Rituale geben Menschen Stabilität und Kraft im täglichen Leben. Durch eine Migration können sich Modifikationen in der Performanz und Materialität der Rituale ergeben. Die Bachelorarbeit befasst sich mit diesen Veränderungen am Beispiel der Materialität des Hindu Rituals Puja. Das Ziel der Arbeit ist die Betrachtung, inwiefern aufgrund einer Migration Aneignungsprozesse in der Materialität stattfinden und diese ein Beispiel für Ritualdynamik sein können. Basierend auf den Ergebnissen eines in 2021/22 durch die Verfasserin durchgeführten Projekts im Rhein-Main Gebiet wird beschrieben, welche Gaben von den Gläubigen benutzt werden, welche Beschaffungsprozesse durchlaufen werden und welche Bedeutung eventuelle Veränderungen für die Gläubigen haben. Hierzu werden die Hypothesen erstellt und bestätigt, dass ein Aneignungsprozess und somit ein ritualdynamischer Prozess stattfindet und die Puja, aufgrund ihrer Flexibilität, ein geeignetes Ritual zur zukünftigen Untersuchung von Ritualdynamik darstellt.
Zunächst legt die Autorin den ethnologischen Ritualbegriff unter anderem über die Ritualtypen von Ronald L. Grimes dar und erörtert die Theorien der ritual studies. Des Weiteren wird der Forschungsstand des Themenbereichs der Ritualdynamik anhand der Ergebnisse und Theorien des Sonderforschungsbereichs 619 (SFB 619) in Heidelberg (2002-2013) erläutert. Darauffolgend werden nach einer kurzen Vorstellung des Hindu-Glaubens und den Grundlagen der Puja die Erkenntnisse aus dem Forschungsprojekt dargelegt. Anhand der Ergebnisse aus Interviews, teilnehmenden und passiven Beobachtungen und einer Umfrage mithilfe eines Fragebogens wird die Veränderung bei der Materialität des Rituals am Beispiel der angebotenen Speisen (naivedya) und dem Wasser des heiligen Flusses Ganges (gangagel) beschrieben. Die Flexibilität des Rituals wird anhand von Bespielen durch Informanten veranschaulicht. Abschließend werden die Hypothesen bearbeitet und ein Ausblick in die Zukunft des Themas aus Sicht der Verfasserin gegeben.
During the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany, social restrictions and social distancing policies forced large parts of social life to take place within the household. However, comparatively little is known about how private living situations shaped individuals experiences of this crisis. To investigate this issue, we analyze how experiences and concerns vary across living arrangements along two dimensions that may be associated with social disadvantage: loneliness and care. In doing so, we employ quantitative text analysis on open-ended questions from survey data on a sample of 1,073 individuals living in Germany. We focus our analyses on four different household structures: living alone, shared living without children, living with a partner and children, and single parents. We find that single parents (who are primarily single mothers) are at high risk of experiencing care-related worries, particularly regarding their financial situation, while individuals living alone are most likely to report feelings of loneliness. Those individuals living in shared houses, with or without children, had the lowest risk of experiencing both loneliness and care-related worries. These findings illustrate that the living situation at home substantially impacts how individuals experienced and coped with the pandemic situation during the first wave of the pandemic.

My aim in this paper is to make the debates about epistemic injustice fruitful for an analysis of trust in the knowledge of others. Epistemic trust is understood here in a broad sense: not only as trust in scientific knowledge or expert knowledge, but also as trust in implicit, positioned and experience-based knowledge. Using insights from discussions of epistemic injustice, I argue for three interrelated theses:
1. Questions of epistemic trust and trustworthiness cannot be answered with reference to individual virtue alone; rather, they have a structural component.
2. The rationality of epistemic trust must be analyzed against the background of social structures and social relations of domination.
3. Epistemic trust is (also) a political phenomenon and epistemically just relations depend on political transformation processes that promote equality.
Over the last three decades, countries across the Andean region have moved toward legal recognition of indigenous justice systems. This turn toward legal pluralism, however, has been and continues to be heavily contested. The working paper explores a theoretical perspective that aims at analyzing and making sense of this contentious process by assessing the interplay between conflict and (mis)trust. Based on a review of the existing scholarship on legal pluralism and indigenous justice in the Andean region, with a particular focus on the cases of Bolivia and Ecuador, it is argued that manifest conflict over the contested recognition of indigenous justice can be considered as helpful and even necessary for the deconstruction of mistrust of indigenous justice. Still, such conflict can also help reproduce and even reinforce mistrust, depending on the ways in which conflict is dealt with politically and socially. The exploratory paper suggests four proposition that specify the complex and contingent relationship between conflict and (mis)trust in the contested negotiation of pluralist justice systems in the Andean region.
The article studies civil wars and trust dynamics from two perspectives. It looks, first, at rebel governance during ongoing armed conflict and, second, at mass mobilisation against the regime in post-conflict societies. Both contexts are marked by extraordinarily high degrees of uncertainty given continued, or collective memory of, violence and repression.
But what happens to trust relations under conditions of extreme uncertainty? Intuitively, one would assume that trust is shaken or even substantially eroded in such moments, as political and social orders are questioned on a fundamental level and threaten to collapse. However, while it is true that some forms of trust are under assault in situations of civil war and mass protests, we find empirical evidence which suggests that these situations also give rise to the formation of other kinds of trust. We argue that, in order to detect and explain these trust dynamics in contexts of extreme uncertainty, there should be more systematic studies of: (a) synchronous dynamics between different actors and institutions which imply trust dynamics happening simultaneously, (b) diachronous dynamics and the sequencing of trust dynamics over several phases of violent conflict or episodes of contention, as well as long-term structural legacies of the past. In both dimensions, microlevel relations, as well as their embeddedness in larger structures, help explain how episodes of (non-)violent contention become a critical juncture for political and social trust.
To fight the global problems of humanity, the United Nations has adopted 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). To achieve these goals, it is necessary that future decision-makers and stakeholders in society consider these goals to be important. Therefore, in this study, we examined how important students in 41 countries directly related to the environmental sector rated each of the 17 SDGs. Based on the analysis of these ratings, it was possible to categorize the SDGs into three higher-level factors that reflect the three pillars of sustainability (social, economic, environmental). These three pillars are considered to be of varying importance in different countries. We also correlated the ratings of these higher-level factors with country-specific indicators, such as the Human Development Index. The correlations between the indicators and the higher-level factors revealed that in countries with higher indices, the SDGs are rated as less important compared to in countries with lower indices. These results provide stakeholders with important guidance on how the SDGs should be promoted in their country.
