Events are “generative moments” in at least three senses: events are created by and condense larger-scale social structures; as moments, they spark and give rise to new social processes; in themselves, events may also serve to analyze social situations and relationships. Based on ethnographic studies from around the world—varying from rituals and meetings over protests and conflicts to natural disasters and management—this volume analyzes generative moments through events that hold the key to understanding larger social situations. These events—including the Ashura ritual in Bahrain, social cleavages in South Africa, a Buddhist cave in Nepal, drought in Burkina Faso, an earthquake in Pakistan, the cartoon crisis in Denmark, corporate management at Bang & Olufsen, protest meetings in Europe, and flooding and urban citizenship in Mozambique—are not simply destructive disasters, crises, and conflicts, but also generative and constitutive of the social. Contents Introduction: In the Event—toward an Anthropology of Generic Moments Chapter 1 ‘Ashura in Bahrain: Analyses of an Analytical Event Chapter 2 ‘Burying the ANC’: Post-apartheid Ambiguities at the University of Limpopo, South Africa Chapter 3 A Topographic Event: A Buddhist Lama’s Perception of a Pilgrimage Cave Chapter 4 The Outburst: Climate Change, Gender Relations, and Situational Analysis Chapter 5 Events and Effects: Intensive Transnationalism among Pakistanis in Denmark Chapter 6 The Cartoon Controversy: Creating Muslims in a Danish Setting Chapter 7 Studying Human Resource Management: Beyond Corporate Consensus and Colonial Conflicts Chapter 8 Figurations of the Future: On the Form and Temporality of Protests among Left Radical Activists in Europe Chapter 9 Mimesis of the State: From Natural Disaster to Urban Citizenship on the Outskirts of Maputo, Mozambique About the Editors Index Before the Nazis took power, Jewish businesspeople in Berlin thrived alongside their non-Jewish neighbors. But Nazi racism changed that, gradually leading to the destruction of Jewish businesses before the murder of the Jews themselves. Reconstructing the fate of more than 8,000 companies, this book offers the first comprehensive analysis of Jewish economic activity and its obliteration. Rather than just examining the steps taken by the persecutors, it also tells the stories of Jewish strategies in countering the effects of persecution. In doing so, this book exposes a fascinating paradox where Berlin, serving as the administrative heart of the Third Reich, was also the site of a dense network for Jewish self-help and assertion.-- Back cover Before the Nazis took power, Jewish businesspeople in Berlin thrived alongside their non-Jewish neighbors.
