Politics and Guilt
Politics and Guilt sheds new light on our understanding of the pervasive psychological and cultural effects of Nazism by examining the power of guilt in modern Germany. Usually seen as a psychological and intensely personal phenomenon, the effect of guilt on the collective arena of politics has been downplayed or misunderstood by many political scientists. Taking issue with Hannah Arendt, Daniel Goldhagen, and Hermann L_bbe, Gesine Schwan argues that Germans must confront their Nazi past because the repression or lack of acknowledgment of guilt damages modern democracies. The Nazi perpetrators were not above the norms of good and evil, she asserts, but were conscious of their guilt and silent about it. The widespread psychological guilt in them and their descendents has adversely affected perceptions of political responsibility, marriage, and child rearing in modern Germany. ø At a moment when past crimes are being exposed, reparation demands are increasingly common, and world leaders are apologizing and making amends for past mistakes and injustices, Schwan's analysis is timely and thoughtful, standing as the most sophisticated consideration of guilt in politics to date.

Triumph and Trauma
This book deals with triumphant and tragic heroes, with victims and perpetrators as archetypes of the Western imagination. A major recent change in Western societies is that memories of triumphant heroism-for example, the revolutionary uprising of the people-are increasingly replaced by the public remembrance of collective trauma of genocide, slavery and expulsion. The first part of the book deals with the heroes and victims and explores the social construction of charisma and its inevitable decay. Part 2 focuses on a paradigm case of the collective trauma of perpetrators: German national identity between 1945 and 2000. After a time of latency, the legacy of nationalistic trauma was addressed in a public conflict between generations. The conflict took center stage in vivid public debates and became a core element of Germany's official political culture. Today public confessions of the guilt of the past have spread beyond the German case. They are part of a new post-utopian pattern of collective identity in a globalised setting.
Warum macht Integration schlau?
Die hier versammelten Texte aus Wissenschaft und Praxis sind Basisliteratur für Eltern, Erzieher, Pädagogen, Politiker, Lehrer und Wissenschaftler. Sie können dazu beitragen, verborgene BefürworterInnen inklusiver Bildungsprozesse aus ihrer Defensive herauszulocken und sie ermutigen, eine offene, gesellschaftliche Debatte über ein innovatives, inklusives Schulsystem zu führen. Debatte und konkreter Umbau unseres Schulsystems gehen dabei Hand in Hand.

Der Schulddiskurs in der frühen Nachkriegszeit
Die Untersuchung beantwortet die Frage, wie in der deutschen Nachkriegszeit der Jahre 1945 bis 1955 über die Schuld der Deutschen geredet wurde. Dieser Nachkriegsdiskurs wird unterschieden nach den drei Sprecherperspektiven Opfer, Täter und Nichttäter und als Umbruch der deutschen Sprachgeschichte nach 1945 bewertet. Methodisch ist die Arbeit als diskurs- und argumentationsanalytisch orientierte kulturwissenschaftliche Sprachgeschichte des 20. Jahrhunderts angelegt. Der Schulddiskurs ist insofern ein Phänomen des sprachlichen Umbruchs nach 1945, als zum ersten Mal im Neuhochdeutschen überhaupt ein Diskurs zu einer Schuld, wie die des Nationalsozialismus, nachweisbar ist, an dem sich eine, nach ethisch-moralischen bzw. rechtlichen Kategorien unterscheidbare Diskursgemeinschaft beteiligt. Deren jeweiliger Beitrag besteht in der Dokumentation der Gewalt (Opfer), in Strategien der Schuldabwehr und Rechtfertigung (Täter) und in der Konstruktion und Demontage von Identität (Nichttäter).
