Nach mehr als 30 Jahren Lehrtätigkeit als Soziologin verabschiedet sich Prof. Dr. Ilse Dröge-Modelmog von der Carl von Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg. Sie hat sich für ihren Abschied eine Feier gewünscht, die nicht so sehr aus fachwissenschaftlichen Beiträgen und der fachlichen Würdigung ihres vielfältigen Schaffens besteht, vielmehr hoffte sie auf die neugierige und erheiternde Seite von Soziologie, von Frauen- und Geschlechterforschung und von universitärer Lehre. Mit den verschiedenen Beiträgen von Luise Berthe-Corti, Ilse Dröge-Modelmog, Marianne Friese, Barbara Thiessen, Kathrin Heinz, Heinz-Dieter Loeber, Kirsten-Smilla Ebeling, Jens Thiele, Daniel Mülder, Nicole Hummel, Mona Motakef, Yvonne Bauer, Ute Jeß-Desaever, Anita Raddatz, Lydia Potts und Deidre Graydon soll das vielfältige wissenschaftliche Spektrum ihres Schaffens und ihr besonderes Engagement für inter- oder transdisziplinäre Forschung gewürdigt werden.

The premise of this working paper is an examination of prevalent industrial online media platforms which are indicated by club cultural actors as being without any (socio-economic) alternative in club cultures, and the impact of cultural private partnerships on club culture structures in general: With the advancement of digitization and the demise of special interest print media, emerging platform capitalist online media and social media became the most relevant channels and socio-economic structures to generate visibility and attention for actors in the club cultures - a contemporary club cultural affordance. While emancipatory positions increasingly express their critical views and bring attention to structural problems within the club cultures, a blind spot remains in spite of the widespread use of social media and it's inherent problematic logic of representative inequality. The reluctance of such platforms to effectively address issues of, e.g. right-wing populism and hate speech, bullying, as well as refraining from manipulative design practices and capitalizing upon private user data, remarkably contradicts the historically grounded and prevailing self-perception of values and norms in club cultures. From the second half of the 1990s onwards, the inner colonization of club cultures accelerated along the rise of long-term cultural private partnerships which not only shaped the production and reception of club culture historiography, but also form careers and enhance the visibility of club cultural actors. The impact of commissioned contributions to value chains of club cultures is questionable, and their economic circumstances seem to at least promote undifferentiated opinions - on an industrial level and scale. New club cultural generations socialise with the naturalised expectation of cultural content always being free of charge, of cultural work and efforts as ubiquitous commodities. This comes at a price as it transforms the credibility of club cultures' key values and norms, furthermore eroding its independent structures and socio-economic conditions. Not only did the pandemic years prove that the economic system of club culture, in particular that of electronic club music, is in a structural crisis. From grassroots to key players: actors jumping off this bandwagon are rare, as dependency, opportunism and impotence seem to proliferate a narrative of a system without alternatives. This working paper offers to reflect upon the use of problematic platforms by and the impact of cultural private partnerships on club culture structures. In this context, capitalist realism is being used as a concept to describe a status quo and the process of commodification, to discern processes bearing down on the socio-economic structures of house and techno music as a particular example. Finally, this paper suggests to unlearn the mediated images of a parasitic, exploitative industry and instead get inspired by the emancipatory project, that the club cultures of house and techno music in particular had once been, as a driving force for sustainable socio-economic transformation processes in club cultures.

The study of postcolonial literature and culture corresponds with recent developments in the didactics of foreign language teaching at the advanced secondary school level and, for that matter, at the university level as well. This article aims to highlight three significant interfaces connecting postcolonial and didactic discourse. Firstly, the challenge posed by the "center" to the "periphery" implies a radical change in perspective and consciousness. In parallel, modern didactics have been advocating a transition from a teacher-oriented to a student-oriented approach, as part of a paradigm shift from "instructivism" to "constructivism," emphasizing a high degree of self-determination and learner autonomy. Secondly, the dialectics of "self" and "other" involve a dual search for identity, which is directed both inwardly and outwardly. What holds true for individual students and their peer groups during adolescence is, to a varying extent, applicable to many postcolonial communities during their extended journey of rediscovering self-awareness and self-respect. Thirdly, the significance of the intercultural learning process, often associated with empathy, becomes evident in Postcolonial Studies, the foreign language classroom, and academic discourse.

Given the conceptual confusion that exists about the term euthanasia, the objective of this monograph consists of elucidating the sense and reach of this expression, from a legal and penal perspective, and by so doing, determine what behaviors are legally relevant and which should be necessarily excluded from the ius poniendi ambit.As a next step, the author analyses the determining elements of the euthanistic behavior, always considered from a penal perspective.Once the reach of the expression is determined, it is possible to analyze such behavior from the perspective of its objective classification for an ulterior brief reviewing of some Latin American normatives that clearly typify such behaviors.Finally, the ethical and legal feasibility of a legislation properly euthanistic will be analysed in the light of the principle of human dignity , explicitly or implicitly recognized by the main international instruments and by all the political codes of the social and democratic States of right. ; Dada la confusión conceptual que existe en relación con la expresión eutanasia, el objetivo de la presente monografía consiste, precisamente, en dilucidar el sentido y alcance de esta expresión desde una perspectiva jurídico-penal, para así poder determinar qué conductas son penalmente relevantes y cuáles deben ser necesariamente excluidas del ámbito del ius puniendi.Como paso siguiente, el autor analiza los elementos determinantes de las conductas eutanásicas, consideradas siempre desde la perspectiva penal. Una vez precisado el alcance de la expresión, es posible analizar dichas conductas desde el punto de vista de su tipificación objetiva, para revisar, posteriormente, algunas legislaciones latinoamericanas que tipifican expresamente dichas prácticas.Finalmente, se analizará la factibilidad ética y jurídica de una legislación propiamente eutanásica, a la luz del principio de la dignidad de la persona humana, reconocido -explícita o implícitamente- por los principales instrumentos internacionales y por todas los códigos ...
