    Creative Disobedience: Dorothee Sölle\u27s Political Theology and Ethics for U.S. Christian Contexts

    No full text
    This dissertation adapts Dorothee Sölle’s concept of creative disobedience to account for those histories of obedience to structures of domination and to foster moral agency that disrupts and dismantles structures of domination. The first two chapters contextualize and summarize Dorothee Sölle’s critique of obedience and her warning against the way in which the obedient social character yields a “Christofascist” society. Chapter II considers the extent to which Christofascism already exists in US society today through Andrew L. Whitehead and Samuel L. Perry’s study of the political and cultural prevalence of Christian nationalism. Chapter III contextualizes Dorothee Sölle’s theoretical critique of obedience through Erich Fromm’s concept of social character, Pierre Bourdieu’s concept of habitus and Elisabeth Schüssler Fiorenza’s concept of kyriocentrism. In Chapter III, the author shows how histories and structures forming US white-Christian social character--white supremacy, coloniality and kyriarchy--require white-Christian obedience to the same Christian nationalist structures of power, boundaries and order. Chapter IV summarizes Sölle’s feminist theology which argues that creative disobedience is necessary for Christian moral agency. Finally, Chapter V adapts Sölle’s creative disobedience as an ethical process for progressive white-Christians in the US today. This chapter explains how moral agency defined by creative disobedience would foster habits and practices that lead to effective participation in political transformation, rather than reinforcing relationships and structures of domination

    Deixis: Textdeixis

    German language is characterized by a frequent use of deictic expressions. Those expressions are used in different types of communicative settings. They also include the text, which may be conceptualized on the one hand as a space and on the other hand as a chronological arrangement of actions. Textdeictic devices belong to the strategies of reader orientation. They are usually embedded in comments of the author on textual organization and include different types of deictic (or paradeictic) expressions, such as demonstrative pronouns and adverbs.Die deutsche Sprache zeichnet sich durch einen reichen Strukturausbau in Hinblick auf den Bestand an deiktischen und deiktisch abgeleiteten Ausdrucksmitteln aus (Ehlich z.B. 2007c, Redder 2010a). Ausdrücke wie dieser, hier und jetzt gehören zum Kernbestand dieses deiktischen Inventars. Sie können auf unterschiedliche Verweisräume Bezug nehmen: Wahrnehmungsraum, Vorstellungsraum, Wissensraum, Diskursraum, Rederaum, Textraum (Redder 2000, Ehlich 1976). Auf den Textraum können sich ebenfalls Ausdrücke beziehen, die nicht im engeren Sinne als Verweisausdrücke gelten, im Textzusammenhang aber deiktisch funktionalisiert werden können (wie etwa zuvor oder eingangs). Auch Partizipien (wie anschließend) oder Nominalgruppen (wie zum Abschluss, im Folgenden) werden textdeiktisch verwendet ebenso wie zusammengesetzte, deiktisch abgeleitete Ausdrücke (wie danach, hiermit, sodann), die auch in Kombination mit Präpositionalphrasen vorkommen (im Anschluss daran) und zum Teil eine konnektive Funktion ausüben (Redder 2010b). Der Beitrag enthält neben einer Bestandsaufnahme der Behandlung textdeiktischer Phänomene in Übungsgrammatiken Anaysen zu ausgewählten Beispielen - auch in Hinblick auf den Einsatz in der Didaktik

    (Mis-)Understanding Education Externalities

    No full text
    This article critically evaluates the current state of research on education externalities. It occurs that much of the confusion regarding their magnitude results from conceptual misunderstandings pertaining to their nature. The essay distinguishes the concepts education, teaching, and knowledge. Whereas pure teaching yields externalities on the primary and secondary level, only the generation of knowledge may produce the spillovers which are typically linked to the tertiary level. The accumulation of education itself does not have such an effect. Education is argued to be a private good with well defined property rights. Individuals may exploit those and provide the production sector with the efficient amount of human capital. Following this rationale, it is demonstrated that empirical studies, contrasting estimations of private and social returns to education, are unsuitable to substantiate the existence of externalities. As a consequence, subsidies to tertiary programs are called into question.Public education finance; Education expenditures; Human capital externalities; Property rights; Endogenous economic growth; Private return; Social return; Public goods
