This study is the first extensive comparison of poems by Gregory of Nazianzus and Ephrem the Syrian focused on their form, imagery and literary strategies. The poems selected have historical significance thanks to their common theme: Gregory and Ephrem are the first to write verse on bishops in Greek and Syriac respectively. A new English translation of the texts is appended to the study.

Anhand von Falldarstellungen werden individuelle Wege ins Hilfesystem nachgezeichnet. Die daraus abgeleiteten Fragestellungen werden in thematischen Beiträgen vertieft. Die Publikation bietet einen Einblick in die Herausforderungen von geflüchteten Menschen und analysiert die Bedeutung einer individuellen Begleitung.

Liberals have been arguing for nearly a century that racism is fundamentally an individual problem of extremist beliefs. Responding to Nazism, thinkers like gay rights pioneer Magnus Hirschfeld and anthropologist Ruth Benedict called for teaching people, especially poor people, to be less prejudiced. Here lies the origin of today 39 liberal antiracism, from diversity training to Hollywood activism. Meanwhile, a more radical antiracism flowered in the Third World. Anticolonial revolutionaries traced racism to the broad economic and political structures of modernity. Thinkers like C.L.R. James, Claudia Jones, and Frantz Fanon showed how racism was connected to colonialism and capitalism, a perspective adopted even by Martin Luther King.Today, liberal antiracism has proven powerless against structural oppression. As Arun Kundnani demonstrates, white liberals can heroically confront their own whiteness all they want, yet these structures remain.This deeply researched and swift-moving narrative history tells the story of the two antiracisms and their fates. As neoliberalism reordered the world in the last decades of the twentieth century, the case became clear: fighting racism means striking at its capitalist roots.

The volume assumes that literature and its science are transdisciplinary and are fed by figures of thought, metaphors or models from other disciplines and, conversely, become a central place for innovative conceptualization. If such processes of literary descriptive vocabularies themselves become the object of consideration, then ruptures and sometimes controversies in the use of the metaphors that have often been transferred from the areas of organicity and technicality become increasingly apparent: organic and technical overlap, interfere, swap places. It is precisely these phenomena of border crossing in the metaphorical transfer of connections between the organic and the technical - which, in the face of the latest technologies and biopolitics, are more the "norm" than the exception - that the volume examines from a historiographical perspective from the Middle Ages to the present day. "Organitechnoscience" thus presents itself as a laboratory concept to trace literary and literary-theoretical operations of technical and organic interferences not only post, but also ante digitization and to question their knowledge-political dimensions.

Charlotte Guillard constitue une figure exceptionnelle de la Renaissance française. Originaire du Maine, elle mène à Paris une carrière brillante dans la typographie. Veuve tour à tour des imprimeurs Berthold Rembolt et Claude Chevallon, elle administre en maîtresse-femme l'atelier du Soleil d'Or pendant près de vingt ans, de 1537 à 1557. Sous sa direction, l'entreprise accapare le marché de l'édition juridique et des Pères de l'Église, publiant des éditions savantes préparées par quelques-uns des plus illustres humanistes parisiens (Antoine Macault, Jacques Toussain, Jean Du Tillet, Guillaume Postel...). Associant dans un même projet intellectuel les théologiens parisiens les plus conservateurs et les lettrés les plus épris de nouveauté, sa production témoigne de la vivacité des débats qui agitent les milieux intellectuels au siècle des Réformes.

Berufskundelehrpersonen haben ihren beruflichen Auftrag innerhalb eines überkomplexen Systems aus externalen Rahmenbedingungen zu erfüllen. Ob und wie die Lehrpersonen die daraus hervorgehenden normativen Anforderungen wahrnehmen, interpretieren und bewältigen, hängt von ihrem Selbstverständnis ab. Der Autor Daniel Degen hat in seiner Dissertation untersucht, wie Berufskundelehrpersonen in den beruflichen Grundbildungen von Automatik-, Elektroinstallations- und Informatiklernenden im Verlauf ihrer Karriere ihr professionelles Selbstverständnis entwickeln und welche Auswirkungen dies auf ihr Denken und Handeln hat. Diese Forschung bietet eine Grundlage für weitere Untersuchungen zur Unterrichtspraxis von Berufskundelehrpersonen. Es ist wichtig, das Selbstverständnis von Lehrpersonen zu verstehen, da es ihre Wahrnehmung und Bewältigung der normativen Anforderungen beeinflusst, mit denen sie in einem komplexen System konfrontiert sind.

Das Buch bereitet 20 Fälle zu Entscheidungen nationaler und internationaler Gerichte/ Gremien im Kontext von Menschenrechts- und Grundrechtsverletzungen auf. Dabei wird die Bedeutung dieser Urteile für die Praxis diskriminierungskritischer (Sozialer) Arbeit herausgestellt, z.B. im Zusammenhang mit Racial Profiling oder Diskriminierungen beim Zugang zu Wohnen, Arbeit oder Dienstleistungen. Es bietet eine Handlungsorientierung für Praktiker*innen der Antidiskriminierungs- und Empowermentarbeit und bestärkt sie darin, sich auf diese Fälle in ihren eigenen fachlichen Auseinandersetzungen zu berufen oder eigene Fälle der (strategischen) Prozessführung anzustreben.

Secularisms: Negotiating boundaries between the religious and the secular is a Finnish-language edited volume that explores the multiplicity of secularisms in both past and present from a global perspective. The twelve authors represent five different disciplines: the study of religion, anthropology, theology, church history, and political history. The volume is divided into four parts, each united by a common theme. The first part focuses on concepts related to secularism and the roots of secularist thought in Christianity. The second part discusses the different histories of state secularisms through cases of the Soviet Union, Turkey, and Indonesia. The third part examines how religion is portrayed in the Finnish public sphere, with cases on women’s spirituality and debates within the peace movement. The fourth and final part focuses on the legacy of secularist colonial policies in the Global South, with examples from Madagascar, Ghana, and Brazil.

The text highlights the lines of the research crossed by Paolo Federighi in his forty-year professional career within the University of Florence and the European institutions. We take the opportunity of this perusal to problematize the discipline, Adult Education, through a semantic and lexicographic analysis which aims to bring to light the history and theory of Adult Education from its beginnings in Italian society and culture in the period after the Second World War to date. The pedagogical-educational knowledge forming the building blocks of the discipline cannot be separated from scientific research and methodological results. The second part of the essay sets out to understand which research methodology can be more appropriate to respond to the needs of a constantly evolving and rapidly changing civil society. The third and fourth parts reflect on a human and scientific itinerary always pointed towards the lodestar of educational innovation and educational transformation.

This open access book is devoted to the theoretical and experimental studies of a novel accelerator light source mechanism called steady-state microbunching (SSMB) which promises high-power, high-repetition rate, narrow-band coherent radiation in an electron storage ring. The contribution of this dissertation consists of three parts: first, answers the question of how to realize SSMB from a beam dynamics perspective; second, reveals what radiation characteristics can we obtain from the formed SSMB; and third, experimentally demonstrates the working mechanism of SSMB in a real machine for the first time. The highlights of this book can be summarized as: Presents the first proof-of-principle experiment of a promising accelerator light source mechanism; Covers precision longitudinal and transverse-longitudinal coupling dynamics in a storage ring; Provides useful formulas and example parameters for high-power infrared, EUV and soft X-ray light source design.

Lange Zeit galten Reiseberichte als Wegbegleiter des Kolonialismus. Dies ändert sich im Lateinamerika der 1920er Jahre, wovon die in Vergessenheit geratenen Feuilletonartikel, Tagebücher und Aufzeichnungen der chilenischen Nobelpreisträgerin Gabriela Mistral, des »Papstes des brasilianischen Modernismus« Mário de Andrade und des belgisch-französischen Avantgardisten Henri Michaux zeugen. Marília Jöhnk geht dem wissensgeschichtlichen Interesse der drei Reisenden am Kontinent und ihrem Spiel mit etablierten Formen literarischer Wahrnehmung nach. Mit dem tief in der aztekischen Mythologie verankerten Kolibri eint deren kleine Reiseprosa nicht nur die kompakte Größe, sondern auch die Mobilität und Geschwindigkeit.

In Rocklands, Liezille Jacobs reframes psychology not only as a profession, but as a profound calling that is intertwined with personal and societal evolution. Traversing her own personal journey from her adverse childhood experiences in Rocklands, Mitchell’s Plain, to being the first black Head of Department at Rhodes University in 120 years, Jacobs illuminates the interconnectedness of personal, professional and public roles, advocating for a shift from careerism to a movement grounded in shared values and principles. At the same time, the book makes a brave and erudite scholarly contribution to the field of psychology. Its method is unconventional but carefully considered. Those who have provided comments on the manuscript unanimously concur – this book is essential reading for students and academics, families and patriarchs in equal measure. The transformation imperative within psychology demands a stance of activism, if not revolution, against systems of oppression. This stance urges readers to view this book not only as an academic exercise but as a profound transformative exploration of “giving psychology away”; emphasising the idea of making psychological knowledge and expertise more accessible to the general public and sharing the benefits of psychological science with society to improve people’s lives.
