The volume Middle East and North Africa: Climate, Culture and Conflicts focuses on the intricate interrelationships between nature, culture and society in this ecologically, historically and politically fragile region. As such, it debates ideas of eco-theology from Muslim and Jewish perspectives, followed by mythological interpretations and geo-archeological resp. historical analyses of the interrelationships and impacts of climate and other environmental factors on the development of ancient civilizations and cultures. The section “Present” addresses current conflict scenarios as a result of climate change, i.e. water scarcity, droughts, desertification and similar factors. The final section is concerned with potentials of international cooperation in pursuit of developing and ensuring sustainable energy resources and moves across different scales of environmental and religious education, from awareness raising to perspectives of best practice examples. Contributors are Katajun Amirpur, Helmut Brückner, Eckart Ehlers, Max Engel, Kerstin Fritzsche, Ursula Kowanda-Yassin, Tobias von Lossow, Ephraim Meir, Rosel Pientka-Hinz, Matthias Schmidt, and Franz Trieb.

Die gesellschaftliche Integration von Bürgerinnen und Bürgern muslimischen Glaubens kann nur mit, nicht gegen den Islam erfolgreich gelingen, so Jürgen Habermas. Für die politische Bildung ergeben sich daraus verschiedene offene Fragen: • Welchen Beitrag kann und soll die politische Bildung bei der Integration in demokratische Migrationsgesellschaften leisten? • Gibt es möglicherweise im Rahmen der Sozialintegration eine politische Integration sui generis durch die politische Bildung? • Welche konkreten Herausforderungen ergeben sich für die politische Bildung aus der Tatsache, dass der Adressatenkreis zukünftiger Bürgerinnen und Bürger muslimischen Glaubens anwächst? Die Stabilität der Demokratie hängt nicht zuletzt von einer erfolgreichen politischen Integration aller zukünftigen Bürgerinnen und Bürger, muslimischen wie nichtmuslimischen Glaubens, ab. In Anbetracht dessen stellt die Autorin hier ein auf der Anerkennung (Axel Honneth) des Islam beruhendes Konzept für die politische Bildung zur Diskussion.

Over the approximately 100-year course of the development of psychoanalytic theory, from its Freudian foundations to its current fragmented state, psychoanalytic theory has largely abandoned coherence and the inspiration to understand the human mind, argues Rangell Far from suggesting that psychoanalysis be abandoned, he instead traces the evolution of the various strands of psychoanalytic theory so that what is valuable can be extracted and included in a new effort to formulate a unitary theory.
Viele Diskussionen kursieren um das Thema Selbstbestimmung. Unsere Selbstbestimmung wird sowohl durch Gesetze als auch durch Regeln und Verbote eingeschr nkt. Niemand kann alles tun, wonach ihm beliebt. Doch kann wohl fast jeder erwachsene Mensch, der in seinen eigenen vier W nden wohnt, selbst entscheiden, zu welchem Zeitpunkt er ins Bett geht, welches Bild an seiner Wand h ngt und auch welche Marmelade er morgens auf sein Br tchen schmiert! Dies sind f r uns selbstverst ndliche Tatsachen. Wies sieht es aber bei erwachsenen Menschen mit geistiger Behinderung aus, die in einem Wohnheim leben? Oft werden Menschen mit geistiger Behinderung ab einem bestimmten Alter von ihren Eltern in ein ents...
The burgeoning film industry in the Weimar Republic was, among other things, a major site of German-Jewish experience, one that provided a sphere for Jewish “outsiders” to shape mainstream culture. The chapters collected in this volume deploy new historical, theoretical, and methodological approaches to understanding the significant involvement of German Jews in Weimar cinema. Reflecting upon different conceptions of Jewishness – as religion, ethnicity, social role, cultural code, or text – these studies offer a wide-ranging exploration of an often overlooked aspect of German film history.
The contributors to this book analyze how the redactors of the Talmud transformed and reworked earlier aggadic (non-legal) traditions. Critical study of the Babylonian Talmud is founded on the distinction between two literary strata: traditions attributed to named sages (the Amoraim, c. 200-450 CE) and setam hatalmud, the unattributed or anonymous material. The conclusion of modern scholars is that the anonymous stratum postdates the Amoraic stratum and should be attributed to the Talmudic redactors, also known as Stammaim (c. 450-700 CE.) The contribution of the Stammaim to the aggadic (non-legal) portions of the Talmud - to midrash, narratives, ethics and theology - has received minimal scholarly attention. The articles in this book demonstrate that the Stammaim made a profound contribution to the aggadic portions of the Babylonian Talmud and illustrate the processes by which they created and composed many aggadic traditions.
