On Behalf of the Mystical Fool
Jung's explanation of the religious tendency of the psyche addresses many sides of the contemporary debate on religion and the role that it has in individual and social life. This book discusses the emergence of a new mythic consciousness and details ways in which this consciousness supersedes traditional concepts of religion to provide a spirituality of more universal inclusion. On Behalf of the Mystical Fool examines Jung's critique of traditional western religion, demonstrating the negative consequences of religious and political collective unconsciousness, and their consequent social irresponsibility in today's culture. The book concludes by suggesting that a new religiosity and spirituality is currently emerging in the West based on the individual’s access to the sense of ultimacy residual in the psyche, and seeking expression in a myth of a much wider compass. This book will be of interest to scholars and students at all levels who are engaged in the expanding field of Jungian studies. It will also be key reading for anyone interested in the theoretical and therapeutic connections between the psyche and religious experience.
Hip-Hop in Europe
This is the first collection of essays to take a pan-European perspective in the study of hip-hop. How has it traveled to Europe? How has it developed in the various cultural contexts? How does it reference the American cultures of origin? The book's 21 authors and artists provide a comprehensive overview of hip-hop cultures in Europe, from the fringes to the centers. They address hip-hop in a variety of contexts, such as class, ethnicity, gender, history, pedagogy, performance, and (post-) communism.

Immigration and Quality of Life in Ageing Societies
This edited book argues that a new perspective on immigration is needed. As many advanced economies are ageing, and their populations stagnate or decline, immigrants are increasingly required to fill in the gaps left behind by shrinking workforces. Against this backdrop, the outdated view that it is – and can only be – a privilege for immigrants to move temporarily from less to more developed economies needs a rethink. In particular, questions about how attractive a host destination can be for immigrants; not just in economic, but also in social, political, linguistic, and cultural terms should be raised. Considering in detail the situation in Japan and Germany – Japan where there are ...

Immigrant Youth, Hip Hop, and Online Games
Anti-Muslim racism with its attendant xenophobia and (the fear of) Salafist hostility are two of the most essential problems facing Europe today. Both result from the enormous failure of the continent’s integration policies, which have either insisted on immigrants’ rigid assimilation or left immigrants to fend for themselves. This book radically breaks with contemporary approaches to immigrant assimilation and integration. Instead it examines non-institutional approaches that facilitate immigrant inclusion through the examples of three alternative small-scale projects that have impacted the lives of urban working-class youth, specifically with second-generation immigrant roots, in Vienn...

Predatory Nuns
Since the first scandals broke in the mid-1980s, the sexual misconducts of priests have cost the Catholic Church in America more than $4 billion in compensation settlements and incalculable damage to its reputation. Although their crimes have attracted far less attention, predatory nuns have also caused harm. The depredations of these nuns took place in convent novitiates, orphanages, boarding schools for Native Americans, and in Catholic schools, both elementary and secondary. Their victims, male and female, ranged in age from six-year-olds to young adults. This book focuses on the criminal behavior of North American nuns and the responses from church leadership. Mothers superior were outsp...
Texte schreiben in allen Unterrichtsfächern
Das Schreiben von Texten spielt in fast allen Unterrichtsfächern eine große Rolle, wobei das Schreiben neben seinem kognitiv-epistemischen Potenzial auch der Leistungsbeurteilung dient. Somit ist die Beurteilung von Texten eine zentrale Aufgabe aller Lehrkräfte. Aus der Perspektive der durchgängigen Sprachbildung bestehen noch viele Forschungsdesiderata im Bereich der Textbeurteilung und Schreibförderung in den einzelnen Unterrichtsfächern. Dieser Band versammelt Beiträge von Vertreter*innen der Schreibforschung, der Sprach- und sonstigen Fachdidaktiken sowie der pädagogischen Psychologie und beleuchtet das Schreiben und Beurteilen von Texten aus der Perspektive der schreibdidaktischen, der fachdidaktischen und der pädagogisch-psychologischen Forschung. Die Publikation richtet sich an alle, die die Schreibkompetenz von Schüler*innen in allen Unterrichtsfächern erforschen und fördern wollen und Schüler*innentexte auch als Indikatoren der jeweils erreichten Schreibkompetenz lesen.
DaF und DaZ im Zeichen von Tradition und Innovation
"DaF und DaZ in Zeichen von Tradition und Innovation" – so lautete das Motto der 47. Jahrestagung für Deutsch als Fremd- und Zweitsprache, die Ende März 2020 hätte stattfinden sollen. Es hat sich bereits in mehrfacher Hinsicht als passend erwiesen: So wurde die Jahrestagung kurz vor ihrer Durchführung pandemiebedingt abgesagt und nur einen Monat später – damals ganz innovativ – unter dem Namen "Marburger FaDaF-Thementage" als erste große Online-Konferenz des Fachs in den digitalen Raum überführt. Gleichzeitig ist dieser Tagungsband – ganz traditionell – der letzte, der in der Reihe "Materialien Deutsch als Fremd- und Zweitsprache" erscheint. Der Band versammelt ausgewählte...
