Abstract

Partnerschaftliche Berührungen stellen in ihrer Funktion als Kommunikationsmedium ein von der sozialwissenschaftlichen Forschung bislang kaum behandeltes Phänomen dar. Wie die Ergebnisse der vorliegenden Repräsentativerhebung eindrücklich belegen, besitzen jedoch nicht nur der sprachliche und sexuelle Austausch, sondern auch die vielfältigen Partnerberührungen nicht-sexueller Art immensen Stellenwert für Paarbeziehungen. Dies gilt nach den ersten Berührungen während des Kennenlernens auch für die vielfältigen „Alltagsberührungen“ während der Bestandsphase einer Paarbeziehung. Damit gemeint ist die mehr oder weniger große Zahl der tagtäglichen Berührungen, die vielfach bewusst, häufig aber auch (von einem oder beiden PartnerInnen) unbemerkt „passieren“ und deren Stellenwert häufig erst bei ihrem Ausbleiben wahrgenommen wird, etwa nach dem Verlust des Partners. Die von Matthias Riedel vorgelegte Studie versteht sich als ein erster Schritt zu einer „Soziologie der Berührung“, die wiederum als Teil einer umfassenderen „Soziologie der Sinne“ aufzufassen ist.

Abstract

The Star-Spangled Banner, Denise Duhamel's sixth book of poems, is about falling in love, American-style, with someone who is not American. In the title poem, a small American girl mishears the first line of ""The Star-Spangled Banner"" as ""José, can you see?"", which leads her to imagine a foreign lover of an American woman dressed in a star-spangled gown. The misunderstandings caused by language recur throughout the book: contemplating what ""yes"" means in different cultures; watching Nickelodeon's ""Nick at Nite"" with a husband who grew up in the

Abstract

We are partial to people with whom we share special relationships--if someone is your child, parent, or friend, you wouldn't treat them as you would a stranger. But is partiality justified, and if so, why? Partiality presents a theory of the reasons supporting special treatment within special relationships and explores the vexing problem of how we might reconcile the moral value of these relationships with competing claims of impartial morality. Simon Keller explains that in order to understand why we give special treatment to our family and friends, we need to understand how people come to matter in their own rights. Keller first presents two main accounts of partiality: the projects view, on which reasons of partiality arise from the place that people take within our lives and our commitments, and the relationships view, on which relationships themselves contain fundamental value or reason-giving force. Keller then argues that neither view is satisfactory because neither captures the experience of acting well within special relationships. Instead, Keller defends the individuals view, on which reasons of partiality arise from the value of the individuals with whom our relationships are shared. He defends this view by saying that we must accept that two people, whether friend or stranger, can have the same value, even as their value makes different demands upon people with whom they share different relationships. Keller explores the implications of this claim within a wider understanding of morality and our relationships with groups, institutions, and countries.
