Kryzys migracyjny w Niemczech. Problem integracji w powieĆci ABBASA KHIDERSA Ohrfeige z 2016 r.
In den letzten Jahren ist Deutschland mit einer FlĂŒchtlingsbewegung aus LĂ€ndern des Nahen Ostens wie Syrien und dem Irak konfrontiert. FĂŒr die meisten Neuankömmlinge stellt sich die Eingliederung in die deutsche Gesellschaft als besonders problematisch heraus. So mĂŒssen sie eine neue Sprache erlernen und eine ihnen fremde Lebensart und Kultur kennenlernen. Diesen enormen Herausforderungen sind nur wenige gewachsen. Eine ĂŒberwĂ€ltigende Mehrheit der FlĂŒchtlinge scheitert am Integrationsversuch. In dem vorliegenden Aufsatz soll diese Problematik anhand von Ohrfeige des deutsch-irakischen Autors ABBAS KHIDER beleuchtet werden.In recent years, Germany has been confronted with a wave of refugees from Middle Eastern countries, such as Syria and Iraq. For most of the newcomers, integration into German society turns out to be particularly problematic. They have to learn a new language and get to know a way of life and culture that is foreign to them. Only a few are up to these enormous challenges. An overwhelming majority of refugees often fail in their attempts at integration. This article aims to shed light on this problem, using the example of Ohrfeige by the German-Iraqi author ABBAS KHIDER.W ostatnich latach Niemcy skonfrontowane zostaĆy z falÄ

Noun classes and grammatical gender in Wolof
In this paper, we propose a reassessment of Wolof noun morphology and morphosyntax. Wolof is usually said to possess a total of 10 noun classes (8 for the singular, 2 for the plural), marked today exclusively on agreement targets. We provide evidence that two more plural noun classes must be recognized, which have so far been misinterpreted as "collectiveâ rather than plural: the evidence we provide is morphosyntactic (from verb agreement) as well as morphological (from class-related asymmetries in the paradigm of the indefinite article). As for method, the main thrust of the paper consists in showing that an accurate analysis of the Wolof data must make use of the three distinct notions "noun classâ, "inflectional classâ and "agreement classâ (or gender). Under the analysis defended here, Wolof turns out to have a fairly complex gender system, featuring 17 distinct gender values. Our analysis - and especially the discussion of Wolof so-called "collectivesâ - also bears on the general theoretical issue of how to establish the values of the number category

Migrations et changement culturel : argent, « caste », genre et statut social chez les tresseuses sĂ©nĂ©galaises aux Ătats-Unis
La profession quâexercent la majoritĂ© des immigrĂ©es sĂ©nĂ©galaises en AmĂ©rique du Nord est celle de tresseuse de cheveux, un secteur dans lequel les hommes sâengagent Ă©galement comme directeurs de salons de coiffure. Au SĂ©nĂ©gal, cette profession est « traditionnellement » rĂ©servĂ©e Ă des femmes appartenant Ă des corporations artisanales endogames (des « castes »). Dans la diaspora, elle est prisĂ©e et valorisĂ©e, et attire les SĂ©nĂ©galais des deux sexes quels que soient leur ethnie ou leur statut social. Se fondant sur lâexpĂ©rience des tresseuses sĂ©nĂ©galaises Ă Anderson (Californie du Sud), Atlanta, New York et Philadelphie, et sur les rĂŽles que celles-ci exerçaient dans leurs communautĂ©s dâorigine au SĂ©nĂ©gal, cet article explore les questions de « caste », de genre, de classe, et dâargent, et analyse en quoi lâexpĂ©rience de ces immigrants aux Ătats-Unis influence leur comprĂ©hension « traditionnelle » de ces concepts. Jâavance lâidĂ©e que le pouvoir Ă©conomique des immigrants et la transformation de leurs valeurs sociĂ©tales altĂšrent progressivement les bases sociales « traditionnelles » des rĂŽles de genre et des hiĂ©rarchies sociales, Ă la fois dans leur pays dâaccueil et dans leur pays dâorigine. Au SĂ©nĂ©gal, le genre et le statut social ont Ă©tĂ© historiquement construits par la culture islamique locale, par les activitĂ©s professionnelles et la gĂ©nĂ©alogie qui assignent aux hommes et aux femmes de diffĂ©rentes familles et groupes ethniques des rĂŽles spĂ©cifiques au sein de la sociĂ©tĂ©. Mais ces rĂŽles sont de plus en plus contestĂ©s, dans le pays dâorigine et plus encore dans le pays de destination. [âŠ]. Dans la diaspora, la rĂ©ussite Ă©conomique est en train de devenir le dĂ©terminant principal du statut social et les paramĂštres de genre dĂ©finissant le travail passent au second plan pour laisser place au pragmatisme, la possibilitĂ© de gagner confortablement sa vie tendant Ă supplanter toutes les autres considĂ©rations
CONTESTING SPACE, SHAPING PLACES: MAKING ROOM FOR THE MURIDIYYA IN COLONIAL SENEGAL, 1912â45
Diaspora, Faith, and Science: Building a Mouride Hospital in Senegal
This article examines a development initiative spearheaded by the members of a transnational diaspora - the creation of a medical hospital in the holy city of Touba in central Senegal. Although the construction of the hospital is decidedly a philanthropic project, HÎpital Matlaboul Fawzaini is better understood as part of the larger place-making project of the Muridiyya and the pursuit of symbolic capital by a particular Mouride dahira. The dahira\u27s project illuminates important processes of forging global connections and transnational localities, and underscores the importance of understanding the complex motivations behind diaspora development. The hospital\u27s history reveals the delicate negotiations between state actors and diaspora organizations, and the complexities of public-private partnerships for development. In a reversal of state withdrawal in the neo-liberal era, a diaspora association was able to wrest new financial commitments from the state by completing a large infrastructure project. Despite this success, we argue that these kinds of projects, which are by nature uneven and sporadic, reflect particular historical conjunctures and do not offer a panacea for the failure of state-led development. © The Author 2010.
