Pursuit of Pattern Languages for Societal Change - PURPLSOC

The international PURPLSOC (In Pursuit of Pattern Languages for Societal Change) platform aims to substantiate the relevance of Christopher Alexander’s pattern language approach in all major domains by showing its broad applicability and richness and bringing best practice examples from outside the scientific community into research. This anthology of 19 papers, proceedings of the PURPLSOC 2015 World Conference held at Danube University Krems in Austria, is the first outcome of this discussion and reflection. The papers bring a manifold and broad overview of the current state of the implementation of Alexander’s ideas in divergent fields. Additionally, PURPLSOC offers a platform for the research and discussion of Alexander’s most recent work: “The Nature of Order: An Essay on the Art of Building and the Nature of the Universe” (2004). The four volumes explore the “living process” with its “15 structure-preserving transformations” applied in the “unfolding of wholeness”.

Pursuit of Pattern Languages for Societal Change – PURPLSOC

We live in a time of social and cultural change. Old patterns are losing their validity and relevance, new patterns are needed and in demand. We need a new approach which can formulate, generate and engage such patterns. The pattern language approach of Christopher Alexander serves this purpose – the interdisciplinary and participatory building blocks for societal change. The PURPLSOC 2017 conference contributions cover 25 domains – from anthropology and automation to political science and systems science – for a comprehensive perspective of current pattern research and practice.

Künstlerisch-pädagogische Weiterbildungen für Kunst- und Kulturschaffende

Der vorliegende Sammelband berichtet von konzeptionellen Ansätzen entwickelter Weiterbildungen für Kunst- und Kulturschaffende. Die Beiträge machen deutlich, dass neben der Vermittlung von methodischen Kenntnissen und theoretischen Grundlagen der Kulturellen Bildung auch die Entwicklung einer pädagogischen Haltung einen Ansatzpunkt bildet, um das neu angeeignete Handlungsrepertoire für die Gestaltung pädagogischer Beziehungen anzuwenden. Der Band bietet die Gelegenheit, sich einen Überblick über unterschiedliche innovative Weiterbildungskonzepte in der Kulturellen Bildung zu verschaffen. Ausführlich diskutieren die Beiträge die konkreten Herausforderungen, die mit der Umsetzung solcher Weiterbildungskonzepte verbunden sind.

Die stille Dimension der Bildung

In den 1970er Jahren entsteht in der katholischen Gemeinde einer westdeutschen Kleinstadt die Jugendinitiative "Club75". Wie kam es dazu? Anhand von Gesprächen zwischen damaligen Mitgliedern untersucht Kathrin Witek, angelehnt an die Methode der Kollektiven Erinnerungsarbeit, das ›urwüchsige‹, nicht formalisierte Zusammentreffen der beteiligten Menschen, die in dieser soziokulturellen Initiative aktiv wurden und dabei sich und die Institution bildeten. Ausgehend insbesondere von Michael Polanyis "Implizitem Wissen" betrachtet die Autorin, wie sich Bildungsprozesse als Wechselspiel von Theorie und Empirie gestalten und wie die Beteiligten diese lebensgeschichtlich bearbeiten. Dabei deckt sie die Prozesshaftigkeit von Bildung als stets subjektive Erfahrungsproduktion auf, die sich in der heutigen Forschungssituation für die damaligen Club-Mitglieder erneut aktualisiert und eine kollektive Dimension deutlich werden lässt. Witeks Studie wird so zum Plädoyer dafür, die Personen- und Situationsgebundenheit von Bildungsprozessen auch in Forschungsprozessen immer mitzudenken und zu erspüren.
