The Forgotten Subject
The volume provides a critical inventory of existing concepts of the subject in communication studies research. In addition, concepts are developed in order to be able to analyze subjectivity in the context of current theoretical debates (including media sociology, cultural studies, psychoanalysis, practice theory, science and technology studies) as well as social, cultural and technical developments (including digitalization, mediatization, mobility and networking). Since subject conceptions are of central importance for any communication and media analyses, the volume fills a central gap in communication and media studies.
Being-With in Contemporary Performing Arts
The concept of being-with developed by the philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy asks a fundamental question about human life, inasmuch as we have always been and will be co-existent with people and environments. All modes of sense-making and subjectivation, but also presence, can only occur within a context and through interaction. This is why historical forms of theater have frequently been viewed as sites of communality and why critical approaches have questioned concepts such as 'sense', 'meaning' and 'habitus'. Like literature, theater has also inherited the scene of myth: It satisfies our need for narration, interpretation and to share in something. In turn, the joint creation of meaning in scenic practices is also part of the traditional idealization of the theater – but is this ideal purely mythical? The authors of this book investigate and explore how meaning is being questioned or liberated in contemporary performances, and how individual thinking/action can be articulated to others, paving the way for other gestures, theatrical processes of recognition and the performative sharing process (of sense-making).

Surrender
Winner, CCCC Outstanding Book Award, 2020 One of Library Journal's Top 20 Best-Selling Language Titles of 2019 In an ethnographic study spanning the last years of research collaborator and friend Susan Lundy Maute’s life with terminal breast cancer, author Jessica Restaino argues the interpretative challenges posed by research and writing amid illness and intimacy demand a methodological break from accepted genres and established practices of knowledge making. Restaino searches their experiences—recorded in interviews, informal writings, and correspondence—to discover a rhetoric of love and illness. She encourages a synthesis of methods and the acceptance of a reversal of roles—resea...

Michel Foucault: Pädagogische Lektüren
Michel Foucault entwickelt sich gegenwärtig zweifellos zu einer der neuen Bezugsgrößen des pädagogischen Diskurses: Nach einer langen Phase großer Widerstände innerhalb der deutschsprachigen Erziehungswissenschaft werden jetzt die materialgesättigten Untersuchungen der komplizierten Verflechtungen von Wissensformen, Machttypen und Subjektivierungspraktiken immer häufiger zum Anlass, neue Reflexionsformen zu erproben. Vor diesem Hintergrund präsentiert der Sammelband grundlegende erziehungswissenschaftliche Beiträge, die das Anregungspotential der Arbeiten Michel Foucaults nutzen und Erziehungspraktiken, Bildungsprozesse und Lernvorgänge auf veränderte Weise in den Blick nehmen.
Justice, Education and the Politics of Childhood
This volume contributes to the ongoing interdisciplinary controversies about the moral, legal and political status of children and childhood. It comprises essays by scholars from different disciplinary backgrounds on diverse theoretical problems and public policy controversies that bear upon different facets of the life of children in contemporary liberal democracies. The book is divided into three major parts that are each organized around a common general theme. The first part (“Children and Childhood: Autonomy, Well-Being and Paternalism”) focusses on key concepts of an ethics of childhood. Part two (“Justice for Children”) contains chapters that are concerned with the topics of justice for children and justice during childhood. The third part (“The Politics of Childhood”) deals with issues that concern the importance of `childhood ́ as a historically contingent political category and its relevance for the justification and practical design of political processes and institutions that affect children and families.
Subjektwerden unter Bedingungen von outsiderness
Wie machen sich nationalstaatliche Ein- und Ausgrenzungsmuster in der Schule bemerkbar? Welche Erfahrungen machen Schüler*innen in ihrem Schulalltag? Wie werden sie von diesen Erfahrungen geprägt? Die Autorin untersucht Subjektivierungsprozesse in Schulbildungsbiographien junger kurdisch positionierter Frauen in der Türkei daraufhin, wie sich – vermittelt über Schule – In- und Exklusionsverhältnisse im Nationalstaat in Subjekte einschreiben. Sie zeigt die Relevanz von Aneignungs- und Widersetzungsprozessen für die Ausbildung von Selbstverständnissen angesichts natio-ethno-kultureller (Nicht-)Zugehörigkeit und schließt Gedanken zu marginalisierter Handlungsfähigkeit an.
Lehrer:innen im ›Brennpunkt‹
Was bedeutet es, Lehrer:in an einer Schule im ›Brennpunkt‹ zu sein? Hauke Straehler-Pohl stellt die gemeinsamen Reflexionen von Lehrer:innen in den Vordergrund, die sich dieser Frage widmen. Dabei entsteht nicht nur ein differenziertes Bild der Arbeit von Lehrer:innen, sondern auch davon, wie der Arbeitskontext - der ›Brennpunkt‹ - sich auf diese Arbeit auswirkt und ihr zuweilen eine dilemmahafte Struktur verleiht. Es wird deutlich: Die Herausforderung, sich tagtäglich in einem von Segregation geprägten Sozialkontext behaupten zu müssen, prägt die Art und Weise, wie Lehrer:innen auf sich selbst, ihre Schüler:innen, ihre Arbeit und die Gesellschaft blicken.
