Abstract

Mehrgenerationenfamilien sind für alle Familienmitglieder ein bildungsbiographischer Möglichkeitsraum, in dem im Rahmen ihres gemeinsamen alltäglichen Tuns Bildung stattfindet. Die damit verbundene grundlegende Bildungsbedeutsamkeit der Familie ist bisher empirisch kaum untersucht worden. In diesem Band werden die Ergebnisse des Marburger Mehrgenerationenprojekts vorgestellt, dessen Ziel es war, die milieuspezifischen Nutzungsmuster der bildungs- und kulturbezogenen Ressourcen und Handlungspotenziale am Bildungsort Familie genauer zu untersuchen. In Anlehnung an die Arbeiten von Pierre Bourdieu und dessen Analysekategorien werden auf der Grundlage von ausführlichen Fallanalysen die Strategien der Weitergabe und Aneignung von Bildung und Kultur in der Großeltern-, Eltern- und Enkelgeneration empirisch herausgearbeitet. Dabei spielen die vielfältigen, weit über die Familie hinausreichenden sozialen Anerkennungsarenen eine wichtige Rolle.

Abstract

In 1964 the Senate Committee on Aging reported that ""once admitted to an institution ... the veteran begins ... to show signs of social and physical degeneration,"" a phenomenon that has not escapted the attention of clinicians, social scientists, veterans, and other chronic-care patients. Assuming that social withdrawal in the institutional setting was avoidable ad that a strictly medical model of chronic care was inappropriate, Lella and his collaborators established a patient-government project designed to give thirty elderly men in a large veterans' hospital, who suffered fro

Abstract

The institution of consanguineous marriage-a marriage contracted between close biological relatives-has been a basic building block of many societies in different parts of the world. This paper argues that the practice of consanguinity is closely related to the practice of dowry, and that both arise in response to an agency problem between the families of a bride and a groom. When marriage contracts are incomplete, dowries transfer control rights to the party with the highest incentives to invest in a marriage. When these transactions are costly however, consanguinity can be a more appropriate response since it directly reduces the agency cost. The paper's model predicts that dowry transfers are less likely to be observed in consanguineous unions. It also emphasizes the effect of credit constraints on the relative prevalence of dowry payment and consanguinity. An empirical analysis using data from Bangladesh delivers robust results consistent with the predictions of the model.
