With a diversity-sensitive and discrimination-critical view, the anthology addresses the significance of power relations within school cultures, structures, and practices. A variety of perspectives are presented in plain and simple language as well as in specialized language. The texts by authors with very different experiences of inclusion and exclusion in the field of education provide stimuli for reflection for lecturers and students in the context of teacher education, practicing teachers, (former) students, and all other interested parties. The volume is intended to encourage readers to engage in (language-)barrier-sensitive reflection and exchange on issues of power in the context of inclusive school development

Drawing on ethnographic inquiry and the anthropological literature on doubt and atheism, this volume explores people's reluctance to pursue religion. The contributors capture the experiences of godless people and examine their perspectives on the role of religion in their personal and public lives. In doing so, the volume contributes to a critical understanding of the processes of disengagement from religion and reveals the challenges and paradoxes that godless people face

If piety, faith, and conviction constitute one side of the religious coin, then imperfection, uncertainty, and ambivalence constitute the other. Yet, scholars tend to separate these two domains and place experiences of inadequacy in everyday religious life – such as a wavering commitment, religious negligence or weakness in faith – outside the domain of religion 'proper.' Straying from the Straight Path breaks with this tendency by examining how self-perceived failure is, in many cases, part and parcel of religious practice and experience. Responding to the need for comparative approaches in the face of the largely separated fields of the anthropology of Islam and Christianity, this volume gives full attention to moral failure as a constitutive and potentially energizing force in the religious lives of both Muslims and Christians in different parts of the world

The volume "Schule und Unterricht im digitalen Wandel" (School and Teaching in the Digital Transformation) explores perspectives of reconstructive-sensual research for the study of school and teaching in the digital transformation. Four empirical studies are presented and their findings are classified theoretically and methodologically. The studies are interested in the changes as well as the stability of practices in the classroom when digital media are used. And they investigate how students and teachers interpret the transformation processes that accompany digitization. The research perspectives generated are contoured in greater depth by the discussion of the studies' findings with regard to central questions of digital transformation and its research at the end of the volume

In People's Diplomacy, Kazushi Minami shows how the American and Chinese people rebuilt US-China relations in the 1970s, a pivotal decade bookended by Richard Nixon's 1972 visit to China and 1979 normalization of diplomatic relations. Top policymakers in Washington and Beijing drew the blueprint for the new bilateral relationship, but the work of building it was left to a host of Americans and Chinese from all walks of life, who engaged in "people-to-people" exchanges. After two decades of estrangement and hostility caused by the Cold War, these people dramatically changed the nature of US-China relations. Americans reimagined China as a country of opportunities, irresistible because of its prodigious potential, while Chinese reinterpreted the United States as an agent of modernization, capable of enriching their country and rejuvenating their lives. Drawing on extensive research at two dozen archives in the United States and China, People's Diplomacy redefines contemporary US-China relations as a creation of the American and Chinese people

Long description: Ausgehend von der These, dass die ständische, hierarchisch gegliederte und gottgegebene Ordnung, in die man hinein geboren wurde, wenig aussagekräftig ist, um die gesellschaftliche Dynamik der frühen Moderne analytisch und terminologisch in den Griff zu bekommen, befassen sich die Beiträge in diesem Band mit Selbstbildungsprozessen - etwa als Katholik, als Unternehmer, als Wissenschaftler, als Arzt oder als Kunstsammler - aus praxeologischer Perspektive. Sie fragen danach, wie sich Menschen in sozialen Praktiken zum einem entwerfen, verorten und Anerkennung finden, zum anderen kulturelle Deutungsschemata im Vollzug sozialer Praktiken aktualisieren. Die dadurch entstehenden Spannungen, die praxistheoretisch unzureichend als Nichtpassungen beschrieben worden sind, werden verstanden als fruchtbare Reibungen, die Reflexivität und Kritik ermöglichen und somit die Voraussetzung gesellschaftlichen Wandels darstellen

Chancengleichheit, Frauenquote, Diversity, Entgeltgleichheit, Mixed Leadership und Work-Life-Balance sind aktuell intensiv diskutierte Fragestellungen, für die vielen Unternehmen noch praxistaugliche Antworten fehlen. Das (Top-)Management ist - wie vor Jahrzehnten - häufig frauenfrei, und das Potenzial der gut ausgebildeten Frauen wird bisher nur partiell in den Unternehmen genutzt. Dieses Buch zeigt anschaulich und gut verständlich den aktuellen Forschungs- und Wissensstand zu Frauen im Management auf. Neben Zahlen und Fakten werden verschiedene Erklärungsmodelle für die bestehenden Geschlechterungleichheiten dargestellt und diskutiert (z. B. Geschlechtsstereotype, Diskriminierungen, mangelnde Vereinbarkeit von Karriere und Familie, falsche Berufsentscheidungen, geringerer Karrierewille). Darauf aufbauend werden konkrete Handlungsmöglichkeiten für Unternehmen aufgezeigt und Hinweise für Führungskräfte sowie Empfehlungen für karriereambitionierte Frauen gegeben. Verschiedene Ansatzpunkte, um einen höheren Frauenanteil im Management zu erreichen und nachhaltig zu sichern, werden erläutert. Die dargestellten Maßnahmen reichen von der Arbeitszeitgestaltung über ein gendersensibles Vorgehen im Recruitingprozess (Stellenausschreibung, Personalmarketing, Personalauswahl) bis hin zur Erfüllung rechtlicher Vorgaben. Verschiedene Beispiele aus der Praxis runden den Band ab

Long description: Wodurch überzeugt das Fernsehen? Was ist sein kommunikatives Potenzial? Dieser Band wirft einen völlig neuen, rhetoriktheoretischen Blick auf das Medium Fernsehen, der nicht nach der Überzeugungskraft einzelner Sendungen oder Institutionen fragt, sondern nach der kommunikativen Struktur des Mediums. Die Rhetoriker Joachim Knape und Anne Ulrich greifen dafür zentrale Konzepte aus der »Fernsehwissenschaft« heraus, diskutieren diese aus rhetorischer Perspektive und entwerfen ein Leistungsprofil des Mediums, das es erlaubt, erfolgversprechende Darstellungs- und Präsentationstechniken im Fernsehen zu bestimmen. Dies ermöglicht eine Neukonzeption des Mediums und gleichzeitig einen Überblick über die zentralen theoretischen Begriffe zum Fernsehen

Co-designing Infrastructures tells the story of a research programme designed to bring the power of engineering and technology into the hands of grassroots community groups, to create bottom-up solutions to global crises. Four projects in London are described in detail, exemplifying community collaboration with engineers, designers and scientists to enact urban change. The projects co-designed solutions to air pollution, housing, the water-energy-food nexus, and water management. Rich case-study accounts are underpinned by theories of participation, environmental politics and socio-technical systems. The projects at the heart of the book are grounded in specific settings facing challenges familiar to urban communities throughout the world. This place-based approach to infrastructure is of international relevance as a foundation for urban resilience and sustainability. The authors document the tools used to deliver this work, providing guidance for others who are working to deliver local technical solutions to complex social and environmental problems around the world. This is a book for engineers, designers, community organisers and researchers. Co-authored by researchers, it includes voices of community collaborators, their experiences, frustrations and aspirations. It explores useful theories about infrastructure, engineering and resilience from international academic research, and situates them in community-based co-design experience, to explain why bottom-up approaches are needed and how they might succeed
