Humor and Laughter, Playfulness and Cheerfulness: Upsides and Downsides to a Life of Lightness
The emergence of Positive Psychology has highlighted the importance of studying the good life and how to attain it. Positive life outcomes, such as well-being, thriving, flourishing, and happiness were discussed and investigated. Among them, different orientations to happiness were identified, such as a life of pleasure, life of meaning, and life of engagement. Other outcomes, such as subjective and objective fulfillment in life or societal recognition have been less studied. Among the characteristics that facilitate positive outcomes, the VIA-classification of strength and virtues distinguishes 24 strengths with humor/playfulness being one of them. Only a small segment of humor entered the ...

Individual and Organizational Vulnerability and Resilience Factors in the COVID-19 Pandemic
Vulnerability and resilience are concepts that have long been treated as individual and contradicting topics. In recent times, we have seen that vulnerabilities and resilience can go hand in hand and that vulnerabilities cannot be conceptualized only in simple terms because intersectionality must be considered as well as social, organizational, and systemic aspects and processes. One example is that women are more vulnerable (higher values in nearly all stress related measures) in the COVID-19 pandemic. This finding has to be analyzed from an intersectional perspective, because socio-economic factors, cultural factors, exposure to COVID-19 and the type of occupation (e.g. healthcare sector, ...
Interdisziplinäre Anthropologie
Der Diskurs im aktuellen Jahrbuch analysiert anschaulich die Phänomene von Technikanalysen und Mensch-Maschine-Systemen bis hin zu den gesellschaftlichen Aspekten von Quantifizierung in Bildung und Arbeit. Jedwede Vermessung des Menschen zählt zu den Problemfeldern der Humanwissenschaften, die nicht selten mit reduktionistischen Problemen verknüpft sind. In jüngster Geschichte unterstützte die physische Anthropologie mit einer empirischen Untermauerung rassentypologischer Ideale eine auf Eugenik ausgerichtete Politik. In der Gegenwart leistet insbesondere die lebensweltliche Durchdringung digitaler Endgeräte (wearables) eine Quantifizierung des Menschen, die einerseits mit objektiven Daten eine rationalere Lebensführung verspricht, andererseits mit Debatten über Monitoring und Überwachung auch auf soziale, respektive gesellschaftliche Herausforderungen verweist. Lässt sich die Qualität der menschlichen Selbstgestaltung in Quantitäten auflösen? Sind objektive Messdaten subjektiven Selbsteinschätzungen überlegen – oder leisten sie Stigmatisierungen Vorschub?

ART and the MIND – Ernst H. GOMBRICH
Ernst H. Gombrich, the Art Historian, master of both Continental thought and English language, became one of the world's most well-known representatives of the discipline. Half a century ago his testable theories transformed thinking on how to look at art. After only a few years during which semiotics appeared to render Sir Ernst's common-sense framework outdated, the rise of cognitive approaches has enabled him to recover internationally the status he once had in France as a radical thinker within modern philosophy. This book explores Gombrich's intellectual legacy by analysing some of the concepts and insights in the context of Image Science, the "Steckenpferd". The international contributors are original authorities in their own right, among them some of Gombrich's former students.
