Book Synopsis Kultur, Bildung und Wandel 1987 – 2004 by : Sultan Bin Muhammad al-Qasimi
Download or read book Kultur, Bildung und Wandel 1987 – 2004 written by Sultan Bin Muhammad al-Qasimi and published by Georg Olms Verlag. This book was released on 2014-10-31 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Im vierten und letzten Band seiner Memoiren schildert der Emir von Sharjah, wie es nach dem gescheiterten Putschversuch im Juni 1987 weiterging. Er berichtet von seinen Aufgaben und Maßnahmen, seinen politischen und gesellschaftlichen Anliegen und Visionen. Mit dem Tod des Gründers der Vereinigten Arabischen Emirate, Shaikh Zayid bin Sultan Al Nahyan, im November 2004, schließen seine Erinnerungen. In den genannten Zeitraum fällt die irakische Invasion Kuwaits im Jahre 1990 – eine traumatisierende Erfahrung für die Bürger Sharjahs und der anderen Emirate, die sich in großer Zahl als Freiwillige meldeten, um ihre Nachbarn zu verteidigen. Sharjah und die VAE erlebten in diesen Jahren bedeutende Entwicklungen in den Bereichen Kultur und Bildung, aber auch in politischer Hinsicht. Mit der Gründung der Universität Sharjah und der Amerikanischen Universität von Sharjah sowie weiterer wichtiger Bildungsinstitutionen in den anderen Emiraten wuchs auch das akademische Angebot. 1998 wurde Sharjah zur arabischen Kulturhauptstadt gewählt. Dies geschah in Anerkennung des lebendigen, kulturfreundlichen Klimas, das sich etwa in der ab 1993 stattfindenden Sharjah Kunstbiennale zeigte oder in der steigenden Bedeutung der Buchmesse von Sharjah. Der Autor selbst erhielt in diesen Jahren zahlreiche Auszeichnungen, unter anderem vom Institut du Monde Arabe in Paris, außerdem Doktor- und Ehrendoktortitel von mehreren internationalen Universitäten. 2003 verlieh Frankreich Dr. Sultan al-Qasimi den renommierten Ordre des Arts et des Lettres und würdigte damit seine Leistungen in den in Bereichen Hochschulbildung, Wissenschaft, Kultur und Kunst und seine Unterstützung des Dialogs zwischen Orient und Okzident.
Book Synopsis Exploring Alterity in a Globalized World by : Christoph Wulf
Download or read book Exploring Alterity in a Globalized World written by Christoph Wulf and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-01-13 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume develops a unique framework to understand India through indigenous and European perspectives, and examines how it copes with the larger challenges of a globalized world. Through a discussion of religious and philosophical traditions, cultural developments as well as contemporary theatre, films and media, it explores the manner in which India negotiates the trials of globalization. It also focuses upon India’s school and education system, its limitations and successes, and how it prepares to achieve social inclusion. The work further shows how contemporary societies in both India and Europe deal with cultural diversity and engage with the tensions between tendencies towards homogenization and diversity. This eclectic collection on what it is to be a part of global network will be of interest to scholars and researchers of South Asian studies, philosophy, sociology, culture studies, and religion.

Book Synopsis International Handbook of Migration, Minorities and Education by : Zvi Bekerman
Download or read book International Handbook of Migration, Minorities and Education written by Zvi Bekerman and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-10-06 with total page 743 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Migrants and minorities are always at risk of being caught in essentialized cultural definitions and being denied the right to express their cultural preferences because they are perceived as threats to social cohesion. Migrants and minorities respond to these difficulties in multiple ways — as active agents in the pedagogical, political, social, and scientific processes that position them in this or that cultural sphere. On the one hand, they reject ascribed cultural attributes while striving towards integration in a variety of social spheres, e.g. school and workplace, in order to achieve social mobility. On the other hand, they articulate demands for cultural self-determination. This discursive duality is met with suspicion by the majority culture. For societies with high levels of migration or with substantial minority cultures, questions related to the meaning of cultural heterogeneity and the social and cultural limits of learning and communication (e.g. migration education or critical multiculturalism) are very important. It is precisely here where the chances for new beginnings and new trials become of great importance for educational theorizing, which urgently needs to find answers to current questions about individual freedom, community/cultural affiliations, and social and democratic cohesion. Answers to these questions must account for both ‘political’ and ‘learning’ perspectives at the macro, mezzo, and micro contextual levels. The contributions of this edited volume enhance the knowledge in the field of migrant/minority education, with a special emphasis on the meaning of culture and social learning for educational processes.
Book Synopsis Public Broadcasting and European Law by : Irini Katsirea
Download or read book Public Broadcasting and European Law written by Irini Katsirea and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2008-04-09 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This important book examines the challenges posed to public service obligations by European Union media law and policy. An in-depth analysis of the extent to which six countries (France, Germany, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom) regulate broadcasting for the public interest reveals a range of vulnerability to national political pressures or, alternatively, to the ideology of market sovereignty. The author examines the country of origin principle and the European quota rule of the Television without Frontiers Directive, revealing the influence of European law on the definition and enforcement of programme requirements, and shows how the case law of the European Court of Justice encourages deregulation at the national level without offering adequate safeguards at the supranational level in exchange. She asks the question whether the alleged ‘European audiovisual model’ actually persists—that is, whether broadcasting is still committed to protecting such values as cultural diversity, the safety of minors, the susceptibility of consumers to advertising, media pluralism, and the fight against racial and religious hatred. The book concludes with an evaluation of the impact of the EU state aid regime on the licence fee based financing of public broadcasting.

Book Synopsis Helmut Kohl's Quest for Normality by : Christian Wicke
Download or read book Helmut Kohl's Quest for Normality written by Christian Wicke and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2015-02-01 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During his political career, Helmut Kohl used his own life story to promote a normalization of German nationalism and to overcome the stigma of the Nazi period. In the context of the cold war and the memory of the fascist past, he was able to exploit the combination of his religious, generational, regional, and educational (he has a PhD in History) experiences by connecting nationalist ideas to particular biographical narratives. Kohl presented himself as the embodiment of “normality”: a de-radicalized German nationalism which was intended to eclipse any anti-Western and post-national peculiarities. This book takes a biographical approach to the study of nationalism by examining its manifestation in Helmut Kohl and the way he historicized Germany’s past.

Download or read book Cultivating Minds written by Urs Fuhrer and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2004 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cultivating Minds is a ground-breaking unification of the ideas of Simmel and contemporary perspectives in cultural psychology. The theoretical framework proposed is based on an integration of core philosophical, sociological, and psychological ideas from the intellectual traditions of pragmatism, socioculturalism, constructivism, and transactionalism. The primary focus of this work is on cultivation as a metaphor for identity formation. According to this idea, each and every human agent is an active producer of its own development and identity. The cultivation model expands existing sociocultural perspectives by elaborating further how an individual's cultivation of the sociocultural environment is mediated through artefacts and objects, a concept exemplified by the identity processes demonstrated by graffiti artists. The idea of the cultured mind has profound implications not only for cultural psychology but also for theories of identity and, of course, development. It affects the way we understand the formation of the self and, in the end, the growth of the person. The result is a theory which captures the convergence between identity, culture and development in new and far-reaching ways.

Book Synopsis Radical Change in Everyday Life by : Thomas Druyen
Download or read book Radical Change in Everyday Life written by Thomas Druyen and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-03-28 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume deals with a key concept concerning the future: change. It is omnipresent and yet is often only perceived in retrospect. The book’s editor and founder of Psychological Future Management argues that we are currently experiencing the beginning of the most radical and profound change in human history. This is the right moment to analyze people’s ability to change more precisely. In this first, representative study, Germany was chosen as an example. The results serve as a basis for further psychological, sociological and prospective considerations. The Germans obviously have great resilience and problem-solving competence. At the same time, however, they are one-sidedly fixated on maintaining the economic status quo and fear negative changes in the future. Their social milieus are permeated by contradictions. The wealthy, in particular, are tied to security concerns and are therefore unwilling to experiment and take risks, two qualities without which a future in times of exponential change can hardly be managed. What could other countries and societies learn from these descriptions of the current state of one of the world’s leading countries? The entire subject revolves around this question. The psychological effects of digitization and artificial intelligence also play a role, as they put our neuronal and emotional habits under enormous pressure. How can we improve our future competence and learn to adapt new knowledge more quickly and continuously? Against this background, the phenomenon of change will be examined and discussed from various national and international perspectives.
Book Synopsis Postwar History Education in Japan and the Germanys by : Julian Dierkes
Download or read book Postwar History Education in Japan and the Germanys written by Julian Dierkes and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-12-14 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did East and West Germany and Japan reconstitute national identity after World War II? Did all three experience parallel reactions to national trauma and reconstruction? History education shaped how these nations reconceived their national identities. Because the content of history education was controlled by different actors, history education materials framed national identity in very different ways. In Japan, where the curriculum was controlled by bureaucrats bent on maintaining their purported neutrality, materials focused on the empirical building blocks of history (who? where? what?) at the expense of discussions of historical responsibility. In East Germany, where party cadres controlled the curriculum, students were taught that World War II was a capitalist aberration. In (West) Germany, where teachers controlled the curriculum, students were taught the lessons of shame and then regeneration after historians turned away from grand national narratives. This book shows that constructions of national identity are not easily malleable on the basis of moral and political concerns only, but that they are subject to institutional constraints and opportunities. In an age when post-conflict reconstruction and reconciliation has become a major focus of international policies, the analysis offers important implications for the parallel revision of portrayals of national history and the institutional reconstruction of policy-making regimes.
Book Synopsis The Diversity of Social Pedagogy in Europe by : Jacob Kornbeck
Download or read book The Diversity of Social Pedagogy in Europe written by Jacob Kornbeck and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2009 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Situated at the intersection between social work and education, social pedagogy is an original and dynamic academic and professional tradition. It can be found across most European countries and shows great variety, being closely connected to specific national - and sometimes even regional cultures and structures. Yet despite this diversity, social pedagogy also has many common features, cross-nationally. The aim of the book is to illustrate this diversity via a selection of case studies from Denmark, France, Germany, Poland and Sweden. Although social pedagogy is, in many countries, a profession that represents a sizeable workforce, very little has been written about it from a European perspective. Comparative literature tends to look at social work, whereby social pedagogy is obscured. But while there is a lack of comparative social pedagogy literature, interest in social pedagogy is growing. This is particularly so in the United Kingdom where no social pedagogy tradition exists but policy developments point to the emergence of a social pedagogy paradigm both in academia and in terms of careers. This book aims to help fill the gap. Case studies deal with theoretical and practical aspects of social pedagogy, professional education, fields of practice and research as well as links with other academic and professional paradigms.
