Globalisierte Religion
English summary: A careful look at one's own environment is enough to show that religion is becoming increasingly globalized in the 21st century. Henrik Simojoki deals with this complex phenomenon. He begins by describing the large-scale globalization of religion from a sociological standpoint, then looks at it from the perspective of theology and in conclusion puts it into the context of the globalization debate on education. His interdisciplinary study leads to a coherent theory of religious education which he develops within the triple context of the globalized world, globalized Christianity and globalized religions. He describes the precise ways in which this theory can be used for prepa...
Anthropologies of Education
Despite international congresses and international journals, anthropologies of education differ significantly around the world. Linguistic barriers constrain the flow of ideas, which results in a vast amount of research on educational anthropology that is not published in English or is difficult for international readers to find. This volume responds to the call to attend to educational research outside the United States and to break out of “metropolitan provincialism.” A guide to the anthropologies and ethnographies of learning and schooling published in German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Slavic languages, Japanese, and English as a second language, show how scholars in Latin America, Japan, and elsewhere adapt European, American, and other approaches to create new traditions. As the contributors show, educators draw on different foundational research and different theoretical discussions. Thus, this global survey raises new questions and casts a new light on what has become a too-familiar discipline in the United States.
Anthropology
Originally published in German, Christoph Wulf’s Anthropology sets its sights on a topic as ambitious as its title suggests: anthropology itself. Arguing for an interdisciplinary and intercultural approach to anthropology that incorporates science, philosophy, history, and many other disciplines, Wulf examines—with breathtaking scope—all the ways that anthropology has been understood and practiced around the globe and through the years. Seeking a central way to understand anthropology in the midst of many different approaches to the discipline, Wulf concentrates on the human body. An emblem of society, culture, and time, the body is also the result of many mimetic processes—the active acquisition of cultural knowledge. By examining the role of the body in the performance of rituals, gestures, language, and other forms of imagination, he offers a bold new look at how culture is produced, handed down, and transformed. Drawing such examinations into a comprehensive and sophisticated assessment of the discipline as a whole, Anthropology looks squarely at the mystery of humankind and the ways we have attempted to understand it.
Bildung im Kontext von Flucht und Migration
Die Teilhabemöglichkeiten in Bildung und Ausbildung gestalten sich für Jugendliche und junge Erwachsene, die migriert bzw. geflüchtet sind, immer noch als strukturell unzureichend. Spezifische Formate, den formalen Einbezug zu gestalten, wie etwa die sogenannten Vorbereitungsklassen, gehen dabei zuweilen mit Benachteiligungen oder symbolischer Ausgrenzung einher. Institutionelle und gesellschaftliche Verhältnisse zwischen Ein- und Ausgrenzung spiegeln sich nicht zuletzt in den (Bildungs-)Biographien jener wider, die sich in diesen beweisen müssen. Der Sammelband trägt Perspektiven und Erkenntnisse zusammen, die sich kritisch mit Bildungsverhältnissen und deren Erforschung im Kontext von Flucht und Migration beschäftigen.
Multimodality, Learning and Communication
This state-of-the-art account of research and theorizing brings together multimodality, learning and communication through detailed analyses of signmakers and their meaning-making in museums, hospitals, schools and the home environment. By analyzing video recordings, photographs, screenshots and print materials, Jeff Bezemer and Gunther Kress go well beyond the comfortable domains of traditional sites of (social) semiotic and multimodal research. They steer away from spurious invention and naming of ever more new and exciting domains, focusing instead on fundamentals in assembling a set of tools for current tasks: namely, describing and analyzing learning and communication in the contemporar...
Video Conferencing
The COVID-19 pandemic has reorganized existing methods of exchange, turning comparatively marginal technologies into the new normal. Multipoint videoconferencing in particular has become a favored means for web-based forms of remote communication and collaboration without physical copresence. Taking the recent mainstreaming of videoconferencing as its point of departure, this anthology examines the complex mediality of this new form of social interaction. Connecting theoretical reflection with material case studies, the contributors question practices, politics and aesthetics of videoconferencing and the specific meanings it acquires in different historical, cultural and social contexts.
Ritual Matters
This book explores the interaction of rituals and ritualised practices utilising a cross-cultural approach. It discusses whether and why rituals are important today, and why they are possibly even more relevant than before.
Bildung im Ritual
In dieser ethnographisch angelegten Studie wird vom Schuleintrittsalter bis ins frühe Erwachsenenalter gezeigt, wie Bildungsprozesse durch und in Ritualen gestaltet werden.
