Casual wear and casual behaviour. The different fates of non-conformism in Russia and 'the West'.

Klingseis, Katharina January 2008 (has links) (PDF)
In this paper I will critically reflect upon an intercultural experience connected with appearance, dress, and the different mutual perceptions of 'others' in public space in current Moscow and Vienna. I will construe this experience as fundamentally different attitudes towards informal behaviour, appearance and gender ambivalence. One of the main causes of this situation I have located in the 1960s, a period of anti-authoritarian subcultural upheaval in the Soviet Union as well as 'the West'. The very different social, economic and political contexts of their emergence and their further ('socialist' vs. capitalist) trajectories are, as I will argue, at the root of the perceptions and connotations of casual wear and behaviour in the public spaces of present-day Moscow and Vienna.(author´s abstract) / Series: WU Online Papers in International Business Communication / Series One: Intercultural Communication and Language Learning

Lebensstilkonflikte sozialer Minderheiten im Berliner Quartiersmanagementgebiet Schöneberger Norden

Wortmann, Sabine 25 April 2008 (has links)
Die Arbeit über Lebensstilkonflikte sozialer Minderheiten im Berliner Quartiersmanagement Schöneberger Norden widmet sich einem Konflikt zwischen zwei Gruppen in einem Quartier. Es handelt sich um die Angriffe vor allem arabischer Jugendlicher gegen Homosexuelle und Einrichtungen von Homosexuellen-Initiativen im Schöneberger Norden. Im Kontext der Diskussion um kulturelle Desintegrationstendenzen steht hier die Frage im Mittelpunkt, wie ein konfliktfreies Zusammenleben von sozialen Gruppen mit extrem unterschiedlichen Auffassungen zur sexuellen Freiheit gelingen kann. Simmels Theorie einer gleichgültigen Toleranz als Garant eines friedlichen Nebeneinanders verschiedener Individuen mit unterschiedlichen Lebensstilen in Großstädten wird als Basiskonzept der Untersuchung angenommen. Lebensstile als Integrationsmomente werden darüber hinaus zum zentralen theoretischen Bezugsrahmen der Arbeit. Die an Fallbeispiele geknüpfte These, dass die Integration der Stadtgesellschaft im Untersuchungsgebiet nicht länger gelingt, wird in Bezug auf die o.g. Minderheiten mit Hilfe von Experteninterviews qualitativ überprüft. Die Auswertungen der Experteninterviews und eines Gruppeninterviews mit arabischen Jugendlichen führt zum Ergebnis, dass das hier zu konstatierende Misslingen des Integrationsprozesses vor allem an eine stark akzeptierte Gewaltanwendung der sozial benachteiligten Jugendlichen mit Migrationshintergrund geknüpft ist. Verschiedene niedrig schwellige Angebote zur Förderung wechselseitiger Akzeptanz gewaltfreier Kommunikation der unterschiedlichen Minderheiten folgen der Ergebnisdarstellung. / This dissertation, about lifestyle-related problems in the Berlin district of “Schöneberger Norden,” addresses the conflict between two culturally very different groups within the neighbourhood. It concerns primarily the offences by mainly Arabic young men against homosexuals and homosexual initiatives in Schöneberger Norden. In the debate over cultural disintegration, the question arises how these different groups can manage to live together in peaceful coexistence, given their radically different attitudes towards sexual freedom. The theoretical context of this research is informed: by Simmel´s urban theory that an indifferent tolerance is the guarantor of peaceful coexistence among individuals with different lifestyles; and by the idea that lifestyles form moments of integration. The thesis relates three different case studies and shows that the peaceful coexistence in “Schöneberger Norden” is under threat for the above mentioned minorities. This assumption is tested and verified through the qualitative analysis of expert interviews. An evaluation of the interviews and of a group discussion with young Arabic men showed that the failure of the integration process was correlated to a strong common acceptance of the use of violence among socially disadvantaged youth with migration backgrounds. Various proposals to promote mutual acceptance among the minority groups through modes of non-violent communication conclude the presentation of the results.
