| Summary/Abstract |
The ways that financialization has contributed to the technocratic and antipolitical management of economies have become ever more evident in the wake of the financial crisis that commenced in the autumn of 2007. This bracketing and suspension of politics occurs in various ways but significantly, it does so through the obscuring of work as a moment of economic life. If economics has been complicit in this antipolitics, can an aesthetic approach to financialization shed light on how work is rendered invisible? This article analyzes four short film clips all distributed through YouTube to show not only how their visual and narrative elements organize subjectivities for an antipolitics of finance but also to find in the popular aesthetic a different "distribution of the sensible" that permits moments of suspension or rupture that can politicize financialized subjectivity and begin to recover a politics of work.

| Summary/Abstract |
Contemporary sociology is saddled with a culture-structure binary but the fault for its existence lies mostly with cultural sociology. This article is devoted to four related assertions: (1) There has never been any agreement on the definition of culture, making cultural sociology a field unable to define its central concept. (2) The binary ignores the fact that the proper explanation of social behaviour requires both structure and culture; culture cannot be its own cause. (3) Cultural sociology is soft and sentimental, avoiding conflict as well as politics. (4) It neglects policy and policy-relevant research even more than the rest of sociology. Structural sociology has some shortcomings as well, however, and the culture-structure binary should be abandoned.

| Summary/Abstract |
Khakassia, quite often and quite fairly, is called a museum in the open air and an Archaeological Mecca. Those who have been living on the territory of the Republic of Khakassia and those who come here inevitably meet with rich and unique, historical and cultural heritage bequeathed by hundreds of generations of people.

| Summary/Abstract |
In his essay on Arendt's "antiprimitivism," Jimmy Casas Klausen partly agrees
with scholars such as Anne Norton and Norma Claire Moruzzi who suggest
that especially the discussion of "Hottentots" in The Origins of Totalitarianism
is replete with racial prejudice.
1
Yet, to the extent that racial explanations cannot fully account for why and how Arendt also targets "Boers," Klausen argues,
these criticisms are lacking. He contends that what is ultimately the problem is
Arendt's antiprimitivist notion of culture that chastises Boers for their indolence and turns Hottentots into barely human primitives without history. In
what follows, I take issue with this characterization of Arendt as an antiprimitivist situated in the German tradition of culture as Bildung. Arendt's essays
on culture, which Klausen cites to support his argument, actually include several criticisms of this tradition. More importantly, it is hard to maintain this
charge of antiprimitivism given that these essays, in line with the arguments in
The Human Condition, raise serious concerns about using the realm of cultural
production as a yardstick of humanity.

| Summary/Abstract |
Cities increasingly use artistic and cultural activities to promote active citizenship and social cohesion. We suggest that city-sponsored cultural and artistic practices in Sweden are finding a new discursive context in migration. In this article, we look at two artistic and cultural institutions in Malmö, Sweden: Arena 305 and Drömmarnas hus. We develop a typology of governmentalisation based on the work of Nicholas Rose and Peter Miller, which allows us to describe the governing activity of Arena 305 and Drömmarnas hus. What becomes visible is the discrepancy between the moral form of the political rationalities and the technologies of government: even though institutions may harbour ideals and principles of inclusion, they are perfectly capable of sustaining activities that brighten the very boundaries they set out to challenge.

| Summary/Abstract |
Mediating regional conflict in Asia is a delicate art. It requires an acute understanding of the unique mediation culture in the region. China's mediation in the nuclear crisis on the Korean Peninsula reveals key elements of this art and offers useful lessons. China's experience illustrates that an influential but neutral and harmony-oriented mediator is critical in the Asian context. It is equally essential for the mediator to (1) abide by the principle of noninterference in other countries' internal affairs while maintaining active intervention as dispute escalates, (2) stand ready to nudge those being mediated toward action when necessary to advance peaceful negotiations, (3) establish an optimal environment to foster communication and reduce hostility between the major parties in dispute, (4) serve as an honest broker but remain firm in its own position and cautiously take initiatives to guide the talks, (5) advocate a step-by-step approach to the negotiation process, and (6) aim for the outcome of negotiations to be a give-and-take agreement. Although Asia is a conflict-prone region, Asians traditionally confuse mediation with meddling. As a result, non-Asians often try to serve as mediators for Asia. For more effective mediations, it is essential that Asians rediscover their useful mediation skills and that non-Asians better understand the Asian art of mediation when they act as mediator.

| Summary/Abstract |
This personal account, by the first director (1996–2005) of the Sakakini Center in Ramallah, describes the rewards and difficulties of establishing and running an NGO dedicated to culture and the arts in occupied Palestine. In the process of recounting the story of the center—its vision and objectives, multidisciplinary programming, funding constraints, its efforts to develop a diversified audience, and the impact of the second intifada—the author touches on a number of broader issues. These include the NGO scene in Palestine, international donor agendas, the inevitable intertwining of culture and politics, questions of identity and survival, and the challenge of finding ways to impart meaning to the arts in a situation of scarcity and siege.

| Summary/Abstract |
The relation between the two close neighbors in the modern world is bound to be a relation of complex interdependence in normal situation for varied reasons. In South Asia, Bangladesh and India are not only geographically close neighbors, they also share common history, culture, and economic background. India also helped Bangladesh in its war of liberation from Pakistan in 1971, which prompted the liberation of Bangladesh from Pakistani occupation and hastened the emergence of Bangladesh as an independent state. Nethertheless, the relationship between these two neighbors is not symmetrically positive. While the reasons for asymmetry in their relations are manifold, a few of them may be worth mentioning here: history, the larger size of India compared to Bangladesh, the nature of political regimes and their leaders in the two countries, the government policies, geography/border, and the economic conditions in both the countries. This paper, while examining the recent issues that have created problems and the possible areas of cooperation and development in the relations between the two neighbors, suggests that a symmetrical relation of complex interdependence between India and Bangladesh will be beneficial for both the countries in many ways.

| Summary/Abstract |
This contribution explores how authoritarian governmental practices come to inform everyday civilities-manners and forms of interaction among the subjects of government. With a focus on Egypt it examines how forms of government and rule deployed by the state give rise to particular modes of action, norms of interaction and socio-political dispositions among the citizenry. Central to this analysis is the examination of political subjectivities that develop in regular encounters with the agents and agencies of the state. These subjectivities generate understandings of self in relation to the apparatuses of power-out of intimate knowledge of their workings and of the multiple orders at which they operate. Integral to citizen subjectivities are civilities cultivated in interaction with the state and with fellow subject-citizens.

| Summary/Abstract |
Recent scholarly critiques of the so-called liberal peace raise important political and ethical challenges to practices of postwar intervention in the global South. However, their conceptual and analytic approaches have tended to reproduce rather than challenge the intellectual Eurocentrism underpinning the liberal peace. Eurocentric features of the critiques include the methodological bypassing of target subjects in research, the analytic bypassing of subjects through frameworks of governmentality, the assumed ontological split between the 'liberal' and the 'local', and a nostalgia for the liberal subject and the liberal social contract as alternative bases for politics. These collectively produce a 'paradox of liberalism' that sees the liberal peace as oppressive but also the only true source of emancipation. However, the article suggests that a repoliticization of colonial difference offers an alternative 'decolonizing' approach to critical analysis through repositioning the analytic gaze. Three alternative research strategies for critical analysis are briefly developed.

| Summary/Abstract |
Balconies have an important role in the social life of Tel-Aviv. The article explores different aspects of urban politics and the cultural history of balconies, and in particular sheds light on façade balconies in Tel-Aviv as liminal places between the private sphere and the public arena. Focusing on socio-cultural and architectural characteristics, the study presents, from an historical perspective, changes of style and use of the balconies of Tel-Aviv and examines them as sites of dispute between residents and authorities.
