AbstractAs a distinctive voice in the current philosophy of technology, postphenomenology elucidates various ways of how technologies "shape" both the world (or objectivity) and humans (or subjectivity) in it. Distancing itself from more speculative approaches, postphenomenology advocates the so-called empirical turn in philosophy of technology: It focuses on diverse effects of particular technologies instead of speculating on the essence of technology and its general impact. Critics of postphenomenology argue that by turning to particularities and emphasizing that technologies are always open to different uses and interpretations, postphenomenology becomes unable to realize how profoundly technology determines our being in the world. Seeking to evaluate the postphenomenological (in)ability to radically reflect on the human being conditioned by technology, I discuss the two most pertinent criticisms of postphenomenology: an "existential" one by Robert C. Scharff and an "ontological" one by Jochem Zwier, Vincent Blok, and Pieter Lemmens. Assessing the ontological alternative, I point to incapacity of Heidegger's concept of Enframing to do justice to material technologies. Simultaneously, I acknowledge the necessity of speculating on (the concept of) technology as transcending concrete technologies. Such speculating would be instrumental in reviving Ihde's idea of non-neutrality of technology in its full philosophical potency.

Since beginning of the democratic transformation 1993 began a liberalisation course of the Cambodian media system. Many new media companies developed. Despite this positive development, numerous deficits can be determined. Media are in the possession of the government, contents are controlled and journalists are not enough qualified. These deficits will stop the next years. A large step toward democratic system is not to be expected. Introductory this article shows the structure of the media systems of Cambodia. It is basis for the next articles. The next articles analyze, in what respect the mass media the Khmer-Rouge-Trial support. 15 students answered to this question from different view. Thus arrive the political participants, the medium enterprises and the recipients into the focus. The students will show whether mass media contribute to the acceptability of the Khmer- Rouge-Trial. ; Since beginning of the democratic transformation 1993 began a liberalisation course of the Cambodian media system.

Die Autorin beleuchtet die Entstehung transkultureller Deutungsräume im postsowjetischen Russland im Spannungsverhältnis zwischen Öffentlichkeit und Privatheit. Obwohl die kommunistische Gesellschaft der Sowjetunion das Ziel der Gleichheit von Männern und Frauen anstrebte, wurde letztlich nur erreicht, dass die Frauen in die Erwerbsarbeit integriert wurden, nicht aber die Männer in die Familienarbeit. Auf diese Weise hat sich eine Hierarchie zwischen den Geschlechtern etabliert, die auch die Ausgangslage für die Neugestaltung der Gesellschaft im postsowjetischen Russland bestimmte. Die Autorin zeigt anhand einer Analyse von biographischen Interviews, wie russische Frauen und Männer ihre heutige Situation reflektieren und ihre Privatsphäre und sozialen Beziehungen gestalten. Dabei werden insbesondere zwei Aspekte deutlich: bei den Frauen die Verwandlung von Hausherrinnen in Hausfrauen und die damit verbundene Gestaltung des emotional aufgeladenen Heims und bei den Männern eine zunehmende Individualisierung und Rationalisierung ihres inneren Erlebens als ein Resultat ihrer starken Berufsorientierung. Das Aufeinandertreffen sowjetisch-russischer und westlich-globaler Deutungsmuster führt zu einer Neugestaltung der Privatheit, welche dadurch zu einem transkulturellen Raum wird, in dem die neuen Deutungen ausgehandelt und in neuen sozialen Praktiken erprobt werden.

Station-based carsharing systems are regularly seen as key building blocks for a successful sustainability transition of municipal mobility systems. While numerous studies deal with the optimal distribution of carsharing stations from a business perspective, none explores which spatial and temporal patterns shape the development of carsharing station networks, even though sustainability transitions and their patterns are perceived as strictly place-specific. This study uses a comparative cross-case analysis of five southwest German cities to reveal similarities in spatial and temporal patterns. The analysis differentiates between 'efficient causes', described by structural and social demographic characteristics of cities, and 'final causes', described by the causal pathway development of municipal carsharing policy. Results reveal that despite the different city characteristics and causal pathways, the spatial evolution of station-based carsharing systems follow similar growth paths, tending towards consolidation of carsharing patterns regardless of municipal support. The study adds to our understanding of mobility transitions and casts doubt on the ability of current station-based carsharing systems to shift municipal mobility systems towards ecological sustainability.
