Sommario/riassunto

Competitive ballroom is much more than a style of dance. Rather, it is a continually evolving and increasingly global social and cultural arena: of fashion, performance, art, sport, gender, and more. Ballroom explores the intersection of dance cultures, dress, and the body. Presenting the author's experiences at an international range of dance events from Europe, the US and UK, as well as featuring the views of individual dancers, the book shows how dancing influences mind and



body alike. For students of anthropology, dance, cultural, and performance studies, Ballroom provides an ethnographic

Sommario/riassunto

Die sakralen Räume unserer Städte haben in den letzten Jahrzehnten an Vielfalt gewonnen. Neben etablierten Institutionen erheben neue Stimmen Anspruch auf Partizipation im Neben- und Miteinander religiöser Ideen wie auch im architektonischen Ausdruck. Das Buch thematisiert diese sakraltopografischen Veränderungen in Deutschland seit 1990 sowohl in quantitativer als auch in qualitativer Hinsicht am Beispiel jüdischer, christlicher und muslimischer Sakralbauten. Es thematisiert das Ringen um die Behauptung und/oder Erzeugung urbaner Sichtbarkeit und leistet damit einen wichtigen Beitrag zur übergeordneten Fragestellung, wie Architektur einerseits Ausdruck gesellschaftlicher Ordnungen und andererseits zugleich sozial effektiv sein kann.

Over the past decades, the religious spaces in German cities have grown in number. Alongside established institutions, new voices are



jostling for participation in the engagement with and the coexistence of different religious ideas—and their architectural expression. Using Jewish, Christian, and Islamic religious buildings as examples, this book documents the sacral-topographical changes since 1990 both quantitatively and qualitatively. Focusing on the struggle for urban visibility, the book provides an important contribution to the overarching question of how architecture can be both an expression of social order and affect social dynamics.
