With the realization of familial deschooling in Germany, the so-called social movement of the ,Freilerner’ transgresses a taboo and is therefore under enormous pressure to justify itself. Following on from this, the reconstructive study asks what latent structures of meaning underlie the subjective crisis scenarios about the schooling of children and the ideal concepts of parents in the sense-giving justification of the family deschooling practice. In the course of this, three types of the justification for the familial practice of deschooling, namely defending, charismatizing, and escaping, are empirically established. In this way, the study not only makes an empirically based contribution to a more reflective discourse on alternative educational practices, but also pushes itself into a taboo zone of school pedagogy and educational research in Germany. Because it addresses the school as a historically consolidated, but not as an organization without alternatives for learning and educational processes of children and adolescents.
Paul McPharlin is one of the 20th century's most important contributors to the art of puppetry. Over a period of nine years he created some 20 productions with marionettes, rod puppets, hand puppets and shadow figures. He was also a prolific writer whose technical, theoretical and historical works contributed significantly to a puppetry revival. His book The Puppet Theatre in America is considered the definitive history of American puppetry. Though shy and aloof, McPharlin was also energetic. He had an ability to bring people together and used this knack to found a national puppetry organization, Puppeteers of America. Besides the author's extensive research on McPharlin and puppetry, the bo...
For 11 years, astride the Missouri-Kansas border, Cass County endured the vortex of our nation’s most violent confl ict. Citizens struggled between three raging fi res, Secessionism, Unionism, and an undying Border War. Cass County’s uncivil war, intimate, cruel, and total, suffered no man, woman or child to escape loss or injury – their individual stories weave history’s fabric. Violent circumstances forged leaders who shaped Missouri’s political and military history. Caught Between Three Fires, for the fi rst time, reconstructs a lost history, erased by total destruction, Order No. 11, and time’s purposeful neglect.
Heinrich Manns mästerliga roman Undersåten är en djupt gripande och samhällskritisk roman som utforskar en individs moraliska och existentiella kamp i det tyska kejsardömet under slutet av 1800-talet. Diederich Hessling är sinnebilden av en lojal och ambitiös medborgare. Personen han projicerar utåt skiljer sig dock ofta från hans faktiska karaktär. Han predikar mod men är själv feg, uppmuntrar militaristisk anda men undviker att gå med och är utåt kristen men samtidigt själv otrogen. Genom Hesslings ögon avslöjar Mann det sociala och politiska klimatet på den tiden, där korruption, maktmissbruk och förtryck är vardagliga företeelser. Manns träffande beskrivningar och psykologiska skildringar av Hesslings inre kamp och hans vilja att passa in i samhällets strukturer, samtidigt som han offrar sin egen moraliska kompass, är både hjärtslitande och tankeväckande. I översättning av Gösta Gideon Molin. HEINRICH MANN [1871-1950] var en tysk författare känd för sina politiska romaner. Han var en stark kritiker till den växande fascismen och nazismen i Tyskland vilket gjorde att hans böcker brändes under nazisternas ökända bokbål.

This collection of articles dedicated to the memory of Lenore Coral divides into three sections that focus on her scholarly interests: music of the eighteenth century, music libraries and collections, and new approaches to the musical canon. Many of the seventeen contributions included in the volume are the result of the individual author's connection with Lenore, or were projects that she had been directly involved with, either as dissertation advisor, committee member, or interested observer. The senior scholars and music librarians represented here are testament to the impact of her intellect and influence.
