Video-Quiz im schulischen Chinesischunterricht
Get PDFDas Ziel dieses Beitrags ist die Vorstellung einer Reihe von Video-Quiz, die ich für den Chinesischunterricht entwickelt habe, sowie die Diskussion ihrer Wirksamkeit. Basierend auf dem Forschungsstand kann davon ausgegangen werden, dass Video-Quiz ein wirksames Instrument sind, solange sie zum Üben oder Wiederholen verwendet werden, und dass ihre Wirksamkeit durch kooperative Sozialformen und die Förderung der Hörstrategien gesteigert werden kann. Deutsche SchülerInnen (N = 65) finden die Video-Quiz enjoyable (0,7 auf der Skala von -2 bis +2) und praktisch alle (97%) möchten sie machen, jedoch lieber im Unterricht (49%) als zu Hause (18%). Das enjoyment der Video-Quiz korreliert positiv mit dem Alter und dem Sprachniveau, daher sollen die SchülerInnen in weniger fortgeschrittenen Gruppen vor einem Video-Quiz vorentlastet werden. Insgesamt begrüßen die SchülerInnen die Video-Quiz, weil sie mehr Abwechslung in den Unterricht bringen
Tale of the ‘Twin City’: Historicizing the Urban Form of Nagpur (1803-1936)
Get PDFThe study attempts to analyse the applicability of global colonial theories at the grassroots levels through a case study of Nagpur. Nagpur was first the capital of Gond rulers, then the Marathas, and later the administrative headquarters for the Central Provinces in the colonial period. As the second capital of Maharashtra, Nagpur also continues to assert its position in the political realm in the postcolonial period. However, despite its prominence, there is an unusual gap in colonial records about the city. This study aims to fill these gaps and historicizes the formation of urban Nagpur. Categorizing key events in history based on archival sources under the three frameworks of colonial urban development, trade, and public culture, this study consolidates a cogent historical narrative especially by redrawing archival maps between 1818 and 1930 and linking them with important events, to reimagine the trajectory of urbanization. The study attempts to critically analyse spatial components from British governance: the administrative area, the railways, the cantonment, the civil lines, and the ‘buffer space’ to demonstrate how the emergence of a European environment distanced itself from the medieval city as a strategic defence mechanism. This buffer zone underwent transformation; the cordon sanitaire understood as that very component of colonial separation became the centre of trade and industrialization. This introduces the third entity in the development of urban Nagpur: its immigrant elites, and its labour force that complicates this urban form of the ‘twin cities’
“Now I am Constantly Sick”: Environmental Degradation and the Impact on Toba Women’s Health after Land Conflict
Get PDFThis article examines the intersection of land conflict, environmental degradation and women’s health in the context of Toba communities in Pandumaan-Sipituhuta, Indonesia, through a feminist political ecology lens. It explores how land dispossession exacerbates gender inequalities, particularly the disproportionate health impacts on women. The research shows how indigenous Toba women internalise and reinforce patriarchal expectations, taking personal responsibility for their health despite external socio-ecological factors. This manifests through monitoring within the community, internalised misogynistic judgements and expectations of health performance. At the same time, the women’s reliance on each other’s labour in agriculture fosters solidarity, where health and labour become deeply interconnected. The article highlights how these dynamics contribute to a gendered response to environmental change, with women bearing a disproportionate burden in both health and labour

Get PDFThe Island where Future Possibilities Bloom. Language, gender, and identity issues in Li Kotomi’s Higanbana ga saku shima
Get PDFStarting from the utopian label given to The Island where Spider Lilies Bloom (Higanbana ga saku shima, 2021), in this paper I shall analyse the language, gender and identity issues depicted in the novel to explain how they function in the economy of the story and how Li Kotomi uses them to explore the complexity of the individual and the collective. Higanbana ga saku shima is set on an anonymous island where the family system is deconstructed and there are no such things as mothers or fathers, and women called “noro” rule the community using a language exclusively for women. However, what at first glance seems to be a utopian society and a story of empowerment turns out to be another example of an exclusive society, where familiar, old tropes are flipped, but fail to create inclusivity. After exploring the societal constructions and clarifying the reasons for this “failure” with reference to the trope of “liminality,” I will take “failure” as a starting point to rethink the concept of utopia and explain how it functions as a basis for moving towards a “not-yet here” critical utopianism and queer futurism.Starting from the utopian label given to The Island where Spider Lilies Bloom (Higanbana ga saku shima, 2021), in this paper I shall analyse the language, gender and identity issues depicted in the novel to explain how they function in the economy of the story and how Li Kotomi uses them to explore the complexity of the individual and the collective.
