Das Selbstverständnis gegenwärtiger Christentümer im deutschsprachigen Raum und darüber hinaus bezieht sich in großer Übereinstimmung auf soziale Gerechtigkeit und fordert zur Parteinahme für die Unterdrückten und Ausgebeuteten auf. Dies korrespondiert mit der Pointierung des Evangeliums als social gospel, konkret: der theologischen und kirchlichen Selbstverpflichtung, die Nachfolge Christi in Verantwortung für das Wohl aller Menschen zu leben.
In diesem Zusammenhang gelten naheliegend Rassismus und Frauenfeindlichkeit sowie sexuelle Ausbeutung und darüber hinaus ebenso lebensfeindliche Umweltzerstörung als Einstellungen und Praktiken, welche auch die deutsch-sprachige Religionsdidaktik längst und nahezu selbstverständlich ablehnt, pädagogisch bekämpft und durch Gegenmodelle wie kulturelle Vielfalt, Gleichberechtigung, sexuelle Selbstbestimmung und Nachhaltigkeit zu überwinden versucht.
This paper deals with the disclosure of subaltern thinking in current German-language textbooks for religious education. For the hermeneutical framing of this analysis, the approach of a postcolonial reading is particularly profitable. Obvious hierarchical relationships from clearly up and down can consequently be made visible and their presumed self-evidence unmasked. Even hidden hegemonic forms of expression can be uncovered in this way. With regard to current theology and religious education racism and misogyny, environmental degradation and sexual exploitation are attitudes that have already and almost as amatter of course been taken up critically. They are pedagogically reflected and attempted to overcome by using counter-models such as cultural diversity, equal rights, sustainability and sexual self-determination.In exciting contrast to this there are still nowadays textbooks used with remnants of exactly such formats of colonial thoughts. We argue that decolonising schoolbooks can be a useful part of decolonising the religious education curriculum. The schoolbook analysis carried out for this purpose is structured by four leading categories: Anthropological assumptions (1), religious classifications and interpretations (2), conceptions of culture and its hybridity (3) and finally the relationship to creation and environment (4). Textbooks from primary, secondary and vocational schools were examined.
Post-migrant societies in Europe are characterized by political, cultural, religious, and social changes. Where people meet under the conditions of migration and globalization, new places and spaces of negotiating are arising. They are formed by provocative questions, dynamic reorientation, and social transformation, in particular regarding religious affiliations, contexts and experiences. This article will consider challenges and resources of religion in terms of coping with ambiguity and building up post-migrant community relations. In this context, the concept of the ‘contact zone’ as a post-migrant place or space provides an insight to social spaces where cultures and religions meet, clash and grapple with each other, often in emotionally charged contexts of highly asymmetrical relations of power, like displacement and their aftermaths. These contact zones offer a place of discussing power, oppression, and religious diversities, but also find innovative perspectives for post-migrant identities. With reference to this, three case studies based on experiences of refugees in Europa with contact zones in refugee centers, schools and educational institutions allow an understanding of the significance of places, the feeling of rootlessness and the findings of new places of religious identity, of ‘embodied’ habitation and participation. Finally this article emphasize the meaning of public speech in post-migrant societies from a Christian perspective.
