Jüdische Jugend Im Übergang - Jewish Youth in Transit
Der Band "Jüdische Jugend im Übergang - Jewish Youth in Transit" ist das Ergebnis der gleichnamigen, international ausgerichteten Konferenz, die im März 2021 im Rahmen des DFG-Projektes "Nationaljüdische Jugendkultur und zionistische Erziehung in Deutschland und Palästina zwischen den Weltkriegen" stattfand. Die unterschiedlichen methodischen Zugänge der Beitragenden - allesamt Wissenschaftler/-innen, die schon in den vorangegangenen Jahren Arbeiten aus dem Bereich der historischen Jugend- und Jugendbewegungsforschung veröffentlicht haben - ermöglichen einen Überblick über Forschung und Forschungsperspektiven zum Thema jüdische Jugendbewegung des frühen 20. Jahrhunderts. Biographische Skizzen finden sich hier neben Formationsgeschichten von Gruppen und Jugendbünden, Fragen von Hachschara und Jugend-Alija, als zweier bedeutsamer Institutionen jüdisch-jugendbewegter Praxis, bestimmen den Fokus zahlreicher Beiträge.
Visual History
Addressing questions about representation, this book critically explores the potential of different types of visual material to illuminate historical studies. The contributions in this collection range from explorations of picture schemes used in 19th century classrooms to contemporary popular representations of schooling. Film and photographic images are considered in specific contexts, presenting case studies along with theoretical reflections about methods, values and the very nature of historical studies. Images are examined in children's literature, in the induction of history of education students, in the recreation of past practices and in the promotion of government policies. Visions of education are put alongside discussion of 'the visual turn', its value to historians, its relations with questions about the construction of knowledge and the archive. A range of positions on the visual are represented in the collection. Without presenting an orthodoxy the book aims to promote new awarenesses of this important aspect of education history and the issues it raises.
Space and Time Under Persecution
"The rapid and radical transformations of the Nazi Era challenged the ways German Jews experienced space and time, two of the most fundamental characteristics of human existence. In Space and Time under Persecution, Guy Miron documents how German Jews came to terms with the harsh challenges of persecution-from social exclusion, economic decline, and relocation to confiscation of their homes, forced labor, and deportation to death in the east-by rethinking their experiences in spatial and temporal terms. Miron first explores the strategies and practices German Jews used to accommodate their shrinking access to public space, in turn reinventing traditional Jewish space and ideas of home. He then turns to how German Jews redesigned the annual calendar, came to terms with the ever-growing need to wait for nearly everything, and developed new interpretations of the past. Miron's insightful analysis reveals how these tactics expressed both the continuous attachment of Jews to key elements of German bourgeois life as well as their struggle to maintain Jewish agency and express Jewish defiance under Nazi persecution"--
The Holocaust and Masculinities
Critically assesses the experiences of men in the Holocaust. In recent decades, scholarship has turned to the role of gender in the Holocaust, but rarely has it critically investigated the experiences of men as gendered beings. Beyond the clear observation that most perpetrators of murder were male, men were also victims, survivors, bystanders, beneficiaries, accomplices, and enablers; they negotiated roles as fathers, spouses, community leaders, prisoners, soldiers, professionals, authority figures, resistors, chroniclers, or ideologues. This volume examines men’s experiences during the Holocaust. Chapters first focus on the years of genocide: Jewish victims of National Socialism, Nazi so...
Dynamics and Performativity of Imagination
In this interdisciplinary anthology, essays study the relationship between the imagination and images both material and mental. Through case studies on a diverse array of topics including photography, film, sports, theater, and anthropology, contributors focus on the role of the creative imagination in seeing and producing images and the imaginary.
Empirical Social Research
Social science methods such as surveys, observations and content analyses are used in market research, studies of contemporary history, urban planning and communication research. They are all the more needed by sociologists and empirically working political scientists. Whether in the context of evaluating a prevention programme or for surveying health behaviour or for a study on social mobility, the confident handling of the social science instruments is always a prerequisite for obtaining reliable results. This book provides important information for users and developers of these instruments. It deals with the theoretical foundations of the methods, the steps in the conception and implement...
Anthropology
Originally published in German, Christoph Wulf’s Anthropology sets its sights on a topic as ambitious as its title suggests: anthropology itself. Arguing for an interdisciplinary and intercultural approach to anthropology that incorporates science, philosophy, history, and many other disciplines, Wulf examines—with breathtaking scope—all the ways that anthropology has been understood and practiced around the globe and through the years. Seeking a central way to understand anthropology in the midst of many different approaches to the discipline, Wulf concentrates on the human body. An emblem of society, culture, and time, the body is also the result of many mimetic processes—the active acquisition of cultural knowledge. By examining the role of the body in the performance of rituals, gestures, language, and other forms of imagination, he offers a bold new look at how culture is produced, handed down, and transformed. Drawing such examinations into a comprehensive and sophisticated assessment of the discipline as a whole, Anthropology looks squarely at the mystery of humankind and the ways we have attempted to understand it.
Mosambik im pädagogischen Raum der DDR
1780 Fotografien sind zur „Schule der Freundschaft“, einem bilateralen Projekt der Bildungszusammenarbeit zwischen der DDR und der VR Mosambik, überliefert. In diesem einzigartigen Quellenkorpus, den Jane Schuch untersucht, manifestieren sich das Scheitern politisch-pädagogischer Erziehungsambitionen der DDR, die DDR-weiße Sicht auf das afrikanisch Andere und die Widerständigkeit der Jugendlichen. Für die mosambikanischen AbsolventInnen dieser Schule wird zugleich Fotografie selbst, jenseits pädagogisch-politischer Zumutungen, zum Spielraum der Selbststilisierung. Ihr Eigensinn durchbricht sowohl das politisch-pädagogische Projekt der Menschenformung als auch die Manifestationen w...
Bild und Text
Angesichts der Bedeutungszunahme der Dimension des Visuellen in öffentlichen und privaten Räumen gewinnt die Interpretation von bildhaftem Material im weitesten Sinne auch für erziehungswissenschaftliche Fragestellungen an Raum und Bedeu¬tung. Die Beiträge dieses Buches nähern sich dem spannungsreichen Verhältnis von Bild und Text aus unterschiedlicher Perspektive.
Gershom Scholem
Gershom Scholem (1897–1982) was ostensibly a scholar of Jewish mysticism, yet he occupies a powerful role in today’s intellectual imagination, having influential contact with an extraordinary cast of thinkers, including Hans Jonas, Martin Buber, Walter Benjamin, Hannah Arendt, and Theodor Adorno. In this first biography of Scholem, Amir Engel shows how Scholem grew from a scholar of an esoteric discipline to a thinker wrestling with problems that reach to the very foundations of the modern human experience. As Engel shows, in his search for the truth of Jewish mysticism Scholem molded the vast literature of Jewish mystical lore into a rich assortment of stories that unveiled new truths a...
