Abstract

Cultural Criminology and the Carnival of Crime attempts to make sense of the current increase in violence, cruelty, hate and humiliation, which has come to permeate daily life. The text argues that an overly organised economic world has provoked a widespread desire for extreme, oppositional forms of popular and personal pleasure. This desire has resulted in a cathartic 'second life' of illicit pleasures often deemed criminal by those in power. Amongst the exciting issues Mike Presdee addresses are:* joyriding* street crime* antisocial behaviour in private via the inter

Abstract

In dit boek wordt een vergelijkende analyse gepresenteerd van een achttal sociale bewegingen in België en Nederland. De grondslag van deze bewegingen varieert van sekse en seksuele voorkeur, via patiënt-zijn tot religie en etniciteit. Het gaat hier zowel om de identiteitsaspecten van de verschillende bewegingen als om de politieke context waarin zij functioneren. De vrouwenbeweging en de homobeweging zijn twee goede voorbeelden van sociale bewegingen met een sterke identiteitscomponent en van bewegingen die zich in de politieke arena begeven. In de bijdragen 'Op zoek naar de vrouwenbeweging in de jaren negentig' en 'Homoseksuelen: een nieuwe minderheid in ontzuilend door deze dubbele bril bekeken door respectievelijk Joyce Oudshoorn en Jan Willem Duyvendak. Dit boek bevat bijdragen over acht sociale bewegingen in Nederland en België: homoseksuelen in Nederland, de vrouwenbeweging, de witte beweging in België (naar aanleiding van pedofilieschandalen), de patiëntenbeweging, de antiracistische beweging in België, Molukse netwerken in Nederland, Moslims in de Nederlandse politiek en een Nederlandse protestantse beweging. De grondslag van deze sociale bewegingen varieert sterk, maar het zijn allemaal bewegingen die gebaseerd zijn op een bepaalde groepsidentiteit. Er is bijzondere aandacht voor de interactie van deze sociale bewegingen met de politiek.

Abstract

In the two decades after World War II, Germans on both sides of the iron curtain fought vehemently over American cultural imports. Uta G. Poiger traces how westerns, jeans, jazz, rock 'n' roll, and stars like Marlon Brando or Elvis Presley reached adolescents in both Germanies, who eagerly adopted the new styles. Poiger reveals that East and West German authorities deployed gender and racial norms to contain Americanized youth cultures in their own territories and to carry on the ideological Cold War battle with each other. Poiger's lively account is based on an impressive array of sources, ranging from films, newspapers, and contemporary sociological studies, to German and U.S. archival materials. Jazz, Rock, and Rebels examines diverging responses to American culture in East and West Germany by linking these to changes in social science research, political cultures, state institutions, and international alliance systems. In the first two decades of the Cold War, consumer culture became a way to delineate the boundaries between East and West. This pathbreaking study, the first comparative cultural history of the two Germanies, sheds new light on the legacy of Weimar and National Socialism, on gender and race relations in Europe, and on Americanization and the Cold War.
