“…As embodied space refers to "the location where human experience and consciousness take on material and spatial form" (Low, 2003, p.10), excluded regions for outsiders can be regarded as "a space of deletions or of delimitations constraining one person's presence at particular locales" (Munn, 1996, p.448). In this scenario, the boundary is not abstract but articulated in the contestation and reconstruction of spaces (Gallaher, 1997). In this aspect digital space can be seen to be similar to embodied space.…”

This article analyzes how digital technology can shape cultural practice in Chinese online communities. By using the concepts of boundary and identity, it explores the formation of two online punk communities in China, created by those who are interested in punk music originating from the Anglo-American countries. Drawing on data from participant observation and 10 in-depth interviews, this article first reviews literature on Internet culture in China, online community, boundary and identity. It then focuses on the differing practices of the two online punk communities. A discussion is subsequently provided, of how boundaries are constructed in the online communities through exclusion enabled by the technological platform. An analysis of how the members identify themselves with online communities and form punk subculture encouraged by the boundaries of their respective communities is then presented towards the end of the article. It is through this process, that the members empower themselves in their relationships with their surrounding society.

“…Historically on the fringes of Protestantism, evangelicals were in the midst of a resurgence. Leaders on the Christian Right were not only entering politics, they were attempting to make their operations mainstream and professional as well (Fitzgerald, 1986; Gallaher, 1997). They did so with a business ethos in mind (Diamond, 1989).…”

Protestantism has grown rapidly among Latin America’s indigenous population since the 1980s. Despite Protestantism’s attractiveness to indigenous people, the literature has historically regarded it as incompatible with indigenous culture. Recent scholarship has moved beyond this assertion, focusing instead on the complexities of conversion and the paradoxes associated with it. Most scholars now argue that Protestantism can be compatible with indigenous culture. It is unclear, however, how Protestant institutions came to have a compatible relationship with indigenous culture. Indeed, Protestant churches/clergy continue to eschew many of the practices associated with indigenous culture. In this paper I address this question by examining the work of Protestant missionaries. I choose missionaries as my point of analysis because they were crucial in establishing Protestantism in the region, and thus the base point from which it is defined, practiced, and altered. As a case study I examine mission work in Oaxaca, Mexico. I argue that missionaries have changed both their conversion strategies and tactics for dealing with indigenous traditions. These changes make it easier for indigenous people to convert to Protestantism without rejecting key parts of their culture, and in a few cases by even embracing it. I examine two conversion strategies—group targeting and church planting. I also analyze three tactics missionaries use to negotiate indigenous customs considered ‘pagan.’ I choose tequio, village fiestas, and language politics because they have historically been sources of conflict between converts and their Catholic neighbours.

“…Allan Preds (2000) Forschung über Rassismus in Schweden ist ein weiterer früher Beitrag zur Debatte über den Aufstieg rechter Bewegungen. Carolyn Gallaher (1997) sieht die Entstehung einer Rechten eng verknüpft mit Fragen der Bedeutungszuschreibungen von Orten, Landschaften und der Herausbildung lokaler Identitäten. Anthony Ince (2011) zieht Verbindungen zwischen der britischen extremen Rechten und ihren räumlichen Strategien, die darauf abzielen, ‚Authentizität' zu produzieren.…”

Im Beitrag entwickeln wir einen kritischen Blick auf die Geographie der Wahlergebnisse der Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) bei den Bundestagswahlen 2017. Wir hinterfragen Erklärungsmuster, die in einem starren Stadt-Land-Gegensatz verhaftet bleiben und die komplexe Prozesshaftigkeit der Urbanisierung ignorieren. Dagegen gehen wir mit Henri Lefebvre und Theodor W. Adorno vom Urbanen und Ruralen als sozialen Verhältnissen aus, die sich im übergeordneten Prozess der Urbanisierung in dialektischer Weise scheiden sowie räumlich im Spannungsverhältnis von Zentrum und Peripherie materialisieren. Beispielhaft illustrieren wir diesen Prozess in der Diskussion von drei unterschiedlichen Orten, an denen die AfD bei den Bundestagswahlen besonders erfolgreich war: dem Landkreis Vorpommern-Greifswald als Fall einer umfassenden Peripherisierung, dem Quartier Pforzheim-Haidach als peripheres Zentrum und dem Stadtteil Mannheim-Schönau als zentrale Peripherie. Der Beitrag versucht damit eine räumliche Perspektive auf aktuelle Erfolge des Rechtspopulismus zu entwickeln wie auch Stadt-Land-Verhältnisse konzeptionell neu zu erfassen.
