Abstract Is ›Bildung‹ Fragile? Rather Not … The article is presenting a couple of rather skeptical viewpoints on the utility and adequacy of the notion of ›fragility‹ for educational theory, and especially the topic of ›Bildung‹. Processes of ›Bildung‹, it is argued, may be uncertain, fleeting, hard to begin and to maintain, but not fragile. In four chapters, the author focuses on aspects of understanding ›Bildung‹ mainly as a process of searching, and a most often dialectical venture to which many persons neither have access nor the willingness to engage with in their adolescence and early adulthood.

The World

Abstract Education for Wholeness, War and Peace ›Wholeness‹ is a topic in educational theory since the Baroque age. In 19th century political concepts of ›wholeness‹ came into being. The article asks what happened to educational theories that were bound to concepts like ›volk‹, ›race‹, ›nation‹ or ›the world‹. Those theories appeared before, during and after World War I. The topics were ›war‹ and ›peace‹ and the rhetorics of wholeness were used on both sides. Because of that, educational theory should abandon the suggestive language of wholeness.

Este artigo procura abordar a reduzida reflexão sobre os indicadores sociais provinda da ciência geográfica. Este ambiente, na opinião do autor tem colaborado decisivamente para consolidar a observação dos indicadores como mera estatística referida ao social. Para auxiliar na constituição de uma atmosfera mais fecunda de reflexão este artigo propõe o aproveitamento de algumas importantes contribuições provindas da sociologia do conhecimento, sobre a racionalidade (e seu espaço), assim como a investigação das possibilidades da observação dos indicadores sociais como um objeto técnico. Abstract This article aims to approach the reduced reflection about social indicators poceeding from Geography.

To assist the constitution of a more productive atmosphere of reflection, this article proposes utilizing some important contributions from sociology of knowledge, about rationality (and its space), as well the investigation about possibilities of social indicators observation as a technical object.

Middle East Region

In this chapter, the authors endeavor to build a sociology of knowledge of studies conducted on humanitarianism and war-induced displacement in the Middle East region, considering the cases of Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, and Turkey in particular. A comparative analysis suggests that similarities and differences across the literature are not always motivated by specific forms of state governmentality. In this framework, postcolonial history seems to provide partial explanations. As a result, the displacement and humanitarianism literature need to transcend the state paradigm and focus on a larger variety of social and political factors. While most scholars have examined the work of the United Nations and of international institutions in the region, the authors highlight the need to learn from multilingual literature, especially that produced in the Global South, and from a deeper investigation of the principles and modalities of crisis management developed by actors from the Global South.
