The Future of Christianity
The Future of Christianity offers a mature assessment of themes preoccupying David Martin over some fifty years, and acts as a complement to his earlier volume, On Secularization. Particular themes of focus include the dialectic of Christianity and secularization, the relation of Christianity to multiple enlightenments and modes of modernity, the enigmas of East Germany and Eastern Europe, and the rise of the transnational religious voluntary association, including Pentecostalism, as that feeds into vast religious changes in the developing world.
Religious Education at Schools in Europe
At a time when educational issues have increasingly come to determine the social and political discourse and major reforms of the education system are being discussed and implemented, and when migration has become a significant phenomenon, contributing to changes in the religious landscape of the European continent, it is highly appropriate to focus our attention on the concrete situation regarding religious education. This volume contains – again on the basis of thirteen key questions – the countries in Southeastern Europe (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Kosovo, Republic of North Macedonia, Montenegro, Romania, Serbia and Turkey). Beyond the all-important tasks of taking stock and making international comparisons, the aim of this book is to create a foundation for further action in the field of education, especially with regard to interfaith expertise.
The International status of education about the Holocaust
How do schools worldwide treat the Holocaust as a subject? In which countries does the Holocaust form part of classroom teaching? Are representations of the Holocaust always accurate, balanced and unprejudiced in curricula and textbooks? This study, carried out by UNESCO and the Georg Eckert Institute for International Textbook Research, compares for the first time representations of the Holocaust in school textbooks and national curricula. Drawing on data which includes countries in which there exists no or little information about representations of the Holocaust, the study shows where the Holocaust is established in official guidelines, and contains a close textbook study, focusing on the comprehensiveness and accuracy of representations and historical narratives. The book highlights evolving practices worldwide and thus provides education stakeholders with comprehensive documentation about current trends in curricula directives and textbook representations of the Holocaust. It further formulates recommendations that will help policy-makers provide the educational means by which pupils may develop Holocaust literacy.
Nationhood and Politicization of History in School Textbooks
This book explores how school history textbooks are used to perpetuate nationalistic policies within divided regions. Exploring the ‘divide and rule’ politics across ex-Yugoslav successor states, the editors and contributors draw upon a wide range of case studies from across the region. Textbooks and other educational media provide the foundations upon which the new generation build understanding about their own context and the events that are creating their present. By promoting nationalistic politics in such media, textbooks themselves can be used as tools to further promote and preserve ongoing hostility between ethnic groups following periods of conflict. This edited collection will appeal to scholars of educational media, history education and post-conflict societies.
Kampf um Deutungsmacht
Welche Rolle spielt Religion bei der Modernisierung und bei der Europäisierung der öffentlichen Bildung? Welche Rolle spielen dabei die internationalen Organisationen? In Bosnien und Herzegowina sind nach dem jüngsten Krieg die Bildungsakteure sowohl religiös als auch säkular, lokal und international. Deren Wirken ist eingebettet in den komplexen rechtlichen, sozio-politischen und soziokulturellen Kontext. Im vorliegenden Werk werden a) verschiedene Konzepte und Modelle der schulischen Religionsvermittlung, b) öffentliche Legitimierung dieser Modelle und c) das Handeln relevanter Akteure analysiert, das in Curricula- und Schulbuchproduktion ihren Ausdruck findet. Anhand der Resultate dieser drei Analyseschritte werden verschiedene Modernisierungsstrategien im Hinblick auf Religion in der Bildung herausgearbeitet.
Schulbuch und religiöse Vielfalt
Wie wird Religion in Bildung und Schulbüchern präsentiert? Religionsbezogene Analysen in Geschichts-, Ethik und Religionsschulbüchern unterschiedlicher Länder ergeben hinsichtlich der Konstruktion religiöser Vielfalt ein disparates Bild. Deutlich wird allerdings, dass alle Schulfächer im Hinblick auf religiöse und weltanschauliche Vielfalt vor ähnlichen Herausforderungen stehen. Eine Reihe von Beiträgen zeigt, dass Religionen in Bildungsmedien bisher nicht in ihren Wandlungen in den Blick genommen werden und die Grenzziehung zwischen Religion und »Nicht-Religion« unterbestimmt bleibt. Klar wird auch, dass die Debatte um den angemessenen Bildungszugang zu Religion in demokratischen Gesellschaften wieder an Dynamik gewonnen hat.
Die Reformation in europäischen Schulbüchern
Ausgehend vom Reformationsjubiläum im Jahr 2017 und der damit verknüpften Relevanz des religiösen und gesellschaftlichen Wandels, geht dieser Band auf die Darstellung der Reformation in Schulbüchern der Schweiz, Deutschlands, Großbritanniens und der drei Länder Südosteuropas Bosnien und Herzegowina, Serbien und Nordmazedonien ein. Bei der Analyse werden Geschichts- und Religionsbücher berücksichtigt und auf die tragenden Muster und Narrative hin untersucht. Die Resultate zeigen, dass die Reformation in den Schulbüchern grundsätzlich einen hohen Stellenwert hat. Allerdings ist das Übersetzungspotential des soziopolitischen und religiösen Erbes in die heutige Zeit und das Lehrpotential im Hinblick auf die (inner)religiöse und weltanschauliche Dynamiken noch lange nicht erschöpft.
Religion and the Conceptual Boundary in Central and Eastern Europe
This volume concentrates on the 'conceptual boundary' through Europe which is determined by Western and Eastern Christianity. The chapters show that the boundary has never been a stable and defined division, but that it was also subject to change and development and a place of encounter and exchange between religions and cultures.
Religious Diversity in Europe
Drawing on research funded by the European Commission, this book explores how religious diversity has been, and continues to be, represented in cultural contexts in Western Europe, particularly to teenagers: in textbooks, museums and exhibitions, popular youth culture including TV and online, as well as in political speech. Topics include the findings from focus group interviews with teenagers in schools across Europe, the representation of minority religions in museums, migration and youth subculture.
