Hybrid Political Order and the Politics of Uncertainty Refugee Governance in Lebanon

Hybrid Political Order and the Politics of Uncertainty Refugee Governance in Lebanon

Lebanon hosts the highest number of refugees per capita worldwide and is central to European policies of outsourcing migration management. Hybrid Political Order and the Politics of Uncertainty is the first book to critically and comprehensively explore the parallels between the country’s engagement with the recent Syrian refugee influx and the more protracted Palestinian presence. Drawing on fieldwork qualitative case-studies and critical policy analysis it questions the dominant idea that the haphazardness inconsistency and fragmentation of refugee governance are only the result of forced displacement or host state fragility and the related capacity problems. It demonstrates that the endemic ambiguity that determines refugee governance also results from a lack of political will to create coherent and comprehensive rules of engagement to address refugee ‘crises. ’ Building on emerging literatures in the fields of critical refugee studies hybrid governance and ignorance studies it proposes an innovative conceptual framework to capture the spatial temporal and procedural dimensions of the uncertainty that refugees face and to tease out the strategic components of the reproduction and extension of such informality liminality and exceptionalism. In developing the notion of a ‘politics of uncertainty ’ ambiguity is explored as a component of a governmentality that enables the control exploitation and expulsion of refugees.

Mobility and Locative Media Mobile Communication in Hybrid Spaces

Mobility and Locative Media Mobile Communication in Hybrid Spaces

Mobilities has become an important framework to understand and analyze contemporary social spatial economic and political practices. Especially as mobile media become seamlessly integrated into transportation networks navigating urban spaces and connecting with social networks while on the move researchers need new approaches and methods to bring together mobilities with mobile communication and locative media. Mobile communication scholars have focused on cell phones often ignoring broader connections to urban spaces geography and locational media. As a result they emphasized virtual mobility and personalized communication as a way of disconnecting from place location and publics. The growing pervasiveness of location-aware technology urges us to rethink the intersection among location mobile technologies and mobility. Few studies have addressed the many transformations taking place in mobile sociality and in urban spatial processes through the appropriation of these technologies.

International-Led Statebuilding and Local Resistance Hybrid Institutional Reforms in Post-Conflict Kosovo

International-Led Statebuilding and Local Resistance Hybrid Institutional Reforms in Post-Conflict Kosovo

International-Led Statebuilding and Local Resistance contributes theoretical and empirical insights to the existing knowledge on the scope challenges and results of post-conflict international state- and institution-building project focusing on post-war Kosovo. Post-war Kosovo is one of the high-profile cases of international intervention hosting a series of international missions besides a massive inflow of international aid technical assistance and foreign experts. Theoretically the book goes beyond the standard narrative of international top-down institution building by exploring how international and local factors interact bringing in the mediating role of local resistance and highlighting the hybridity of institutional change. Empirically the book tests those alternative explanations in key areas of institutional reform – municipal governance public administration normalization of relations with Serbia high education creation of armed forces the security sector and the hold of Salafi ideologies. The findings speak to timely and pertinent issues regarding the limits of international promotion of effective institutions; the mediating role of local agents; and the hybrid forms of institution-building taking shape in post-conflict Kosovo and similar post-war contexts more broadly. Addressing challenges of state-building at the intersection of international interventions local strategies of resistance and the hybridity of institution-building experience with institutional reforms in Kosovo and in post-conflict contexts more broadly International-Led Statebuilding and Local Resistance will be of great interest to scholars of international relations state building and post-conflict societies.

Hip Heritage and Museum Practices in Contemporary Hybrid Markets

Hip Heritage and Museum Practices in Contemporary Hybrid Markets

Focusing on how museums prioritize and produce content Hip Heritage demonstrates how economic issues play an ever-larger role in determining how cultural heritage is being framed and presented in contemporary heritage museums. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork conducted by the authors at seven museums over the course of five years this book offers an in-depth analysis of heritage museums in Nordic Scandinavian and North American contexts. It investigates how economic realities coupled with the cultural contexts in which museums operate affect how these institutions organize manage and develop their collections to make themselves relevant in society. Once charged with the primary task of educating citizens about their cultural identity and history national museums and heritage organizations are also under pressure to rethink their market demands and meet stakeholders’ increasing interest in growing visitor numbers and expanding economic returns. Simultaneously many museums are part of a cultural sector with diminished public funding and increased competition for the existing financing. Against this background this book questions: ‘When the budget is tight whose heritage counts most?’ It considers museums as arenas for heritage politics in action on the local national and international levels as well as at the institutional level. Hip Heritage will appeal to scholars and students engaged in the study of ethnology heritage museum studies marketing leisure and tourism public folklore and sociology. | Hip Heritage and Museum Practices in Contemporary Hybrid Markets

Interactive Books Playful Media before Pop-Ups

Interactive Books Playful Media before Pop-Ups

Movable books are an innovative area of children’s publishing. Commonly equated with spectacular pop-ups movable books have a little-known history as interactive narrative media. Since they are hybrid artifacts consisting of words images and movable components they cross the borders between story toy and game. Interactive Books is a historical and comparative study of early movable books in relation to the children who engage with them. Jacqueline Reid-Walsh focuses on the period movable books became connected with children from the mid-17th to the early-19th centuries. In particular she examines turn-up books paper doll books and related hybrid experiments like toy theaters and paignion (or domestic play set) produced between 1650 and 1830. Despite being popular in their own time these artifacts are little known today. This study draws attention to a gap in our knowledge of children’s print culture by showing how these artifacts are important in their own right. Reid-Walsh combines archival research with children’s literature studies book history and juvenilia studies. By examining commercially produced and homemade examples she explores the interrelations among children interactive media and historical participatory culture. By drawing on both Enlightenment thinkers and contemporary digital media theorists Interactive Books enables us to think critically about children’s media texts paper and digital past and present. | Interactive Books Playful Media before Pop-Ups
