Lernende sollen im Religions- und im Ethikunterricht unter anderem die Fähigkeit erwerben, einen eigenen Standpunkt zu entwickeln, zu begründen und sich zu positionieren. Wie anspruchsvoll diese Positionierungsleistung ist, zeigt sich am evangelischen Religionsunterricht an beruflichen Schulen, der häufig im Klassenverband stattfindet. Heterogenität ist hier eine alltägliche Erfahrung. In keiner anderen Schulform ist die Vielfalt der Lernenden größer als dort. Ethnische, kulturelle, religiöse, weltanschauliche Pluralität und eine dazu kommende individuelle Heterogenität sind allgegenwärtig. Im Religionsunterricht ist diese Heterogenität selbst auch Thema. Wie positionieren sich Jugendliche darin? Was sagen Schüler und Schülerinnen selbst? Darüber liegen kaum Erkenntnisse vor. Diese Mixed-Methods-Studie an drei Beruflichen Schulen in Frankfurt am Main rekonstruiert die komplexen Prozesse der Positionierung. Sie entwickelt Güte-Kriterien für die produktive Gestaltung interreligiöser Lernprozesse.

Katharina Neumann beschäftigt sich aus einer kommunikationswissenschaftlichen Perspektive mit dem Phänomen der Radikalisierung. Sie untersucht mithilfe einer qualitativen Befragung von radikalisierten Islamisten und Szeneaussteigern, inwiefern journalistische Medienberichterstattung und Propaganda islamistische Radikalisierungsprozesse beeinflussen können. Es zeigt sich, dass sowohl journalistische als auch propagandistische Inhalte im gesamten Radikalisierungsprozess eine zentrale Rolle spielen und zum Teil unheilvolle Wechselwirkungen entfalten. Auf Basis der Befunde leitet die Autorin schließlich Handlungsempfehlungen für die journalistische Praxis ab.

This book offers an account of religious schooling committed to queer-thriving' and envisions how queer staff and students can live their lives without being accommodated' within heteronormative religious traditions. Engaging with queer theological perspectives across the Jewish, Christian, and Muslim traditions, the book begins by situatingqueer thriving as a viable part of the work of the religious school, and not just as something reserved for progressive education more broadly. Taking three areas that are typically used to justify religious heteronormativity (religious texts, religious values, religious rituals), it engages queer theologies to showcase how an educational approach committed to queer thriving can be enacted in religious schools in ways that are also theologically sensitive. The book then explores how religious school communities can navigate differences around queerness and religion in ways that are supportive of queer staff and students. It takes desire as an everyday reality in classrooms and applies a queer lens to this to challenge heteronormativity and to imagine alternative modes of relationship between staff, students, and communities that enable queer staff and students to thrive. Showcasing possibilities of resistance for the opposition between religious and queer concerns, it will appeal to researchers, postgraduates and academics in the fields of religion and education, whilst also benefitting those working across philosophy of education and educational theory, sex education, sociology of education, social justice education, queer theologies, religious studies, and sociology of religion

Looking at the past from an anthropological perspective, this book deploys and analyses a variety of anthropological concepts to understand the history of Cocos Malay society. Around 400 Cocos Malays reside on their remote Indian Ocean atoll, the Cocos Islands. Possessing a unique culture and dialect, they could be considered Australia's oldest Muslim and oldest Malay group. Yet their society only developed over the past two centuries. In the early 1800s, a European gathered about one hundred slaves from around Southeast Asia. After settling on Cocos, a dynasty of rulers tried to distinguish themselves as European kings. Under them, the Southeast Asians in the group toiled in the export of coconuts. But despite this, these Southeast Asians influenced and intermarried with the rulers. As a result, a Eurasian society developed. The Cocos Malays were initially implicated in Southeast Asian and wider Indian Ocean trade and communication networks. Later, this connectivity intensified through technologies such as telegraph cable and the Internet. This book uses the history of the Cocos Malays to explore questions of broader interest to anthropologists, such as how concepts from the overlap of history and anthropology 'unlock' the history of societies; how we can usefully combine the 'indigenous' concepts like "kerajaan" with internationally accepted concepts like class; and what is obscured when we use the concepts from the anthropology-history crossover to understand the past

"This book investigates how Uyghur-related violent conflict and Uyghur ethnic minority identity, religion, and the Xinjiang region more broadly, became constituted as a 'terrorism' problem for the Chinese state. Building on securitization theory, Critical Terrorism Studies (CTS), and the scholarly definitional debate on terrorism, it develops the concept of terroristization as a critical analytical framework for the study of historical processes of threat-construction. Investigating the violent events reported in Xinjiang since the early 1980s, the evolving discursive patterns used by the Chinese state to make sense of violent incidents, and the crackdown policies that the official terrorism discourse has legitimized, the book demonstrates how the securitization, and later terroristization, of Xinjiang and the Uyghurs, is the result of a discursive and political choice of the Chinese state. The author reveals the contingent and unstable nature of such construction, and how it problematizes the inevitability of the rationale behind China's 'war on terror', that has prescribed a brutal crackdown as the most viable approach to governing the tensions that have historically characterized China's rule over the Turkic Muslim ethnic minorities in Xinjiang. This book will be of interest to scholars and students of the politics of contemporary China, security and ethnic minority issues, International Relations and Security, as well as those adopting discursive approaches to the study of security, notably those within the critical security and terrorism studies fields"--
