House of Modern HistoryDekolonisierung und globale Psyche – Wenn wir einen Aufsatz nicht verstehenChris hat den Aufsatz gefunden: Decolonizing Madness von Ana Antic, Sozial- und Kulturwissenschaftlerin. Senta fand ihn auch gut nach dem Abstract und der Einleitung. Es geht um die Suche nach einer allgemeinen Definition von „common humanity“ und einer „global psyche“ nach dem zweiten Weltkrieg. Dies soll hier als Linse genutzt werden um den Prozess der Dekolonisierung genauer anzusehen und zu verstehen. Und zum Schluss mussten wir feststellen: Wir haben ihn beide nicht verstanden. Was machen wir mit so etwas? Begegnet einem ja auch im Studium immer wieder. Wie gehen wir damit um? Was können wir trotzdem davon lernen?

A Cup Of EnglishEntertainment at half time.Entertainment at half-time is a big deal over here. Whenever you go to a college level or professional level sporting event, there is entertainment half way through the game. I saw some interesting half-time performances the other day in Spokane. My family and I had gone with my in-laws to see Whitworth's men's basketball against Lewis and Clark. Three of my husband's second cousins actually play on the Whitworth team, so there was an added incentive to go. At the moment, Whitworth's team is second place in the nation, as far as college level goes. And Lewis and Clark have only...2011-02-0105 min
