Feminist Politics
The chapters in Feminist Politics contest some of the prevailing conceptualizations of identity and difference, as well as the functions of these concepts in feminist political discourse and praxis. Doing so, they amply demonstrate that issues of identity and difference have a central place in contemporary feminist scholarship. The authors of these chapters have worked to develop new ways of understanding and living out differences that will both preserve and celebrate them while also fostering the necessary conditions for opening dialogue and forming new coalitions. These efforts intend to engender imaginative new Strategies for the personal, spiritual, and sociopolitical changes that will ...

Expanding the Economic Concept of Exchange
Exchange is a pervasive concept in everyday life, affecting phenomena as diverse as interpersonal relationships and market transactions. In addition, economists have used the concept in a highly specific and clearly delineated way. Against this background, Expanding the Economic Concept of Exchange sets out to expand the concept of exchange by crossing the boundaries laid down by economists and by examining the function played by deceptions, self-deceptions and illusions. The main motivation for expanding the concept of exchange was the realization that in the prototypical economic model deception is not taken into account. Hence, economists traditionally regard deception as some sort of irr...
Women Philosophers on Economics, Technology, Environment, and Gender History
In times of current crisis, the voices of women are needed more than ever. The accumulation of war and environmental catastrophes teaches us that exploitation of people and nature through violent appropriation and enrichment for the sake of short-term self-interest exacts its price. This book presents contributions on the currently most relevant and most urgent issues: reshaping the economy, environmental problems, technology and the re-reading of history from the non-western and western tradition. With an outlook into the problems of class, race and gender in its intersectional framing, the collection offers a unique overview of current research in these fields and contributes to the renewal and contemporary presentation of feminist thought from partly concrete perspectives with regard to factual issues.
Öffentlichkeit und Markt: Wozu ein öffentliches Bildungswesen?
Worin besteht angesichts der Herausforderungen der Globalisierung und der allgemeinen Zunahme der Privatisierung die öffentliche Verantwortung für das Bildungswesen, und speziell für die Erwachsenenbildung? Ausgabe 32 des Magazin erwachsenenbildung.at stellt sich in fünfzehn Beiträgen den Privatisierungstendenzen in der Erwachsenenbildung und einer vertieften Auseinandersetzung zwischen Öffentlichkeit, Markt und Bildung. So wird in den Beiträgen u.a. aufgezeigt, dass die Verzerrung und Überbetonung der "Kapitalisierung" mit einem entsprechenden Schwinden der sozialen Einbettung von Bildung und Lernen und deren Bedeutung für die Demokratie einhergeht. Dabei wird auch die Rolle der Erwachsenenbildungseinrichtungen in diesem Diskurs beleuchtet.
