First Published in 2004. This volume is a collection of the papers from an annual conference in February 1993 of the women’s sections of the British Sociological Association and the Political Studies Association at the London School of Economics. Its focus was ‘Gender, Sexuality and Identity: Commonalities and Difference’. With the exception of Valerie Bryson’s chapter and the introductory chapter, all the chapters in this volume originated as papers presented to that conference. There have been a number of political issues that have characterised the post-Cold War era such as nationalism, religious fundamentalism, inter-ethnic conflict and the process of democratization.In this ground breaking study the authors develop a feminist perspective on these issues and reveal the way that political ideologies use women as symbols of cultural identity. Included are chapters on inter-ethnic conflict in Yugoslavia, the emergence of a "male democracy" in Chile, women's rights in Israel, the far right and women in France and the experience of immigrants in Britain.Gender, Ethnicity and Political Ideologies is a revealing study of women's involvement with restrictive political ideologies and demonstrates the importance of a feminist politics that enables women to understand and work with each other across the boundaries that divide them.

Whilst classical approaches linked development with peace, security has become central to understandings of both war and peacetime. This book uniquely reflects on how to deal with the convergence of war and peace in the context of global economic and geo-political development. It addresses methodological challenges in contemporary approaches to conflict, violence, security peace and development. Two dominant contemporary approaches are selected for debate on methodologies and ethical choices: rational choice and identity-based theorizing. The chapters are arranged as dialogues around contending approaches, to better understand how the inter-locking fields of violent conflict, peace, development and security can be researched and understood. The book considers how theoretical and methodological approaches relate to different ethical and political choices, including around engagement and intervention in the four interwoven fields. Theoretical, methodological and ethical issues emerge from the critical reviews of academic discourses and case-study based chapters from across the world, including Sri Lanka, Ghana, Colombia and Rwanda.This book is an invaluable resource for postgraduate students and researchers in Development Studies, Conflict Studies, Peace Studies and Security Studies.

There is growing interest among scholars and practitioners in how the arts can help rebuild post-conflict societies. This edited collection explores a range of musical practices for social and political peace. By presenting case studies in each chapter, the aim is to engage with musicality in relation to time, space, peace-building, healing, and reconciliation. Emerging scholars' work on Latin America, especially Colombia, and on the African Great Lakes region, including Zimbabwe, Rwanda and Kenya, is brought together with the purpose of reflecting critically on 'music for peace-building' initiatives. Each author considers how legacies of violence are addressed and sometimes overcome; lyrics are examined as a source of insights. These practical “music for peace-building” initiatives include NGO work with youth hip-hop, music for peace, work in education on memory, as well as popular culture and shared rituals. Special attention is paid to historical and contextual settings, to the temporal and spatial dimension of musicality and to youth and gender in peace-building through music.

This book deals in different ways with the politics of death, with art and politics and with the politics of refuge and asylum. The study presents a politics of hope under late capitalism, and cuts through more usual boundaries between art and science, harm and help, death and the politics of barelife.

This book deals in different ways with the politics of death, with art and politics and with the politics of refuge and asylum. Cutting across these fields brings to the fore the fluid quality of social life under late capitalism. The elements of time, space and emotion are part of the overall approach adopted. The individual chapters illustrate themes of despair, striving and the politics of hope, and bring out the fluid and unpredictable qualities of social life. The guiding metaphor is fluidity, or what Urry refers to as “waves; continuous flow; pulsing; fluidity and viscosity” characteristic of life, death, refuge and art under the contemporary global system. Between the worlds of culture, political violence and art, the interconnected themes in this study illuminate conditions of 'liminality', or in-betweenness. The study presents a politics of hope under late capitalism, and cuts through more usual boundaries between art and science, harm and help, death and the politics of barelife. Each chapter grapples with issues that help illustrate wider trends in Global Development and International Relations scholarship and teaching. Amidst growing cynicism about human or even humanitarian values, the volume appeals for a politics of hope and social justice, based on the fluid contours of borderless and amorphous processes of self-organising and radical anarchy.

Dieses Buch beschäftigt sich auf unterschiedliche Weise mit der Politik des Todes, mit Kunst und Politik sowie mit der Politik von Zuflucht und Asyl. Der Schnitt über diese Bereiche bringt die fließende Qualität des gesellschaftlichen Lebens im Spätkapitalismus in den Vordergrund. Die Elemente Zeit, Raum und Emotion sind Teil des Gesamtansatzes. Die einzelnen Kapitel veranschaulichen Themen wie Verzweiflung, Streben und die Politik der Hoffnung und verdeutlichen die fließenden und unvorhersehbaren Qualitäten des gesellschaftlichen Lebens. Die Leitmetapher ist Fluidität oder das, was Urry als „Wellen“ bezeichnet; kontinuierlicher Fluss; pulsierend; „Fluidität und Viskosität“ sind charakteristisch für Leben, Tod, Zuflucht und Kunst im heutigen globalen System. Zwischen den Welten Kultur, politischer Gewalt und Kunst beleuchten die miteinander verbundenen Themen dieser Studie Bedingungen der „Liminalität“ oder des Dazwischen. Die Studie präsentiert eine Politik der Hoffnung im Spätkapitalismus und durchbricht die üblicheren Grenzen zwischen Kunst und Wissenschaft, Schaden und Hilfe, Tod und der Politik des bloßen Lebens. Jedes Kapitel beschäftigt sich mit Themen, die dazu beitragen, umfassendere Trends in der Wissenschaft und Lehre zu globaler Entwicklung und internationalen Beziehungen zu veranschaulichen. Inmitten des wachsenden Zynismus gegenüber menschlichen oder sogar humanitären Werten ruft der Band zu einer Politik der Hoffnung und sozialen Gerechtigkeit auf, die auf den fließenden Konturen grenzenloser und amorpher Prozesse der Selbstorganisation und radikalen Anarchie basiert.
