Transcultural Education — A Framework for Supporting Students to Develop Commonalities in Cultural Complexity
No full textIn 2021, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) proposed a new social contract for education and pedagogy to be organized around building the capacities of students to work together to transform the world. Against this background, this chapter introduces the concept of transcultural education as a promising relational approach to help students learn first-hand how to cooperate and develop commonalities in a world that is shaped by cultural complexity. Building on the authors’ experience as educators and the results of an international and interdisciplinary Delphi study on transcultural competence, this chapter offers a framework on how to design and structure transcultural learning in higher education. In this practical resource for educators, the crucial role of content organization, shared experiences, debriefing, and cultivating communities of practice is emphasized in order for students to develop transcultural competences
Selbstfahrende Gesetzgebung im selbstfahrenden Parlament
No full textDie folgenden Gedanken versuchen das Modell der selbstfahrenden Gesetzgebung in einem selbstfahrenden Parlament grob zu konkretisieren. Unabhängig von den konkreten verfassungsrechtlichen Grundlagen sollen modellhaft mit Blick auf die Aufgabe der Gesetzgebung einige Ansätze skizziert werden, wie ein selbstfahrendes Parlament gestaltet sein könnte. Ganz bewusst soll dabei der weite Blick von pragmatischen über utopische bis zu dystopischen Leitbildern geworfen werden, um mögliche Ansätze zu verstehen
Geschichtskultur der Komplexität
No full textDie nächste Gesellschaft der elektronischen Medien lässt sich historisch ableiten, aber nicht mehr historisch erzählen. Die nächste Gesellschaft beendet die Fortschrittsgeschichte der modernen Buchdruckgesellschaft und öffnet den historischen Raum für eine Vielzahl durcheinanderlaufender Geschichten. An die Stelle der offenen Zukunft einer unendlichen Modernisierung treten chaotische Netzwerkereignisse und apokalyptische Vorstellungen. Der Klimawandel und die Möglichkeit atomarer Kriege bedrohen das menschliche Leben auf der Erde und die menschliche Gesellschaft. Allenfalls statistisch, anhand von Wahrscheinlichkeit, Unwahrscheinlichkeit, Überraschung und Extremfällen, kann geordnet werden, was in der Moderne trotz aller Brüche und Sonderwege Gegenstand linear-kausaler Vorstellungen war. Das Wünschenswerte lässt sich nicht bewirken, das zu Vermeidende nicht verhindern; an deren Stelle treten sensible Konstellationen, deren Druckpunkte vielfach unbekannt sind
Power of Language Automation: The Potential for Closing the Loop in Responding to Online Customer Feedback
No full textOnline customer feedback management is playing an increasingly important role for businesses. Quickly providing guests with good responses to their reviews can be challenging, especially as the number of reviews increases. To address these challenges, this paper explores the response process and the potential for AI augmentation in the formulation and quality assurance of responses. As part of a design science research approach, it proposes an orchestration concept for humans and AI in intelligence co-writing in the hospitality industry and a novel NLP-based solution, which combines the advantages of human and AI in one application. The evaluation of the developed artifact shows that it is currently not possible to close the loop and automate the response process completely. This study describes the necessary components and provides transferable design knowledge. It opens possibilities for practical applications of NLP and further IS research
What are you doing in a concert? Exploring the listening activity of concertgoers
No full textThe directedness of the listening activity in the context of musical live experiences has been rarely considered in empirical and theoretical research. While some models of musical experience integrate the listener’s directedness of attention and intention (e.g., Brattico et al., 2013; Hargreaves, 2012), empirical evidence regarding the role of auditory directedness is lacking. The question arises: what do music listeners actually listen for when listening to music (e.g., structure, emotions, sound cause) and how does this change within a listening period?A total of 83 individuals were interviewed following public chamber music concerts to explore their aesthetic experiences. A central part of the guideline-based interviews focused on the directedness of listening, aiming to investigate concertgoer’s listening activity and the situational factors that influence it.A qualitative content analysis reveals a significant connection between the directedness of listening and visual perception. Often, gaze determines the listening mode and the shift of directedness and vice versa. Furthermore, it becomes evident that even in the seemingly attentive setting of Western classical concerts, various listening modes and levels of attention are activated in the audience, influenced by factors such as the music itself, stage events, or social factors. Various concrete listening modes and mechanisms of listening mode shifting are presented from the coded data.The results are discussed in the context of a 4E understanding of cognition, referencing previous psychological and philosophical perspectives on the active role of music listeners. The study contributes significantly to conceptualizing musical experience in live music contexts as a multi-modal perceptual activity based on the listener's cognitive directedness. From a methodological perspective, the qualitative analysis provides profound insights into musical auditory activity, which can build the basis for the development of currently lacking quantitative questionnaires for researching listening directness in the future

Raum für Utopie? Soziale Virtuelle Realität auf dem Prüfstand
No full textIm Beitrag werden utopische Potenziale Sozialer Virtueller Realität untersucht. Beispielhaft wird die Plattform VRChat gewählt, um bestehende Soziale VR-Gemeinschaften zu charakterisieren. Im Abgleich mit Cyberpunk- Literatur und Ethnografien des frühen Internets wird deutlich, dass virtuelle Gemeinschaften besonders dann mit utopischen Formen demokratischer bis anarchischer Selbstorganisation experimentieren, wenn sie virtuelle Räume frei gestalten können und diese als genuine Lokalität erfahren
Managing crises as if no one is watching? Governance dilemmas from a public perspective
No full textIn the midst of ongoing crises, understanding how citizens perceive administrative crisis management is more relevant than ever. Combining organizational literature with insights from legitimacy research, this article scrutinizes how the public evaluates governance decisions concerning prominent crisis management dilemmas: flexibility versus stability, inclusion versus exclusion, and equity-based versus needs-based resource distribution. The paper argues that flexible, inclusive, and equity-based governance decisions are generally perceived as more legitimate. However, governance decisions are also associated with adverse effects that can mitigate any initially positive effect on legitimacy. The argument is tested in a large-scale randomized survey experiment in the context of a migration crisis, where governance decisions were manipulated. The findings support the expectations for inclusive crisis management and equity-based resource distribution, which are perceived as the most legitimate governance alternatives. Internal adaptations of administrative practices toward more flexible and adaptive solutions, however, are perceived less legitimate than stable governmental action
