"Examining the restitution of cultural property to Indigenous Peoples in human rights law, this book offers a detailed analysis of the opportunities and constraints of international law as a tool of resistance and social transformation for marginalized groups. In accordance with an increasing insistence on respect for diverse cultures, and through their own international mobilization, Indigenous Peoples have participated in the construction of a distinct human rights framework. Significant academic inquiry has focused on the substantive gains made by Indigenous Peoples in this context; along with its impact on a body of law that had previously denied Indigenous Peoples a basis for claims to their own cultural materials and practices. Accordingly, this book acknowledges that Indigenous Peoples, as non-state actors, have generated greater substantive and procedural legitimacy in human rights law making. Offering normative insights into the participation of non-state actors in international law making, it also, however, demonstrates that, despite their significant role in constructing the legal framework of human rights in the 21st century, the participation of Indigenous Peoples continues to be structurally limited. With its interdisciplinary approach to the field, this book will appeal to scholars and students in the fields of law, politics, anthropology and indigenous studies"-- Provided by publisher

»Erziehung« und »Bildung« sind zentrale Begriffe erziehungswissenschaftlicher Theoriebildung und pädagogischer Praxis. Dass bereits in deren Konzeption Auffassungen von Geschlecht als zentrale Strukturelemente eingegangen sind, wird jedoch innerhalb erziehungswissenschaftlicher Fachdiskurse wenig reflektiert. Der Einführungsband will diese Problematik wissenschaftstheoretisch aufarbeiten sowie mit feministischen und geschlechtertheoretischen Ansätzen kontrastieren.

Im Herausgeberband werden methodologische und methodische Diskurse der empirischen kindheitspädagogischen Forschung kritisch reflektiert. Dazu werden unterschiedliche, sowohl neuere als auch bewährte, Forschungszugänge im Hinblick auf ihre gegenstandstheoretischen und methodologischen Voraussetzungen, ihre theoretische Anschlussfähigkeit und ihre möglichen Wirkungen im frühpädagogischen Feld diskutiert. Entsprechend sollen Weiterentwicklungspotenziale und -notwendigkeiten der Methoden bzw. Methodologien in der Forschung der Pädagogik der frühen Kindheit herausgearbeitet werden.

Die Sozialräumliche Karte ist ein Verfahren unter dem Dach der Dokumentarischen Methode, das Skizzen/Zeichnungen (Visualisierung) mit qualitativen Interviews (Verbalisierung) verbindet. Durch die selbst zu wählende Gewichtung von Visuellem und Verbalem eröffnen sich differenzierte Ausdrucks- und Reflexionsmöglichkeiten für die Adressat:innen. Entlang verschiedener Beispielthemen und einer Durchführungs- und Auswertungssystematik zeigt dieses Buch die Anwendungsbereiche in Forschung und Praxis auf, z.B. zur Rekonstruktion von Bildungs-, Übergangs- und Professionalisierungsprozessen.

The AI Military Race examines the complexities entailed in creating a global framework to govern the military use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by proposing inclusive and humane ways to forge cooperation. Three novel humanist conceptions are introduced: common good governance, transnational networked cooperation, and humanity's security.

This book offers an account of ten crucial moments in the history of ideas, which represent ten key moments of the discovery of pluralism. From the Indian emperor Ashoka to Origen and from Nicola Cusano to Las Casas, Montaigne, Lessing, giants who opened the way to the thought of tolerance, challenging the dogma of a unique truth dictated by authority, followed in this reconstruction by other glowing thinkers of the twentieth century, such as Horace Kallen, Margaret Mead, and Jacques Dupuis. These protagonists, each in their own way, battled against monism for the respect of differences and for the knowledge of otherness. This kind of hall of fame of pluralist thinkers ends with the most important figure of the pluralism of values, Isaiah Berlin, of whom an unpublished interview appears here for the first time in English. The volume is unique in this two-thousand-year-old variety of voices gathered under the denominator of cultural pluralism that they embody in the deepest and most challenging sense, often at the limits and beyond the limits of heresy. It is of great value and interest to scholars and students of theoretical, moral, political philosophy, sociology, comparative studies, comparative literature, religious diversity, religious studies, anthropology, and all those interested in the history of tolerance

This book explores the topic of peace and the long-term survival of the human species. Drawing on Existential Risk Studies (ERS), the book lays out a theoretical framework for drawing new perspectives and approaches for looking toward the future and addressing existential risks related to the complexity and dynamics of conflict. Looking at five research lines in Peace and Conflict Studies (PCS); (1) Great Powers Conflict, (2) Peace, Pandemic, and Conflict, (3) Climate, Peace, and Conflict, (4) Emerging Technologies, Peace, and Conflict and (5) Totalitarianism, the chapters discuss how these lines are defined and discussed, how they are understood in ERS, and what approaches would be beneficial to adapt and integrate into PCS. By drawing on ERS and grounding the discussion in lines of research that will be important to the field of PCS, this book suggests that long-term perspectives are needed in the field, especially in regard to existential risk and their implications of conflict
