The Doukhobors, Russian-speaking immigrants who arrived in Canada beginning in 1899, are known primarily to the Canadian public through the sensationalist images of them as nude protestors, anarchists, and religious fanatics - representations largely propagated by government commissions and the Canadian media. In Negotiating Memory, Julie Rak examines the ways in which autobiographical strategies have been employed by the Doukhobors themselves in order to retell and reclaim their own history. Drawing from oral interviews, court documents, government reports, prison diaries, and media accounts, Rak demonstrates how the Doukhobors employed both "classic" and alternative forms of autobiography to communicate their views about communal living, vegetarianism, activism, and spiritual life, as well as to pass on traditions to successive generations. More than a historical work, this book brings together recent theories concerning subjectivity, autobiography, and identity, and shows ...

Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2007 im Fachbereich Soziologie - Wissen und Information, Note: 1,7, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (Institut für Sozialwissenschaften), Veranstaltung: Methodenseminar, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Wie schon im allgemeinen Sprachgebrauch feststellbar, ist der Begriff des Paradigma relativ vertraut und wird oft verwendet, ob von Wissenschaftlern oder von Laien. An sich wäre diese Tatsache nicht weiter von Bedeutung, wenn man nicht wüsste, dass er vor gerade einmal 50 Jahren aus der Linguistik entlehnt wurde und durch das Werk eines einzelnen Wissenschaftlers den Stellenwert bekam, den er bis heute besitzt. Dieses Werk jedoch ist wiederum den wenigsten bekannt. Selbst innerhalb der Wissenschaftsgemeinschaft ist es sehr wahrscheinlich nur den Vertretern weniger Disziplinen besser vertraut, von Laien ganz zu schweigen. Was man aus dieser einfachen Beobachtung ablesen kann, scheint für die ganze Theorie symptomatisch zu sein, die diesem Werk zu Grunde liegt. ...

Als alles anders wurde: 1968 das erste globale Jahr in der Weltgeschichte1968 waren die Dinge weltweit in Bewegung. Mark Kurlansky zeichnet die verblüffende Gleichzeitigkeit der Ereignisse so nach, dass wir diese atemlosen zwölf Monate wie ein Live-Porträt unserer globalen Gegenwart erleben.1968 war das Jahr von Sex, Drugs and Rock n Roll. Es war auch das Jahr, in dem Martin Luther King und Bobby Kennedy ermordet wurden; das Jahr der Tet-Offensive in Vietnam und der Antikriegsbewegung, des Prager Frühlings und von Black Power, des Beginns der neuen Frauenbewegung und spontaner antiautoritärer Aufstände in New York, Chicago, Berkeley, Paris, Prag, Tokio, Berlin oder Mexiko City. Die Olympiade in Mexiko wurde nach dem Massaker an Hunderten Studenten zu einem Desaster; Frankreich stand nach Massenprotesten von Studenten und Arbeitern vor einem Bürgerkrieg. Alles war in permanenter Bewegung; niemals hat es so viele Veränderungen und kulturelle Neuerungen gegeben. Durch die Einführung von L...
