Tribalismus ist ein tief in der Geschichte des Jemen verwurzeltes, emisches Konzept sozialer Repräsentation, dessen Bedeutung in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten zu schwinden schien. Im beginnenden 21. Jahrhundert, gekennzeichnet von profunden sozialen und politischen Umbrüchen, bewaffneten Konflikten, Wirtschaftskrisen und dem Zerfall der staatlichen Ordnung, entfaltet das Konzept des Tribalismus jedoch wieder eine neue Dynamik. Dieser Band versammelt die Arbeiten von Forschern unterschiedlicher Disziplinen, welche die Langlebigkeit, Vielfalt und Bedeutung von Phänomenen des Tribalismus im heutigen Jemen untersuchen. Ihre Erkenntnisse bereichern die Diskussion über die Bedeutung von Tribalismus und (Re-)Tribalisierung im Jemen und, darüber hinaus, im ganzen Nahen Osten. In Yemen, “tribe” is a historically rooted, emic concept of social representation. Rooted in remotest antiquity, over the last centuries the concept of tribe in Yemen has undergone transformations, but also featured aspects of continuity. Today, with the emergence of massive political change, the eruption of popular uprisings, armed conflicts, external military intervention and the associated weakness of the state, tribalism seems to be gaining in importance once again, filling the void created by a retreating state. This collective volume explores the longevity and diversity of manifestations of tribalism in present-day Yemen. It aims at updating and rethinking research on tribes and tribalism in Yemen and providing new input for the discussion of tribalism in contemporary Middle East.
