abstract = {
Emerging debates point to possible shortcomings in relation to Loïc Wacquant's elaboration of the concept of territorial stigmatisation. One of the most frequently raised issues relates to the assumption that residents of neighbourhoods or cities with negative reputations necessarily internalise the stigmatising discourses. Indeed, in a number of his writings, Wacquant formulates the thesis according to which certain neighbourhoods become vilified in increasingly polarising cities. This, he argues, contributes to the marginalisation of the residents of these areas. The process operates in much the same way that stigmatisation does in Erving Goffman’s now famous account, whereby it ‘spoils the identity’ of those who are forced to bear it. However, in his work Wacquant adopts Goffman's theory of stigmatisation without reference to the critiques that it has generated. This chapter highlights the ways in which this initial shortcoming has resulted in a theory that is defamatory, in that it ignores many highly relevant processes of identity building, moving beyond theoretical depictions of inescapable marginality and suffering. I argue that an integrative perspective on territorial stigmatisation, and respective discrimination (territory-ism), is more adequate in order to avoid the vilification of certain groups or the population of a number of neighbourhoods. On top of this, the chapter distinguishes category-based processes from individuating processes of stigmatisation and discrimination, which is particularly helpful in order to analyse the local dynamics of segregation or integration.

Children grow up to be teenagers and young adults and have to adapt to the devastating conditions created by the HIV and AIDS crisis. Based on theoretical concepts of risk and vulnerability and on qualitative empirical research, this article inquires into the relations between children and their guardians in Botswana. The research shows that families in Botswana have insufficient strategies to educate children about important issues concerning adolescence and HIV and AIDS. The results also indicate that children experience inter-generational conflicts, insecure livelihoods, and are torn between different explanations of HIV and AIDS. However, children are not simply victims; they are also able to cope actively.},

Man muss sie übernehmen, obwohl man weiß, dass man niemals alle Eventualitäten der Zukunft wird kontrollierten können. Vor dem Hintergrund dieser Unsicherheit bildet jede Person eine individuelle Persönlichkeit aus. Dabei bestimmt sie ein Verhältnis zum eigenen Selbst und zu anderen Menschen. Dieser Prozess lässt sich nur begrenzt steuern, doch lassen sich darin auch Möglichkeiten der menschlichen Handlungsfreiheit bestimmen. Da Persönlichkeiten zwingend individuell sind, sind Gemeinschaften notwendigerweise divers.
Sie charakterisieren sich wesentlich durch ihren Umgang mit ihren inneren Andersartigkeiten. Eine infinit diverse Gemeinschaft kann sich nicht über verbindliche Werte definieren, allenfalls in ihrer Art und Weise, wie sie um die Grenzen sozial akzeptablen Verhaltens ringt.
Für diese Perspektive ist eine Abkehr von identifizierendem hin zu einem vermittelnden Denken notwendig. Bewegt sich das Denken von »Identitäten« zu »Beziehungen«, dann bedeutet das für die Kritik, dass sie neben dem Imperativ der Reflexion über die eigene Positionalität auch die Notwendigkeit einer verantwortungsvollen Übernahme vermittelnder Überparteilichkeit innerhalb asymmetrischer gesellschaftlicher Beziehungsverhältnisse erkennt. Da Beziehungen immer konkret und situiert sind, reflektiert ein kritischer Personalismus nicht nur strukturelle kategorievermittelte Machtverhältnisse, sondern immer auch konkrete persönlichkeitsinduzierte (Re-) Produktionen sozialer Asymmetrien.

abstract = {Kritik als pure Opposition gegen die gesellschaftlichen Verhältnisse ist nicht automatisch emanzipatorisch. Wird abstrakte Gesellschaftskritik auf konkrete soziale Kontexte übertragen, dann ist nicht Dogmatismus sondern „Augenmaß“ gefragt, wie das Max Weber für berufsmäßig politische Tätigkeiten fordert. Im lokalen Kontext begegnen sich keine reinen soziologischen Identitäts-, Gruppen- oder Klassenkategorien sondern individuelle Persönlichkeiten, die jeweils einen eigenständigen Willen zur Verantwortung ausgebildet haben. Dieser ist den Akteuren weitgehend habitualsiert, wird weniger intellektuell reflektiert und ist somit kaum explizit bewusst. Im lokalisierten Kontext gilt es demnach, den Beteiligten die jeweils individuellen Werthaltungen gegenseitig mittels Mediation transparent zu machen. Die kritische Verantwortung liegt dabei darin, die sozialen Asymmetrien in den Beziehungen der Beteiligten aufzuzeigen, sowie auf ökologisch und ökonomisch nachhaltige Prozessgestaltung hinzuweisen. Kritik als Mediation ist eine lokalisierte Kritik und damit eine spezifisch geographische Kritik.
Die Büchenbacher Kirchweih ist eine typische traditionelle Veranstaltung, wie sie in vielen Dörfern stattfindet. Oft wird nach historischen Wurzeln des Brauchtums gefragt und untersucht, seit wann bestimmte Bräuche ausgeführt werden. Chroniken, Photographien, Beobachtungen und Zeitzeugen werden als Quellen herangezogen. Ferner kann man die Ereignisse persönlich besuchen und Beobachtungen oder auch teilnehmende Beobachtungen anstellen. In der Kulturwissenschaft bestand lange der Konsens, dass diese ganz unterschiedlichen Quellen als Texte verstanden werden können. Kultur wird demnach als ein System von Bedeutungen begriffen. Semiotische Theorien haben bei solchen Zugängen einen hohen Stellenwert. Es wird nach kulturellen Chiffren gesucht, die das traditionelle Erbe erkennbar machen und das Ziel derartiger Arbeiten ist es, eine schlüssige Interpretation der Geschehnisse zu geben. In diesem Artikel wird der Blick umgekehrt und gefragt, ob nicht im Unplanmäßigen und der daraus folgenden Unberechenbarkeit die identitätsstiftende Wirkung der traditionellen Aktivitäten zu suchen ist. Ein derartiger Perspektivenwechsel wird gerade unter dem Label „performative Turn“ erprobt. Diese Arbeit versucht raumbezogene Identität von der Empirie aus zu beleuchten, aus einer anwendungsorientierten Perspektive eine sozialwissenschaftliche Arbeitsdefinition von Performanz und Materialität zu entwickeln und diese gleichzeitig zu erproben.

Eine Fallstudie in Erlangen zeigt, wie bei den Planungen eines Quartiers im Röthelheimpark und der Rathenausiedlung bevorzugte Wohnlagen geschaffen werden, nicht zuletzt durch die Einrichtung benachteiligter Wohnlagen. Es entstehen Phänomene einer Mikrosegregation auf Quartiersebene, die über die gängigen Methoden statistischer Messung kaum noch

The pragmatist concept of praxis involves more than conventionalised practices. It also regards performative dynamics which derive from the fact that practices actually never are enacted in an exemplary manner. Each and every execution of a practice always bears the chance of success but also the risk of failure. Furthermore, the execution of a practice can be fractured in many ways. As situations are always unique, a variety of different dynamics can evolve, each of which might lead to further events which in turn might even result in an alteration of the convention of the practice. Due to such performative dynamics, individuals might experience diverse qualities of emotions, insights, and practical skills that are not inherent to the practices. Those individuals who are engaged in practices thus develop not only an understanding of conventionalised practices (unversalities) but also personal attitudes towards and opinions about these practices (singularities). The example of medical practices in Botswana can function as a role model to illustrate this notion of praxis. A juxtaposition of modern and traditional medicine shows that analysing the way how such fields of practice are epistemologically founded helps us to understand why they are incommensurable.},

the household are in fact made use of. Neither of these assumptions can be taken as
indisputably given. The economic cooperation of individuals is strongly shaped by
cultural values, although these values often dissolve in the face of growing individualism.
Further factors of societal transformation make traditional economic activities
appear unprofitable or unattractive, with no successfully proven alternatives having
been handed down. Individuals react in varying ways to the factors that influence
these transformations. A wide range of attitudes to life has emerged, which often lead
to the disintegration of traditional household structures. Most geographical research

Defining a disaster is a cultural act: naming a disaster first starts with recognising societal conditions that are evaluated to be disastrous. Plainly, this can only be done in reference to values and norms. In a second stage, conditions tagged as disastrous become traced to either a hazardous event or to social circumstances and dealings that have reduced people’s resilience, rendered them vulnerable, or hampered their appropriate response to threats. It is thus intelligible that in different cultures, depending on particular perceptions and values, disasters can be substantially different things. Disaster definitions, for example, are created by organisations, institutions or individuals with regard to their own practical assignments. But, then, how can ‘a culture’ be identified, a situation be narrowed down to a ‘disaster’, and appropriate disaster risk reduction (DRR) measures be initiated?

If space is always perceived in three dimensions and does not have a substance, why not consider social topics in the the same way and see whether this produces informative and new insights ? The notion of Euclidean space as a dimensional system of ordering is an elementary concept in social sciences. This article gives two examples of how this concept could be employed in a non-positivistic and non-essentialist way with regard to social topics. Euclidean space is thereby not only seen as the metric space of mathematics but is also founded in the human cognition of space. The strength of this concept is that it reflects a basic experience and is thus very tangible and comprehensible. It is largely internalised by every individual and can thus evoke conclusive explanations when deliberately used. The first empirical example assesses day-to-day practices of consumption and is a critique of consumer style research. The second is an example about HIV-related stigma and discrimination ; it explains how the suggested perspective can be helpful in analysing social segregation and categorisation of marginalised people.

abstract = {While scientists protest publicly against right-wing populists bending
truths as if it were a self-evident public concern, humanists and social
scientists are remarkably quiet. This is not surprising given the
ascendancy of post-structural arguments about the politics of knowledge
and the social construction of truth. This chapter explores the
conundrum facing social scientists and argues that pragmatism can
provide resources for finding a way forward. By formulating specific
criteria by means of which theories and truths can be compared and
evaluated, pragmatist epistemology positions the academic as a social
advisor or mediator. Moreover, on the basis of pragmatic democratic
theory, it can be argued that people, even if they take agonistic
positions, are nevertheless capable of agreeing on productive ideas for
the future. In this spirit, academic criticism should be understood not
only as opposition but also as meditation. Rather than just opposing
dominant thinking, it suggests that the academic has a duty to engage in
a more positive vein, contributing to the decisions that are taken by
mediatingbetween different positions and points of vie},

abstract = {Dieser Beitrag identifiziert den Mehrwert praxeologischer Ansätze für
die Geographie. Er skizziert zentrale Perspektiven und Theorieansätze
der praxeologischen Debatte, wie sie sich in den Kultur- und
Sozialwissenschaften etabliert haben. Darüber hinaus diskutiert der
Beitrag grundlegende Impulse und Perspektiven einer weitergreifenden
Philosophie der Praxis und leitet daraus analytische,
erkenntnistheoretische sowie wissenschafts- und gesellschaftspolitische
Implikationen ab. Anhand einiger Beispiele werden wir zeigen, wie
verschiedene Theorien in geographischen Arbeiten aufgegriffen wurden.
Zusammenfassend werden wir Möglichkeiten einer praxeologisch
inspirierten Neufassung »traditioneller« geographischer Orientierungen
wie Empirienähe, Planungsaffinität und Regionalkompetenz diskutieren.
Auch zeigt dieser Beitrag, dass sich mit einer praxistheoretischen
Perspektive nicht nur die Forderung nach einer kritischen
gesellschaftspolitischen Haltung erfüllen lässt, sondern dass sich
unterschiedliche Auffassungen von Kritik aus verschiedenen
praxeologischen Zugängen hinsichtlich des Verhältnisses von Theorie und
Praxis ergeben. Dementsprechend bietet dieser Beitrag auch eine
detaillierte Diskussion der Frage, wie verschiedene kritische
Theorieansätze ihren Bezug zur Praxis formuliere},

abstract = {Poststructuralist theory focuses largely on describing
how and why subjects reproduce the social conditions they have internalised.
This is a deconstruction of the central idea of the Enlightenment, the human
capacity for autonomous action. At the same time, however, it also denies all
individuals any responsibility and ultimately leads criticism into a crisis.
Pragmatist philosophy offers the possibility of determining the role of the
mind in processes of becoming a subject without abandoning the achievements of
the poststructuralist concept of subjectification. The concept of transaction
describes how actors constitute each other as subjects within social
situations. The relationships that arise through such processes depend, among
other things, on the personalities of those people involved. Accordingly, it is
possible to identify the responsibility of individuals to govern their social
relations and personality development. Since these aspects can only be
determined in localised individual cases, this offers a particularly suitable
starting point for geographical criti},

abstract = {The World Health Organization (WHO) supports integrating traditional health care into national health systems. The reasons why this is not happening in Botswana are manifold, complex and not always rational. Traditional healers demand the right to practice their techniques and organize themselves with an emancipatory political claim, but they are unsuccessful. Based on a political ecology of health perspective combined with assemblage thinking, this article explores discourses and historical lines of development in order to show how Christian morality, the dualism between tradition and modernity and the introduction of a modern public health system are intertwined with belief in witchcraft that clandestinely hampers development.
