In the public space of the theoretical renewed discourses, the geographic knowledge expands itself from the university world for the school world, with criticism as a key word of the teacher education. Thus, the objective of this paper is to discuss the challenges of teacher education, particularly the one of the teacher of Geography, based on the concepts of communicative competence and universal ethical principles, from the theory of communicative action of Jürgen Habermas. It started from our experience as a professor in Geography College, when questioning the reason for the low participation of undergraduates in establishing a dialogue or an argumentative discourse in the classroom. From the literature review, we identified the current predominant themes in geographic education on the education of teachers in Geography. It was observed the domain of the themes: researcher teacher and citizenship. An understanding of professional and human formal education is defended, associated to the action, around universal ethical principles of geographic base.

AbstractWith the present paper I would like to discuss a particular form of procession which we may term mocking parades, a collective ritual aimed at ridiculing cultic objects from competing religious communities. The cases presented here are contextualized within incidents of pagan/Christian violence in Alexandria between the 4th and 5th centuries, entailing in one case the destruction of the Serapeum and in another the pillaging of the Isis shrine at Menouthis on the outskirts of Alexandria. As the literary accounts on these events suggest, such collective forms of mockery played an important role in the context of mob violence in general and of violence against sacred objects in particular. However, while historiographical and hagiographical sources from the period suggest that pagan statues underwent systematic destruction and mutilation, we can infer from the archaeological evidence a vast range of uses and re-adaptation of pagan statuary in the urban space, assuming among other functions that of decorating public spaces. I would like to build on the thesis that the parading of sacred images played a prominent role in the discourse on the value of pagan statuary in the public space. On the one hand, the statues carried through the streets became themselves objects of mockery and violence, involving the population of the city in a collective ritual of exorcism. On the other hand, the images paraded in the mocking parades could also become a means through which the urban space could become subject to new interpretations. Entering in visual contact with the still visible vestiges of the pagan past, with the temples and the statuary of the city, the “image of the city” became affected itself by the images paraded through the streets, as though to remind the inhabitants that the still-visible elements of Alexandria’s pagan topography now stood as defeated witnesses to Christianity’s victory.

Resumen: Distintas intervenciones desde prácticas activistas y culturales en torno al VIH escenifican poéticas y políticas del resto corporal en las que se juegan, por un lado, una reorganización de los modos en que se dramatiza en umbral entre lo vivo y lo muerto en lo público –redefiniendo así el tejido mismo de lo que llamamos “comunidad”—; y por otro, indican los modos en que estos activismos impulsan una disputa sobre los “marcos de temporalización” desde los cuales lo viviente se vuelve reconocible políticamente y donde la noción de supervivencia adquiere una centralidad decisiva. Combinando materiales heterogéneos el artículo busca iluminar los modos en que los activismos y las culturas en torno al VIH configuran un terreno decisivo para pensar políticas de la supervivencia del presente. Palabras clave: VIH, ACT-UP, Supervivencia, Temporalidades, Biopolítica. Abstract: Different interventions from activist and cultural practices around HIV staged poetics and politics of the body remmant. They implie, on the one hand, a reorganitzation of the dramatization of the threshold between the living and the dead in the public space; and on the other, they indicate the ways in which these activisms mobilize a dispute over the “frames of temporalization” from which the living becomes politically recognizable and where the notion of survival acquires a decisive centrality. Combining heterogeneous materials, the article seeks to illuminate the ways in which activism and cultures on HIV constitute a decisive ground for thinking about the present policies of survival.

This paper focuses on the development of interdisciplinarityin the Master’s programs in Greek universities. For our analysis, we searched for tools from the Sociology of Organisations (Mayntz) and the Sociology of Science (Whitley). We argue that the University and its keyactors have adopted interdisciplinarity, firstly, as a means to increase institutional funding, and secondly, with care so as not to disturb theinternal institutional structure and the power relations between the key actors in the University. Indeed, on the one hand, universities, responding to the public calls for interdisciplinary programs, took advantage of the European support program for Greece in order to enrich their infrastructures. On the other hand, the new structures and functions (interdisciplinary Master’s programs) remain loose and weak. So the central role of the Department and laboratories remains intact. As a consequence, the internal relations of the institutional actors are protected. Thus, interdisciplinarity seems to be a low priority issue. However, it is interesting to consider that more than 10 years after theend of European funding, the majority of these programs remains active.

On 11 and 12 September 2018, the fourth symposium of the “Wissenschaftliche Vereinigung für das gesamte Regulierungsrecht” [“Scientific Association for the Entirety of Regulatory Law”] took place at the University of Regensburg. The topic was: “New challenges for the public good – consequences for competition law and regulation”. The basic idea of the conference concept was, on the one hand, to consider which new challenges for the public good exist in the classical network economies of the telecommunications, energy and railway regulations, and on the other hand, to focus on adjacent sectors – such as the media and communications industries – and finally go beyond the sectors considered so far. The conference was divided into the following thematic blocks: “basic papers”, “classic sectors in transition”, “new sectors in the internet age” and “new challenges beyond the sectors”. The fourth volume of the series contains the lectures given at the symposium.

I disse år er både i Danmark og internationalt fokus på, hvordan læreruddannelsen på den ene side kan blive mere forskningsbaseret og på den anden side forbindes tættere til praksis. Dette fokus bygger på en forestilling om, at forskningen yder et vigtigt bidrag til uddannelsen af kommende folkeskolelærere, men også at denne forskning skal være koblet stærkt til praksis, og at den skal kunne formidles til både skolens praksis og uddannelsen. Med andre ord ekspliciteres en bestemt forestilling om, hvad forskning er og skal. I artiklen udfordres denne grundlæggende forståelse af, hvad forskning i en læreruddannelseskontekst er og skal være, og der peges på et transformatorisk forskningsbegreb der skelner mellem teori, empiri og praksis. Gennem erfaringer fra forsknings- og skoleudviklingsarbejde i Universitetsskolen vises hvordan studerende, lærere og læreruddannere gennem refleksive og transformative processer mellem teori, empiri og praksis får en mere nuanceret forståelse for skolens og uddannelsens praksis. Nøgleord: læreruddannelse, praksissamarbejde, forskningsbasering, forskningsbegreb, teori–praksis “The University School” – a suggestion of a more didactically oriented concept of research AbstractIn Denmark as well as internationally, there is increasing focus on how teacher education can become on the one hand more research-based, and on the other, more closely linked to practice. This is based on the notion that research provides an important contribution to the education of future primary school teachers, while such research must be strongly linked to practice and at the same time communicable to the school, both in practice and for educational purposes. In other words, a certain idea of what research is, and which purpose it holds, is explicated. In this article, the basic understanding of the role and purpose of research in the context of teacher education is challenged, and a transformatory concept of research is outlined – one that distinguishes between theory, empirical data, and practice. Through experience from research and developmental work in the schools participating in “The University School”, students, teachers, and teacher educators are shown ways to develop a more nuanced understanding of school practices and education through reflexive and transformative processes between theory, empirical data and practice. Keywords: teacher education, practice collaboration, research-based, concept of research, theory–practice

As digital technologies develop, a new form of relations between the state and the public is developing as well. Additional opportunities for the expression of public interests and the establishment of values preferred by the society arise, new mechanisms of political mobilization develop, new forms of public organization and self-organization emerge, the social media gain more power, and local and general public narrative develop on a number of online platforms. With the digitization of the public space, the state is forced to change its communication strategies and improve the dialogue between the government and the society based on deliberative democracy principles. After analysing the architecture of public communication emerging in new conditions the paper concludes that Russia is making certain efforts to adapt for the new digitized reality. However, current state priorities are shifting towards e-government and the digital economy. On the one hand, it seems justified, as it allows to bring the public services to a completely new level, reduce corruption risks, and simplify state management of economic processes. On the other hand, the lack of due attention to the issues of openness of public administration and involvement of citizens in making public decisions results in accumulation of contradictions in the public area of public administration, as well as increasing mutual misunderstanding and distrust between the state bodies and the civil society, which may entail bursts of social discontent and protests.

Presentamos un estudio de caso evaluativo sobre una propuesta formativa en los Grados de Educación Infantil y Primaria de la Universidad de Cantabria (España) articulado sobre asuntos pedagógicos que los estudiantes deben seleccionar y confrontar reflexivamente. Esta propuesta formativa se sustenta en las posibilidades formativas de la escritura reflexiva, la exploración biográfica y la metodología de Photovoice. Los instrumentos de recogida de información son: los seminarios, los diarios de investigación y de prácticas y las fotografías tomadas por los alumnos. Llevamos a cabo un análisis de contenido que evidencia el potencial de la propuesta formativa para registrar aquellos asuntos que son relevantes en su desempeño docente, destacando su grado de heterogeneidad; promover el diálogo crítico y el conocimiento compartido a través de la negociación de significados y sentido de las imágenes realizadas; analizar y reorientar la acción y el pensamiento docente; situar en el espacio público asuntos que son relevantes en la práctica educativa. Concluimos reflexionando sobre la virtualidad de las imágenes pedagógicas tomadas por los propios estudiantes y la deliberación colaborativa para convertirse en palancas de formación docente. We present an evaluative case study on a training proposal in the Degrees of Teaching of the University of Cantabria (Spain) that is articulated on dilemmatic situations that the students must confront reflectively. This formative proposal is based on the formative possibilities of writing, biographical exploration and the methodology of Photovoice. The instruments for gathering information are: the seminars, the student diaries and the photographs taken by the students. We carry out a content analysis that demonstrates the potential of the training proposal to record those issues that are relevant to their teaching performance; promote critical dialogue and shared knowledge through the negotiation of meanings of the images made; analyze and reorient teaching action and thinking; place in the public space issues that are relevant in educational practice. In this way, images and collaborative reflection become powerful levers of teacher training.

Liberal Concept

A number of widely discussed court decisions on cases of insults against religious feelings in Russia, such as the relatively recent “Pokemon Go” case of blogger Ruslan Sokolovsky or the lawsuit filed against an Orthodox priest by Nikolai Ryabchevsky in Yekaterinburg for comparing Lenin with Hitler, make pertinent the question of why toleration becomes so difficult in matters concerning religion. In this paper, I revise the classical liberal concept of toleration (David Heyd, Peter Nicholson, and John Horton), arguing that it is challenged by contemporary philosophers, who see no room for applying this concept in the “domain of identities”. The most prominent case of “primordial” identity, that is, the notion of identity as a given, is the claim of devoted believers for recognition. Should we replace the principle of toleration by the principle of recognition since the latter better corresponds to identity claims? To address this question, in the first part of the article I describe the mechanism of tolerant attitude (Nicholson, Heyd) and in the second part, I analyze the debates about the possibility or impossibility of inner religious toleration (Avishai Margalit, Cary Nederman, and Maxim Khomyakov) and further compare toleration and recognition as normative principles. In the light of the debates I took part in the conference hosted by the University of Southern Denmark in October 2019 as part of the project “Religious Majority/Minority in Public Space in Russia and Northern Europe: Historical-Cultural Analysis”, I come to the conclusion that the principle of toleration is preferable to the principle of recognition because the “second-order” arguments for toleration in a secular state will be universally acceptable (pragmatic argument) and, therefore, the principle of toleration is more logical (analytical argument). Following Peter John’s thesis about minimal recognition embedded in toleration, it may also be concluded that we need a normatively charged idea of citizenship, which could provide us with universal “second-order” foundation.

The creation of a University Press is a prerequisite for raising the reputation of the Medical University - Plovdiv. With its significant scientific output and the large number of students, it will represent the face of the University in front of the scientific communities and will be an important element of the national and international interuniversity communication. By documenting the individual qualities of the teachers, knowledge is preserved and its development is assisted, thus meeting the public demands. Without a developed publishing activity, it is difficult to evolve the creative potential of teachers and students. The University Press, on the one hand, is a real participant in the learning process, as it facilitates students' access to books as well as novelties in science. On the other hand, it is also a natural center of university life.
