The Welfare State

Abstract This article shows clearly the experiences of the author concerning the social restart of Germany after 1945. The ZEE was and is a place for reflection and reorientation. Personal encounters with personalities of the »first hour« constitute the opening. This is followed by five central situations which were witnessed and devised by the author. They had a direct effect on the ZEE. 1. The participation in the senior staff of Willy Brandt had an effect on the contemplation of an »ethos of inner reforms«. 2. The reform process in South Africa with its »peaceful revolution« brought the author there, having intense working relations to the leaders of the »black majority«. These experiences found their way into the ZEE. 3. As chairman of the chamber for social order of the EKD (Evangelical Church in Germany) the author worked nearly 20 years intensively on memoranda concerning the reorientation of the welfare state in many dimensions. The ZEE was a central place of scientific debate. 4. and 5. As head of the Diakoniewissenschaftliches Institut (I. for Christian social work) of the University of Heidelberg basic questions of deaconry theologically and at the same time world wide aspects were at the centre of interest also at the ZEE

Shakespeare is well known to have set two of his plays in and around Venice: The Merchant of Venice (1596) and The Tragedy of Othello, the Moor of Venice (1603). The first is often remembered for its famous speech about “the quality of mercy,” delivered by the female lead Portia in the disguise of a legal scholar from the university town of Padua. The speech helps to spare the life of her new husband’s friend and financial backer against the claims of the Jewish moneylender Shylock. The play has raised questions for Shakespearean scholars about the choice of Venice as an open city where merchants of all nations and faiths would meet on the Rialto while the city’s Senate, composed of leading merchants, worked hard to keep it open to all and especially profitable for its merchants. Those who would like to learn more about the city’s development as a center of trade can learn much from Richard Mackenney’s new book.

AbstractThe history of Physical Education reports us that the physical exercises have emerged and have been perfected in accordance with the social order, evolving in direct relation with it. During this paper we will define the phenomenon of Physical education and sport as a discipline of academic education, starting from the general notions to the particular ones in the general physical training of the student actor. In this paper we try to highlight some similarities between the preparation of the actor and the preparation of the athlete for professional performance. We will present the theoretical framework with well-defined and accepted notions in both sports and theater. We will subsequently present the particular framework in which the theoretical principles in the sports field are taken over by the university theater programme and put into practice for the general preparation of the future actor. The article closes with the selection of some basic conclusions and recommendations appropriate to the topic under discussion

The article is devoted to the preparation of bachelors in high school as subjects of future business activities. We considered the place of small business in the digital ecosystem. We revealed the essential content of modelling the activities of the entrepreneur, the fundamental principles. It has been revealed that the effectiveness of preparing students closely depends on socio-cultural, psychological, pedagogic and socio-economic factors. The role of the competency approach in providing high quality training for future entrepreneurs in accordance with the social order of the information society is defined. A model of training bachelors in the creative educational medium of the university is proposed, and technological support for the educational process is described. The structure of professional competency of bachelors as subjects of future entrepreneurial activity and its major components are established. The levels of professional competency formation of students are revealed. The organisational andpedagogic conditions of training in university digital educational medium for future entrepreneurs of the information society are substantiated.

The reform of New Zealand's university system: 'after neoliberalism'

This article explores the legacy of three decades of neoliberal reforms on New Zealand's university system. By tracing the different government policies during this period, it seeks to contribute to wider debates about the trajectory of contemporary universities in an age of globalisation. Since Lyotard's influential report on The Postmodern Condition (1994), critics have frequently claimed that commercialisation and managerialism have undermined and supplanted the social mission of the university as governments throughout the developed world have sought to transform the university 'from an ideological arm of the state into a bureaucratically organised and relatively autonomous consumer-oriented corporation' (Readings 1996: 457). Against this I argue that the new model of the entrepreneurial and corporate university has not so much replaced the traditional functions and meaning of the university as added a new layer of complexity to the university's already diverse and multifaceted roles in society. Drawing on an ethnography of one university and personal observations, I explore the effects of that reform process on the culture and character of the university and, more specifically, its impact on academic identities and the everyday practices of academics and students. As in other OECD countries, New Zealand's universities are now required to deliver a bewildering plethora of government priorities and strategic economic and social objectives whilst simultaneously carrying out their traditional roles in teaching, research and scholarship. The challenge for the modern university, as reflected in the case of New Zealand, is how to negotiate these diverse and often contradictory missions.

Regius Professor

During a visit to Palestine in 1853, A P. Stanley, then canon of Canterbury, sent missives to friends as he went along, describing his reactions to the Holy Land. Goldwin Smith, a fellow at University College Oxford, enthused, ‘You have nothing to do but to piece together your letters, cut off their heads and tails, and the book is done.’ Sinai and Palestine (1856) became his most popular work. When the Prince of Wales decided to visit Palestine in 1862 he asked the canon to accompany him: Stanley had been Regius Professor of Ecclesiastical History at the University of Oxford in the late 1850s, and he was the nephew of a peer. Although his position in the social order excelled that of many other Eastern travellers at mid-century, Stanley serves well to evoke the kind of encounters between religiously-minded Britons and the Holy Land which were experienced in the era before modern tourism.

As we enter the second decade of the 21st century, art that aims to actively challenge the social order continues to spark controversy and encounter resistance. In one recent instance, the University of California at San Diego threatened to revoke the tenure of Ricardo Dominguez, a professor of visual art, who developed what he calls “transborder immigrant tools”—recycled cell phones loaded with GPS software that point border-crossers to caches of fresh water in the desert. Dominquez has called the phones, which feature an audio application that plays inspirational poetry to migrants, a “mobile Statue of Liberty.”

Resumen: En las últimas décadas la ciudadanía se ha convertido en uno de los grandes temas de la filosofía de derecho, la sociología, las ciencias políticas y generalmente del interés público. En una nueva era de migraciones mundializadas y en tiempos de crisis econó- mico mundial, acentuado en países como España, se levantan las voces que piden un cierre de las fronteras para proteger las sociedades occidentales. Las migraciones no solamente parecen representar una amenaza para el estado de bienestar y la cohesión social, sino también para la identidad nacional, la cultura y forma de vida de las sociedades occidentales. En este contexto el autor de este artículo se plantea varias preguntas: ¿Existe una tendencia en la política europea hacia una nueva asimilación cultural? ¿Cuál es el poder homogeneizador que tiene el Estado-nación en un sentido cultural? ¿Cuál es el papel que tiene la ciudadanía en estos procesos? A base de un análisis de un estudio sobre los procesos de aculturación de dos colectivos de inmigrantes, realizado por un grupo de investigación de la Universidad de Almería, el autor intenta encontrar respuestas a estas preguntas. Abstract: Over the last decades citizenship has become one of the most important topics of philosophy of law, sociology, political science and the public interest in general. In times of globalized migrations and world-wide economic crises, most notably in countries like Spain, more and more people demand a closing of the borders to protect western societies. Migration not only seems to represent a threat for the welfare state and social cohesion, but also for the national identity, the culture and way of life of the western societies. In this context the author considers a number of questions. Does there exist a tendency towards a new cultural assimilation in Europe? What kind of power does the nation-state have in the context of cultural homogenization? What´s the role played by citizenship during this process? On the basis of an investigation about the acculturation process of two immigrant groups, realized by a research group of the University of Almeria, the author tries to answer these questions.
