Abstract

What happens when a corporate subsidiary or network company is unable to pay personal injury victims in full? This book sets out to tackle the 'insolvent entity problem', especially as it arises in cases of mass wrongdoing such as those involving asbestos exposure and defective pharmaceuticals. After discussing the nature of corporate groups and networks from the perspectives of business history, organisation studies, and social theory, the book assesses a range of rules and proposed rules for extending liability for personal injuries beyond insolvent entities. New proposals are put for an exception to the rule of limited liability and for the development of a flexible new tort based on conspiracy that encompasses not only control-based relationships but also horizontal coordination between companies. The book concludes with a general discussion of lessons learned from debates about extended liability and provides guidelines for the development of new liability rules.

Abstract

Die stereotype Stigmatisierung des Kopftuchs ist eine Praxis des antimuslimischen Rassismus! Auf der Basis qualitativer Interviewdaten legt Florian Kreutzer alltägliche Praktiken rassistischer Diskriminierung, des Doing Race and Racial Othering offen - und ebenso die Praktiken und Möglichkeiten des Undoing Race, des Durchkreuzens, Unterlaufens, Überwindens und Ungeschehen-Machens der rassistischen Produktion von Andersheit. Die Erzählungen verschleierter Frauen machen deutlich, dass sie sich in ihrer Art und Weise, Familie und Beruf zu vereinbaren, nicht wesentlich von anderen Frauen unterscheiden. Die rassistische Produktion von Andersheit wird so als eine soziale Praxis und strukturelle Dimension moderner Gesellschaften erkennbar. Unter Mitarbeit von Sümeyye Demir. »Insbesondere angesichts der Debatten um Integration und Flüchtlingskrise ist dieses Buch unbedingt empfehlenswert.« Elisabeth Mantl, http://www.elisabeth-mantl.de, 12 (2015) »Man kann diesem Buch nur eine breite Leserschaft wünschen.« Dirk Pilz, Frankfurter Rundschau, 10.06.2015 Besprochen in: IDA-NRW, 21/2 (2015) www.frauensolidaritaet.org VKRG inform, 4 (2015) Portal für Politikwissenschaft, 04.02.2016, Wolfgang Denzler

Abstract

This groundbreaking volume, written entirely by women, examines the vastly misunderstood and multilayered world of the veil. Veiling- of women, of men, and of sacred places and objects-has existed in countless cultures and religions from time immemorial. Today, veiling is a globally polarizing issue, a locus for the struggle between Islam and the West and between contemporary and traditional interpretations of Islam. But veiling was a practice long before Islam and still extends far beyond the Middle East. This book explores and examines the cultures, politics, and histories of veiling. Twenty-one gifted writers and scholars, representing a wide range of societies, religions, ages, locations, races, and accomplishments, here elucidate, challenge, and/or praise the practice. Expertly organized and introduced by Jennifer Heath, who also writes on male veiling, the essays are arranged in three parts: the veil as an expression of the sacred; the veil as it relates to the emotional and the sensual; and the veil in its sociopolitical aspects. This unique, dynamic, and insightful volume is illustrated throughout. It brings together a multiplicity of thought and experience, much of it personal, to make readily accessible a difficult and controversial subject.

Abstract

In this 2006 text, Daniel M. Gurtner examines the meaning of the rending of the veil at the death of Jesus in Matthew 27:51a by considering the functions of the veil in the Old Testament and its symbolism in Second Temple and Rabbinic Judaism. Gurtner incorporates these elements into a compositional exegesis of the rending text in Matthew. He concludes that the rending of the veil is an apocalyptic assertion like the opening of heaven revealing, in part, end-time images drawn from Ezekiel 37. Moreover, when the veil is torn Matthew depicts the cessation of its function, articulating the atoning role of Christ's death which gives access to God not simply in the sense of entering the Holy of Holies (as in Hebrews), but in trademark Matthean Emmanuel Christology: 'God with us'. This underscores the significance of Jesus' atoning death in the first gospel.

Abstract

The headscarf is an increasingly contentious symbol in countries across the world. Those who don the headscarf in Germany are referred to as ""integration-refusers."" In Turkey, support by and for headscarf-wearing women allowed a religious party to gain political power in a strictly secular state. A niqab-wearing Muslim woman was denied French citizenship for not conforming to national values. And in the Netherlands, Muslim women responded to the hatred of popular ultra-right politicians with public appeals that mixed headscarves with in-your-face humor. In a surprising way, the headscarf-a g

Abstract

De hoofddoek heeft nog veel meer betekenissen dan enkel de religieuze connotatie die nu het westerse hoofddoekendebat beheerst. De auteur toont in dit boek aan dat de hoofddoek en het haar complexe en veelzijdige symbolen zijn. Zij plaatst de betekenisveranderingen van hoofddoek en haar in een historisch en intercultureel perspectief, waarbij de seksuele betekenis één van de mogelijkheden is.

Abstract

An essential aspect of what is now called the Islamic Revival, the cassette sermon can be heard in most Middle Eastern cities, punctuating the daily routines of many men and women. Charles Hirschkind shows how these tapes provide the means by which Islamic ethical traditions recalibrate to a modern political and technological order& mdash;to its noise and forms of pleasure and boredom, but also to its political incitements and call for citizen participation. Focusing on Cairo's popular neighborhoods, Hirschkind highlights the pivotal role sermon tapes now play in an expanding arena of Islamic

Abstract

Homa Hoodfar's richly detailed ethnography provides a rare glimpse into the daily life of Arab Muslim families. Focusing on the impact of economic liberalization policies from 1983 to 1993, she shows the crucial role of the household in survival strategies among low-income Egyptians. Hoodfar, an Iranian Muslim by birth, presents research that undermines many of the stereotypes associated with traditional Muslim women. Their apparent conservatism, she says, is based on rational calculation of the costs and benefits of working within formal and informal labor markets to secure household power. She posits that increasing adherence to Islam and taking up the veil on the part of women has been partially motivated by women's desire to protect and promote their interests both within and beyond households.
