Anthropological Abstracts is a reference journal published once a year in English language text, listing most of the publications in the field of cultural/social anthropology that have been published in the German language area (Austria, Germany, and Switzerland). Since most German language publications are not included in the major English language abstracting services, Anthropological Abstracts provides a convenient source of information for anthropologists and social scientists who do not read German, offering an awareness of anthropological research and publications in German-speaking countries. Included are journal articles, monographs, anthologies, exhibition catalogs, yearbooks, etc. (Series: Anthropological Abstracts - Cultural / Social Anthropology from German-Speaking Countries - Vol. 9)
How can we make sense of race in Europe? In public discourse, race is understood as an outdated concept and as a reminiscence of a past that has been overcome. Drawing on intersectional feminist theory and a rich selection of examples from political and cultural discourse, Race in Post-Racial Europe provides a unique insight into how gender and racial inequalities are maintained through the claim of being beyond them.
Slavery, both in its historical and modern forms, continues to be a matter of undiminished political and social relevance. This is mirrored by an increasing interest in scholarly research as well as by critical statements from within the field of contemporary art. The present volume is designed to bring together artists and scholars from various fields of study discussing trauma and visuality, or more precisely, memory and denial of traumatic history within visual discourses. The purpose of this project is to put the phenomenon of contemporary art production dealing with the issue of slavery into a wider, interdisciplinary and transcultural context. The book covers current case studies focusing on different media and including visual, literary and performative approaches of dealing with the history of slavery in West-African, American and European cultures.
