“Women strike – the world stands still?” Feminist Theories of Radical Social Change between Utopian Anticipations and Real Interventions
Get PDFThis article provides an overview of specific reformations of feminist protest in the present. As an analytical approach, feminist theories of radical social change between utopian anticipations and real interventions are introduced. In addition to utopian anticipations, real interventions can currently be observed in feminist strikes and uprisings worldwide. In order to make them useful for an analysis of feminist blueprints for radical social change, the contribution discusses the following questions: what is the relationship between strategies, means and forms of feminist protest? How are the dynamics of structural social crisis linked to conceptions of radical social change? What shifts in feminist understandings of violence and radicalism are evident in the theoretical frameworks and forms of protest? What utopias and feminist perspectives on the good life and on emancipation are expressed and articulated by the participants?

Early Byzantine Amuletic Pendant for Megale, Daughter of Charitous (BNF Froehner.630)
No full textThe paper offers an edition, translation, and commentary of an interestingearly Byzantine leaf-shaped bronze pendant, inscribed on both sides withapotropaic formulae. Currently preserved by the Département des Monnaies,médailles et antiques of the French National Library (inv. Froehner.630), theamulet belongs to the milieu of Syro-Palestinian workshops active in the 5thand 6th century CE. Of particular note is the absence of a \u27Holy Rider\u27iconography, as well as the presence of a personalized apotropaic formula, theformer being extremely frequent, the latter very rare for this type of pendant.The paper offers an edition, translation, and commentary of an interestingearly Byzantine leaf-shaped bronze pendant, inscribed on both sides withapotropaic formulae.

Frage und Antwort in Recht und Geschäftspraxis der römischen Kaiserzeit: Die Klausel ex interrogatione facta tabellarum signatarum
No full textThe words ex interrogatione facta tabellarum signatarum in Roman documents of the imperial period attest to a practice of recognising by the party concerned of the contents of a witness deed already drawn up. The recognition takes place following a question by the other party: "Did this happen as described in the sealed deed?", and thus in a similar way to the Roman promise of debt (stipulatio), the transaction of remission (acceptilatio), but also the conclusion of a purchase. In all these cases, the question and answer shape the solemnity of the declaration. This broader Roman practice calls into question the previously prevailing opinion that the question-answer clause in the Graeco-Egyptian papyri was always documentation of a (misunderstood) Roman stipulatio.The words ex interrogatione facta tabellarum signatarum in Roman documents of the imperial period attest to a practice of recognising by the party concerned of the contents of a witness deed already drawn up.

Madre e hijo, sombra y luz: La muerte de Raquel en el nacimiento de Benjamín según reescrituras de la temprana Edad Moderna
Get PDFA child comes into the world as his mother takes her last breath. Benjamin\u27s first cry coincides with his mother Raquel\u27s final words. Early modern poets and hagiographers draw upon this \u27dual event\u27 from Judeo-Christian tradition. Alonso Villegas, for instance, recounts it in his Flos Sanctorum. The birthing mother senses death looming over her. As she expires, she names her son, initially \u27son of her pain\u27, but Jacob rejects this somber name in favor of \u27son of his right hand\u27, signifying happiness. Benjamin\u27s birth and Raquel\u27s death epitomize maternal mortality, reflecting on birth as a moment of separation. Raquel\u27s motherhood journey, marked by infertility struggles and finally fulfilled prayers, ends tragically with her death after giving birth to her second son. This study delves into the interplay of sorrow and love, loss and memory, and condemnation and divinization in Raquel\u27s maternal experience

Understanding the Coordinative Function of Stylistic Conventions
No full textAnthropological literature on culture shock assigns a social-coordinative function to stylistic conventions such as etiquette and dress codes. In the philosophical literature on the connection between conventions and coordination, however, it is frequently claimed that stylistic conventions do not solve coordination problems, conceived of as situations of interdependent decision making that can be modelled in game theoretical terms. I argue that the debate on conventions and coordination nevertheless provides tools for understanding how and why stylistic conventions serve a coordinative purpose. Some coordination games allow for stable equilibria only by means of public signals that are external to a game, known as correlation devices. I argue that such devices come in different kinds. In complementary coordination games, primary coordination devices allow for rules that specify role-divisions, while secondary correlation devices make existing role-divisions cognitively tractable. Stylistic conventions can be interpreted as correlation devices of the latter kind. We share etiquette and dress codes as secondary correlation devices that highlight who plays which role, which transactions in role-interactions transpire, and where specific role-interactions can be expected to take place
Resonanzräume entdecken: Das MuseumsQuartier Wien als Bildungslandschaft für Kinder und Erwachsene
Get PDFEine der Exkursionen führte uns zu einem der wohl bekanntesten öffentlichen Plätze Wiens, dem MuseumsQuartier (MQ). Räumlich gesehen im Herzen der Stadt, eröffnet sich ein Blick über bedeutende Gebäude und Plätze. Hier entstand im Laufe der Zeit auf historischem Fundament eines der größten Kunst- und Kulturareale der Welt und das auf über 90.000 m² (vgl. MuseumsQuartier 2023a)
„Ich fühlte mich, als ob ich aus dem Wasser auftauchen würde.“: (Gegen-)Übertragungsdynamik in der Young Child Observation
Get PDFIn diesem Artikel wird exemplarisch die Rolle von Emotionen und Gegenübertragung im Kontext der Young Child Observation (YCO) untersucht. Die Monographische Gruppe (Dubois, 2019) diente als Methode, die Emotionen einer Beobachterin abzubilden und zu containen. Die hier erfassten Gegenübertragungen können als „Daten“ (Devereux 1967/2014, S. 69) für ein tieferes Verständnis des Beobachteten dienen
