Athena to Barbie explores the vexed nature of being a woman. It maps the four corners of impossible choice a female faces because of the female body--her body as spiritual space (Mary), as political space (Athena), as erotic space (Venus), and as materialist space (Barbie). The book tracks the difficulty women face in understanding themselves as someone who has, but is not only, a body. The question of identity is particularly fraught and complicated when it comes to women--because the ability to bear children is a double-edged sword. Across time (including right now), having a womb has shaped how women are viewed and treated in negative ways, and women's childbearing abilities have been used to stereotype, oppress, and constrain them. Pregnancy is powerful, but the possibility of pregnancy comes with impossible pressures and choices. This book takes on the task of reconciliation--how women can understand themselves in light of their bodies--through an intense dive into history, art, literature, theology, and, particularly, philosophy.

The 'Pygmalion phenomenon' is the self-fulfilling prophecy embedded in teachers' expectations. Simply put, when teachers expect students to do well and show intellectual growth, they do; when teachers do not have such expectations, performance and growth are not encouraged and may in fact be discouraged in a variety of ways. Research suggests that our expectations strongly influence the performance of those around us from the members of our football team to the students in our classes. In the Oak School experiment, discussed in the book, teachers were led to believe that certain students selected at random were likely to be showing signs of a spurt in intellectual growth and development. At the end of the year, the students of whom the teachers had these expectations showed significantly greater gains in intellectual growth that did those in the control group. Reissue of a classic book. Original ISBN 0829031537. Printed 1968. Revised and expanded 1992.

Die Nachbarschaft zwischen Polen und Deutschland ist eine dynamische Beziehung, die im Spannungsfeld von Vergangenheit, Eigeninteresse und Europaischer Union aufgebaut wird. Dieses an sich konfliktgenerierende Geflecht bekommt in medialen Diskursen eine mehr oder weniger stark ausgepragte affektive Dimension, die bestimmte Prozesse der Inklusion, der Exklusion oder der Identitatsstiftung generiert bzw. dynamisiert. "Emotionale Nachbarschaft" zeigt theoriegeleitet und evidenzbasiert den diskursiven Charakter derartiger Prozesse und erweitert damit die bisherigen linguistischen und kommunikationswissenschaftlichen Ansatze zur Erforschung von Affekten bzw. Emotionen als kommunikative Phanomene im (print)medialen Umfeld. Das Buch richtet sich sowohl an Wissenschaftler*innen und Studierende als auch an Journalist*innen und andere Praktiker*innen, die Einblick in die Forschung zu medial vermittelten deutsch-polnischen Relationen gewinnen wollen.
Auswanderung aus Deutschland

In den vergangenen Jahren hat sich eine intensive Debatte über die steigende Auswanderung aus Deutschland entwickelt. Besonders beunruhigend ist dabei die offensichtliche Tendenz der internationalen Migration der qualifiziertesten Arbeitskräfte. Jedoch leidet die kontroverse öffentliche und akademische Diskussion unter einem Mangel an differenzierten wissenschaftlichen Analysen. Der Frage nach dem ‚Auswanderungsland Deutschland’ und einem möglichen ‚brain drain’ widmet sich das Buch unter Verwendung von Datensätzen, die in der Migrationsforschung bisher kaum genutzt wurden. Danach ist die gegenwärtige internationale Migration deutscher Staatsbürger insbesondere durch die zunehmende Auswanderung hochqualifizierter Personen gekennzeichnet. Jedoch überwiegen gerade bei den qualifiziertesten Arbeitskräften temporäre Auslandsaufenthalte und zirkuläre Migrationsprozesse. Der internationale und europäische Vergleich analysiert das ‚Einwanderungsland Deutschland’ und zeigt, dass Deutschland im Wettbewerb um die besten Köpfe nur noch im Mittelfeld spielt.
Reproductive Boundaries examines the shifting boundaries of prenatal care in Switzerland, focusing on the Pregnancy Support Center's innovative psychosocial model. By redefining the territory of care, the Center extends its reach beyond the medical domain, exemplifying the reproductivization of life, the increasing organization of various life aspects through a reproductive lens. The book explores how this approach challenges traditional borders between medical and psychosocial care, offering an alternative to Switzerland's heavily medicalized reproductive care. Through ethnographic insights into reproductive talk, it reveals how psychosocial advisors shift the boundaries of reproductive care, balancing support with broader state goals of reproductive governance. Set against Switzerland's history of stratified reproductive policies, the study critically examines how psychosocial care reshapes the landscape of pregnancy, raising questions about surveillance and evolving gender roles. This thought-provoking work invites readers to reconsider the limits and possibilities of care in a fragmented society.

This text explores the difficulties of defining a sociology of 'culture', emphasising the complex, interdisciplinary nature of 'cultural studies', and the variety of theoretical contributions from sociology, literature, history and anthropology. Intended for a wide range of undergraduates, the text covers areas not usually included in cultural studies, together with those more familiar to the field. It deals with the development and breakdown of key conceptual distinctions, like structure/culture, culture/knowledge, objective reality/subjective experience and the implications for the study of culture.

Natural disasters. Hostage situations. Terror attacks. During these and other emergency situations, first responders make split-second judgments: evaluating risks, identifying dangerous conditions, and—often the hardest job of all—attending to those distressed and disturbed by their ordeal. First Responder's Guide to Abnormal Psychology gives readers critical insights into the human impact of extreme trauma, and the various levels of mental impairment suffered by both victims and survivors. Renowned trauma experts William Dorfman and Lenore Walker give this book immediate relevance through the use of real-life examples from a wide range of crisis situations. They have also deliberately minimized research citations within the text for greater readability. Highlights of the coverage: Comprehensive review of the major forms of mental illness and how to recognize them The latest theories of stress, trauma, resilience, and coping Overview of key mental health issues in the law, from competence to the insanity defense Special chapter on emotional and psychological disorders in children and adolescents Introduces the concept of therapeutic justice—an innovative problem-solving court for people with mental illness Intervention strategies for putting psychological knowledge into action A practice-enhancing seminar in book form, First Responder's Guide to Abnormal Psychology is an essential resource for professionals in the emergency, security, and rescue services, as well as a valuable text for those training to enter these demanding careers. It confirms gut feelings, clarifies judgment calls, and puts into sharp focus the human stories behind critical incidents.
