Cultural diplomacy "refers to the exchange of ideas, information, art, and other aspects of culture among nations and their peoples to foster mutual understanding." (Cummings, 2003, p. 1). However, how can we interpret cultural diplomacy and act upon it in and outside academia? How can universities harness the potentiality of cultural diplomacy to transform societies? These are among others the leading questions discussed in the international panel on "the art of cultural diplomacy: cultural diplomacy in and outside academia" linked to international students as 'students as global citizens'. This discussion panel took place in 2017 May, the 26 in the framework of the 4th Transatlantic Dialogue titled "Creating Human Bonds Through Cultural Diplomacy." The panel gathered and focused on diverse engagements and activities of international students and student a airs professionals from all continents of the world as potential agents of the art of cultural diplomacy in and outside academia. Our analysis builds on these questions and the objectives of this panel. It discusses from a combined perspective of an academic research-art interface the art of cultural diplomacy as an aesthetic and a means of intercultural awareness and cultural interactions and reciprocal knowledge transfer between academia and the society or the general public.

Reconstruction et reenactment. L'Histoire et la réanimation du passé

Since the beginning of historical writing, historians, philosophers and poets have reflected on the complex relationship between history and its linguistic representation, between the narrative and the reality expressed in it, between the textual formulation of the truth requirement and the stylistic or rhetorical work of persuasion. For centuries, and even for more than two millennia, this debate has always revolved around a major epistemological problem, summed up by the French historian Ivan Jablonka as follows: "How can truth be told in and through a text? The purpose of this small foray into historical theory is to reflect on the relationship between narrative, writing, interpretation and argumentation in historical writing, and in particular on the changes in these dimensions of historical thought and work over time, notably through the emergence of the 'modern ideal' of historical narrative in the nineteenth century. Next, I would like to briefly return to the complex relationship between historical reality and its representation in sources and media, and conclude with a more general reflection on the possibilities and challenges posed by digital representations of history. But first let us delve into the history of historical writing. [less ▲]

Im Rahmen von Migration ergibt sich insbesondere für Geflüchtete ein erhöhtes Risiko von ungünstigen Entwicklungen und Adaptationsverläufen, da sie nicht nur mit allgemeinen Herausforderungen der Anpassung an einen neuen kulturellen Kontext konfrontiert sind, sondern auch mit spezifischen Erfahrungen im Herkunftsland oder auf der Flucht, die potentiell traumatisch sein können. Dennoch zeigen sich signifikante psychische Beeinträchtigungen in der Folge nur bei einem Teil der Geflüchteten. Das Konzept der Resilienz, das in den letzten Jahren nicht nur in Bereichen der klinischen Psychologie, sondern auch in der entwicklungspsychologischen Forschung und verwandten Disziplinen zunehmend an Bedeutung gewonnen hat, scheint besonders fruchtbar, um solche interindividuellen Unterschiede im Umgang mit Flucht- und Migrationserfahrungen zu erforschen. Nach einer kurzen Einführung in die Arten der Migration und damit zusammenhängende Herausforderungen befasst sich der vorliegende Beitrag mit Resilienz im Kontext von Migration und Flucht, wobei eine kritische Auseinandersetzung mit stark auf individuelle Faktoren fokussierten Konzeptualisierungen angestrebt und eine stärker systemische Sichtweise vorgeschlagen wird, wie sie auch neueren Ansätzen zur psychologischen Resilienz entspricht.

Stefan Krebs uses the case of Germany to investigate maintenance and repair as a central part of automobility. The chapter will look at two sides of car repair as the need to maintain the mobility function and the practice of a hobbyist consumer activity that promised status, community and identity. It highlights four aspects that framed repair as a necessary part of car consumption: the (un-)reliability of automobile technology; the emergence of a car repair infrastructure; repair costs, which determined to a large extent whether one could afford to drive a car; and DIY repair practices. The success and widespread adoption of automobiles as consumer products was closely tied to the availability of affordable repair services, and the emergence of a large-scale car repair infrastructure was a prerequisite for mass motorisation.

The practices adopted by physical education teachers are critical to the success of true inclusion policies. The Disentangling inclusion in primary physical education project aims to fill the existing gap of information and resources related to inclusion in primary physical education in one specific platform. As a starting point, a literature review and an online survey were undertaken to map the current situation regarding inclusive primary physical education. Based on their results and the recommendations derived from there, a free open educational resource in the form of a web application, focused on highlighting inclusive physical education strategies, has been developed. It is composed of different thematic modules (e.g. chronic conditions or sensory) highlighting the skills learners possess and challenges they may experience as they access the physical education curriculum. By using the resource, it is expected that a large number of teachers and student teachers will be enabled to diversify their pedagogies in issues related to inclusion in primary physical education. As a further consequence, their pedagogical skills and competences shall be enhanced. [less ▲]

Les questions complexes liées à la durabilité posent des défis majeurs aux apprenant(e)s et aux enseignant(e)s au sein des écoles et des universités : comment représenter des liens complexes de façon judicieuse, appropriée et bien lisible, les assimiler et les évaluer ? Les cartes conceptuelles (Concept Maps) constituent une méthode permettant d’illustrer ceci avec précision (Novak & Gowin, 1984). Elle consiste à établir des réseaux formés de termes et de liaisons. Les termes, nommés « concepts », sont pour la plupart représentés par des formes. En ce qui concerne les liaisons, elles sont généralement appelées « connecteurs » et représentées sous la forme de flèches (souvent annotées). Les unités de sens formées par les concepts et les connecteurs sont appelées « propositions » et sont comparables à des phrases dans des textes (Ruiz-Primo & Shavelson, 1996). Les cartes conceptuelles représentent ainsi les liens inhérents à un sujet de façon visuelle et structurée. [less ▲]

This chapter provides new evidence about the relative differences in the incomes and living conditions of native- and foreign-born households exploiting EU-SILC data for 2007 and 2018. For the 28 countries with a satisfying coverage of immigrant populations, we document where the foreign-born stand along the distribution of incomes and living conditions and then derive their contribution to seven social indicators. We find that individuals living in foreign-born households have lower incomes and higher levels of poverty and deprivation in all countries examined. No clear improvement in the relative position of foreign-born households is observed between 2007 and 2018. Although there is much heterogeneity in the incomes of foreign-born households, their generally disadvantaged situation implies that, on the whole, they tend to push inequality, poverty and deprivation indicators upwards. This effect persists in many countries, albeit mitigated in magnitude, when we account for the different characteristics of foreign-born compared to natives. [less ▲]

Parmi les termes marquants de la langue politique, celui de « pamphlet » est particulièrement exemplaire de l’énergie polémique du XIXe siècle. Comme le genre qu’il désigne, le terme est avant tout polémique : l’assimilation d’un écrit à un pamphlet, péjorative ou non, n’en est pas moins révélatrice des tensions à l’oeuvre dans le lexique politique de la Restauration. Comment celle-ci entend-elle le terme de « pamphlet » ? Comment s’illustre-t-il dans les champs politique et littéraire ? C’est ce que nous tenterons de déterminer à l’aide des écrits pamphlétaires de Paul-Louis Courier. [less ▲]

The main objective of the German Emigration and Remigration Panel Study (GERPS) is to establish a longitudinal data set that provides information on life trajectories of international migrants. However, a large amount of paradata were also collected in order to obtain meta-information on respondents’ survey participation. This auxiliary information can help to optimize data quality at all stages of the survey process. By continuing the existing discussion in the field of online surveys, this chapter pursues a twofold objective: it reflects device usage (mobile vs. computer) and elucidates determinants of device choice. In particular, it analyses whether selectivity effects due to respondent’s device choices bias the sample. Moreover, this chapter investigates differences in response time between devices to detect differences in response burden. The analysis of response burden differences by device is an important issue, since an increased device-specific response burden can be a predictor of actual and further panel dropouts. In both device-specific selectivity and survey burden, only slight differences were found between mobile and desktop devices. Using these data, the following paper addresses the need to analyse potential sources of survey error and provides evidence that GERPS data do not appear to contain noteworthy bias attributed to device usage.

As a first response to the COVID‐19 pandemic, Luxembourg, as many other countries, chose a strategy of minimized physical and social contacts. The educational system implemented these measures by introducing quick changes in their teaching modalities. At the onset of the lockdown in spring 2020, the University of Luxembourg, unlike other higher‐education institutions, has managed to rapidly transition to exclusive remote teaching for all offered study programs. There are good reasons to believe that the rapid change in teaching modalities in addition to the manifold challenges surrounding the Coronavirus pandemic have had an impact on the University students’ learning satisfaction, personal wellbeing, and mental health, and possibly even affected their educational outcomes. In this article, we present the results from a survey that we administered during the first weeks of the lockdown situation to assess the magnitude of COVID‐19’s impact on the academic domain. The central aim of the survey is to understand how students have been able to adapt to an abrupt change in teaching and learning modalities, and to which degree the exclusive e‐learning practice has affected their learning satisfaction and subsequent personal wellbeing. Besides investigating the impact of the student’s learning satisfaction on personal wellbeing and mental health, the present study explores the influence of pedagogical aspects, with a present focus on teaching creativity, on learning satisfaction within an e‐learning environment.

On the awareness of the dynamism pertaining to data and its processing, this paper investigates the problem of having two mutually exclusive definitions of personal and non-personal data in the legal framework in force.

Théâtre des soubresauts politiques que l’on sait, la première moitié du XIXe siècle voit également naître un engouement sans précédent pour le Moyen Âge, marqué par un goût pour le gothique et le roman de chevalerie ; bientôt une volonté de mieux connaître la période médiévale se fait jour. Alors que s’ouvre le siècle, Jean de Sismondi, August Wilhelm Schlegel et Germaine de Staël entreprennent chacun à leur façon de réhabiliter une période résolument méconnue dont la connaissance leur paraît essentielle pour renouveler les littératures nationales et, ce faisant, permettre au romantisme naissant de prendre son essor. De son côté, Chateaubriand, dont le Génie du christianisme (1802) a contribué de façon décisive à l’engouement de ses contemporains pour le Moyen Âge, s’attelle à la composition d’une histoire nationale, « monument à la patrie » dans lequel il entend, dans la lignée des travaux des exégètes allemands, rétablir la vérité contre les « vieux mensonges historiques » colportés par une certaine tradition historiographique ; ce sera l’Analyse raisonnée de l’histoire de France (1826). Ces connaissances patiemment accumulées servent néanmoins un objectif idéologique et politique - qu'il s'agisse, chez Chateaubriand, de restaurer la religion catholique dans son rôle civilisateur, ou de défendre, pour le Groupe de Coppet, un idéal chevaleresque susceptible d'inspirer un siècle en manque de repères. Reste encore à voir quel est le Moyen Âge – réel ou imaginaire, merveilleux ou historique – que ces deux tendances idéologiques distinctes instrumentalisent à des fins nettement polémiques. C’est bien cette tension que nous souhaitons interroger, en comparant à la lumière de leurs textes respectifs le médiévisme de Chateaubriand, dont l’Analyse donne à voir une volonté claire de redonner à l’Église le rôle et l’importance qui étaient les siens au Moyen Âge, et celui du Groupe de Coppet, qui aborde la période médiévale dans la perspective progressiste qui caractérise sa vision de l’histoire. Cette approche nous permettra de mieux cerner les modalités et les enjeux idéologiques du médiévisme d’un premier XIXe siècle où la réappropriation de l’histoire revêt plus que jamais une importance déterminante.

Sustainable development has been a subject of urban planning for three decades now. Planners and practitioners now have a wealth of materials, catalogues, readers, and textbooks at their disposal that discuss local problems and practices. The problem, however, is that sustainable development is a very broad and often contradictory concept that is difficult to implement, and has since become a vector for market-led, exclusionary, urban development and planning. Little progress has been achieved, especially in regard to social equality. At the time of this writing, the global pandemic was also unfolding, which demanded priorities in health care on one hand and opened up new questions about sustainable development on the other. If sustainability and post-pandemic planning (for sustainability) is to be taken seriously, it is imperative to identify, reassert, and re-center social injustices in the productive processes that generate urban and regional spaces. There is a risk that social polarization will widen further still and that it too will be market-led as governments struggle with the crisis. Practitioners need to be careful about how people are included and can benefit from planning practice. There is inspiration from planning theory. Knowledge of public interest, differing epistemologies and ontologies, problems of racism and class, and a revival of kindness in political democratic are some ideas that publicly funded urban and regional planning offices can promote and assert – in the interests of sustainability.

The paper looks at a global, non-commercial organization that not only steered worldwide innovation in communication infrastructure but also made efforts to define ethical standards for media use and mass communication. Established after the Second World War, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) ran campaigns in the late 1940s to remove information barriers and foster the free flow of information throughout the world. Against a backdrop of emerging conflicts between East and West, North and South, UNESCO promoted the free and global spread of ideas “by word and image,” by developing its press, broadcasting and film services, advocating for the improvement of technological infrastructures (e.g. the worldwide allocation of high frequencies), helping to remove economic obstacles to global trade in news and other media (e.g. by advocating for tariff reductions on educational, scientific and cultural materials), and renegotiating telephone regulations. While critics accused UNESCO of using its media policies to promote Western values and ideas during the Cold War, UNESCO saw its role in the context of the fight for human rights, especially the right to freedom of information and the right to education. UNESCO thus mobilized mass communication policies in the service of what the organization defined as an egalitarian vision that was intended to become a major wellspring of innovation. [less ▲]

In a time of worldwide availability of annual age-specific mortality data, we lack basic tools for detecting and graphing, from a comparative perspective, fine-grained deviations from mortality trends. We provide a new age-period-cohort-based methodology, combining information from age-period (AP) and APC-Detrended (APCD) analyses to detect all-cause mortality increases. Plotting the resulting AP coefficients and APCD residuals in equilateral Lexis diagrams, mortality patterns can easily be distinguished as age, period, or cohort trends and fluctuations. We highlight abnormalities as interactions of age and period (‘Black Holes’). We then investigate the ‘Black Holes’ of mortality of young-adult cohorts in the early 1990s in Spain, other southern European countries, and the U.S., in emphasizing their simultaneously occurring mortality crises. Additional analyses with WHO mortality data and epidemiological evidence from other studies show that these mortality increases likely result from lack of treatment and inadequate public health responses to the beginnings of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. We discuss other possible applications of the new method. [less ▲]

The need to belong is fundamental to human beings and constitutes a basis for subjective well-being. It is closely linked to further concepts, such as identification, connectedness, attachment, fitting in and feeling “at home”. The present contribution will focus on the sense of belonging in the context of migration in its different facets - cultural, social and spatial - and in relation to different points of reference - national, ethnic and transnational belonging. Applying the lens of cultural psychology of semiotic mediation, the development of a sense of belonging will be discussed with regard to first generation migrants and their second-generation offspring in a life span perspective, drawing on concepts such as proculturation as well as the Trajectory Equifinality Approach.

Connectomic Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) covers this highly efficacious treatment option for movement disorders such as Parkinson’s Disease, Essential Tremor and Dystonia. The book examines its impact on distributed brain networks that span across the human brain in parallel with modern-day neuroimaging concepts and the connectomics of the brain. It asks several questions, including which cortical areas should DBS electrodes be connected in order to generate the highest possible clinical improvement? Which connections should be avoided? Could these connectomic insights be used to better understand the mechanism of action of DBS? How can they be transferred to individual patients, and more. This book is suitable for neuroscientists, neurologists and functional surgeons studying DBS. It provides practical advice on processing strategies and theoretical background, highlighting and reviewing the current state-of-the-art in connectomic surgery. [less ▲]

Dem Klassenklima wird eine bedeutsame Rolle sowohl in Bezug auf die soziale Entwicklung als auch auf die Lern- und Leistungsentwicklung von Schülerinnen und Schülern zugesprochen. Dabei wird das Klassenklima unter anderem durch das Ausmaß an unterstützenden, lernförderlichen, schätzenden oder anerkennenden Maßnahmen, an denen im Wesentlichen die Schülerinnen, Schüler und Lehrpersonen der Klasse beteiligt sind, sowie deren erzieherisch bedeutsamen kollektiven Einstellungen und Bereitschaften im Klassenraum charakterisiert (u.a. Eder 1996; Grewe, 2017). Vergleichsweise wenig Aufmerksamkeit erhielten bisher soziale Aspekte des Klassenklimas, wie etwa die normative Peerkultur (z.B. Zurbriggen, 2016). Insbesondere im Zuge zunehmender Inklusion jedoch stellt der soziale Aspekt des Klassenklimas einen wesentlichen und aktuellen Indikator für die Qualität inklusiver Beschulung dar, deren zentrales Merkmal eine in Bezug auf verschiedene Dimensionen heterogene Schülerschaft bildet (Wansing, 2015). In Anlehnung an die Theorie der sozialen Vergleichsprozesse von Festinger (1954) kann angenommen werden, dass eine zunehmend heterogenere Schülerschaft zu einer größeren Vielfalt, einer höheren Toleranz und Akzeptanz in der Klasse führt und dementsprechend der Anpassungsdruck und das Risiko der sozialen Ausgrenzung abnimmt (Grewe, 2017). Demgegenüber ist normalismustheoretisch betrachtet selbst bei zunehmend flexiblen Normalitätsgrenzen stets die Möglichkeit einer Rückbindung in starre protonormalistische Grenzen und geringere Akzeptanz von Abweichungen gegeben (Waldschmidt, 2003). In dem Beitrag wird die Bedeutsamkeit des sozialen Aspekts als wesentliche Facette eines inklusiven Klassenklimas theoretisch hergeleitet und verortet, um anschließend die derzeitige Befundlage zum sozialen Klassenklima generell und zur subjektiv wahrgenommenen Qualität sozialer Beziehungen innerhalb einer inklusiven Klassengemeinschaft unter Berücksichtigung verschiedener Heterogenitätsdimensionen (u.a. Behinderung, Leistung, Verhalten) aufzuarbeiten. [less ▲]

Taking a more quantitative approach in linguistic landscape research, we explore recent techniques of automatic information extraction from images. The recently released Cloud Vision API by Google offers new perspectives on the software-assisted processing and classification of pictures. A software interface makes it possible to extract various kinds of information from pictures automatically, among them the written text, certain labels to describe the picture (e.g. road sign, shop sign, prohibition sign) or the colours used in the picture. Applying this new technique to large-scale image data collections will not only enhance analysis but may also offer hitherto unrecognized structures. The data comes from a large-scale investigation of the Ruhr Metropolis in Germany, where 25,504 photos have been taken to document the linguistic landscape of selected neighbourhoods in four cities (Ziegler et al. 2018). This data has been annotated manually in various categories to analyze the occurrence, form and function of visual multilingualism. These pictures are then automatically processed by the Cloud Vision API and the results compared to the manual annotation. It will be shown that the quality of the image recognition greatly depends on the quality of the picture. The textual information extracted from the pictures will be stored in a database. Rather than presenting results on the linguistic landscape, this chapter is predominantly concerned with practical tools to facilitate large-scale linguistic landscape research. [less ▲]
