Abstract

Tropische Pflanzen und selbst eine Sambaschule sind nach ihr benannt: Leopoldine von Habsburg, Aufklärerin in neoabsolutistischen Zeiten, gilt als eine der bedeutendsten und einflussreichsten Frauen des Landes. Sie war leidenschaftliche Naturforscherin, setzte sich gegen Sklaverei und Armut ein und stellte das Hofzeremoniell ordentlich auf den Kopf. Leopoldine war ihrem Mann Dom Pedro intellektuell weit überlegen – trotzdem ist ihre Biografie auch eine Geschichte der Unterdrückung und Gewalt durch einen machistischen Monarchen, der mit ihren vielfältigen Fähigkeiten nicht zurechtkam. Letztendlich trieb er sie mit nur 29 Jahren in einen frühen Tod. Für die Feiern »200 Jahre Unabhängigkeit Brasiliens« im Sommer 2022 wird die beliebte Habsburgerin endlich wieder ins Zentrum der Aufmerksamkeit gerückt, war sie es doch, die das Papier zur Souveränität Brasiliens unterschrieben hat.

Abstract

“Populism” is a fuzzy term. It neither identifies a specific political program nor does it clearly situate political positions along a left-to-right spectrum. Instead, it refers to a strategy of communication and a style of political performance. This volume sheds light on the resurgence of populism in the United States, Europe, and Latin America. Contemporary populisms need to be understood in their cultural and political specificities as well as in their global interrelation and outreach. They often share an authoritarianism along with anti-establishment resentments while posing as expressing the ‘voice of the people.’ Real or imagined scenarios of threat are met with a rhetoric of emancipation from victimization, yet this emancipatory zeal is couched in a rhetoric of exclusion and, even, nativism. Frank Decker, Akwugo Emejulu, D.S. Hillygus, Michael Hochgeschwender, Donatella Izzo, Carlos de la Torre, and Hans Vorländer (et al.) examine populism’s simplifications and mystifications.

Abstract

This book provides an outline for a multidisciplinary research agenda into urban ethics and offers insights into the various ways urban ethics can be configured. It explores practices and discourses through which individuals, collectives and institutions determine which developments and projects may be favourable for dwellers and visitors traversing cities. Urban Ethics as Research Agenda widens the lens to include other actors apart from powerful individuals or institutions, paying special attention to activists or civil society organizations that express concerns about collective life. The chapters provide fresh perspectives addressing the various scales that converge in the urban. The uniqueness of each city is, thus, enriched with global patterns of the urban. Local sociocultural characteristics coexist with global flows of ideas, goods and people. The focus on urban ethics sheds light on emerging spaces of human development and the ways in which ethical narratives are used to mobilize and contest them in terms of the good life. This timely book analyses urban ethical negotiations from social and cultural studies, particularly drawing on anthropology, geography and history. This volume will be of interest to scholars, researchers and practitioners interested in ethics and urban studies.

Abstract

El tema central de este libro es la presencia del centro y del este de Europa en América Latina, un campo poco estudiado. A lo largo de más de los cien años que abarcan los artículos, entre el siglo XIX y las primeras décadas del XX, hubo súbditos del Imperio Habsburgo y posteriormente de la Monarquía Dual austrohúngara, que visitaron, vivieron o inclusive se establecieron definitivamente en América Latina.
