In this book, Eric Fong and Kumiko Shibuya provide a thorough discussion of the evolving complexity of segregation in all its variety and variations. The authors focus not only on past trends and the development of segregation measures, but also the current state of affairs, and demonstrate the connections between the segregation of racial/ethnic groups, immigrant communities, and schools, along with poverty concentration. By taking a wide, cross-cutting view, the authors identify commonalities and differences in the causes, mechanisms, and consequences of segregation. Spatial and social segregation together perpetuate and reinforce the unequal distribution of resources among racial and ethnic groups, which in turn can have positive and negative consequences for individuals and groups. This critical overview of segregation will be a valuable and insightful resource for students of sociology, geography, and ethnic studies, as well as those keen to get a handle on this persistent challenge to equal and inclusive societies.
Segregation: A Global History of Divided Cities
by Nightingale Carl H.When we think of segregation, what often comes to mind is apartheid South Africa, or the American South in the age of Jim Crow—two societies fundamentally premised on the concept of the separation of the races. But as Carl H. Nightingale shows us in this magisterial history, segregation is everywhere, deforming cities and societies worldwide. Starting with segregation’s ancient roots, and what the archaeological evidence reveals about humanity’s long-standing use of urban divisions to reinforce political and economic inequality, Nightingale then moves to the world of European colonialism. It was there, he shows, segregation based on color—and eventually on race—took hold; the British East India Company, for example, split Calcutta into “White Town” and “Black Town. ” As we follow Nightingale’s story around the globe, we see that division replicated from Hong Kong to Nairobi, Baltimore to San Francisco, and more. The turn of the twentieth century saw the most aggressive segregation movements yet, as white communities almost everywhere set to rearranging whole cities along racial lines. Nightingale focuses closely on two striking examples: Johannesburg, with its state-sponsored separation, and Chicago, in which the goal of segregation was advanced by the more subtle methods of real estate markets and housing policy. For the first time ever, the majority of humans live in cities, and nearly all those cities bear the scars of segregation. This unprecedented, ambitious history lays bare our troubled past, and sets us on the path to imagining the better, more equal cities of the future.
Segregation in Language Education: The Case of South Tyrol, Italy
by Ann WandThis book sets out to try to understand why segregated schooling still exists, especially in northern Italy in South Tyrol where they practice ‘separate but equal’ education. Supported by the UN, the Austrian and Italian governments, the province is considered a ‘peace model’ due to its consociational approach to dealing with the region’s Nazi and Fascist past, which has led to a ‘negative peace’. The autonomy statutes, which derived from this ‘peace’, resulted in an education system that is linguistically segregated for the purposes of protecting South Tyrol’s ethnolinguistic minorities. Broken into two parts, the book begins with the background history of the province, before describing the region’s geographical layout, demographics, local identity, and its three-part schooling system. By examining responses to South Tyrol’s education system, and its impact on local group dynamics, this book explores the implications that segregated schooling may have on second language acquisition. This case study will be of interest to students and scholars of Italian studies, anthropology, linguistic ethnography, sociolinguistics, and second language education.
Segregation Made Them Neighbors: An Archaeology of Racialization in Boise, Idaho (Historical Archaeology of the American West)
by William A. White IIISegregation Made Them Neighbors investigates the relationship between whiteness and nonwhiteness through the lenses of landscapes and material culture. William A. White III uses data collected from a public archaeology and digital humanities project conducted in the River Street neighborhood in Boise, Idaho, to investigate the mechanisms used to divide local populations into racial categories. The River Street Neighborhood was a multiracial, multiethnic enclave in Boise that was inhabited by African American, European American, and Basque residents. Building on theoretical concepts from whiteness studies and critical race theory, this volume also explores the ways Boise&’s residents crafted segregated landscapes between the 1890s and 1960s to establish white and nonwhite geographies. White describes how housing, urban infrastructure, ethnicity, race, and employment served to delineate the River Street neighborhood into a nonwhite space, an activity that resulted in larger repercussions for other Boiseans. Using material culture excavated from the neighborhood, White describes how residents used mass-produced products to assert their humanity and subvert racial memes. By describing the effects of racial discrimination, real-estate redlining, and urban renewal on the preservation of historic properties in the River Street neighborhood, Segregation Made Them Neighbors illustrates the symbiotic mechanisms that also prevent equity and representation through historic preservation in other cities in the American West.

Seinfeldia: How a Show About Nothing Changed Everything
by Jennifer Keishin Armstrong"Her book, as if she were a marine biologist, is a deep dive...Perhaps the highest praise I can give Seinfeldia is that it made me want to buy a loaf of marbled rye and start watching again, from the beginning." --Dwight Garner, The New York Times Book Review The hilarious behind-the-scenes story of two guys who went out for coffee and dreamed up Seinfeld--the cultural sensation that changed television and bled into the real world, altering the lives of everyone it touched.Comedians Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld never thought anyone would watch their silly little sitcom about a New York comedian sitting around talking to his friends. NBC executives didn't think anyone would watch either, but they bought it anyway, hiding it away in the TV dead zone of summer. But against all odds, viewers began to watch, first a few and then many, until nine years later nearly forty million Americans were tuning in weekly. In Seinfeldia, acclaimed TV historian and entertainment writer Jennifer Keishin Armstrong celebrates the creators and fans of this American television phenomenon, bringing readers behind-the-scenes of the show while it was on the air and into the world of devotees for whom it never stopped being relevant, a world where the Soup Nazi still spends his days saying "No soup for you!", Joe Davola gets questioned every day about his sanity, Kenny Kramer makes his living giving tours of New York sights from the show, and fans dress up in Jerry's famous puffy shirt, dance like Elaine, and imagine plotlines for Seinfeld if it were still on TV.
Seismic Digital Shift: Rethinking Our Digital Future
by Yong HuThis book is an in-depth study on the past, present and future of digitalization, an important contribution to the literature on the development of the digital economy in China. The technological revolution in telecommunications has brought a “seismic shift” - the periphery has moved to the center, accelerating the emergence of a new digital world. The adoption and integration of advanced digital technologies such as 5G mobile networks, the Internet of things (IoT), cloud computing, artificial intelligence, big data analysis and robotics means that the traditional economy, with its organizational, productive and governance systems, is merging with the digital economy, with its innovative features in terms of business models, production, business organization and governance. This makes the digital transformation process highly dynamic and complex, thus challenging many aspects of economies and societies. The author discusses not only what digital transformation means for businesses, but also its impact on society at large, inspiring readers to understand China and the world and think about what digital future we would like to have.

Selbst im Alltag: Qualitative Sekundäranalysen zu Identitätskonstruktionen im Wechselverhältnis von Normierung und Selbstentwurf
by Sabine Beckmann Patrick Ehnis Thomas Kühn Marina Mohr Katrin VoigtMithilfe von Sekundäranalysen qualitativer Interviews – geführt zwischen Ende der 1980er und Anfang der 2000er Jahre – analysieren die Autor*innen, wie sich gesellschaftliche Prozesse in der Arbeitswelt, im Geschlechterverhältnis sowie Einflüssen von Individualisierung, Aktivierung und Selbstoptimierung in der Konstruktion des Selbst niedergeschlagen. Erzählungen über Arbeit, Beziehung und Lebensführung verbinden die Autor*innen mit soziologischen und sozialpsychologischen Ansätzen zu Identitäts- und Subjektkonstruktionen. Dabei zeigen sie, wie der Kampf um Anerkennung, Autonomie und Authentizität, wie Zeitnutzungsdiskurse sowie Männlichkeits- und Weiblichkeitskonstruktionen das Alltagsleben und Lebensentscheidungen formen – stets im Spannungsfeld zwischen Unterordnung und Selbstermächtigung. Kritisch wird untersucht, wie Identitäts- und Subjektkonstruktionen mit der (Re)Produktion und (De)Legitimation sozialer Ungleichheitsverhältnisse zusammenhängen.
Selbstbestimmung oder Geschlechtergerechtigkeit
by Karin B. SchnebelSelbstbestimmung und Gerechtigkeit sind zwar allgemeine Wertvorstellungen, die jedoch in Konflikt zueinander geraten können. Auch das Ziel einer geschlechtergerechten Gesellschaft berührt dieses Spannungsfeld, da die Strategie gescheitert ist, Geschlechtergerechtigkeit über eine Ausblendung geschlechtlicher Unterschiede zu erreichen. Zwar ist es gelungen, Frauen stärker in der öffentlichen Sphäre zu verankern, doch kann ihre zivilisationsgeschichtlich starke Einbindung in das Private nicht übergangen werden. Die andere denkbare Möglichkeit Geschlechtergerechtigkeit herzustellen, ist die Anerkennung und Aufwertung der privaten, weiblich dominierten Sphäre. Hier wird gezeigt, dass eine Aufwertung des Privaten nur über eine stärkere Einmischung des Öffentlichen, also der Politik, in das Private geschehen kann, was zu einem Verlust von Autonomie führt. Es wird herausgearbeitet, dass die derzeitige Politik dabei ist, Frauen wieder stärker zu diskriminieren. Damit stellt sich die Frage: Wie kann ein liberaler Staat Geschlechtergerechtigkeit erreichen, ohne Werte wie Freiheit, Autonomie oder Selbstbestimmung zu gefährden?
Selbstgewiss ins Ungewisse: Auftragskommunikation in der Krise (essentials)
by Andreas Galling-Stiehler Jürgen Schulz Robert Caspar MüllerDas letzte Jahrzehnt war geprägt von globalen Krisen: Finanz-, Flüchtlings-, Klima- und die Corona-Pandemiekrise haben Gewissheiten in Frage gestellt. In Gesellschaft, Wirtschaft und Politik wurde und wird von Menschen eine Anpassung an neue Bedingungen gefordert. Transformation erscheint als Gebot der Stunde. Dazu braucht es den Mut von Menschen und Organisationen, Bedrohungen entgegenzutreten sowie den vitalen Willen, Chancen zu ergreifen. Voraussetzung dafür ist Selbstgewissheit. Das Problem: Ungewisse Zeiten sind meist keine selbstgewissen. Es braucht den Austausch mit anderen Menschen, um Risiken gemeinsam einzugehen. Wir müssen uns mit den neuen Bedingungen ebenso vertraut machen wie mit- und untereinander, um zu neuen Gewissheiten zu gelangen. Anstatt Verständigung zu fördern, setzen Politik und Wirtschaft auf das Gegenteil: Paternalismus und Verhaltensökonomie sollen die Sinnsuche verkürzen. Das Gespräch soll durch sein Ergebnis ersetzt werden. Das ist eine Transformation, die auf Anpassungsdruck und Drohung setzt, weil sie Menschen wie Organisationen einen Wandel zum Guten letztlich nicht selbst zutraut. Die Autoren schlagen einen anderen Weg vor: selbstgewiss ins Ungewisse.
Selbstmanagement im Beruf: Gestalten Sie Ihr Arbeitsleben selbst - sonst tun es andere
by Guido WenskiDieses Buch beschreibt die vielfältigen Facetten des beruflichen Selbstmanagements. Welche Voraussetzungen müssen erfüllt sein, damit Arbeit Spaß macht, Erfolge ermöglicht und Sinn stiftet? An welchen Stellschrauben kann man drehen, um zufriedener durchs Job-Leben zu gehen und nicht zum Spielball von äußeren Umständen zu werden? Die gute Nachricht ist: Die meisten Aspekte können Sie selbst beeinflussen – seien es Berufs- und Stellenwahl, Zeitmanagement oder der Umgang mit Veränderungen und den persönlichen Ressourcen. Der Autor erläutert systematisch, welche Einflussfaktoren für eine glückliche, erfüllte Tätigkeit maßgeblich sind. Dabei spielen eine ausgeglichene Work-Life-Balance, sportliche Betätigung und persönliche Eigenschaften wie Offenheit, Realismus, Willensstärke, Resilienz und – oft unterschätzt – Humor eine wesentliche Rolle. Anhand von Beispielen aus dem Geschäftsalltag und dem privaten Bereich sowie zahlreichen Tipps und Hinweisen erfahren Sie, wie es gelingt, gleichzeitig motiviert, leistungsfähig, gesund und zufrieden zu bleiben oder zu werden. Das Buch räumt auch mit einigen weitverbreiteten Irrtümern und Fehleinschätzungen auf und macht deutlich: Sie müssen Ihr Berufsleben selber gestalten – sonst tun es andere!
Selbstmanagement und Motivation für Wissenschaftler*innen: Methoden, Modelle, Tools
by D. Georg Adlmaier-Herbst Annette MayerIn diesem Buch lernen Sie wissenschaftlich fundierte Modelle kennen, mit denen Sie Ihr Selbstmanagement als Wissenschaftler*in systematisch und langfristig gestalten können. Im Zentrum des wissenschaftlichen Arbeitens steht der Inhalt. Jedoch ist auch gutes Selbstmanagement hilfreich, um zum optimalen Ergebnis zu gelangen. Selbstmanagement meint zum einen, sich für unliebsame oder herausfordernde Aufgaben zu motivieren, wie das langwierige Recherchieren in Bibliotheken, das Verfassen von Papers, das Fertigstellen von Dissertationen etc. Zum anderen bezeichnet Selbstmanagement auch das Verringern von negativen Gefühlen, wie Lampenfieber vor Präsentationen des eigenen Forschungsvorhabens, Unsicherheit vor wichtigen Gesprächen oder Konflikte mit Kollegen und Vorgesetzten. Gerade in Zeiten der zunehmenden Digitalisierung und der Arbeit im Homeoffice wird die eigene Motivation umso bedeutender, da oft die persönliche Ansprache und die Motivation durch den Kontakt und den Austausch im Team vermisst werden. Die Kernfrage lautet, wie Selbstmanagement im Einklang mit der eigenen Persönlichkeit und der eigenen Situation gelingen kann. Die Autoren leiten Sie an, eigene Stärken und Möglichkeiten als Ressourcen zu erkennen, diese wertzuschätzen und systematisch zu nutzen. Hierdurch können Sie auf eine neue, ressourcenorientierte Art mit sich umgehen und sich selbst ein wenig besser kennenlernen. Sie stellen positive Auswirkungen auf sich und andere fest und erweitern Ihren Entscheidungsspielraum sowie Ihr Handlungsrepertoire, auch in schwierigen Situationen.
Selbstständigkeit in der Gastronomie: Eine arbeitssoziologische Untersuchung unternehmerischen Handelns am Beispiel von Foodtrucker*innen
by Katharina MojescikStreetfood-Märkte und Foodtrucks haben sich als ein attraktives neues Beschäftigungsfeld in der Gastronomie etabliert. Diese explorative Studie rückt die unternehmerischen Personen in den Analysefokus, um die Selbstständigkeit in der (mobilen) Gastronomie vertiefend zu untersuchen. Dabei setzt sie an der Schnittstelle von Arbeits-, Ernährungs- und Kultursoziologie an, um das Arbeitshandeln von Foodtrucker*innen zu erklären. Es werden sowohl die Erwerbsform der (Solo-)Selbstständigkeit als auch die Branchenspezifika der Gastronomie in den Blick genommen und das internationale Phänomen Streetfood und Foodtrucks beschrieben. Das triangulative methodische Vorgehen und die gegenstandsoffene Forschungshaltung der Grounded Theory ermöglichen es, ein in Entstehung befindliches Branchenumfeld abseits des typischen arbeitssoziologischen Untersuchungsfeldes der abhängigen Erwerbsarbeit nicht nur zu beschreiben, sondern auch zu vielseitigen Befunden zu gelangen. Die empirischen Erkenntnisse liefern einen Einblick in die Einbettungsdimensionen, die Phasenhaftigkeit und unterschiedlichen Strategien unternehmerischen Handelns in der Gastronomie. Darüber hinaus sind die Erkenntnisse und das entwickelte theoretische Modell der mobilen Selbstständigkeit anschlussfähig an Diskurse zu neuen Formen der Erwerbsarbeit und „New Work“.
