Heinrich Böll – „Die verlorene Ehre der Katharina Blum“
Get PDFDer Aufsatz widmet sich der medialen Hetze, wie sie in Heinrich Bölls Erzählung „Die verlorene Ehre der Katharina Blum“ dargestellt wird, und dem Einfluss, den diese auf die strafrechtliche Verantwortlichkeit der Protagonistin hat. Mithilfe kriminologischer Theorien werden die Mechanismen erläutert, die zur Eskalation der Gewalt und letztlich zur Tötung des Journalisten Tötges führen. Im Anschluss erfolgt eine strafrechtliche Bewertung der Tat unter Berücksichtigung von Katharina Blums Tatentschluss, möglichen Rechtfertigungs- und Entschuldigungsgründen sowie der rechtlichen Einordnung der Tötung.
This article is dedicated to the media agitation depicted in Heinrich Böll\u27s story “The Lost Honour of Katharina Blum” and the influence it has on the protagonist\u27s criminal responsibility. The role of the tabloid newspaper as a trigger for social exclusion and psychological pressure on Katharina Blum is analysed, also considering the work\u27s history of origin. Criminological theories are used to explain the mechanisms that lead to the escalation of violence and ultimately to the killing of the journalist Tötges. This is followed by an assessment of the crime in terms of criminal law, considering Katharina Blum\u27s decision to commit the crime, possible justifications and excuses as well as the legal classification of the killing
Suzie Miller – „Prima Facie“
Get PDFDer Beitrag analysiert Suzie Millers „Prima Facie“ im Hinblick auf die strafrechtliche Aufarbeitung sexualisierter Gewalt in einem patriarchal geprägten Rechtssystem. Im Zentrum steht die Figur der Strafverteidigerin Tessa, die nach einer Vergewaltigung selbst zur Klägerin wird und am Justizsystem zu scheitern droht. Der Text beleuchtet, wie patriarchale Strukturen die Wahrheitsfindung erschweren und zur sekundären Viktimisierung führen. Zudem zieht der Beitrag Parallelen zur deutschen Rechtslage, insbesondere zur Beweisproblematik in Aussage gegen-Aussage-Konstellationen und diskutiert die Notwendigkeit einer gendersensiblen Rechtsprechung.
This article examines Suzie Miller’s play Prima Facie with a focus on the criminal prosecution of sexual violence within a patriarchal legal system. The protagonist, criminal defense lawyer Tessa, becomes a victim herself and finds that the justice system fails her. The piece ex- plores how patriarchal norms obstruct truth-seeking and lead to secondary victimization. The analysis also draws parallels to the German legal context, especially regard- ing evidentiary challenges and argues for a gender-sensitive legal approach
Sprachbildung im Vorbereitungsdienst: Evidenzen – Desiderate – Forschungsperspektiven
No full textAusgehend von dem wachsenden Bedarf an für sprachliche Vielfalt qualifizierten Lehrpersonen sowie der zentralen Rolle des Vorbereitungsdienstes für den Professionalisierungsprozess angehender Lehrkräfte führt der Beitrag zunächst politisch-curriculare Rahmenbedingungen und empirische Evidenzen zum Gegenstand Sprachbildung in der Lehrkräftebildung zusammen. Darauf aufbauend werden zentrale Desiderate und Forschungsperspektiven für das Forschungsfeld Vorbereitungsdienst aufgezeigt.
Based on the growing demand for teachers qualified in linguistic diversity and the central role of the induction phase for the professionalization process of prospective teachers, the article first combines political-curricular framework conditions and empirical evidence on the subject of language education in teacher education. Subsequently, central desiderata and research perspectives for the induction phase are identified

No full textMit dem Erzählen von der Zukunft sind nicht nur Imaginationen technologischer Entwicklungsmöglichkeiten, wie Künstlicher Intelligenz oder transhumanistische Ideen, sondern auch Reflexionen über sozio-ökologische Komplexität, ethische Herausforderungen zukünftiger Entwicklungen und Fragen nach Vorstellungen erstrebenswerter Zukünfte im Modus des Narrativen verbunden. Dies ist vor allem angesichts der Verunsicherung junger Menschen und einer literaturdidaktischen Fokussierung auf dystopische Erzählungen bedeutsam und führt zu der Frage, wie sich Lernsituationen gestalten lassen, die das Imaginieren positiver Entwicklungen in den Mittelpunkt stellen. Der Beitrag stellt das Konzept eines Future Fiction Makerspace vor, das an der Universität zu Köln im Rahmen der teff-Academy (Teacher Education for a Future in Flux) stattfand. Das innovative Format des Future Fiction Makerspace zielt darauf ab, die Zusammenarbeit mit Lehrkräften und Schulen sowie Forschenden im Kontext der größeren teff-Community zur weiteren Entwicklung und eventuellen Integration in spezifische Bildungssysteme verschiedener teff-Institutionen in Europa zu stärken. Neben der Vorstellung des Konzepts, das eine themenbezogene Verknüpfung aller drei Phasen der Lehrkräftebildung intendiert, wird die Kooperation aller Beteiligten in den Vordergrund gestellt. Ziel ist die ko-kreative Entwicklung von Erkenntnissen bezüglich einer transformativen, inklusiven, digitalen und kultursensiblen Forschung, auch im Hinblick auf deren Innovationspotenzial einer zukunftsorientierten Lehrkräftebildung.
Narratives about the future are not only concerned with the imagination of technological advancements, such as artificial intelligence or transhumanist ideas, but also with reflecting socio-ecological complexity, ethical challenges of the future, and the question of desirable futures. This is particularly relevant in light of young people’s insecurities as well as the current educational focus on dystopian narratives in literature and leads to the question of how learning situations can be designed that focus on imagining more positive futures. This article presents the concept of a Future Fiction Makerspace, which took place at the University of Cologne as part of the teff Academy (Teacher Education for a Future in Flux). The innovative format of the Future Fiction Makerspace aims to strengthen collaboration with teachers and schools as well as researchers in the context of the wider teff community for the further development of educational tool kits and their eventual integration into specific educational systems within different teff institutions in Europe. In addition to presenting our concept, which links all three phases of teacher training, we emphasise the importance and potential of cooperation of all participants. We aim to outline the co-creative development of our findings relating to transformative, inclusive, digital and culturally sensitive research, also with regard to its innovative potential for future-oriented teacher training
Kommunikative Rationalität für Statistical Literacy: Ein Framework zur Analyse der Kommunikation von Lernenden über datenbasierte Argumentationen
No full textStatistical Literacy beschreibt die Fähigkeit einer Person, datenbasierte Argumente einer anderen Person zu interpretieren und Reaktionen darauf kommunizieren zu können. Die kommunikative Reaktion auf datenbasierte Argumente ist in der Forschung dabei allerdings nicht ausreichend spezifiziert. Im Beitrag wird ein Framework vorgestellt, welches dazu die Konstrukte der kommunika-tiven Rationalität von Habermas adaptiert. Das Framework erlaubt in einer empirischen Studie tiefgehende Einsichten in die Fähigkeit zur Kommunikation über datenbasierte Argumente durch Lernende. Dadurch wird auch die Rolle von Daten und Data Literacy für Statistical Literacy verortet.Whereas data literacy focuses on an individual’s ability to utilize data, statistical literacy focuses on two interlocutor’s ability to interpret and communicate about data-based arguments. The communicative component of statistical literacy, however, remains underdeveloped in research discourse. This contribution illustrates a framework for the communicative component by adapting Habermas’ rationality constructs. The results of an empirical study show that the framework allows deep insights into students’ statistical literacy. This also allows a clearer specification of the relation between data literacy and statistical literacy
Understanding significance tests (simulation-based)
No full textData Literacy umfasst auch Kompetenzen zur Interpretation von Daten und Analysen, beispielsweise mithilfe von Signifikanztests. Die Bedeutung von Signifikanztests unterliegt jedoch vielen Fehlvorstellungen. Im Rahmen eines Kurses für begabte Schüler:innen wurden inferenzstatistische Methoden (simulationsbasiert mit R) eingeführt. Der Nachtest zeigt: Während die Schüler:innen nach dem Workshop qualitativ einschätzen können, was es bedeutet, wenn der p-Wert das Signifikanzniveau unterschreitet, unterliegen noch viele dem sogenannten Relevanzfehlschluss. Abschließend werden Vorschläge für die Weiterentwicklung des Workshops vorgestellt.Data literacy also includes skills for interpreting data, for example with the help of significance tests. However, there are many misconceptions about the meaning of significance tests. As part of a course for gifted students, inferential statistical methods were taught (simulation-based with R). The post-test shows: While the students can qualitatively assess after the workshop what it means when the p-value falls below the significance level, many are still subject to the so-called relevance fallacy. Finally, suggestions for the further development of the workshop are presented
Wie wird die Bedingung formuliert? Eine Untersuchung zur sprachlichen Beschreibung von bedingten Wahrscheinlichkeiten
No full textIn der vorliegenden Arbeit wird mittels qualitativer Inhaltsanalyse ein Kategoriensystem entwickelt, das die sprachlichen Formulierungen von bedingten Wahrscheinlichkeiten aus einer linguistischen Perspektive systematisch erfasst. Es werden sechs verschiedene Kategorien identifiziert, wobei vier verschiedene Stufen der Explizitheit unterschieden werden. Eine anschließende kategoriengeleitete Textanalyse von Aufgabentexten aktueller Schulbücher zeigt, dass sich die Bandbreite der verwendeten Formulierungen zwischen den Lehrwerken unterscheidet. Implikationen für Forschung und Praxis werden diskutiert.This paper uses qualitative content analysis to develop a category system that systematically records the formulations of conditional probabilities from a linguistic perspective. A subsequent category-based text analysis of task texts from current textbooks reveals that the range of formulations used differs between the textbooks. In addition, linguistic expressions of N=77 high school graduates are examined with regard to typical errors in conditional probabilities. Implications for research and practice are discussed
Esculpiendo la forma negra. La conceptualización de las artes visuales afrodescendientes en la obra de Teodoro Ramos Blanco.
No full textWithin Latin American visual arts, the name Teodoro Ramos Blanco remains largely unknown, despite being one of the most significant sculptors of Cuba\u27s Republican period. This is unsurprising given the systematic exclusion of Afrodescendant artists from the hemisphere\u27s art histories. Ramos Blanco created the sculptures for iconic public works in Cuba and Haiti, he exhibited throughout the region, and trained generations of artists and advanced the nation’s cultural life through his work with the Círculo de Bellas Artes (CBA) and the National Academy of Fine Arts San Alejandro. This article highlights an unexplored dimension, not only of his pioneering work but also of the region\u27s art histories. It traces the origins of conceptualizations of Afrodescendant visual arts envisioned by Afro-Latin American artists. Beyond his pioneering output and his pedagogical and administrative contributions, Ramos Blanco stands out for his exceptional writings on race and the arts, where he conceptualized what he called the black form in the 1930s. His framework was explicitly diasporic and antiracist, sculpting the Afrodescendant character as a resilient and transformative force. This article weaves together his biography, his work, and his conception of the black form, broadening the coordinates of thought and action of Afro-Latin American artists while illuminating the legacy of this sculptor.Within Latin American visual arts, the name Teodoro Ramos Blanco remains largely unknown, despite being one of the most significant sculptors of Cuba\u27s Republican period.

Esto no es sorprendente, dada la exclusión sistemática de artistas afrodescendientes de las historias del arte del hemisferio. Ramos Blanco creó las esculturas para obras públicas emblemáticas de Cuba y de Haití, expuso a lo largo de la región, además de preparar a generaciones de artistas e impulsar la vida cultural nacional a través de su labor en el Círculo de Bellas Artes (CBA) y la Academia Nacional de Bellas Artes San Alejandro. Este artículo resalta un aspecto inexplorado, no solo de su obra pionera, sino también del arte de la región, historizando los orígenes de las conceptualizaciones de la plástica afrodescendiente propuestas por artistas afrolatinoamericanos. Mas allá de su obra y trabajo pedagógico y administrativo, Ramos Blanco se destaca por sus excepcionales escritos donde conceptualizó lo que él llamó la forma negra desde los años 1930. Su propuesta, radical para el momento, fue explícitamente diaspórica y antirracista, esculpiendo el carácter afrodescendiente como una potencia resiliente y transformadora. Este artículo entrelaza su biografía, su obra y su concepción de la forma negra, expandiendo las coordenadas del pensamiento y la acción de los artistas afrolatinoamericanos, a la vez que se ilumina el legado del escultor
Feminist Interventions and Intercultural Mobilities in Satoshi Miyagi’s ‘Othello in Noh Style’
No full textI shall examine the ways in which moving the excluded female body onto the Noh stage in this production constitutes a materialist feminist intervention both into the ‘form’ of historically all-male Noh performance, and into the ‘focalisation’ of Shakespeare’s narrative, providing a specifically female articulation of the memory and experience of trauma. Desdemona’s memory of the past becomes the dramatic plot of Othello re-constructed, to enact a new subject position: Desdemona’s ghost. This material intervention facilitates temporal and spatial mobilities unique to intercultural performance, opening possibilities for theorising at the intersection of interculturalism and gender. Noh is a classical Japanese performance form from the 14th century. However, Noh performance only allowed male actors, so there emerges a disjunction between female character-types, and codified performances that did not involve the actual participation of female actors. Consequently, feminine identity and subjectivity is rendered always performative, an effect of the citation and repetition of formal aesthetic codes. Casting actresses intervenes in the performance history of Noh – particularly because the visual presentation of the actress’s distinctly feminine features foregrounds the materiality of the female body on the Noh stage. Desdemona’s ghost inhabits the multiple temporal and spatial configurations of the narrative as well as that of the Noh stage, allowing for a complex working-through of her trauma. The material presence of the actress intervenes in the narrative focalisation of Shakespeare’s Othello – which concludes with the effacement and silencing of Desdemona’s agency and voice through death. By fracturing the temporality of Shakespeare’s Othello narrative, this intercultural Noh performance mobilises and re-constructs the working-through of traumatised female subjectivity as taking place in the present, shifting narrative authority to Desdemona’s ghost. The narrative is now focalised through her perspective as shite, the primary character in Noh, and is articulated in her own narrative voice: she is effectively wresting her narrative voice and agency from Shakespeare’s text in this intercultural performance
Frontmatter and Editorial
No full textIn lieu of an abstract, here is the first paragraph of the editorial:
Given the new normal of fascist-oid populisms and all too familiar neoliberalism, ‘the Muslim woman’ is produced as a performative battleground of ideological and normative contradictions; as a commodity product with a rearranged voice, not an arrangeur of voicings. The AfD (Alternative for Germany) – with its gendered Islamophobic rhetoric materialized in election posters that mobilize the image of burqa-clad women to warn against the supposed Islamization of German – rose to 13% in the 2017 German parliamentary elections. Austria recently banned face-veils to make a stand against the oppression of Muslim women, relying on an all too common, ethnosexist ‘saving-brown-women-from-brown-men’ discourse (Spivak 49; Abu-Lughod 784), whilst neglecting the symbolic violence undergirding standardized body politics. In a more alarming and far reaching manner, a recent ruling by the European Court of Justice which grants employers the right to ban all religious symbols in professional settings is not only to be read as an attack on religious embodied practices and identity formations under the sign of religious neutrality, but also as a juridical precarization of Muslim headdress-wearing women, refusing to meet the coercions of mandatory assimilation (El Aabedy). Sadly enough, we have not yet moved beyond the over-significance of the veil in debates about Islam, women and gender, which makes the veil police and the no-veil police strange bedfellows. And sadly enough, such a move seems far from possible, so long as commentators like the self-declared Muslim feminist Seyran Ateş insist that veils gender and sexualize, whilst excluding embodied performances of hair-dos, make-up and the latest fashions from this line of reasoning (see Yeğenoğlu 63). What the aforementioned legislations and attitudes foreclose is what Sara Ahmed terms “a future response to an other whom I may yet approach”, an approach that does not intend to outlaw identities that I personally and affectively cannot (imagine) to live (Strange 146, Ahmed’s emphasis). The may-yet temporality of this approach helps to imagine encounters beyond the mediated histories of prejudiced sentiment – ranging from pity to disgust – and the fantasy of knowing what is best for the other
