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...

Whittaker Chambers and Elizabeth Bentley shocked America in 1948 with their allegations that Communist spies had penetrated the American government. The resulting perjury trial of Alger Hiss is already legendary, but Chambers and Bentley also named Harry Dexter White, a high-ranking Treasury official. (Hiss himself thought that White had been the real target of the House Un-American Activities Committee.) When White died only a week after his bold defense before Congress, much speculation remained about the cause of his death and the truth of the charges made against him. Armed with a wealth of new information, Bruce Craig examines this controversial case and explores the ambiguities that have haunted it for more than half a century. The highest ranking figure in the Roosevelt and Truman administrations to be accused of espionage, White played a central role in the founding of the United Nations' twin financial institutions, the World Bank and International Monetary Fund. For years...

La utilización implícita de las estrategias de mejora genética animal ha sido una constante desde que se realizó el proceso de domesticación de las especies ganaderas durante el Neolítico. El ser humano ha controlado la reproducción, tomando la decisión acerca de qué individuos van a ser utilizados como progenitores de la siguiente generación (Varona, 2014). La genética es una rama de la biología que trata de los fenómenos de herencia y sus variaciones. Su función es la de comprender las causas de las semejanzas y las diferencias que existen entre los padres y su progenie y, por extensión entre todos los organismos que se encuentran relacionados unos con otros por su descendencia (Blakiston, 1983). La herencia se define como el parecido entre los individuos relacionados por descendencia, y la variación es la aparición de diferencias entre individuos de la misma especie. Por lo tanto la genética es la ciencia del estudio de las semejanzas y diferencias que existen entre los individuos (...
