Für die Opfer zahlreicher Kriege alleine im 20. Jahrhundert ist die Thematik "Konflikt - Trauma - Neubeginn" von schrecklicher Kontinuität. Angesichts der Terrorangriffe auf das World Trade Center und das Pentagon hat das Thema eine weitere Bedeutung und Brisanz gewonnen. An vielen Orten der Welt schwelen Konflikte, die erst dann wahrgenommen werden, wenn es zu spät ist. Gesellschaftlicher Zusammenhalt steht allzu oft auf gefährlich dünnem Eis, das jederzeit einzubrechen droht. Der vorliegende Band widmet sich unter dieser Perspektive terroristischen Bedrohungen, Kriegen und Völkermord in ihrer historischen Dimension und aktuellen Problematik. Ein breites Spektrum an Expertinnen und Experten aus der Politik, Geschichtswissenschaft, Philosophie und institutionellen Praxis, aber auch Zeitzeugen und Opfer von Gewalttaten kommen in diesem Heft der Problemkreise der Angewandten Kulturwissenschaft zu Wort.

This open access book provides a valuable restatement of the current law of armed conflict regarding hostilities in a diverse range of contexts: outer space, cyber operations, remote and autonomous weapons, undersea systems and devices, submarine cables, civilians participating in unmanned operations, military objectives by nature, civilian airliners, destruction of property, surrender, search and rescue, humanitarian assistance, cultural property, the natural environment, and more. The book was prepared by a group of experts after consultation with a number of key governments. It is intended to offer guidance for practitioners (mainly commanding officers); facilitate training at military colleges; and inform both instructors and graduate students of international law on the current state of the law.

En este texto las víctimas, mujeres campesinas desplazadas a la ciudad, despojadas y desterradas del Municipio de San Francisco, se convierten en protagonistas de una historia presente, desconocida, que se construye a partir de los relatos sobre las experiencias vividas, sobre las realidades sentidas y los dolores padecidos, pero también sobre el trabajo colectivo desde la Asociación Caminos de Esperanza Madres de la Candelaria y el fortalecimiento conjunto para generar otras perspectivas de vida. Es la voz de las mismas mujeres la que evidencia nuevas maneras de agenciarse como madres, esposas y mujeres campesinas en la ciudad, que van a hacer de las víctimas seres potentes y capaces, desvirtuando la desvalorización y la invalidez atribuida por los discursos mediáticos.

This book is the product of a collaborative effort involving partners from Africa, Asia, Europe and Latin America who were funded by the International Development Research Centre Programme on Women and Migration (2006-2011). The International Institute of Social Studies at Erasmus University Rotterdam spearheaded a project intended to distill and refine the research findings, connecting them to broader literatures and interdisciplinary themes. The book examines commonalities and differences in the operation of various structures of power (gender, class, race/ethnicity, generation) and their interactions within the institutional domains of intra-national and especially inter-national migration that produce context-specific forms of social injustice. Additional contributions have been included so as to cover issues of legal liminality and how the social construction of not only femininity but also masculinity affects all migrants and all women. The resulting set of 19 detailed, interconnected case studies makes a valuable contribution to reorienting our perceptions and values in the discussions and decision-making concerning migration, and to raising awareness of key issues in migrants’ rights.  All chapters were anonymously peer-reviewed. This book resulted from a series of projects funded by the International Development Research Centre (IDRC), Canada.
