The Case of Disappearing Tibia in Rheumatoid Knee Tenosynovitis
Authors: Antoci Valentin , Barrett Caitlin , Glasser Jillian , Barrett Thomas , Garcia Dioscaris
Published: July 2022

Introduction: Knee pain and osteoarthritis are frequent patient complaints, with a rapidly increasing prevalence. By comparison, the prevalence of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is significantly lower at around 1%. Inflammatory arthropathies, like RA, are difficult to differentiate from infection, crystal arthropathies, or malignancy. In addition, radiography and roentgenograms are often inconclusive or non-specific, making it much more difficult to evaluate, diagnose, and manage this condition. The current case is unique due to its location in the knee joint, rather than more common presentations in the upper extremities, and use of MRI imaging for diagnosis of RA with tenosynovitis. Case Report:In a Caucasian 70-year-old female with sudden debilitating knee pain and a large atraumatic defect over tibial plateau, MRI showed a large fluid collection within the left gracilis muscle. Gram stain and culture of the aspirate remained negative. The only significant history involved a possible diagnosis of RA. Conclusion: While rheumatoid tenosynovitis is common in the upper extremities, lower extremity features have not been well reported before. We diagnosed the patient with progressive RA and rheumatoid tenosynovitis. This unique presentation and rare usage of MRI imaging may be contributing to an underreporting of this diagnosis in the lower extremities. Keywords: Rheumatoid arthritis, knee, adult reconstruction, total joint arthroplasty.
The role of ‘non-knowledge’ in crisis policymaking: a proposal and agenda for future research
Authors: Hannah Adam , Tchilingirian Jordan , Botterill Linda , Attwell Katie
Published: July 2022

Background:

Recent complex and cross-boundary policy problems, such as climate change, pandemics, and financial crises, have recentred debates about state capacity, democratic discontent and the ‘crisis of expertise’. These problems are contested and open to redefinition, misunderstanding, spin, and deception, challenging the ability of policymakers to locate, discriminate, comprehend, and respond to competing sources of knowledge and expertise. We argue that ‘non-knowledge’ is an under-explored aspect of responses to major policy crises.

Key points:

While discussed in recent work in sociology and other social sciences, non-knowledge has been given less explicit attention in policy studies, and is not fully captured by orthodox understandings of knowledge and evidence use. We outline three main forms of non-knowledge that challenge public agencies: amnesia, ignorance and misinformation. In each case, ‘non-knowledge’ is not simply the absence of policy-relevant knowledge. Amnesia refers to what is forgotten, reinvented or ‘unlearned’, while claims of ignorance involve obscuring or casting aside of relevant knowledge that could (or even should) be available. To be misinformed is to actively believe false or misleading information. In each instance, non-knowledge may have strategic value for policy actors or aid the pursuit of self-interest.

Conclusions and implications:

We demonstrate the relevance of non-knowledge through a brief case study, emerging from the inquiry into the COVID-19 hotel quarantine programme in the Australian state of Victoria. We argue that both amnesia and ‘practical’ forms of ignorance contributed to failures during the early part of the programme.
‘Something to just be ticked off on a care plan’: organisational professionalism and procedure-based decision-making in practice with children who go on to be adopted
Authors: Geddes Emma
Published: July 2022

Over the last decade, at a time when funding for services intended to support families has been dramatically curtailed, successive governments in England and Wales have sought to increase the numbers of children being adopted from care. In light of the central role that children’s social workers play in progressing plans for adoption, this research seeks to investigate 15 practitioners’ experiences of operating within the current context. Evidence of significant tensions in social workers’ accounts of planning for adoption and post-adoption contact under austerity is presented, and Evetts’ distinction between organisational and occupational professionalism is drawn upon to understand the influence of the wider political context on decisions made by practitioners in working with children who go on to be adopted.
Cultural transformation of university social work curricula: Black Lives Matter and the Spanish colonial past
Authors: Montenegro Marisela , Pujol Joan
Published: July 2022

The Spanish colonial past permeates the institutions of higher education, configuring the contents and forms of disciplinary knowledge production that constitute it, as is the case of social work. In this article, we visit different scenarios where colonial memories are disputed in the context of the commemorations of 12 October (also called ‘Hispanic Day’ or ‘Race Day’) in Barcelona. Although multiple articulations of anti-racist movements, such as those related to Black Lives Matter, question the material and semiotics that sustain structural racism, colonial cultural layers are still predominant in the Spanish state. Analysis shows how colonial logics nest in social work practice by: first, contributing to the definition of subject positions – such as ‘migrant’ – as problematic and needy of integration policies and intervention; and, second, making structural racism invisible through the avoidance of radical analysis and action regarding the cultural layers that sustain and perpetuate institutional racism.
Helping helpers? The role of monetary transfers in combining unpaid care and paid work
Authors: Raiber Klara , Verbakel Ellen , Visser Mark
Published: July 2022

Applying fixed-effects models using Waves 2 to 13 (2007–19) of the German Labour Market and Social Security panel study, we examine how unpaid caring changes labour supply and if monthly monetary transfers from the care recipient to the carer motivate a reduction in labour supply. We find that for both women and men, starting high-intensity caring increased the likelihood of becoming non-employed. Women were already likely to reduce working hours when starting non-intensive caring, whereas only intensive caring reduced working hours for men. Receiving low monetary transfers was a higher motivation to become non-employed for men, and receiving low monetary transfers only reduced working hours for women.
Theorising practice: independent trade unions in the UK
Authors: Weghmann Vera
Published: July 2022

This Theory into Practice piece uses theoretical underpinnings of Ness as well as Cleaver and Sivanandan to explore the role of two independent trade unions that emerged in the UK in the mid 2010s, namely the Independent Workers of Great Britain (IWGB) in 2012 and the United Voices of the World (UVW) in 2014. Despite being of relatively small size (each has a membership of under 10,000) and with few financial resources, they have been praised for their ground-breaking and ‘significant high-profile wins’ in ‘David and Goliath’ battles. In this article I discuss why low paid, largely migrant workers have organised within these independent unions; and the extent to which they have applied syndicalist tactics and strategies. The analysis is rooted in my practice, as someone who was involved in the IWGB from the start and then co-founded the UVW in 2014.
Employee resilience: a labour process perspective
Authors: Murphy Caroline , MacMahon Juliet
Published: July 2022

The concept of employee resilience continues to receive burgeoning academic attention within the fields of organisational psychology and human resource management, while practitioner interest has intensified since the pandemic. So far, however, resilience remains underexamined from a labour process perspective. Taking a labour process theory lens, this article explores the potential silencing effect of resilience in the workplace. We argue that the universalist narrative of resilience, one which embodies neoliberalism and individualism, has implications for how work is governed and for worker resistance. We conclude with a discussion of the need to counter such forms of hegemonic control arising from the contemporary rhetoric of resilience.
The Global Political Economy of the imperial mode of living
Authors: Brand Ulrich
Published: July 2022

Despite the high politicisation of the ecological crisis, political strategies to deal with it fail to tackle the root cause of the crisis but intend to ecologically modernise capitalism. This is an entry point for critical (Global) Political Economy. First, to understand the hegemonic character of ecologically destructive social relations, GPE should focus not only on political and economic structures, but also on their anchoring in people’s everyday lives. Second, critical scholarship should examine the global political economy of social-ecological transformations in capitalist centres which go hand in hand with a deepening of neo-colonial resource extractivism in countries of the global South, even in its ‘green’ version. The concept of an imperial mode of living aims to make sense of the hegemonic character of unsustainability rooted in everyday practices. Moreover, it connects the everyday life of people in the global North to overarching social and international structures and thus reveals the global socio-ecological preconditions of the prevailing patterns of production and consumption as well as the mechanisms that render their destructive effects invisible to those who benefit from them. Some contours of a ‘solidary mode of living’ and some preliminary conclusions for future research in critical GPE are drawn.
Advancing arguments on technology, work and the body, in the global political economy
Authors: Moore Phoebe V. , Roy Chandrima
Published: July 2022

Developing a better understanding of transformations and configurations in global affairs requires researchers in Global Political Economy to take seriously the emergence of forms of technology and their integration into the institutional, social, economic and political fabrics of contemporary life. However, research in key Global Political Economy journals has not been entirely forthcoming in acknowledging and recognising this, over time. Where we see publications that look at areas of technology and the global political economy, what has been consistently missing in Global Political Economy research, however, is the discussion of the direct impact of technology on workers, working conditions, the employment relationship, and social protections, and, as an arguably direct result of digitalisation, new threats for the corporeal and for sustainability of materiality. This debates and commentary piece for the first issue of the Global Political Economy journal argues that the burgeoning literature in these areas can be carried forward by scholars in the field of Global Political Economy.
Critical junctures and state actors: towards a micro-strategies approach of the global political economy
Authors: Rademacher Inga
Published: July 2022

Scholarship in International Political Economy (IPE) has traditionally explored the systematic nature of global economies and, due to its founding moment in the 1970s, placed a particular emphasis on global capital movements. Famously, Susan Strange, one of the founders of the discipline, examined the new troubles around currency and monetary systems and called for a deliberate linking of the political and the economic, as well as the domestic and the international. Even though this call could not be timelier in the 21st century, already ridden with crises – contemporary mainstream IPE scholarship has shied away from examining complex relations of the domestic and the global, focusing instead on rational interests of voters, sectors and factors of production. The state, while relevant as an entity that aggregates these interests, is not included as an independent agent. This commentary argues that there is already important scholarship which places ‘the state’ at the centre of a complex global economy. But we need to delve deeper. In order to understand what ‘states do’, we also need to understand what ‘what state actors do’ and assess them as fundamentally purposive and independent agents. To make sense of the nexus of the economic and the political, the global and the domestic, we need to understand the interests, relationships and conflicts of individual state actors in the global political economy.

Recent moiré configurations provide a new platform for tunable and sensitive photonic responses, as their enhanced light–matter interactions originate from the relative displacement or rotation angle in a stacking bilayer or multilayer periodic array. However, previous findings are mostly focused on atomically thin condensed matter, with limitations on the fabrication of multilayer structures and the control of rotation angles. Structured microwave moiré configurations are still difficult to realize. Here, we design a novel moiré structure, which presents unprecedented capability in the manipulation of light–matter interactions. Based on the effective medium theory and

-parameter retrieval process, the rotation matrix is introduced into the dispersion relation to analyze the underlying physical mechanism, where the permittivity tensor transforms from a diagonal matrix to a fully populated one, whereas the permeability tensor evolves from a unit matrix to a diagonal one and finally becomes fully filled, so that the electromagnetic responses change drastically as a result of stacking and rotation. Besides, the experiment and simulation results reveal hybridization of eigenmodes, drastic manipulation of surface states, and magic angle properties by controlling the mutual rotation angles between two isolated layers. Here, not only a more precisely controllable bilayer hyperbolic metasurface is introduced to moiré physics, the findings also open up a new avenue to realize flat bands at arbitrary frequencies, which shows great potential in active engineering of surface waves and designing multifunctional plasmonic devices.

Published: July 2022

Sub-Saharan Africa faces a heavy burden of stroke due to the growth of its risk factors. We aimed to estimate the prevalence of stroke risk factors and identify the factors associated with metabolic risk factors in the district of Titirou, in Parakou (northern Benin) in 2016. A cross-sectional study was conducted. It included people aged at least 15 years, living in Titirou for at least 6 months, and who had given their written consent to participate in the study. A door-to-door survey was performed from 15 march to 15 July 2016 in each neighborhood until the pre-determined number was reached. Sociodemographic data, medical histories, anthropometric and blood pressure measures were recorded using the WHO STEPS approach. The prevalence of stroke risk factors was calculated, and a multivariable logistic regression was done to identify the factors associated with metabolic risk factors for stroke. A total of 4671 participants were included with a mean age of 27.7±12.9 years and a sex ratio of 0.98. Concerning the behavioral risk factors for stroke, 17.2% were alcohol consumers, 3.5% were smokers, 21.5% had low fruit and vegetable intake, and 51.1% had low physical activity practice. The prevalence of metabolic risk factors for stroke was respectively of 8.7% for obesity, 7.1% for high blood pressure, 1.7% for self-reported diabetes, and 2.2% for dyslipidemia. Age (p<0.001), sex (p<0.001), marital status (p<0.001) and professional occupation (p = 0.010) were associated with obesity. Age was also associated with high blood pressure (p<0.001) and diabetes (p<0.001). Dyslipidemia varied according to smoking (p = 0.033) and low physical activity practice (p = 0.003). The study revealed a significant prevalence of some stroke risk factors. Targeted local interventions for primary prevention of stroke should be promoted in this community.

Adiponectin, an adipokine, regulates glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity through the adiponectin receptor (AdipoR). In this study, we searched for metabolites that activate the adiponectin signaling pathway from tomato (Solanum lycopersicu). Metabolites of mature tomato were separated into 55 fractions by liquid chromatography, and then each fraction was examined using the phosphorylation assay of AMP-protein kinase (AMPK) in C2C12 myotubes and in AdipoR-knockdown cells by small interfering RNA (siRNA). Several fractions showed AMPK phosphorylation in C2C12 myotubes and siRNA-mediated abrogation of the effect. Non-targeted metabolite analysis revealed the presence of 721 diverse metabolites in tomato. By integrating the activity of fractions on AMPK phosphorylation and the 721 metabolites based on their retention times of liquid chromatography, we performed a comprehensive screen for metabolites that possess adiponectin-like activity. As the screening suggested that the active fractions contained four carotenoids, we further analyzed β-carotene and lycopene, the major carotenoids of food. They induced AMPK phosphorylation via the AdipoR, Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase kinase and Ca2+ influx, in addition to activating glucose uptake via AdipoR in C2C12 myotubes. All these events were characteristic adiponectin actions. These results indicated that the food-derived carotenoids, β-carotene and lycopene, activate the adiponectin signaling pathway, including AMPK phosphorylation.
Graphical analysis of guideline adherence to detect systemwide anomalies in HIV diagnostic testing
Authors: Hauser Ronald George , Bhargava Ankur , Brandt Cynthia A. , Chartier Maggie , Maier Marissa M.
Published: July 2022

Background

Analyses of electronic medical databases often compare clinical practice to guideline recommendations. These analyses have a limited ability to simultaneously evaluate many interconnected medical decisions. We aimed to overcome this limitation with an alternative method and apply it to the diagnostic workup of HIV, where misuse can contribute to HIV transmission, delay care, and incur unnecessary costs.

Methods

We used graph theory to assess patterns of HIV diagnostic testing in a national healthcare system. We modeled the HIV diagnostic testing guidelines as a directed graph. Each node in the graph represented a test, and the edges pointed from one test to the next in chronological order. We then graphed each patient’s HIV testing. This set of patient-level graphs was aggregated into a single graph. Finally, we compared the two graphs, the first representing the recommended approach to HIV diagnostic testing and the second representing the observed patterns of HIV testing, to assess for clinical practice deviations.

Results

The HIV diagnostic testing of 1.643 million patients provided 8.790 million HIV diagnostic test results for analysis. Significant deviations from recommended practice were found including the use of HIV resistance tests (n = 3,007) and HIV nucleic acid tests (n = 16,567) instead of the recommended HIV screen.

Conclusions

We developed a method that modeled a complex medical scenario as a directed graph. When applied to HIV diagnostic testing, we identified deviations in clinical practice from guideline recommendations. The model enabled the identification of intervention targets and prompted systemwide policy changes to enhance HIV detection.
Construction of a competency evaluation index system for front-line nurses during the outbreak of major infectious diseases: A Delphi study
Authors: Bai Xue , Gan Xiuni , Yang Ruiqi , Zhang Chuanlai , Luo Xiaoqin , Luo Chengqin , Chen Senlin
Published: July 2022

Introduction

As the frequency of infectious diseases rises, it’s more important than ever to pay attention to the competency level of front-line nurses as the primary force in front-line rescue, which has an impact on the quality of anti-epidemic response. This paper aims to construct the competency evaluation index system for front-line nurses during the outbreak of major infectious diseases.

Materials and methods

This study combined literature review, critical incident technique interviews, and semi-structured in-depth interviews, as well as two rounds of Delphi expert correspondence, to construct a competence evaluation index system for front-line nurses during the outbreak of major infectious diseases. The study used purposive sampling to select 26 experts from 11 provinces and cities across China to conduct two rounds of Delphi expert consultation, and the indicators were selected based on the mean importance score > 3.5 and the coefficient of variation < 0.25, and the weights of the indicators were calculated by the Analytic Hierarchy Process. The effective recovery rates of the two rounds of correspondence questionnaires were 93.1% and 96%.

Results

The effective recovery rates of the two rounds of correspondence questionnaires were 93.1% and 96%, the authority coefficients of experts were 0.96 and 0.98, the Kendall’s coordination coefficients of the first, second, and third level indexes were 0.281, 0.132, and 0.285 (P < 0.001), 0.259, 0.158, and 0.415 (P < 0.001). The final index system includes 4 primary indicators (Knowledge System of Infectious Diseases, Nursing Skills for Infectious Diseases, Related Professional Abilities for Infectious Diseases, and Comprehensive Quality), 10 secondary indicators, and 64 tertiary indicators.

Conclusion

The competency evaluation index system of front-line nurses during the outbreak of major infectious diseases is scientific, reasonable, and practical, which can provide a scientific basis for nursing managers to accurately understand, describe, analyze, and evaluate the competence level of nursing staff and scientifically implement the allocation of human resources in the future, as well as serve as a content framework for subsequent training programs.
Portugal in UNESCO: From leaving in 1972 to returning as a member in 1974
Authors: dos Santos Raquel Valente
Published: July 2022

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) was established in November 1946. Portugal was formally admitted to UNESCO on 1 March 1965. Since its entry as a Member State, the Portuguese government has been confronted with successive resolutions of the General Assembly and the Executive Council of UNESCO, which strongly condemned its colonial policy. The establishment of diplomatic relations with the organization would only be possible after the democratization of the Portuguese regime and the effective resolution of the colonial issue. Once all necessary procedures have been adopted, Portugal returned to UNESCO in September 1974.

Globalizáció, internacionalizáció, lokalizáció: Daly itt túl konzervatív = Globalization, internationalization, and localization – Daly’s view is too conservative
Authors: Takács-Sánta András
Published: July 2022

Herman Daly az internacionalizációt, vagyis a nemzetállamok világméretű együttműködését ajánlja a globalizáció alternatívájaként. Jómagam amellett érvelek, hogy ehelyett sokkal inkább a lokalizációt és a szubszidiaritást kellene szembe állítanunk a globalizációval. A nemzetállami szinten összpontosuló hatalom ugyanis általában komoly gátja az ökológiai fenntarthatóságnak, mivel jellemzően azzal ellentétes célok előmozdítására használják. A megoldás felé a hatalom szétosztása vezetne.

Nos últimos anos a indústria de alimentos vive uma mudança de paradigma em relação ao novo perfil de consumidores, os quais estão cada vez mais informados e críticos. Por isso, entender as escolhas e preferências dos consumidores passa a ser um diferencial competitivo entre as empresas. Além disso, as características sensoriais dos produtos são fatores fundamentais que decidem a compra e a recompra dos alimentos e bebidas, tornando desta forma a análise sensorial uma das ferramentas mais utilizadas no segmento alimentício. Em virtude disso, o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o perfil dos consumidores, a preferência e a aceitação sensorial, de diferentes marcas de bebidas lácteas sabor morango. Para tanto, foram coletadas em supermercados diferentes marcas de bebidas lácteas sabor morango (marca A, B, C e D), as quais foram submetidas ao teste de preferência e aceitação sensorial. Participaram da análise sensorial 36 consumidores, destes 56% na faixa etária de 18 a 20 anos e 86% estudando em curso superior. Os participantes da pesquisa afirmaram que leem as informações contidas nos rótulos das embalagens (53%) e que observam a validade do produto (94%). Em relação a análise sensorial, foi possível verificar que a bebida láctea (marca D) apresentou maior preferência para todos os atributos avaliados, bem como maior aceitação sensorial, mostrando a relação positiva entre estes dois testes sensoriais.

Zwischen Präsenz und Repräsentation
Authors: Zierholz Steffen
Published: July 2022

Der vorliegende Beitrag geht der virulenten Frage nach dem ,Jesuitischen' der jesuitischen Kunst nach. Der Fokus liegt dabei nicht, wie bislang, auf einem künstlerischen Stil, sondern auf der Ebene der Wahrnehmung. Im Zuge der spirituellen Konsolidierung des Ordens bildete sich ab 1580 ein Kanon der ordenseigenen, oftmals druckgrafisch illustrierten Literatur heraus, der den Jesuiten zur täglichen Lektüre und Selbst-Exerzitium diente. Dieser Kanon erlaubt eine idealtypische Rekonstruktion jesuitischer Sehweisen, die sowohl die Art und Weise der Wahrnehmung als auch die durch den Akt der Wahrnehmung erzeugte Bedeutung umfasst. Die durch die Erbauungsliteratur verinnerlichten Gebetspraktiken bilden, so die These, einen jesuitischen Sehstil aus, in dem die Wahrnehmung mentaler und materieller Bilder zwischen Präsenz und Repräsentation changierte.
What good is archaeology?
Authors: Kelly Robert L.
Published: July 2022

The CRC project is entitled "Culture-Environment Interaction and Human Mobility in the Late Quaternary." It uses ethnographic and ethnological data, as well as agent-based modeling, to devise a model, a First African Frontier model, that accounts for how modern humans migrated out of Africa into Europe and, in fact, to the rest of the world. I take a slightly different approach to the conference's issue of scale, asking what the scale of archaeological data is, how it differs from that of ethnography, and, given the difference, what archaeology can contribute. In sum, archaeological data are aggregated data, especially for the time period in question where assemblages result from possibly thousands of years, and thousands of human actions. I argue that at this scale the "strong signal" is primarily telling us about human response to ecological and demographic conditions, and that human behavioral ecology provides a useful learning strategy to know when these material factors are not relevant. I then use terminal Pleistocene New World colonization as an example of a colonization process, including evidence for the scale of social relations at this time.
Mikea, Malagasy, or hunter-gatherers?
Authors: Tucker Bram
Published: July 2022

Are ethnic units also cultural and sociopolitical units? Barth (1969a) argued that they are not. However, some recent cultural evolutionary studies argue that ethnicity may function to facilitate within-group cooperation and between-group competition, referred to as parochial altruism (Choi and Bowles 2007; García and van den Bergh 2011; Handley and Mathew 2020; Jones 2018). Ethnographers have historically treated ethnicity and culture as equivalent with assertions that X people have particular beliefs, habits, customs, etc. In this paper I explore the ramifications of scale in ethnographic description and generalization, with a focus on my research participants in southwestern Madagascar, whom I usually label with the ethnonyms Mikea, Masikoro, and Vezo, or with the anthropological categories of hunter-gatherers, farmers, and fishermen. These are people who refer to themselves by these same ethnonyms or hyphenated combinations of terms (Masikoro-Mikea, Vezo-Mikea), or as Malagasy, a term referring to all peoples of Madagascar, or by village or clan affiliations. By contrasting evidence from my research (Tucker et al. 2021) with a study by Handley and Mathew (2020) about East African herders, I argue that the appropriate scale for ethnographic description may depend on patterns of similarity and difference in shared cultural traits and social networks, and these may be related to, or independent of, historically constituted ethnonyms. Careful thought is required to avoid scalar errors of over-particularization and exoticism (which I call Type 1 scalar errors) and over-generalization and stereotyping (Type 2 scalar errors). Because "ethnicity" is not just one "thing," ethnicity is not always the proper scale for ethnographic description.

Thomas Etzemüller stellt dar, wie die Imagination nationaler Landschaften, der Wiederaufbau von Burgen, Bauernhöfen oder Dichterhäusern und die touristische Erschließung spezifische nationale Räume schufen - und wie die Verwirklichung dieser »idealen Orte der Gesellschaft« moderne Landschaften zu einer politischen Kraft macht.
Wiederherstellbare Ehre
Authors: Zeilinger Florian
Published: July 2022

Ist der Ruf erst ruiniert ... lässt er sich auch wiederherstellen? Die soziale Reintegration von Delinquenten in der frühneuzeitlichen Gesellschaft des Heiligen Römischen Reichs deutscher Nation war durchaus möglich. Am Beispiel der Ehrrestitutionssuppliken am Reichshofrat Kaiser Rudolfs II. (1576-1612) analysiert Florian Zeilinger die Wiederherstellung verlorengegangener Ehre durch kaiserliche Gnade. Er fokussiert auf die kommunikativen Praktiken und Strategien der Supplikanten und des Reichshofrats, ihre Argumente für die Ehrrestitution sowie die darin erkennbaren Ehrkonzepte. Die analytische Konzeptualisierung von Ehre als Sozialkredit erweist sich dabei als erkenntnisfördernd.

Antworten findet er, versuchsweise, in mehreren Hinsichten: Neben der Einübung in Phantasie sind es die Einfühlung gerade auch in Menschen in existentiellen Grenzsituationen sowie die Eingewöhnung in das Aushalten von Kontingenz, die Lesen nach wie vor ein auch politisch wichtiges Tun sein lassen.
Transkulturelle Ausstellungspraxis
Authors: Lutz Barbara
Published: July 2022

Transkulturalität zählt zu einem der relevantesten Paradigmen in den Kulturwissenschaften, wenn es um die Beschreibung der Begegnung und des Miteinanders von Kulturen geht. Wenngleich das Paradigma als Theorie in verschiedenen Disziplinen und Diskursen zirkuliert, hat es hinsichtlich seiner Anwendung in der Praxis bislang noch keine umfassende Beachtung erfahren. Anhand einer fundierten praxeologischen Analyse der documenta 12 zeigt Barbara Lutz, wie Transkulturalität für das Kuratieren von Ausstellungen in globalen Zusammenhängen produktiv gemacht werden kann. Sie weist damit den Weg für Museen und andere Ausstellungsinstitutionen, die sich Prozessen der Dekolonialisierung stellen.

Knut Bergmann unternimmt in seinem Beitrag zur Frage, inwieweit auch 2021/22 das Amt und die Wahl des Bundespräsidenten Signale für die Koalitionsbildung beinhaltete, einen Ausflug in die »Bonner Republik«. Schließlich haben sich seit Anbeginn der Bundesrepublik die Bundesversammlungen immer wieder als koalitionspolitischer Seismograf erwiesen. Die Genese der Wiederwahl von Frank-Walter Steinmeier am 13. Februar 2022, viereinhalb Monate nach der Bundestagswahl, erbringt im Ergebnis zumindest im Wortsinn eine strategische Seismografen-Funktion. Denn sie besteht schließlich im Registrieren schon kleinster Erschütterungen, manchmal weit vor dem eigentlichen, dann sichtbar zu Tage tretenden Ereignis. Frank-Walter Steinmeier, mit sozialdemokratischen Wahlkampf-Strategien bestens vertraut, muss daran geglaubt haben, dass Olaf Scholz eine Chance bei der Bundestagswahl hat - die Konkurrenz hätte nach der Erklärung des Staatsoberhauptes Ende Mai 2021, sich um eine zweite Amtszeit bewerben zu wollen, gewarnt sein müssen.
Was bedeutet Fortschritt und was macht ihn möglich?
Authors: Ristau Malte
Published: July 2022

Malte Ristau beschreibt, Evidenz gestützt, einen erfolgreichen Sozialstaat als Garanten von geglückter Demokratie. Er wirbt unter ausdrücklichem Bezug auf die Agenda 2010 für eine wirksame Mixtur aus Fördern und Fordern, Fürsorge und Vorsorge. Kritisch hinsichtlich Effektivität und Effizienz beurteilt er in jüngerer Zeit eingeführte Leistungen wie die Rente 63. Anhand der Familienpolitik insbesondere, Familie definiert er als soziale Mitte, erörtert er Stile, Pfade und Wirkungen. Zu einem modernen Politikmuster gehören für ihn Wissenschaftsbasierung, offensive Kommunikation und klare Führung. Für die laufende Legislatur priorisiert Ristau gesellschaftspolitische Ziele und ordnet ihnen Maßnahmen zu.
DIE LINKE im Irrgarten
Authors: Falkner Thomas
Published: July 2022

Die Post-Merkel-Ära ist eine Zeit, in der die ökonomische, ökologische und soziale Transformation auf der politischen Agenda weit nach oben rückt. Unterschiedliche Interessen, Bestrebungen und Einstellungen prallen direkter aufeinander. Obwohl dabei allgemein eine moderate Links-Tendenz und ein politischer Platz für eine radical left erkennbar sind, ist DIE LINKE das erste Opfer dieser Umstellung. Die Gründe sind hausgemacht: die vielfältigen inneren Blockaden, ihr Unvermögen zur Überwindung der ideologische Borniertheit in den eigenen Reihen und der an der falschen Konfliktlinie aufgemachte Dauerstreit mit Sahra Wagenknecht. Vor den Herausforderungen von Corona- und Ukraine-Krise hat DIE LINKE faktisch versagt.

Die AfD als neue Volkspartei des Ostens?
Authors: Weisskircher Manès
Published: July 2022

Die AfD ist in Teilen Ostdeutschlands die stimmenstärkste Partei. Daher untersucht dieser Beitrag wesentliche Dimensionen der AfD als »ostdeutsches Phänomen«: (1) Um die parteiinternen Konflikte der AfD zu verstehen, sind die Kategorien »Ost« und »West« zwar relevant - nichtsdestotrotz gibt es wesentliche Konfliktlinien, die dazu quer verlaufen. (2) Hilfreicher ist die Ost-West-Dichotomie beim Verständnis der elektoralen Stärke der AfD. Die innerdeutsche Differenz des AfD-Wahlergebnisses hat sich bei den letzten beiden Bundestagswahlen sogar verstärkt. (3) Politikwissenschaftlich ist die AfD in Ostdeutschland nicht als »Volkspartei« zu klassifizieren, auch nicht in Sachsen und Thüringen. Die Bundesrepublik Deutschland ist mittlerweile ein politisches System ohne Volksparteien.
Kunstbegriffe zwischen Recht und Praxis
Authors: Müller Marius
Published: July 2022

Was gilt als Kunst(-werk) und was nicht? Und wer kann diese Frage beantworten? Die Geschichte der Kunstgeschichte selbst liefert hierzu aufschlussreiche Perspektiven, wenn man die rechtshistorischen Kontexte mit in den Blick nimmt. Zwischen Dada und Fluxus untersucht Marius Müller die wechselseitige Einflussnahme von Rechtswissenschaft und Kunstgeschichte auf die Begrifflichkeiten und Definitionen von (bildender) Kunst. Dabei kommt er zu einem überraschenden Befund: Das Denken der juristischen »Kunstbetrachter« und ihrer Fakultät prägten auf kunsttheoretischer Ebene das Verständnis von (bildender) Kunst.

Die Zukunft des Freihandels
Authors: Felbermayr Gabriel
Published: July 2022

Gabriel Felbermayr plädiert für mehr statt weniger Freihandel. Auch die Dämpfer durch die Coronapandemie sieht er nur als vorübergehend an. Staaten sollten wieder stärker auf Freihandel im Rahmen vereinbarter Spielregeln setzen, statt wohlstandsmindernde und innovationshemmende Handelsbarrieren aufzubauen.

Inflexão ultraliberal e dinâmica federativa no Brasil
Authors: Monteiro Neto Aristides , Vieira Danilo Jorge
Published: July 2022

A sociedade brasileira vivencia atualmente um novo ciclo histórico desafiador, deflagrado na segunda metade da década passada, cuja característica mais relevante é a retomada da agenda de reformas neoliberais dos anos 1990 em bases ainda mais amplas e sistêmicas, conformando o que tem sido denominado de inflexão ultraliberal – conceito que faz referência ao sentido do processo (inflexão) e, ao mesmo tempo, ao seu conteúdo (ultraliberal). O objetivo do artigo é discutir as implicações dessas transformações para o regime federativo do país. O argumento principal é que a inflexão ultraliberal, a partir de 2015, tem alterado elementos-chave do sistema federal brasileiro, engendrando, com isso, uma nova dinâmica federativa, bastante distinta daquela que prevaleceu desde a Constituição de 1988.
