Analysing Feminist Foreign Policy : Towards the Next Agenda
No full textOver the past two decades an exciting and enriching theoretical and empirical debate has emerged on feminist foreign policy (FFP). However, we contend that the first wave of the debate falls short in terms of explaining the causal mechanisms that might explain why FFP rises, endures and in some cases is abandoned. In an attempt to redress this and move the debate forwards in terms of agenda, we propose bringing FFP into conversation with foreign policy analysis in relation to three key issues. Firstly, we argue that FFP scholarship should adopt an explicit conception of the state, which we contend it currently does not do. Secondly, there is value added in opening up the ‘black box’ of the state and systematically exploring the effects that both domestic political and leader-focused factors could exert on the pursuit or rejection of FFPs. Thirdly, scholarship could shift in its emphasis from the articulation to the implementation of FFPs. The next agenda of scholarship on FFP could thus contribute to a greater understanding of the drivers of decision-making, conflict and cooperation in international relations, in an era in which gender has become a flashpoint for contestation between international actors
Nachhaltigkeitsbewusstsein, nachhaltiges Konsumverhalten und Lebensqualität : die Sicht junger Menschen zwischen 14 und 25 Jahren
No full textDie Autorin untersucht das Nachhaltigkeitsbewusstsein und die Bereitschaft zum nachhaltigen Konsum bei Jugendlichen und jungen Erwachsenen in der Region Ingolstadt auf Basis eines Handlungsmodells. Dabei wird ein Zusammenhang zwischen dem Nachhaltigkeitsbewusstsein und der Selbstwirksamkeitserwartung sowie einem nachhaltigeren Lebensstil und der Lebenszufriedenheit hergestellt.
Eine quantitative Studie im Sommer 2021 mit 454 Teilnehmenden (darunter 195 Jugendliche und junge Erwachsene aus der Region Ingolstadt) zeigte, dass das Nachhaltigkeitsbewusstsein hoch ist, jedoch nicht immer zu entsprechendem Verhalten führt. Dies entspricht den Erkenntnissen aus anderen Studien. Besonders auffällig ist der Unterschied in der Identifikation mit Fridays for Future (FFF). Personen, die über eine Mitgliedschaft nachdenken, haben oft eine andere Sichtweise als Mitglieder oder Personen, die FFF lediglich kennen. Dies hebt die Bedeutung des Engagements hervor. Ferner wird ein Bedarf an Unterstützung für eine nachhaltigere Lebensweise durch Wirtschaft und Politik festgestellt.
Die Ergebnisse zeigen eine Diskrepanz zwischen Einstellungen und Verhalten, wobei die Stärkung der Selbstwirksamkeitserwartung eine Schlüsselrolle spielt. Ein nachhaltigerer Lebensstil steht nicht im Widerspruch zu höherer Lebensqualität, doch steigen die Ansprüche an diesen Lebensstil mit dem eigenen Engagement.
Die Autorin schlägt vor, dass Nachhaltigkeitskommunikation und Bildungsangebote im Sinne einer Bildung für nachhaltige Entwicklung motivierend sein sollten, zum kritischen Denken sowie zur Teilnahme am Diskurs anregen und Engagementsmöglichkeiten aufzeigen sollten. Gleichzeitig ist eine kritische Reflexion des Engagements wichtig. Die Arbeit trägt zur Forschung über das Nachhaltigkeitsbewusstsein der jungen Gene-ration bei und verdeutlicht, dass Unterstützung von Politik und Wirtschaft sowie Bildung entscheidend sind, um die Ziele der Agenda 2030 zu erreichen
“Telephone Angels” Against Loneliness : Experimental Evaluation of the Effectiveness of Telephone Partnerships with Older Adults
No full textLoneliness affects many older adults.As part of the ”Telephone Angel” project, telephone partnerships between volunteers and older adults affected by loneliness were designed to counteract experiencing loneliness. Volunteers (100 ≤ N ≤ 114) and older adults who are (22 ≤ N ≤ 45) and who are not (25 ≤ N ≤ 71) part of the project were surveyed twice. Concerning loneliness, telephone partnerships increased the sense of community (d = .38). Older adults' life satisfaction increased (d = .46) as well. Stigmatization increased between the survey periods for those inside and outside the project (.21 ≤ d ≤ .35)
Zielsicher zu Verständnis : kulturelle Reflexion im Fremdsprachenunterricht
No full textDer Beitrag dreht sich Rund um die Frage, wie Lehrkräfte Verständnis für verschiedene kulturelle Perspektiven im Fremdsprachenunterricht schaffen können. Die Grundlage der Überlegungen ist hierbei, dass kulturelle Reflexion die Basis für interkulturelles Verständnis ist. Nach der theoretischen und wissenschaftlichen Einordnung dieser Überlegungen, wird ein strukturierter Reflexionsansatz, der die eigene sowie fremde kulturelle Perspektive einbezieht, als aussichtsreiche Vorgehensweise vorgestellt

Teaching religion in postmodern society : some insights from the German “Carousel of Concepts” for the renewal of Catholic religious education in Poland
No full textPoland, still considered by some to be a bastion of Catholicism in Europe, is becoming more secularised every year, and its society resembles the postmodern societies of Western Europe. The changes in religiousness, which affect especially the younger Poles, are so strong that they call into question the validity of the current form of religious education, i.e. school catechesis, which is proving incapable of fulfilling its tasks, e.g. in the function of Christian initiation. Given the above context, the present article has a threefold purpose: The first step is to present the social and educational challenges of school catechesis in Polish schools. Based on these premises, the second step will outline the main similarities and differences in religious education between Poland and Germany, and then the German 'Carousel of Concepts' (H. Mendl) of the 1960s, which contributed to the emergence of a possible optimal model of religious education for a postmodern society. In the third and final step, ideas for the future will be formulated for the renewal of religious education in Poland, making it possible to characterise it in a guiding way as a dialogical-educational concept
Redefining Voice : Exploring Gender and Musical Fusion in the Work of Nuri Harun Ateş
No full textNuri Harun Ateş is a versatile Turkish singer who fluidly crosses genres, including Western classical music, pop, and nostalgic tunes, singing in multiple languages such as Turkish, French, Italian, English, and Kurdish. Trained as a classical countertenor, Ateş skillfully navigates his vocal range, seamlessly transitioning between his high range and chest register to suit the song and genre. This fluidity is central to his artistic identity, not only in his voice but also in his genre-blending approach—such as fusing Habanera from Bizet’s Carmen with the Turkish classic Bağdat Yolu to create a unique oriental-pop fusion. His fluid artistry is equally reflected in his public persona, where his eclectic style choices—clothing, accessories, and hairstyle—challenge conventional boundaries. Amid Turkey’s traditional social climate, Ateş, a self-identified queer artist, uses styling choices often associated with femininity to encourage his audience to question established gender norms. His lyrics, which explore universal themes of love and relationships, subtly express his sexuality in lines like “I said I wear what I want / I say what I want / You can’t command the heart, that’s just how it is” and “Can somebody please tell me, what is this normal?”
Inspired by post-structuralist and queer theories, including Butler’s ideas on gender performativity and Doty’s “queer moments,”, this paper presents the early stages of an exploratory and descriptive study examining the complex intersections between music, gender, and language through the lens of Ateş’s voice and artistry. Using a case study approach, the research combines media analysis, music analysis, interviews, and live performance observations. These data are being analyzed through grounded theory principles, allowing themes related to music, gender, language and identity to emerge organically. The study aims to provide actionable recommendations for formal, non-formal, and informal music education contexts. This paper will discuss the relevance, methodology, and core research questions while presenting preliminary findings
