This volume brings together 25 defining texts in global history. These pieces cover approaches to the subject from antiquity to the present century and, taken together, show the development of the discipline, providing a solid historiographical, theoretical and methodological overview that will be invaluable for students. The collection gives a unique sense of how, at different times, in different cultural circumstances, students of the past have approached the problems of encompassing the world in a single narrative or theory. This is a reader with an implicit story to unfold. Felipe Fernandez-Armesto tracks how a global understanding of history originated in prophetic writings, how the "Renaissance discovery of the world" multiplied the opportunities for historians to think about history globally, how scientific investigations of change came to exert influence and inspire new thinking among global historians, how "culture wars" ensued between advocates of scientific and cultural models and how changing contexts in the 20th century produced new thematic approaches to the world as a whole. Each part is introduced, setting it in context and explaining the impact of its subject matter on the discipline, as well as the relations between the texts and their place in the overall development of global history

Seit mehr als 20 Jahren findet im deutschsprachigen Raum eine teils intensive Auseinandersetzung mit dem Phänomen jugendlicher Obdachlosigkeit statt. Ziel des Bandes ist eine Beschreibung der Verlaufsmuster jugendlicher Straßenkarrieren. Mithilfe einer Grounded-Theory-Ethnographie, die eine sechsmonatige teilnehmende Beobachtung sowie 45 Interviews umfasste, wurde ein Modell zur Beschreibung der Verlaufs- prozesse entwickelt. Als zentrale Elemente wurden das Kraftfeld, bestehend aus den Kräften Abstoßung und Anziehung, und die Bezugnahme auf außerszenische Anker identifiziert, die Straßenkarrieren hervorrufen, moderieren und zugleich in enger Wechselwirkung mit ihnen stehen.

Ceuta et Melilla, deux enclaves espagnoles au nord de l'Afrique, sont des sociétés plurielles où cohabitent juifs, musulmans, chrétiens et hindous. Comment les relations interculturelles s'y sont-elles forgées ? Qu'est-ce que vivre ensemble veut dire dans ces territoires ? En s'appuyant sur des archives et un travail de terrain, et en étudiant les logiques de conflit et de cohabitation du vivre ensemble qui y les caractérisent, ce livre s'intéresse à l'histoire sociale de ces deux enclaves méconnues.
