Pedagogical work requires the willingness to engage with new situations and with people in their diversity. This book does not offer any simple recipes, but a gentle approach to important steps towards professionalisation in the teaching profession. These lead via an open attitude of perception and the inclusion of corporeality to an insight into how learning and teaching processes can be understood in a new or different way. With vignettes and examples from different pedagogical fields, the theoretical concepts are presented and reflected on their application. The book contains an English-language and a Greek-language version.
This Open-Access-book explores diversity in its ambivalence. On the one side, we love to describe diversity as a resource for personal, social, economic, and cultural growth. On the other side, categories of differences often lead to discrimination or serve as justifications for privileges. They can cause exclusion and, conversely, promote the self-constitution of discriminated subjects and groups.The book moves within this tension of exclusion and belonging. Case studies of young ethnicized people vividly depict the interwovenness of identity-building and diversity. Theoretically, the book examines the psychosocial and anthropological conditions for constructing the Other. Sharp divisions between We and the Other, between social and national groups, and between humans and nature have devastating, life-threatening consequences. Dichotomous split-offs divide people, nations and the whole world. So, how do we deal with diversity? The author does not provide simple recipes but engages in a phenomenology of diversity that does not press life and its manifestations into categories but keeps them in a limbo of attention by affirming and doubting differences.
What does education mean? Education establishes a relationship between the subject and the world, according to the premise of this volume - education is understood as inevitably social. The authors provide an overview of the socio-educational discourse on education based on the three subject areas of social education with theoretical considerations, education and social work as well as education in child and youth welfare.
Diese bisher umfassendste Monographie über die bildende Kunst zur Zeit Goethes bietet eine sozialgeschichtlich fundierte Darstellung der Kunstverhältnisse und -strömungen dieser Epoche. Der Autor beschreibt Wirkungsstrategien, signifikante Themen und Motive der Malerei, Graphik und Plastik und vermittelt damit ein ganz neues Bild dieser von Umbruch und Innovation geprägten Epoche der Kunstgeschichte.
Introduction by Christoph Eggenberger. Texts by Bice Curiger, Jaqueline Burckhardt, Isabel Schulz and Werner Hofmann among others. Swiss artist Meret Oppenheim remained for a long time in the shadow of the surrealists who were her friends. When, in 1936, she made the "fur teacup", however, she created an icon of twentieth-century art. The fame she gained for her "fur teacup"as well as Man Ray's photographs of her from the 1930s caused her to become an icon herself. In this beautiful and thorough retrospective of her work, Oppenheim's geometric and organic sculptures, drawings, collages and objects merit attention beyond the confines of surrealism, addressing themes such as the role of women as artists and the individual in relation to Nature.
