What are the constitutive elements of different forms of social relationships? What practices of inclusion and exclusion come into play in the formation and preservation of groups?This volume does not only focus on practices and semantics of belonging but also takes a closer look at how communities and individual bonds are constantly re-negotiated and disrupted. The chapters discuss how communities come into being, what sustains them and gives them coherence, how they negotiate identities and how they deal with conflicts and challenges to their underlying structures and modes of self-representation.
English summary: What are the constitutive elements of different forms of social relationships? This volume includes contributions from a range of academic disciplines and case studies drawn from different cultures, time periods and geographical spaces. It does not only focus on practices and semantics of belonging but also takes a closer look at how communities and individual bonds are constantly re-negotiated and disrupted. The chapters discuss how communities come into being, what gives them coherence, how they deal with conflicts and challenges to their underlying structures and modes of self-representation. German description: Was sind die konstitutiven Elemente verschiedener Formen sozialer Nahbeziehungen? Welche Rolle spielen Praktiken der Inklusion und Exklusion bei der Formierung, Aushandlung und Aufrechterhaltung von Gruppen? Wie werden Vertrauens- und Loyalitatsbindungen geschaffen und bewahrt? Wie gehen Gemeinschaften mit Konflikten um? Dieser Band hat das Ziel, den Fokus von dyadischen Nahbeziehungen hin zu Gemeinschaften und Gruppen zu verlagern. Er beinhaltet interdisziplinare Beitrage und Fallstudien zu unterschiedlichen kulturellen, historischen und geographischen Kontexten. Die Beitrage konzentrieren sich nicht nur auf Praktiken und Semantiken von Zugehorigkeit, sondern nehmen auch Prozesse der Auflosung und Neuverhandlung in den Blick. Die einzelnen Texte diskutieren, wie Gemeinschaften entstehen, was sie aufrechterhalt und ihnen Koharenz verleiht, wie sie Identitaten aushandeln und wie sie mit Konflikten umgehen und Bedrohungen ihres geteilten Selbstverstandnisses begegnen.
