In his response to Arjo Klamer, Wolfgang Streeck and Adam Tooze, Francesco Boldizzoni continues his reflection on the public role of history, dwelling in particular on the uses and abuses of the past, history’s problematic relationship with the social sciences, and the concept of “historical agnosticism.” He concludes that the neutralization of history, and the construction of atemporal narratives, has gone hand in hand with the Atlanticization of politics.

European universities responded in different ways to the ‘refugee crisis’ of 2015. Some subscribed to the agenda of higher education (HE) as a universal human right, while others stressed different long-term benefits of offering access to it. Yet, the unprecedented sense of moral urgency that guided immediate declarations of support and subsequent actions has largely remained unaddressed. With the crisis becoming a new reality for many countries, HE has a role to play in the social inclusion of refugees, even in countries that were not attractive destinations for refugees in the past. In this article, we provide an overview of the reasons why HE institutions supported refugees, and present the results of an empirical study of Poland and Austria during the 2015–2016 academic year. We then evaluate those first responses utilizing parts of Ager and Strang’s framework of integration, and discuss issues of institutional readiness, capabilities and the public role of HE stemming from this comparison. Our findings suggest that reasons such as acknowledgement of basic rights, or utilizing social capital are insufficient to explain and understand strong integrative support measures. We propose that refugee support by HE institutions is both better understood and promoted through the language of hospitality.

El presente trabajo tiene como principal objetivo reflexionar sobre el papel de la escue­la en los ejercicios de reparación de afectaciones acaecidas en el marco del conflicto armado en Colombia. Para dicha tarea, resulta importante reconocer que hace aproximadamente tres décadas las Ciencias Sociales asisten al crecimiento exponencial de trabajos que sitúan la memoria como elemento sustancial en la comprensión del pasado y su incidencia en los discursos sociales, polí­ticos, culturales y normativos del presente, frente a los cuales la escuela no es indiferente, pues se encuentra en un lugar privilegiado para la producción y reproducción de discursos relacionados con los ejercicios de memoria. En este sentido, se acude metodológicamente al orden cualitativo de revisión bibliográfica, enfatizada en la localización y recuperación de información para construir reflexiones desde la óptica de la pedagogía de la memoria, que, más que conclusiones, se conciben como abrebocas ante la mirada multidisciplinar con la que es necesario asumir los retos del reco­nocimiento de las diversas formas de reparar en la escuela.Palabras clave: memoria social, conflicto armado, escuela, reparación. ABSTRACTSocial memory agency in the Colombian school as a reparation mechanism The aim of this article is to reflect on the role of the school in the exercises for making amends that have occurred in the context of the armed conflict in Colombia. For this task, it is important to recognize that approximately three decades ago Social Sciences attended the exponential growth of works that place the memory as a substantial element in the understanding of the past and its incidence in the social, political, cultural and normative discourses of the present, in which the school is not indifferent, because it is on a privileged place for the production and reproduction of discourses related to memory exer­cises. In this sense, a methodological approach is done tothe qualitative order of bibliographic review, emphasized in the location and retrieval of information, to build reflections from the perspective of the pedagogy of memory, which, more than conclusions, are conceived as an appetizer before the multidisciplinary view that is necessary to assume the challenges of the recognition of the diverse forms to make amend for the school.Keywords: social memory, armed conflict, school, to make amend for.

The Relationship

This edited volume examines how the growth of social media and ancillary computer systems is affecting the relationship between journalism and the pursuit of truth. Experts explore how news is perceived and identified, presented to the public, and how the public responds to news. They consider social media’s effect on the craft of journalism as well as the growing role of algorithms, big data, and automatic content production regimes. The volume’s aim is to confront these issues in a way that will be of enduring relevance; the discussions about contemporary journalism inform current students and help scholars in the future. Chapters reflect on questions such as what is different and what remains the same in journalism’s pursuit of truth now that social media has become such a prominent force in news gathering, dissemination, and reinterpretation? How has reader participation and responses changed? What are the implications for journalistic information gathering and truth claims? What is different now about the social roles of journalists and media institutions? How does interaction between journalists and social media affect democratic practices? The chapters offer a mix of empirical and critical work that reflects on journalism’s past, present, and future roles in our lives and in society. An interdisciplinary work, this volume brings together leading scholars in the fields of journalism and communication studies, philosophy, and the social sciences to explore how we should understand journalism’s changing landscape as it relates to fundamental questions about the role of truth and information in society.

The Human Condition

Theology has long engaged philosophy as a dialogue partner, but the social sciences raise a new set of issues as both theology and the social sciences reflect concretely on the human condition. The problematic relationship between theology and the social sciences is perhaps nowhere more evident than in the area of ecclesiology. Whenever ecclesiology turns from more idealistic ahistorical forms of discourse to deal with the actual context and constitution of historical communities, the role of the social sciences in providing insights into those contexts and constitutions becomes difficult to deny. This chapter seeks to map out some of the history of the engagement with the social sciences by ecclesiologists such as Clodovis Boff, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Edward Schillebeeckx, John Milbank, and Roger Haight, and the challenges that this engagement poses. Underlying this debate are profound theological issues concerning grace and nature.

The Archaeological Museums - Some Critical Points Archaeology's public identity is inextricably linked to museums and museum practice. The museum exhibitions constitute the main point of contact between archaeology and the public. In official scholarly and political discourse the social role of the museum is claimed to be that of the protection and conservation of prehistoric material and the presentation of knowledge about the past to the public. Furthermore, it is often maintained that the museum should provide a connection with history and a stability and thus impart to society a sense of its roots and its identity.

The One

One of the most obvious reasons why historians — both professional and academic — find it difficult to challenge hegemonic narratives is psychological. No one wants to be a pariah in their own society by running against the mainstream and finding themselves in an isolated position. But I think there’s a deeper level to why historians have found it so difficult (maybe unlike some of their colleagues in the social sciences) to provide narratives which challenge the one which dominates their society’s media, culture and academia. And that reason, I think, is that challenging historiographical mythology is not just about facts, it’s also about rethinking the role of the historian. It is about being able to update oneself on developments in historiography and even (which is perhaps more difficult I think for historians) in philosophy. This focuses the question on what is reality, what is fiction, what is myth, and what is a fact. I found that one of the most challenging tasks in dealing with the history of my own country, both for Jewish and Palestinian historians, was not just to provide a different narrative to the one that prevails, but also to be able to tie in the concrete discussion with a more epistemological understanding of what history is and how history is received by the public at large.

History Of

Forty years from the 23 November 1980, Irpinia-Basilicata earthquake date represents much more than a commemoration. It has been a fracture for the history of Italy. Important for many reasons, this earthquake has been a watershed for the studies and the public role of research. Historians have been solicited to work on the topic by scholars of the geological and seismological sciences: in the face of the repetition of disastrous seismic events in Italy, earthquakes remained ‘outside the history’. However, the real difficulty of socio-historical science is not neglecting seismic events and their consequences, but rather the reluctance to think of ‘earthquake’ as a specific interpretative context. This means to deal with the discipline ‘statute’ as well as the public commitment of scholars. In this way, the circle earthquake-history-memory requires broad interdisciplinarity, which offers insights to work on historical consciousness and cultural memory: important aspects to understand the past as well as to favour a seismic risk awareness.

Women have the same status as the man. There is no differences of status and human right between women and men. Both men and women have the same function in the social life. In the long history, women had the important role. With their achievement, Islam has given the large area to the women in doing good action and heroic. Islam has shown a good position for the women in social life. In the global area, the role of women and men had changed. Women tends to get the public role. The tendencies of women change is because of the opened opportunities for the women. This Phenomenon gives the opportunities to the women to express their  potential. But it will be  a problem if the women don’t understand the role of gender totally. So, counseling has to give the right understanding  in expressing their potential.
