Diese Studie widmet sich der Aufarbeitung der "Deutschen Soziologie", die wahrend der 1920er Jahre innerhalb voelkisch-nationalistischer Kreise interdisziplinar entwickelt wurde. Der Zugang erfolgt uber die biographische Annaherung an einen der Hauptakteure, den Leipziger Soziologen Gunther Ipsen. Sein Werdegang vom Frontkampfer zum Vordenker der NS-Agrarsoziologie wird vor dem gesellschaftlichen Hintergrund der Weimarer Republik analysiert. Ipsens interdisziplinare Theoriebildung diente der praktisch-politischen Zielsetzung eines autarken "Grossdeutschlands" Er stellte "ganzheitliche", deutsche Wissenschaft einer "zersetzenden", "westlichen" Empirie gegenuber und legte damit Grundlagen fur spatere Plane zur ethnischen "Neuordnung Europas". Diese Arbeit wurde 2012 mit dem Foerderpreis Agrargeschichte ausgezeichnet.

Die Arbeit beschaftigt sich mit Viktor Pelevins Roman Capaev i Pustota und ruckt dabei die literarischen Verfahren des Autors, die seinen Schreibstil charakterisieren, in den Mittelpunkt der Analyse. Auf der inhaltlichen Ebene des Romans wird die das Bewusstsein krank machende Wirkung der Medien aufgezeigt. In der asthetischen Form des Romans werden dagegen Strategien des Buddhismus verwirklicht, die als heilende Gegenmassnahme verstanden werden koennen. Methodisch geht die Arbeit zunachst werkimmanent vor und greift dabei auf die kommunikationstheoretisch fundierte Narratologie zuruck. Abschliessend wird der Roman im Ganzen als "literar-buddhistisch gepragter Antimedienroman" charakterisiert.

Debbie Allen's contemporary retelling of the classic tale The Twelve Dancing Princesses with illustrations from Kadir Nelson! Reverend Knight can't understand why his twelve sons' sneakers are torn to threads each and every morning, and the boys aren't talking. They know their all-night dancing wouldn't fit with their father's image in the community. Maybe Sunday, a pretty new nanny with a knack for getting to the bottom of household mysteries, can crack the case. This modern, hip retelling of the classic tale The Twelve Dancing Princesses bursts with vibrant artwork and text that's as energetic as the twelve toe-tapping Knight brothers themselves. "A funky, fresh adaptation." -Publishers Weekly "This is a high-flying alternative to the tale's usual dainty renditions." -Kirkus Reviews

Im Rahmen der Debatte um Kompetenzen seit den PISA-Testungen 2000 und den sich anschliessenden Bildungsreformen will diese Arbeit den Entwicklungen im Bereich der schulischen Vermittlung und UEberprufung von Kenntnissen und Fahigkeiten am Beispiel literarischen Lernens nachgehen. Die Auseinandersetzung gilt zunachst der Frage nach einem tragfahigen Bildungsbegriff oeffentlicher Schulen im Spannungsfeld von Bildungstheorie, empirischer Bildungsforschung und bildungspolitischer Steuerung. In einem weiteren Schritt werden Chancen und Grenzen der empirischen wie fachdidaktischen Modellierung literarischer Rezeptionskompetenz beleuchtet. Vor diesem Hintergrund gibt die Untersuchung von Prufaufgaben fur den Mittleren Schulabschluss im Fach Deutsch Auskunft uber die bildungsadministrative Auslegung von Kompetenz im Umgang mit literarischen Texten. Im Anschluss werden Lernaufgaben aus Deutschlehrwerken fur die 10. Klasse auf ihre Konzeptualisierungen literarischer Kompetenz hin analysiert. Dabei lasst sich eine deutliche Ruckwirkung der Einfuhrung von Bildungsstandards und einer neuen Test- und Prufaufgabenkultur auf die Didaktisierung literarischen Lernens nachzeichnen.

Diese Biografie ist der erste Versuch, Leben und Wirken des fast vergessenen fuhrenden Junghegelianers Theodor Echtermeyer zu rekonstruieren. Obgleich infolge seines fruhen Todes viele entscheidende Quellen nicht uberliefert sind, gelingt es dem Autor, ein schlussiges Bild von Echtermeyers Persoenlichkeit zu entwerfen, seine Rolle als Initiator und Mitherausgeber der Hallischen Jahrbucher zu zeigen und seine bedeutende konzeptionelle Leistung anzudeuten. Ein Anhang von Texten, darunter drei Erstveroeffentlichungen, unterstutzt dieses Anliegen.

Die Entwicklung der elektronischen Medien hat in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten den universitaren Alltag grundlegend verandert. Das gilt wohl in besonderem Masse fur die Forschung; unberuhrt von diesen Entwicklungen ist aber auch die Lehre nicht geblieben. Ein besonders wirksames Zauberwort dieser jungeren Entwicklung lautet eLearning. Damit verbinden sich Hoffnungen ganz unterschiedlicher Art, von einem hoeheren Mass an Anschauung uber motivationale Effekte bis hin zu mehr Eigenstandigkeit in der Aneignung von Wissen auf der Seite der Lernenden. Nach der anfanglichen Euphorie haben sich aber zunehmend auch kritische Stimmen zu Wort gemeldet. Welche Rolle die Neuen Medien fur die Erzeugung und Vermittlung mediavistischen Wissens spielen koennen, danach fragt dieser Band.

This book proposes a new encompassing theoretical framework for the study of immigration. Ewa Morawska provides a systematic comparative examination of the experience of turn-of-the-twentieth-century and present-day immigrants, and of eight contemporary immigrant groups in the United States. Within this interpretative framework, Morawska examines four major issues informing current sociological studies of immigration: mechanisms and effects of international migration, processes of immigrants' assimilation and transnational engagements, and the adaptation patterns of the second generation. This study focuses on the interactive framework in which immigrants, responding to circumstances not of their choosing, nonetheless make history. Though the book is shaped by an underlying theoretical framework, the key theoretical issues are explored through a comparison of eight different groups, providing rich, empirical, grounded material. As the groups range widely in origins and immigrant experiences, they shed light on one of the salient aspects of the contemporary immigrant phenomenon, namely its diversity. The concluding chapter offers a thoughtful review of the main agendas of immigration research in different regions of the world followed by the author's suggestions regarding better-informed cross-national/regional studies in this field.
