Subjective quality of life and social work
Social Widerspiegelung is a central area of human life, however, it has been little researched for the theorization of social work. Otger Autrata and Bringfriede Scheu present the foundations of social Widerspiegelung and establish the essential connection between social Widerspiegelung and subjective quality of life. This makes an important contribution to the development of social work theory: The basic research on social Widerspiegelung is linked to the tasks of social work in discipline and profession.
The Mathematics of Mathematics
This book takes up where L. S. Vygotsky has left off during the last few months of his life, when he renounced much of what he had done before. A month before Vygotsky died, he wrote in his notebook that he felt like Moses who had seen the promised land but was never allowed to set foot on it. The vision Vygotsky laid out during his final days had been influenced by his readings of the Dutch philosopher Baruch Spinoza and a book by Karl Marx published for the first time a year before Vygotsky died. In the present book, the author lays out a view of mathematics based on a monist view of knowing, learning, and development. Just as the essence of what is specifically human, the mathematics of m...

China in the German Enlightenment
Over the course of the eighteenth century, European intellectuals shifted from admiring China as a utopian place of wonder to despising it as a backwards and despotic state. That transformation had little to do with changes in China itself, and everything to do with Enlightenment conceptions of political identity and Europe's own burgeoning global power. China in the German Enlightenment considers the place of German philosophy, particularly the work of Leibniz, Goethe, Herder, and Hegel, in this development. Beginning with the first English translation of Walter Demel's classic essay "How the Chinese Became Yellow," the collection's essays examine the connections between eighteenth-century philosophy, German Orientalism, and the origins of modern race theory.
Recasting Race After World War II
Historian Timothy L. Schroer's Recasting Race after World War II explores the renegotiation of race by Germans and African American GIs in post-World War II Germany. Schroer dissects the ways in which notions of blackness and whiteness became especially problematic in interactions between Germans and American soldiers serving as part of the victorious occupying army at the end of the war. The segregation of U.S. Army forces fed a growing debate in America about whether a Jim Crow army could truly be a democratizing force in postwar Germany. Schroer follows the evolution of that debate and examines the ways in which postwar conditions necessitated reexamination of race relations. He reveals how anxiety about interracial relationships between African American men and German women united white American soldiers and the German populace. He also traces the importation and influence of African American jazz music in Germany, illuminating the subtle ways in which occupied Germany represented a crucible in which to recast the meaning of race in a post-Holocaust world. Recasting Race after World War II will appeal to historians and scholars of American, African American, and German studies.
People on the Move
While most people in the world are descendants of migrants, not everyone is conscious of the migration patterns of their ancestors. The goals and motives for moving or staying are changing, diverse, and often difficult to specify. As a result of 19th-century residentialist social and political theories, many scholars generally assume that migration is a pattern of behavior that deviates from the norm and requires a specific motive or reason. This study details the variety of changing historical patterns of migrant behavior by examining migration patterns over 1500 years in Europe and Southeast Asia. Kleinschmidt researches migrants and describes how they viewed themselves. He also includes a...

Soziale Netzwerke und interethnische Distanz
Worauf ist es zurückzuführen, dass bei manchen Deutschen eher positive und bei anderen eher negative Reaktionen gegenüber Immigranten zu beobachten sind? Wie lassen sich Grenzziehungen und soziale Distanzen gegenüber ethnischen Minderheiten erklären? Diese wichtigen, theoretisch und empirisch aber immer noch weitgehend ungeklärten Fragen stehen im Mittelpunkt dieses Buchs. Der darin entwickelte Ansatz zur Erklärung interethnischer Distanzen zeichnet sich vor allem dadurch aus, dass den bislang meist vernachlässigten Einflüssen von Bezugsgruppen und sozialen Milieus großes Gewicht zugemessen wird. Distanzierende Einstellungen und Verhaltensweisen gegenüber ethnischen Minderheiten k...
Theorien der Sozialen Arbeit
Soziale Arbeit hat sich als wissenschaftliche Disziplin etabliert, sie verfügt indessen nicht über eine verbindliche Zentraltheorie. Studierende Sozialer Arbeit müssen sich mit verschiedenen Konzeptionen disziplin- und professionstheoretischer Reflexion auseinandersetzen. Theoriebildung Sozialer Arbeit muss als Theoriediskurs verstanden werden. Helmut Lambers führt in die komplexe Theorielandschaft ein und sorgt für die nötige Orientierung. Neben der Einführung in die verschiedenen Theorien nimmt er einen Theorienvergleich vor und stellt die unterschiedlichen wissenschaftlichen Erkenntniskonzepte, Gegenstandsbestimmungen, Typisierungsversuche und die gemeinsamen Schnittmengen der Theoriebildungen in den Vordergrund.
