Anthropological Abstracts (AA) is a reference journal published once a year in print, but also under www.anthropology-online.de and announces - in English language - most publications in the field of cultural/social anthropology published in the German language area (Austria, Germany, Switzerland). Since many of these publications have been written in German, and most German publications are not included in the major English language abstracting services, Anthropological Abstracts offers a convenient source of information for anthropologists and social scientists in general who do not read German, to become aware of anthropological research and publications in German-speaking countries. Included are journal articles, monographs, anthologies, exhibition catalogs, yearbooks, etc. Most abstracts are authored by the editor, others are specified accordingly. This journal is edited by Ulrich Oberdiek since 1993 (formerly: Abstracts in German Anthropology; since 2002: Anthropological Abstract

Research by social scientists on multicultural and multilingual post-Soviet societies is manifold. However, there rarely exists a dialogue between academic fields, traditions and ideologies. This book critically reunites different academic generations and traditions, different disciplines, and different geographical and cultural backgrounds by keeping the plurality of the approaches. The contributions discuss the roles of ideologies, education, and ethnic, linguistic, and religious identities in the post-Soviet nation-building processes. The included case studies show continuities and discontinuities in the ideological and political aspects of nation-building and identity management in post-Soviet societies.

Grenzuberschreitungen" - das Uberwinden von Grenzen in ethnischer, kultureller und fachlicher Perspektive pragen das Werk von Gabriella Schubert, die qua Beruf und Berufung zum Dialog der Volker und Kulturen einladt. Mit der Festschrift Grenzuberschreitungen wird eine Wissenschaftlerin geehrt, die sich in ihrer langjahrigen Lehr- und Forschungstatigkeit zur Kultursemiotik, zu Selbst- und Fremdbild, Sprache und Identitat sowie zu den Volksliteraturen in Sudosteuropa grosse Anerkennung im In- und Ausland (u.a. Mitglied der Serbischen und der Ungarischen Akademie der Wissenschaften sowie des Prasidiums der Sudosteuropa- Gesellschaft) erworben hat. Zahlreiche Symposien und Buchveroffentlichungen zeugen davon, dass ihr besonders die deutsch-sudslawischen Beziehungen am Herzen liegen - eben die Uberwindung von Grenzen. "Grenzuberschreitungen" spiegeln sich ebenfalls in den Beitragen der Festschrift fur Gabriella Schubert wider, die 57 Kollegen, Weggefahrten, Schuler und Freunde der Jubilarin zum Geburtstag widmen. In dem Band vereinen sich Beitrage aus Balkanologie, Sudslawistik, Sudosteuropastudien, Rumanischer Philologie, Byzantinistik, Religionswissenschaft, Soziologie und sudosteuropaischer Geschichte, die sich alle thematisch mit den Traditionen und Identitaten in Sudosteuropa auseinandersetzen.
