A Life in Balance?
Magazine articles, talk shows, and commercials advise us that our happiness and well-being rest on striking a balance between work and family. It goes unsaid, however, that the advice is based on an outmoded and unrealistic ideal. This provocative volume challenges the notion often offered in support of neo-liberal agendas that paid work (employment) and unpaid work (caregiving and housework) are separate and competing spheres, rather than overlapping aspects of a single existence. Alternative approaches to integrating work and family must be taken into account if we hope to build truly equitable family and childcare policies.
Kant’s Theory of Value
In explicit form, Kant does not speak that much about values or goods. The reason for this is obvious: the concepts of ‘values’ and ‘goods’ are part of the eudaimonistic tradition, and he famously criticizes eudaimonism for its flawed ‘material’ approach to ethics. But he uses, on several occasions, the traditional teleological language of goods and values. Especially in the Groundwork and the Critique of Practical Reason, Kant develops crucial points on this conceptual basis. Furthermore, he implicitly discusses issues of conditional and unconditional values, subjective and objective values, aesthetic or economic values etc. In recent Kant scholarship, there has been a controversy on the question how moral and nonmoral values are related in Kant’s account of human dignity. This leads to the more fundamental problem if Kant should be seen as a prescriptvist (antirealist) or as subscribing to a more objective rational agency account of goods. This issue and several further questions are addressed in this volume.
Studies in Irreversibility
The premise of Studies in Irreversibility: Texts and Contexts is that there is a big difference between phenomena, practices, processes, and events that are irreversible and those that are reversible, and moreover that this difference and its manifold implications remain underappreciated so long as the analysis of culture continues to anchor itself in an emphasis on the capacities of human agency. If messianic modes posit a future to justify the present, and so interpret the influence of the past, the papers in this collection are devoted to examining the present of experience from the perspective of its uncompromising and irreducible past, finding in irreversibility a key to an interpretati...

Fachkulturforschung in der Schule
Fachkulturforschung existiert bislang vor allem in Bezug auf universitäre Disziplinen. Die Kulturen schulischer Unterrichtsfächer und der Zusammenhang von schulischen Fachkulturen und Unterrichtsqualität (bzw. ‚erfolgreichen’ Bildungsgängen) ist bislang kaum untersucht worden. Dieses Versäumnis greift der Sammelband auf: Im Durchgang durch methodische Überlegungen, Einzelbeschreibungen schulischer Fachkulturen und Perspektiven auf den Zusammenhang von Fachkultur und Bildungsgang wird der Rahmen für eine ‚Fachkulturforschung in der Schule‘ entworfen.

Spielräume für Geschlechterfragen
Esther Richthammer eröffnet Lehrkräften des Faches Kunst mit diesem Buch neue Wahrnehmungs- und Reflexionsmöglichkeiten zum Thema Gender und zeigt aktuellen Forschungs- und bildungspolitischen Handlungsbedarf auf. Der transdisziplinäre Zugang – mit quantitativen, qualitativen und diskursanalytischen Anteilen – ermöglicht, geschlechtliche Konstruktionen, die in besonders hohem Maße naturalisiert sind, wieder als Konstruktionen wahrzunehmen. Symbolische Ordnungen, Naturalisierungsprozesse und Fachgepflogenheiten werden sichtbar. Zugleich hat die Kategorie „Geschlecht“ hier exemplarischen Charakter und das methodische Vorgehen lässt sich auf die Analyse anderer gesellschaftlicher Differenzierungskategorien transferieren.
