Während Au-pair offiziell als Kulturaustausch betrachtet wird, zeigt die Forschung, dass sich Au-pair in den letzten Jahren stark verändert hat: vor allem junge Frauen aus Osteuropa nutzen es als legale Einreisemöglichkeit; deutsche berufstätige Frauen, um die Versorgungsarbeiten an Dritte zu delegieren. Der Wandel von Au-pair wird dabei als paradigmatisch für eine zunehmende Feminisierung von Arbeit und Verantwortung verstanden, ausgelöst durch eine Reihe von Transformationsprozessen der ost- und westeuropäischen Gesellschaften. Sabine Hess zeigt hierdurch nicht nur eine Reorganisation von Arbeits- und Privatsphäre. Sie beobachtet auch die Entstehung feminisierter transnationaler Räume als kreative Reaktion auf die Lebensverhältnisse in Osteuropa und die Einwanderungspolitiken Westeuropas. Insofern verbindet die Autorin innovativ Transformations-, Migrations- und Hausarbeitsforschung unter einer transnationalen Perspektive.

Concerned with contemporary notions of personhood and the relationship between persons and places, this book, presents a detailed insight into the Vanua Lavan's engagement with modernity, and examines how they relate to the past, make sense of the present and anticipate the future. Marilyn Strathern's claim that the Melanesian person is a dividual by and large holds for the Vanua Lavan person. But Vanua Lavans have also been exposed to, and creatively engaged with, what can be summarised under the term ""Western individualism.""

Changes in Fatherhood How do structural changes in the welfare state, in gender relations and work affect concepts and realities of fatherhood? The authors analyse cultural images and representations of fatherhood, varieties of fatherhood in relation to social backgrounds, organisational infl uences, as well as the impact of political and legal interventions on confi gurations of fatherhood. With an interdisciplinary approach this book's contributions investigate the sometimes contradictory relationship between cultural representations and social practices of fatherhood. They contextualise diverse fatherhoods in various social backgrounds, ethnicities, ages and different national contexts. Refl ecting methodological challenges is crucial to the volume's approach: Which parameters are used to quantify change? Which links and interactions between cultural, individual, organizational and societal dimensions do exist regarding the development of new social confi gurations of fatherhood? How can the complex interaction between structural constraints and agency be analysed? Can certain agents of change be identifi ed? How can social change be conceptualized? This volume links to international comparative research and shows how fruitful it can be to break disciplinary boundaries. How do men react to new expectations to fatherhood? Why has the adaptation toequality in the home been so slow? What defines fatherhood? These are the basicquestions explored in this volume. We are taken through a journey on fatherhoodover 14 individual contributions representing a variety of scientific fields. Thevolume is divided into three sections: cultural, social, and institutional fatherhood. European Journal of Population 29/2013
