The paper examines the notion of integration through formal education by focusing on immigrant families in Germany. The article focuses on the predominant discourse that persists in reiterating the binary code of the formal education system, which encompasses educational success or failure as a synonym for the migration policy code of integration or disintegration. This equation is made even stronger by a meritocratic philosophy that doesn't consider the othering processes and ignores all the restrictions that migrant youth face in education, the labour market, and the market for vocational training. The ambiguity between the actual possibilities and the attainable goals, embodied in the predominant imperative of “social mobility through education”, creates resistance within the group of immigrant parents and youth. The article argues that under these conditions, the family system may provide alternative ways of recognition for young people, which can be taken as a counter-concept with its own values that reject media-mediated narratives of integration and their symbolic representatives. By utilizing empirical data, the article provides insight into the past and present experiences of family members and the factors that contribute to the resistance of immigrant families.

This paper studies the pupils of three Jesuit grammar schools (Gymnasia) in Western Hungary by electronically processing data to create databases of the schools' registers (Győr 1630–1773, Bratislava 1650–1772, Trnava 1616–1618, 1625–1772). In the time-span considered, more than 70,000 pupils were matriculated in these three schools. After introducing the basic principles of digitally processing and recording the registers and outlining the institutional framework of the Jesuit grammar schools, the development of the numbers of pupils, their distribution in cohorts by year, age and social background, their distribution according to nationality and places of birth (i. e. the outreach of the schools) are presented. First analyses show that, contrary to widespread assumption, there was no majority of noble families. Instead, the high numbers of non-noble pupils prove the schools' role of a kind of social melting pot. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The slave trade in Central Asia was a crucial factor in the European power discourse in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The debates regarding the enslavement of Russians and the slave trade in Bukhara and Khiva were instrumentalized to establish "the secure border" and to legitimize Russian expansion in Central Asia in the nineteenth century. This paper is a contribution to the research on slavery in Bukhara. The State Archive in Orenburg contains memoirs and reports of ransomed Russian slaves, some published in the Russian press in the nineteenth ccntury and others unpublished, which allow analysis of slavery at the micro level for the first time. The spatial and social mobility of slaves is analysed using social-scientific concepts of mobility. By examining the mobility of slaves and, at a meta-level, the concurrent mobility, i.e. transfer, of knowledge, the paper provides not only a deeper understanding of the civil status of slaves in eighteenth and nineteenth-century Bukhara, but also of mobility processes in Central Asia and their impact on the actors involved.

Basing on empirical evidences of three case study research projects related to rural Austria, the present paper aims at investigating the spatial mobility of inhabitants of rural regions throughout the life course. The particular decisions to migrate are manifold and depend on the personal need for settledness extend and nature of the personal decision-making competence, as well as the role of rational and emotional influencing factors and the resulting loyalty to locality. While the desire of children as well as young senior citizens for settledness correlates with a great significance of emotional influencing factors (family, well-being, memories), rational aspects are prevailing in the phase of entering the labor market and establishing a professional life. As a consequence the urban areas, although unknown are preferred in comparison to the rural communities of origin. The challenge for rural communities lies not only in different definitions of quality of life but also in a not yet recognized heterogeneity within the separate age groups. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

At the crest of the debates about policy of education in the sixties, there was a general expectation that educational opportunities for children from different social backgrounds could be equalized through reform and expansion of the educational system. There were, however, already critical views about the alleged equalization effects of education on social change. How much justified were they? My basic question which is addressed to the comparative reanalysis on the basis of detailed findings of official dates can be stated as follows: To what extent has the relationship between social origin and educational participation of children changed over time and why did this happen? On this background I will focus on two important theoretical perspectives which have guided the comparative reanalysis of this question, namely: the thesis of individualization and thesis of reproduction of cultural capital. On the whole, the paper confirms the findings of the thesis of reproduction of cultural capital. The results clearly show that the transmission of cultural capital has remained for a long time one of the most important components of social reproduction. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, we intend to follow the social and political trajectory of the merchant Fernão Gonçalves Façanha who conducted his professional activity in Évora, one of the most important cities of medieval Portugal, in the second half of the 14th century. This is a powerful businessman who held various positions in the municipal administration and in other urban institutions and played a relevant role in the public life of the city. Despite the crisis and the troubles that have marked much of the time in which he lived, Fernão Gonçalves will experience a process of enrichment and social empowerment, which will progressively bring him closer to the leading group. His route is of great historiographical interest, as it constitutes a good example of someone who knew how to take advantage of the opportunities of a context which was largely favorable to mobility and, to start a process of social ascent based on material wealth, but where the relational framework and political options are equally essential.

Nearly every person knows sequences of mobility and immobility in his live from own experience. In a live time there are phases of high and of low mobility. In the historical perspective the mobile population groups change regarding volume, distances and patterns of their migratory behavior. But within the last decade it hast to be stated that the migration of (young) women has led to regional imbalances in many countries with unnoted consequences. Research on the motivation behind individual migration explains gender typical migration with individual live chances regarding education, job and partnership beyond traditional life styles and family constellations. Since the 19th century, young adults move from the country side towards cities and urban areas because of their numerous and various facilities regarding education and jobs. Also the higher mobility of young women is already known from earlier centuries. But the mismatch of biographical mobility among men and women has never been as high as nowadays. In some regions the sex ratio of men to women became so skew that political attention and action is needed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

History has for a long time focused on the stable aspects of societies; recently, however, in the context of a rising interest in global interconnections, people on the move have caught the attention of historians. The article follows this interest in stressing the importance of faster mobility for sustaining the expansion of empires or the development of a world economy in the wave of globalisation at the turn of the 20th century. Yet at the same time – and this has mostly been neglected – it is crucial on the one hand to distinguish different kinds of mobility and on the other to analyse how these differentiations were actually established at a time of increasing acceleration. This is pursued by first introducing concepts that have developed such a differentiated approach towards mobility, or rather mobilities. Subsequently these arguments are taken further through an investigation of the political processes that determine the distinction between different mobilities. This structuring of mobilities becomes most evident in spaces where different trajectories overlap and intersect. What emerges is neither all-encompassing acceleration nor the hardening of borders and constraints, but rather the channelling of movements in an attempt to bring them under control.
