Der Hamas-Terror gegen Jüdinnen und Juden geht mit systematischen Vergewaltigungen und Folter von Frauen einher - wird aber von vielen Feministinnen und Aktivisten wie ”Queers for Palestine” verharmlost. Soziologin Stögner erklärt die Ideologie hinter linker Solidarisierung mit einer "misogynen Mörderbande”.

Nel linguaggio delle discipline storico-religiose odierne, il referente «esoterismo» riveste vari significati. In primo luogo esso rimanda, secondo una tradizionale accezione tipologica, a un fenomeno religioso universale, basato sulla trasmissione di una «conoscenza riservata» accompagnata da pratiche del segreto e dell’iniziazione. In secondo luogo, con tale termine ci si riferisce a un fenomeno storico specifico: un insieme di correnti di pensiero emerse nella cultura europea rinascimentale, poi globalizzatesi nel corso dei processi di modernizzazione, che si lasciano percepire come un campo culturale o discorsivo omogeneo. Questo campo si è costituito nel tempo attraverso influenze e trasmissioni riconoscibili (e tramite riferimenti a forme sapienziali antiche, come l’ermetismo, la Cabala e le cosiddette «scienze occulte») ed ha spesso subito dinamiche di marginalizzazione da parte delle istituzioni dominanti. È questa seconda accezione che – dagli anni ’90 in poi – si è andata progressivamente аffermando nei contesti accademici internazionali. Il nostro articolo si sviluppa in tre fasi: presenta la storia degli studi sull’esoterismo, con un focus particolare sui modelli teorici emersi negli ultimi trent’anni; traccia una breve mappatura diacronica dell’esoterismo occidentale, indicando i grandi temi e correnti che tale campo consente di abbracciare; infine, valuta il potenziale di questo filone scientifico per le scienze religiose attuali, prendendo in esame due ambiti principali: la storia del cristianesimo – nel campo esoterico, tipicamente, si esprimono e aggregano forme di «alterità» interne ed esterne al cristianesimo istituzionale – e le trasformazioni della spiritualità nelle società occidentali contemporanee.

Higher education is an important component of a society in which qualified people that a country needs are educated, know-how is generated and facilities and services are provided for the society. Higher education has gone through a transformation period in which there have been radical and permanent changes. The globalization has a great role for this transformation. The globalization has triggered the regional cooperation and given rise to various alterations mainly in economy as well as education and especially in higher education. Universities which provide higher education have to keep up with these alterations nationally and internationally in the field of education, social life, economy, politics and technology. Universities should begin the alterations in themselves, and should manage this transformation by estimating future, and by taking decisions about future and taking some measures today.

By the end of 2022, scholars had published heavily on authoritarian consolidation at the time of COVID-19 and explored how governments adopted measures weakening democratic checks and balances yet strengthened their regimes during the COVID crisis. Yet, we do not know much about how political leaders narrated the pandemic in their domestic and foreign policy choices in a way that reinforces their power. By focusing on the major autocratisers in Europe (Hungary, Poland, Turkey, and Serbia) whose democracy scores have fallen the most over the last 10 years, we reveal a set of influential narratives identified in the discourses of state leaders and government representatives which were constructed around the governance of the COVID-19 pandemic. These narratives were utilized by political leaders to legitimize their repressive policies geared towards controlling the society, and to contest the European Union (EU) in particular and the liberal democratic order in general.

The charrette is a participatory design tool for urban planners in which community members and experts deliberate over 4–7 days in design feedback loops, culminating in an actionable design plan. This in-depth proactive collaboration is in stark contrast to the typical public participation process, in which public hearings are often overrun by unrepresentative neighborhood opposition. Aiming towards a consensus between planners and residents, the charrette could be understood as a deliberative democratic forum that should result in greater community satisfaction with both the process and final design. However, while the charrette has had substantial use in the field it has not been the subject of much research that could back up this view. To test how democratic the charrette is, I conduct a content analysis comparing the public hearing comments regarding a charrette and non-charrette development proposal on the same property with similar designs. The proposals’ matching characteristics isolate the effect of the charrette. Results show the charrette proposal saw a greater proportion of approving comments than the non-charrette proposal, especially when comparing speakers who did and did not participate in the charrette. Most comments for both proposals were still in opposition, however, even as the charrette proposal garnered high approval at the charrette itself. This calls into question the quality of the charrette’s deliberation as well as the relationship between the charrette and the public hearing.
