Onze waarden? Welke toekomst voor het humanisme?
Welke rol mogen levensbeschouwingen spelen in het onderwijs? Waar liggen de grenzen van het multiculturele samenleven? Hoe tolerant kun je zijn voor intolerantie? Wat is de rol van het actief pluralisme? Hoe verhoudt het humanisme zich tot ecologie? Is een moraal mogelijk zonder god? De Vrijzinnige dienst van de Universiteit Antwerpen nodigde tijdens de lezingencyclus "Onze waarden? Welke toekomst voor het humanisme?" Dirk Verhofstadt, Wim van Rooy, Floris van den Berg, Raymonda Verdyck, Magda Michielsens, Ronald Commers en Benno Barnard uit om zich hierover uit te spreken. Jurgen Slembrouck bundelde hun lezingen.
Voorbij het atheïsme
Sinds de aanslagen van 9/11 is er bij vrijzinnige humanisten opnieuw veel aandacht voor het atheïsme. In die mate zelfs dat er sprake is van een 'Nieuw Atheïsme'. Hoewel de argumenten die worden aangedragen zelden origineel zijn, is de toon en stijl van deze nieuwe atheïsten dat wel. Zonder schroom en volgens sommigen ook zonder 'respect' wordt de onredelijkheid, schadelijkheid en overbodigheid van het godsgeloof aan de kaak gesteld. Lijden de nieuwe atheïsten aan een tunnelvisie door opnieuw te focussen op het godsgeloof? Is hun pleidooi nog wel relevant nu in geseculariseerde samenlevingen het geloof steeds meer verdampt? Zijn vragen die peilen naar de inhoud en de invloed van het godsgeloof ook de meest belangrijke vragen die humanisten zich stellen? Of gaat het hen om iets anders? Om iets voorbij het atheïsme?
Sektarische bewegingen
De kennis van het sektarische fenomeen is in politionele en juridische kringen fragmentarisch en uitermate beperkt. Zo loopt de informatie-uitwisseling en coördinatie van strafrechtelijke onderzoeken vaak mank, wat versterkt wordt door het gebrek aan mensen en middelen. De COVID-19-crisis brengt de problematiek van sektarische ontsporingen opnieuw in de schijnwerpers. Zo signaleerde de Belgische sektewaakhond IACSSO een toenemend aantal onrustwekkende meldingen: de volksgezondheid komt in het gevaar doordat sekten preventieve en vaccinatie-inspanningen dreigen te ondermijnen. De terreuraanslagen in Europa leidden tot een heroriëntatie van mensen en middelen naar het contra-terrorisme. De s...
Monolingual Policies in Multilingual Schools
This book shows that teachers at monolingual schools in Brussels approach their multilingual pupils in quite ambivalent ways (severely imposing the school language, but also recognizing pupils' multilingualism). Underlining this ambivalence is important because the scientific literature typically prefers a focus on teachers who either support or suppress their pupils' multilingualism. Much ordinary, inconsistent, teacher behavior thus falls off the radar, while those teachers who appear in the literature are either praised (as critical) or blamed (as ideologically deceived). This book thus explores uncharted territory, it explains teachers' inconsistency as a type of thinking, and it suggests that we can evaluate their behavior in more complex terms than simply good or bad.
Discourse and Knowledge
Both 'discourse' and 'knowledge' are fundamental concepts, but they are often treated separately. The first book to adopt a multidisciplinary approach to studying the relationship between these concepts, Discourse and Knowledge introduces the new field of epistemic discourse analysis and uses a wide range of examples to illustrate the theory.
The Multilingual Edge of Education
This book highlights the need to develop new educational perspectives in which multilingualism is valorised and strategically used in settings and contexts of instruction and learning. Situated in the current educational debate about multilingualism and ethno-linguistic minorities, chapter authors examine the polarised response to heightened linguistic diversity and how the debate is very much premised on binary views of monolingualism and multi- or bilingualism. Contributors argue that the diverse linguistic backgrounds of immigrant and minority students should be considered an asset, instead of being regarded as a barrier to teaching and learning. From its title through to its conclusion, this book underlines the current perspective of multilingualism as possessing cutting edge potential for transforming diverse classrooms into more inhabitable, more equitable and more efficiently organised spaces for learning. This book will be of interest to scholars and researchers in educational linguistics, applied linguistics, sociolinguistics, anthropological linguistics, pedagogics, educational studies, and educational anthropology.
Moroccan Migration in Belgium
First volume in the new series CeMIS Migration and Intercultural Studies Moroccans are one of the largest and most debated migrant groups in Belgium. Moroccan Migration in Belgium analyses diverse facets of this community from a multidisciplinary perspective and addresses the most relevant and some underexposed topics in the rapidly developing field of migration studies. Combining various academic disciplines and different research methods, the book offers a panoramic introspection into the dynamic nature of migration studies in general and Moroccan studies in particular. The contributions of established academics and young researchers will not only appeal to scientific peers working on this...
Language in Late Modernity
Provides a sociolinguistic account of classroom interaction, based on research in an inner-city high school.
Methods of Critical Discourse Analysis
This book is designed as an introduction to Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and gives an overview of the various theories and methods associated with this sociolinguistic approach. It also introduces the reader to the leading figures in CDA and the methods to which they are most closely related. The text aims to provide a comprehensive description of the individual methods, an understanding of the theories to which methods refer and a comparative treatment of each of these methods so that students may be able to determine which is the most appropriate to select for their particular research question. Given the balance between theory and application, plus the intended audience - no previous knowledge of CDA is assumed - Methods of Critical Discourse Analysis should be useful reading for both students and researchers in the fields of linguistics, sociology, social psychology and the social sciences in general.
