Bildung in the Digital Age explores the challenges and potentials of digitalization for educational theory and practice and identifies how the pedagogical concept of Bildung can be used to meet these demands. Discussing the educational landscape of a pandemic and post-pandemic world, the book describes how digitalization changes the media foundation of learning and teaching. It further raises questions of how we could think about Bildung in a digitalized world, how Bildung-based online teaching and learning can be implemented, and whether it is possible to understand Bildung and its emphasis on individual freedom and self-determination as a counter-concept to digital surveillance capitalism. The book will appeal to academics, researchers, and postgraduate students in the fields of digital learning, educational theory, and media education.

This book offers a detailed theoretical analysis of the fields of learning and management in the digital age. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, it opens a dialogue between agile management theory and agile learning theory. The book argues that there is a tension between participative and action-orientated approaches on the one hand and neoliberal enclosure of the actor on the other hand. It takes this as an opportunity for interdisciplinary dialogue between learning theories and management concepts. With contributions from a range of international experts, chapters discuss the need for suitable theoretical, epistemological, and ethical foundations as well as practice-orientated methods for learning and management to implement appropriate strategies and meet educational challenges. This highly topical book will be of great interest to academics, postgraduate students, and researchers in the fields of digital learning, educational theory, management theory, and communication studies.

Digital Learning in Motion provides a theoretical analysis of learning and related learning media in society. The book explores how changing media affects learning environments, which changes the learning itself, showing that learning is always in motion. This book expounds upon the concept of learning, reconstructing how learning unfolds and analyzing the discourse around pedagogy and Bildung in the age of new digital media. It further discusses in detail the threefold relationship between learning and motion, considering how learning is based on motion, generated by new experiences and changes with the environment and through its own mediatization. The book presents a normative model that outlines how learning can be structured on the basis of society's values and self-understanding discourses in the digital age. This book will be of great interest for academics, postgraduate students, and researchers in the fields of digital learning and inclusion, education research, educational theory, communication and cultural studies.

Communication and Learning in an Age of Digital Transformation provides cross-disciplinary perspectives on digitization as social transformation and its impact on communication and learning. This work presents openness within its interpretation of the digital and its impact on learning and communication, acknowledging historical contexts and contemporary implications emerging from discourse on digitization. The book presents a triangulation of different research perspectives. These perspectives, which range from digital resistance parks and cyber-religious questions to cultural-scientific media-theoretical reflections, point to the performative openness of the analysis. The book represents an interdisciplinary approach and opens a space for understanding the social complexity of digital transformations in teaching and learning. This book will be of great interest to academics, post graduate students and researchers in the field of digital learning, communication and education research.

Der Band leistet eine theoretisch fundierte und praxisnahe Perspektivierung sozio-technischer Transformationsprozesse im Bereich Sozialer Arbeit. Dabei stehen die Inklusionspotentiale sowie die Exklusionsdynamiken im Fokus, die sich aus den sozio-technischen Transformationsprozessen ergeben. Auch wenn der Analysefokus den Paradigmen der Sozialen Arbeit verpflichtet ist, sind diese Analysen weit über die Soziale Arbeit hinaus relevant: Als Form ethischer Praxis bietet Soziale Arbeit die Möglichkeit, alternative soziale Praktiken in einer zunehmend diversen Gesellschaft zu erproben, zu reflektieren und in breitere gesellschaftliche Kontexte zu stellen.

David Kergel explores the questions of how free and self-determined we are in the digital age, whether the Internet encloses us or whether it opens up new spaces for diversity and education. The starting point is the thesis that the Internet is both heritage and future: postmodern spaces of freedom and neoliberal fixations of the electronic age unfold in the ubiquitous cultural space that digital media span. At the same time, the Internet restructures social spaces in the 'analog world', digitalizes self/world relations or forms digital cultures, which in turn form ourselves. For dealing with the ambivalence of the Internet between postmodern diversity and neoliberal subjectification, an understanding of media education based on educational theory is proposed. This book is a translation of the original German 1st edition Kulturen des Digitalen by David Kergel, published by Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden GmbH, part of Springer Nature in 2018. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors.

The essays in this volume all seek to answer the following broad question: How can philosophical, educational and critical approaches to corporate communications deepen our understanding of learning in the digital age? The authors reflect on how particular approaches, learning strategies, philosophers or critical theorists can advance the theory and practice of teaching and learning in the digital age. Each essay discusses key concepts from their work and relates those concepts to a particular problem within learning and teaching in the digital age.

The book offers a cross-disciplinary perspective on various aspects of precariousness in contemporary culture and society, concentrating on the topographical aspects of sources and causes of uncertainty and anxiety. Precariousness and precarity are themselves provisional and uncertain categories, though ones inviting to rethinking the scopes of precarity and precariousness from the perspective of locality and of places involved in their otherwise global range. The recent years have shown some ways in which precarity has changed its status and has become a strongly debated area not only in economic and political disputes, but also in philosophical debates and various fields of research related to cultural studies. The articles included in the volume address the spatial scope of anxieties and uncertainties involving numerous men and women affected by the several decades of the neoliberal insistence on various kinds of flexibility which, in turn, has put in motion numerous new mechanisms of exclusion and marginalization. Apart from this, a historical view on the making of precarious places is also offered in the pages of the book.

The book deals with precarity within the digital age and focuses on media change and social insecurity. Change arising from digital developments takes place on micro-, meso- and meta-levels and have always social implications. Concepts such as Social Media, eHealth and Digital Capitalism, Informational Capitalism and Social Exclusion, Digital Globalization and Motility frame the social dynamics and implications of changes in digital media. These changes evoke a double precarity or stable unstability: Social practices throughout the diverse societal fields are questioned through the media change which leads to a digital age. The ongoing media change requires new social practices - what evokes precarity as an ongoing insecurity how to face the `new digital world.As a socio-economic phenomenon and effect of neoliberal policy precarity changes life planning and self-narrations of the affected individuals. Precarity and neoliberal subjection-processes manifest in the digital age and are performatively re-produced by the way new media are used.

Der Band leistet eine bildungstheoretische Darstellung und empirische OEffnung von Bildungsethik fur die padagogische Praxis. Dabei bezeichnet Bildungsethik die Perspektivierung von Bildung nach ethischen Aspekten. Bildungstheoretische UEberlegungen zur Ethik werden in die Handlungsfelder padagogischer Praxis uberfuhrt. Im Sinne des interdisziplinaren Forschungsansatzes der integrativen Bildungsforschung wird mit der Bildungsethik eine empirische OEffnung normativer Ethik geleistet. Die Werteorientierung padagogischer Praxis erfahrt durch das Modell der Bildungsethik eine wissenschaftliche Fundierung.

Das Buch leistet eine genealogisch orientierte Rekonstruktion des Medienwandels und medienpadagogischer Positionen. Dabei wird neben Diskursformationen auch eine wirtschaftsanalytische Perspektive in die Rekonstruktion integrativ miteingebunden. Derart kann ein transdisziplinarer Zugang zu einem medienwissenschaftlichen und medienpadagogischen Verstandnis eroeffnet werden, welches die sozio-kulturellen und oekonomischen Dimensionen reflexiv miteinbindet. Vor dem Hintergrund dieser Analyse wird eine Profilbestimmung zeitgemasser Medienpadagogik entwickelt.

This book provides international and transdisciplinary perspectives on Hyperprecarity and Social Structural Transformations in European Societies, USA and Russia enforced through other special transformation processes such as digitalisation, migration and demographic change. It has been observed that precarity and social insecurity do not refer any longer only to certain groups of the society such as unemployed people or to those ones who are 'traditionally' more in need of social benefit etc. but it accompanies and affects greater parts of the society, particularly those sections of the middleclass who conceive their social identity merely via their work ethics. Consequentially new forms of social exclusion are being producing taxing the traditional social cohesion in European societies due to the demand of new forms of flexibility and mobility from the working people. This process can be termed with the notion 'Hyperprecarisation'.This book contains contributions from scientists all over Europe, Russia and the USA, who are members of the SUPI network "Social Uncertainty, Prequarity, Inequality". PD Dr. Rolf Hepp teaches at the Institut for Soziologie at the FU Berlin and coordinates the S.U.P.I.-Network. Dr. David Kergel teaches at Universitat Siegen, Medienwissenschaftliches Seminar. Dr. Robert Riesinger, (Prof. a.D., FH Joanneum Graz) is author and researcher for sociology in Steyerberg.

Der vorliegende Band liefert eine praxisorientierte und theoretisch fundierte Auseinandersetzung mit den Moeglichkeiten von E-Learning. Theorie und Praxis des digital gestutzten Lernens werden integrativ analysiert und anwendungsorientiert vermittelt. So werden lerntheoretisch fundierte Ansatze zur didaktischen Gestaltung von digital gestutzten Lehr-/Lernveranstaltungen dargestellt wie Strategien zum Qualitatsmanagement vermittelt.

Vor dem Hintergrund kultureller Diversitat und dem medialen Wandel ergibt sich die Herausforderung, die Begriffe Bildung und Lernen theoretisch zu diskutieren und deren Anforderungsprofile im Kontext padagogischer Praxis neu auszuloten. Der Sammelband thematisiert feldubergreifend in den Bereichen Erwachsenenbildung, Soziale Arbeit, Medienpadagogik und Hochschulbildung die Effekte der Digitalisierung und zeigt auf, wie ein diversitatssensibler Umgang mit Bildung und Lernen im Kontext gesellschaftlicher Transformationen gelingen kann.

Die Einfuhrung vermittelt das Basiswissen zu grundlegenden methodischen Zugangen der qualitativen Bildungsforschung. Dabei wird mit dem `integrativen Ansatz ein Forschungsvorgehen vorgestellt, das bildungstheoretische Reflexionen mit Methoden qualitativer Sozialforschung verbindet. Systematisch werden verschiedene methodische Ansatze qualitativer Sozialforschung in einer klar strukturierten UEbersicht in Begriffen, Definitionen und Anwendungen vorgestellt. Anhand von konkreten Beispielen aus der Forschungspraxis wird exemplarisch dargestellt, wie die einzelnen methodischen Ansatze in der qualitativen Bildungsforschung eingesetzt werden koennen. Auf diese Weise bietet der vorliegende Band eine leicht zugangliche und zugleich anwendungsorientierte Einfuhrung in Methoden qualitativer Bildungsforschung.

Im Zentrum dieses Buches steht die Fragestellung, wie forschendes Lernen angesichts eines sich beschleunigenden medialen Wandels und dem Phanomen der Globalisierung angemessen verstanden und eingesetzt werden kann. Es werden erkenntnistheoretische Thesen entfaltet, bildungs- sowie medientheoretische Positionen in Bezug auf das forschende Lernen diskutiert, methodische Fragestellungen anwendungsorientiert eroertert sowie Good Practice-Beispiele vorgestellt.
