This book discusses right-wing extremism by analysing Germanophone research on this topic for the first time in English, including unique survey data from Germany and Austria. Highlighting how questions of terminology can become complicated when country cases are compared, the authors analyse theoretical and methodological issues in relation to the question of right-wing extremism. In Anglo-American academia, the term is often associated with fairly rare phenomena in the form of extremist political groups, whereas in Germany the term is often applied to a wide range of attitudes, behaviours and parties, including those which operate more within the mainstream political sphere. Covering an ar...
Auschwitz, Belsen, Dachau. These names still evoke the horrors of Nazi Germany around the world. This 2001 book takes one of these sites, Dachau, and traces its history from the beginning of the twentieth century, through its twelve years as Nazi Germany's premier concentration camp, to the camp's postwar uses as prison, residential neighborhood, and, finally, museum and memorial site. With superbly chosen examples and an eye for telling detail, Legacies of Dachau documents how Nazi perpetrators were quietly rehabilitated to become powerful elites, while survivors of the concentration camps were once again marginalized, criminalized and silenced. Combining meticulous archival research with an encyclopedic knowledge of the extensive literatures on Germany, the Holocaust, and historical memory, Marcuse unravels the intriguing relationship between historical events, individual memory, and political culture, to offer a unified interpretation of their interaction from the Nazi era to the twenty-first century.
The Human Fraternity Document: Towards Peaceful Coexistence and a World free of conflict
Inequality limits young people's chances in life. Yet equality is the basis of democracy and Article 14 of the European Convention on Human Rights secures the rights and freedoms of the young "without discrimination on any ground". Research shows that inequality - in opportunities, wealth or health, for example - is widespread in Europe and that the citizens of richer countries do not necessarily have healthier profiles than those of poorer countries. The citizens of egalitarian countries, on the other hand, have the highest life expectancy. This book examines many aspects of inequality and opportunity for young people including schooling, employment, social exclusion, labour migration, trafficking, disability, cultural and religious discrimination, youth work, and opposition and resistance.
Since 9/11, counterterrorism has become a national and international priority. Research on violent extremism and terrorism, from homegrown threats to foreign fighters, has adapted accordingly but has not always translated into policymaking. Extremism can be traced to no single cause, and yet governments and law-enforcement agencies continue to spend millions on prevention efforts. Contributors to this book identify persistent challenges for counterterrorism and countering violent extremism and provide analysis from a variety of academic and professional perspectives. Countering Violent Extremism and Terrorism cautions against adopting a causal model to understand violent extremism and takes ...
Die familiale Versorgung eines demenziell erkrankten Menschen ist eine Aufgabe mit hohem Anforderungspotenzial. Bislang wurden Forschungs- und Interventionsschwerpunkte hierzu auf die hauptverantwortlichen Familienmitglieder der älteren und mittleren Generation gelegt. H. Elisabeth Philipp-Metzen richtet das Augenmerk daher auf die dritte, die Enkelgeneration. Fallanalysen von fünfzehn heute erwachsenen Enkelkindern beschreiben sowohl die Unterstützungsressourcen als auch die Belastungsphänomene im Kontext von Sorgeleistungen für demenzkranke Großeltern. Die Befunde verdeutlichen einerseits die Potenziale familialer Solidarität, andererseits aber auch die Notwendigkeit von Interventionen zur Belastungsminderung, welche die Autorin auf der Basis von Leitlinien für generationengerechte häusliche Pflegearrangements herleitet. Dieses Buch ist ein Plädoyer für eine generationenfreundlichere Gestaltung von Angehörigenpflege bei einer Demenzerkrankung, denn ohne flankierende Maßnahmen ist der Einbezug von Enkelkindern gesellschaftskritisch zu hinterfragen.
Jede Berührung berührt - nicht nur den Körper, auch die Seele. Die Heilkraft achtsamer Berührung ist wissenschaftlich bewiesen. Berührung kann unser Leben verändern, es bereichern, uns heilen. Aber ist sie auch der Schlüssel zu Gesundheit, Glück und Wohlbefinden - gar Weltfrieden? Was würden ein Berührungsforscher oder eine Sterbebegleiterin dazu sagen? In dieser Anthologie antworten 13 Mitglieder des Netzwerk Berührung auf dieselben drei Fragen. Es sind Menschen, in deren Leben und Arbeitsalltag achtsame Berührung eine wichtige Rolle spielt. Als Expertinnen und Experten ihres jeweiligen Schwerpunkts beleuchten sie die vielfältigen Facetten und die wohltuende Wirkung nicht sexueller Berührung. Kurzweilig, spannend und emotional!
Museums, galleries, foundations, collectors, artists, viewers--how do they all come together? How is that changing? This collection of essays and some photographs from a Cologne working group called European Kunsthalle tackles the fundamental issues facing new initiatives and institutions for contemporary art. It is divided into five topics: The Problem of Location, The Process of Societal Transformation, Cultural Economies, Curatorial Concepts, and, most ambitiously of all, The Way in Which the Art System Operates. Articles and discussion transcripts include "The Crisis of the Audience," "The Cultural Politics of Institutions," "Smuggling: A Curatorial Model," "The Power and Powerlessness of the Private Collector" and Liam Gillick's "Revised Construction of One."
Right-wing extremism is a phenomenon that can be found throughout Europe. All democratic societies are threatened by racist, anti-pluralistic and authoritarian ideas. Even though the so called "radical right" differs in character and ideology in the various European countries it strives to restrict civic and human rights as well as to change the constitutional structures that are based on the principles of democracy and liberty. Individual European countries deal with this challenge differently. The various policy approaches found in these countries are a good source for developing improved practices for fighting rightwing extremism in Germany and worldwide. With this publication the Bertels...
