Sommario/riassunto |

""When you say, 'Black is Beautiful,' what in fact you are saying. is: Man, you are okay as you are; begin to look upon yourself as a human being." With such statements, Stephen Biko became the voice of Black Consciousness. And with Biko's brutal death in the custody of the South African police, he became a martyr, an enduring symbol of the horrors of apartheid. Through the lens of visual culture, Biko's Ghost reveals how the man and the ideology he promoted have profoundly influenced |

liberation politics and race discourse--in South Africa and around the globe--ever since. Tracing the linked histories of Black Consciousness and its most famous proponent, Biko's Ghost explores the concepts of unity, ancestry, and action that lie at the heart of the ideology and the man. It challenges the dominant historical view of Black Consciousness as ineffectual or racially exclusive, suppressed on the one side by the apartheid regime and on the other by the African National Congress. Engaging theories of trauma and representation, and icon and ideology, Shannen L. Hill considers the martyred Biko as an embattled icon, his image portrayals assuming different shapes and political meanings in different hands. So, too, does she illuminate how Black Consciousness worked behind the scenes throughout the 1980's, a decade of heightened popular unrest and state censorship. She shows how--in streams of imagery that continue to multiply nearly forty years on--Biko's visage and the ongoing life of Black Consciousness served as instruments through which artists could combat the abuses of apartheid and unsettle the "rainbow nation" that followed.

In der Forschung über Selbständigkeit und Existenzgründungen dominieren bislang vor allem betriebswirtschaftliche Perspektiven. Sehr viel seltener stehen sozialwissenschaftliche Zugänge im Zentrum - obwohl die Selbständigkeit eine Vielzahl von Problemen aufwirft, die im |

Fokus der Sozialwissenschaften stehen: Aspekte der Vereinbarkeit von Beruf und Familie, der Work-Life-Balance und der sozialen Sicherung sind hier in besonderer Weise berührt, ebenso Fragen nach Geschlechterdifferenzen im Gründungsgeschehen sowie bei Branchen- und Einkommensentwicklungen. Nicht zuletzt stellt der Start in die Selbständigkeit meist einen tiefen biografischen Einschnitt dar, der die Lebenslauf- und Berufsverlaufsforschung herausfordert. Dieser Band zielt darauf ab, einer sozialwissenschaftlichen Selbständigkeitsforschung neue Impulse zu verleihen, indem er eine breite Auswahl von Themen, theoretischen und empirischen Zugängen, auch historischen und internationalen Perspektiven versammelt. Die Beiträge werfen dabei vor allem auch Licht auf den tiefgreifenden Wandel und die wachsende Heterogenität von Selbständigkeit, sichtbar z.B. in der Zunahme der Solo-Selbständigkeit und der Altersstreuung bei Gründer/inne/n. |
