Unter dem Leitbegriff „Governance von Arbeit“ analysieren die AutorInnen Veränderungen und Kontinuitäten in Bezug auf die Gestaltung von Arbeitsbedingungen und Karriereentwicklung, Entlohnung und Interessenvertretung, wie auch Institutionen der Reproduktion (Berufsbildung, Familie) in Deutschland. Übergreifende These ist, dass sich alte und neue Institutionen im Sinne veränderter Komplementaritäten verbinden und sowohl individuelle als auch kollektive Akteure veranlassen, z.T. neue, eigene Bewältigungs- und Entlastungsstrategien zu entwickeln. Die sozialen Folgen dieser Entwicklung werden als „bipolare Heterogenisierung“ skizziert, d.h. dass jenseits des traditionellen Kerns, der nach wie vor durch Normalarbeitsverhältnis, Normalbiographie und Normalfamilie geprägt ist, eine zunehmende Polarisierung der Arbeits- und Lebensbedingungen in Richtung Privilegierung und Prekarisierung zu erkennen ist.
Museen fungieren als kulturelles Gedächtnis, sie bewahren kulturelles Erbe. Ausgehend von der Museumsforschung lässt sich jedoch ein Wandel in der Präsentation von Geschichte beobachten. Wie wird also Geschichte bewahrt, während sich ihre Deutung verändert? Auf der Grundlage von kulturwissenschaftlich-museologischen und soziologischen Theorien fragt Vanessa Schröder, wie Geschichte und historische Zeit von Besuchern historischer Museen verstanden werden. Der Mehrmethodenansatz, der quantitative Methoden der Besucherforschung mit einer qualitativen Erhebungs- und Auswertungstechnik verknüpft, bereichert die Besucherforschung um einen neuen Ansatz zur Deutung von Geschichte im Museum.
The isolation the Children of the Danube experienced from the upheavals of history in the rest of Europe would no longer hold true in the second half of the 19th Century and beyond. At the outset, Emperor Francis Joseph's attempts to preserve the position of the House of Habsburg in the face of the rising power of Prussia among the German states would inevitably lead to a disastrous war. Austria's defeat set the stage for the rise of the German Empire and the struggle for supremacy in Europe among the major powers resulting in the catastrophic wars of the next century which would destroy the only life the Children of the Danube had ever known. The agricultural sector was in a shambles in Hun...
On April 6, 1948, a significant portion of the population of the village of Ecsny in Somogy County, Hungary, was expelled from their homeland. This was the result of Protocol XIII of the Potsdam Declaration of 1945 calling for the orderly and humane transfer of German populations now living in Poland, Czechoslovakia, and Hungary. The families involved were descendants of German settlers who began to arrive in what would become the village of Ecsny as early as 1754. They formed an Evangelical Lutheran congregation at the outset that would survive as an underground movement until the Edict of Toleration promulgated by the Emperor Joseph II of Austria in 1782. These two governmental actions tak...
Can a worthwhile exchange be set up between the seemingly opposing viewpoints of psychoanalytic therapy and cognitive science? Stein and the other contributing authors of Cognitive Science and the Unconscious say yes. In fact, it is their contention that such an interchange of theory and method -- combining the theoretical clarity and empirical rigor of cognitive science with the richness and complexity of clinical work -- holds the promise of enriching both disciplines. The concept of unconsciousness, as variously conceived by psychoanalysis ("The Unconscious") and cognitive science ("unconscious processing"), is the reference point of this dialogue. Written by a distinguished group of researchers and clinicians, this volume examines those aspects of the unconscious mind most relevant to the psychiatric practitioner, including unconscious processing of affective and traumatic experience, unconscious mechanisms in dissociative states and disorders, and cognitive approaches to dreaming and repression. Although cognitive psychology forms the backbone of the book, many of the chapters illuminate relevant work from the fields of artificial intelligence, linguistics, and biology.
