The history of travel has long been constructed and described
almost exclusively as a history of "European", male mobility,
without, however, explicitly making the gender and whiteness of the
travellers a topic. The anthology takes this as an occasion to
focus on journeys to Europe that gave "non-Europeans" the
opportunity to glance at "Europe" and to draw a picture of it by
themselves. So far, little attention has been paid to the questions
with which attributes these travellers endowed "Europe" and its
people, which similarities and differences they observed and which
idea(s) of "Europe" they produced. The focus is once again on
"Europe", but not as the starting point for conquests or journeys.
From a postcolonial and gender historical view, the anthology's
contributions rather juxtapose (self-)representations of "Europe"
with perspectives that move in a field of tension between
agreement, contradiction and oscillation.
Children and youth belong to one of the most vulnerable groups in
societies. This was the case even before the current humanitarian
crises around the world which led millions of people and families
to flee from wars, terror, poverty and exploitation. Minors have
been denied human rights such as access to education, food and
health services. They have been kidnapped, sold, manipulated,
mutilated, killed, and injured. This has been and continues to be
the case in both developed and developing countries, and it does
not look as if the situation will improve in the near future.
Rather, current geopolitical developments, political and economic
uncertainties and instabilities seem to be increasing the
vulnerability of minors, especially in the wars and armed conflicts
currently being waged not only in Europe, but on almost every
continent. How can risks children and youth are exposed to in times
of transition be reduced? Which role do state agencies,
non-governmental organisations, as well as children’s coping
strategies play in mitigating the vulnerabilities of minors? This
volume addresses risks to which children and young people are
exposed, especially in times of transition. The focus is on
different groups of children in the European wartime and post-war
societies of the Second World War, 'occupation children' in
Germany, teenage National Socialist collaborators in Norway, and
more recent cases such as child soldiers, refugee children, and
children of European “Islamic State” fighters. The
contributions come from international scholars and different
academic disciplines (educational and social sciences, humanities,
law, and international peace and conflict studies) and are based on
historical, quantitative, and/or qualitative analyses.
In diesem ersten Band der Reihe Revisited - Relekturen aus den
Gender und Queer Studies werden die Werke Ruckkehr nach Reims und
Gesellschaft als Urteil von Didier Eribon als Ausgangspunkt fur
Diskussionen um soziale Ungleichheit und Bildungsprozesse genommen.
Forscher*innen aus den Erziehungs- und Sozialwissenschaften, den
Literatur-, Kultur- und Medienwissenschaften fuhren die
Auseinandersetzung mit Eribons Texten mit unterschiedlichen
theoretischen und methodischen Zugangen und fragen danach, wie sie
sich zu anderen massgebenden Texten der sozialen Ungleichheits- und
Bildungsforschung verhalten. Was haben die Texte Eribons hier zu
bieten? Was eroeffnen sie? Was scheint zu verschwinden? Was liesse
sich anders relationieren? Als inter- und transdisziplinares,
kollaboratives Projekt fuhrt dieser Band Beitrage von Autor*innen
zusammen, die mit geschlechterhistorischen, rassismuskritischen,
de/postkolonialen, gender- und queertheoretischen sowie
intersektionalen Ansatzen arbeiten und diese in unterschiedlichen
Konstellationen miteinander ins Gesprach bringen. Mit Beitragen von
Gudrun Hentges, Karolin Kalmbach, Elke Kleinau, Bettina Kleiner,
Christian Loemke, Julia Reuter, Thomas Viola Rieske, Dirk Schulz,
Andrea Seier, Vanessa E. Thompson, Stephan Trinkaus und Susanne
Voelker. Alle Beitrage dieses Bandes wurden sowohl von den
Herausgeber*innen als auch extern begutachtet.
