Die Polizei als Objekt kritischer Wissenschaft ist ein beliebter, aber keinesfalls einfacher Gegenstand für Forscher*innen. Der Zugang zum Feld, die Akzeptanz der Methoden und die Diskussion der Ergebnisse sind geprägt von Misstrauen und Skepsis. Gleichzeitig wird Wissenschaftler*innen eine zu große Nähe vorgeworfen, wenn sie selbst Teil der Polizei sind oder für Behörden arbeiten. Was also ist zu tun? Die Beiträger*innen nutzen Beispiele aus der Forschungspraxis, um über die empirische Arbeit in der Polizei als Beispiel für eher schwer zugängliche Institutionen zu berichten und zu reflektieren. Dabei geht es um häufige Missverständnisse, falsche Erwartungen und gelungene Annäherungen auf beiden Seiten.

An Open Access edition of this book will be available on the Liverpool University Press website and the OAPEN library.In a world increasingly defined by the transnational and translingual, and by the pressures of globalization, it has become difficult to study culture as primarily a national phenomenon. A Handbook offers students across Modern Languages an introduction to the kind of methodological questions they need to look at culture transnationally. Each of the short essays takes a key concept in cultural study and suggests how it might be used to explore and illuminate some aspect of identity, mobility, translation, and cultural exchange across borders. The authors range over different language areas and their wide chronological reach provides broad coverage, as well as a flexible and practical methodology for studying cultures in a transnational framework. The essays show that an inclusive, transnational vision and practice of Modern Languages is central to understanding human interaction in an inclusive, globalized society. A Handbook stands as an effective and necessary theoretical and thematically diverse glossary and companion to the 'national' volumes in the series.

How can contemporary dance contribute to a critical discourse on age and ageing? Built on the premise that age(ing) is something we practice and perform as individuals and as a society, Susanne Martin asks for and develops strategies that allow dance artists to do age(ing) differently. As a whole, this project is an artistic research inquiry, which draws on and contributes to dance practice. The study develops, discusses, and stages practices and performances of age(ing) that offer alternatives to stereotypical and normative age(ing) narratives, which are not only part of dance but also of everyday culture. »This text's age studies scholarship provides helpful frameworks for looking at dance.« Megan V. Nicely, The Drama Review, 62/3 (2018) Besprochen in: UP TO DANCE, 3 (2017) www.alter-in-deutschland.de, 6 (2017) The Drama Review, 62/3 (2018), Megan V. Nicely
