Abstract

In der Glorifizierung des Berufsbildungssystem der Schweiz bleibt oftmals ungenannt, wie viel Mühe einzelne Jugendliche zu bewältigen haben, bis sie einen Ausbildungsplatz erhalten. Von der Bildungspolitik als »gefährdet« eingestuft, verfügen sie nicht nur über geringere Ausbildungschancen, auch stehen sie Lehrpersonen und Berufsberatungen gegenüber, die grundsätzlich an ihrer Ausbildungsreife zweifeln. Vor diesem Hintergrund zeigt Luca Preite, weshalb sich »gefährdete« Jugendliche in der Beratungspraxis des Übergangssystems oft quer stellen: Sich zu widersetzen ist schließlich die einzige verbleibende Möglichkeit, um den eigenen Werdegang aller Ungleichheit zum Trotz mitzugestalten.

Abstract

Cultural heritage is not just something from the past, but always also reflects contemporary needs and desires. In the Traces of the Cold War describes the making of a diverse and innovative Swedish military heritage. The book shows how memories and material remains from a period characterized by fear and geopolitical tensions are infused with new meanings when bunkers, decommissioned military facilities and technology are transformed into luxury housing, attractive tourist destinations and museum exhibitions.Through field-visits to military heritage sites across Sweden, the authors examine what material objects, narratives and emotions that today represent the Cold War. These examinations show how military structures and equipment from a time associated with threat and danger become captivating elements of the cultural heritage, while also communicating specific ideas regarding security and protection.In the Traces of the Cold War takes a novel approach to cultural heritage by relating collective memory-making to security policy. Based on theoretical perspectives from critical heritage studies (CHS) and feminist international relations (IR), the analysis focuses on constructions of national belonging and underlines the role of gender and sexuality in narrations of security and protection.In a democracy, the subject of military violence must always be a matter of ethical and political conversations. Setting out from this assumption, the authors critically discuss how Cold War heritagisation produces militarization as "natural" and necessary. The book invites reflection on how history is written as well as on what the requirements are for a safe and secure society.In the Traces of the Cold War presents the results from an interdisciplinary research project. The authors are all researchers at Stockholm University and have written the book together.

Abstract

This book, 'Decolonising Political Concepts', edited by Valentin Clavé-Mercier and Marie Wuth, offers a critical examination of the enduring coloniality embedded within political concepts. Through a transnational lens, it addresses the need to decolonize both theoretical frameworks and practical applications of political ideas. The book draws upon postcolonial and decolonial thinkers to demonstrate how political concepts can serve as tools of oppression, while highlighting efforts to decolonize these concepts to foster genuinely postcolonial academic and political contexts. It engages scholars from various disciplines and geographical contexts to explore concepts like agency, violence, freedom, and sovereignty, allowing readers to critically reflect on these constructs and consider alternative perspectives. The intended audience includes graduate students and scholars in international relations, social sciences, philosophy, and related fields.

Abstract

Numa altura em que a obra de Plutarco e a influência que exerceu sobre a tradição literária europeia e americana conhecem um redobrado interesse, não são frequentes as monografias dedicadas à presença de temas das vidas ou dos moralia na iconografia e nas artes em geral. É precisamente nesse domínio do saber menos tratado pelos historiógrafos do biógrafo de Queroneia que este volume pretende dar o seu contributo, ao analisar a forma como as palavras de Plutarco serviram de inspiração para criações no campo da pintura, do cinema e das artes decorativas.

Abstract

Franz Brentano (1838-1917) gilt als einer der einflussreichsten Philosophen an der Wende vom 19. zum 20. Jahrhundert. Dennoch sind die Philosophiehistoriker noch zu keinem endgültigen Urteil über seine Bedeutung gelangt. Der Grund hierfür ist vor allem darin zu suchen, dass Brentanos Werk bis heute nur unzureichend zugänglich ist, was vor allem daran liegt, dass der größte Teil davon nur in handschriftlicher Form existiert: Nach seinem unvollendet gebliebenen Hauptwerk, der Psychologie vom empirischen Standpunkt, hat Brentano keine größere Arbeit mehr veröffentlicht. Im ersten Teil analysiert Binder die Gründe für Brentanos zurückhaltende Publikationstätigkeit, wobei einerseits der konfliktbehaftete biographische Hintergrund und die komplexe Persönlichkeit des Philosophen, andererseits theoretische Probleme, eine psychologische Einheitswissenschaft zu formulieren, die ihn an der Fertigstellung seines Hauptwerks scheitern ließen, im Vordergrund stehen. Im zweiten Teil verfolgt der Autor die wechselhafte Geschichte von Brentanos philosophischem Nachlass, die ihrerseits die Rezeption seiner philosophischen Theorien stark behindert hat.

Abstract

Aristotle's zoological writings with their wealth of detailed investigations on diverse species of animals have fascinated medieval and Renaissance culture. This volume explores how these texts have been read in various traditions (Arabic, Hebrew, Latin), and how they have been incorporated in different genres (in philosophical and scientific treatises, in florilegia and encyclopedias, in theological symbolism, in moral allegories, and in manuscript illustrations). This multidisciplinary and multilinguistic approach highlights substantial aspects of Aristotle's animals.
