Ecological network concept is a growing core element of conservation strategies. Based on the need to integrate ecological processes which underlie spatial dynamics of biodiversity at a landscape scale, network planning is largely based on a single model that allows the identification of natural core areas and linkage corridors. In this context, a structural mapping approach is the most frequently used mean to discuss and identify conservation issues at stake and to prepare recommendations for action. In this paper, we analyze the process of ecological network construction at the scale of a Regional Natural Park in southern France. We show that by sticking to a classical and highly technical approach focused on mapping spatial organization, the group of actors involved was unable to produce a collective representation of the conservation stakes nor recommend a plan of action. Our study highlights the need to better integrate the ordinary biodiversity of the landscape matrix and consider that a mapping approach should focus on making the construction and functioning of a social interaction process possible.

Finding tools that stimulate creativity, empathy and self-confidence is one of the core challenges of the 21st century. Performative education being one of them, a need for developing convincing performative concepts arises (Jogschies, Schewe & Stöver-Blahak 2018). The improvisational role-playing technique edu-larp constitutes one such tool, combining the training of social and personal skills with the exploration of various themes. An adaptation of this format to institutional settings coined STARS (STudent Activating Role-playing gameS, Geneuss 2019) has been applied in several schools in Bavaria. To ascertain the students’ perspective on their perceived learning, data from 161 quantitative surveys were further augmented by feedback-talks. To gain insight into the teachers’ perspective on how the tool can be implemented in German lessons, which general skills can be trained and what challenges might arise when applied in formal education, we applied a qualitative design grounded upon 7 interviews. It emerges that applying edu-larp in classrooms is perceived as a meaningful tool to treat curricular topics. It also contributes to train social and personal skills, which in turn can lead to self-confident face-to-face interaction. Yet, multiple challenges keep educators from applying the technique.

Em observância à hermenêutica do constitucionalismo moderno, o presente artigo tem por fulcro realizar apontamentos acerca da natureza do Estado Social e de sua legitimidade para intervir na economia mediante políticas públicas, particularmente através do Poder Judiciário. Face a existência de opiniões díspares na sociedade brasileira acerca do tema, especialmente no que diz respeito às repercussões econômicas da atividade interventiva, proceder-se-á à uma breve revisitação dos marcos teóricos que fundam a capacidade interventiva do Estado Social, as políticas públicas e sua relação com o ordenamento jurídico brasileiro. Nesse particular, utilizando-se de pesquisa documental, o artigo analisa a atuação do Poder Judiciário no controle políticas públicas.

Within the Max Planck Society numerous projects are now concerned with questioning »age« from variant perspectives. As a part of this »network on aging« a group of scholars in Frankfurt is examining relations between law and age in history. Even natural sciences have no definite answer to the question how and why men grow old. Thus disciplines in science and in historical and social research have realized that there is no aging in laboratory: Aging is a matter of social context – resulting in the question: »Why do we grow old?«. Legal historians can blend in well with their questions like: »What is it that makes us old?« We are inclined to believe that law and political framework have a great part in deciding who is old and who is young in society. Legal historians lookout for age limits, age groups and the legal design of timespans in life. Social aging is not linear but comes in steps, age limits and age-specific norms are dramatic turning points. The Frankfurt research group thus focuses on legal aging since the end of the 18th century up until today.
