Philosophie der Enheit : die staatsphilosophischen Grundlagen von Platons 'Nomoi' und ihre Aktualität
No full textMehr-als-Menschliche Welten|Räume : Wege zu einem mehr-als-menschlichen Zugang zu Raum und Welt
No full textAm Beginn des 3. Jahrtausends erleben wir Verwerfungen, die nicht lediglich bekannte Krisen dramatisieren. Sie sind außerdem eine disruptive Erschütterung des modernen In-der-Welt-Seins. Für die politische Bildung stellt sich damit die Frage, wie wir uns in einer Welt ohne Fundamente orientieren können. Die Abwesenheit eines Orientierungsrahmens zeigt sich dabei paradoxerweise in der Anwesenheit und dem Drängen unterschiedlichster Dinge, Praxen, Technologien, in Klimaereignissen, invasiven Arten usw. Es verdichtet sich ein verschobenes materiales Sinngefüge in neuen Welten | Räumen. Raum oder Welt können nicht mehr als idealisierter Hintergrund, als Bühne angenommen werden. Müssen politische Bildungsprozesse zukünftig materialer gedacht werden
Doing Family unterstützen in einer Zeit der Polykrisen : wie können gesellschaftliche Ereignisse zügig in das Familienbildungsangebot integriert werden?
No full textDer Beitrag konzentriert sich darauf, inwiefern die anerkannte Familienbildung
durch sich ändernde gesellschaftliche Verhältnisse und den damit einhergehenden Veränderungen von Familienleben und Familienalltagen herausgefordert ist. Darauf adäquat und zielgerichtet zu reagieren, ist eine der Aufgaben der Familienbildung und erfordert innovative Ansätze und neue Ideen für die alltägliche Praxis in den Angeboten und Einrichtungen der Familienbildung. Es eröffnen sich Fragen hinsichtlich der Erreichbarkeit von Familien bei gleichzeitiger Reflexion der bestehenden Angebote und Strukturen.
Der Artikelöffnet einen doppelten Blick auf familienunterstützende Leistungen und Angebote, zum einen aus der Perspektive von Müttern aus Migrationsfamilien und zum anderen aus der Perspektive von Leitungen anerkannter Familienbildungseinrichtungen unterschiedlicher Träger aus Nordrhein-Westfalen. Der Autor gibt dafür Einblick in zwei von ihm durchgeführte Studien

Music and Cognitive Flexibility: a case of limited transfer?
No full textIntroduction
When asked to switch between several tasks people usually exhibit switch costs in performance in that they get slower and performance more error-prone. These switch costs are taken as index of cognitive flexibility and smaller switch costs reflect better flexibility. Experts in one domain (i.e., music) are often suspected to transfer their skills to non-expertise domains. This holds true also for musicians which are often required to change tempi or clefs while performing. We asked if skills that are acquired by music training can also improve performance in tasks in non-musical domains. Therefore, this paper deals with the question of whether music training is associated with improved cognitive flexibility. Existing evidence concerning the potential influences of music training on cognitive flexibility in adults shows mixed results for transfer to non-musical tasks (e.g., Gade & Schlemmer, 2021).
Aims
In order to further investigate the transfer of cognitive flexibility associated with music training, we designed an experiment in which participants solved both a music-related task (reading of musical notes) and a non-musical task (comparing numbers). We hypothesized that music training should influence the performance in the music-related switching task, but not in the non-musical switching task.
Method
The music-related task was modeled after Slama et al. (2017). Participants were presented with a visual cue (either a violin or a bass clef) on the computer screen for 250 ms. After a cue-target interval, the target stimulus and two accompanying stimuli were presented. The task of the participants was to indicate the position of the matching stimulus by pressing a key on the computer keyboard. For example, when the cue was a violin clef and the target was the letter “A”, participants had to decide which of the two tones is an A in violin clef. In the non-musical task, participants had to indicate which number was smaller or larger than the presented one, based on the cue. All participants filled in the Gold MSI to assess musical training (Müllensiefen et al., 2014). Participants were sampled with the demand that they have a minimum of five years of music training. Data was collected from 62 participants. Reaction time data were submitted to a linear mixed effects model with transition (task switch vs. repetition) and task (musical vs. non-musical) as fixed factors and Gold-MSI score as a continuous variable.
Results
Mean score in the Gold-MSI training scale was 36.04 (SD=7.04). The model revealed switch costs which were not affected by task type or by the Gold-MSI score.
Discussion
Our results revealed that in our musically educated sample, switch costs were similar in a music-related and in a non-musical task. These results suggest a general improvement in cognitive flexibility which is not only visible in expertise-related tasks. Caveats should be investigated, such as the comparability of the tasks alongside the level of music training, which was remarkably high in our sample. Currently a non-musical sample is collected in the number comparison task, which will allow a comparison between participants with and without music training.

‘Kanak for life’: The question of cultural appropriation in music education and performance in the context of Turkish-German bilingualism
No full textMusic education might be a useful tool to support bilingual language acquisition and learning environments (e.g. Liu & Kager, 2017; Lozada, 2023; Neumann et al., 2024), with Turkish-German bilingualism in Germany serving as one illustrative case (Inceel, 2018; 2023a; 2023b). In practice, however, the question arises as to whether a truly cultural exchange in multilingual music environments is possible under conditions of asymmetrical power relations (e.g. Bates, 2022; Josties & Gerards, 2019). This paper therefore explores whether Turkish-German bilingualism in music education and performance in Germany can be understood as a form of cultural appropriation and if so, how. To address this, various educational and performance-based examples, as well as hypothetical scenarios, will be examined using Rogers’ (2006) framework on cultural appropriation and Beveridge’s (2022) adaptation of this framework to the field of music education. Finally, the paper considers where the boundaries of cultural appropriation lie and which factors should be taken into account for it to be sustainably embedded in education settings.

No full textThe Populist Threat to Public Service Media (PSM) : Experiences, Responses and Impact of Populist Attacks on PSM Representatives
No full textPublic service media (PSM) across Europe must contend with delegitimising media criticism that is often characterised by the use of populist rhetoric. This delegitimising media criticism, referred to here as populist attacks, can originate from both political actors and segments of the public. However, little is known about how PSM respond to populist attacks. Using 26 semi-structured interviews with German PSM representatives, this study examines how they perceive and respond to populist attacks, as well as the effects of these attacks on PSM. The results indicate that populist media criticism of PSM follows four distinct lines of argumentation. As the accusations are in part PSM-specific, we propose the concept of anti-PSM populism. Anti-PSM populism has become commonplace for PSM and leads to various effects, which are systematised on different levels: individual, content and organisational. Overall, populist attacks do not lead to long-term self-censorship but do result in temporary self-censorship on social media. The results are discussed in the context of the media freedom discourse, and a matrix is introduced to help determine whether certain adaptations constitute self-censorship
