Islamic theology had to wait a long time before being granted a place in the European universities. That happened above all in German-speaking areas, and this led to the development of new theological and religious pedagogical approaches. This volume presents one such approach and discusses it from various perspectives. It takes up different theological and religious pedagogical themes and reflects on them anew from the perspective of the contemporary context. The primary focus is on contemporary challenges and possible answers from the perspective of Islamic theology and religious pedagogy. It discusses general themes like the location of Islamic theology and religious pedagogy at secular E...
Michael Haneke is one of Europe's most successful and controversial film directors. Awarded the Palme d'Or and numerous other international awards, Haneke has contributed to and shaped contemporary auteur cinema and is becoming more and more popular among academics and cinephiles. His mission is as noble as it is provocative: he wants "to rape the audience into independence," to wake them up from the lethargy caused by the entertainment industry. The filmic language he employs in this mission is both highly characteristic and efficient, and yet his methods are open to criticism for their violence toward and manipulation of the audience. The aim of this book is to analyze critically Haneke's aesthetics, his message, as well as his ethical motivation from an interdisciplinary and intercultural perspective. Contributors to the book come from a variety of academic disciplines and cultural backgrounds-European and North American.
Whenever people from different cultural and religious backgrounds converge, it produces tension and ambivalence. This study delves into conflicts in interreligious educational processes in both theory and practice, presenting the results of empirical research conducted at schools and universities and formulating ground-breaking practical perspectives for interreligious collaboration in various religious-pedagogical settings.
This book brings together two topics which have both been of increasing interest in different countries. The first refers to the quality of Religious Education as a school subject (RE) in general, the second is about the education of teachers of RE and its possible contribution to better quality RE. There have been many public, and often controversial, debates concerning both of these topics. The chapters contained in this volume, however, are not meant to continue such debates (even if it is inevitable that they will contribute to these debates as well), but to make use of research, especially research on teacher education in the field of RE, in order to provide insights based not just on political or personal opinions, but on rigorous academic scholarship.
This study charts Wolfgang Borchert's development from a rebellious teenager with a passion for acting, via his service in the Wehrmacht and his imprisonment by the Nazis, to his brief, but intense career as an important postwar dramatist and writer of short stories.
The legacy of emigrés in the British film industry, from the silent film era until after the Second World War, has been largely neglected in the scholarly literature. Destination London is the first book to redress this imbalance. Focusing on areas such as exile, genre, technological transfer, professional training and education, cross-cultural exchange and representation, it begins by mapping the reasons for this neglect before examining the contributions made to British cinema by emigré directors, actors, screenwriters, cinematographers, set designers, and composers. It goes on to assess the cultural and economic contexts of transnational industry collaborations in the 1920s, artistic cosmopolitanism in the 1930s, and anti-Nazi propaganda in the 1940s.
This volume features chapters by international experts in education, sociology, and theology who consider a range of challenges faced by educators in primary and secondary schools that are becoming increasingly diverse in terms of the ethnic and religious backgrounds of pupils. From the non-religious, to the refugee, to student fundamentalism and even radicalization—these multiple, fresh approaches analyze the dynamics of the changing pedagogical landscape in an age of ever increasing globalization and cultural plurality. Today’s classrooms are often the most crucial spaces where children and adolescents encounter new cultural, religious, and other worldviews. Increasingly, teachers are ...
Schreiben Lernende, welche die Qualität von argumentativen Texten wie Erörterungen realistisch einschätzen, auch bessere Erörterungen? Wie kann man die Fähigkeit von Lernenden, argumentative Texte hinsichtlich ihrer Qualität zu beurteilen, fördern? Und wie stellt sich die Textqualität von argumentativen Texten aus Sicht von Lernenden dar? Ausgehend von diesen Fragestellungen wurde im Rahmen dieser Studie ein didaktisches Verfahren entwickelt, welches Textbeurteilungskompetenz von Lernenden durch die didaktische Fokussierung auf metatextuelle Strategien der Textbeurteilung anbahnt. In einer Interventionsstudie wurde dieses didaktische Verfahren empirisch in seiner Wirksamkeit überprÃ...
Seit über einem Jahrzehnt findet Islamunterricht inzwischen an staatlichen Schulen in unterschiedlichen Varianten und Modellen statt. Die Praxis wurde durch die Etablierung der islamischen Theologie an mehreren Universitäten und pädagogischen Hochschulen begleitet. Beide Prozesse haben eine bemerkenswerte Entwicklungsdynamik in religionspädagogischer Hinsicht vorangetrieben, die u. a. zur Profilbildung eines islamischen Bildungsangebots an staatlichen Schulen geführt hat. Hervorzuheben sind insbesondere religionsdidaktische Arbeiten, die in den letzten Jahren entstanden sind, aber aus verschiedenen Gründen noch keinen Zugang zum wissenschaftlichen Diskurs über didaktische Theorien und...
In the academic, educational and political activities of the theologian and religious educator, Martin Jäggle, one of the chief concerns is to help build a »culture of recognition«. In his research, he seeks to give a voice to those who are not given a voice in matters of education and schooling, society, politics, religion and the church. By entering into dialogue with key texts of Martin Jäggle, scholars from different disciplines – particularly Catholic, Protestant and Islamic religious education, education, political science, social ethics, religious studies, philosophy and theology – develop perspectives that can open up the way to an interdisciplinary theory of the culture of recognition.
