Filling a gap in the literature on the history of sport in Europe, the book brings together complementary studies on diverse aspects of the interrelation between sport and urban space. Going from geography to political science, from sports history to urban and transport history, it suggests a three-fold approach. A first thematic group of researches ranges around "Sport Development and Urban Spaces", exploring the impact of the city on the rise of sport. A second focal point is related to "Sport Policies and Local Identities" with a special attention given to the making of sport venues and competitions in the making of urban identity. A third thematic group includes studies on "Sport Facilities, Engineers and Workers". The articulation of the three parts builds a unique contribution to the process of identity making at a European level. [less ▲]

This unique book brings together an international roster of contributors to compare different education systems and their effects on social inequality. Starting with basic premises—such as how education systems can be characterized and what distinguishes them—the book goes on to explore those systems’ links with social structures, their role in expanding or ameliorating inequality, and the social mechanisms that underlie that role. It will be crucial to future debates on education and policy reform. [less ▲]

Le geste ne peut être considéré en lui-même et pour lui-même qu’en se plaçant dans une perspective restrictive. En effet, le mouvement volontaire s’inscrit dans une action, et dans tous les cas, il est tributaire d’un contexte. Le mouvement est bien ce qui permet d’accéder au monde : ne dit-on pas de certains malades, pourtant conscients, qu’ils « sont murés en eux-mêmes », signifiant ainsi que le rôle de passeur de sens du mouvement est à jamais perdu ? L’une des difficultés majeures dans les tentatives d’harmonisation entre domaines provient du fait qu’il est délicat de faire coïncider les données provenant des champs neurophysiologique et biologique avec celles issues de modèles linguistiques. C’est pourquoi nous avons demandé à des chercheurs appartenant à diverses disciplines (philosophie, psychologie expérimentale, sociologie, linguistique et phonétique) d’illustrer la notion de « sémiotique du mouvement ». Un premier volet s’attache à préciser les enjeux théoriques du mouvement, de sa conception à sa représentation et à sa réalisation, d’une manière générale et dans ses rapports à la vision et à la parole. La deuxième et la troisième section apportent des éclairages plus spécifiques en focalisant le propos sur les aspects linguistiques. [less ▲]

Whether in finance, care provision or education, current crises affect the stability of models of legitimation, and need to be reconsidered in the context of scientific and political debates. Are forms of legitimation of, say, democracy, service provision, social inequalities and claims to truth or rule becoming fragile? Are new interpretive horizons appearing in discourses of crisis, or are the received, previously unquestioned models of justification perhaps becoming even more convincing? The essays in this anthology investigate the development and course of the fault lines in justification in areas as diverse as politics, finance and labor, education, academia and the media.

Die Welt ist im Wandel und mit ihr die Kunst. Was ist die nächste Kunst? Welche Themen werden künftig wichtig? Welche Formen, Methoden, Verfahrensweisen und Praktiken setzen sich durch? Welche Folgen hat das für das Denken über Bildung und Vermittlung der "nächsten Kunst"?Band 2 der Reihe "What's Next?" ist ein Reader. Er versammelt Essays, Interviews, Thesen, Manifeste und Zitate, die im Anschluss an den ersten Band "What´s Next ? Kunst nach der Krise" (herausgegeben von Johannes M. Hedinger und Torsten Meyer, Berlin 2013) Möglichkeiten der Verkoppelung von Kunst und Bildung - in der Schule, im Museum und an anderen Orten - thematisiert. Die Beiträge nehmen zum Teil Bezug auf Texte aus dem ersten Band, auf das Buch im Ganzen oder auf parallele Entwicklungen und Beobachtungen. Wie bereits im ersten Band wurden die Beiträge mit Blick auf den internationalen Diskurs und globalen Kontext zusammengestellt. Es gibt deshalb Beiträge in deutscher als auch in englischer Sprache.Das Buch soll Kunstlehrer_innen, Kunstvermittler_innen und Studierende anregen, die Verknüpfung von Kunst und Pädagogik vor dem Hintergrund der nächsten Kunst neu zu (be)denken. Es unterbreitet auch konkrete Vorschläge für Praxis, die helfen zu imaginieren, was Kunstpädagogik im fortgeschrittenen 21. Jahrhundert bedeuten könnte.Versammelt sind rund 120 Essays und Interviews sowie über 100 Thesen, Manifeste und Zitate von insgesamt weit über 200 Autor_innen zum Thema des möglichen Nächsten im Feld der Kunstpädagogik.Darunter finden sich unterschiedliche Denkanstöße von Marina Abramovic, Maria Acaso, Paolo Bianchi, Franz Billmayer, Nicolas Bourriaud, Bündnis kritischer Kulturpraktikerinnen, Sara Burkhardt, Jacques Derrida, Mary Drinkwater, James Elkins, Sabine Gebhardt-Fink, Lady Gaga, Neil Gaiman, Priska Gisler, Jean-Pierre Grüter, Talita Groenendijk, Jan Grünwald, Robert Hausmann, Johannes Hedinger, Christine Heil, Antonia Hensmann, Emiel Heijnen, Alexander Henschel, Gerrit Höfferer, Marike Hoekstra, Selma Holo, Christina Inthoff, Henry Jenkins, Peter Jenny, Konrad Jentzsch, Benjamin Jörissen, Notburga Karl, Lennart Krauß, Gesa Krebber, Marie-Luise Lange, Heinrich Lüber, Nanna Lüth, Oliver Marchart, Paul Mecheril, Markus Miessen, Carmen Mörsch, Chantal Mouffe, Karl-Josef Pazzini, Peter Piller, Stephan Porombka, Jacques Rancière, Irit Rogoff, Lisa Rosa, Andrea Sabisch, Ansgar Schnurr, Diederik Schoenau, Ulrich Schötker, Konstanze Schütze, Bernadett Settele, Michel Serres, Stefan Seydel, Keri Smith, Cornelia Sollfrank, Marcus Steinweg, Nora Sternfeld, Sabine Sutter, Adam Szymczyk, Sally Tallant, Kevin Tavin, Kristin Westphal, Georg Winter, Manuel Zahn, Jutta Zaremba, Rahel Ziethen und vielen anderen.

As contemporary education becomes increasingly tied to global economic power, national school systems attempting to influence one another inevitably confront significant tensions caused by differences in heritage, politics, and formal structures. Trajectories in the Development of Modern School Systems provides a comprehensive theoretical and empirical critique of the reform movements that seek to homogenize schooling around the world. Informed by historical and sociological insight into a variety of nations and eras, these in-depth case studies reveal how and why sweeping, convergent reform agendas clash with specific institutional policies, practices, and curricula. Countering current theoretical models which fail to address the potential pressures born from these challenging isomorphic developments, this book illuminates the cultural idiosyncrasies that both produce and problematize global reform efforts and offers a new way of understanding curriculum as a manifestation of national identity.

6th Triennial of Photography, MK&G Hamburg When we share more than everThe show “When We Share More Than Ever” consists of 246 works. It is the very nature of sharing in the digital age that (most) visual information is treated horizontally: democratically not in the sense of a philosophical prerogative, but rather a form of free-to-choose availability that is – at least partially – neutrally presented. This form of neutrality is based on a supposed pragmatic objectivity. Just think about Google Image Search. If I can have it at my fingertip, I am the one to make the decision. With the aforementioned in mind, we have created a central-access exhibition layout, which takes as a primary motif the ambition of the inventory. From all that we have heard, been told, seen and experienced, the show and its meta-narrative is dealing with (and producing) different forms and formats of the archival. Even the (forthcoming) blog functions as an archive. Producing a (spatial) inventory of all works (which you will find in this document), we have studied each “sharing”-cluster, investigating size against content and vice versa. The central driving force of our investigation is considering the huge number of works on show, the archival nature of the collection, and the meta-context of the Triennial as a form of Future Archive. Hence, our proposal for the show is dealing with the inherent relationship between art and trade, which – especially at the Museum für Kunst & Gewerbe – has, historically, been a major focal point. The exhibition design interrogates the role, function, and contextualization of an individual work within a cluster and the show at large. Moreover, it interrogates the relationship between different works as well as the role and position of the artist(s). In an exhibition format that attempts to unite 13 institutions (+ 38 satellite shows) within a content framework dealing with a specific form of production and output, photography and film, this underlying narrative of the archival becomes even more relevant. The exhibition design works around a single concept of hanging, which is horizontally organized around a 1,2m baseline. This form of organization produces a fixed horizontal datum. It further means that each work has to negotiate as well as that is has to be negotiated – it produces an archival show in its purest form. All physical elements and objects to be built react to the very same datum and are cut off vertically at the horizontal datum. This form of vertical and horizontal display allows for a no-nonsense inventory that formulates a framework for a virtual-era Neue Sachlichkeit. As part of our design, we would like to propose to go even a step further and remove any physically present information about artist(s) and work(s). Each individual work on the wall (or in space) would simply be allocated with a number, underlining the intrinsic relationship between spatial installation and the printed matter guide, which will act as a deciphering manual for the entire exhibition. The setting up of such scaffold and borderlines is crucial as each individual member of the audience to the project needs to take a position. Taking a position always has consequences. Only when a border is acknowledged, understood and recognised it can be broken, transgressed or (mis)used. By deliberately producing such agonistic field of (productive) encounters, the design aims to nurture and exploit notions of misunderstanding(s) and a pro-active outlook on the value of failure as the starting point of all forms of experiment. We understand the design of the show to act both as an act of enabling (facilitating consensus), as well as an act of disabling (exploiting dissensus).

"Born in New York in 1975, Taryn Simon is at the forefront of contemporary photography practice. Her artistic medium is based around three equal elements: photography, text, and graphic design, which combined investigate the limitations of absolute understanding, examining the gaps between each element and how this can lead to disorientation and ambiguity. Simon's work ranges in focus and scope from a series of examinations of legal function specific to the United States: The Innocents, An American Index of the Hidden and Unfamiliar, and Contraband; to a four-year examination of politics, history and individual agency on a global scale: A Living Man Declared Dead and Other Chapters; to works based on obscure and little-known stories and archives, addressing the nature of the production and circulation of knowledge: Black Square and The Picture Collection. Committed but never limited to these concerns, Simon's work has established her as a pre-eminent exponent of a practice that engages equally with issues of pressing importance in the modern world, and with the politics of representation. Published in close collaboration with the artist, this publication is the first to draw together Taryn Simon's diverse and complex range of projects, produced since 2002. With new and published essays by amongst others Salman Rushdie, Homi Bhabha, Daniel Baumann, Tim Griffin, Tina Kuklieski, Hans Ulrich Obrist and Elisabeth Sussman. With an introduction by Simon Baker, Curator of Photography at Tate Modern."--Tate Publishing. [less ▲]

The current retrenchment of the welfare states is buffering the growing demographic and economic pressures in European countries at the expense of the young and the elderly. However, both investment in the young, which determines a society’s future, and providing public support for the elderly, the most deserving needy group, are seen as musts. This book encompasses a selection of empirical studies reflecting on when and why the young and the elderly are at risk in several (mostly Western) European countries. Contributions in the book examine the educational achievement and the labor market entry of youths, particularly those who have a migration background, the poverty risk experienced by the elderly, especially if they are also immigrants and/or women, the pension outcomes of former cross-border workers, the simulated consequeces of a recent pension benefit reform as well as those of a potential reform including financial assets and housing wealth in old-age income protection, and finally the extent, and possible erosion, of the support for government providing child-care and protecting the elderly. Preface – Wim van Oorschot Introduction – Ioana Salagean, Catalina Lomos & Anne Hartung 1. Does ethnic capital contribute to the educational outcomes of individuals with Turkish background in Europe? – Sait Bayrakdar 2. Young adults at risk in Germany: The impact of vocational training on the ethnic gap at labour market entry – Anne Hartung 3. Poverty among elderly immigrants in Belgium – Line De Witte, Sofie Vanassche & Hans Peeters 4.

Parmi les dix premiers sites visités au monde, Wikipédia est désormais d’un usage courant dans le milieu éducatif et scientifique. Mais quelles sont exactement les relations que les chercheurs ont nouées avec la plus célèbre encyclopédie participative et collaborative en ligne ? Tel est l’objet de ce livre collectif et interdisciplinaire, où alternent études de cas et réflexions transversales. En observant la participation des chercheurs et experts à Wikipédia, l’ouvrage cherche notamment à identifier des enjeux en termes d’intermédiation des savoirs, de structuration et de reconnaissance d’un champ ou de diffusion de la culture scientifique. Il a aussi pour ambition de présenter les problématiques soulevées par les chercheurs qui se sont saisis de Wikipédia en tant qu’objet de recherche, pour étudier la transformation des formes de savoir, les processus d’élaboration des articles et la gouvernance de l’encyclopédie. Ce tour d’horizon revient pour finir sur les modes d’utilisation de Wikipédia par les chercheurs et les enseignants dans le cadre de leur activité scientifique ou pédagogique, pour en saisir aussi bien les modalités effectives que les représentations relevant du discours ou de l’imaginaire. Les douze contributions qui composent cet ouvrage en attestent : Wikipédia est bien un objet scientifique émergent, et les auteurs ici réunis nous aident à mieux l’identifier. [less ▲]

Les thérapies génériques (thérapies cognitivo-comportementale, interpersonnelles, etc.) ont fait leurs preuves, mais un nombre substantiel de personnes traitées continue à présenter des symptômes résiduels ou rechutent rapidement.   Le développement de nouvelles interventions psychologiques focalisées sur les dysfonctionnements psychologiques spécifiques est alors primordial et représente un défi important pour la psychologie clinique. Les auteurs de cet ouvrage s’attachent donc à les décrire en caractérisant leurs principes méthodologiques et leurs fondements théoriques, et en rapportant les données qui démontrent leur efficacité, leurs spécificités, mais également leurs limites.   Ces interventions sont applicables à un large spectre de dysfonctionnements cognitifs affectant divers domaines de la cognition (attention, mémoire, jugement/interprétation, croyances métacognitives, etc.). Elles s’inscrivent dans une perspective transdiagnostique, et peuvent donc être utiles pour différents types de symptômes. [less ▲]

This volume examines European perspectives on the historical relations that women have maintained with information and communication technologies (ICTs), since the telegraph. Features: describes how gendered networks have formed around ICT since the late 19th Century; reviews the gendered issues revealed by the conflict between the actress Ms Sylviac and the French telephone administration in 1904, or by ‘feminine’ blogs; examines how gender representations, age categories, and uses of ICT interact and are mutually formed in children’s magazines; illuminates the participation of women in the early days of computing, through a case study on the Rothamsted Statistics Department; presents a comparative study of women in computing in France, Finland and the UK, revealing similar gender divisions within the ICT professions of these countries; discusses diversity interventions and the part that history could (and should) play to ensure women do not take second place in specific occupational sectors.

Africa is often depicted as the continent with the lowest literacy rates in the world. Moving beyond this essentialising representation, this volume explores African literacies within their complex and diverse multilingual and multiscriptal histories and contexts of use. The chapters choose contexts from the Maghreb to Mozambique and from Senegambia to the Horn of Africa, and critically analyse multiple literacy genres and practices - from ancient manuscripts to instant messaging - in relation to questions of language-in-education and policy, livelihoods, Islamic scholarship, colonialism, translocal migration and writing systems. As a whole, the book may be read as an advanced introduction to language and society in Africa seen through the lens of literacy or as a contribution to scholarship in literacy studies offering a convenient collection of perspectives on/from Africa.

Comment l’Union européenne peut-elle parvenir à mieux informer et communiquer avec ses citoyens ? Quelles sont les initiatives participatives et délibératives qu’elle a promues à ces fins ? Peuvent-elles contribuer à atténuer sa crise de légitimité chronique ? Devraient-elles être institutionnalisées à l’intérieur du processus décisionnel européen? Et si oui, comment procéder ? Autant de questions auxquelles cet ouvrage apporte des réponses concrètes, grâce à ses analyses – réalisées par des experts reconnus dans le domaine de la démocratie délibérative – des principales expériences participatives promues par l’Union européenne. En comparant les différentes tentatives d’accroître l’engagement des citoyens et en évaluant leur impact, cet ouvrage propose une contribution importante et originale sur le potentiel des innovations visant à renforcer la légitimité démocratique de l’Union européenne.
