"Europe" Turned Local - The Local Turned European?

This book draws theoretically and methodologically from the sociology of curriculum, educational policy, and comparative education to meta-analyze the findings of nine separate studies exploring constructions of "Europe" in the secondary school curricula of Social Studies from a number of countries: Germany, Greece, France, Poland, Cyprus, Sweden, Ireland, and Northern Ireland, as well as the Autonomous Community of the Basque Country (Spain). The objectives of the book are threefold: first, to explore constructions of "Europe" and "European identity-citizenship" in these countries' curricula; second, to explore whether, and, if so, how these findings indicate a "Europeanization" of national curricula; and third, to discuss the similarities, differences, continuities, discontinuities, and tensions identified when comparing these curricula.

Defending God

Defending God

In the ancient Near East, when the gods detected gross impropriety in their ranks, they subjected their own to trial. When mortals suspect their gods of wrongdoing, do they have the right to put them on trial? What lies behind the human endeavor to impose moral standards of behavior on the gods? Is this effort an act of arrogance, as Kant suggested, or a means of keeping theological discourse honest? It is this question James Crenshaw seeks to address in this wide-ranging study of ancient theodicies. Crenshaw has been writing about and pondering the issue of theodicy - the human effort to justify the ways of the gods or God - for many years. In this volume he presents a synthesis of his ideas on this perennially thorny issue. The result sheds new light on the history of the human struggle with this intractable problem.

"Und am Morgen Freude"

  • Publisher: Peter Lang

Humboldts texttheoretischer Ansatz, dessen Einfluß auf die moderne (Text-)Linguistik größer ist als bisher wahrgenommen, wird im ersten Teil dieses Bandes erstmals zusammenhängend nachgewiesen. Einige der Gedanken Humboldts zu Sprache und Sprechen weisen über unseren heutigen Stand noch hinaus, z. B. seine Betonung emotiver Aspekte der Kommunikation. Der zweite Teil, ein Beitrag zur Psalmenexegese, veranschaulicht und vertieft die gewonnenen Thesen zur Textlinguistik anhand einer Interpretation von Psalm 4. Dabei überschneiden sich Literatur- und Sprachwissenschaft. Die interdisziplinäre Arbeit bietet einen gut verständlichen Einblick in Inhalte und Methoden beider Teilgebiete: der Textlinguistik wie der alttestamentlichen Exegese. Fast beiläufig und wie von selbst berühren die Untersuchungen den ethischen Aspekt von Sprache, etwa in der Frage: Inwieweit beeinflussen unsere Texte im Kopf unser Handeln?
