Gefährlich Leben - Gefährlich Denken: Eine Untersuchung von Nietzsches Philosophie
by Natalie SchulteNietzsche gilt als faszinierender Philosoph, der das Denken zu einer gefährlichen Sache, zu einem Abenteuer erklärt und der den/die Leser*in verlockt, sich auf das Wagnis seines Denkens einzulassen. Philosophie erscheint nicht als abstrakte Angelegenheit, sondern als eine zutiefst persönliche Auseinandersetzung, die das Leben des/der Einzelnen verwandeln soll, selbst um den Preis seiner möglichen Zerstörung. Welche Bedeutung aber hat das gefährliche Moment innerhalb von Nietzsches Philosophie für den/die Einzelne*n – und welche für die Gesellschaft? Und wie weit darf man in Selbst- und Fremdgefährdung gehen? Diesen Fragen geht die vorliegende Arbeit nach, wobei die Interpretation von Nietzsches Denken eingerahmt wird von zwei rezeptionsgeschichtlichen Untersuchungen: Von Beginn seiner Wirkung bis heute wurde Nietzsche als der gefährliche Philosoph par excellence verstanden. Inwieweit er glorifiziert, vereinnahmt oder verurteilt wird, sagt aber nicht zuletzt einiges über die Rezipierenden selbst aus und gibt Antwort auf die Frage, wieviel gefährliches Denken wir in einer Gesellschaft für zumutbar halten. Ein Einblick in die frühe und späte Nietzscherezeption zeigt dem/der Leser*in die Bandbreite an Reaktionen von Verherrlichung bis Verdammung, die Nietzsches Philosophie bis heute provoziert.
Gegenrede digital: Neue und alte Herausforderungen interkultureller Bildungsarbeit in Zeiten der Digitalisierung (Interkulturelle Studien)
by Julian Ernst Michalina Trompeta Hans-Joachim RothDie Hoffnung, in Zeiten der Digitalisierung könnten gesellschaftliche Ungleichheitsverhältnisse und Ausgrenzungsprozesse abgebaut werden, scheint sich (bisher) nicht einzulösen: Rassistische und antidemokratische Akteur*innen propagieren ihre ideologisch durchformten Weltbilder mittels Videos mehr denn je, sogenannte Social Bots füllen und polarisieren automatisiert die Kommentarspalten in sozialen Netzwerken und Aktivist*innen wie gesellschaftlich benachteiligte Gruppen werden mittels Memes stereotypisiert, verhöhnt und angefeindet. Auf der anderen Seite bieten digitale Medien kreative und innovative Möglichkeiten der Selbstorganisation, Selbstrepräsentation und Partizipation mit dem Ziel auch der visuellen Emanzipation unterschiedlichster Communities und der Begegnung von Hate Speech: Gegenrede digital. Diskutiert werden im Band neben Möglichkeiten und Herausforderungen digitaler Medien für die Artikulation von Gegenrede auch grundlegende Fragen politisch-interkultureller Bildungsarbeit, die sich im Kontext digitaler Gegenrede stellen.
Gehirn, Psyche und Gesellschaft: Schlaglichter aus den Wissenschaften vom Menschen
by Stephan SchleimDieses Buch enthält eine Zusammenstellung von Artikeln zu aktuellen Fragen der Wissenschaften vom Menschen. Es spannt einen Bogen von der Philosophie und Psychologie bis hin zur Biologie, Hirnforschung und Medizin. Der Autor forscht und lehrt nicht nur in diesen Gebieten, sondern schreibt darüber seit über 15 Jahren für ein breites Publikum.

Geist And Zeitgeist: The Spirit In An Unspiritual Age
by Hermann Broch John HargravesHermann Broch achieved international recognition for his brilliant use of innovative literary techniques to present the entire range of human experience, from the biological to the metaphysical. Concerned with the problem of ethical responsibility in a world with no unified system of values, he turned to literature as the appropriate form for considering those human problems not subject to rational treatment. <p><p> Late in life, Broch began questioning his artistic pursuits and turned from literature to devote himself to political theory. While he is well known and highly regarded throughout the world as a novelist, he was equally accomplished as an essayist. These six essays give us a fascinating glimpse into the mind of one of the twentieth century's most original thinkers.
Gelehrte Frauen der Frühaufklärung: Einsame ‚Wunderthiere‘ oder vernetzte Akteurinnen? (Frauen in Philosophie und Wissenschaft. Women Philosophers and Scientists)
by Corinna Dziudzia Sonja KlimekDieser Band versammelt die Beiträge einer Tagung, die im Februar 2019 mit Unterstützung des Forschungsverbunds Marbach Weimar Wolfenbüttel und der Dr. phil. Fritz Wiedemann Stiftung in der Herzog August Bibliothek in Wolfenbüttel stattfand. Ziel der interdisziplinären Veranstaltung war es, die Frühaufklärung als eine Zeitspanne sichtbar werden zu lassen, in der sich für Frauen, wenngleich teilweise nur vorübergehend, zahlreiche Tätigkeitsfelder eröffneten, sei dies als Ärztinnen, Malerinnen, Kupferstecherinnen oder Dichterinnen. Frauen führten in dieser Zeit europaweit gesellige, gelehrte und/oder musikalische Salons und betätigten sich als Mäzeninnen oder selbst als hochgeschätzte Musikerinnen und Komponistinnen. Universitäten, Akademien und Gesellschaften verliehen den gelehrten Frauen im 17. und 18. Jahrhundert Preise und sogar Doktorwürden. Darüber hinaus wurden Frauen in der Frühaufklärung als malende, kämpfende, rechnende, experimentierende, übersetzende und heilende Frauen aktiv.
Geloof (Routledge filosofie)
by Slavoj ZizekHoe kunnen we nog geloven en regels hebben in dit postmoderne tijdperk waarin naar verluidt niets is om in te geloven en geen regels zijn. De beroemde filosoof en onstuitbaar cultuurcriticus Slavoj Zizek daagt iedereen uit in dit overtuigende en adembenemende nieuwe boek.In Geloof, dat van 'cyberspace-denken' tot de paradox van het 'westerse boeddhisme' gaat, legt Zizek de vooronderstellingen bloot achter de manier waarop we gewoonlijk over geloof denken, met name in judaïsme en christendom. Door de zogenaamde authenticiteit van het religieuze geloof tegen een kritisch licht te houden en te putten uit psychoanalyse, film en filosofie, laat hij op schokkende wijze zien dat de basis van onze fundamenteelste overtuigingen minder rotsvast is dan wij denken.
Gemeinwohlorientiert, ökologisch, sozial: Aushandlungen um alternative Wirtschaftspraktiken in der Zivilgesellschaft (Bürgergesellschaft und Demokratie)
by Cornelia KühnDer Klimawandel gefährdet die Existenzgrundlage zukünftiger Generationen. Damit zukunftsfähige und klimaverträgliche Gesellschaften entstehen können, sind tiefgreifende Änderungen von Produktionsprozessen, aber auch von Konsummustern und Lebensstilen notwendig. In diesem Sammelband werden Möglichkeiten und Grenzen der Ausweitung alternativer Wirtschafts- und Lebensformen erkundet. Dabei werden kleine Unternehmen und nachhaltige Bildungsinitiativen genauso betrachtet wie Regionen, Berufszweige und Großunternehmen auf ihrem Weg in eine nachhaltige Zukunft.
Gemeinwohlorientierte Erzeugung von Lebensmitteln: Impulse für eine zukunftsfähige Agrar- und Ernährungswirtschaft
by Albert SundrumLebensmittel sind Mittel zum Leben. Die Art und Weise ihrer Erzeugung betrifft uns alle. Weitgehend unbemerkt von der öffentlichen Wahrnehmung hat sich in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten ein System der Agrar- und Ernährungsindustrie entwickelt, das uns mit einer Fülle von Nahrungsmitteln mit zu niedrigen Preisen versorgt.Die unerwünschten Nebenwirkungen und externen Kosten dieses Systems wurden jedoch lange Zeit ausgeblendet. Enorme Umwelt- und Klimabelastungen, Verlust der Biodiversität, tierschutzrelevante Missstände und ein anhaltendes Hofsterben beschreiben nur unzulänglich das wahre Ausmaß an Schadwirkungen. Im Interesse des Gemeinwohls können diese nicht länger hingenommen werden. Allerdings stehen die Komplexität der Sachverhalte und vielfältige Partikularinteressen einfachen Lösungen entgegen.Dieses Fachbuch liefert eine umfassende systemische Analyse aus sehr unterschiedlichen Perspektiven und erläutert, wie es zu dieser Entwicklung hat kommen können. Es wird aufgezeigt, welche grundlegenden Veränderungen in allen Bereichen erforderlich sind, um über eine evidenzbasierte Qualitätserzeugung einen Ausweg aus dem zerstörerischen Streben nach Kostenminimierung zu finden. Fachkräfte der Agrar- und Ernährungsindustrie und der involvierten wissenschaftlichen Fachdisziplinen, einschließlich der Veterinärmedizin, sowie Entscheidungsträger in politischen Institutionen, Berufsverbänden und NGOs können dieses Wissen für eine zukunftsfähige Neugestaltung des Lebensmittelsektors nutzen.

Gender and Aesthetics: An Introduction (Understanding Feminist Philosophy)
by Carolyn KorsmeyerFeminist approaches to art are extremely influential and widely studied across a variety of disciplines, including art theory, cultural and visual studies, and philosophy. Gender and Aesthetics is an introduction to the major theories and thinkers within art and aesthetics from a philosophical perspective, carefully introducing and examining the role that gender plays in forming ideas about art. It is ideal for anyone coming to the topic for the first time. Organized thematically, the book introduces in clear language the most important topics within feminist aesthetics: Why were there so few women painters? Art, pleasure and beauty Music, literature and painting The role of gender in taste and food What is art and who is an artist? Disgust and the sublime. Each chapter discusses important topics and thinkers within art and examines the role gender plays in our understanding of them. These topics include creativity, genius and the appreciation of art, and thinkers from Plato, Kant, and Hume to Luce Irigaray and Julia Kristeva. Also included in the book are illustrations from Gaugin and Hogarth to Cindy Sherman and Nancy Spero to clarify and help introduce often difficult concepts.

Gender and Childhood Sexuality in Primary School
by Deevia BhanaThis book is an ethnography of teachers and children in grades 1 and 2, and presents arguments about why we should take gender and childhood sexuality seriously in the early years of South African primary schooling. Taking issue with dominant discourses which assumes children's lack of agency, the book questions the epistemological foundations of childhood discourses that produce innocence. It examines the paradox between teachers' dominant narratives of childhood innocence and children's own conceptualisation of gender and sexuality inside the classroom, with peers, in heterosexual games, in the playground and through boyfriend-girlfriend relationships. It examines the nuances and finely situated experiences which draw attention to hegemonic masculinity and femininity where boys and girls challenge and contest relations of power. The book focuses on the early makings of gender and sexual harassment and shows how violent gender relations are manifest even amongst very young boys and girls. Attention is given to the interconnections with race, class, structural inequalities, as well as the actions of boys and girls as navigate gender and sexuality at school. The book argues that the early years of primary schooling are a key site for the production and reproduction of gender and sexuality. Gender reform strategies are vital in this sector of schooling.
Gender and Education in Politics, Policy and Practice: Transdisciplinary Perspectives (Transdisciplinary Perspectives in Educational Research #3)
by Marie Carlson Brynja E. Halldórsdóttir Branislava Baranović Ann-Sofie Holm Sirpa Lappalainen Andrea SpeharThis book presents ideas on education, gender and intersectionality through a transdisciplinary frame by crossing disciplinary and methodological borders. Exploring the diversity of educational settings ranging from early childhood to adult education, it brings together scholars from various disciplines to discuss, deconstruct and problematize gender and education in relation to several themes in a comparative, intersectional, local, national, regional and international perspective. Each chapter approaches the topic in an intersectional and/or transnational manner and creates powerful gendered educational knowledge. Questions addressed in the book include: What are the challenges or barriers to gender-equal education? How can we understand the gaps between formal policies and educational practices? The chapters in the book illustrate how gender and education are relevant and needed concepts within the field of transdisciplinary research. The authors hail from a range of countries, such as Croatia, Indonesia, Turkey, UK, as well as the Nordic region, and they critically examine gender and education at all levels and in diverse sectors, and with varied lenses, such as neoliberalism in education, and the inclusion of newcomers and refugees. The work also critically investigates programs and pedagogical approaches, culture and values, knowledge and identity in teacher education. The book further addresses criticisms of Western and Anglophone bias around “white feminism” and the norm of white, male and heterosexual privilege.
Gender and Family Practices: Living Apart Together Relationships in China (Genders and Sexualities in the Social Sciences)
by Shuang QiuThis book examines how gender and heterosexuality structure the lived experiences of people in living apart together (LAT) relationships in contemporary Chinese society. Using in-depth interview data with Chinese LAT people of different ages, the author explores why they live apart; how they construct and make sense of their everyday family lives and negotiate their gender roles; and how they experience intimacy while being physically apart. This text sheds new insights on non-cohabitating intimate partnerships by bringing together themes of gender, family, intimacy, and relationality. Through looking at people’s lived experiences in LAT relationships, it argues that practices of family and intimacy are closely implicated with doing gender, and consequently, that gendered family lives and heterosexuality are reconstructed, rather than deconstructed, in order to reclaim conventional forms of family and gender norms in Chinese social, historical and cultural contexts.This book will be of interest to scholars across Gender and Sexuality Studies as well as Family Studies, in addition to scholars of contemporary Chinese culture and society.
Gender and Migration: IMISCOE Short Reader (IMISCOE Research Series)
by Anastasia Christou Eleonore KofmanThis open access short reader offers a critical review of the debates on the transformation of migration and gendered mobilities primarily in Europe, though also engaging in wider theoretical insights. Building on empirical case studies and grounded in an analytical framework that incorporates both men and women, masculinities, sexualities and wider intersectional insights, this reader provides an accessible overview of conceptual developments and methodological shifts and their implications for a gendered understanding of migration in the past 30 years. It explores different and emerging approaches in major areas, such as: gendered labour markets across diverse sectors beyond domestic and care work to include skilled sectors of social reproduction; the significance of families in migration and transnational families; displacement, asylum and refugees and the incorporation of gender and sexuality in asylum determination; academic critiques and gendered discourses concerning integration often with the focus on Muslim women. The reader concludes with considerations of the potential impact of three notable developments on gendered migrations and mobilities: Black Lives Matter, Brexit and COVID-19. As such, it is a valuable resource for students, academics, policy makers, and practitioners.
Gender and Physics in the Academy: Theory, Policy and Practice in European Perspective
by Pauline Leonard, Meytal Eran Jona, Yosef Nir, and Marika TaylorThis innovative interdisciplinary collection confronts the worldwide challenge of women's under-representation in science through an interrogation of the field of physics and its gender imbalance. Leading physicists and sociologists from across Europe collaborate to adopt a comparative approach. They draw on theoretical perspectives and empirical evidence to explore the reasons behind low participation levels, from entering the field to sustaining a career, emphasising the importance of social perspectives over biological explanations. Evaluating policy solutions implemented in various European contexts, this book offers key insights into the world of women physicists and sheds light on their life stories.
Gender and Sexual Diversity in Schools
by Elizabeth J. MeyerIssues related to gender and sexual diversity in schools can generate a lot of controversy, with many educators and youth advocates under-prepared to address these topics in their school communities. This text offers an easy-to-read introduction to the subject, providing readers with definitions and research evidence, as well as the historical context for understanding the roots of bias in schools related to sex, gender, and sexuality. Additionally, the book offers tangible resources and advice on how to create more equitable learning environments. Topics such as working with same-sex parented families in elementary schools; integrating gender and sexual diversity topics into the curriculum; addressing homophobic bullying and sexual harassment; advising gay-straight alliances; and supporting a transgender or gender non-conforming student are addressed. The suggestions offered by this book are based on recent research evidence and legal decisions to help educators handle the various situations professionally and from an ethical and legally defensible perspective.
Gender and Sexuality in Stoic Philosophy
by Malin Grahn-WilderThis book investigates the Ancient Stoic thinkers’ views on gender and sexuality. A detailed scrutiny of metaphysics, ethics and political philosophy reveals that the Stoic philosophers held an exceptionally equal view of men and women’s rational capacities. In its own time, Stoicism was frequently called ‘ the manly school’ of philosophy, but this volume shows that the Stoics would have also transformed many traditional notions of masculinity. Malin Grahn-Wilder compares the earlier philosophies of Plato and Aristotle to show that the Stoic position often stands out within Ancient philosophy as an exceptionally bold defense of women’s possibilities to achieve the highest form of wisdom and happiness. The work argues that the Stoic metaphysical notion of human being is based on strikingly egalitarian premises, and opens new perspectives to Stoic philosophy on the whole.
Gender and Social Capital (Gender Politics--Global Issues)
by Elisabeth Gidengil Brenda O'NeillThe volume brings together a stellar group of contributors who examine the social capital thesis by means of four different approaches: theoretical, historical, comparative, and empirical. In the end, this book will serve to answer two fundamental questions which have hitherto been neglected: What can a gendered analysis tell us about social capital? And what can social capital tell us about women and politics?
Gender and the Musical Canon
by Marcia J. CitronA classic in gender studies in music Marcia J. Citron's comprehensive, balanced work lays a broad foundation for the study of women composers and their music. Drawing on a diverse body of feminist and interdisciplinary theory, Citron shows how the western art canon is not intellectually pure but the result of a complex mixture of attitudes, practices, and interests that often go unacknowledged and unchallenged. Winner of the Pauline Alderman Prize from the International Alliance of Women in Music, Gender and the Musical Canon explores important elements of canon formation, such as notions of creativity, professionalism, and reception. Citron surveys the institutions of power, from performing organizations and the academy to critics and the publishing and recording industries, that affect what goes into the canon and what is kept out. She also documents the nurturing role played by women, including mothers, in cultivating female composers. In a new introduction, she assesses the book's reception by composers and critics, especially the reactions to her controversial reading of Cécile Chaminade's sonata for piano. A key volume in establishing how the concepts and assumptions that form the western art music canon affect female composers and their music, Gender and the Musical Canon also reveals how these dynamics underpin many of the major issues that affect musicology as a discipline.
Gender and the Politics of the Curriculum (Routledge Library Editions: Education)
by Sheila RiddellThis book uses detailed case studies of two secondary schools to examine the relationship between curriculum choice and gender identity among fourteen-year-old pupils making their first choices about what subjects to pursue at exam level. It reveals a two way process. Pupils’ decisions on what subject to take are influenced by how they perceive themselves in gender terms, and the curriculum once chosen reinforces their sense of gender divisions. The author looks at the influences on pupils at this stage in their lives from peers, family and the labour market as well as from teachers. She argues that the belief in freedom of choice and school neutrality espoused by many teachers can become an important factor in the reproduction of gender divisions, and that unless the introduction of the national curriculum is accompanied by systematic efforts to eradicate sexism from the hidden curriculum it will fail in its aim of creating greater equality of educational opportunity among the sexes.
Gender, Authenticity and Leadership: Thinking with Arendt
by Rita A. GardinerThis book examines the conceptual underpinnings of authentic leadership to discover why so little attention has been paid to gender. The author explores the failure to interrogate the complexities surrounding the concept of authenticity, especially as it relates to the diversity of lived experience.
Gender, Disability, and Tourism in Africa: Intersectional Perspectives (Sustainable Development Goals Series)
by Erisher Woyo Hellen VenganaiThis book explores the intersection of gender and disability in the context of tourism. In part, the book foregrounds feminist theorising of intersectionality by examining how gender can overlap with other social identities to contribute to more systemic oppression, domination, discrimination, and marginalisation of certain categories of people. Our point of departure is that disability does not operate in isolation as it is constituted and experienced within an already gendered social and tourism environment. With substantial research on the intersection of gender and tourism on the one hand, and the intersection of disability and tourism on the other hand, the interconnectedness of gender and disability and the implications this has on tourism policy and practice remains understudied. Thus, the book provides a critical lens that helps unpack underlying assumptions about gender and disability while questioning the dominant ideas about gender and disability reproduced through tourism policies and institutional practices in an African context. This book will be of interest to scholars and researchers in Gender Studies, Disability Studies, and Tourism Studies, particularly those with a research interest in Africa.
Gender Diversity and LGBTQ Inclusion in K-12 Schools: A Guide to Supporting Students, Changing Lives
by Sharon Verner Chappell Karyl E. Ketchum Lisa RichardsonThis exploration of effective practices to support lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer (LGBTQ) and gender-diverse students in elementary, middle, and high school contexts focuses on curriculum, pedagogy, and school environment. Narratives and artwork from the field are framed by sociocultural and critical theory as well as research-based elaboration on the issues discussed. Applications of antidiscrimination law and policy, as well as learning skills like creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking help teachers tackle some of the most significant educational challenges of our time. The stories of real-world practices offer encouragement for building inclusive environments and enhancing social-emotional relationships among youth, families, and schools. Gender Diversity and LGBTQ Inclusion in K-12 Schools provides a helpful roadmap for educators hoping to create safe and empowering spaces for LGBTQ and gender-diverse students and families.
