The Holocaust in Three Generations
Victims and Perpetrators What form does the dialogue about the family past during the Nazi period take in families of those persecuted by the Nazi regime and in families of Nazi perpetrators and bystanders? What impact does the past of the first generation, and their own way of dealing with it have on the lives of their children and grandchildren? What are the differences between the dialogue about the family past and the Holocaust in families of Nazi perpetrators and in families of Holocaust survivors? This book examines these questions on the basis of selected case studies.
Social Prevention and the Social Sciences
The volume contains a collection of papers presented at the Fourth International Symposium of the Special Research Unit ""Prevention and Intervention in Childhood and Adolescence"" at the Center for Interdisciplinary Research of the University of Bielefeld, in December 1988.

Engendering Transformation
Gender relations in post-socialist countries Even more than 20 years after turning away from socialism, Eastern European and Central Asian states are still characterized by the regime change in the fields of work, politics, and culture. What are the effects and implications that this change has produced for gender relations in post-socialist countries? And what does this mean for the situation of women and men living there today? In this context gender relations are especially interesting since gender equality was perceived as a political goal and, moreover, a given reality in socialism. The articles in this volume show the changes as well as the stability of gender relations and power struc...

Sexuality, Gender And Religion In Contemporary Discourses
One of the most current issues occupying both public and academic discourse is sexuality and the related issues of sexual self-determination, gender order, and homophobia. Religion has a significant role to play in this discourse. This centrality of religion is evident not only in the question of moral concepts, but also in questions of the understanding of the body and gender. In this context, it should be emphasized that religion - or, more precisely, a particular interpretation of the religious - can have both a conflict-promoting and an emancipatory effect. If one wants to conceptualize a contemporary theological understanding, then it is necessary to receive medical, psychological as well as social and cultural science research. The anthology aims to thematize these debates and to broaden the view for the multi-layered processes of change taking place in the discourses.
Älterwerden neu denken
Sinkende Geburtenraten und eine steigende Lebenserwartung sind in hochentwickelten Industriegesellschaften weltweit feststellbare Phänomene, die in Politik, Medien und Wissenschaften widersprüchlich diskutiert werden: Zum einen wird mit einer Krisenrhetorik vor einer ‚schrumpfenden’, ‚vergreisten’ Gesellschaft bzw. einer ‚Rentnerdemokratie’ gewarnt und damit der Generationenkonflikt ins Zentrum gerückt. Zum anderen wird ein Ideal des Alters propagiert, das Aktivität, Selbstverantwortung und die Bereitschaft zu ‚lebenslangem Lernen’ für erstrebenswert erklärt und damit direkt an den Diskurs der New Economy anschließt. Dieser Band beansprucht der ideologischen ‚Demografisierung’ sozialer Probleme entgegenzuwirken und Möglichkeiten aufzuzeigen, wie Älterwerden nicht nur neu zu denken ist, sondern auch, wie ein selbstbestimmtes und würdiges Leben (bis zum Tod) gestaltet werden kann. Dazu werden aktuelle (und historische) Diskurse zum demografischen Wandel und zur Kultur des Alter(n)s aus interdisziplinären Perspektiven kritisch beleuchtet.
Shulamit and Margarete
Shulamit and Margarete takes a microhistorical look at a small village on the border of Germany and France in the eighteenth century. Drawing on the rich source material of the village, it casts a searching light on the boundaries created by language, states, religions, cultures, sex, and gender. By writing the history of the village from multiple perspectives, the author is able to uncover fascinating artefacts of a cultural contact between Christians and Jews, and to gain insights into the agency and experiences of women in rural society. The book is enhanced by a variety of sources and illustrations relating to Jewish history, such as the last will of Abraham Levy and the previously unknown portraits of Fromette Levy and Bernard Lipmann.
