Dare To Dream is about exploring how amazing and fulfilling life can be, if only we would dare to dream - for how can you follow your dreams if you don't dream in the first place?

This book unlocks the look, sound, smell, taste, and feel of justice for massive human rights abuses. Twenty-nine expert authors examine the dynamics of the five human senses in how atrocity is perceived, remembered, and condemned. This book is chockful of images. It serves up remarkably diverse content. It treks around the globe: from Pacific war crimes trials in the aftermath of the Second World War to Holocaust proceedings in contemporary Germany, France, and Israel; from absurd show trials in Communist Czechoslovakia to international courtrooms in Arusha, Phnom Penh, and The Hague. Readers embark on a journey that transcends myriad dimensions, including photographic representations of gr...
Heinrich Heine's role in the formation of Critical Theory has been systematically overlooked in the course of the successful appropriation of his thought by Marx, Nietzsche, Freud, and the legacy they left, in particular for Adorno, Benjamin and the Frankfurt School. This book examines the critical connections that led Adorno to call for a “reappraisal” of Heine in a 1948 essay that, published posthumously, remains under-examined. Tracing Heine's Jewish difference and its liberating comedy of irreverence in the thought of the Frankfurt School, the book situates the project of Critical Theory in the tradition of a praxis of critique, which Heine elevates to the art of public controversy. ...
Digitale Bildungstechnologien (EdTech) wecken hohe Erwartungen und sind Bestandteil diverser Versprechen in puncto Individualisierung, Entlastung oder selbstgesteuertes Lernen. Doch was steckt wirklich in diesen Technologien und welche Folgen ergeben sich hieraus für die Pädagogik? Ausgehend vom Ziel einer reflektierten Gestaltung schulischer Digitalisierung bringt der Sammelband in dieser Form erstmalig Forschung und Praxisansätze aus Deutschland zusammen, welche typische Versprechen von EdTech kritisch hinterfragen. Statt pauschaler Euphorie oder Ablehnung plädieren die Beiträge des Bandes für ein differenziertes Bild - und liefern damit Inspiration für alle, die konkrete Ansätze für einen bewussten Einsatz von EdTech suchen.
The end of World War II led to one of the most significant forced population transfers in history: the expulsion of over 12 million ethnic Germans from Central and Eastern Europe between 1945 and 1950 and the subsequent emigration of another four million in the second half of the twentieth century. Although unprecedented in its magnitude, conventional wisdom has it that the integration of refugees, expellees, and Aussiedler was a largely successful process in postwar Germany. While the achievements of the integration process are acknowledged, the volume also examines the difficulties encountered by ethnic Germans in the Federal Republic and analyses the shortcomings of dealing with this particular phenomenon of mass migration and its consequences.
