Algunos podrían describir al diseño indistintamente como práctica académica e investigativa, artesanía, arte, ciencia técnica y social, investigación aplicada. Por tratarse de una práctica con un componente empírico, basado en la experiencia del propio diseñador, la producción de conocimiento desde el diseño tiende a confundirse como un proceso técnico o práctico, sin llegar a ser un campo de producción de pensamiento. Para Frayling, este equívoco -que es común entre el arte, la artesanía y el diseño- pone en riesgo una relación que es mucho más amplia, y es la que se da entre la práctica y la teoría del diseño.

A classic David & Goliath tale, complete with colorful heroes, cold-hearted villains, and nail-biting games—with the hockey rink serving as an arena for a nation's resistance.During the height of the Cold War, a group of small-town young men would lead their underdog hockey team from the little country of Czechoslovakia against the Soviet Union, the juggernaut in their sport. As they battled on the ice, the young players would keep their people's quest for freedom alive, and forge a way to fight back against the authoritarian forces that sought to crush them. From the sudden invasion of Czechoslovakia by an armada of tanks and 500,000 Warsaw Pact soldiers, to a hockey victory over the Soviets that inspired half a million furious citizens to take to the streets in an attempt to destroy all representations that they could find of their occupiers, Freedom to Win tells a story that ranges from iconic moments in history to courageous individual stories. We will witness the fearless escape by three brothers who make up the core of the national team. We will experience thrilling world championship games. We will watch as one brave player takes a stand and leads ten thousand people in a tear-filled rendition of the Czechoslovak national anthem amid chants of “freedom!” while a revolution rages in the streets of Prague. And we will cheer as the team takes on its nemesis one last time with the Olympic gold medal at stake. At the heart of Freedom to Win is the story of the Holíks, a Czechoslovak family whose resistance to the Communists embodied the deepest desires of the people of their country. Faced with life under the cruel and arbitrary regime that had stolen their family butcher shop, the Holík boys became national hockey icons and inspirations to their people. Filled with heart-pounding moments on the ice and unforgettable slices of history, Freedom to Win is the ultimate tale of why sports truly matter.

Good Book interrogates how white evangelical Christians in the US make the Bible the'Good Book.'An inanimate object with a contested table of contents ripe for multiple meanings and uses, the Bible cannot be a moral agent on its own. People must make it so, as indeed they have. As prevailing social norms change, evangelical Christians confront intellectual and interpretive challenges as they quest to make an ancient book newly relevant and ever benevolent, especially for historically oppressed populations. While histories show us that white Christians in the US have frequently appealed to their Bibles in support of issues now judged to be on the wrong side of history, including racism, sexism, and colonialism, contemporary white evangelical figures have in recent years worked steadfastly to defend the Bible against charges of complicity in harm. This is especially the case when it comes to patriarchy and the place of women, as evangelicals conscript the Bible into arguments for and against patriarchal normativity in response to changing conceptions of what is good. The Bible's historical origins in the hierarchical, patriarchal contexts of the ancient world create challenges for any Christian seeking to interpret their Bible as fundamentally liberative. Good Book shows the creative negotiations that Bible-benevolence projects demand, as evangelicals wrestle both Jesus and Paul into advocates for women. The quest to maintain the Bible's goodness is ultimately a respectability project for evangelical Christians in the US who seek to maintain moral authority in an increasingly diverse religious landscape. Whether they rebrand patriarchy or seek to untangle the Bible from sexism, white evangelical Bible-benevolence projects perpetuate misogyny.

Gute Schulen prägen das Zusammenleben von morgen Schulen müssen sich verändern – darin sind sich immer mehr Menschen einig. In einer Zeit, in der große Hoffnungen auf das digitale Lernen gesetzt werden und der Distanzunterricht für Lehrkräfte, Kinder und Eltern eine größere Bedeutung erhält, wird die Forderung nach Veränderung immer drängender. Aber in welche Richtung soll sich Schule insgesamt entwickeln? Und wie startet man eigentlich einen Schulentwicklungsprozess? Vor allem aber: Welche Zukunft hat eine Schule, die nicht mehr zu den Kindern und Jugendlichen von heute passt? Darüber wird nicht nur in der Fachwelt kontrovers diskutiert. In diesem Buch stellt Kati Ahl die drängenden Fragen an die richtigen Personen. Sie befragt Bildungsexpertinnen und -experten, Schulleitungen, Schülerinnen und Schüler sowie Eltern. Zu Wort kommen: Margret Rasfeld, die Mitgründerin der Bewegung'Schule im Aufbruch', Jürgen Kaube, einer der Herausgeber der Frankfurter Allgemeinen Zeitung und Autor des Buches'Ist die Schule zu blöd für unsere Kinder?', die Mutter eines Jungen mit Asperger-Syndrom,'PISA-Papst'Andreas Schleicher, Micha Pallesche, Schulleiter der Ernst-Reuter-Gemeinschaftsschule in Karlsruhe, der ersten'smart school'in Baden-Württemberg, und weitere Fachleute. Michael Schratz, der Sprecher der Jury des Deutschen Schulpreises, sagt über dieses Buch:'Dies ist kein konventionelles Buch darüber, wie man Schule verbessern kann. Es ist ein viel ehrgeizigeres Werk, das bisherige Herangehensweisen an Schulentwicklung in Frage stellt.'Ihr Fazit zieht Kati Ahl in 17 Thesen für gute Schulen mit Blick auf das Zusammenleben von morgen. Schule verändern – jetzt! richtet sich an Lehrerinnen und Lehrer, Schulleitungen, multiprofessionelle Teams und Eltern sowie an alle, die mit Schulpolitik und Schulentwicklung befasst oder an Bildung interessiert sind.

Scheinbar kommt das digitale Zeitalter wie eine Naturentwicklung über uns. Doch es gibt keinen Zweifel daran, dass es von politisch-wirtschaftlichen Kräften vorangetrieben wird. Die Corona-Krise hat der Digitalisierung sogar einen immensen zusätzlichen Schub ermöglicht: Digitale Medien dienen jetzt flächendeckend als Substitute für analoge Verhaltensweisen - von der Schule über das soziale Leben und den Kulturkonsum bis zum E-Commerce. Der öffentliche Diskurs über das Für und Wider dieser Entwicklung und die dazu eingerichteten Ethik-Kommissionen fordern allerdings nur, dass die Digitalisierung der Gesellschaft'human'gestaltet werden soll. Im Dunkeln bleibt dabei, was im Rücken der fortschreitenden digitalen Vernetzung aller Lebensbereiche geschieht. Deshalb fragt der erste Band der Schriftenreihe Praxis der Philosophie nach den analogen Kompetenzen. Unsere These: Die analogen Kompetenzen veröden, werden verlernt oder - in der heranwachsenden Generation - gar nicht erst erworben.

“Absolutely not to be missed.” —Vogue “A muscular, canny memoir about labor and power and gender…I couldn't put it down. What a fucking gorgeous book.” —Carmen Maria Machado, author of In the Dream House A queer teen rebel escapes small-town Appalachia and becomes Los Angeles's Renowned Lesbian Dominatrix in this searing and darkly funny memoir that upends our ideas about desire, class, and power.The dominatrix is the id of American femininity. She says the words that we all wish we could say when we find ourselves frozen in the presence of men. No is principal among them. So writes Chris Belcher, who appeared destined for a life of conventional femininity after she took first place in an infant beauty contest—a minor glory that followed her around a working-class town of 1,600 people in rural West Virginia. But when she came out as queer, the conservative community that had once celebrated its prettiest baby turned on her. A decade later, living in Los Angeles and trying to stay afloat in the early years of a PhD program, Belcher plunges into the work of a pro domme. Branding herself as Los Angeles's Renowned Lesbian Dominatrix, she specializes in male clients who want a domme to make them feel worthless, shameful, and weak—all the abuse regularly heaped upon women for free. A queer woman whom men can trust with the unorthodox sides of their sexualities, Belcher is paid to be the keeper of the fantasies that they can't enact in their everyday relationships. But moonlighting as a sex worker also carries risks, like the not-so-submissive who tries to turn the tables and the jealous client out for revenge. As Belcher moves between the embodied world of the pro domme and the abstract realm of academia, she discovers how lessons from the classroom apply to the dungeon, and vice versa. Still, fear that her doctoral program won't approve burdens her with a double life. Pretty Baby is her second coming out. In this sharp and discerning memoir, we see through Belcher's eyes how power and desire can be renegotiated—or reinforced.
