This narrative ethnography adopts an aesthetic lens to relay the
various lived experiences of a non-traditional, Midwestern public
high school during its final year in its original building.
Extending upon previous research of high school dropouts, I examine
how this one particular high school incorporated a self-paced
curriculum with a focus on "family" to address the unique learning
needs of students at risk of not graduating. By employing elements
of grounded theory, narrative inquiry, and autoethnography, I share
the stories of Walgut High School's (a pseudonym) roughly sixty
students as they struggle to navigate their respective roles in a
dominant cultural narrative to which they've never felt like they
belonged. Through the extensive and organic voices of the primary
participants-as well as my observations of my own participation in
the school culture over the course of a year-this project serves to
offer insights not only into the school experiences of marginalized
adolescents, but also into Walgut's myriad successes and failures.
In particular, this piece highlights the vitality of
unconditionally caring or "hospitable" teachers (Derrida, 2000),
while ultimately questioning the presumed utility of a high school
diploma. The story concludes not by lauding the alternative mine
created for Walgut's canaries, but by questioning the purpose and
stability of all scholastic minds. As American schools continue
making strides to accommodate and support the complex and
oftentimes contradictory needs of their students, what it means to
succeed as a teacher in (and prepare teachers for) these
diversified, inclusive learning spaces is growing increasingly
complicated. Indeed, given the shifting paradigm of American public
education, teacher preparation programs must continue to adapt
their practices and philosophies in order to equip their teacher
candidates with the skills needed not only to thrive but also find
purpose and meaning in schools similar to this project's Walgut.
While this book doesn't claim to offer any answers to the myriad
questions concerning the future of public schools, it does endeavor
to offer a springboard from which all education stakeholders can
continue engaging in healthy and productive discussions of how best
to prepare students (and teachers) for autonomous, democratic,
curious, creative, and compassionate citizenship both in and apart
from their academic communities. To this end, rather than write
from a detached, traditionally academic vantage, I have sought in
these pages to compose from a personal (albeit limited), passionate
(albeit subjective) and participatory (albeit someone marginalized)
perspective. In my pursuit of social justice for the characters of
Walgut High School, I begin first by exposing my own privileged
role in perpetuating injustice. Only through recognizing and naming
our own demons can we ever begin to exorcize the System writ large.
Thus, in this book's lack, there is possibility; in its futility,
hope.

Was das Ausscheiden aus der Erbengemeinschaft durch Abschichtung
ist, lasst sich nicht in einem Satz beantworten. Leichter zu
erkennen ist die Funktion der Abschichtung. Danach ist sie ein seit
kurzem auch von der hoechstrichterlichen Rechtsprechung anerkanntes
"Instrument" dessen sich die Miterben bedienen koennen, wenn einer
von ihnen gegen Abfindung mit dinglicher Wirkung aus der
Erbengemeinschaft ausscheiden will. Sie erweist sich damit als
rechtliche Alternative zur UEbertragung des Nachlassanteils. Der
Verfasser zeigt alle Fragen zum Ausscheiden aus der
Erbengemeinschaft durch Abschichtung auf und beantwortet sie, wobei
er zu dem Ergebnis gelangt, dass eine dingliche Abschichtung zwar
moeglich ist, aber nicht empfehlenswert.
The photographic wall-mounted work, the so-called photomural,
became an epitome of the USA’s national art in the 1930s; also as
a counter-design to Mexican muralism. For the first time, Johanna
Spanke analyzes the extent to which the rise of the photomural can
be seen as emerging from a process of mediation between Mexico and
the United States; one in which national identity constructs and
discourses of modernity played a part, as well as negotiated
competition between media. This publication makes an important
contribution to perspectives on historical entanglements in U.S.
art history, bringing to the fore intermedial and transnational
debates, as well as gender-related factors. First study concerning
a forgotten photographic medium Prehistory to the photo wallpaper A

Sic Semper Tyrannis is a memoir about a time, not so long past,
when men were free, religious values were taken seriously. and
parents were allowed to pass on the cultural heritage to their
children without governmental interference. As David Selznick
remarked concerning the Antebellum South, "Look for it only in
books, for it is no more than a dream remembered, a Civilization
gone with the wind . . . " This fictional account is the story of
what might have been, had Christian parents possessed the courage
of their convictions. It depicts the use of spanking and other
types of physical correction, from the perspective of an adolescent
boy. Twelve year old Billy Martin has been suddenly uprooted from
the only home he knows, in liberal Stockholm, and sent to live with
his eighteen year old brother, Bob, who has recently joined an
ultra-conservative religious group in Idaho.Billy, a high-spirited
youth, has been allowed to run at loose ends for his entire life,
and has never experienced discipline of any kind. He now finds
himself in a vastly different world. Bob immediately sets about
bringing his kid brother into line, and giving him the "Biblical
discipline" that he, and the other sect members, consider essential
to proper child rearing. Billy strives to come to grips with the
new reality. While the characters are wholly imaginary, the issues
they confront are real, and threaten to undermine the very
foundations of our civilization. This work does not contain any
erotic material, but is a sobering assessment of today's child
rearing practices in the United States and Western Europe. This is
the twelfth volume of a more extensive saga, which traces the
course of Billy and his friends as they struggle through the years
of adolescence, and should be required reading for every adolescent
boy, his parents, and all those who seek to influence him.
