The book provides - for the first time in the German-speaking world - a comprehensive scientific contribution to the reappraisal of sexualized violence in a psychotherapy institute. The qualitative case study takes a look at decades of abuse of power and sexualized violence by the director of an analytical institute for children and young people. It shows that the psychotherapists involved in this system do not live up to central ideas and concepts of their profession: Silence, denial, rationalization, rejection of responsibility, and ignorance of those affected have for a long time prevented the uncovering of the acts and sustainable forms of coming to terms with them. The life of the insti...
Civil Democracy Protection is an overview of attempts by organisations to oppose groups that are perceived to threaten democracy. The book traces the history of civil democracy protection actors from the establishment of democratic constitutional states up to the present day and develops a set of systematic and comparative approaches. The central question it explores is: What significance do civil actors have for the establishment and consolidation of democratic constitutional states, especially in relation to the protection of democracy by state institutions? The volume includes contributions from historians and social scientists, who combine idiographic approaches that focus on the specifi...
Football in Central-Eastern and Eastern Europe has long functioned as a carrier of the three “non-normal” socio-political drivers that were effective below the surface of modernity, including the official self-image of European political systems, since the second half of the 20th century: Tribal Politics, Imaginal Politics, and Contextual Politics. All three are trends that are currently surfacing prominently on an international and global level. Long before the return of the now proverbial “Political Tribes” by the means of populisms and neo-authoritarianisms in societies around the world, football in Central-Eastern and Eastern Europe worked as a subconscious vehicle of group insti...
This study is dedicated to the postcolonial preservation of cultural heritage and restitution policies within the framework of the Charter for African Cultural Renaissance as a Pan-African instrument of international law. The author – holder of the UNESCO Chair in International Relations and vice president of the curatorium of the African Institute of International Law (AIIL) – analyses the multifaceted significance of the Charter as well as the role of the African Union, UNESCO and Western museums regarding specifically the return of cultural goods from colonial contexts. The work further illustrates how the international discourse is shifting towards an active support for reconciliation and return processes.
Wie gelingt es der AfD, dass sich deren Unterstützer*innen bei einer für viele Menschen abstoßenden Partei wohlfühlen? Florian Spissinger hat Vortragsveranstaltungen, Stammtische und Wahlkampfstände der AfD ethnografisch beobachtet und Gespräche vor Ort geführt. Sichtbar geworden ist eine neurechte Gefühlsgemeinschaft, an der kritische Einwände wirkungslos abprallen und für die sich die Ablehnung von Zuwanderung und Klimaschutz gut und clever anfühlt.
Sowohl „Sicherheit“ als auch „Medien“ sind Begriffe, die in den unterschiedlichsten Zusammenhängen verwendet werden. Mit „Sicherheit“ wird meist ein zutiefst subjektives Gefühl der Unversehrtheit und Unbedrohtheit bezeichnet; der Begriff „Medien“ verweist entweder auf die Gesamtheit der Massenmedien oder bezeichnet speziell „neue Medien“ im technischen Sinn, die durch veränderte Kommunikationsmöglichkeiten verschiedene Sicherheitsaspekte beeinflussen können. Dieser wechselseitige Zusammenhang von Sicherheit und Medien unter dem Einfluss der Globalisierung ist das Thema dieses Buches. Es beschreibt die Interessen verschiedener Akteure unter neuen Kommunikationsbedingungen und die Reaktionen, die im Zuge der technologischen und politischen Veränderungen seit dem Ende des Ost-West-Konflikts zu beobachten sind.
Warum schließen sich in Deutschland sozialisierte junge Frauen salafitischen Gruppierungen an? Welche biographischen Funktionen werden durch Hinwendungsprozesse zur fundamentalistischen Ideologie des Salafismus erfüllt, welche Bedürfnisse hierdurch befriedigt? Laura Dickmann-Kacskovics zeichnet auf Basis narrativer Interviews mit Anhängerinnen des Salafismus einzelne Lebensgeschichten sowie Handlungs- und Orientierungsmuster junger Salafitinnen nach. Ihre Erkenntnisse über die Hinwendungsprozesse zum Fundamentalismus bieten eine empirisch fundierte Grundlage, auf der geschlechterspezifische Angebote der Prävention und Distanzierung vom (gewaltlegitimierenden) Salafismus entwickelt werden können.

Summary: After Old Beaver runs away because the other animals are going to replace him with a younger beaver who can build better dams, the animals decide that he is still valuable and that they want him back
A mysterious visitor, a secret parcel, and globe-trotting spies For the first time, I was going to see the bold, courageous, and mysterious Matt Barnes. He disappeared from civilization for years at a time. Where had he been-the Mendenhall Ice Caves in Alaska? Pharaoh's Treasury in Jordan's Petra? Wherever he had been, he suddenly reappeared. What would coax Matt Barnes to return to the civilized world? Then Matt Barnes stepped into view. Under a brimmed hat and long leathery overcoat, the superhero globetrotter was here. But Matt Barnes came and went in a single night. He disappeared again, leaving me a mysterious package-the wrapping had no name, address, or markings to show where it came from. And I quickly discovered I wasn't the only one who desperately wanted what was inside.
