    Was bedeutet Gesundheitsförderung in der Institution Schule? Welche gesellschaftlichen Diskurse über Gesundheit kommen dabei zum Tragen? Simone Suter zeigt, wie unterschiedlich Lehrpersonen den Auftrag, Gesundheit zu fördern, deuten und umsetzen. Die Interventionen im Namen der Gesundheitsförderung reichen von Disziplinierung und Paternalismus über die Ermächtigung der Heranwachsenden bis zum Versuch struktureller Veränderungen. Die soziologische Studie deckt die Paradoxien des Gesundheitsbegriffs auf und macht die Ambivalenzen der Norm einer gesundheitsorientierten Lebensführung sichtbar. Trägt die Schule zur Etablierung eines Zwangs zum Gesundsein bei?</jats:p

    By Sophia Millman This is a condensed version of a Masters thesis dedicated to the political mobilization of Simone de Beauvoir’s readers.

    A comparative study of form and theology in the works of Flannery O'Connor and Simone Weil

    In this comparative study of the form and theology of Flannery O'Connor and Simone Weil I interrogate how Weil's philosophical writings and her theology illuminate O'Connor's use of both narrative and non-fictional forms, and her Catholicism. The Introduction analyses how Weil's concept of superposed reading provides a new method of approaching both O'Connor, her writings, and O'Connor studies, and focuses on how such apparently different women interconnect. Chapter One explores how both Weil and O'Connor attempt to write their theologies on the souls of their readers yet are each subject to constraints imposed by form. Weil's concept of locating equilibrium between incommensurates is discussed, and her distinctively philosophical approach to fictions and fictionality is used to investigate O'Connor's notion of prophetic fictions and the writer's role. Chapter Two assesses how both writers revivify Christian paradoxes. Weil's monstrous concept of affiiction, and O'Connor's use of the grotesque genre to jolt secular man into an awareness of the sacred are scrutinised. Chapter Three studies how both writers consider an encounter between God and man is possible through the action of grace. My Conclusion interrogates how Weil's work can deepen our understanding of O'Connor's writings, and examines how successful O'Connor is at realising a truly Christian literature. I conclude that despite being a writer of powerful fictions, O'Connor can not be totally successful in her mission as writer-prophet because ultimately fiction escapes orthodoxy
