Download or read book The Social Impact of Informal Economies in Eastern Europe written by Manuela Stanculescu and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-08 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title was first published in 2002. In State socialist societies, informal economies were essential for the functioning of the economy as well as for household provision. Since the beginning of social transformation they have been flourishing better than ever before. They are a main outlet on the market for the newly emerging middle classes, stabilize the situation of many workers and pensioners, and in countries on the downward slope they are essential for the survival of large impoverished groups. Presenting recent research on the social importance of informal economies, especially in Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania and Russia, the editors give a short introduction for each country, and a common compilation of basic economic and social data follows in the appendix. Household strategies in the ’shadow’, groups of informal winners and losers, informal employment in town and countryside, outcomes from informal activities, the macro-economic importance of informal economies, and researching methods are all investigated.

Download or read book Arrival Neighborhoods in Europe since the mid-19th Century written by David Templin and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-08-26 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book uses the concept of "arrival spaces" to examine the relationship between migration processes, social infrastructures, and the transformation of urban spaces in Europe since the mid-19th century. Case studies cover cities from London to Palermo and from Antwerp to St. Petersburg, including both metropolises and small towns. The chapters examine the emergence of settlement patterns, the functioning of arrival infrastructures, and the public representations of neighborhoods which have been shaped by internal or international migrations. By understanding these neighborhoods as spaces of arrival and as infrastructural hubs, this volume offers a new perspective on the profound impact of migration on European cities in modern and contemporary history. This volume makes a valuable contribution to both migration research and urban history and will be of interest to researchers and students studying the relationship between cities and migration in Europe’s past and present.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In europäischer Vergleichsperspektive nimmt die Religionsgeschichte der Albaner eine Sonderstellung ein. Sunnitischer Islam, der muslimische Derwischorden der Bektashi, das orthodoxe und das katholische Christentum haben sich seit dem Mittelalter zu einem vielschichtigen Zusammenleben zwischen friedlichem Nebeneinander und Phasen verstärkter Abgrenzung entwickelt. Die Volksrepublik Albanien war zudem im 20. Jahrhundert der einzige offiziell atheistische Staat der Welt. Dieser Band vermittelt einen Einblick in die Geschichte der Religionen und Konfessionen seit dem Mittelalter und behandelt zentrale Fragen des Verhältnisses von Religion, Identität und Gesellschaft.

Download or read book Performing Nostalgia: Migration Culture and Creativity in South Albania written by Eckehard Pistrick and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Migration studies is an area of increasing significance in musicology as in other disciplines. How do migrants express and imagine themselves through musical practice? How does music help them to construct social imaginaries and to cope with longings and belongings? In this study of migration music in postsocialist Albania, Eckehard Pistrick identifies links between sound, space, emotionality and mobility in performance, provides new insights into the controversial relationship between sound and migration, and sheds light on the cultural effects of migration processes. Central to Pistrick‘s approach is the essential role of emotionality for musical creativity which is highlighted throughout the volume: pain and longing are discussed not as a traumatising end point, but as a driving force for human action and as a source for cultural creativity. In addition, the study provides a fascinating overview about the current state of a rarely documented vocal tradition in Europe that is a part of the mosaic of Mediterranean singing traditions. It refers to the challenges imposed onto this practice by heritage politics, the dynamics of retraditionalisation and musical globalisation. In this sense the book constitutes an important study to the dynamics of postsocialism as seen from a musicological perspective.

Download or read book Dreaming and Historical Consciousness in Island Greece written by Charles Stewart and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2017-04-06 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On publication in 2012, Dreaming and Historical Consciousness in Island Greece quickly met wide acclaim as a gripping work that, according to the Times Literary Supplement, “offers a wholly new way of thinking about dreams in their social contexts.” It tells an extraordinary story of spiritual fervor, prophecy, and the ghosts of the distant past coming alive in the present. This new affordable paperback brings it to the wider audience that it deserves. Charles Stewart tells the story of the inhabitants of Kóronos, on the Greek island of Naxos, who, in the 1830s, began experiencing dreams in which the Virgin Mary instructed them to search for buried Christian icons nearby and build a church to house the ones they found. Miraculously, they dug and found several icons and human remains, and at night the ancient owners of them would speak to them in dreams. The inhabitants built the church and in the years since have experienced further waves of dreams and startling prophesies that shaped their understanding of the past and future and often put them at odds with state authorities. Today, Kóronos is the site of one of the largest annual pilgrimages in the Mediterranean. Telling this fascinating story, Stewart draws on his long-term fieldwork and original historical sources to explore dreaming as a mediator of historical change, while widening the understanding of historical consciousness and history itself.

Download or read book Greek Festivals, Modern and Ancient written by Evy Johanne Håland and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2017-06-20 with total page 479 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume represents a multi-faceted, cross-period product of fieldwork conducted in contemporary Greece in combination with ancient sources. Based on a comparative analysis of important religious festivals and life-cycle rituals, the book investigates the importance of cults connected with the Greek female sphere and its relation to the official male-dominated ideology. Within these festivals are encountered supplementary, complementary or competing ideologies connected with men and women, and it is shown that there is not a one-way power structure or male dominance within Greek culture, but rather competing powers linked to the two sexes and their respective spheres. In addition to gender, the book also explores the relationship between the “great” and “little” societies, in the form of official and popular religion. As such, it will serve to broaden the reader’s knowledge of ancient, but also modern, society, because it concerns the relationship between various spheres of life which each possess their own competing and overlapping, but also co-existing, value-systems.

This book was released on 2020-04-21 with total page 487 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Challenges of Modernity offers a broad account of the social and economic history of Central and Eastern Europe in the twentieth century and asks critical questions about the structure and experience of modernity in different contexts and periods. This volume focuses on central questions such as: How did the various aspects of modernity manifest themselves in the region, and what were their limits? How was the multifaceted transition from a mainly agrarian to an industrial and post-industrial society experienced and perceived by historical subjects? Did Central and Eastern Europe in fact approximate its dream of modernity in the twentieth century despite all the reversals, detours and third-way visions? Structured chronologically and taking a comparative approach, a range of international contributors combine a focus on the overarching problems of the region with a discussion of individual countries and societies, offering the reader a comprehensive, nuanced survey of the social and economic history of this complex region in the recent past. The first in a four-volume set on Central and Eastern Europe in the twentieth century, it is the go-to resource for those interested in the ‘challenges of modernity‘ faced by this dynamic region.

Download or read book Makedonien written by Gabriella Schubert and published by Otto Harrassowitz Verlag. This book was released on 2005 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Um Makedonien ist es wieder still geworden. Noch 1999, als es die gewaltigen Fluchtlingsstrome aus dem Kosovo zu bewaltigen hatte, stand es im Mittelpunkt des Weltinteresses. Gleichwohl war es auch mit Problemen im eigenen Lande konfrontiert: Die andauernden Spannungen im Zusammenleben zwischen Makedoniern und Albanern eskalierten zu bewaffneten Konflikten. Ihre Ausweitung konnte 2001 nur durch das Engagement der EU, der USA und der NATO verhindert werden. In beharrlichen Verhandlungen setzten sie das am 13. August 2001 unterzeichnete Ohrider Abkommen durch, das zur Beendigung der sieben Monate andauernden Kampfe zwischen der UCK und den makedonischen Sicherheitskraften fuhrte und sich zum Ziel setzte, das Land zu befrieden und zu reformieren. Der in der Folge eingeleitete Reformprozess loste viele, jedoch nicht alle Konfliktpotentiale im interethnischen Zusammenleben. Die raumliche und mentale Segregation von Makedoniern und Albanern bleibt eine bestandige Realitat und Gefahrenquelle.In diesem Sammelband sind die uberarbeiteten Fassungen der meisten Vortrage der Zweiten deutsch-makedonischen Konferenz in Jena (2001) enthalten. Sie vermitteln ein moglichst vielseitiges Bild uber Makedonien. Daher enthalt es sowohl Beitrage zu historisch-kulturellen Themen, zur Bevolkerungs- und Sprachentwicklung, zur Sprachpolitik und zu interethnischen Beziehungen, als auch Beitrage zur aktuellen politischen und sozialen Lage, zum Verhaltnis Makedoniens zur EU und zur Nato. Informiert wird schliesslich auch uber den Stand der Makedonistik in Deutschland sowie der Germanistik in Makedonien und uber makedonische Gegenwartsliteratur.

This book was released on 2019-04-04 with total page 477 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By using both modern and ancient sources, this volume explores the relationship between official religion and popular belief in Greece, as illustrated by the relations between competing ideologies, or the relationship between ideology and mentality. It shows that the communicative aspect of the religious festival is central, and allows the reader to get to know other sides of Greece than the picture that today dominates the news resulting from the economic crisis with which the county has struggled for several years.
