Confronting Antisemitism from Perspectives of Philosophy and Social Sciences
The five volumes provide a compendium of the history of and discourse about antisemitism - both as a unique cultural and religious category. Antisemitic stereotypes function as religious symbols that express and transmit a belief system of Jew-hatred, which are stored in the cultural and religious memories of the Western and Muslim worlds. This volume explores the phenomenon from the perspectives of Philosophy and Social Sciences.
Re-visioning Geography
Geography is a discipline with a profound interdisciplinary character focusing on studying the complex interactions between nature and society. Geography can advance the level of knowledge and awareness and provide important contributions to support the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals. This book explores some of these issues, while also disseminating and supporting the efforts of geographers worldwide to promote the implementation of the SDGs. It offers local and global perspectives to a variety of topics covered by the SDGs, such as: How do different actors such as universities, companies and education actors respond to Sustainable Development Goals, especially during the compl...
Tour Guides at Memorial Sites and Holocaust Museums
In this volume, contributors reflect on how to teach and mediate difficult history from the perspectives of guides. Too often, their activities are undervalued and taken for granted. Guides represent an important, often forgotten group of educators. This volume takes a global view on guiding at memorial sites and museums in Europe, North America, and South Africa. The contributors to this volume show from different research traditions that it is worth understanding more about the guides’ personal interests, their motivations, and their concept of guiding. Authors apply methodologies from the social sciences to describe the guides’ point of view. Complementing the various approaches in tour guide research, a detailed linguistic analysis sheds light on a survivor’s testimony echoed in the guides’ language. The studies gathered in this volume open up an orientation for further approaches to tour guiding based on and centered around “authentic” materials from guides.
Lessons and Legacies XV
The fifteenth volume in the Lessons & Legacies series, featuring multidisciplinary research in the Holocaust and Jewish cultural history on the theme of Global Perspectives and National Narratives. The fourteen chapters included in this volume manifest three broad categories: history, literature, and memory. These chapters continue the recent trend in Holocaust Studies of a focus on local history, integrating specific regional and national narratives into a more global approach to the event. Newer studies have continued to incorporate what was once termed the periphery into a more global examination of the experiences of Jewish refugees in flight to Latin America, Africa, and the Soviet Unio...
Social inequality and interreligious learning
Interreligious learning is viewed as a key educational task today. Increasing religious plurality in our societies and associated risks of societal tensions and conflicts necessitate that students deal at school with other religions, their belief systems, and the social reality of those who believe in them. Although several international studies have shown that some categories of students are at risk to be disadvantaged at school because of social inequality, this problem is currently not considered in theories of interreligious learning. Therefore, the present study investigates whether or not categories of students are disadvantaged in interreligious learning. In addition to theological and pedagogical insights about the problem of social inequality, this book presents an empirically validated action-theoretical model which helps to understand why some students have better or worse opportunities in interreligious learning. The action-theoretical model further proposes strategies to address unequal learning conditions in interreligious learning.
Niemals Nummer – Immer Mensch
In den letzten Jahren erlebt Rechtspopulismus in den Gesellschaften und der Politik Europas einen Aufschwung. Im Gegensatz dazu stehen die Lehrpläne an Österreichs Schulen, die einen Unterricht vorsehen, der über das Thema Nationalsozialismus informieren und menschenverachtendem Umgang gegensteuern soll. Orientierungskompetenz und Persönlichkeitsbildung für Schüler*innen sind dabei wichtige Wertmaßstäbe. Abseits der »Leichenbergpädagogik« haben sich seit den 1990er Jahren neue Vermittlungskonzepte im Erinnerungslernen entwickelt – nicht zuletzt durch die Experimentierfreude evangelischer Religionspädagog*innen. Im Fokus des Bandes stehen neben den Unterrichtskonzepten erstmals ...
Elementarpädagogik
Frühkindliche Bildungsprozesse sind bedeutsam für die weiteren (lern-)biografischen Lebensabschnitte von Kindern. Wie diese Bildungsprozesse in verschiedenen elementarpädagogischen Handlungsfeldern und Einrichtungen bestmöglich angeregt und begleitet werden können, ist Hauptanliegen dieses Bandes. Die Beiträge decken eine große Bandbreite an inhaltlichen Themenschwerpunkten ab und liefern konkrete Praxisideen, die den Transfer des dargestellten Wissens erleichtern. Im ersten Teil werden grundlegende Aspekte der elementaren Bildung erörtert. Neben wesentlichen Fragestellungen in Bezug auf frühe Bildung, Erziehung und Betreuung werden die emotionale und soziale sowie die kognitive Ent...
