This book explores what science fiction can tell us about the human condition in a technological world, with the ethical dilemmas and consequences that this entails. This book is the result of the joint efforts of scholars and scientists from various disciplines. This interdisciplinary approach sets an example for those who, like us, have been busy assessing the ways in which fictional attempts to fathom the possibilities of science and technology speak to central concerns about what it means to be human in a contemporary world of technology and which ethical dilemmas it brings along. One of the aims of this book is to demonstrate what can be achieved in approaching science fiction as a kind of imaginary laboratory for experimentation, where visions of human (or even post-human) life under various scientific, technological or natural conditions that differ from our own situation can be thought through and commented upon. Although a scholarly work, this book is also designed to be accessible to a general audience that has an interest in science fiction, as well as to a broader academic audience interested in ethical questions.

Ein gro er Teil der Ver ffentlichungen zum Thema Jugendsport geht der Frage nach, wie Jugendliche zu sportlicher Bet tigung motiviert werden k nnen, wobei der Fokus meist auf den Inhalten liegt. Diese Arbeit stellt jedoch den Zugang zum Sport in den Mittelpunkt. Daher werden hier die Bed rfnisse von Jugendlichen im Hinblick auf Sport und Bewegung untersucht und den bestehenden Strukturen im Sport gegen bergestellt. Die Diskrepanz zwischen den sportlichen Angeboten und den Bed rfnissen Jugendlicher wird durch die verst rkte Vereinsabwanderung und die Zuwendung zum Trend- und Funsportbereich deutlich. In dieser Arbeit wird ein neues Konzept pr sentiert, das die Bed rfnisse Jugendlicher ber cksichtigt und dadurch die Freude an Sport und Bewegung f rdert.
