Content: The resettlement of refugees in host communities increases (perceived) competition for scarce economic and non-economic resources, which can contribute to tensions between the communities. This study tests the impact of a TVET program in Jordan and Lebanon that aims to tackle stresses associated with competition, particularly in the labor market. The authors test the impact of the program on economic outcomes, economic and life optimism, experience and perception of economic competition and ingroup-outgroup discrimination using a range of survey measures and behavioral experiments. They also conduct heterogeneity analyses to assess whether the intervention affects host and refugee communities similarly. The authors show that by the end of the training, the program has not yet achieved its employment aims for either hosts or refugees. However, for refugees, there are significant improvements in optimism and decreases in the experience of short-term economic stress. There are also improvements in inter-group behavior for refugees. These results provide insights on how to better tailor labor market programs to host and refugees while being conflict sensitive

Content: Schon als Sechsundzwanzigjähriger, bei seinem ersten Besuch, schwärmt Wolfe für die Heimat von Dürer, Goethe und Beethoven. Als er wiederkommt, steht er staunend vor den Schaufenstern deutscher Buchhandlungen, pilgert durch deutsche Museen und Bierkeller. Er besingt die Schönheit des Rheins, lässt sich bezaubern von den Altstadtidyllen Frankfurts und Nürnbergs, vom märchenhaften Schwarzwald, vor allem aber von der gastfreundlichen Aufnahme durch ein Kulturvolk, das sich seine Herzlichkeit und seinen liebenswerten Eigensinn bewahrt zu haben scheint. Keineswegs blind für bedenkliche Zeitsymptome, überwiegen doch die positiven Eindrücke bei Weitem. Nicht einmal eine blutige Wiesn-Schlägerei heilt den amerikanischen Dauergast von seiner akuten Germanophilie. Mitte der 1930er kehrt Wolfe als Weltberühmtheit in das Land seiner Vorväter zurück, wo man den Autor von ?Schau heimwärts, Engel? euphorisch feiert. Er wird Zeuge des nationalsozialistischen Massenwahns und der Selbstinszenierungsorgie des ?Dark Messiah? (wie er Hitler nennt) während der Olympischen Spiele 1936. Was Thomas Wolfe lange nicht wahrhaben wollte, wird ihm nun schlagartig klar: ?Good old Germany?, die Heimstatt von Humanität und unbedingtem Freiheitsstreben, gibt es nicht mehr. Und so endet die Liebe zu Deutschland, seiner zweiten Heimat, mit der schmerzlichen Abkehr und dem Abschied für immer. Mit 8 Originalseiten aus den Notizbüchern des Autors und 20 historischen Fotos

Series Statement: History, Philosophy and Theory of the Life Sciences

Content: This Open Access book combines philosophical and historical analysis of various forms of alternatives to mechanism and mechanistic explanation, focusing on the 19th century to the present. It addresses vitalism, organicism and responses to materialism and its relevance to current biological science. In doing so, it promotes dialogue and discussion about the historical and philosophical importance of vitalism and other non-mechanistic conceptions of life. It points towards the integration of genomic science into the broader history of biology. It details a broad engagement with a variety of nineteenth, twentieth and twenty-first century vitalisms and conceptions of life. In addition, it discusses important threads in the history of concepts in the United States and Europe, including charting new reception histories in eastern and south-eastern Europe. While vitalism, organicism and similar epistemologies are often the concern of specialists in the history and philosophy of biology and of historians of ideas, the range of the contributions as well as the geographical and temporal scope of the volume allows for it to appeal to the historian of science and the historian of biology generally

Content: Internationally recognised scholars explore central themes and questions in Roberto Esposito’s thoughtHelps scholars and readers of Esposito’s work to understand the rich background that gives rise to and situates his bio-political worksIncludes an important new essay by Roberto Esposito himself that highlights the object of the his current philosophical focus: the outside of human thoughtProvides a rich critical assessment of Esposito’s philosophical corpus, ultimately extending the philosophical debates launched by his workGathers leading international experts including Timothy Campbell, Olga Zorzi Pugliese and Gary Genosko This collection invites readers to reposition Esposito’s thought and explore the interdisciplinarity and unique methodology of his whole corpus. It addresses Esposito’s long-standing engagement with early modern philosophy, philosophy of biology, biopolitics, and the impolitical and the impersonal, together with his significant dialogues with contemporary philosophers like Gilles Deleuze, Jacques Derrida, Simone Weil, Jean-Luc Nancy and Maurice Blanchot. A new essay by Esposito himself reveals the importance of philosophical sources and ideas that condition his thinking, especially outside and beyond the dominant biopolitical interpretative framework that has come to mark his reception in the English-speaking world

Content: Frontmatter -- Contents -- 1 Shibboleth Inheritance -- 2 שיבולת Judges -- 3 S(h)ibboleth Sovereign Violence And The Remainder -- 4 Schibboleth Derrida -- 5 Schibboleth Celan -- 6 “S(ch)ibboleth” Apostrophe -- 7 S(c)hibboleth Babel -- 8 Shibboleth Salcedo -- Acknowledgments -- Notes -- Index

Content: Working from the Bible to contemporary art, Shibboleth surveys the linguistic performances behind the politics of border crossings and the policing of identities.In the Book of Judges, the Gileadites use the word shibboleth to target and kill members of a closely related tribe, the Ephraimites, who cannot pronounce the initial shin phoneme. In modern European languages, shibboleth has come to mean a hard-to-falsify sign that winnows identities and establishes and confirms borders. It has also acquired the ancillary meanings of slogan or cliché. The semantic field of shibboleth thus seems keyed to the waning of the logos in an era of technical reproducibility—to the proliferation of technologies and practices of encryption, decryption, exclusion and inclusion that saturate modern life. The various phenomena we sum up as neoliberalism and globalization are unimaginable in the absence of shibboleth-technologies.In the context of an unending refugee crisis and a general displacement, monitoring and quarantining of populations within a global regime of technics, Paul Celan’s subtle yet fierce reorientation of shibboleth merits scrupulous reading. This book interprets the episode in Judges together with Celan’s poems and Jacques Derrida’s reading of them, as well as passages from William Faulkner’s Absalom! Absalom! and Doris Salcedo’s 2007 installation Shibboleth at the Tate Modern. Redfield pursues the track of shibboleth: a word to which no language can properly lay claim—a word that is both less and more than a word, that signifies both the epitome and the ruin of border control technology, and that thus, despite its violent role in the Biblical story, offers a locus of poetico-political affirmation

Content: Ce livre étudie, à travers une série d’épisodes allant de la philosophie des Lumières à notre époque, le problème du matérialisme dans l’histoire de la philosophie et l’histoire des sciences. Comment comprendre les spécificités de l’histoire du matérialisme, des Lumières à nos jours, au sein de la grande histoire de la philosophie et de l’histoire des sciences ? Quelle est l’actualité de l’opposition classique entre le corps et l’esprit ? Qu’est-ce que le rire ou le rêve peuvent nous apprendre du matérialisme ? En traversant l’histoire du matérialisme jusqu’à l’émergence d’un « nouveau matérialisme » contemporain, l’ouvrage vise à revitaliser le matérialisme et sa lecture

Content: Ecosystem-based management on coral reefs has historically focused on biodiversity conservation through the establishment of marine reserves, but it is increasingly recognised that a subset of species can be key to the maintenance of ecosystem processes and functioning. Specific provisions for these key taxa are essential to biodiversity conservation and resilience-based adaptive management. While a wealth of literature addresses ecosystem functioning on coral reefs, available information covers only a subset of specific taxa, ecological processes and environmental stressors. What is lacking is a comparative assessment across the diverse range of coral reef species to synthesise available knowledge to inform science and management. Here we employed expert elicitation coupled with a literature review to generate the first comprehensive assessment of 70 taxonomically diverse and functionally distinct coral reef species from microbes to top predators to summarise reef functioning. Although our synthesis is largely through the lens of the Great Barrier Reef, Australia, a particularly data-rich system, it is relevant to coral reefs in general. We use this assessment to evaluate which taxa drive processes that maintain a healthy reef, and whether or not management of these taxa is considered a priority (i.e. are they vulnerable?) or is feasible (i.e. can they be managed?). Scientific certainty was scored to weight our recommendations, particularly when certainty was low. We use five case studies to highlight critical gaps in knowledge that limit our understanding of ecosystem functioning. To inform the development of novel management strategies and research objectives, we identify taxa that support positive interactions and enhance ecosystem performance, including those where these roles are currently underappreciated. We conclude that current initiatives effectively capture many priority taxa, but that there is significant room to increase opportunities for underappreciated taxa in both science and management to maximally safeguard coral reef functioning
