Abstract

Children feature centrally in the ubiquitous narratives of 'migration crises'. They are often depicted as essentially vulnerable and in need of special protections, or suspiciously adult-like and a threat to national borders. At the same time, many voices, experiences, and stories are rarely heard, especially about children on the move within the global South. This bilingual book, written in English and Spanish, challenges simplistic narratives to enrich perspectives and understanding. Drawing on collaborations between young (im)migrants, researchers, artists and activists, this collection asks new questions about how crises are produced, mobility is controlled, and childhood is conceptualised. Answers to these questions have profound implications for resources, infrastructures, and relationships of care. Authors offer insights from diverse global contexts, painting a rich and insightful tapestry about childhood (im)mobility. They stress that children are more than recipients of care and that the crises they face are multiple and stratifying, with long historical roots. Readers are invited to understand migration as an act of concern and love, and to attend to how the solidarities between citizens and 'others', adults and children, and between children, are understood and forged.

Abstract

What are the connections between space, control and world view? The author answers this question using the concept of cognitive mapping, which he presents and discusses as a theoretical concept of social analysis and as an empirical means of research. Surveillance - so his thesis - makes the examination and control of worldviews possible and thus becomes a form of social orientation. At the same time, worldviews also provide a basis for understanding attitudes towards surveillance measures. Surveillance in this sense is not a product of modernity, but occurs in all historical epochs and serves the organization of reality. Space and spatial notions of the world are shaped by the environment and the experiences people have in it. Socio-spatial conceptions are the origin of discourses of surveillance and are in turn influenced by forms of control. Worldviews can be used to trace attitudes and surveillance and the orientation patterns behind them. This book deals with these interrelations using the concept of cognitive mapping. This concept analyses causes and effects and explains how they play an important role in processes of social exclusion/integration or the possibilities of identity formation. Welche Zusammenhänge bestehen zwischen Raum, Kontrolle und Weltbild? Der Autor beantwortet diese Frage anhand des Konzepts des cognitive mapping, das er als theoretisches Konzept der Gesellschaftsanalyse sowie als empirisches Mittel der Forschung vorstellt und diskutiert. Überwachung - so seine These - macht die Überprüfung und Kontrolle von Weltbildern möglich und wird damit zu einer Form gesellschaftlicher Orientierung. Zugleich bieten Weltbilder auch eine Grundlage für das Verständnis von Einstellungen zu Überwachungsmaßnahmen. Überwachung in diesem Sinne ist kein Produkt der Moderne, sondern kommt in allen historischen Epochen vor und dient der Organisation von Realität. Raum und räumliche Vorstellungen von der Welt werden von der Umwelt und den Erfahrungen geformt, die Menschen in ihnen machen. Sozial-räumliche Vorstellungen sind Ursprungvon Diskursen der Überwachung und werden im Gegenzug durch Formen der Kontrolle beeinflusst. Über Weltbilder lassen sich Einstellungen u Überwachung und den dahinterstehenden Orientierungsmustern nachvollziehen. Das vorliegende Buch beschäftigt sich mit diesen Zusammenhängen anhand des Konzepts des cognitive mapping. Mit diesem Konzept werden Ursachen und Wirkungen analysiert und es wird erklärt, wie diese bei Prozessen sozialer Ausgrenzung/ Integration oder den Möglichkeiten von Identitätsformation eine wichtige Rolle spielen.

Abstract

This open access book presents multiple disciplinary perspectives on the challenges and opportunities for sustainable development in the South African mountain city of Phuthaditjhaba. These challenges are embedded in the complex environmental, socio-cultural and political contexts of the region. Established as the capital of the QwaQwa ‘homeland’ under Grand Apartheid, this city is now home to between 400,000 – 700,000 people but in many areas lacks formal infrastructure and services. Each chapter of this volume addresses a different aspect of the city’s development and all take the UN Sustainable Development Goals as a common framework to guide their reflections on potential sustainable futures for Phuthaditjhaba. While the circumstances in Phuthaditjhaba will be familiar to many researchers of informal and growing cities in developing regions, the mountain setting of the city brings its own set of challenges and opportunities linked to the rugged and steep terrain, remoteness and natural resources. This book serves to showcase the diverse research taking place in this emerging mountain city and provide reflections on how a sustainable future can be ensured for its environment and inhabitants.

Abstract

This open access volume raises awareness of the histories, geographies, and practices of universities and analyzes their role as key actors in today’s global knowledge economy. Universities are centers of research, teaching, and expertise with significant economic, social, and cultural impacts at different geographical scales. Scholars from a variety of disciplines and countries offer original analyses and discussions along five main themes: historical perspectives on the university as a site of knowledge production, cultural encounter, and political interest; institutional perspectives on university governance and the creation of innovative environments; relationships between universities and the city; the impact of universities on national and regional economies and cultures; and the processes of internationalization through student mobility, the creation of education hubs, and global regionalism in higher education.
