Este trabajo es un preludio de nuestro proyecto de tesis doctoral en la que investigamos la recepción de Ursula Wölfel (1922–2014), autora alemana de literatura infantil y juvenil en una doble vertiente: diacrónicamente, a partir de 1963, a través de los medios de comunicación y la crítica literaria y, sincrónicamente, mediante un estudio de caso con estudiantes, como destinatarios primarios. El propósito de este artículo es recopilar la obra traducida, editada y publicada de Ursula Wölfel en España. Durante esta parte de la investigación hemos realizado búsquedas en las bases de datos de las bibliotecas nacionales alemana y española, en la de libros editados en España, el Catálogo Colectivo de Bibliotecas Públicas, así como en el catálogo de Red Automatizada de Bibliotecas de Castilla y León, siempre en línea. Procedimos a comparar la información disponible y unificarla. Durante el proceso nos percatamos de que no solo se han traducido libros de Ursula Wölfel en primera edición, sino que también hay reediciones, que han sido reilustradas, pero mantienen el texto original; e incluso existen retraducciones reilustradas. Ello nos lleva a reflexionar brevemente sobre el concepto de retraducción y sobre si esta es una oportunidad para mantener vivo el legado de Ursula Wölfel.

Reseña

Following the publication of their last work on the “didactics of Relation”, the authors offer additional insight from the book by Jean-Luc Nancy, Être singulier pluriel. The aim of this article is to clarify the term “plural” which characterizes the didactics of “pluri”lingualism by extending it to the ontological question of “being plural”. The language-culture didactics is thus invited to make its “Copernican revolution” by explicitly subscribing to social approaches based on collaboration and reticulated mediations.

The themes of flight and migration determine the public discourse more than ever before. Not only practical assistance is required, just as evident is the challenge for each individual in the personal interaction. Every encounter takes place in a cultural overlapping situation and is thus extraordinary. The new presence of the theme demands everyone’s cultural self-location and reflection on categories of strangeness and familiarity. Intercultural competence gains a new status and a special marketability in the whole range: own and foreign cultural knowledge, self-reflection ability, change of perspective, knowledge of foreign languages. This is accompanied by a change in perception and an appreciation of the preconditions of cultural hybrids. The article examines to which theoretical concepts of interculturality refer the measures of renowned, state-subsidized institutions. The used concept of culture plays a role here, questions of quality assurance and effectiveness as well as the adequacy of theory and methods for the target group. In order to cope with the complexity of super-diverse societies, an interdisciplinary research perspective is needed. Therefore, both sources of interculturalism and cultural studies as well as sociology and political science are included.

Neste texto, abordaremos aspectos relacionados às políticas de inclusão de pessoas com deficiência e seus desdobramentos no que tange à inserção deste indivíduo no mercado de trabalho. Para tanto, relataremos a experiência de uma graduanda cega, em seu estágio curricular obrigatório no curso de Licenciatura Plena da Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. Percebeu-se, que, mesmo com toda a política de inclusão já existente, a escola e os alunos, não estão preparados para receber um docente cego1. A inclusão envolve a adequação das escolas e da sociedade para receber essas pessoas, de modo a promover a cidadania, como pessoas possuidoras dos mesmos direitos, dentre eles o direito de estudar e trabalhar.

Discussion related to the potential for mystical union with God was largely absent from the writings of the Church Fathers prior to the late-second century. Toward the end of that century, however, the concept of communion with God emerged as a topic of interest in both early Christian and Gnostic literature. St. Irenaeus of Lyons was among the earliest Christian writers to critically reflect on the subject. He argued that participation with the divine was possible only in the “orthodox” churches and required three key elements: a life lived in connection to the Spirit of God, in community with the true people of God, while bearing evidence of godly piety and virtue. Whereas Gnostic conceptions of communion frequently included an emphasis on the reception of an exclusive, secret gnosis, Irenaeus’ paradigm offered a public, progressive path of ascent to God.

This paper considers the narratives in mobile phone commercials during a period of unprecedented market expansion. How was the fastest growing global sector in 2012 sold to consumers in different countries and cultures, and how have mobile brands, that differentiate themselves on service personality, conveyed their uniqueness within different global markets? The following research identifies regional characteristics in genres of mobile telecommunications advertising, including motivations and modes of address deployed for different geographic territories. By tracking narrative patterns through a significant sample of mobile commercials we have chartered the variety of message types, identified how brands have used localised customer insights and adjusted to regional variations. Conclusions highlight storytelling techniques used within glocal creative strategies of multinational campaigns, plus the nuances and patterns of targeted and generic campaigns.

Établir la distinction entre le vieux et le neuf et montrer comment on passe de l'un à l'autre sont des enjeux primordiaux dans la sociologie de la religion de Max Weber. Dans cet article, on montre comment Weber les a traités ainsi que ses difficultés à les affronter. Pour Weber, la transition du vieux vers le neuf exige une certaine "transformation de l'âme humaine", ou bien une rupture tranchée avec les types de mentalités tenues pour traditionnelles. On propose que cette conception l'a mené à considérer des ruptures inexistantes (par exemple entre les esprits luthériens et calvinistes) et à ne pas s'apercevoir de ruptures importantes (par exemple, entre la tolérance particulière à nos jours et celle d'époques précédentes). On conclut qu'il y a une analogie entre la sociologie webérienne de la religion et la physique aristotélicienne et que, à la lumière de cette analogie, on peut mieux comprendre ce que Weber veut signifier lorsqu'il affirme que des transitions historiquement significatives demandent une "transformation de l'âme humaine".

Esforços de grandes sínteses teóricas são raros no cenário biológico e se multiplicam facilmente no cenário sociológico. Ao mesmo tempo, enquanto no primeiro caso os esforços ganham status paradigmático, no segundo eles conduzem a uma 'balcanização' da disciplina. O artigo questiona as razões dessa diferença e procura a resposta reconstruindo um esforço de síntese teórica na biologia que já se estende por mais de duas décadas.Rarely are efforts made to arrive at major theoretical syntheses in the realm of biology, while they are so often successful within the realm of sociology. Furthermore, though these efforts gain paradigmatic status in the former case, in the latter they lead to a 'Balkanization' of the discipline. The article explores what might account for this difference, seeking an answer through the reconstruction of one such effort in biology, which has covered more than two decades.

The idea that scientific interference consists of the exercise of directing the modus tollens to given statements currently enjoys canonical status in the social sciences. This idea requires that statements about the world have a supply of empirical consequences that can be isolated and referred to as proper to them. However, according to Duhem-Quine?s holistic vision of knowledge, such a demand cannot be met. This article discusses the implications, for the social sciences, of the holistic critique towards the canonical model of scientific interference, given that two pillars of this area of knowledge, i.e., Suicide, by Émile Durkheim, and The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism, by Max Weber, are tributaries of said canonical model.

If we affirm that scientific knowledge advances, we are implying there is some degree of continuity between given experimental results and given solutions to conceptual problems. This raises two questions: how does such continuity come about, and under what circumstances does scientific progress depend upon experimental results and/or the solution of conceptual problems? In an effort to respond to these questions, the article examines how certain piecemeal conceptual schemes find their way into certain theoretical frameworks, prompting changes in these. Recent advances in the area of artificial intelligence applied to medicine serve as an empirical basis for the discussion.

In a habitat of mountains in North West China, with few roads and covered in forest and rock, mostly autodidact part-time ‘herb physicians’ gather medicinal plants. Around Mount Taibai, the highest spot in the Han-dominated Eastern half of present-day China, they claim geopolitical legitimacy of their materia medica. Due to its complex climate, the Taibai habitat supplied a complete set of Chinese medical drugs, the unofficial knowledge holders report, and they introduce additional unique local delicacies. Collectively, they enact the picking, cultivation, and storage of the medicinals, and they represent and export them as ‘Taibai materia medica’. Representation has caused changes of the gatherers’ status. One mode is botany-based official regulation of production and pharmaceutical trade. A second mode is cultural heritage preservation based on Daoist lineages.

This article is devoted to a theoretical review of the notion of collaborative learning. Higher education as well as schools in general experiment different learning situations that take an active approach claiming more or less collaborative learning. At the same time, the social web has developed through exchanges, sharing and collaboration. Collaborative learning thus seems to be back in fashion. We are seeking out different didactic and theoretical propositions, particularly those concerning collaborative learning in language teaching and in distance learning, to elaborate our reflection. We propose, finally, a definition for new digital learning devices centered on creative projects. This theoretical reflection should enable university pedagogy to take into account a collaborative learning approach explicitly assumed as a means for attaining a citizenship education.

The article examines several writings on the fallen of World War I in the book "L'Italia dal 1914 al 1918, pagine sulla guerra" (1950) by Italian philosopher and historian Benedetto Groce. It notes the author's personal perspective on the war, his compassion for the mothers of the fallen soldiers, and his writings honoring soldiers who died on the Front such as Otto Braun and Mario Tancredi Rossi. The book "La Première Guerre mondiale en France" by Jean-Noël Grandhomme is also mentioned.
