The collection Hannah Arendt and Jacques Derrida: Writing between Politics, Poetics, and Philosophy addresses the convergence of insight in the works of two of the most influential intellectuals of the 20th century. Both Arendt and Derrida have played a decisive role in reorienting the concerns and methods of philosophy, political theory, and literary studies in recent decades, with implications that extend across the humanities. This volume is the first collection of readings on the relationship between the two thinkers from an interdisciplinary perspective that encompasses political and critical theory, aesthetics, literary theory, and philosophy. It presents a wealth of approaches for thinking about the pressing ethical and political questions that their work raises.Despite notable differences in style, approach, frame of reference, and disciplinary background Arendt and Derrida share a common attempt to challenge the predominant methods and questions of philosophy in order to develop a radically new approach to politics, language, and textual interpretation. Today, the reception of Arendt’s thought has moved beyond political theory and expanded into other areas, including literary studies, while Derrida’s writings are reverberating in a growing number of disciplines and outside the academy in activism, art, and human rights discourse. As they disrupt the borders of their respective fields, surprising resonances as well as productive dissonances, begin to emerge in their re-reading of the concepts of sovereignty and democracy, justice and judgment, inheritance, the relations of law to violence, language and the “mother tongue,” metaphor, poetry and poetic writing, and the peculiar realm of the in-between. Most profoundly, the current volume argues, Derrida and Arendt’s respective philosophical projects cross paths in their shared effort to write, rewrite and deconstruct the political.This collection of essays proposes that reading Arendt and Derrida side by side is not only justified, but urgently needed because both thinkers open philosophy to its other and to the worldly realm of living, with the ultimate aim of rethinking what we mean by politics, language, and writing. In turning toward aesthetics and the imaginary, Arendt and Derrida seek to further modes of thinking—“difference-thinking,” “non-tyrannical thinking”—that are political precicely because they are plural. Together, the essays collected in Hannah Arendt and Jacques Derrida: Writing between Politics, Poetics, and Philosophy demonstrate that their as-yet-unwritten dialogue yields decisive ways of theorizing our present moment of global crisis and transformation.Joining together internationally renowned scholars as well as emerging researchers from all over the globe, including Peg Birmingham, Robert Eaglestone, Matthias Flatscher, Jennifer Gaffney, Bonnie Honig, Jen Hui Bon Hoa, James Martel, Nassima Sahraoui, Jana Schmidt, and Magdalena Zolkos, this volume offers a wide-ranging discussion of the intersections of Arendt and Derrida’s work.

Seminar paper from the year 2013 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Pedagogy, Literature Studies, grade: 1,3, University of Kassel (Anglistik), course: Englische Fachdidaktik, language: English, abstract: Second language acquisition, in particular English, is nowadays more important than ever before. As a consequence, it is of great importance to improve second language education at school. In order to do this, learner factors as for instance age, motivation or aptitude have to be considered more closely. The present research paper considers the question if second language learning can be affected by age, particularly if there is a critical period that can affect the learning success in a negativeway. The common sense that children are the most successful language learners will be examined and compared to contrary opinions. In a last step, the results will be used to drawconclusions for second language instruction.

Jana ist auf der Suche nach Hilfe - für die Vergangenheitsbewältigung, für das Überwinden ihrer Sucht. Sie kommt zu einer christlichen Gemeinschaft, deren Leiter sie in ein neues Leben in Freiheit begleiten möchte. Voller Vertrauen lässt sie sich darauf ein. Doch bald gerät sie unter Druck und in eine wachsende Abhängigkeit. Sie verliert auf dem Weg in die vermeintliche Freiheit jegliche Selbstbestimmung und schließlich - ihre Würde und das an einem Ort an dem sie sicher sein sollte. Doch gleichzeitig ahnt sie, dass Gott größer sein muss als das, was Menschen aus ihm gemacht haben. Und sie kämpft für ihren Weg in die Freiheit.

Die Beratung von und in Organisationen ist ein Tätigkeitsfeld, dem eine hohe Bedeutung zukommt, das aber auch außerordentlich intransparent ist. Aufgaben, Anforderungen und Qualifizierungswege sind diffus und unklar. Der vorliegende Band widmet sich Fragestellungen, die im Kontext von Organisationsberatung bislang kaum bearbeitet wurden. Ausgangspunkt ist eine Erörterung der Anforderungen, die sich an Beratung und an die Berater stellen. Dabei werden die Erwartungen der Kunden ebenfalls thematisiert. In einem weiteren Schritt wird erörtert, wie die Beratungstätigkeit erlernt werden kann. Es erfolgt eine Darstellung von Lernwegen und Lernbiografien von Beratern. In mehreren Kapiteln werden Methoden und Konzepte zur Unterstützung von Lernprozessen bei der Beratungstätigkeit vorgestellt.
