From the power of listening in times of emotional slogans. A plea for adult education as an instrument for peace
Full text linkIn Anbetracht der Kriege in Gaza oder der Ukraine sind die Menschen mit einer nicht bewältigbaren Wucht an Nachrichten über Kriege, Krisen, Konflikte und Klagen sowie Lügen über dieselben konfrontiert. Dadurch entsteht ein Ohnmachtsgefühl, sie werden passiv und fühlen sich einsam. Die Menschen entfernen sich zunehmend voneinander. Emotionen fungieren häufig als Richtlinien für das eigene Tun und tragen dazu bei, den vermeintlich "Anderen" jegliche Menschlichkeit und ihr Recht auf Leben abzusprechen. Die Autorin stellt fest: Es mangelt am Zuhören, an Reflexion der eigenen Meinung, an Respekt vor anderen Sichtweisen und am Miteinander-Reden, was Voraussetzung für Frieden ist. Frieden lässt sich nicht verordnen, sondern bedarf einer gemeinsamen Erarbeitung und kollektiver Verantwortung. Die Erwachsenenbildung kann zur Friedensbildung beitragen, indem sie nicht nur Begegnung ermöglicht, sondern auch den Mut zu einem Gesprächsklima fördert, in welchem die Menschen laut und leise denken und Fehler machen dürfen. DAs konstruktive Streiten trägt dazu bei, andere Sichtweisen zuzulassen, gemeinsam nachzudenken und Haltungen zu entwickeln. (DIPF/Orig.)In view of the wars in Gaza and Ukraine, people are being confronted with the unmanageable full brunt of news on wars, crises, conflicts and complaints as well as lies about them. This gives rise to a feeling of powerlessness that leaves them passive and isolated. People are increasingly distancing themselves from each other. Emotions frequently serve as guidelines for one\u27s own actions and contribute to denying the supposedly "other" of their entire humanity and right to live. The author observes: There is a lack of listening, of reflecting on one\u27s own opinion, of respecting other points of view and of talking with other people, which is the prerequisite for peace. Peace cannot be prescribed but requires joint development and collective responsibility. Adult education can contribute to Peace education not only by facilitating encounters but also by encouraging a conversation-promoting environment in which people can think aloud or to themselves and are able to make mistakes. Constructive argument helps to permit other points of view, think together and develop stances. (DIPF/Orig.
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
