November 2015Schule, Moschee, Elternhaus
Eine ethnologische Intervention
by Werner Schiffauer, Meryem Uçan, Susanne Schwalgin, Neslihan Kurt
Das Verhältnis zwischen Schulen und muslimischen Elternhäusern ist belastet, wenn nicht zerrüttet. Viele Lehrer reagieren ungehalten auf Muslime, die nur selten als Bereicherung empfunden werden. Die Eltern fürchten Diskriminierung und die Entwertung der Religion. Konflikte um Schwimmunterricht und Klassenfahrten sind nur der sichtbarste Ausdruck dieser Spannungen. Im Rahmen des Projektes »Brücken im Kiez« haben Werner Schiffauer und sein Team einen Dialog zwischen Eltern, Vertretern von Moscheegemeinden und Lehrern initiiert und versucht, einen Lernprozess in Gang zu setzen. Jenseits aller Klischees von Parallelgesellschaften und Integrationsverweigerung zeigen sie auf, wo konkret die Hürden für ein besseres Miteinander liegen.

May 2019Burlesquing Hamlet: Cultural Exchange and Appropriation in the Victorian Age
by Gunaydin Albay, Neslihan
This study analyzes several burlesques to examine how such social and political comment takes place through a form of dialog in which the burlesque engages with the cultural claims of serious revivals of Shakespeare. It concentrates on how burlesque dramas’ treatment of Shakespearean plays reflects key attitudes and tensions in Victorian society, highlighting these through the incongruities between Shakespeare as known to their audience and as presented in the plays. The theatrical burlesques composed in the Victorian age adapt Shakespeare to address the habits, tastes, cultural and social values and preoccupations of their audiences. Hence, issues of social class, gender, race, political topicality, and the social status of the plays’ addressees, are addressed. The changes and tensions in Victorian drama through burlesques are central to an understanding of nineteenth-century popular culture and society. By focusing on concepts of high and low culture in Shakespearean burlesques, both externally and internally, this study takes a distinctive angle which integrates literary analysis with study of audience and cultural reception to provide a better understanding of the cultural significance of these humorous satiric plays.

Essay on Philippine Food and Culture
by Doreen G. Fernandez
Doreen Gamboa Fernandez represents “the compleat writer” – her incisive yet soulful writing, coupled with her keen understanding of the Filipino’s culture and psyche, has brought her (and us fortunate readers) into the very essence of Filipino cooking. According to her, “Writing about food should not be left to newspaper food columnists, or to restaurant reporters. It should be taken from us by historians of the culture, by dramatists and essayists, by novelists, and especially by poets. For it is an act of understanding, an extension of experience. If one can savor the word, then one can swallow the world.”
