Tracks on Repeat: Ein autoethnographischer Poessay
No full textAbstract
Zum Zeitpunkt der Verfassung dieses Artikels, befindet sich die Welt im Kampf mit einer globalen Pandemie. COVID-19 hat jeden Winkel der Welt erreicht. Die Auswirkungen der Pandemie sind verheerend, sowohl in individuellen als auch in gesellschaftlichen Kontexten. Diese auto-ethnografische Poessay (Essay in Gedichtform) bietet eine kreative Erkundung der Lebenswelt einer Schwarzen Frau mit und während COVID-19. Außerdem werden ihre Erfahrungen mit rassistischer Unterdrückung dargestellt. Es werden Ort, Zeit und Raum miteinander verwoben und die Verknüpfungen des Persönlichen, der Arbeitswelt und dem Sozio-Kulturellen deutlich. Dieses Werk greift hereinbrechende und konflikthafte Spannungen auf, es verstärkt diese, ohne aber zu versuchen diese zu lösen. Abstract
Al momento della stesura di questo articolo, il mondo è alle prese con una pandemia globale. Il COVID-19 ha raggiunto ogni angolo del mondo. L\u27impatto è stato devastante sia in contesti individuali che collettivi. Questa poesia auto-etnografica è un\u27esplorazione creativa dell\u27esperienza o delle esperienze di vita di una donna di colore all’interno e attraverso il COVID-19, e la sopportazione dell\u27oppressione razziale. Si intreccia fra tempo, spazio e luogo, riconoscendo l\u27interconnessione fra personale, professionale e socio-culturale. Questo brano amplifica intenzionalmente e affronta le tensioni emergenti e conflittuali, senza cercare di risolverle. At the time of this writing, the world is in the throes of a global pandemic. COVID-19 has reached every corner of the world. The impact has been devastating across individual and collective contexts. This autoethnographic poessay is a creative exploration of a Black woman’s experience(s) of living in and through COVID-19 and enduring racial oppression. It weaves between time, space and place recognizing the interconnectedness of the personal, professional, and social-cultural. This piece intentionally amplifies, and grapples with, emergent and conflicting tensions without seeking to resolve them

Relativizers as markers of grammatical complexity: A diachronic, cross-register study of English and German
No full textIn this paper, we investigate grammatical complexity as a register feature of scientific English and German. Specifically, we carry out a diachronic comparison between general and scientific discourse in the two languages from the 17th to the 19th century, using relativizers as proxies for grammatical complexity. We ground our study in register theory (Halliday and Hasan, 1985), assuming that language use reflects contextual factors, which contribute to the formation of registers (Quirk et al., 1985; Biber et al., 1999; Teich et al., 2016). Our findings show a clear tendency towards grammatical simplification in scientific discourse in both languages with English spearheading the trend early on and German following later
Lexicogrammar through colligation: Noun + Preposition in English and Norwegian
No full textThis study compares sequences of noun and preposition in English and Norwegian using data from the English-Norwegian Parallel Corpus. One purpose is to test the use of sequences of part-of-speech tags as a search method for contrastive studies. The other is to investigate the functions and meanings of prepositional phrases in the position after a noun across the two languages. The comparison of original texts shows that the function of postmodifier is most frequent in both languages, with adverbial in second place. Other functions are rare. English has more postmodifiers and fewer adverbials than Norwegian. Furthermore, the prepositional phrases express locative meaning, in both functions, more frequently in Norwegian than in English. The study of translations reveals that the adverbials have congruent correspondences more often than postmodifiers, particularly in translations from English into Norwegian
Eyes and speech in English, Finnish and Czech children’s literature
No full textThis study explores cross-linguistically, in English, Czech and Finnish, eye-behaviour that occurs in children’s fiction in the vicinity of character speech. We explore how authentic eye behaviour, as an important part of non-verbal communication, is rendered in fictional worlds. While there are more similarities than differences across the languages in the characteristics and narrative functions of fictional eye-behaviour, the linguistic encoding differs substantially due to typological differences between the languages. The same semantic roles are often expressed by divergent syntactic means. The divergence is reflected primarily in the relative weight of different word-order principles, the different means of indicating simultaneity, as well as the role of inflection in Finnish and Czech
Cannabis policy reform in Germany: Political and constitutional discourses on decriminalisation and regulation strategies
Get PDF
There is relentless discussion in Germany about the right manner to deal with cannabis and its users. In 1994 and 2004, the Federal Constitutional Court reaffirmed the legal appropriateness of prohibition. However, since then, studies and data about the dangers and effects of cannabis use have quieted alarm, and Europe, alongside the once-prohibitive United States, has had its initial experiences with liberalised use of cannabis. Since the founding of the Schildower Kreis, a network of experts from science and practice, 122 German criminal law professors have petitioned the Bundestag for an Enquête Commission. The aim of this paper is, on the one hand, to provide insight into German narcotics law. On the other hand, the political arguments for sticking to prohibition are contrasted with the numerous empirical findings that are now available. The results of the empirical studies now challenge the Federal Constitutional Court and the legislature to review their previous course and possibly break new ground in drug policy. The basis of the Federal Constitutional Court’s decisions no longer exists. The Narcotics Act and constitutional discourse on cannabis prohibition need to be reviewed, as do political arguments about resources and high costs. Indications of a paradigm shift in drug policy, as required by the Global Commission on Drug Policy, are hesitantly appearing in Germany
Kashi Labh: Aesthetics of dying, family as a unit of care and the last vital breath in Kashi, India’s sacred city.
No full textKashi Labh is a sensory audiovisual ethnography of the distinctive politics-of-care staged by families while they anticipate and create the possibility of Moksha for their dying relative in Kashi (Varanasi). This research examines audiovisual ethnography as it facilitates a performative space that allowed me and my interlocutor Shiv to navigate the holy city and improvise different possibilities for his mother’s Moksha during his ten-day stay in Kashi.
 
Report on the Current State of Practice and Training of Music Therapists Working With Adolescents
No full textEin Bericht über den aktuellen Stand der Praxis und Ausbildung von Musiktherapeuten in der Arbeit mit Jugendlichen
Abstract
Die musiktherapeutische Praxis der Musiktherapie mit Jugendlichen wächst weltweit, da die besonderen Bedürfnisse von Jugendlichen zunehmend anerkannt werden. In diesem Bericht teilen wir Informationen, gesammelt in den Jahren von 2016-2017, von 247 Musiktherapeut:innen über die Ausbildung und musiktherapeutische Praxis mit Jugendlichen. Die teilnehmenden Musiktherapeut:innen kamen aus 25 Ländern und hatten die Möglichkeit, die Fragen in drei Sprachen zu beantworten - Englisch (n = 114), Deutsch (n = 97) und Italienisch (n = 36). Häufigste Arbeitsplätze waren Krankenhäuser und Schulen mit jungen Menschen, die Behinderungen und psychische Probleme haben. Die Antworten deuten auch darauf hin, dass die Arbeitsplätze in diesen Bereichen sich von denen der Kolleg:innen, die mit ähnlichen Jugendlichen arbeiten, unterschieden. Außerdem wird angedeutet, dass die Anzahl an Arbeitsstunden trotz fortlaufender Beschäftigung insgesamt nicht besonders hoch ist. Die gesammelten Informationen vermitteln ein Bild davon, wie Universitätsprogramme rund um den Globus zum einen die Bedeutung emotionaler und sozialer Bedürfnisse von Jugendlichen und zum anderen auch den Wert entwicklungsorientierter und humanistischer Ansätze für die Praxis in unterschiedlichen Arbeitskontexten betonen. Es wurde weniger auf aktuelle Theorien oder Praktiken verwiesen. Stattdessen liegt eine stärkere Betonung auf traditionellen Praktiken, die denen ähneln, die bei Erwachsenen angewendet werden. Dies deutet darauf hin, dass sich das Fachgebiet in Bezug auf Ansätze in der praktischen Arbeit mit Jugendlichen noch in der Entwicklung befindet und die Zeit für eine Abgrenzung gegen dominante praktische und theoretische Traditionen vielleicht erst noch kommen wird.与青少年工作的音乐治疗师实践及培训现况报告
摘要
青少年的音乐治疗实践工作在全球范围内不断发展，人们越来越认识到年轻人的特殊需要。在这份报告中，我们分享了从247名音乐治疗师那里获得的关于2016-2017年青少年音乐治疗培训和实践的信息。接受调查的音乐治疗师来自25个国家，他们可以选择用三种语言回答问题：英语（n=114）、德语（n=97）和意大利语（n=36）。最常见的工作场所是有残疾和心理健康问题的青少年医院和学校。结果还表明，该领域的就业模式与与类似青少年一起工作的其他同事略有不同，尽管有持续的工作，但总的来说工作时间并不高。调查收集的信息阐述了关于全球大学如何强调青少年的情感和社会需求重要性的现状，以及发展性和人本主义方法在各种背景下的实践价值。在调查收集的信息中，对当代理论或实践的引用较少，而更多强调的是类似的用于成年人的传统实践方法。这表明，该领域可能仍在不断发展与青少年有关的的实践方法，而反抗主流实践和理论传统的时代可能还没有到来。同时，在接受调查的国家中存在着显著的一致性，为与年轻人进行有效的音乐治疗实践奠定了坚实的基础。Report sullo stato attuale della pratica e della formazione dei musicoterapisti che lavorano con adolescenti
Abstract
La pratica della musicoterapia con gli adolescenti sta crescendo in tutto il mondo con un maggior riconoscimento sui bisogni particolari che hanno i giovani. In questo rapporto, condividiamo le informazioni ricevute da 247 musicoterapisti sulla formazione e la pratica con gli adolescenti, raccolte nel 2016-2017. I musicoterapisti provenivano da 25 paesi e avevano la possibilità di rispondere alle domande in tre lingue: inglese (n = 114), tedesco (n = 97) e italiano (n = 36). I luoghi di lavoro più comuni erano ospedali e scuole con giovani che avevano disabilità e problemi di salute mentale. Le risposte indicano anche che i livelli occupazionali sul campo sono leggermente diversi da quelli di altri colleghi che lavorano con adolescenti simili e, sebbene sia disponibile un lavoro continuativo, il numero di ore non è complessivamente elevato. Le informazioni raccolte forniscono un’immagine di come i programmi universitari in tutto il mondo enfatizzino l\u27importanza dei bisogni emotivi e sociali degli adolescenti, nonché il valore di approcci evolutivi e umanistici per poter praticare in una varietà di contesti. C\u27era anche meno riferimento a teorie o pratiche contemporanee e più enfasi su pratiche tradizionali simili a quelle usate con gli adulti. Ciò suggerisce che il campo riferito ad approcci e pratica con gli adolescenti potrebbe essere ancora in evoluzione, e che il tempo per la ribellione contro tradizioni dominanti relative a pratica e teorizzazione, potrebbe essere ancora in divenire. Nel frattempo, c\u27è una notevole coerenza fra i paesi esaminati, e si sono gettate solide basi per una competente pratica musicoterapica con i giovani.The practice of music therapy with adolescents is growing around the globe and there is increased recognition that young people have particular needs. In this report, we share information received from 247 music therapists about training about and practice with adolescents that was collected in 2016–2017. The music therapists were from 25 countries and had the option of answering questions in three languages—English (n = 114), German (n = 97) and Italian (n = 36). The most common workplaces were hospitals and schools with young people who have disabilities and mental health challenges. Answers also suggest that employment patterns in the field are slightly different to other colleagues who work with similar adolescents, and although ongoing work is available, the number of hours are not high overall. The information gathered provides a picture of how university programs around the globe emphasise the importance of emotional and social needs of adolescents, and the value of developmental and humanistic approaches to practice in a range of contexts. There was less reference to contemporary theories or practices and more emphasis on traditional practices that are similar to those used with adults. This suggests that the field may still be evolving in relation to adolescent approaches to practice, and the time for rebellion against dominant traditions of practice and theorising may be still to come. In the meantime, there is remarkable consistency across the countries surveyed and solid foundations have been laid for competent music therapy practice with young people.Informe sobre el estado actual de la práctica y la formación de los musicoterapeutas que trabajan con adolescentes
Resumen
La práctica de la musicoterapia con adolescentes está creciendo en todo el mundo y se reconoce cada vez más que los jóvenes tienen necesidades particulares. En este informe, compartimos información recibida de 247 musicoterapeutas sobre la capacitación y la práctica con adolescentes que se recopiló en 2016-2017. Los musicoterapeutas eran de 25 países y tenían la opción de responder preguntas en tres idiomas: inglés (n = 114), alemán (n = 97) e italiano (n = 36). Los lugares de trabajo más comunes fueron hospitales y escuelas con jóvenes con discapacidades y dificultades con salud mental. Las respuestas también sugieren que los patrones de empleo en el campo son ligeramente diferentes a los de otros colegas que trabajan con adolescentes similares, y aunque hay trabajo continuo disponible, la cantidad de horas no es alta en general. La información recopilada proporciona una imagen de cómo los programas universitarios en todo el mundo enfatizan la importancia de las necesidades emocionales y sociales de los adolescentes, y el valor de los enfoques humanísticos y de desarrollo para la práctica en una variedad de contextos. Hubo menos referencia a las teorías o prácticas contemporáneas y más énfasis en las prácticas tradicionales que son similares a las que se usan con los adultos. Esto sugiere que el campo aún puede estar evolucionando en relación con los enfoques de la práctica de los adolescentes, y el momento de la rebelión contra las tradiciones dominantes de práctica y teorización puede estar aún por llegar. Mientras tanto, existe una consistencia notable en los países encuestados y se han establecido bases sólidas para la práctica competente de la musicoterapia con los jóvenes

Daily Survival
No full textDue to ecological disturbances, the scarcity of natural resources, especially fish, is increasingly disrupting the rhythm of life of local fishermen Mousgoum in the flood plain to the point where Moumin and his family are integrating new activities to survive on a daily basis according to the seasons and fishing. With 47 individuals, in addition to basic activities, therefore fishing and breeding, Moumin as head of the family is forced to cultivate rice in the dry season, breeding more and more important despite the rainy season hostile to breeding, and the beef trade in the dry season. In addition to these activities considered temporary, the management of the gain obtained from the fish during the fishing season changes the socio-economic life of Moumin’s family. Between these different survival activities, far from giving up their status as fishermen, Moumin’s family considers these secondary activities as a strategy for dealing with the environmental crises of the plain
