Eine attraktive demokratische Kultur ist keine Selbstverständlichkeit. Vielmehr müssen die Bedeutung und die Qualität demokratischer Werte und Normen immer wieder begreiflich und erlebbar gemacht werden. Aber welche Maßnahmen sind hierfür geeignet und welche nicht? Wie kann die Wirksamkeit von Programmen und Projekten optimiert werden? Wie kann sichergestellt werden, dass vorhandenes Wissen bei der Konzeption von Programmen und Projekten genutzt wird? Die BeitragsautorInnen geben Antworten auf diese Fragen. Ein Schwerpunkt liegt dabei auf methodischen und praktischen Aspekten der Evaluation. Daneben wird aber auch den bisher kaum diskutierten grundsätzlichen Folgen von Evaluationsaktivitäten für die demokratische Kultur und die moderne Gesellschaft nachgegangen.

Here is a mini-anthology of poetry and prose for both aficionados and those readers discovering Rainer Maria Rilke for the first time. John J. L. Mood has assembled a collection of Rilke's strongest work, presenting commentary along with the selections. Mood links into an essay passages from letters that show Rilke's profound understanding of men and women and his ardent spirituality, rooted in the senses. Combining passion and sensitivity, the poems on love presented here are often not only sensual but sexual as well. Others pursue perennial themes in his work—death and life, growth and transformation. The book concludes with Rilke's reflections on wisdom and openness to experience, on grasping what is most difficult and turning what is most alien into that which we can most trust.

The Handbook of Alternative Theories of Economic Development explores the theories and approaches which, over a prolonged period of time, have existed as viable alternatives to today?s mainstream and neo-classical tenets. With a total of 40 specially commissioned chapters, written by the foremost authorities in their respective fields, this volume represents a landmark in the field of economic development. It elucidates the richness of the alternative and sometimes misunderstood ideas which, in different historical contexts, have proved to be vital to the improvement of the human condition. The subject matter is approached from several complementary perspectives. From a historical angle, the Handbook charts the mercantilist and cameralist theories that emerged from the Renaissance and developed further during the Enlightenment. From a geographical angle, it includes chapters on African, Chinese, Indian, and Muslim approaches to economic development. Different schools are also explored and discussed including nineteenth century US development theory, Marxist, Schumpeterian, Latin American structuralism, regulation theory and world systems theories of development. In addition, the Handbook has chapters on important events and institutions including The League of Nations, The Havana Charter, and UNCTAD, as well as on particularly influential development economists. Contemporary topics such as the role of finance, feminism, the agrarian issue, and ecology and the environment are also covered in depth. This comprehensive Handbook offers an unrivalled review and analysis of alternative and heterodox theories of economic development. It should be read by all serious scholars, teachers and students of development studies, and indeed anyone interested in alternatives to development orthodoxy.Contributors: M. Alacevich, R.

Berührungen: Manchmal sind sie selbstverständlich, manchmal sehr intim. Oft beiläufig, gelegentlich bewusst. Manche nehmen wir kaum wahr und erinnern uns nicht an sie, andere haben für immer eine Bedeutung. Manche sind intensiv oder gehen gar unter die Haut und andere wiederum gehen zu nahe, überschreiten Grenzen. Berührungen können berühren – und Berührungen sind keine »Einbahnstraße«. Berühren wir, werden auch wir berührt und damit unser Dasein. Berühren sucht nach einer Antwort, die wir in der Begegnung finden. Warum braucht der Mensch überhaupt Berührung? Was lernen wir aus der Pandemie, in der Menschen in Pflegeinrichtungen und Sterbende in Kliniken plötzlich keine Nähe und auch keine Berührung mehr erfahren durften? Was passiert, wenn wir emotional zu sehr berührt werden, und ist Abgrenzung oder aber Nähe das beste Rezept, um uns davor zu schützen? Tattoos von Verstorbenen Menschen gehen »unter die Haut«, sind eingeprägt wie die körperlichen Erfahrungen, an die sich selbst Menschen mit Demenz erinnern können. In diesem Leidfaden-Themenheft gehen wir auf »Tuchfühlung«, wenn es um die körperlichen, emotionalen und seelischen Berührungen in unserer täglichen Arbeit geht.

Noch heute laufen manche Menschen von Pontius zu Pilatus oder waschen ihre Hände in Unschuld. Manche werden gar vom Saulus zum Paulus oder müssen ihr Licht wahrlich nicht unter den Scheffel stellen. Erstaunlich, wie viele Sprichwörter ihren Ursprung in den Geschichten haben, die das Neue Testament über Jesus oder die Menschen aus seinem Umfeld erzählt. Was genau es damit auf sich hat, erklärt dieses Buch – in verständlicher, unterhaltsamer Sprache und zugleich wissenschaftlich, theologisch und historisch fundiert. Mehr als 40 Kurzporträts zeichnen ein facettenreiches Bild von Menschen, die Jesus während seines irdischen Lebens – und danach – begegnet sind. Ein ausführliches Kapitel widmet sich Jesus selbst und beleuchtet sein Leben, sein Lehren und Handeln. Dieser Band eignet sich als Einstiegslektüre ins Neue Testament und als Nachschlagewerk für die berufliche Praxis. Neben Erläuterungen zu den Bibeltexten enthält er zeitgeschichtliche Zusatzinformationen und bietet Impulse für die bleibende Bedeutung dieser Erzählungen.

Ist Beten sinnvoll? In einem seiner philosophischen Lehrvorträge widmet sich Maximos von Tyros dem Gebet und dem hinter den Vorstellungen vom Gebet stehenden Gottesbild. Lässt sich Gott beeinflussen? Und falls ja: wüsste der Mensch überhaupt, worum sinnvoll zu bitten wäre? Ausgehend von mythischen Beispielen diskutiert der Philosoph die philosophischen Implikationen des Bittgebets und plädiert für ein Verständnis des Gebets als eines fortwährenden Gesprächs mit dem Göttlichen. Neben dem Text und einer kommentierten Übersetzung bietet der Band eine ausführliche Einführung in den Autor und sein Werk sowie Beiträge aus den Bereichen Philosophie und klassische Archäologie, Neues Testament und frühe Kirchengeschichte, die die Rede in den zeitgenössischen philosophisch-religiösen Diskurs zum Gebet und dessen sozialgeschichtliche Dimensionen einordnen.

We invoke the ideal of tolerance in response to conflict, but what does it mean to answer conflict with a call for tolerance? Is tolerance a way of resolving conflicts or a means of sustaining them? Does it transform conflicts into productive tensions, or does it perpetuate underlying power relations? To what extent does tolerance hide its involvement with power and act as a form of depoliticization? Wendy Brown and Rainer Forst debate the uses and misuses of tolerance, an exchange that highlights the fundamental differences in their critical practice despite a number of political similarities. Both scholars address the normative premises, limits, and political implications of various conceptions of tolerance. Brown offers a genealogical critique of contemporary discourses on tolerance in Western liberal societies, focusing on their inherent ties to colonialism and imperialism, and Forst reconstructs an intellectual history of tolerance that attempts to redeem its political virtue in democratic societies. Brown and Forst work from different perspectives and traditions, yet they each remain wary of the subjection and abnegation embodied in toleration discourses, among other issues. The result is a dialogue rich in critical and conceptual reflections on power, justice, discourse, rationality, and identity.

'Nowhere, beloved, can world be but within us' Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926) is one of the leading poets of European Modernism, and one of the greatest twentieth-century lyric poets in German. From The Book of Hours in 1905 to the Sonnets of Orpheus written in 1922, his poetry explores themes of death, love, and loss. He strives constantly to interrogate the relationship between his art and the world around him, moving from the neo-romantic and the mystic towards the precise craft of expressing the everyday in poetry. This bilingual edition fully reflects Rilke's poetic development. It contains the full text of the Duino Elegies and the Sonnets to Orpheus, selected poems from The Book of Images, New Poems, and earlier volumes, and from the uncollected poetry 1906-26. The translations are accurate, sensitive, and nuanced, and are accompanied by an introduction and notes that elucidate Rilke's poetic practice and his central role in modern poetry. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.
