Dieses Open-Access-Buch befasst sich mit der diskursiven Konstruktion von ‚deutscher Nation‘, wie sie sich in öffentlichen Debatten um nationalen Ein- und Ausschluss offenbart. Staatsangehörigkeit und Einbürgerung sind zentrale Instrumente dieser sozialen Schließung. Anhand der widerstreitenden Diskurse um die Hamburger Einbürgerungsinitiative lässt sich exemplarisch ermitteln, welche diskursiven Grundbegriffe das deutsche Selbstverständnis anleiten. Zu diesem Zweck vereint die Autorin unterschiedliche diskursanalytische Traditionen mit Methoden der klassischen Ethnographie zu einem Ansatz der Diskursethnologie. Die Analyse zeigt, dass die öffentliche Debatte zwischen einem staatsnationalen und einem ethnonationalen Pol oszilliert. Beide nehmen ihren Ausgangspunkt in der unterschiedlichen Ausformulierung ihrer gemeinsamen Grundbegriffe. Diese Polysemie führt dazu, dass sich in der öffentlichen Arena antagonistische Wirklichkeitssphären gegenüberstehen, die mit Hilfe emotionalisierter Identitätsangebote Macht auf ihre Adressat*innen ausüben. Die Autorin Satu Fischer-Kongtso ist Ethnologin und als Trainerin für Interkulturalität und Antirassismus im Feld Angewandte Ethnologie tätig. Sowohl im Rahmen ihrer Promotion an der Universität Hamburg als auch im Kontext ihrer praktischen Tätigkeit als Trainerin befasst sie sich mit der komplexen Interrelation von Kultur, Identität und Macht sowie mit deren Konstitution in (u.a. nationalistischen) Diskursen. .

“This book is a pioneering attempt to systematically and concretely analyze diverse knowledge actors, focusing on a typology of their modalities of knowledge interaction. Highly recommended for researchers, policy makers, and practitioners interested in shaping the future of knowledge partnerships.” ---Izumi Ohno, Professor, National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies (GRIPS), Japan "The authors in this timely and very accessible book, leaning on a wealth of experiences across the world, expose the diverse modalities of knowledge production and exchange which already occur and probably should occur in the realm of interactions we call 'development'. They emphasize the need for co-production of knowledge, while wisely refraining from replacing one form of modernism by new high-modernist state building projects and their models of knowledge for development." ---Kristof Van Assche, Professor Planning, Governance & Development, Universityof Alberta, Canada In this open access book, we provide evidence to support the conceptual discussion of what constitutes “modalities of knowledge interaction” and suggest an analytical framework for effective knowledge cooperation. In practice, knowledge cooperation is realised through different modalities that serve as a toolbox to co-create, share and communicate knowledge among actors. Effective knowledge cooperation is crucial to addressing global challenges. It is increasingly attracting attention due to the rise of South–South Cooperation, to which it is central. Our empirical cases (Germany, India, Republic of Korea and Rwanda) comprise South-South cooperation and traditional development cooperation actors.

Die Arbeit von Entwicklungsexperten beinhaltet die Moderation gesellschaftspolitischer und ökonomischer Transformationsprozesse - ohne echtes Mandat, Rückversicherung und Erzwingungsinstanzen. In Umkehrung der traditionellen Entwicklungsperspektive werden die Projektexperten zu einem Stamm der Experten, der die Defizite der eigenen Agentur und die Komplexität der Verhältnisse im Einsatzland durch eine Fülle informeller Praktiken, durch interpersonelle Netzwerke und klientelistisch organisierte Klane kompensiert. Hinter dem Gegensatz zwischen Experten- und lokalem Wissen - dem vermeintlichen Kampf der Kulturen - verbirgt sich ein Mangel an rechtssicheren Verfahren zur zivilen und produktiven Aushandlung von Heterogenität. »Die Analyse von Hüsken stellt zweifellos eine äußerst interessante Studie dar, die aus der Innenansicht die Dynamik von Entwicklungsprojekten zeigt.« Martina Neuburger, ERDKUNDE, 64/3 (2010) Besprochen in: eins, 20 (2006), Heike Drotbohm Sociologus, 56/2 (2006), Michael Schönhuth

"Cultural Science introduces a new way of thinking about culture. Adopting an evolutionary and systems approach, the authors argue that culture is the population-wide source of newness and innovation; it faces the future, not the past. Its chief characteristic is the formation of groups or 'demes' (organised and productive subpopulation; 'demos'). Demes are the means for creating, distributing and growing knowledge. However, such groups are competitive and knowledge-systems are adversarial. Starting from a rereading of Darwinian evolutionary theory, the book utilises multidisciplinary resources: Raymond Williams's 'culture is ordinary' approach; evolutionary science (e.g. Mark Pagel and Herbert Gintis); semiotics (Yuri Lotman); and economic theory (from Schumpeter to McCloskey). Successive chapters argue that: -Culture and knowledge need to be understood from an externalist ('linked brains') perspective, rather than through the lens of individual behaviour; -Demes are created by culture, especially storytelling, which in turn constitutes both politics and economics; -The clash of systems - including demes - is productive of newness, meaningfulness and successful reproduction of culture; -Contemporary urban culture and citizenship can best be explained by investigating how culture is used, and how newness and innovation emerge from unstable and contested boundaries between different meaning systems; -The evolution of culture is a process of technologically enabled 'demic concentration' of knowledge, across overlapping meaning-systems or semiospheres; a process where the number of demes accessible to any individual has increased at an accelerating rate, resulting in new problems of scale and coordination for cultural science to address"--
