Nevertheless, we show that these approaches have rarely been explicitly applied in higher education research. This is somewhat surprising because mixed methods and empirical research into higher education seem to be a perfect match for several reasons: (1) the role of the researcher, which is associated with strong intersections between the research subject and the research object; (2) the research process, which relies on concepts and theories that are borrowed from other research fields; and (3) the research object, which exhibits unclear techniques in teaching and learning, making it difficult to grasp causalities between input and results.

Focusing on Poland, this article proposes the term "border trouble" to interpret the politicized split in memory that has run through Polish culture since the end of the Second World War. Border trouble is a form of cultural trauma that transcends binaries of perpetrator/victim and oppressor/oppressed; it is also a tool for analyzing the ways in which spatial imagination, memory, and identity interact in visual and literary narratives. A close analysis of four recent feature films demonstrates the emergence of a visual grammar of cosmopolitan memory and identity in relation to borderland spaces. Wojciech Smarzowski's R{\´o}ża ("Rose," 2011) and Agnieszka Holland's Pokot ("Spoor," 2017) are both set in territories that were transferred from Germany to Poland in 1945. Wołyń ("Volhynia," released internationally as "Hatred," 2016) and W ciemności ("In Darkness," 2011), also directed by Smarzowski and Holland respectively, are set in regions that were under Polish administration before the war but were transferred to Soviet Ukraine in 1945. All four productions break new ground in the memorialization of the post-war legacy in Poland. They deconstruct hitherto dominant discourses of simultaneity and ethnic homogeneity, engaging in Poland's wars of symbols as a third voice: anti-nationalist, but also refusing to essentialize cosmopolitan identity.

To fill this gap, this paper aims to discuss one of the most important sources of the 'permanent' political crisis in the country: the historical evolution of legal emergency power. In order to highlight how these policies have intensified the highly fragile citizenship regime by weakening the separation of power, repressing the use of political rights and increasing the discretionary power of both the executive and judiciary authorities, the paper sheds light on the emergence and production of a specific form of legality based on the idea of emergency and the principle of executive prerogative.

It was originally based on a simple idea— it would be unusual if, in a society that might be reasonably deemed as successful, its citizens were deeply unhappy. This combination— successful societies and happy citizens— raised immediate and obvious problems. How might one define "success" when dealing, for example, with a society as large and as complex as the United States? We ran into equally major problems when trying to understand "happiness." Yet one constantly hears political analysts talking about the success or failure of various democratic institutions. In ordinary conversations one constantly hears people talking about being happy or unhappy. In the everyday world, conversations about living in a successful society or about being happy do not appear to cause bewilderment or confusion. "Ordinary people" do not appear to find questions like— is your school successful or are you happily married?— meaningless or absurd. Yet, in the social sciences, both "successful societies" and "happy lives" are seen to be troublesome. As our research into happiness and success unfolded, the conundrums we discussed were threefold: societal conditions, measurements and concepts. What are the key social factors that are indispensable for the social and political stability of any given society? Is it possible to develop precise measures of social success that would give us reliable data? There are a range of economic indicators that might be associated with success, such as labor productivity, economic growth rates, low inflation and a robust GDP. Are there equally reliable political and social measures of a successful society and human happiness? For example, rule of law and the absence of large- scale corruption might be relevant to the assessment of societal happiness. These questions about success led us inexorably to what seems to be a futile notion: happiness. Economic variables such as income or psychological measures of well- being in terms of mental health could be easily analyzed; however, happiness is a dimension that has been elusive to the social sciences. In our unfolding conversation, there was also another stream of thought, namely that the social sciences appeared to be more open to the study of human unhappiness rather than happiness.}, language = {en} } @article{Turner2019, author = {Turner, Bryan S.}, title = {A Nineteenth-Century Turning Point}, series = {Regimes of happiness : comparative and historical studies}, journal = {Regimes of happiness : comparative and historical studies}, publisher = {Anthem Press.}, address = {London}, isbn = {978-1-78308-886-7}, pages = {235 -- 248}, year = {2019}, abstract = {Happiness as the ultimate goal of human endeavour is a thread running through theology and philosophy from the ancient Greeks to modern times. Such a claim raises immediately a host of critical objections and problems relating to the idea of cultural relativism. Can the theme of happiness be continuous and how would we know that? One way to overcome this dilemma is to identify 'regimes of happiness' - that is, clusters of ideas, practices and institutions that in one way or another connect to broad ideas of human wellbeing, flourishing and satisfaction or Eudaimonia to use the word that dominates Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics (Contreras- Vejar and Turner, 2018). Contemporary discussions of happiness almost invariably start with Aristotle (Nagel, 1972). However, the methodology here is to some extent borrowed from Michel Foucault to understand the 'genealogy' of happiness across different social and cultural formations. In the Western world one could identify an Aristotelian regime of happiness based on the idea of a sound polity and flourishing citizens. There is also a Christian regime of happiness around such figures as St. Augustine and within which there have been radical shifts most notably brought about by Luther and the Protestant Reformation. Regimes of happiness can overlap with each other and their borders are obviously fuzzy. Some regimes may last a long time in various forms. For example, Aristotle's treatment of happiness is one of the most cited versions of happiness across the West. The idea of happiness is, however, not confined to the West. For example, the Vietnamese Constitution that was devised by Ho Chi Minh, an admirer of America society, crafted the 1945 Constitution with three key words as its primary values - Independence-freedom-happiness (or niem hanh phuc). The 2013 version of the Constitution in Article 3 says, 'The state guarantees […] that people enjoy what is abundant and free for a happy life with conditions for all- round development.' One further notion behind our discussion of 'regimes of happiness' is that in principle we can detect important shifts in regimes that are associated both with specific networks of individual thinkers, and with institutional changes in the location of intellectuals in these networks.

The second shortcoming concerns the literatures on precisely these actors, namely established trade union research and research on social movements.

The consequences of such long wars could be observed in all sectors including economic, social, cultural and religious sectors. The social structure, norms and attitudes are intensely affected. Many women specifically divorced women found them-selves in challenging different difficulties such as social as well as economic situations. Thus the divorced women in Iraqi Kurdistan are the focus of this research. Considering the fact that there is very few empirical researches on this topic, a constructivist grounded theory methodology (CGT) is viewed as reliable in order to come up with a comprehensive picture about the everyday life of divorced women in Iraqi Kurdistan. Data collected in Sulaimani city in Iraqi Kurdistan. The work of Kathy Charmaz was chosen to be the main methodological context of the research and the main data collection method was individual intensive narrative interviews with divorced women. Women generally and divorced women specifically in Iraqi Kurdistan are living in a patriarchal society that passing through many changes due to the above mentioned wars among many other factors. This research is trying to study the everyday life of divorced women in such situations and the forms of social insecurity they are experiencing. The social institutions starting from the family as a very significant institution for women to the governmental and non-governmental institutions that are working to support women, and the copying strategies, are in focus in this research. The main research argument is that the family is playing ambivalent roles in divorced women's life. For instance, on one side families are revealed to be an essential source of security to most respondents, on the other side families posed also many threats and restrictions on those women. This argument supported by what called by Suad joseph "the paradox of support and suppression" . Another important finding is that the stat institution(laws , constitutions ,Offices of combating violence against woman and family) are supporting women somehow and offering them protection from the insecurities but it is clear that the existence of the laws does not stop the violence against women in Iraqi Kurdistan, As explained by Pateman because the laws /the contract is a sexual-social contract that upholds the sex rights of males and grants them more privileges than females. The political instability, Tribal social norms also play a major role in influencing the rule of law. It is noteworthy to refer that analyzing the interviews in this research showed that in spite that divorced women living in insecurities and facing difficulties but most of the respondents try to find a coping strategies to tackle difficult situations and to deal with the violence they face; these strategies are bargaining, sometimes compromising or resisting …etc. Different theories used to explain these coping strategies such as bargaining with patriarchy. Kandiyoti who stated that women living under certain restraints struggle to find way and strategies to enhance their situations. The research finding also revealed that the western liberal feminist view of agency is limited this is agree with Saba Mahmood and what she explained about Muslim women agency. For my respondents, who are divorced women, their agency reveals itself in different ways, in resisting or compromising with or even obeying the power of male relatives, and the normative system in the society. Agency is also explained the behavior of women contacting formal state institutions in cases of violence like the police or Offices of combating violence against woman and family.}, language = {en} } @article{RiedererVerwiebeSeewann2019, author = {Riederer, Bernhard Edwin and Verwiebe, Roland and Seewann, Lena}, title = {Changing social stratification in Vienna}, series = {Population, Space and Place}, volume = {25}, journal = {Population, Space and Place}, number = {2}, publisher = {Wiley-Blackwell}, address = {New York}, issn = {1544-8444}, doi = {10.1002/psp.2215}, pages = {1 -- 11}, year = {2019}, abstract = {The social stratification systems of major cities are transforming all around the globe. International research has been discussing this trend and focus on changing occupational classes. However, the precise effects on urban households, taking social welfare and different family arrangements into account, as well as the precise effects on people with a migration background, remain unclear. Using the example of Vienna, this article examines immigration as a key dimension for social stratification. Although household income structures in Austria have remained comparatively stable over the past two decades, the middle-income share in Vienna (as the sole metropolis in Austria) has dramatically decreased. This predominantly affects people from migrant backgrounds. Using a comprehensive dataset (two waves, N = 16,700 participants, including N = 4,500 migrants), we systematically examine the role of (a) migration-specific and (b) education- and employment-related factors to explain the decline of middle-income migrants. The results of multinomial logistic regression and decomposition analyses suggest that transformations in the labour market is the main driving force. Changing migrant characteristics have counteracted this process. If today's migrants displayed similar showed characteristics (e.g., origin and educational levels) to those prevalent in the past decade, the ethnic stratification disparities would have been even stronger.}, language = {en} } @article{VerwiebeWolfSeewann2019, author = {Verwiebe, Roland and Wolf, Margarita and Seewann, Lena}, title = {Werte, Wertebildung und ihre interdisziplin{\"a}re Deutung}, series = {Werte und Wertebildung aus interdisziplin{\"a}rer Perspektive}, journal = {Werte und Wertebildung aus interdisziplin{\"a}rer Perspektive}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Wiesbaden}, isbn = {978-3-658-21975-8}, pages = {285 -- 307}, year = {2019}, language = {de} } @article{VerwiebeSeewann2019, author = {Verwiebe, Roland and Seewann, Lena}, title = {Werte und Wertebildung in der Einwanderungsgesellschaft}, series = {Werte und Wertebildung aus interdisziplin{\"a}rer Perspektive}, journal = {Werte und Wertebildung aus interdisziplin{\"a}rer Perspektive}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Wiesbaden}, isbn = {978-3-658-21975-8}, pages = {239 -- 264}, year = {2019}, language = {de} } @phdthesis{Brase2019, author = {Brase, Alexa Kristin}, title = {Spiele um Studium und Lehre?

We show that precedents provide focal points that allow adopting collective decisions in coordination situations despite diverging preferences. Reliance on previous cases creates tacitly evolving doctrine that may develop incrementally. Council decision-making is also likely to be facilitated by an institutional logic of escalation driven by institutional constraints following from the typically staged response to crisis situations. We explore the usefulness of our theoretical argument with evidence from the Council doctrine on terrorism that has evolved since 1985. The key decisions studied include the 1992 sanctions resolution against Libya and the 2001 Council response to the 9/11 attacks.

While it has played an increasing role at least since the 1990s, only the social consequences of the global financial crises in 2008 have given it its break that led to UK's 'Brexit' and the election of Donald Trump as US President in 2016, as well as promoting what has been called left populism in countries that were hit the hardest by both the banking crisis and consequential neo-liberal austerity politics in the EU, such as Greece and Portugal. In 2017, the French Front National (FN) attracted many voters in the French Presidential elections; we have seen the radicalization of the Alternative f{\"u}r Deutschland (AfD) in Germany and the formation of centre-right government in Austria. Further, we have witnessed the consolidation of autocratic regimes, as in the EU member states Poland and Greece. All these manifestations of right-wing populism share a common feature: they attack or even compromise the core elements of democratic societies such as the separation of powers, protection of minorities, or the rule of law. Despite a broad debate on the re-emergence of 'populism' in the transition from the twentieth to the twenty-first century that has brought forth many interesting findings, a lack of sociological reasoning cannot be denied, as sociology itself withdrew from theorising populism decades ago and largely left the field to political sciences and history. In a sense, Populism and the Crisis of Democracy considers itself a contribution to begin filling this lacuna. Written in a direct and clear style, this set of volumes will be an invaluable reference for students and scholars in the field of political theory, political sociology and European Studies. This volume Concepts and Theory offers new and fresh perspectives on the debate on populism. Starting from complaints about the problems of conceptualising populism that in recent years have begun to revolve around themselves, the chapters offer a fundamental critique of the term and concept of populism, theoretically inspired typologies and descriptions of currently dominant concepts, and ways to elaborate on them. With regard to theory, the volume offers approaches that exceed the disciplinary horizon of political science that so far has dominated the debate. As sociological theory so far has been more or less absent in the debate on populism, only few efforts have been made to discuss populism more intensely within different theoretical contexts in order to explain its dynamics and processes. Thus, this volume offers critical views on the debate on populism from the perspectives of political economy and the analysis of critical historical events, the links of analyses of populism with social movement mobilisation, the significance of 'superfluous populations' in the rise of populism and an analysis of the exclusionary character of populism from the perspective of the theory of social closure.}, language = {en} } @phdthesis{Renard2019, author = {Renard, L{\´e}a}, title = {Socio-histoire de l'observation statistique de l'alt{\´e}rit{\´e}}, school = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, pages = {590}, year = {2019}, abstract = {Autour de 1990 en France et de 2005 en Allemagne, deux nouvelles cat{\´e}gories sont introduites dans le champ de la statistique de la population.

Pour pouvoir comprendre le virage entrepris dans les nomenclatures statistiques et le resituer dans une perspective de longue dur{\´e}e, nous avons postul{\´e} qu'il fallait aller chercher dans l'histoire de la statistique ce qui avait tenu lieu de classification principale de la population, en lieu et place des nouvelles cat{\´e}gories invent{\´e}es au tournant des XXe et XXIe si{\`e}cles.

Pour observer ces processus empiriquement, nous avons choisi de comparer les pratiques de cat{\´e}gorisation de l'alt{\´e}rit{\´e} et la mobilit{\´e} (1) en France et en Allemagne, (2) {\`a} deux p{\´e}riodes diff{\´e}rentes, 1880-1914 et 1990-2010, et (3) dans le contexte m{\´e}tropolitain et colonial.

La d{\´e}marche n'est ni chronologique ni r{\´e}trospective : elle contraste deux configurations historiques pour tenter d'identifier des ressemblances et des diff{\´e}rences. Nos r{\´e}sultats montrent qu'entre 1880 et 1914, la cat{\´e}gorie de migration est majoritairement associ{\´e}e {\`a} un ph{\´e}nom{\`e}ne de mobilit{\´e} dans les discours politiques et statistiques. {\`A} cette {\´e}poque, la focale se porte sur l'{\´e}migration, red{\´e}finie comme un d{\´e}placement g{\´e}ographique en dehors des fronti{\`e}res de la nation et de l'Empire. Le transport des « {\´e}migrants », cat{\´e}gorie de population qui nourrit le d{\´e}bat et les tableaux statistiques, fait l'objet des probl{\´e}matisations politiques.

For this reason, we assess the expected incidence of moderate carbon price increases for different income groups in 87 mostly low- and middle-income countries. Building on a consistent dataset and method, we find that for countries with per capita incomes of below USD 15,000 per year (at PPP-adjusted 2011 USD) carbon pricing has, on average, progressive distributional effects. We also develop a novel decomposition technique to show that distributional outcomes are primarily determined by differences among income groups in consumption patterns of energy, rather than of food, goods or services. We argue that an inverse U-shape relationship between energy expenditure shares and income explains why carbon pricing tends to be regressive in countries with relatively higher income. Since these countries are likely to have more financial resources and institutional capacities to deal with distributional issues, our findings suggest that mitigating climate change, raising domestic revenue and reducing economic inequality are not mutually exclusive, even in low- and middle-income countries.

Ziel war es herauszufinden, wie BesucherInnen von Großveranstaltungen Hitzetage erleben und wie sie sich w{\"a}hrend unterschiedlicher Wetterbedingungen verhalten. Auf Grundlage der Ergebnisse sollen Empfehlungen zur F{\"o}rderung individuellen Anpassungsverhaltens bei Hitzebelastung an Veranstalter ausgesprochen werden. An sechs aufeinanderfolgenden Wochenenden im Juli und August f{\"u}hrten wir Temperaturmessungen, Verhaltensbeobachtungen und Befragungen unter den BesucherInnen durch. Die Wetterlage an den zw{\"o}lf Erhebungstagen fiel unterschiedlich aus: Es gab sechs Hitzetage mit Temperaturen {\"u}ber 30 °C, vier warme Sommertage und zwei k{\"u}hle Regentage. Es ließen sich unterschiedliche Anpassungsmaßnahmen bei den 2741 beobachteten BesucherInnen identifizieren. Hierzu geh{\"o}ren das Tragen von leichter oder kurzer Kleidung und von Kopfbedeckungen, das Mitf{\"u}hren von Getr{\"a}nken oder Schirmen sowie das Aufhalten im Schatten oder Abk{\"u}hlen in einer Wasserfl{\"a}che. Dabei fanden sich Unterschiede zwischen den verschiedenen Altersgruppen: J{\"u}ngere und {\"A}ltere hatten unterschiedliche Pr{\"a}ferenzen f{\"u}r einzelne Anpassungsmaßnahmen. So suchten BesucherInnen {\"u}ber 60 Jahren bevorzugt Sitzpl{\"a}tze im Schatten auf, wohingegen sich Kinder zum Abk{\"u}hlen in Wasserfl{\"a}chen aufhielten. Die Befragung von 306 BesucherInnen ergab, dass Hitzetage als st{\"a}rker belastend wahrgenommen wurden als Sommer- oder Regentage. Die Mehrheit zeigte zudem ein hohes Bewusstsein f{\"u}r die Thematik Hitzebelastung und Anpassung. Dies spiegelte sich aber nur bei einem Teil der Befragten in ihrem tats{\"a}chlich gezeigten Anpassungsmaßnahmen wider. Offizielle Hitzewarnungen des DWD waren den meisten BesucherInnen an Tagen mit ebendiesen nicht bekannt. Auf Grundlage unserer Untersuchungsergebnisse empfehlen wir eine verbesserte Risikokommunikation in Bezug auf Hitze. Veranstalter und Beh{\"o}rden m{\"u}ssen zielgruppenspezifisch denken, wenn es um die F{\"o}rderung von Hitzeanpassung geht. Angeraten werden u. a. die Schaffung von schattigen Sitzpl{\"a}tzen besonders f{\"u}r {\"a}ltere BesucherInnen und Wasserstellen, an denen Kinder und Jugendliche spielen und sich erfrischen k{\"o}nnen. Da sich Hitzewellen in Zukunft h{\"a}ufen werden, dienen die Erkenntnisse dieser Untersuchung der Planung und Durchf{\"u}hrung weiterer Open-Air-Veranstaltungen.}, language = {de} } @misc{HudsonThiekenBubeck2019, author = {Hudson, Paul and Thieken, Annegret and Bubeck, Philip}, title = {The challenges of longitudinal surveys in the flood risk domain}, series = {Postprints der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftliche Reihe}, journal = {Postprints der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftliche Reihe}, number = {759}, issn = {1866-8372}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-43409}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-434092}, pages = {23}, year = {2019}, abstract = {There has been much research regarding the perceptions, preferences, behaviour, and responses of people exposed to flooding and other nat- ural hazards. Cross-sectional surveys have been the predominant method applied in such research. While cross-sectional data can provide a snapshot of a respondent's behaviour and perceptions, it cannot be assumed that the respondent's perceptions are constant over time. As a result, many important research questions relating to dynamic processes, such as changes in risk perceptions, adaptation behaviour, and resilience cannot be fully addressed by cross-sectional surveys. To overcome these shortcomings, there has been a call for developing longitudinal (or panel) datasets in research on natural hazards, vulnerabilities, and risks. However, experiences with implementing longitudinal surveys in the flood risk domain (FRD), which pose distinct methodological challenges, are largely lacking. The key problems are sample recruitment, attrition rate, and attrition bias. We present a review of the few existing longitudinal surveys in the FRD. In addition, we investigate the potential attrition bias and attrition rates in a panel dataset of flood-affected households in Germany. We find little potential for attrition bias to occur. High attrition rates across longitudinal survey waves are the larger concern. A high attrition rate rapidly depletes the longitudinal sample. To overcome high attrition, longitudinal data should be collected as part of a multisector partnership to allow for sufficient resources to implement sample retention strategies. If flood-specific panels are developed, different sample retention strategies should be applied and evaluated in future research to understand how much-needed longitudinal surveying techniques can be successfully applied to the study of individuals threatened by flooding.}, language = {en} }
