Südlich von Hetero

Schwule Jugendliche gibt es überall. Auf dem Land, in der Großstadt, im Norden, im Süden. An Schulen, im Schwimmverein und im Jugendclub. Aber wie geht es denen? Wie ist das, jung und schwul zu sein? Wie schrecklich, wie schön, wie normal? Diese Fragen haben sich Patrick Fina und Matthias Nebel gestellt. Auf der Suche nach Antworten sind die beiden quer durch Deutschland gereist. Sie haben junge Schwule getroffen und ihre Geschichten aufgeschrieben. Dabei ist dieses Buch entstanden: Ein Portrait von zehn verschiedenen jungen Menschen. Sie erzählen über ihr Coming-out und ihr Leben in einem teils überraschend toleranten, manchmal aber auch erschreckend aggressiven Umfeld. Zehn Jahre sind seitdem vergangen. Zeit, noch einmal nachzufragen: Wie geht es den mittlerweile Erwachsenen? Was haben sie erlebt, wie zufrieden sind sie? Die Autoren fragen aber auch: Warum hat sich gesellschaftlich und politisch so wenig verändert in den vergangenen Jahren? Warum dürfen zum Beispiel Schwule und Lesben in Deutschland immer noch nicht heiraten, warum keine Kinder adoptieren? Wir haben allen Grund, unzufrieden zu sein!

Since the dawn of the oil era, cities in Saudi Arabia have witnessed rapid growth and profound societal changes. As a response to foreign architectural solutions and the increasing popularity of Western lifestyles, a distinct style of architecture and urban planning has emerged. Characterised by an emphasis on privacy, expressed through high enclosures, gates, blinds, and tinted windows, ‘New Islamic Urbanism’ constitutes for some an important element of piety. For others, it enables alternative ways of life, indulgence in banned social practices, and the formation of both publics and counterpublics. Tracing the emergence of ‘New Islamic Urbanism’, this book sheds light on the cha...

Catholic Social Thought

These essays are an attempt to recover something of the form, style and force of Catholic non-official social thinking in the face of contemporary social thought and contemporary injustice in advanced societies. After an opening essay by the doyen of Catholic writers in this field, Jean-Yves Calvez, SJ, the book is divided into three sections. The first and largest group of essays discuss patterns and predicaments of Catholic social thought in general terms and from different points of view. The context here is partly the debate on modernity, high-modernity and post-modernity, partly the issue of how far and in what ways Catholic Social Thought can claim to be distinctive, relative to contem...

A Common Good Approach to Development

This edited collection proposes a common good approach to development theory and practice. Rather than focusing on the outcomes or conditions of development, the contributors concentrate on the quality of development processes, suggesting that a common good dynamic is key in order to trigger development. Resulting from more than three years of research by an international group of over fifty scholars, the volume advocates for a modern understanding of the common good—rather than a theological or metaphysical good—in societies by emphasising the social practice of ‘commoning’ at its core. It suggests that the dynamic equilibrium of common goods in a society should be at the centre of ...
